Seeing Thor's frustrated expression in front of the indestructible chains.

Aside from Gandalf and Kalen, everyone else present looked solemn.

Thor had originally thought the keys were only for opening the passage.

Once used, they would be of no further use.

He never expected that these keys could also unlock the Seal on the pendulum of life. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Six chains, six keys, no more, no less, just right.

This made Thor believe Gandalf's words once again.

He reacted immediately.

"Grab him!"

"Snatch the keys from his hand!"

The moment his words fell.

Boom!

Thor transformed into a dazzling blue electric light, like a teleport, pouncing fiercely towards Gandalf's location!

Park In-maeng also unhesitatingly raised the staff in his hand, and a quiet blue flame rapidly condensed at its tip!

Yingsi Lan had already placed his hand on the "kotetsu" at his waist, and a cold glint flashed in his sharp eyes!

Only Polina remained standing still, unmoving.

Her beautiful blue eyes observed the still calm Gandalf with interest, seemingly anticipating his next move.

Facing this thunderous strike, which would make any SS-rank expert change their expression.

Gandalf, controlled by Zhou Huai, didn't even bat an eyelid.

He simply raised the bronze key in his hand calmly and shouted loudly at the rapidly approaching blue electric light.

"If you take one more step, do you believe I'll destroy them all!"

"By then, none of you will get the pendulum of life!"

The calm voice, like a clap of thunder, resounded in everyone's ears!

As soon as he said this.

The blue electric light, which was almost upon Gandalf, stopped abruptly less than ten meters away from him!

Thor's figure reappeared.

The violent blue electric snakes around him crackled, clearly indicating his extreme rage.

Park In-maeng and Yingsi Lan also stopped their movements.

Thor stared intently at Gandalf, his handsome face filled with a look of disbelief.

"Such important things can be easily destroyed?

Do you really think I'm that easy to fool?"

Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, revealed a confident smile.

"If you don't believe me, you can try to get closer."

He paused and began to persuade.

"We have already decided to give up the pendulum of life."

"Why can't you let us go?"

"As long as you let Kalen and me leave safely."

"I am willing to offer all six keys."

In the distance, Polina's beautiful brows furrowed slightly when she heard Gandalf say this.

"What is this guy planning?"

She didn't believe that Gandalf would give up the pendulum of life so easily.

Park In-maeng and Yingsi Lan exchanged glances, a hint of struggle flashing in their eyes.

Now was definitely the best time to kill Gandalf and Kalen.

If they were allowed to leave like this, there might never be such a good opportunity again.

However, they hadn't specifically paid attention to the material of those keys before.

What if they could really be destroyed?

Then all their previous efforts would be in vain.

They dared not gamble on this.

Thor also dared not gamble.

The violent blue lightning around him slowly receded.

Looking at Gandalf, he actually praised him for once.

"You are very smart."

"You found the only chance for you to survive."

"I agree."

"As long as you hand over those six bronze keys, I will let you go."

Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, calmly shook his head.

"I don't trust verbal promises."

"Swear by your Great Lord of Light."

The Free Federation is different from the Great Xia Country.

They have their own faith.

That is the Great Lord of Light.

It is rumored that he brought hope for survival to the Human Race in this world.

It was he who gave the Human Race the opportunity to change professions.

The people of the Free Federation devoutly regard him as their faith.

Once an oath is sworn in the name of the Lord of Light, it must never be broken.

Hearing Gandalf's request.

Thor's brows furrowed tightly.

He was struggling.

After a brief hesitation, he still chose to compromise.

He slowly raised his right hand and placed it on his chest, an unprecedented look of piety on his handsome face.

"I, Thor! Swear in the name of the Great Lord of Light!"

"As long as Gandalf and Kalen hand over those six bronze keys, I will never attack them again in this ruin!"

"If I break this oath, may I be eternally damned to darkness, never to see light!"

After doing all this, Thor's face was extremely grim.

He stared intensely at Gandalf, his voice cold.

"Now, are you satisfied?"

Zhou Huai smiled and nodded, then unhesitatingly threw out all six keys in his hand.

Then, he softly said to the already stunned Kalen beside him.

"Let's go."

Watching the two slowly walk away.

Thor's eyes narrowed completely.

Looking at the six heavy bronze keys.

He picked one up and tried it simply.

The seemingly ordinary bronze key was indeed exceptionally sturdy!

Even under his strength, there was no sign of damage!

Thor's face instantly became so gloomy it looked like it would drip water.

"Damn it!"

"That guy tricked me!"

He cursed in a low voice.

The anger in his heart almost completely consumed his rationality!

However, he had already sworn in the name of the Lord of Light.

At this point, it was too late to say anything.

He could only get the pendulum of life first.

He took the key and flew up, slowly approaching one of the dark chains.

Sure enough.

The moment he approached, an ancient keyhole appeared on the cold chain without any warning.

Only then did a smile appear on Thor's face.

At least Gandalf hadn't lied about the keys being able to unlock the Seal.

Thus, Thor tried each key in his hand.

Finally, with the second to last key, he successfully inserted it into the keyhole.

At the same time, Thor felt some of his power being drawn away by the key.

He let out a soft sound of surprise.

Because the amount drawn was very small, negligible.

So he didn't pay it any mind.

He gently turned the key.

"Click--!"

A crisp sound.

The dark chain that had troubled them for so long broke with a snap and automatically fell to ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) the ground!

"It worked!"

Seeing this scene.

Everyone's faces showed uncontrollable ecstasy.

...

At the same time.

On the other side of the Bone Land.

Zhou Huai and Kalen were silently standing at a high point, observing the location of the pendulum of life.

Kalen looked at the ecstatic figures in the distance, his scorched face filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"You've handed over all the keys now."

"We have no chance of winning anymore."

"Why are we still here?"

Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, motioned for him to be silent.

Then a confident smile appeared on his face.

"Don't rush."

"The show has just begun."
