Chapter 474: Refine (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Angele traveled in the cloud tunnel at full speed. He was surrounded by the boiling clouds looking like cotton flowers.
*BOOM*
Something exploded behind him.
Angele stopped and turned around.
He could see the black insects moving through the green mist and flying to him like crazy.
"Damn!" Angele's expression changed. He turned around and activated his true form, turning into a monster with a height of more than nine meters.
His long and sharp scorpion tail swung to the edge of the clouds.
Angele pointed at the insects and a translucent white masked flew to them through the thick smoke. He accelerated with the help of the tail and started heading to the Nightmare Realm.
*CHI CHI CHI*
Black smoke was released from the tip of Angele's sharp tail and permeated the whole tunnel.
Angele quickly moved away from his original location.
He could still hear the noises coming from behind; his head ached.
'Did I kill them?' Angele turned his head around and checked the boiling clouds. The dimension tunnel was destroyed.
'Great, it seems like I made a good decision. If I don't destroy the dimension tunnel, I'm not sure if I can survive…'
He was not sure if he did the right thing. The insect that he created during the bloodline research was unstable.
Angele sighed and calmed down.
"They'll die in a month, I assume it'll be fine…" Angele muttered and increased his speed.
The boiling clouds were getting darker and darker. Finally, he saw the familiar sky of the Nightmare Realm.
*CHI*
Red electric pulses appeared on the surface of the tunnel and the red clouds that looked like cotton started vibrating.
'Unstable already?' Angele's brow furrowed. He quickly charged out of the center of the large red vortex. He drew a black line in the air and started landing.
*GA*
A large red bird with two heads appeared on the right side of Angele—it felt like the bird was waiting for him.
It was a strange red bird with no feathers. The bird's body was covered with black cracks that looked like wounds. The cracks were filled up with a sticky liquid that looked like oil. The head on the right was longer than the head on the left and they were making a strange noise at the same time.
Angele turned around and landed on the bird's back.
The bird's body was more than ten meters long but it could barely handle Angele on its back.
Angele stood on the strange bird and stared at the red vortex.
In the center of the red vortex, the tunnel was shrinking at full speed, surrounded by countless red electric pulses.
Suddenly, Angele's brain ached.
"Father… Father…" A strange voice rushed into Angele's brain, it felt like there were many children talking.
"Become part of us… we shall become one… we shall be together forever…"
"We shall… become… one…"
Angele's sight blurred, he shook his head several times.
"Damn!" Angele could feel a chill running down his spine.
*BOOM*
A ball of smoke appeared in the center of the vortex, it looked like something was trying to travel through the dimension tunnel and enter the Nightmare Realm.
The electric pulses moved to the smoke and finally stopped it from expanding.
Angele's heart was racing when the smoke ball appeared. He was anxious and terrified.
He slowly landed on the ground with the bird and calmed down after the smoke ball disappeared.
*CHI*
Angele's tail stabbed into the chest of the bird and pulled a pink bird-shaped shadow out of its body. He quickly absorbed the bird's soul using the tail.
The dead body of the bird fell to the ground and stopped moving.
"Years of research… I hope everything is going as I planned…" Angele muttered and took out the green skull. Green flames started burning in the skull but no one was talking.
"This is Phoenix, I'll just leave you a message. Bone, ask Vapor and his people to close all the dimension vortexes and leave the realm. Just leave a channel for the souls to pass. I think the World Tree is in the Abyss Realm."
*CHI*
Some static noise came from the skull but no one responded.
Angele returned the skull into the mirror. He looked at the sky and noticed that the red vortex had completely disappeared.
*CHI*
Angele pressed the center of his chest and his sight blurred for a second. He could see the image of the volcano ruin flashing in his sight and the scene quickly changed to a red plain.
He could see the enormous body of Eye Devil. Eye Devil was sealed by the four rotating chains and she could not move an inch.
On top of the black pyramid, a black ball was spinning like crazy. All the blue souls in the sky were being absorbed by the ball. The number of souls was increasing every second. It felt like that there was a heavy rain going on.
Angele remained silent as he looked at the blue souls. He waited for a while and flew to the pyramid.
Minutes later, he arrived at the top of the pyramid.
The woman in black was holding the red notebook that recorded the Black Death Ritual in hand. The rune circle on the notebook was spinning like a gear.
Three of the five empty slots in the rune circle were filled up and two of the slots were still empty. One was at the center and the other one was almost filled up.
The woman looked at the rune circle carefully, she was trying to figure out what was going on.
She raised her head after she noticed Angele's presence.
"How is this even possible? The rune circle is solidifying certain substances… Master Phoenix, you're so knowledgeable." She was paying her respects.
"Our life expectancy is so long that you can probably reach my level one day." Angele smiled and looked at the notebook. "How's the situation?"
The woman nodded and responded, "Everything is going well. A large number of souls suddenly appeared and I don't even know what's going on. The good thing is one of the beads will be completed thanks to the souls."
Angele sat down on top of the pyramid with his legs crossed. It seemed like Eye Devil was satisfied with the souls and Angele decided to absorb the negative emotions purified by the woman.
He lost one white mask and wanted to create a new one right away.
Angele could block 12 fatal attacks and the masks represented different negative emotions. It was an important ability that he spent years developing. However, the mask would take him months to create.
The elders that served Eye Devil were flying around her waist. They were taking turns to guard Eye Devil.
The eyeball knights were also patrolling the area on the back of red owls. The resting eyeball knights were having food and drinks around the campfires on the plain.
It was getting dark outside, the red sky turned black, but no star could be seen.
The mud on the plain was covered by a red glow and it brightened up the area.
The four blue chains around Eye Devil's body were rotating and making some loud noise. It was the only loud noise on the plain.
Angele suddenly opened his eyes and stopped meditating after a while.
"Give me the notebook." He looked at the woman in black.
The woman hesitated for a second and handed the notebook to Angele.
"I lived in this world for so long, but it's the first time that I found something I couldn't understand at all… I was thinking if I can become your student and you can teach me the things you know… I feel like that there's a whole new world waiting for me…"
"Well, I have nothing to hide anyway." Angele smiled. "You have… talent. I'm sure you'll become a strong being if you keep studying. However, let's focus on the important things first."
Angele stood up and threw the notebook into the air.
The notebook floated above his head. Angele used the long scorpion tail to stab into the center of the notebook.
*CHI*
The pages kept turning and it stopped at the page with the Black Death Ritual.
"Desperation and terror will be generated by the cruelty. This is the bead of desperation and I need it for the bead of terror," Angele explained.
"See, it starts…" Angele's face was covered by a black mask, but he was smiling.
The four dark beads left the notebook and turned into a spinning circle with a small vortex in the center.
*CHI*
A blue soul passed by.
*CHI CHI CHI*
More and more souls moved to the vortex that was surrounded by the four beads. They charged into the vortex like crazy.
Angele opened his arms and the four beads were right above his head.
*CHI*
Some white smoke was released from the center of the vortex.
The white smoke was divided into seven different parts and entered the holes on Angele's face.
White light was released from Angele's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. They were all absorbing the white smoke.
A large blurry shadow slowly appeared behind him.
It was a monster with a height of over one thousand meters. The monster looked like a dark-red scorpion with more than ten feet. The scorpion was humongous and terrifying.
Strangely, there were faces with different expressions on the surface of the scorpion's carapace. It felt like those faces were trying to leave the monster's body.
There were crazy faces, sneering faces, terrified faces, and faces that looked desperate.
"What… is this thing?" Eye Devil noticed the change and quickly looked at the giant shadow behind Angele's body.
"I've never seen a refined true form like that…" Eye Devil was searching through her memory.
Two tall men in white robes stood up on her waist and stared at the monster scorpion's shadow as well.
Chapter 475: Refine (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Two men with white bull-like horns covered their bodies in long white robes.
"What a scene!" The younger man looked at the shadow and sighed.
The other man raised his head. "This is totally different from the energy waves of the abyss… Neil, let's play a trick on him." He looked at the young one.
"Sure."
The young man smiled, stepped forward, and raised his right hand. He blew some air onto the palm.
*WOO*
Some white smoke was released from his mouth.
The white smoke expanded and turned into a large ball of white frost smoke, charging at the shadow behind Angele.
The souls in the sky were frozen into ice blocks and started falling. The ice blocks broke into pieces after landing on the ground.
It seemed like the giant scorpion noticed the threat and suddenly straightened its back.
*ROAR*
The terrifying voice echoed in the sky, the frost climbed up the surface of the shadow, and was about to turn the shadow into a large ice block.
"I… em YefurKn (I'm the Lord of Terror)!" the strange scorpion shouted; it seemed like the scorpion was speaking an ancient language.
*BOOM*
The scorpion's body was surrounded by red flames and the flames melted all the frost.
Angele opened his arms—it felt like he was trying to hug the sky. Rays of white light went through the holes on his faces.
A circle formed by four beads was rotating slowly on top of his head and a ball of red flesh started forming in the center of the circle. The flesh ball was pumping like a heart.
The two white robes' expressions changed after hearing the scorpion's voice and they quickly exchanged eye contact.
"The Dread Aura... A Dread Lord that's accepted by the realm power… But this is the southland…" The young man sighed, he sounded surprised, depressed, and excited at the same time.
The old man narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.
"Dread Lord, we apologize for our joke. Please accept our gift," he spoke in a loud voice and threw a thing that looked like an eyeball in the air.
*CHI*
The white eyeball flew into the air and stopped in front of the scorpion's forehead, releasing a large amount of white smoke.
