"This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't attack me first. I just wanted to extract a small amount of blood from your body but you attacked me without saying a word. This is not my fault." Angele pursed his lips.
"It's my fault… Sorry…" The girl still feared Angele's power; also, it seemed like the vampire girl had low intelligence. "Please… Don't throw me to the minotaur tribe… I'm scared…"
Angele's brow furrowed. 'It feels like I'm talking to a child…'
He looked at the core as blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes. "Alright, answer my questions."
Angele asked the biochip to create a simple intelligence test and tested the vampire girl's soul that was inside the core.
About ten minutes later…
Angele stood there with a disappointed look on his face.
'She has the intelligence that's same as a two-year-old… What happened to the modern vampires.'
Angele thought for a while and pressed on the surface of the core using his right hand. A pair of translucent golden eyes appeared over his brow.
'Mind Read…'
Countless images flashed in Angele's brain.
Angele lowered his hands after a while; he was speechless.
'It's a father and two daughters. They were so hungry that they had to suck each other's blood and their brains were damaged for that reason…'
In the girl's memory, the three vampires woke and decided to hunt for blood. However, they failed to defeat the fire snake wolves since the wolf leader was alive at that time. The wolf leader's energy wave was so strong that the vampires were severely injured and had to hide in the hall.
Hundreds of years later, the three vampires tried to escape from the cave again, however, the ancient war was going on. The remaining energy waves released by the ancient wizards severely damaged the three vampires again. They had the same power level as a rank 1 wizard and had not consumed fresh blood in a while.
They returned to the hall again and transformed their family treasure into three ice coffins. Also, they had to consume each other's blood to recover from their injuries. Their attributes were lowered and their power was weakened.
The three vampires would wake up every thousand years and suck each other blood as they needed the energy.
The ice coffins lost their power due to the energy leak over time and turned into normal coffins.
The three vampires' intelligence was also getting lower and lower.
'Well, I guess they're just unlucky…' Angele checked the vampire's memory and felt sad for what they went through. 'Energy can't be cycled forever, it will run out sooner or later…'
The biochip was still analyzing the gene structure of the core.
Angele started thinking after checking the vampire's memory.
The three vampire cores were no longer trying to fight back after Angele threatened them. Sadly, their souls were extremely weak since they consumed each other's blood.
Angele did some detailed tests after checking their memories and finally understood everything.
Angele had three vampire cores in hand and two dead bodies of the vampires.
He hesitated for a second and decided not to destroy the vampire's dead bodies. Rather, he let the body of the vampire girl that turned into black ash transform into her flesh again.
Angele returned the three dead bodies to the coffins and sealed them. He carefully applied his own rune on the lids and coated the coffins with poisonous energy particles as a warning.
'I think I can turn the vampire ashes into vampire bodies as long as I have the corresponding vampire cores. The problem is, I didn't figure out how they increase their own power using other creatures' blood…' He assumed that vampires' ability was related to their genes and he could not just simply copy the process.
However, the gene structure was aggressive and invasive. The features of the gene structure might aid Angele in the future; he stored it in the database.
Angele finished handling the coffins and he exited the hall through the well, returning to the dark cave.
Roar*
The flaming lion was lying on its stomach by the well—it shouted as it saw Angele climbing up. There was a dead body of a snake in front of it along with some fresh blood and broken stone pieces.
It seemed like the lion killed the snake while waiting.
Angele walked to the lion and patted its head.
"Good job."
The lion shook its head slightly and enjoyed the moment.
Angele raised his right hand and a long blade appeared on his right arm along with the armor piece.
"Come back now." He slashed forward slightly.
The lion stood up and jumped to Angele.
BAM*
A ball of bright white light exploded in his sight.
Angele returned to the normal form as the light faded. The armor disappeared with the lion and the blade.
Turning his head around, Angele walked to the well and took out a tube that was filled up with sticky black liquid.
He removed the stopper and then poured the liquid out.
The black liquid dropped to the ground like oil; it expanded and merged into the black stones on the ground. Several seconds later, a tall stone golem was created.
The golem shook its shoulders and walked to the stone wall. It stepped forward and slowly merged into the wall.
"From now on, attack any creature that wants to enter the range, me excluded. Range, 200 square meters," Angele ordered in a deep tone.
Roar*
A terrifying face appeared on the stone wall and the golem responded in a deep voice.
Angele nodded and walked to the exit of the cave from the way he came.
The stone golem could last for more than ten years—he found it in the warehouse of the Watchers.
If Angele could survive the incoming chaos era, he would return to the well and continue his research. Also, if he failed, he would no longer need the golem's service.
15 days later…
In the ruins under the volcano.
CHI*
A ball of green flame exploded in Angele's hands and illuminated his face.
Angele stood in the spell lab; there were many dead bodies of golden eagles lying around him. The dark-red blood was dripping down the gray lab table.
He grabbed a black towel and wiped his hands. Angele exhaled deeply and looked at his left hand. Someone just sent him a message.
"Leader, we've arrived at the location, the altar is still safe and it seems like the targets are not here yet." A deep voice echoed in Angele's ears.
Angele could not recall who it was at first, he thought for a while and realized that it was an elite that he sent to assist the Count.
"Stay in the area and observe the targets when they arrive. Check if there is a man with dark skin on their team. Let me know if there is," Angele responded after he thought for a while.
The man with dark skin was Mincola, he escaped with Suman the last time Angele met them.
Mincola helped Angele before, so Angele did not want to attack him by accident.
The message was received a while ago and the elite did not respond to Angele immediately, which meant that the distance between them was big.
Angele hanged the black towel on the hanger and rubbed his hands. He walked out of the lab and returned to his bedroom.
He walked to the wall and there was a silver plate on top of a stone cabinet. A translucent crystal orb was floating over the plate and there was a white vortex in the center of the orb.
Angele glanced at the crystal orb and noticed the white vortex as well.
He walked to the orb and tapped its surface.
CHI*
The vortex expanded and filled up the crystal orb.
The orb turned completely white.
"Leader." Victoria's voice came from the orb. "You were right, the shadow lord interfered."
"Huh? What's the result then?" Angele questioned in a calm tone.
"Well, the first elder of Elemental Hand joined the fight as well. I found the chance and took Eugene. However, the wizards from the underground world…" Victoria chuckled.
"Eugene is still alive?" Angele's brow furrowed.
"She's still alive, but she looks so different now… Ha! Do you want me to bring her to you?"
"Well, show me the image." Angele was curious after hearing Victoria's word.
"Sure, I thought you wouldn't be interested." Victoria's voice slowly disappeared.
The image in the orb changed from white to a black hut.
Victoria was wearing a red robe and there was a pig covered with mud in his hands.
Strangely, Angele recognized that the pig was Eugene immediately as the pig had a face that looked identical to Eugene; the pig was crying.
"This is Eugene. Master, you can recognize her, right?"
Angele's face twitched.
"Permanent Polymorph?"
