Chapter 5067
After eating some grilled fish, Neil felt more energetic. "Ambrose. That guy, the one we
fought with... He's too strong. We won't be able to make it if we barge right in." "Ambrose
nodded his head and thought for a while. "Yes. Indeed, it's useless if we hit a rock with
another rock. We have to think of another plan.
He was annoyed with himself. 'When have I ever felt so defeated since becoming the
Master of the Elysium Gate?'
When Ambrose dwelled on his defeat, Neil got an idea. "I got it! While we're on the island,
we could capture two patrol guards and disguise ourselves as them. It'll be a lot easier
then."
Neil had entirely inherited all of the strength from Chester-his wit and steadiness.
Ambrose laughed and patted his thigh, "Good! Smart thinking. Let's use this idea. Let's
rest for a while. Then, we can think of a way to sneak onto the island when the sky is
dark."

At that moment, Antigonus sat on the throne in the main hall. It was already late at night,
and he was resting.
Suddenly, a disciple with patrolling duty strode in the main with his face looking very
embarrassed. He diligently reported to Antigonus, "Your Excellency, we've searched the
nearby waters three times and failed to find those two men."
Since Morticia had addressed Antigonus as 'His Excellency', the members of Sea Dragon
Palace followed Morticia and used it to address Antigonus. In fact, the disciple was very
worried when he reported it.
Antigonus furrowed his brows. 'Not found? Did they die in the ocean?
Based on their ability, they couldn't have died so easily.’
After giving it a thought, Antigonus said, "Spread the order. Increase the defense of the
entire island. No slack is allowed."
Antigonus had careful and meticulous thoughts as the supreme leader of the fiend race.
He had a high observation.
His instinct told him that Ambrose and Neil could not have died so easily in the ocean. It
was possible that they would try to sneak onto the island once again.
'Is it necessary to be on high alert?' The disciple had a horrified look on his face.
Ever since Antigonus arrived on the island, the defense on the island was stronger than
before. Everyone took turns swapping shifts, but they were already exhausted.
Antigonus wanted to increase the defense by having more frequent patrolling. No one
could withstand it, but the disciple did not dare to speak his mind when facing his strong
temperament.
Since the disciple stood there looking conflicted, Antigonus frowned and asked, "Why? Is
there something else?" "N-No!" The disciples responded and quickly left the main hall.
After the disciples passed on the order, every disciple on the island started to complain,
but they still needed to follow the order.
As time slowly passed, midnight arrived. There were additional look-out posts appearing

but the disciples who guarded it were already exhausted. Many disciples could not stand it
and had already fallen asleep since it was already midnight.
Just then, two shadows from not far away quickly swam to the shore and got onto the
island. They moved very lightly and swiftly.
They were Ambrose and Neil.
After resting for a few hours, they decided to sneak onto the island at midnight. However,
they planned to disguise themselves as the islands' disciples.
Once they reached a huge boulder, they quickly hid.
After observing for a while, Neil whispered, "Looks like they've increased the island's
defense. There are many look-out posts in the area."
Ambrose nodded his head and looked very solemn. Within a stretch of the coastline, there
were nine look-out posts, twice more than before. Under such a situation, it would be even
harder to sneak onto the island without alerting anyone.