"This is an energy eye we acquired through a trade with someone from the northland. I think it'll help you recover your true form," the old man spoke in a serious tone.
Angele's mind and body all became part of the large scorpion; however, he could not control the scorpion.
It felt like he was dreaming and just following his instinct. Angele did not want to say anything, but the scorpion still opened its mouth. He was accepted by the realm power and just spat out those words.
A warm and gentle aura surrounded the area. It felt like he was embraced by his mother.
Angele recognized the aura immediately—he had used the power of this aura multiple times. It was the power of the nightmare, the realm power of the Nightmare Realm and the strongest plague.
Angele could feel that he was trapped in a closed area. The area was created by white rune circles that looked like mirrors. He could not move at all; it was a strange dimension.
The rune of the circle looked familiar to him. It was the perfect sign he acquired by mixing the bloodline of the scorpion woman, the Son of Sun, the Single-Eyed Giant, and the bones he found from the remaining of the strong beings.
It was the sign that represented his true form.
"Free yourself… Free yourself…!"
There was a strange voice in Angele's mind that somehow triggered his general instinct. It was a feeling like hunger.
It felt like he should free himself from the struggle.
Countless blue souls merged into the large shadow of the scorpion; however, it was the same as adding water into an endless hole.
Minutes later, he felt that he lost all his strength.
The four beads vanished into the voice and disappeared. The large scorpion shadow bit the smoking eyeball and swallowed it before disappearing into the air.
The white smoke also disappeared from Angele's face slowly; the color of his eyes returned, but his eyeballs looked like two pure rubies that were as deep as the universe.
The woman in black could barely move under the strong pressure; she could finally move again after the scorpion shadow disappeared. She looked at Angele but almost fainted after staring into his eyes.
"Ah, sorry. I'm still trying to get used to it." Angele blinked his eyes and the strange power disappeared. He handed the red notebook to the woman.
"Thanks for your help, this is a gift."
The woman in black slowly recovered and grabbed the notebook, but she decided not to look Angele in the eyes anymore.
Angele was not sure what happened.
He followed the instruction of the modified Book of Fear and tried to create his refined true form. Angele thought that he would fail since he needed one more bead, but the realm power of the Nightmare Realm helped him. The realm power gathered the strong souls of this realm and sent them into Angele's true form.
Angele almost successfully created his refined true form with the sign created by all those bloodlines. The only thing he needed was the bead of terror and he would be able to recreate the refined true form.
The realm power was endless and Angele felt like he could utilize the power if he wanted. He noticed that his true form was different from Eye Devil's true form. He was blessed by the realm and there was no limitation to his power.
Also, he overheard the conversation of the two white robes.
'So that's how it feels like to be a Dread Lord.'
Angele stepped forward and a translucent staircase was created under his feet. The stairs led him straight to Eye Devil's waist.
"Congratulations, Phoenix, you finally recovered your refined true form," Eye Devil spoke.
"I still need a bit more time to recreate my core, but I'm almost there." Angele smiled. He was not sure how strong he had become, but he was certain that he had passed rank 6.
He looked at Eye Devil's body and could feel that his refined true form had the similar power level as Eye Devil.
Eye Devil was just slightly stronger than him.
Angele knew that the biochip helped him a lot. He purified the ancient bloodline using the chip and his progression was much faster than others'. There was one disadvantage—Angele's power level was increasing so fast that he had no time to learn to control his new power.
'An unknown power is trying to modify the biochip. Do you want to absorb the power? The success rate is 12.54%.' Zero's voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
'Modify the biochip? Why is the success rate so low?' Angele was a bit surprised. 'Yes, absorb the power.'
'System upgrading…'
Angele looked at Eye Devil after giving the order.
Eye Devil started talking again.
"The core should not be a problem. You already recovered the refined true form, right?" She emphasized on "refined true form" for some reason.
"Yeah, will this change anything between us?" Angele was interested, he looked at Eye Devil. His power level was very close to Eye Devil and they were speaking at the same level. Angele felt like he had become one of the lords; however, he had the ability to utilize the realm power.
The eyeball at her waist turned to Angele and stared at him.
"You were always lying. I finally saw the truth when you tried to recover your refined true form." She stopped for a second and continued, "However, no matter how strong you are and who you are, you're already a member of the southland, right?"
"You're right…" Angele recalled the warm and gentle feeling. He knew that the Nightmare Realm had accepted him. The strong bloodlines of the Nightmare Realm eliminated the weak bloodlines of the wizard world and that was the reason why he became a member of the realm.
"We should reintroduce ourselves." Eye Devil chuckled. "I'm the leader of the eye race, Riva Prato."
"I'm Phoenix, Angele Fenrir Rio." Angele thought Eye Devil would try and kill him but it seemed like that would not happen.
The white robes were confused but they did not say anything.
"Lords, if you'll excuse us, we have to leave now." The old man bowed to Eye Devil and Angele.
"Let us know when the abyss is ready. You won't disappoint me, right?" Eye Devil looked at the two white robes.
"We'll try." The white robes bowed again, stepped back, and turned into two ice statues.
*KA*
The two ice statues broke into pieces after the noise. The ice pieces melted and evaporated quickly.
Angele lowered his eyes. "I have something else to take care of and I'll leave the core here. I will absorb some of those souls if you don't mind."
"For sure. You brought me so many souls. Take as many as you want." Eye Devil chuckled again. However, the crisp female voice was coming from a large eyeball and it was a bit weird.
Angele smiled and nodded. He pressed on the center of his chest and disappeared into a ball of flames.
Chapter 476: Refine (3)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
In the Abyss Realm.
In the blurry green mist, there were humongous white bone ships that were slowly flying in the air.
Around the bone ships, there were some small black bats, white banshees, and bone dragons. They looked like ants that were flying out of the ship, charging to the green forest on the ground.
The vibrant forest was endless. There were monsters with spikes all over their bodies fighting the army from the bone ships.
The monsters that looked like giant wolves had black fur and two mouths that were full of sharp teeth. Those strange creatures charged to the bone dragons, bats, skeletons, and zombies like crazy. They could easily tear the undead creatures apart with their mounts.
There were also green monsters that looked like flower buds. They were more than ten meters tall and were releasing green light missiles toward the bone ships.
There were countless light missiles in the air and the surface of the bone ships started melting after the missiles landed on it.
There was also a huge black-red spider on the ground; the spider's head was formed by dozens of human heads. The heads were shouting, laughing, sneering, and crying.
The spider's head looked like a beehive filled with the human heads.
The spider's body was more than 30 meters tall and more than 100 meters long. It was surrounded by a green glow; the skeletons or zombies who were under the glow all turned into piles of black liquid.
"How dare you! Insects, you shall pay for your insolence! You'll never conquer the Abyss Realm!" the spider was shouting. One of the human heads was speaking in the ancient language and the other human heads were speaking other languages.
By the edge of the largest bone ship.
Bone had bone spikes on his back and his body was surrounded by green flames. He was looking at the battlefield quietly.
The battlefield was covered by explosions made by the energy particles. The green light missiles from the flowers and the undead creatures were hitting each other and they looked like two rivers.
A man with golden skin was standing beside Bone, wearing a white cape with a golden helmet on his head.
"The defense power of the Abyss Realm is weaker than I expected…" Bone sounded disappointed.
"Where are the legendary Abyss Lord and the Demon Lord?"
"This is the first level of the abyss. I think the strong beings are at other levels." The man with a cape shrugged.
"I don't visit this realm often and I want to meet the strong beings…" Bone was still disappointed.
"Wait, someone sent me a message." Raising his hand, he quickly created a white skull.
*WOO*
Green flames appeared on the skull.
"This is Phoenix, I'll just leave you a message. Bone, ask Vapor and his people to close all the dimension vortexes and leave the realm. Just leave a channel for the souls to pass. I think the World Tree is in the Abyss Realm." Angele's voice came from the skull.
"Huh?" Bone exchanged eye contact with the man. "What do you think?"
The man shrugged again. "Well, Eye Devil said that Phoenix released some strange things into the realm and she asked us to be careful."
"Strange things?" Bone absorbed the skull and replied, "It doesn't matter. My army is still entering this realm and three of my seven captains are here. I don't think there's anything that we can't handle."
"Same here. The bronze legion is here." The man nodded. "We can just eliminate the World Tree if necessary."
"That vortex probably led him to the Tree Realm." Bone looked at the spider that was slaughtering his army.
With a flick of his finger, part of the finger detached and flew to the spider like an arrow.
The finger part expanded and turned into a long bone snake. The snake made some high-pitched noise and jumped at the spider.
The snake was several hundred meters long and its body cast a giant shadow over the battlefield.
*BOOM*
The two giant creatures hit each other and started fighting. Every time they attacked each other, intense energy waves would be released into the air.
The noise from the fight echoed in the air.
Suddenly, Bone heard noise coming from the forest on the far side. There were black clouds moving toward them.
Bone stood up and looked at the black clouds.
"What's that?"
"I don't know, they look like insects to me." The man with a cape narrowed his eyes and responded, "I guess that's the strange thing Eye Devil talked about, but those insects look weak."
"Ask Captain Mayten to deal with the insects. I think those insects will perish right away in the flames… Wait, what the hell!" Bone noticed that the black clouds were expanding at a fast rate before he finished the sentence. The whole forest was devoured by the insects within minutes.
They regretted that they did not listen to Angele's words.
"They are definitely not the insects I know! How is that even possible?!" Bone was surprised and just stared at the insects.
The man with a cape finally understood the situation and shouted, "Retreat! Ask everyone to retreat!"