"You're right." Victoria chuckled again. "Prince Panko cast the spell using his stone wand, that was an expensive item. I don't know how Panko acquired the item, but Permanent Polymorph is a high-level spell. The wand was infused with a rune circle that was probably created by a rank 5 wizard. I guess Panko really hates Eugene."
"Whatever… Just treat yourself with a roast pig meal or you can just finish her off. I'm not interested anymore." Angele was speechless.
He tapped on the crystal orb and the image disappeared before Victoria responded.
Angele stood in front of the crystal orb. He was not sure how he should react to that result. Eugene was a top-level rank 4 wizard, but she was transformed into a pig.
'That might be her destiny,' Angele thought.

It was Eugene's own fault, she had too many enemies.
Angele stepped away from the crystal orb and wiped the dust off his long robe. A red triangular rune flashed on the robe and the robe became clean again.
He tested the mind-reading ability in the main world; however, it seemed like the ability was easier to control when he was in the Nightmare Realm.
In the Nightmare Realm, Angele could read an adult's memory without any problem. However, in the wizard world, a lot of mentality was consumed when he was reading the memory of a vampire girl.
It was probably due to the realm difference. Although Angele's true form was strengthened, he could not utilize his true power in the main world.
Although the single-eyed giant's bloodline could increase his attributes, his body was still much weaker than his true form. It was the same for the scorpion woman's bloodline, the ability was weakened in the main world.
As Angele sat on the bed with his legs crossed, a white envelope appeared above the red cabinet slowly, and it looked like a playback of a burning letter.
The envelope returned to its original shape in drops of flames.
Angele glanced at the white letter, raised his hand, and the letter landed on his palm.
"A new way to send a message?" Angele was a bit confused as he turned the letter around.
The surface of the letter was smooth and slightly wet.
A clean and beautiful sentence was written in gold on the front of the envelope.
'To Green.
Vivian Fenrir.'
CHI*
Angele unsealed the letter and pulled a yellow leather paper out of it.
The paper was covered with Vivian's words, she was asking about Angele's current situation. Then, Vivian mentioned that she had taken care of Eugene and she wanted Angele to rest well. Also, Vivian would be back in a year due to the incident and she wanted to make sure that Angele could reach rank 3 by then. Vivian said she would punish Angele if he could not reach rank 3.
There were many repeated sentences in the letter, most of them were just the caring words from a mother to a son.
Also, it was mentioned that the new method of sending messages was developed by a wizard named Rock last year. Watchers learned the technique not so long ago—they modified the technique slightly, and Angele was one of the few people in the organization who received a message that was delivered using the new technique.
Angele read through the letter and carefully put it into a drawer of the red cabinet.
'One year till Vivian returns. I should probably finish my things before that.'
He sat on the bed and thought for a while. Black and red runes appeared on the walls as he waved his hands.
There were more than 30 runes on the walls—they released a translucent force field that surrounded them.
Angele checked the red light on the walls of the bedroom and nodded with a satisfied look on face. He relaxed and slowly lay down.
There were a dark-red blanket, a quality pillow, and a soft cotton sheet on the large bed.
Angele lay on the bed, enjoying the warmth of the high-quality bed. It felt like lying on a pile of cotton flowers. He could see the red barriers on the wall with a quick glance and he felt safe in an environment like this.
"I haven't relaxed like this for a while…" Angele calmed down and fell asleep slowly.
"Cough!"
Angele suddenly coughed several times and woke up from the sweet dream right away.
He quickly got up, covered his mouth, and started coughing.
'It's probably morning… I hate this thing… It always interrupts my dreams in the morning,' Angele thought as he glanced at the barriers in the room.
"Well… I'm just paranoid… The ruin is protected by countless traps and I don't even know why I decided to set up barriers in my bedrooms…" There was a bitter smile on Angele's face. He got off the bed, put on black boots, and buttoned everything.
He walked to the wardrobe and selected a white silky cloak with a long white belt with silver edges.
After changing the clothes, he put his hand on the chest, turned into a ray of red light, and disappeared into the air.
Nightmare Realm.
In the reading room of the mansion by the river.
A ray of red light slowly appeared in the room, turning into a human being.
Angele was wearing a long white robe and half of his face was covered by the tall collar.
He glanced around the room and noticed that the room was separated into two areas.
The area by the window looked like it had traveled through time. It was old and covered with yellow dust. It looked like no one cleaned that area for hundreds of years.
However, the other side was nice and clean. The lab table, the bookshelves, and the furniture looked like they were brand new.
"This is…?" Angele's brow furrowed, he looked at the strange room and recalled the first time that he entered the Nightmare Realm.
He stepped forward and stood on the line that separated the two areas. He raised his right hand and reached into the decaying area.
Nothing changed, his hand was still the same.
Angele was a bit confused. He remembered something and grabbed a red chair from the normal area, putting it down in the decaying area.
CHI*
After some light noise, the new chair started decaying at a fast rate. The color of the chair turned dark and the chair was covered with tiny cracks.
The new chair turned into an old chair within seconds.
'I was right… This is the decaying area.' Angele scrunched his brow again.
Angele already knew that the decaying area was one of the unsolved mysteries. He learned it from the information that was sent to him by Eye Devil, who had no idea what the decaying area was.
In the decaying area, time would travel much faster; however, only the physical form of the object or creature would change. The soul of the creature would remain the same.
In other words, one might turn into an old man while his soul was still young. The situation happened a lot; however, it could not be resolved or prevented.
There was only one way to handle the situation, which was leaving the area.
'That's why the strong beings in the Nightmare Realm are trying to invade the other worlds. They'll return to this realm after being pressured by the power of the realms. However, they could escape from the strange situations in the Nightmare Realm temporarily during the invasion.'
Angele knew that the decaying area would expand for unknown reasons; however, it would expand faster when the realms were close to each other.
An event was mentioned in the Erin's Funeral Oration.
The last inheritor of the oration was resting in a cave and set up multiple barriers by the entrance of the cave. It was nearly impossible for an invader or a creature to enter the cave without being noticed by the inheritor. However, several days later, when he woke up, he noticed that there was a girl in red standing beside him and staring at him, and he had no idea how long she had been standing there.
The inheritor knew that the girl was not a soul form as whoever practiced the oration would never fear a soul form. However, when the inheritor was certain that he was staying in a safe environment, the unexpected changes terrified him.
Angele was certain that something similar had happened to other strong beings in this realm and that was the reason why they pursued the ultimate true form.
One would not be injured even when he was sleeping if he reached the highest level, since the opponent would not be able to damage him use normal techniques.
Angele was certain that he would not fear anything if he could reach the highest power level.
'I think Eye Devil and the other lords all have things they fear and that's why they're so excited about the invasion. They wanted to stay in a better realm even if they can't stay there forever.'
Angele pulled the chair back to the normal area.
Crack*
The chair broke into pieces and turned into a pile of broken wood.
Shaking his head, Angele turned around and opened the door. The mansion was empty and deadly silent.
"Freia? Orphie?" he shouted in a deep voice.
