As carlus observed his injuries he knew it was only a matter of time before he would die and he turned to the man was about to do it apcepting his defeat."I guess the boss hunting senses can be wrong" he thought turning to vance.
So you really are the first venerable such high level of man control know wonder it felt like you didn't even have mana,rook run as fast as you can"carlus shouted and Blood leaked from his mouth as his face falled straight to the ground not breathing.
more veins stared to rise on rook face while his skin that now looked like metal was glowing.
How dare you kill all of my group in front me die you bastard he said crossing the distance between him and Vance in an instant he Punched at him and Vance delivered a punch of his own hitting rook's fist dead on and shockwave erupted from there blow's while both kept punching and kicking at each other but it was clear that Vance was taking the lead in the fight as every punch or kick rook send at him was deflated while Vance attacks would connect hitting rook body giving him immense pain despite his body being harder than metal soon rook backed away from Vance panting heavily while Vance had an calm expression moving forward towards rook who caught glimpse of what Vance was doing and stared going backwards while thinking one thing he needed to escape from the pyramid that once seemed like an treasure trove but had quickly turned into an nightmare for him, turning around he started running towards the entrance and was only meters away when metal like chains rised from the ground of the pyramid before he could react and cuffed both his arms and feet and slowly he could feel all the mana he had cultivated in his body slip away in an instant and the next moment the chains spun him around and he was now face to face with face with Vance.
"Anti magic ore's there a bother aren't they that casket I was just in is also made from it" Vance said in a carefree tone.
Rook looking at him couldn't believe that he who was once an bandit leader that was wanted in seldom city for numerous crimes was now being treated like an bug that could be killed at any moment"damn that big guild member he set me up they'll pay for this" rook thought.
"I'll tell you everything if you let me go I swear"rook said.
Vance thought for awhile although he wanted to kill the person Infront him he wasn't more important that the person that had intentionally waked him up.
"Speak if the information you give is anyway important I might let you go"Vance said and a glint appeared in rook eyes.
"Thank you mister first venerable I know the rumors about you being ruthless wasn't true"rook said but could see that Vance facial expressions hadn't change one bit with his praises and quickly continued."a month ago I was contacted by someone from an large guild stating the secret vault of the first venerable was here to take it"said rook.
"So all the information you know is that you wanted to rob me" said Vance with lightning gushing from his hands.
Wait, I'm not done yet shouted rook and continued."the guild the person from that contacted me is name blood crane and there guild leader is non other than the 10th venerable mushan lark"said rook and he immediately felt his hands uncuffed and mana starting to build up in his spirit core.
Quickly leave before I change my mind" said Vance and rook could see that he was serious and quickly sprinted out the pyramid doors and moved away from the pyramid and stared running away from it on the island it was situated from but he was still stuck with the entire island being surrounded by lava.
"What the hell "rook shouted realizing there was no way he was getting off the island without the help of someone.
Back inside the pyramid vance was thinking of how mushan knew he was here and why he wanted to wake him up after the alien war hundred years ago since he was also an venerable there could be many reasons like maybe another large scale war was about to take place again are something different either way Vance was about to find out although still pissed that he was woke up as he didn't just lock himself away because he wanted to hide himself away from the public but because he was injuries from the war and to heal them he absorbed an special magic ore and it caused him to enter a deep sleep but even after a hundred years had passed with Vance injuries completely healed he wasn't able to finish absorbing the special magical material even his powers were increased because of it and he was a step away from reaching a new stage of power again when his artifact the isle pyramid alerted him that a group had entered but couldn't do anything to stop since the group had used the correct password to enter.
"Damn those criminals, should I just go back on my word and kill the fat one"Vance said out loud and started walking towards the entrance but he heard an robotic voice which made him stop.
"Sire I don't think that rank 3 human is important more important than knowing what's happened to the world in the past hundred years"a male robotic voice said.
Vance hearing the voice was shocked are anything since he knew it belonged well since it belonged to his isle pyramid which was an artifact that had gained spirituality.
I guess your right what's the name of the closest city from here,as for information about what happened while I was dormant I'll learn that later "Vance said as the Isle pyramid was an magical artifact that had the technology akin to an super computer so accessing information was easy for it.
After a few seconds passed the isle pyramid responded.
"The closest city from here is seldom" said Marcel which was the name of the isle pyramid.
Then let's head there and bring me to the control room and activate camouflage mode" Vance said and he was immediately teleported arriving into a room that was located at the very top of the pyramid with many computer screens showing outside of the pyramid taking a seat Vance just aimlessly looked at the screens.
Outside on the island surrounded by a sea of lava rook was moving around the island trying to find something to cross to the sea with when he felt the entire island Start to shake like an earthquake was occuring but when he looked to the sky's he could see the large pyramid in the sky before it disappeared from sight like it wasn't there and if one looked good at the sky they could what looked like the sky moving,rook seeing noway to escape the island stood on the edge just looking out at the sea of lava when he could see something moving inside it and wondered how could that be but then he thought maybe it was an magic beast that had an high affinity to fire that was moving in it but as the being reached the shore that thought didn't add up as an handsome man whose hair was red with purples strips on it, crimson red eyes and was just wearing an tall red pants walked out the lava and was heading towards him and the only thing he could think was this person was an monster.
The red hair man walk forward and caught glimpse of rook and stated heading right towards him smiling with his visible sharp teeth.
By chance do you have any idea where the black pyramid that was here went" the red hair man said.
Rook who was still in shock after seeing someone walk out of lava completely fine was now in disbelief that someone wanted to no were the cursed black pyramid that he barely escape with his life was but still scared from the incident he pointed up at the sky.
"it went west from here"rook said.
"Thank you very much for that now I'll send you off"the red hair man said and grabbed rook by his hair and drawing him down in a kneeing position's.
Rook who now had his life threaten again thought back to how the man in the black pyramid proclaimed himself as the first venerable and now looking at the man Infront him he remembered that someone high up also had the same description as the man Infront him"you couldn't be the crimson king Arthur pilgrim"rook said in a weak voice.
I am the read hair man said and red flame's burst from his hands engulfing rook entirely and burnt him into dust in less than a second," that bastard I wasted so many years here waiting on that guy to come out of his pyramid on them he up on leave I won't just defeat him when we meet I'll kill him"Arthur proclaimed looking west of the island.
Back in the pyramid many minutes had passed an the pyramid was now hovering over seldom city before stopping in the air the city was large surrounded by many high wall because of the fear of magic beast living in the large desert the city was at,after telling Marcel to hide somewhere in the desert bear to the city Vance jump out of the pyramid with it still in it's camouflage mode so it simply looked like he was dropping from the sky soon he made a gust of wind covered him and he landed safely atop a building then he jumped off the building and blended into the crowd of people that walk the streets looking for the closest guild nearby.
"I should try hunting magic beast's I've been out of practice for too long I don't want this to affect me If I have to deal with anyone on my level"Vance thought.
Inside an two floor building with the name Morse guild many person's were seated around table's drinking while some were looking at an large board that had missions of hunting magic beast's with an price for it written white papers.
A blond hair girl that was wearing an yellow dress with an katana like blades in a sheath around her waist walked up to the board taking off an mission that caught everyone eyes has it was the hardest mission which was to kill the magic beast's that ruled over other magic beast's in the area,still holding the mission in her hands she spoke.
"I'm Clarissa Molina and I will be take on this quest at dawn tomorrow if there are any brave heros willing to follow me and the city lord's army then come to the city lord's mansion before that time" saying this the lady left.
The Morse guild was a buzz and just after tClarissa exited the doors of the Morse guild a few minutes later a blue hair man entered.