The insects were moving toward them from the land and the sky. There were probably billions of insects; also, the insects would devour everything blocking their path. Creatures and plants all turned into the food of the insects.
"Retreat! Retreat! Now!" Bone started shouting like crazy as well. "Leave the low-rank skeleton soldiers here! Make sure all the captains are safe!"
The low-rank skeleton soldiers were not intelligent and Bone could create as many of them as he wanted. However, the captains were important.
"Father… Father…" The black insects formed human faces and started talking in a voice that sounded like a child. "You… smell like my father… I'll consume you…" The human faces kept muttering.
"Consume them…"
"For father…"
Bone and the man with a cape exchanged eye contact.
"Let me handle this." Bone stepped forward.
He created a flaming skull on palm and cracked it.
"West!" he shouted at another bone ship.
"No worries. Let me take of them!" A handsome man with a slim body flew out of the bone ship. He was wearing a white swordsman suit and there was a serious expression on his face.
The man charged toward the insects and his body suddenly expanded like a balloon.
Countless blisters appeared on his skin, face, and head. The blisters were getting larger and larger.
Seconds later, the man turned into a humongous monster with blisters that varied in size all over his body. The blisters almost looked like a bunch of grapes.
The creatures from the abyss and the Nightmare Realm all started retreating. They were moving to the safe area at full speed.
They all knew that they would not stand a chance against the insects.
The blisters on the monster were reaching their limit as their length increased to more than one thousand meters.
*PA*
One of the blisters exploded and released a lot of sticky yellow liquid, splashing on the clouds formed by the black insects.
*PA PA PA*
The blisters exploded one by one and the sticky liquid all dropped toward the insects.
The insects melted in the yellow sticky liquid and fell to the ground.
A naked man appeared behind the blister monster. It was the man that was in a white swordsman suit.
"Damn, I hate my ugly ability, but I had to do it." The man white swordsman suit appeared on his naked body again, he turned around and flew back to the bone ship.
The army quickly entered the vortex in the sky. Bone, the man with a cape, and the largest bone ship were protecting the escaping route.
"Damn! Phoenix, what have you done…" Bone watched the creatures of the abyss and the white skeleton soldiers who were left behind being devoured by the insects. Some of the skeleton soldiers even had strengthened bones.
The flower bud that was releasing green missiles had slow speed and it was killed by the insects within seconds. Its large dead body exploded and turned into more insects.
"Those insects… are familiar… They're releasing energy wave similar to the ancient reproduction flowers…" the man with a cape spoke in a deep tone. "Where did Phoenix find this thing? The reproduction flowers became extinct millions of years ago. It's nearly impossible to recover the bloodline."
"Reproduction flowers? Seriously?" Bone's expression changed.
"Reproduction flowers devoured numerous realms until they were trapped in a random ream. They killed each other because of hunger and finally went extinct."
"Yeah, the bloodline is definitely from the reproduction flowers, but it was mixed with other random bloodlines… Phoenix probably found a bloodline of an ancient creature that inherited part of the reproduction flower's bloodline. I think he already knew the consequences before releasing the insects." The man with a cape nodded.
He stopped for a second and continued, "The insects created by the reproduction flowers are weak, but there are so many of them and you have to eliminate all of them. They can easily reproduce as long as they have food to eat. Also, those insects have high magic resistance and have to be killed by physical attacks. We can retreat for now and they'll die if they have nothing else to eat."
Minutes later, the bone ships and the army all flew into the large vortex.
"Retreat, everyone. Listen to my order. Seal the dimension vortex, but keep the soul tunnel. Also, notify Vapor and ask him to retreat as well!" Bone gave the order. The insects were temporarily stopped by the blisters but there were not many blisters left.
The bone snake in the air shrank and turned into a small part of a finger. The finger part returned to Bone quickly.
Chapter 477: Refine (4)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Finally, all of the army in the area retreated and the creatures of abyss were no longer on the land. Bone and his bone ship were still in the sky.
He waved his hand slightly.
The large bone ship slowly took him into the dimension vortex and disappeared.
After the ship completely disappeared into the vortex.
*BOOM*
The large red vortex exploded into countless red clouds that spread to the green sky. The red light illuminated the whole sky.
The large blister monster was finally finished off by the insects.
The insects moved to the battlefield and devoured everything in their sight.
There were so many insects that they looked like an endless black sea.
********************************
Translucent red souls appeared in the dark red sky. They were mixed with the translucent blue souls.
On the dark-red plain. There was an empty area by the tree house. Angele, wearing a red leather armor, was watering the plants.
He was not just watering the plants, he was also getting used to the new power and waiting for the biochip to finish upgrading.
There was a green root in the mud; the leaves on the root shook slightly and twisted around in the clean water. It looked like a child that was taking a bath.
Angele lowered his bronze kettle and rubbed the surface of the leaves.
*CHI*
The root started spinning after some strange noise and turned into a green mouth, biting Angele's finger.
*CHI*
It was a mouth that was full of sharp white teeth and it sounded like that Angele's finger was being sawed.
Saliva was dripping down the green mouth and white smoke rose from the land after it dropped down.
There was a gentle smile on Angele's face and he slowly pulled his finger out of the green mouth.
'It's definitely not a random plant…' He recalled that the woman was extremely careful when handling the seed of the plant. 'Maybe that's one of the reasons why she was sealed…'
He heard something beeping after he put down the kettle.
'Biochip upgrade completed. Calculation ability greatly increased. Storage increased. Analysis ability increased.'
Angele raised his head and looked at the huge pyramid.
'Great, now the upgrade is completed, I should go back…' He pressed on the chest and released some white energy waves.
*CHI*
Red light flashed in front of Angele's eyes and he noticed that it felt like he was falling down.
Angele's sight blurred, he was teleported to a tunnel with red walls. He felt like that he was in the colon of a creature. He was still falling. He could not hear anything and it felt like the air was flowing in the tunnel.
'Where is this place?' He glanced around, looking confused. The place was dark and endless. He felt that he was falling into the abyss.
'I should be teleported back to the wizard world.' Angele's brow furrowed.
Angele created a strong force field and the force field stopped him from falling. He floated in the air without any problem.
It was a narrow tunnel and could barely fit one person. Angele could easily reach the red walls.
He touched the wall; it was soft but steady.
'What's going on…' Angele looked around, he was still confused.
He put his hand on the chest again.
*CHI*
Red light flashed but nothing happened.
'Wait… This might be the realm tunnel, the fissure between the realms.' He recalled the information he acquired from Eye Devil.
If he failed during the teleportation, there was a large chance that he would be sent to the realm channel. Time was stopped in the tunnel and the longer he stayed here, the faster his life expectancy would decrease.
There was only one way to break through the tunnel…
Angele checked the information and narrowed his eyes.
Raising his hand slowly, he put the hand on the surface of the wall.
Intense red light was released from Angele's eyes as he chanted the incantation.
"Dimension Coordinate. Locate!" Angele shouted in the ancient language and hit the wall hard.
His whole body broke into the elastic wall.
The wall turned thinner and thinner. The wall was almost translucent and Angele could see the scene outside. It was an empty golden desert.
****************************
The wizard world. In a desert beside the Molten Core River.
Under the intense sunlight, a dimension portal appeared by a golden sand hill.
The dimension portal was blocked by a thin layer of some strange substance and there was a man trying to break through it. It seemed like the man was trapped in the portal.
Seconds later, the man made visible progress. The dimension portal was cracked and red light spurted out of the cracks.
*BAM*
Countless black clouds suddenly covered the sky.
*Rumble*
After lightning and thunder, a large spinning vortex appeared above the desert.
*Rumble*
The lightning landed on the ground, hitting the dimension portal.
"No!" the man was roaring like a dragon. He was stopped by the lightning which was trying to push him back.
"No!" A large scorpion shadow appeared behind the man. The scorpion was struggling against the unending lightning.
"You can't stop me! You can't!" the man kept shouting.
*Crack*
A large dimension fissure appeared in the air, revealing Angele's face. His face was covered with green veins, his expression was terrifying.
The endless realm power was pressuring him hard. He was pushed back by an invisible force.
*CHI*
Red light flashed in the air and everything returned to normal. The black clouds disappeared, the dimension fissure vanished into the air, and it felt like nothing happened.
The peace returned to the golden desert.
****************************
Three days later…
In a vibrant forest down the large snow mountain.
There were several dead bodies of apprentices lying on the ground.
Angele pulled a black robe down one of the bodies. He glanced at the dead bodies and put on the black robe quickly.
Those apprentices were trying to rob the weak apprentices passing by; however, the first person they met was Angele and they were eliminated within seconds.
He used the power of the refined true form and finally made it back to the wizard world. The realm power was still pressuring him constantly and he could barely breathe.
After he created the refined true form, his stamina was greatly increased, and he could use the energy particles to circle the air in his body—otherwise, he would already be dead.
'It's understandable that I can't teleport back to this world. I'm now a confirmed resident of the Nightmare Realm and the realm power is no joke.' Angele arranged his robe and walked to the snow mountain.
He still could not activate the true form or the refined true form and his power level was lowered again. In other words, the situation got worse for him.
Angele was still a rank 3 wizard; although his stamina was increased, his body was weakened under the realm pressure.
The attack from people who considered him as an enemy would be buffed by the realm power.
'I'll be able to unleash my true power after the Nightmare Realm is connected to the wizard world…' Angele was certain that he would be able to do whatever he wanted after the connection was established.
'I should check the current situation. I spent a whole day in the Nightmare Realm. I wonder if the elder council already finished their meeting.' Angele casted the Elemental Teleportation and teleported to the snow mountain.