No one responded. It felt like there was no one in the mansion.
Angele walked down the stairs slowly; his footsteps echoed in the empty mansion.
He noticed that the control panel for the defensive system was impacted by the decaying area and its surface was cracked. There was no light from the panel.
Angele's expression changed, he looked outside and noticed that the barriers almost disappeared.
By the edge of the barrier, there were countless footprints on the white snow. It felt like there were many people waiting for the barriers to disappear.
"Damn." Angele snorted and pointed at the control panel, releasing a ball of red flame that surrounded the panel completely.
WOO*
The defensive barriers around the mansion regained the energy and were activated again.
The burning flames around the panel were the source of their energy.
It was one of the tricks that Angele learned over the years. He turned the magic stones into pure power which could support a damaged rune circle temporarily.
However, the damaged rune circle would be destroyed completely in three days.
The control panel was already damaged and Angele had no way to repair it. He had to support it using the power from the magic stone.
"Freia! Orphie!" Angele shouted again, his voice was buffed by the energy waves, and it echoed in the mansion.
However, no one responded. It seemed like the two girls were not here.
Angele's expression turned serious, he quickly glanced around and his sight landed on the floor in front of the gate. He could see the wet footprints that went into the building.

Angele drew several runes in the air quietly, and a dark-red barrier and a frost aura quickly surrounded his body.
He glanced at the footprints—the wet footprints were hard to notice on the carpet and led straight to the bathroom.
Angele activated the stealth technique and walked to the bathroom slowly.
BAM*
He pushed the door open.
There was a naked woman with pale skin lying in a bathtub that was full of red blood.
The woman's eyes were wide open, she lay in the bathtub and no one knew how long she soaked in the blood. Her arms and legs were on the edges of the bathtub, the rest of her body was in the blood.
The stinky smell of the blood permeated the bathroom.
Angele followed the footprints to the bathtub and his sight fell upon the woman in the blood.
'Who's this woman…' Angele had never seen the woman.
It was not Orphie nor Freia. The woman looked young.
He approached the woman and grabbed her head.
Angele stared at the woman's widened eyes, it seemed like she died before she realized it.
Angele's brow furrowed, he tried to close the woman's eyes using his hand, but he failed for some reason.
"Fool…" Angele scrunched his brow again and applied some more force.
The woman's eyes were finally closed.
Angele lowered his hand and stood up. He checked the surroundings, but did not find anything. He hesitated, turned around, and walked to the door.
Suddenly, he could feel a chill climbing up his back and quickly turned around.
The woman was standing behind him and her eyes were wide open. There was blood dripping down her body.
BAM*
A ball of red flame exploded in the air and the dark-red lava splashed in the tiny bathroom.
Angele grabbed the woman's head using his right hand.
PA*
It sounded like a watermelon being crashed—the woman exploded after being gripped as her body turned into pieces of flesh and splashed on the walls.
Angele snorted and glanced around carefully.
The red blood splashed on the walls, along with the brain tissue and broken pieces of bones.
The red lava drops turned the bathroom into a sauna. White smoke rose from the flesh under the high temperature.
It smelled like someone was grilling meat.
Angele opened the door.
BAM*
The wooden door was blocked by something and he only managed to move the door slightly.
BAM BAM*
Angele tried again; however, the door was still blocked by something.
His expression changed, it was just the hallway outside the bathroom, and there should not be anything blocking his path.
Angele peeked outside through the door; he could see a shadow on the floor. It felt like there was someone standing outside the bathroom, pushing the door back.
"Damn it!" Angele's skull numbed. He had not encountered such a weird situation in a while.
He took a step back and kicked the wooden door hard.
BAM*
The white door was blown away by the impact, landing on the sofa in the living room. However, there was no one in the hallway.
Angele's expression turned serious, he knew that there were too many things that could not be explained in the mysterious Nightmare Realm. They were everywhere and they could happen at any time, just like nightmares.
He stepped into the hallway and checked the surroundings. The mansion was deadly silent and he was the only one making noises.
Angele looked at the bathroom, the room was already burnt black by the lava and the flames.
"Extinguish!" He pointed at the flames.
WOO*
Some gentle wind blew into the bedroom; the lava drops and the flames were all extinguished. Thick smoke was blown out of the broken window and everything returned to normal.
"Well, it's understandable that the lords want to travel to other realms…" Angele muttered, then looked at the building—he was worried about the girls.
Suddenly, Angele noticed that there was a letter in a black cylinder under the sofa. The cylinder container lay on the carpet quietly, it was placed in the normal area and the container looked new.
It seemed like Freia and Orphie were trying to hide from something. They probably hid the letter under the sofa so that they could tell Angele what happened.
Angele was excited after seeing the letter, he quickly walked to the sofa and used the energy particles to grab the container.
He opened the container and found a piece of yellow paper inside.
'Green, many strange things happened in the garden while you were not here. Orphie and I are scared. We received a letter from my brother and decided to leave the mansion with the one who delivered the letter. Don't worry, the person sent by my brother is strong and we will try to contact you later.'
The letter was written by Freia. Angele treated Freia like his own daughter and he would not want anything unfortunate to happen to her.
'I should leave this place as well…' He closed the letter and checked the surroundings again. Angele walked upstairs and collected the important lab data. He also checked the garden and noticed that Freia took the sunflower with her. He made sure nothing important was left behind and stepped out of the building.
The sky was pale and it was still snowing. Angele could see a thick layer of snow on the ground.
Angele grabbed a snowflake, but did not find any words on it. It was obvious that the snow was not used to deliver the message of a lord this time.
He stepped into the snow and walked to the defensive barriers with a large black leather case in hand.
There was no longer any green vine outside the barrier and the only thing in Angele's sight was the thick snow.
There were no footprints on the snow as he stepped out of the barrier. It almost felt like Angele was seeing illusions, however, Angele had high resistance to illusions and it was nearly impossible for him to be trapped in a fake environment.
Angele glanced at the mansion one last time before he entered the forest. The mansion was the only shelter he had in the Nightmare Realm, but he had to abandon it along with the memories.
"Sadly… Well…" Shaking his head, Angele stopped thinking, and walked to the deep forest.
Angele headed to Eye Devil's territory; the forest was still deadly silent. Angele created a shadow barrier around his body so the weird creatures would not be able to touch him during the daytime. He still had no idea where those creatures came from.
The strikes from those creatures could only be blocked by black objects and that was the reason why the residents of the Nightmare Realm wore black outfits.
Angele checked the map that was given to him by Eye Devil from time to time while he was traveling.
The map would change over time. Eye Devil's servants were collecting new information all the time and would update the map constantly due to the properties of the Nightmare Realm.
Angele decided not to use the elemental teleportation here since he was not familiar with the areas and the landscape might change for no reason.
He needed to have a general idea of his destination so the teleportation could be accurate, otherwise, he might hit a wall or something.
It got dark outside after he traveled for around five to six hours.