He walked up the mountain and arrived at the top of the mountain several minutes later.
There were several red robes building something by the edge of the volcano. They noticed Angele's presence and walked to him quickly.
"Master Green, we're from the academic tower and we'll be building a tactical rune circle here. We're sorry if we interrupted you," one of the wizards explained politely. "The elders decided that all the important locations will be guarded by defensive rune circles since we don't know where the enemies will come from."
"I understand." Angele nodded and glanced at the platform. "Do what you have to. I'll take a walk around."
"Yes, Master." The wizards turned around and started building the circle again.
Angele walked to the other side.
Raising his right hand, some white smoke appeared on the tip of his finger; there was a head of a dragon roaring in the smoke.
'The breath of the eye-gouging dragon can no longer stop me…' Angele nodded.
'With the refined true form, I can get rid of the frost damage easily. Also, the spirit in the breath is only about one thousand years old…' He recalled the day the old dragon gave him the dragon sigil.
'I should probably explore the underground world after everything is prepared. I need to find an inheritor of the dragon so that the dragon sigil can be utilized. It's a gift from the old dragon after all.' Angele absorbed the frost damage and walked to the edge of the cliff.
He overlooked the elder council.
A straight ray of light was released from the center of the elder council. The dark ray struck into the clouds; it looked like a long gray bat.
The upper part of the ray was surrounded by some red light dots and the ray was surrounded by several black robes. It seemed like they were having a discussion.
Chapter 478: The War (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Angele stood by the cliff and looked at the ray quietly.
"Master, it's almost done. What… are you looking at?" A young girl's voice came from behind.
Angele turned his head around and saw a young girl with clean skin standing behind him. The girl had long black hair and there was a bronze armor under her black robe.
"Did the elder council set up that ray of light?" Angele responded in a light voice.
"Yeah, that's the Elemental Light and it helps to buff the signal towers. Also, the ray could identify the creatures who are not members of our organization," the girl explained. "The elders are still trying to figure out a complete defensive plan."
"You know a lot." Angele turned his head back and looked at the far side again.
"I work for the intelligence department of the organization, that's' why I know a bit more."
The girl straightened her back slightly but she noticed that the man was no longer interested in her and her brow furrowed.
"Alright, you can go back now," Angele spoke calmly. "Focus on your job. Don't waste your time on random things."
The smile disappeared from the girl's face. She hesitated for a second and bowed to Angele. The girl did not say anything else, she turned around and returned to the rune circle.
Angele shook his head and smiled.
He knew that Vivian was trying to help him get married but he did not expect the girl to just approach him like that.
The girl was a wizard. He was certain that the girl was confident in her power level and appearance.
The girl was a rank 1 wizard and she made herself look like a naive girl. She thought Angele preferred girls like that. Angele could have fun with her but he did not want to marry a girl like that.
Most of the female wizards would have intercourse with anyone they liked and Angele had no intention to marry such a female wizard. Things would get complicated if he failed to make a wise decision.
A purple glow suddenly appeared on Angele's finger.
Raising his left hand, he rubbed the purple ring on his finger. The new information collected by Dark Wizard Tower was transferred to him.
'Elephant Legion is ready.'
'Modified Beast Legion is ready.'
'Puppet Knight Legion and Wood Dragon Legion are ready.'
The voices kept echoing in his ears. They sounded deep, cold, and serious.
'The Dimensional Gate and the energy are both prepared. We're awaiting your order.'
'Intel system has been blocked.'
"Purple Eye, how's your situation?" The Count's voice came from the ring.
With a flick of his finger, Angele created a thin red barrier that blocked all the sound.
"I'm ready to join the battle but I heard that the Duke prepared a special team and they already entered the battlefield, right?"
"You're right. It's a secret mission and they entered the realm several days ago. The result will be out soon," the Count confirmed. "The Duke sent three captains here. You and I are in charge of the Tarry River area and the Molten River area. The central area is controlled by two of the captains and the other one is in charge of dealing with emergencies."
"Who was the Grand Lich the Duke talked about?" Angele lowered his voice.
"The Grand Lich is one of the five most important members in the Dark Wizard Tower. The Duke is the fourth most important member. Alright, we don't need to worry about those things, let's just focus on our plan. Here is a code that you'll need when you contact the captains. The public message system will be turned off soon…" A long incantation came from the ring after the Count finished the word. There were more than 100 runes in the incantation.
Angele recorded the code using the biochip. He did not want to memorize it by himself.
"We just need to wait for the order. That's what the Duke told me."
"I understand."
Angele rubbed the surface of the ring and stopped on the cliff without saying a word.
Minutes later, he turned around and walked to the ruin.
Before he reached the volcano, a quick message from the ring stopped him from moving.
'The assassination succeeded and we've confirmed that the Shadow Lord was eliminated. Please start the next step now.'
'The Shadow Lord?!' Angele was surprised and confused.
'Open the Dimension Gate! Legions, prepare for the teleportation! Purple Eye and Count Wheat, wait for my order,' the Duke ordered. 'Special team, teleport now!"
The earth started shaking and there was something vibrating in the air.
Angele suddenly turned his head around and looked at the sky.
Tiny yellow dots slowly appeared in the white sky.
The tiny dots expanded like balloons. They looked like yellow toy bears, they were furry and cute. The toy bears blinked their eyes, smiling.
The toy bears were getting larger and larger. It felt like their bodies were full of air and they were rotating in the strong wind.
Angele noticed that the toy bears had sharp claws and there was a hint of blood on them.
The floating toy bears looked innocent with their cute appearance but Angele could smell the blood in the air.
Angele checked the information he acquired from the Dark Wizard Tower and recalled the name of the special operation team.
'Alice's Toy Box… What a surprise…' Angele's expression turned serious as he looked at the toy bears in the sky.
Large groups of yellow toy bears moved to the Elemental Hand. At first, there were only about ten bears, but more and more toy bears appeared. They almost covered the whole sky.
It felt like the place turned into a wonderland.
*WOO WOO*
The intense alarm echoed in the sky above the Elemental Head.
Groups of white owls and eagles appeared on an empty ground in the forest. The wizards and apprentices jumped on the flying mounts one by one.
"Hurry! Move!" The wizards were shouting.
The flying mounts charged toward the toy bears. Colorful energy barriers appeared around their bodies and they looked like colorful bubbles that were floating in the sky.
The whole scene looked like it was from a fairy tale.
A large airship that looked like an air balloon also appeared in the sky. The elders and the important members of the Elemental Hand were all on the ship—including Vivian; they were staring at the battlefield in the sky.
Angele looked at Vivian, he knew how strong the Alice's Toy Box was. He wanted to make sure that Elemental Hand would treat the war seriously, because the Dark Wizard Tower was so strong that the Elemental Hand had no way to fight back. The war just started and the Elemental Hand would have to face the terrifying situation and suffer a loss. If Angele used his right and brought peace to the Elemental Hand, the members of Elemental Head would not understand how cruel the realm war was.
The wizards and apprentices who were building the rune circle quickly walked to the cliff, staring at the sky.
"What are those toy bears…?"
"Is it the alliance again? We just signed the agreement! Those bears might be their secret weapon," a male wizard spoke.
Angele pressed on the purple ring and sent a message.
"I noticed that the Alice's Toy Box is attacking the Elemental Hand. Who's the commander?"
Angele sent the message in the public channel; the legion commanders probably disabled the public channel, but the team commanders could still access it.
Seconds later, a voice that sounded like a child replied. Angele was not sure if it was a boy or a girl.
"I'm Brandy and I'm the commander of the toy box. The soldiers are released and there's nothing I can do now."
"When will they return to you?" Angele went straight to the point.
"Hmm… I'm not sure… Ha… Bring them more food and they'll come back to me after they're filled up," Brandy spoke in a high-pitched tone.
"Filled up? What do you mean?" Angele narrowed his eyes.
He noticed that one of the toy bears already had the size of ten white owls. It looked an adult standing beside a lot of children when compared to the wizards.
The bear grabbed a large owl and threw it into the mouth along with the wizard. The wizard and the owl were bitten in half.
Their blood and organs dropped to the ground. Angele watched a broken arm rolling on the grass.
The energy barriers around the wizards' bodies were like soap bubbles. They could not handle the damage.
*CHI*
The stomach of the toy bear cracked. The black robe who was swallowed by the bear was still alive, he slashed the bear's stomach open and tried to escape. An intense purple glow coated the wizard's body and his wounds were recovering fast. It seemed like the wizard had already activated his trump card.
The bear lowered its head and looked at its broken stomach. The bear slowly slapped the opening using its right claw.
*PA*
The wizard was slapped back into the stomach and the opening quickly disappeared. At that moment, several large light missiles hit the toy bear's head.
*BOOM*
The toy bear exploded and broke into pieces. The cotton, clothes, dried organs, and dried flesh in the bear's body were soaked in blood. It felt like blood was raining down the sky. The black robe inside the bear was killed by the explosion.
The wizards on the backs of the owls passed by and charged to the next toy bear.
Angele stood on the cliff and his expression turned serious as he watched the sky turn into a bloody battlefield.
Chapter 479: The War (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
The wizards in the sky were from the elite army of the Elemental Hand. However, they could not handle the pure power of the Alice's Toy Box.
The wizards sacrificed their lives and eliminated some of the toy bears. The toy bears had high resistance and normal spells would not do any damage to them. Also, they could recover after consuming the wizards' flesh.
"I think I already submitted my plan regarding the Elemental Hand." Angele sent another message in the public channel.
"Before the Empire takes control of the land, we need to get rid of any possible threat." Brandy chuckled. He sounded like a mentally unstable person.