Angele stopped and found a patch of empty ground. He built a campfire using dried tree branches and set up an energy sentry in the area. The sentry looked like a palm-sized metal beetle and it could create a weak barrier. The sentry would warn the owner when there was danger.
Also, he could create multiple sentries and those beetles could hide underneath the ground so he could prevent the attack from below.
Angele meditated for a whole night with his legs crossed; he could feel that he was progressing.
After his soul was improved by the book of light, he could feel that his mentality was increasing as he meditated. It felt like pouring water into a bucket that increased in volume.
He noticed that his mentality was increasing twice faster than before.
Angele's mentality would increase by one point every year through meditation, but the needed time has shortened by half after his soul was improved. Although it would take him a while to meet the requirements for a rank 4 wizard, he already had the chance to become a rank 4 wizard. Every wizard needed the time to increase their mentality, but their power level would increase greatly after they advanced to rank 4.
Rank 3 wizard was like a worm in a cocoon. It would take him over 100 years to break the cocoon and become a butterfly. If he failed, he would die as a worm in the cocoon.
Angele had nothing to worry about, he was walking the path of the ancient wizard and his true form was getting closer to the power level of a rank 6 wizard. However, Angele was just assuming the level of his true form. He did it by comparing the data he collected since he had never seen the power of a rank 5 or 6 wizard.
Although the trip with Eye Devil's army would be dangerous, opportunities usually came with risks. Angele wanted to test his power and decided to join the invasion.

However, the trip was extremely dangerous. Eye Devil gathered her army and she probably had many strong servants. Angele had to take the risk.
His expression turned serious as he thought.
The campfire was burning in front of him, releasing bright yellow light. The dancing flames were noisy in the quiet environment.
He took out a small metal cage from the pouch, it was a tool that was gifted to him by Eye Devil.
He put everything away and took out a black gem from the pouch. The gem had a black edge and a red center.
'The dragon blood essence stone of the eye-gouging dragon from a ghost child… Without the knowledge of the old dragon, I'd never know how to extract this thing.' It was the blood stone he acquired from the items that were delivered to him by Eye Devil after the trade.
He finally had the chance to use it.
'According to the data, eye-gouging dragons had the strongest dragon roars. They could utilize their other sensory organs due to their missing eyes.
Angele took a deep breath and a translucent shadow of a giant slowly appeared behind him.
There was a long horn on the giant's head and the giant was more than seven meters tall. His body was covered in black armor with thorns and there was a pair of golden eyes over his brow. It was Angele's improved true form.
Angele threw the blood stone to the air.
It felt like the stone dropped into water as merged into the giant's body.
Roar*
The blood stone melted and turned into pure energy flow. The energy flow transformed into a tiny gray eye-gouging dragon with more than ten pairs of wings on its back roaring furiously. The dragon looked like a large black hedgehog that was trying to use the spikes to defend against the giant's power.
The tiny eye-gouging dragon opened its mouth and shouted, "I wangen spnaien yoau!"
The words meant: "Death is only the beginning".
BAM*
The giant waved its hand and the dragon charged into his body.
Seconds later, the shadow disappeared and everything returned to normal.
Angele stood up and glanced around with a blank expression on the face.
'Death is only the beginning? What does it mean? Is the dragon's mind power...? What a stubborn dragon… I had to use the power of my true form to absorb it.'
Blue light flashed in front of his eyes and he shook his head, looking depressed. 'Sadly, I can't retrieve the knowledge from the dragon sigil, only dragons can inherit the sigils. The Terror Dragons have strict rules I guess.'
Angele sat down and added some wood to the campfire. He then started meditating again—he wanted to see the changes happening to his body.
He absorbed the blood essence of the eye-gouging dragon and it felt like there was some icy water running through his organs.
There were two possible results after Angele absorbed a new bloodline. The bloodline would either be controlled by the single-eyed bloodline and the scorpion woman's bloodline or the three bloodlines would merge into each other and turn into a new bloodline; however, the eye-gouging dragon's bloodline had to be at the same level as the two other bloodlines.
'There are strong eye-gouging dragons and weak eye-gouging dragons. It all depends on the dragon's level now…'
Angele decided not to control his bloodlines and just let them develop.
It felt like his organs were being slashed through by knives, the pain was getting more and more intense every second.
Angele's brow furrowed and waited for the time to pass.
It was getting bright and the campfire was slowly extinguished; there was still smoke slowly rising from it.
Angele slowly opened his eyes and woke up from the meditation; his body was no longer aching. He quickly checked his condition.
The blood essence had completely disappeared; however, the merged scorpion woman bloodline and the single-eyed giant bloodline was strengthened.
'Zero, check my condition now.' Angele ordered in mind.
'Analyzing… Processing…'
'Angele Fenrir Rio. Strength 20.2 (65). Agility 18.5 (9.5). Stamina 30.0 (71). Mentality 200.7. Mana 157.2. Gene limit not reached. Impacted by the frost damage from the dragon breath.'
'So, my strength decreased from 21 to 20, stamina decreased from 32 to 30, and my mentality increased to 200. The attributes of my true form also increased.' Angele nodded with a satisfied look on face. 'It seems like the frost damage from the dragon breath has weakened. I hope I can get rid of this thing in the Soul River Realm…'
Zero suddenly warned him before Angele was about to move.
'Unknown gene change detected… Checking…'
'Analysis completed. Talent ability of the true form has changed. A new talent ability acquired, the Giant Roar.'
'Checking the talent ability… Comparing data… Roar: Your emotional roar will deal area damage when you're in true form.'
'Warning! Your stamina will be decreased temporarily when you use the roar.'
Angele was surprised by the warnings. He thought for a while and stood up. He waved his right hand and all the sentries returned to his hand.
He collected the sentries and checked the map. He started advancing to Eye Devil's territory again.
Three days later.
A black shadow stepped out of the dark but vibrant forest.
The man was surrounded by a translucent black force field that blocked all the branches. His white silk robe and long red hair were quite eye-catching.
"Finally, I'm here…" Angele exhaled lightly, he stood on a hill and overlooked at the yellow plain.
On the right of the endless plain, there was a city surrounded by sand. It seemed like the city was abandoned a long time ago.
Angele took out the yellow map, opened it, and tapped on it slightly.
CHI*
A black light ball was released by the map and it floated in front of him. The ball slowly transformed into a black eyeball.
"This is the mother base! This is the mother base! All the eyeballs, please return to the base, the invasion will start in two days!"
A cold female voice came from the eyeball—she kept repeating the sentence.
Angele was excited. "Finally, I can reach my destination in two days as two days here is longer than two days in the wizard world."
He felt relaxed after hearing the announcement.
A day in the Nightmare Realm was 30% longer than a day in the wizard world. It would only take him half a day to reach Eye Devil's base.
He grabbed a water pouch and drank some water. Angele walked down the hill and headed to Eye Devil's base at full speed.
Wind was blowing on the yellow plain and the sand in the wind blurred his sight. Angele casted a defensive spell to block the sand after he walked down the hill.