Angele stopped talking. He knew that there was nothing he could do at the moment. The Dark Wizard Tower wanted to weaken the Elemental Hand during the war.
However, it might not be a bad thing—if the Elemental Hand was the only organization that was not weakened during the war, it might be attacked by other local organizations.
Angele submitted a plan to the Dark Wizard Tower and said that Elemental Hand would be helping the Dark Wizard Tower during the war. If the Elemental Hand was attacked by the other local organizations, the organization would seek the Dark Wizard Tower's help, and Angele had the right to help the Elemental Hand become part of the Dark Wizard Tower.
However, the Dark Wizard Tower rejected his plan as they wanted to make sure all the possible threats were eliminated or weakened.
'It'll become a full-scale war and the elders will have to fight back…' Angele was worried. He looked at the black airship.
A male Energy Master already left the ship and flew to the toy bears. There were four silver gear around his body. The gear was spinning like crazy and it was noisy.
The Energy Master pointed at the toy bears, the gear left his body and soared in the air.
The gear turned larger and larger. Each of the gear had a diameter of more than 30 meters when they approached the toy bears.
*CHI CHI CHI*
The gear charged to the toy bears at full speed.
"Brandy! Brandy!" A strange voice echoed in the sky.
A black toy bear left the other toy bears and blocked the gear.
*CHI*
The noisy metal noise mixed in the noise that sounded like clothes being torn apart. The four gear were attacking the black toy bear like there was a magnet in it.
Large amount of cotton was pulled out of the black toy bear's stomach.
Strangely, the cotton was endless. It was everywhere in the sky and nothing could stop it from leaving the black bear's stomach.
The wizards and the toy bears all moved away from the cotton.
The Soul Master raised his right hand and ignited all the white cotton. A rotating silver mirror appeared above the man's head—something red was released from the mirror and charged at the toy bear.
Angele stood there and watched the battle. The energy wave released by the black bear was identical to the energy wave released by Brandy. It seemed like Brandy was controlling the bear directly.
The other important member of the Elemental Hand started moving after the Soul Master was busy dealing with Brandy's bear and stopped the situation from getting worse.
Red light and yellow light exploded in the sky. The wizards summoned strange beasts and strong shadows. They could finally fight back.
*PA*
Suddenly, Angele heard a strange noise that sounded like a pumping heart.
Angele's heart started racing as well. A pair of large silver scissors suddenly appeared in front of him, trying to cut his neck.
*KA*
The scissors started moving.
Angele snorted and grabbed the blades using his hands. He applied some force on the blades and blocked the attack easily.
*PA*
He tore the large scissors apart and dropped it to the ground.
He noticed that the other wizards around him were also attacked by the scissors.
There were five wizards and four apprentices around him. The wizards all destroyed the scissors using spells, however, the four apprentices failed to dodge the attack and their heads were cut off.
*BOOM BOOM*
Two more pairs of scissors were destroyed by the wizards.
Angele realized that the black bear was holding a pair of humongous silver scissors in hands, trying to attack the Energy Master using them. The scissors that attacked Angele and the other wizards were also from the large scissors. The red thing released by the Soul Master was also eliminated by the scissors, it was slowly disappearing into the air.
The area attack released by the bear had an incredible range and Angele was not sure how strong Brandy was.
"No, we can't stay here anymore. We need to find somewhere safe and hide!" an old wizard said, he was exhaling heavily.
"Let's move now! The elders will protect us! The spells cast by the enemies are terrifying!" Another male wizard was sweating heavily, he activated some enchanted items and created several barriers.
"Master, please leave with us!" The wizards tried to convince Angele to leave.
"You can leave now. I'm staying." Angele waved his hand. "The attacks were nothing too me. Your rank is too low and you should stay in the ruin."
The wizards were waiting for Angele's words. They wanted to retreat after seeing the toy bears in the air, however, they did not want to leave Angele since he was the son of an elder. Things changed after the apprentices were killed and they decided to find an excuse and leave.
"Alright, we'll be leaving now. Let's enter the ruin!" The old wizard started running to the ruin first and the others followed after him.
The girl that talked to Angele bit her lips and stepped forward. "I'll stay with the master!"
"Aylin, you're crazy!" a male wizard shouted.
"I'm not! You can leave if you want to!" Aylin's expression was serious and she walked to Angele.
Angele glanced at the girl but did not say anything. He looked at the sky again and it seemed like he was not concerned.
The male wizard bit his lips and there was a strange expression on his face. He glanced at the dead bodies on the ground, turned around, and rushed to the entrance of the ruin.
"Don't you fear the enemies? This is the top of the mountain. We can see the enemies and they can see us too," Angele spoke in a low voice.
"I'm just pursuing my goal!" the girl responded quickly.
"It's highly unlikely that you'll get anything by risking your own life," Angele replied.
"It's my own choice."
*BAM*
A black cloud appeared in the air.
The white cotton turned into an enormous black toy bear in the center of the dark cloud and the black toy bear was more than one hundred meters tall. The bear floated above the forest and it tried to grab the black ray prepared by the Elemental Hand.
The black bear had a pair of scissors in its hands and was chuckling. The bear was almost translucent in the air for some reason.
The Energy Master failed to block the next strike and lost a hand. He quickly retreated to the airship.
Three people flew out of the airship and passed by the Energy Master—they charged at the large bear immediately.
The large bear raised its claws and tried to slap the three who were approaching.
One of the three drew his scimitar and dodged the claws. He stabbed the scimitar into the bear's arms and slashed them open.
The other two people dodged the scissors easily and created two balls of black light on their palms, aiming at the bear's head.
*CHI CHI*
Two black rays struck the bear's ears hard.
The man with a scimitar jumped forward and stopped in front of the bear's face. He raised the scimitar into the air and the blade quickly expanded, turning into a large silver tornado that connected to the clouds in the sky.
"Now!" the man shouted.
The tornado started falling.
*BAM*
The two other wizards released a large translucent light screen at the same time, which stopped the black bear from moving.
Silver light flashed in the air and everyone was blinded.
Angele could finally see things again several seconds later.
The three wizards gathered together and cheered before heading back to the airship.
The large bear had completely disappeared along with the yellow bears around it.
Angele's expression was still serious.
"Brandy? You still alive?" He sent a message through the public channel.
"Don't worry… I'm just playing with them…" Brandy replied quickly.
*CHI CHI CHI*
After the noise, the three wizards were cut into pieces by three pairs of scissors that came out of nowhere before they could reach the airship.
The elders joined the battle after the three wizards were severely injured.
A large translucent hand suddenly moved to a random area in the sky.
The hand gripped hard.
*Crack*
The shadow of the black bear appeared in the sky. It was holding a pair of silver scissors in hand and it was destroyed by the translucent hand.
The Second Elder's face turned pale and he spat out some blood.
Another translucent hand appeared in the sky and collected the body parts of the three wizards.
Angele looked at the airship and noticed that the elders' expressions turned serious.
'This is only the beginning…' Angele sighed in mind and he knew that everything had already ended.
The elders had to cast spells to stop a commander of a special operation team and they did not even win the battle easily. When the legion commanders arrived, the elders would not stand a chance.
The battle lasted for about half an hour and the special operation team had reached their goal.
Eighty percent of the Elemental Hand's elite team was killed. An Energy Master lost one of his arms and the three wizards that attacked the bear were severely injured because they underestimated the enemy. Angele doubted if they were still alive.
The Wood Legion could safely enter the dimension gate after the battle concluded.
"Let's go. We need to go to the headquarters now." Angele turned around and walked down the snow mountain.
The girl beside him hesitated for a second and followed after him.
Chapter 480: Test (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Angele and the girl arrived at the headquarters quickly.
At the parking lot by the entrance, the black eagles and white owls were landing. The elder council was crowded due to the situation.
Teams of Knights and apprentices were entering or leaving the gate. There were several messengers and supervisors writing something by the gate.
"You! Take your team to the Green Forest Tower."
"Farak, have you delivered the items?"
"Hurry! Move! Move!"
The messengers and the supervisors were giving the orders in loud voices.
A middle-aged male supervisor felt relieved after he noticed Angele was present. He tapped the shoulder of the patrol team captain and asked the captain to leave.
"Green, it's great you're here. Your mother is looking for you and we can't contact you through communication runes for some reason. The telescope and the crystal orb are also not working. Elder Vivian asked you to go to the elder's room, she wants to make sure that you're not wandering around outside."
"I understand." Angele nodded. "Are you guys trying to inform the cities? I know that the communication runes are not working."
The communication rune was the basic method for the wizards to communicate with each other. Although it was slow and unstable, it was still a safe way to send important messages.
"Yeah. No one's communication rune works. They blocked the runes completely." Angele had met the supervisor once during the party and they knew each other. "You can give it a try if you want to."
Angele's brow furrowed. He lowered his head and checked his nails. None of the communication runes was flashing but the purple ring could still be used to contact members of the Dark Wizard Tower.
He glanced at the girl and noticed that she was worried about something.
"I'll go see my mother now."
"Sure."
The supervisor started working again after finishing speaking. He was sending the soldiers to different areas.
The place was crowded and noisy. The noise made by the flying mounts, the supervisors, and the intense footsteps were echoing in the air.
Angele joined the crowd and stepped into the gate. He walked up the hill and turned several times by the corners. He arrived at a relatively quiet hallway several seconds later.
An arched door by the end of the hall was half-open.
Angele glanced at the woman and opened his mouth. "Wait here."
The girl bit her lips and stopped, but did not say anything.