He followed the direction marked on the map and walked for about half an hour. He noticed that there were white bones on the ground, some were human bones but the rest looked like they were from some beasts.
Crack*
Angele stepped on a bone and it broke into pieces immediately.
He glanced around and noticed that there was a rusty blade on the right. The blade was red and a dried body of a wolfman lay beside it.
Angele walked to the blade and checked the wolfman's body.
The body had dried in the strong wind. The wolfman died holding a black shield in hand and his fur looked like a black coat.
"There was a battle here?" Angele checked the wolfman's body, he found a broken water pouch and some dried flesh. There was also a white wooden amulet with an old look—several words were engraved on its back. They were written in the ancient language and meant: "Remember to wash your feet".
Angele chuckled, it felt like that the wolfman's parents made him the amulet.
He checked the wolfman's feet and could see that there were marks left by blisters on the surface of the wolfman's feet.
Angele moved away from the body and started advancing again. He saw more and more wolfmen on the way. He also found several dead bodies of single-eyed men with dark skin.
He recognized the single-eyed men right away—he had seen some in Eye Devil's party.
Minutes later, some dark-red light appeared in the sky. The boiling dark clouds turned into a humongous spinning vortex, releasing red light from the center.
It was getting dark. The night of the Nightmare Realm fell earlier than the main world's. The red light from a vortex that was surrounded by black clouds in the sky was the only source of light here.
Angele slowed down as there were more and more dead bodies on the ground.
He noticed that there was a floating black vortex in the front.
The vortex looked like a spinning tornado and there were red electric pulses in its center.
It was huge and looked like an enormous black shell that had a diameter of three kilometers.
Under the vortex, there were countless egg-shaped buildings that had the height of more than ten meters. There were creatures that looked like ants moving out of the buildings all the time.
The black buildings looked like black mushrooms growing on a muddy land.
Angele overlooked the area and noticed that there were thousands of black mushrooms. There were also black dragons that were five to six meters long lying among the mushrooms.
Over the black mushrooms, there were hundreds of dark-red dots floating in the air. The largest light dot was a hexagonal platform.
The red dragons around the platform were roaring, their voices sounded identical to the voice of bulls.
The dragons rotated around the platform and it almost looked like they were fishes swimming in water.
WOO*
A loud noise came from behind and a dark shadow covered and Angele's body.
Raising his head, Angele looked at the sky.
A black dragon with a warrior in black armor on its back stopped behind Angele as the dragon was swinging its wings.

Chapter 453: Struggle (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
"An anthropoid? How did you find this place? I thought you'd learn from the loss!" The knight on the dragon's back warned in a deep voice and his voice echoed in the sky.
Angele's brow furrowed. "Are you patrolling the area? Take me to see Eye Devil." He showed the knight his black metal cage.
"Teleportation Device?" The knight was surprised. He tapped on the back of the dragon and red light flashed upon his face. Angele noticed that the knight's head was actually a large white eyeball.
Several seconds later, the red light disappeared from the eyeball, it seemed like the knight was communicating with someone.
"I apologize, Master. I've informed the lords of your arrival. Two of the lords sent you invitations. Lord Bone invites you to his floating platform and Lord Eye Devil invites you to the headquarters."
The dragon knight quickly landed on the ground and lowered his body to show respect.
"Huh? Bone is already here?" Angele glanced at the eyeball knight and scanned him using the biochip.
'Analysis completed. File created. Eyeball Knight. Power level estimation: Mid-level rank 1 wizard. Unknown buffs detected.'
Angele narrowed his eyes.
He did not expect that a random soldier had the same power level as a rank 1 wizard. He wondered how strong the captains in the army would be. He was certain the captains would have the same power level as a rank 3 or a rank 4 wizard.
If Angele's assumption was correct, it was impossible for the wizard world to stop an invasion from the Nightmare Realm. There were probably thousands of soldiers that had the same power level as formal wizards. He noticed that the mushroom buildings were endless on the plain.
Angele looked at the knight and questioned him in a careless tone, "How big is the lords' army? How many soldiers will be sent to the Soul River Realm? Lead me to Bone, you can answer the questions on the way."
"Yes, Master!" The eyeball knight tapped the dragon's head and they flew to the floating platform.
"Lord Eye Devil will send 150,000 soldiers to the Soul River Realm, but Lord Bone's army is much larger than ours."
"Huh? How many soldiers will Bone bring?"
Angele watched the dragon knight fly to the right and noticed that there was a gray floating platform in the air. For some reason, he did not see the platform at the first glance.
He drew a red rune in the air and started flying to the platform as well, following the dragon knight.
"He will bring 25 million bone warriors with him. The bone warriors were separated into 25 teams and they'll enter the Soul River Realm from different access points," the knight responded respectfully. "Lord Eye Devil had an argument with Lord Bone. Lord Bone's army is much larger than he stated in the agreement."
Angele chuckled, but he did not respond. The eyeball knight was probably trying to see whom Angele was supporting. That was the reason why he only gave Angele two choices.
Obviously, Eye Devil and Bone were fighting since Bone broke the agreement. They would try to get as much support as they could.
Angele thought for a while and asked, "Are Vapor and Spider here?"
"They're visiting the Deep Abyss, they'll not participate in the invasion," Eyeball knight answered in a low voice.
The red and black shadows covered the sky. They were rotating slowly and the land turned black. The dragon knights were everywhere in the sky.
Angele looked to the left while advancing. He saw that groups of dragon knights flew to the center of the enormous vortex and disappeared into it.
It looked like a pile of black sesame being dropped into water. No one would know that those black dots were dragons unless they looked closely.
"The teleportation gate is unstable so we can only send the groups one by one. It'll take the gate two more days to stabilize," the eyeball knight explained as he led Angele to the platform.
Several minutes later, a team of dragon knights flew to Angele and stopped on the left.
"Master Phoenix, Lord Bone and his friends are waiting for your arrival. Please follow us to the platform." The leading knight was wearing a black-red armor and there was a huge lance in his hand.
The eyeball knight joined the dragon knights without saying anything. He was just a normal soldier after all.
Angele floated in the air and glanced at the dragon knights. He pursed his lips in a smile.
The dragon knight captain lowered his head. "Welcome to the party, Master Phoenix!"
"Welcome to the party, Master Phoenix!"
"Welcome to the party, Master Phoenix!"
Groups of dragon knights approached Angele and surrounded him in the center. They rotated around him slowly and shouted.
Their voices echoed in the sky for a while.
Angele glanced around, the eyeball knights surrounded him and were just flying around.
There was only one path on the left, the dragon knights were turning into a certain formation.
It was a strange and terrifying path.
The dragon knights went around each other and created a cylinder using the dragons' bodies. The walls of the cylinder were bodies of the dragons.
Angele looked through the tunnel and noticed that Eye Devil was waiting for him by the edge of the floating platform. Eye Devil was wearing a black-purple one piece, she looked like a mysterious princess with a glass of blood wine in hand. She was no longer wearing the mask and Angele finally had the chance to see her attractive face. Angele thought Eye Devil would not be on the floating platform.