Angele stepped forward and turned his head around. "You should go find your family members. Tell me your name."
The girl heard the question and quickly responded, "Gilnokki." She sounded a bit excited.
"Leave now." Angele turned his head back and pushed the door open.
It was an average-sized room and most of the decorations were red. The room looked just like a room in the ruin. Vivian was resting on a sofa with her eyes closed. Her long blonde hair reflected under the light.
Files that were waiting for her signature piled up on the desk in front of the sofa.
"Green, are you alright?" Vivian stood up as she saw Angele; she was worried.
"I had no way to contact you and I was worried. I already sent a team to search for you. I didn't know you were at the headquarters."
"Don't worry. Have some rest. I'll be here." Angele sat down by Vivian. There was a gentle expression on his face.
Vivian nodded and sat down. She was rubbing her temples.
"There are too many things waiting for me to deal with. I'll take a nap now. Can you handle those files for me? Just stamp them…" She laid on the sofa, closed her eyes, and fell asleep again.
"No problem." Angele smiled. "I haven't worked for you in a while."
He grabbed a file.
The gentle yellow light from the crystal lamps on the walls coated the leather paper with a gentle yellow glow.
*PA*
Angele checked the content and stamped the file. It would take one second for him to understand the content.
He had the biochip helping him and he could basically think like the biochip but in a slower way. Angele could figure out if the file was important or not after a glance.
He could think much faster than other wizards or creatures, even the monster with eight eyes could not read as fast as him.
*PA PA*
The files were being stamped one by one. The files were activated after being stamped and they would disappear into the air. It was a special method used by the organization and the messengers would be able to receive the files right after they were activated.
Although most of the communications were blocked, the files could still travel a short distance within the organization.
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes and it almost looked like the files were flying from his left hand to the right hand, however, there were so many files that he only finished half of them in ten minutes.
Suddenly, he paused for a second as he felt the warmth coming from his left shoulder.
Angele smiled and looked at Vivian who was taking a nap at his shoulder. The woman was relaxed when her son was around. Vivian was an elder with strong power in the organization but Angele could see the saliva dripping down her chin.
He slightly moved his body so Vivian could slide into his arms and have an easier time sleeping. Angele rubbed her long hear and his sight fell upon the purple ring on his left hand.
He looked at the ring for a while and a strange look appeared on his face.
Angele stopped thinking and started handling the files again.
****************************
Vivian slowly woke up from the sweet dream after a while. She was lying the sofa with a black robe covering her body, but Angele was nowhere to be found.
She straightened her back and looked at the desk; she was still a bit dizzy, but she noticed that Angele stamped more than one thousand files while she was sleeping.
Rubbing her temples, Vivian muttered, "How long did I sleep for…?"
She grabbed a file and noticed that Angele had already stamped it.
The files were written using a special code and they were hard to understand. There were three different stamps, used for different contents. Stamping files sounded like an easy job but it would cost Angele a lot of time.
It would take the wizards in the intelligent department couple days to handle around one thousand files.
"Wait… the ink is still wet��"
She started checking the files and was surprised. Vivian's eyes were wide open after she finished checking all the files.
"How is that even possible… He stamped all the files!"
Suddenly, she remembered something.
"Don't tell me he used the same stamp for all the files! Damn!" She quickly went through the stamps.
Several minutes later, Vivian found something that was hard to believe.
"What a surprise! This kid…" She was a bit speechless. "Where did he learn all this?"
Vivian checked all the stamps and she still had no idea how Angele managed to complete all the files in such a short duration.
She put down the files in her hands. Vivian looked happy and surprised at the same time.
"Well, it seems like bringing me troubles is not the only thing he does…"
***********************************
In a quiet room in the headquarters.
Angele sat in the center of the room with his legs crossed and there were white light dots rotating around his body.
"I need some private time. Seal the area for me."
"Sure," a female voice responded. "The area will be sealed for three days."
"Sure, let me know if there's an emergency." Angele slowly closed his eyes.
"Yes, Master," the same female voice replied.
***
In the forest outside the Elemental Hand.
A ball of red flames appeared behind a tall tree on the vibrant grass.
The red flames quickly turned into a human being. It was Angele who was surrounded by some red light.
Angele, who was wearing a long red robe, looked at the headquarters of the Elemental Hand.
'The energy will support this shadow form for three days, but I'll need more time if I want to go to the central area. I probably have to rely on the teleportation.'
He looked at his translucent body and noticed that the purple ring was glowing on his left hand.
'I hope everything will go according to my plan.'
*WOO*
He disappeared into a ball of red flames again.
************************************
The central area.
The Anfaria Wizard High Council.
The clouds were illuminated by the light from the setting sun and blocked half of the sky.
The Central City looked like a large black pancake on the ground. The city was divided into two areas by a long clean river.
The city was on top of a mountain, surrounded by cliffs. It looked like a city built on a wide stone pillar.
The river in the center of the city was endless. It was running down the edges of the city, falling down the cliffs, and turning into water pools that varied in size.
There were several small forests in the city. A translucent red shadow appeared in one of the forests, turning into a human being.
The man had long dark-red hair and a muscular body. His average-looking face was a bit mysterious. It was Angele's shadow who just teleported to the city from the Tarry River area.
Angele sealed the room because he needed to focus on controlling his shadow form and he would not be able to control his physical form at the same time.
The shadow form had the same power level as a rank 1 wizard and it could be easily killed.
It was created using pure energy, but it could still be teleported to areas with portals built by the Dark Wizard Tower.
Chapter 481: Test (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Angele's sight blurred after he recreated his shadow.
"Are you alright? This area is also blocked and you'll need some time before you can get used to the shadow teleportation." A male voice came from the front.
Angele shook his head and raised his head. Everything in his sight was ghosting.
A middle-aged man in a gray robe was standing in front of him. The man's face was yellow and he was staring at Angele; however, in Angele's sight, it looked like the man had two heads.
The voice also sounded like it was from the far side.
"I'm fine. I'll get used to it soon. My body structure was slightly unstable," Angele responded in a low voice.
The man with two heads nodded. "Alright… I'll… You can… I…"
The man's voice could barely be interpreted due to the communication block.
"Sure, go ahead," Angele responded after guessing what the man said.
'I hate the communication block. I'll never send my shadow form to areas like this again…' He shook his head again but his sight was still blurred.
The man bowed to Angele, turned around, and left the forest.
After about half an hour, Angele finally stabilized his shadow form with the help of the biochip. However, his shadow was weakened again, and his mentality level was the same as a rank 3 apprentice.
Angele stepped out of the forest and stopped by a wide river. There was a small island in the center of the river, covered with red buildings.
The buildings all had round ceilings that were covered with stripes. They looked like buildings with umbrellas on the top; there was yellow light coming out of the windows.
Most of the buildings were red, some were yellow, and the rest was gray. There were children running around on the narrow paths between the buildings.
Several old wizards were playing chess by the river, all wearing long white robes.
Angele walked to the river and glanced around. There was a small forest on the right side and there was a stone staircase on the left.
He walked to the stone staircase and the scene behind the river was revealed as he changed his position.
On the other side of the river, a large building that looked like a tent caught his eyes.
The tent was painted red, yellow, and gray. There was a window that looked like a fan on the surface of the tent which looked like a religious symbol. The engravings on the window were complicated and mysterious.
The window was connected to a large door and there were two yellow torches on both sides of the door.
The man that left the forest first appeared and explained, "That's the Anfaria Wizard High Council. The wizard lords and the representatives from different areas used to have meetings there."
"Please follow me, Master. Master Alice is in charge of your application, but she's having a meeting right now."
"Where's the general supervisor? I thought the city controlled by the Shadow Lord had already become one of our bases." Angele's brow furrowed.
"The high council is still here and we won't tell the public that we have already taken control of the city. Also, Master Alice is now the Shadow Lord."
They talked to each other through energy particles.
Angele nodded and looked at the enormous building.
"I heard the wizard lords all have their own councils and they take turns to hold the meetings. I wonder if I'll be able to see the other councils."
"Soon you will." The man smiled and stopped talking. He turned around and started walking.
Angele smiled as well and followed after the man.
He felt like he was treated differently after the war started.
Angele could only use the ring to contact Turin and Lela who were still working for him. He could no longer contact the important members of the organization, including Victoria, it seemed like he decided to serve someone else. Also, his clearance level for the intel center was lowered.
Turin was still talking to him politely and Lela's attitude never changed, but Angele was not sure what they were planning.
He followed the man upstairs and arrived at a street by the river. The street was empty, only a team of guards in red armor was patrolling the area and their footsteps were extremely loud.
"This way please." The man entered a small path and stopped by a tiny side door.
"Please enter the door. I'll be waiting outside." The man had a blank expression on the face, however, Angele noticed that the man was anxious.
Angele nodded but did not say anything else. He pushed the wooden door open.
*Creek*
The red wooden door opened slowly.
Inside, it was a dark room. There was a lighted candle on the table by the corner. The flame shook slightly as the door opened.
"This is Purple Eye. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Master Alice," Angele spoke in a low voice.
The room was silent and no one responded.
Angele's brow furrowed and he decided to repeat the sentence.
However, no one responded. He waited several minutes and decided to repeat the sentence again.
"This is Purple Eye, I'm sorry to—"
"You're from Tarry River, right? Do you like my bear?" A girl's voice came from the other corner of the room and stopped Angele from finishing his sentence.
Angele finally noticed that there was another table in a dark corner and a wooden puppet was standing by the table. It seemed like he was interrupted by a special force field so he failed to detect the puppet.
The wooden puppet was wearing a white dress and it was doing something on the table.