On the left of Eye Devil, there was a blonde man wearing a white outfit. Only half of his upper body was covered, he was also drinking a glass of wine and staring at Eye Devil with desire in his eyes.
"Welcome to the party, Master Phoenix!"
The eyeball knights started shouting again.
Bam*
Suddenly, Angele could feel that his heart was pumping after hearing the noise.
It felt like someone was drumming.
"BAM DA BAM DA BAM DA*
The noise made by the drums was deep and loud. It felt like the whole area was impacted by the noise.
The dragon knights that created the path changed their formation again, revealing the black and red sky behind them.
Angele looked in the direction that the noise came from through the gaps between the dragon knights. He could see that someone was drumming on the floating platform. The man roared as he drummed like crazy.
The humongous drum had a diameter of five to six meters. The accessories on his body were all made of skulls.
'Bone?' Angele finally recognized the one that was hitting the drum. He glanced at the Eye Devil and noticed that her expression turned serious. She glared at Bone and left the platform with the wine glass.
The dragon knights were all driven away by the loud noise.
Angele jumped forward and flew to the floating platform.
BAM BAM BAM*
The noise stopped. Bone threw away the sticks, turned around, and looked at Angele.
"Long time no see!" he shouted from the far side.
"Thanks for the ceremony!" Angele smiled and increased his speed.
CHI*
A translucent flying creature that looked like a jellyfish passed by. The creature's body was glowing and it looked like a ghost.
Seconds later, countless blue creatures slowly appeared around Angele's body.
Angele looked at the blue jellyfish and noticed that those creatures were naked women with long hair, dancing in the wind. The strange blue glow and their long hair covered their faces, that was why Angele did not recognize them right away.
'Banshees? Banshees! There are so many of them!' Angele recognized the creatures. Banshees could only be defeated by wizards that were at least at rank 4 in the wizard world and he only read about them in the books he found in the Dark Wizard Tower.
The banshees rotated around Angele and the rest of them were flying around the platform slowly. They looked cold but beautiful.
Several minutes later, he arrived at the floating platform and landed on it with no problem.
The platform was gray and the floor was covered with white bones. It looked like the platform was built like this intentionally.
Bone walked to the center of the platform and sat down by the only table. There were two plates that were full of roasted legs on the table.
"That's all I have. Take a seat and have some meat! Those legs are from the Spinal Dragons of the northern area!" Bone pulled a large piece of meat down a leg and threw it into his mouth.
"To be honest, you and Eye Devil have similar personalities, but I like you. Eye Devil lies too much and I feel tired just talking to her." Bone chuckled. "She lied to me so many times and I only lied to her once, but she still got angry."
Angele smiled but did not say anything. He sat down and looked at the roasted leg. The leg was more than one meter long and he decided to try it out.
Angele grabbed a piece of meat as well and threw it into his mouth; however, he was speechless soon after—the texture of the meat was identical to hard rubber. It was nothing like the rhino meat he had the last time they met.
He applied a lot of force and finally chewed the meat down. It tasted like roasted rubber with no salt and it was not a pleasant experience.
Angele's cheeks ached after finishing the meat and he decided not to grab another piece.
Bone was staring at Angele and looked confused.
"I heard that you brought a huge army with you. Where are your soldiers?" Angele decided to change the topic.
Bone finished his meat and a cunning smile appeared on his face.
"You'll know soon. Don't worry about it."

"There's no point in hiding your army at this point." Angele pursed his lips into a smile.
Bone pulled another piece of meat off the leg and threw it into his mouth.
"What about you? I didn't see your army…" He looked at Angele and spoke with food still in his mouth.
"I didn't bring any." Angele smiled. He would not tell Bone that he did not have an army. "I'm still recovering and I'm not here to show off."
"Well, you're right." Bone nodded, he did not think too deeply about Angele's words. "Whatever, just join my team and I'll give you the right to control one of my groups. We're friends, right? Eye Devil and I will be fighting for the Heart of the Soul River, the only thing you need to do is providing assistance when necessary."
"Five of your groups." Angele pursed his lips. "There's nothing I can do with just one group. I'll help you if you offer five." Angele wanted to act alone and he did not want to join the fight between two of the lords so he asked for something impossible.
"Five? That won't happen." Bone scrunched his brow. "I'll make you the supervisor of my army and you can think again after we enter the Soul River Realm. However, be careful when you're with Eye Devil. She'll never treat you like a real friend."
"Don't worry." Angele chuckled. "One more thing, do you have a map of the Soul River Realm?"
"I do. Here. Copy it down." Bone raised his right hand and a pair of hands appeared in the air, bringing him a yellow scroll.
He grabbed the scroll and handed it over to Angele.
Angele glanced at the hands, they looked like the hands of a female. He grabbed the map and read through it quickly. His brow furrowed as he read.
All the details could be found on the map, it almost looked like the map was created using a satellite.
The was a red dot in the center of the map—it was the teleportation location.
The red dot was surrounded by countless lakes that looked like mirrors. There were also many tall buildings, palaces, and statues.
It seemed like their entrance to the Soul River Realm was the center of a big country or organization.
"We're the invaders to the Soul River Realm. Are you sure this location is fine?" Raising his head, Angele looked at Bone.
Bone licked his oily right hand after finishing all the meat on the table; however, it seemed like he was still hungry.
"Don't worry. We already sent scouts and spies to the area. You'll understand when you're there."
Although Angele was confused, he decided not to ask more questions. He checked the map carefully and memorized all the locations and information before returning it to Bone.
Bone did not grab the map, the woman's hands reappeared and took the map.
Angele looked at the hands but it did not seem like they were connected to a creature.
"Well, is this your… lover or something? That's an interesting hobby," Angele understood who was behind the hands and mocked.
"Cough!" Bone choked on the water that he was drinking, he blushed and glared at Angele.
"I wanted to make you feel better since I don't have an attractive female servant… Anyway, Kura, come and meet the supervisor… He already knew who you're."
"Sure…"
A muscular man that was more than four meters tall appeared beside the table. He used a pair of woman's hands to hold the map.
"Boss, I thought you asked me to hide." He looked at Bone with an honest expression on his face.
"Hide my *ss!" Bone slapped the man's head. "Leave now."
"Alright…" The man was not intelligent. He smiled, turned around, and disappeared into the air with the map.
Angele's cheek twitched, it was more than what he had expected.
"Why don't you just find a banshee or a female… zombie devil…"
"What? Seriously? Banshee and zombie devils are coated with death energy. I thought you outsiders hated the smell." Bone was confused.
"Well, I don't mind that." Angele shook his head.
Death energy would only help Angele progress after he practiced the Erin's Funeral Oration.
"Fine." Bone nodded and moved his lips.
Seconds later, two sexy beauties with clean skin flew to the floating platform, standing beside the two. They were both holding wine and plates in their hands.