Strangely, the wooden puppet had no head and was about one meter tall.
Angele glanced at the table.
The headless wooden puppet was cutting its own head.
The puppet cut the skin open and removed the top of the skull. The head looked just like a head of a human and Angele could see the brain. The blood that dripped down the table stank.
The puppet hand was complicated and beautiful. The puppet was slowly ripping the white brain apart.
"Bear?" Angele wondered. "You mean Brandy?"
The wooden puppet stopped moving and grabbed the puppet head. The eyes of the head were facing Angele. The puppet head looked just like a girl's head.
Clean skin, long blonde hair, and clear blue eyes. The eyes were still blinking. If the head wasn't soaked in blood, the scene would be much better.
"So, you've already seen my bear. Why are you here then? As you can see, I'm busy. If you have any request, you'll have to do me a favor first."
"I just want to ask you a question. How will you handle the Elemental Hand? That's the organization that I'm working for," Angele questioned.
"Hmm…" The wooden puppet held its head in hand and started stirring the brain. "Let me think…"
The noise made by the brain that was being stirred was a bit disturbing.
"Huh… You don't need to worry about it. You signed the contract and the organization will not break the promise," Alice responded after she thought for a while. "Alright, now I've answered your question. You need to do me a favor."
Angele narrowed his eyes and was about to say something else.
"Bill," Alice suddenly shouted.
*CHI*
Angele's head ached. His sight blurred and his body was pushed away by something. He lost his consciousness right away.
"Well, I thought the shadow form has a brain too… Boring…" Alice's voice echoed in Angele's ears before the shadow form was destroyed.
Angele sighed deeply as he opened his eyes. He looked at the purple ring and he had mixed emotions about the situation.
Based on Alice's attitude, he realized that the organization was no longer treating him as an important member after they executed their plan. He knew this day would come, but he did not expect it to be so fast.
The Dark Wizard Tower was dodging his questions and the elites were only working for him because of the contracts they signed.
'I need to check the situation constantly. If the situation gets worse, I'll have to… My core is almost completed anyway.' Angele slowly stood up and rubbed the surface of the ring.
'Let me check what I have first, maybe there's something I need.' Angele stood in the stone chamber and closed his eyes. He started thinking and analyzing.
Angele checked his mentality using the biochip and the total number had reached over three hundred thousand. However, all the mentality was from the negative emotions and he could not utilize it yet. He was focusing on three cores; however, he would still be weaker than the lords in the Nightmare Realm even with the cores.
The mentality crystals were created by the mentality and three different talent spells were engraved on them. They were the most important cores to Angele.
The three dark-red cores were rotating slowly in the mentality created by the negative emotions. That was the reason why the main world applied so much pressure on Angele.
If he could absorb all the mentality, the realm power would not be able to weaken him too much, and he could reach rank 5 or 6. That would also be Eye Devil's rank if she entered this world.
However, the resistance would be much stronger when he tried to enter the main world if he had a high power level.
The three diamond-shaped mentality crystals were releasing some red light. A tiny white lion was sleeping in the light, and a small golden phoenix was rotating around the lion like a satellite.
'How can I apply the negative emotions to my talent ability or create a new mentality core?
'Zero, check if I can create a rank 4 wizard's mentality crystal.'
'Task created… Analysis started…'
Chapter 482: Test (3)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Angele only read two pages of the Book of Light, however, he learned a lot from the information he acquired.
The most important thing the Book of Light taught him was the nature of light.
Angele tried to understand the nature of the mentality from the negative emotions when the biochip was doing the simulation. The learning procedure might help him modify his talent abilities.
The negative emotions were purified by the woman in black using countless souls so the mentality he acquired was intense—it was nearly impossible for him to utilize it.
In the Nightmare Realm, he had the realm power assisting him and he could easily use the power of the negative emotions; however, there was nothing he could do in the main world.
Angele released a mentality wave, but it was blocked right after it contacted the black smoke.
'Do I have to teleport to the Nightmare Realm to use the power?' Angele sat down with his legs crossed and his brow furrowed.
'Maybe I should…' He suddenly raised his hand and started drawing random strings and runes on the ground.
About ten minutes later, a bunch of strange runes appeared on the ground. The runes formed a chubby scorpion.
It was the sign of Angele's refined true form.
"With my bloodline, I summon thee, the strong being of another realm…" Angele started the incantation using the ancient language and chanted every rune on the ground.
The sign created by the runes was using the scorpion woman's sign as the core. The signs of the Son of Sun and the single-eyed giant were also combined into the runes—that was the reason why it looked so complicated.
Angele had to chant all the runes to complete the incantation.
After about ten minutes, he finally finished the long and deep incantation.
The sign that he drew on the ground released some gentle black light and the runes started vibrating. It looked like the runes were releasing some translucent waves.
"I knew it." The result was expected.
"I can use some of my power from the Nightmare Realm by summoning myself to the wizard world," Angele muttered.
He released some mentality waves to the sign when the runes were still vibrating.
*CHI*
Suddenly, a terrifying and warm mentality wave that was mixed with the negative emotions was released from the sign. The mentality wave turned into a black electric pulse and charged into Angele's forehead.
Angele did not stop the electric pulse from entering his body.
A normal creature would be severely injured when contacting the negative emotions unless the creature had the same power level as Angele's refined true form; however, Angele was not hurt at all.
Everything was going as Angele planned, the dark mentality was just rotating around his mentality crystals since it could not enter those crystals.
Also, he could easily control the negative emotions.
Angele moved the dark mentality to a large number of negative emotions around the mentality crystals.
The dark mentality merged into the negative emotions without any problem. It felt like the negative emotions were a big ball of cotton.
Also, the dark mentality quickly found a small ball of negative emotions. Angele noticed that he could control the mentality formed by the negative emotions after the dark mentality merged into it.
'Great…' Angele looked relieved.
Raising his hand, Angele looked at his palm.
*CHI*
A ball of dark smoke was released from his palm and rotated several times in the air.
Angele looked at the black smoke on his palm and chanted a different incantation. The incantation was created using the runes of the Son of Sun.
It took him a while to finish the incantation.
The black smoke started burning and turned into a ball of pure white flame that was burning quietly.
Angele stared at the white flame and recalled the things he learned from the Book of Light. He carefully checked the dancing flame.
Suddenly, he found the right timing and used the other hand to draw a red pentagram around the flame.
With a flick of his finger...
*CHI*
...the white flame exploded and turned into white light dots. The white light dots floated around Angele.
"Come to me!"
The white light dots all charged into Angele's forehead after he finished speaking, and quickly found the three diamond-shaped mentality crystals.
Angele took control of the white light dots and moved them to the third mentality crystal. The light dots entered the crystal one after one.
Angele's body started burning as the white light dots merged into the mentality crystal.
His skin turned translucent and his body was surrounded by red flames. It felt like his body was created by the red flames.
It was the elemental ability Angele acquired when he become a rank 3 wizard.
Angele's body turned into pure elemental energy as more and more light dots entered the crystal. His body turned into rays of white light, flying around the room.
About half an hour later, Angele's head also turned into a ray of white light and joined a ball of flying white light.
The light ball rotated one more time and exploded, disappearing into the air.
The whole stone chamber was bright like it was filled up by sunlight; the situation was not caused by the crystal lamps on the walls.
It lasted for about ten seconds and the white rays returned to Angele's original location, turning into a human being that was surrounded by red flames.
The flames died out slowly, revealing Angele's body.
His eyes were closed and his body was covered with sweat.
"Finally, the Body of Light…" He sounded tired.
Angele ignited the Son of Sun's bloodline rune using the dark mentality and modified his elemental ability using the things he learned from the Book of Light.
'The Body of Light or the light form… I didn't know that the light speed in this world is much faster than the light speed on Earth. Maybe the living beings of the wizard world are different from the living beings on Earth.' Angele found something new again.
The Absolute Zero in the wizard world was also different; according to the information he collected, the Absolute Zero here was much lower than the Absolute Zero on Earth.
Angele stopped thinking and checked his current situation.
The surface of the third mentality crystal was covered with countless white runes; they looked different from the runes on the other mentality crystals.
However, the mentality crystal cracked slightly, it seemed like the crystal was having trouble handling such a strong modification technique.
'Although I completed this process quickly, the procedure greatly damaged my body… If I want to do the same thing for my refined true form…' Angele could not imagine how hard it would be.
'I'll just call this thing light form, it'll help me in life-threatening situations. Now, I just need to check the next one.' Angele decided to stay in the stone chamber alone because he wanted to refine his fighting skills using the things he learned or the resources he acquired.
'The talent ability from the second mentality crystal is…' Angele focused on the surface of the second mentality crystal and the runes were familiar. 'The lave balls…'
Angele stopped using the lava balls after he acquired the secret techniques from the bloodlines since the lava balls were too weak when compared to them. However, lava balls were great for normal rank 3 wizards.
The lava balls could be released instantly and they were great for large-scale battles; also, the lava balls could increase his fire resistance.
Angele had not used the lava balls for a while because he had better spells or techniques.
He decided to modify the talent abilities using the mentality from the negative emotions.
It required a large amount of mentality to complete the modification; however, Angele had so much mentality that he did not care. Only wizards like him would be able to modify the talent abilities like that.
Most wizards could only modify the talent abilities using their own mentality. Also, they needed to control the mentality waves accurately and have extra mentality to use.
A hint of green light appeared on Angele's finger. He tapped on his temples, and felt refreshed with the life energy.