They approached the table and poured two glasses of wine for Angele and Bone. They also took the empty plates away.
Angele's nose was filled up by the rotten smell as the two beauties approached the table. It smelled like rotten meat that was cured.
He looked at Bone, but it seemed like Bone was used to such smells. Although the smell was bearable, Angele completely lost his appetite.
"It'll take a while until we can enter the portal. Do you have any unique bones from the undead? Can you give me some of the bones if you don't mind?" Angele was trying to collect as many resources as he could.
The extraction technique of the biochip could help Angele use the rare resources that could not be utilized by the others.
"Bones from the strong undead creatures? You can find a ton of them in my Bone Sea… I can give you whatever you want." Bone waved his hands.
"Oh? Are you sure?" Angele was excited after hearing these words.
"Yeah, sure." Bone waved his hand and one of the bones on the ground flew into his hand. "What about this one? It's a bone from the Son of the Sun. I found it in the dimension fissure." He handed the white bone over to Angele.
Angele grabbed the bone carefully; he could feel the heat from the bone, which was climbing up his right arm like crazy.
"The Son of the Sun…" He had read about the creature in the books, it was a strong being that was born in the center of the sun and released high-temperature heat waves all the time. Those creatures would bring drought to the world—even the ancient wizards feared those terrifying creatures from other realms.
"And this, the neck bone of the Head Bone Dragon." Bone threw a palm-sized white bone to Angele.
"The finger bone of the Hera's Hand! The toe bone of the Star Giant!"
Son of the Sun was the only creature that Angele could recognize. He checked the other bones and none was in his database.
"Those bones…" Bone waved his hand and spoke, "They're yours now!"
Angele swallowed hard and took all the bones. He lined up the bones on the table and observed them carefully.
Those bones had one similarity: they were all surrounded by strong auras.
The bone of the Son of the Sun was extremely hot, the neck bone from the dragon was cold. The finger bone of Hera's hand was translucent, it felt like it could disappear at any time. Lastly, the toe bone of the Star Giant was coated with silver starlight.
"I collected so many bones over the last ten thousand years. I can give you as many bones as you want. My name is Bone and bones are all I have.
"However, I don't think you can extract the power from those bones. You may be able to destroy them, but you can't use them."
"Don't worry. Is there a quiet area here? I want to study those bones," Angele questioned in a deep tone.
"Sure, I can find you a quiet place." Bone waved his hand. "Take my friend to the best lab of the main ship."
"Yes, Master," the female zombie devil responded politely. "Please follow me, Master." She turned around and flew into the sky.
Angele grabbed all the bones and tied them up using energy particles, then followed the female zombie devil to the right.
Two days later…
There was a huge white plate made of bones rotating in the dark sky slowly, making some strange noise.
The white plate was made of countless white bones—the sea of white bones looked like a roof for the plain.
There were many tiny windows on the surface of the white plate, made of translucent barriers.
In a window on the left.
Angele was standing in front of the shell-shaped window, peeking outside in the warm and spacious room.
The black-red vortex was spinning slowly, surrounded by groups of dragon knights. Angele could hear them roaring in the room.
Turning around, he looked like the items on the lab table.
There was a complicated rune circle on the white lab table and the red light released by it surrounded the golden blood ball in the center.
The blood ball was boiling, floating in the air.
Angele walked to the lab table slowly.
"The bloodline essence of the Son of the Sun… I can use it to improve my body if my body is turned into pure elemental energy. Sadly…"
The bloodline of the Son of the Sun was not helpful to Angele at this point. The bloodline was too aggressive and could not be combined with other bloodlines.
He'd have to give up the merged bloodline of the single-eyed giant and the scorpion woman for the bloodline of the Son of the Sun. It would not be a wise idea since he already put so much effort into the merged bloodline.
'I can't absorb it, but I can use it as my final resort. The power of this bloodline is horrifying and I can turn it into a bloodline signet.'
Similar to the bloodline of the Son of the Sun, the other bloodlines were all aggressive. Angele could only use some of the Head Bone Dragon's blood as part of its bloodline could co-exist with other bloodlines.
Angele tried to turn the new bloodlines he collected into bloodline signets; he failed with the bloodline essence of Hera's Hand, but succeeded with the Star Giant.
Also, he was confident in turning the bloodline of the Son of the Sun into a bloodline signet.
Angele would be able to acquire two more trump cards. He named the bloodline of the Star Giant as the Star and the bloodline of the Son of the Sun as Stellar.
He looked at the golden blood on the lab table and suddenly reached into the blood with his hand.
CHI*
It sounded like meat being grilled after he touched the blood and green smoke rose into the air.
Angele remained calm and gripped hard.
BAM*
The golden blood ball exploded. The blood turned into countless golden light dots and sunk into Angele's palm. The light dots turned into a golden string and quickly climbed up his chest.
The golden light dots turned into a pattern that looked like an eclipse on Angele's chest; strangely, the eclipse pattern was releasing golden light and spinning as though it was alive.
Angele lowered his head and looked at the pattern. There was also a silver cross beside the eclipse pattern—it was the signet created by the Star Giant's bloodline—and it was releasing gentle silver light.

Chapter 455: Teleport (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
'It's the same as what I expected. The two bloodlines are so dense and aggressive. I can barely turn them into signets and they're extremely active…' Angele noticed that most strong bloodlines had similar properties as these two, they were dense and invasive.
Angele's single-eyed giant and scorpion woman bloodlines were not dense, so they could merge into each other.
'So, I'll have to focus on a single bloodline if I want to proceed to the next step…' Angele started thinking.
The two new bloodline signets he acquired were all active and it had become a problem.
The main problem was that if he activated the signet during a battle, the bloodline power would be completely consumed and it would be a waste of energy.
Angele was walking the path of the ancient wizard; with the help of the Erin's Funeral Oration, he had a general idea of what he should do. He had no teacher, so he had to proceed with caution. He would only execute his plan when he was fully prepared.
Erin's Funeral Oration was not designed for human beings, after all…
'If I'm going to focus on one bloodline, which one should I choose…' Angele was trying to make an important decision.
He had five choices: the Star Giant bloodline, the Son of the Sun bloodline, the Bone Head Dragon bloodline, the single-eyed giant bloodline, and the scorpion woman bloodline. The other bones he acquired from Bone were weaker than those bloodlines, so he did not consider them.
Based on the general features, the single-eyed giant and the scorpion woman were weaker than the Bone Head Dragon; however, the Bone Head Dragon was weaker than the Star Giant and the Son of the Sun.
Also, single-eyed giant bloodline had already merged into the scorpion woman's bloodline. If Angele gave up the merged bloodline, he would have to start from zero, and the power of his true form would be greatly reduced.
The power of Angele's true form was close to a rank 6 wizard; however, if he gave up the merged bloodline, the power level would drop to the same as a rank 3 wizard. Although he could progress much faster with a high-level bloodline, it still took time.