'Lava balls, one of the talent abilities from the Molten Core River. I need to make it more powerful. The lava balls are a combination of Earth and Fire energy particles. It's a lot more complicated than the abilities that only require one type of energy particles. If I release the lava balls in an environment that lacks the necessary energy particles, the damage of the lava balls will be greatly decreased.'
Angele was concerned about the disadvantages of the lava balls.
'Maybe there's another way…' His sight fell upon the flaming lion who was sleeping on the side.
The light lion already turned into a soul form that lived in his body.
Angele hesitated for a second and released a mentality to control the white lion. The lion stood up, turned into a ray of white light, and flew into the second mentality crystal.
The lion and Phoenix both flew into the second mentality crystal. It felt like they were sinking into water. There was no response.
The lion and Phoenix appeared on the surface of the crystal.
Angele threw the two special creatures into the mentality crystal. Phoenix merged into the flaming lion and they became the talent ability of the second mentality crystal.
He acquired a summoning spell.
Angele checked the runes on the surface of the mentality crystal and pointed forward.
A ball of red flames appeared in the sky. The flame ball splashed and turned into a translucent human being.
The man had the body of a human and the head of a lion, a pair of phoenix wings on his back.
The man had a muscular body and there were several lava balls rotating around him.
Angele looked at the two-meter-tall lion man and scrunched his brow.
'Phoenix, flaming lion, and the runes of the lava balls… The modified talent spell created this monster, but it's way too weak…'
The lion man looked strong, but the energy wave he released had the same power level as a rank 3 apprentice, which meant, if the lion man did not have special abilities, he would be the same as a strong mortal Knight.
The flaming lion and Phoenix removed the runes that were conflicting; however, the runes that were removed were the reason why lava balls were powerful.
Without the runes, the lion man had no way to deal high damage.
Chapter 483: Test (4)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
'It's a bit unexpected but I can live with it.' Angele released some dark mentality wave, which entered the lion man's forehead, turning into a black scorpion shaped rune. The rune looked identical to the sign of Angele's refined true form.
'Phoenix is like a soul form created by my mentality and there will be no conflict.' Angele looked at the black rune on the lion man's forehead, satisfied.
'This rune will absorb the negative emotions and convert them into energy. Although the structure will be damaged when using the negative emotions, with my rune control, it shouldn't be a big problem.
'Alright, I'll name the talent ability for the second mentality crystal as summoning.' Angele was satisfied with the result.
The lion man could help him create a creature that was stronger than his normal form.
The lion man itself was weak, however, Angele could control the lion man using the negative emotions, and the latter would be strengthened to a certain level.
'Alright, the last one, Metal Mastery…' Angele looked at the first mentality crystal and he realized that he had a Legacy Magic Circle Set in the Dark Wizard Tower.
Angele was focusing on the Metal Mastery when he became a wizard and no other wizard who practiced the metal spells reached his level. The talent ability could only be greatly improved in an environment that was full of metal energy particles.
However, the Metal Mastery was no longer practical during the battles to Angele.
Angele thought for a while and decided to replace the talent ability. His refined true form was close to the power level of a rank 8 wizard and he should be able to completely modify the rank 1 mentality crystal.
'Maybe I should do something to the properties of the crystal…'
Angele recalled the defensive techniques he learned; he could turn one of the techniques or spells he learned over the years into a talent ability.
'I need a defensive talent ability and my best choice will be something that doesn't require spell materials. Maybe I should try strong defensive spells like Stone Armor or Stone Golem…'
The Stone Armor would create a layer of stone on the caster's body which would regenerate after being damaged. The Stone Golem would turn the caster into a large stone monster and Angele would be able to control it from inside.
Angele thought for a while and decided to change the talent ability into Stone Golem since he could modify the contents of the stone if he wanted to.
The stone monster created by the spell could absorb materials like rocks or minerals, however, the strength of the materials would not be as strong as the materials used by the Metal Mastery. Due to the heavy weight of the stone monster, it had decent attack and defensive abilities. The spell was also the strongest level 1 spell Angele had.
Due to the limitation of the mentality crystal, Angele could not use spells that exceeded the rank of the mentality crystal. He had better spells, but they had high levels.
Angele engraved the runes on the surface of the crystal and raised his hand, tapping the rune circle on the ground slightly. His mentality wave was quickly turned into the dark mentality and the black smoke around the mentality crystals formed three small signs of the refined true form.
The runes flew to the three mentality crystals and started rotating like satellites.
'Finally, it's done. With the signs of my refined true form, all my talent abilities will cost less mentality when activated, since they'll be consuming the dark mentality. I'll be able to activate those abilities in the main world without any problem.'
Angele removed the rune circles from the ground using his right hand.
He checked the time using the biochip and realized that he spent two days on the modification.
Angele sighed with relief and closed his eyes. He wanted to rest for a while.
Two hours later, he opened his eyes and noticed that the purple ring on his left hand was glowing.
"Green? This is Juventus. Be prepared, the organization is sending a Viscount to take your position. Don't be sad, it's for the empire's big plan. Make sure you treat him well so you'll get more rewards after everything is settled."
Juventus sent Angele the message on behalf of their teacher in the Dark Wizard Tower.
"Alright, I understand," Angele responded in a light tone.
"How's the empire's situation?" he asked.
"The empire is doing well. The Shadow Lord's territory is under our control, the Sky Lord and the Mirror Lord have left their bases. They're working with Prince Evil Dragon at the Molten River area—it seems like they want to form an alliance, but small organizations can't do anything to us." Juventus chuckled.
"Don't worry, you signed the contract and you'll be fine," he added.
"That's great. I was once a core member and it seems like the organization will still treat me well." Angele chuckled as well.
"It's great that you can understand. Alright, I have something else to take care of. I'll talk to you later."
"Sure."
They cut the communication.
The smile disappeared from Angele's face immediately.
Raising his left hand, he created a ring of red flames around the purple ring and blocked the communication.
Angele controlled the mentality wave accurately and made sure he did not alert any member of the organization.
It was part of the scorpion woman's bloodline power—although he could not utilize the power completely in the main world, the ability was still quite helpful.
He cheated the ring using the illusions and made sure that he did everything properly.
Angele sneered and took the ring off his left hand, laying it on the ground.
'They made the wrong decision.' The others did not know the situation, but Angele was familiar with the background of the Shadow Lord due to Henn.
Shadow Lord was related to the Shadow Realm.
Henn and the Arisma already told him about the Shadow Realm when he was still being tracked down.
Dark Wizard Tower had a large intel center, however, it seemed like they did not know the background of Shadow Lord. They assassinated Shadow Lord and the Shadow Realm would fight back sooner or later.
Shadow Realm was a mysterious realm, people barely knew anything about it, and no one knew how strong the residents of the realm were.
The Fairy Empire sent a lot of soldiers into the main world and they were spending a large number of resources every day. However, they suddenly stopped advancing after the first several victories.
Obviously, they were stopped by someone.
After the short conversation with Juventus, he assumed that the empire was stopped by the strong beings of Shadow Realm and the Fairy Empire was trying to solve the problem.
'Sky Lord and Mirror Lord probably noticed the situation, so they decided to form an alliance and eliminate Fairy Empire. The war is coming to an end…'
Angele stopped up and pushed the stone gate open.
It was quiet outside and no one was around.
The land outside the headquarters was vibrating intensely; it seemed like there was a strong creature hitting the ground, and there were people screaming and something exploding.
The stone chamber was well sealed and Angele did not notice anything when he was inside.
Angele's expression changed, he ran to the stone window in the hall and peeked outside.
The forest outside was burning, the red flames and the black smoke were striking to the air. Countless dead bodies and body parts covered the ground.
There were also black creatures that looked like dragons flying in the blue sky.
Those creatures were coated with a metallic substance and about four meters long. They looked like flying dragons made of metal. The black robes on the ground were releasing fire lances constantly and some of the flying dragons were eliminated.
There were also some metal dragons on the ground and the wizards were trying to handle them with golems or elementals.
The red and blue energy waves were exploding in the endless sky. They looked like fireworks.
Angele quickly glanced around, trying to see if the elders were also fighting, but did not find anyone.
'Damn! It's the Wooden Dragon Legion…' He quickly jumped out of the window and landed on the grass.
He found an old male wizard that lost an arm and a leg lying on the ground. The old wizard was trying to heal his wounds using some potions.
Angele rushed to the old wizard, took out a blue potion, and poured it over the old wizard's forehead.
The blue liquid was quickly absorbed by the wizard.
"This is an energy potion and it'll increase your mentality temporarily. Find somewhere safe and treat your wounds. I have a question, where are the elders?!" Angele questioned in a deep tone.
"The elders… are fighting with the strong enemies…" The old wizard struggled for a second and pointed the direction.
"Thanks." Angele raised his head and pointed at the ground.
"Summon!"
A large bump appeared on the grass and a stone golem was created. The yellow golem was about six meters tall and it walked to Angele slowly.
"It won't work…" the old wizard on the ground advised.
"The golems are too heavy and slow. Those monsters can only be damaged by powerful spells."
Angele knew the wooden dragons well. Those wooden dragons were strong and they had high resistance.
He just wanted to test if the golem was strong enough and he could take the old wizard to a safer place.
Angele looked at the west of the sky and detected some aggressive energy waves. The energy waves stronger than the energy waves released by rank 4 wizards.
The elders of Elemental Hand activated the inheritor magic circles; however, it seemed like they were not winning the intense battle.
Angele knew that the strong beings of the Fairy Empire could easily destroy his physical form in the wizard world and he doubted if he could help the elders.
'Dark Wizard Tower… You've crossed the line…' He tightened his fist.