'I've never heard of the Star Giant and the Bone Head Dragon, but I know that the power of the giants comes with a price. It will take thousands of years for a giant to reach his potential. I won't be able to live that long even if I turn myself into soul form,' Angele analyzed.
'Bone Head Dragon is a dragon; however, dragons take inheritors seriously. The dragon sigil is the most important thing for a dragon and their bloodline is weak without an inheritor's soul. If I can't retrieve the knowledge from the sigil, I won't be able to utilize a dragon's power.
'The Son of the Sun…' Angele liked the Son of the Sun the most.
Based on the information he had, Angele knew that the Son of the Sun made several appearances during the ancient war.
During the wizard war, some ancient wizards communicated with other realms and helped a Son of the Sun teleport his shadow to the wizard world. The arrival of the shadow brought drought to the world and some of the creatures were burnt into ashes under the high temperature. The situation would be worse if the wizard who communicated with the Son of the Sun had stronger power.
Angele was struggling, he did not want to just give up the merged bloodline…
"Whatever… I can wait until I come back from the Soul River Realm… Cough…" Angele started coughing again, the frost damage from the eye-gouging dragon made him uncomfortable again.
"Wait… The aggressive bloodline of Son of the Sun may be able to help me with the frost damage…" Angele muttered as he cleaned the rune circle from the table.
Angele was a wizard, but he was still a human being. If he could not refine his soul, he would not be able to surpass the bloodline owners' power level.
Sons of the Sun were extinguished years ago and it was nearly impossible for Angele to meet one that was still alive.
Angele made sure that no one noticed that he was extracting the bloodline and returned to the window, staring at the rotating vortex. He decided to wait for the teleportation by meditating.
After about three hours, the white plate suddenly vibrated.
A deep voice echoed in the ship.
"Zombie Lord Marco of Group Three, please prepare to enter the portal…. Also, get ready, Group Four…"
Thunder was rumbling outside the window and there were countless black dots that looked like ants below the clouds. They were all heading to the vortex.
Angele looked at the black dots and noticed that they were enormous bats.
The bats flew to the vortex, they looked like flies charging to a light bulb. There were countless black bats in Angele's sight.
WOO*
A bat passed by the window, it rotated in the air several times and joined the crowd.
WOO*
A strange noise that sounded like it was from a horn echoed in the air.
BAM BAM BAM*
Angele could hear loud but slow footsteps from below.
Giants that were more than ten meters tall were slowly walking to the vortex on the ground.
The giants had gray skin and muscular bodies. Their heads looked like giant eggshells with heads of infants inside. Those heads were glancing around curiously.
Each giant looked like an infant wearing a large astronaut suit.
The giants were advancing slowly and there were white wolves passing by.
The noise made by the army was extremely loud, all soldiers were heading to the vortex without any hesitation.
Angele stopped meditating and looked at the scene quietly.
Giants, wolves, black bats, and Eye Devil's eyeball dragon knights, they were all moving into the vortex slowly.
They looked like white and black rivers.
"Master Green, are you ready? We're about to enter the portal." A crisp female voice came from outside.
Angele turned around. "Come in."
KA*
The door opened by itself and there was a girl with long black hair standing by the door.
The girl was wearing a white dress, but there was no expression on her face. The stinky smell from the girl's body permeated the air as the door opened.
Angele walked passed the girl like he did not notice the smell.
"Let's go. I assume Bone has already prepared everything."
"Yes, master," the girl responded in a cold tone.
"Thank you for taking care of me when we were waiting," Angele said as he walked.
"My pleasure, I hope you don't mind the smell…" The girl was emotionless but it sounded she was complaining for some reason.
Angele noticed the change, he suddenly stopped and glanced at the girl.
"You were a human being, right? It doesn't make sense. You have a nice body but it does stink." He raised his right hand and grabbed the girl's chin. "Don't worry, I can ask Bone to make you my maid if you don't mind. I don't care about the smell."
The girl's expression loosened, it seemed like she was surprised.
She had no idea how she should react to Angele's words.
Angele rubbed the girl's cheek, lowered his hand, and started moving again.
The girl finally realized what Angele just said, she was not angry at all. She was happy that someone liked her.
The girl knew that people around her hated her after she became a zombie devil. The stink and the dirt on her body would never go away. She grew up in the Bone Sea and no one had ever praised her once. The creatures could not handle the smell from her body since it was worse than the smell of the banshees.
The girl had never considered herself as a beauty and a zombie lord's appearance would change when the others looked at her in different ways. If a man thought she was ugly, she would become ugly in the man's eyes. She had already gotten used to it over the years.
It was the first time that someone ignored the smell from her body and treated her like a beautiful woman. The girl was surprised, excited, and confused at the same time.
She had never been treated like a woman and almost forgot that she was a woman. She stared at Angele with happiness in her eyes.
Banshees and female zombie devils would try their best to get the things they wanted.
Angele did not notice that his words had completely changed the zombie devil's thought. He was just trying to cheer her up since she was once a human being.
He walked down the hallway and reached the exit by the end within minutes.
Angele stood by the exit, the strong wind made his hair and long robe dance in the air.
"Let's move, Phoenix!" Bone's shaky voice came from the top.
Angele chuckled and raised his head.
He noticed that there was a ball of green flame flying to the vortex under the dark clouds and Bone was in the center of the flame.
Angele quickly took out the black metal cage and threw it forward.
WOO*
The cage turned into a large metal cage that could fit one person, the cage was surrounded by green flames and there was an entrance on its surface.
Angele turned into a ball of red flame and entered the cage.
BAM*
The green flames around the cage turned red and the cage left the exit right away. The cage looked like a red star. It drew a red string in the air and flew to the vortex.
Two other purple stars appeared in the sky, they joined the red and green star. They were all heading to the vortex and the light they released brightened up the land.
Angele stood in the cage, he leaned and grabbed the metal bars tightly. He slowly turned around and leaned against the metal bars, staring at the dark sky.
The cage was shaking constantly and Angele could feel the intense vibration. The cage was traveling at full speed and there were several bats rotating around it like bodyguards.
Angele could see that the edge of the cage was coated with yellow flames—the scene was quite strange.
Several minutes later, he felt like he dropped into a pool of warm water. It was actually a sea of pure dark energy.

Chapter 456: Teleport (3)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
The sky was orange.
The light from the setting sun illuminated the clouds, they looked like boiling blood.
A hole appeared in the sky above a beautiful silver city, spurting out countless black dots, which looked like insects leaving their nest.
The black dots gathered and turned into a black cylinder that connected to the sky. The cylinder was spinning slowly.
On the balcony of a luxurious palace, there was a woman in white dress with a platinum crown on her head. She was wearing a pair of long white gloves and staring at the black cylinder.
"The prophet was right… The disaster is here…" The woman did not open her mouth but her voice echoed in the air.
A knight in silver armor appeared behind the woman—he kneeled and spoke in a loud voice, "Your Highness! The guards are ready, please head to the sanctuary now!"
"Don't worry. I want to see how this disaster is going to destroy our home. I'll memorize everything I see!" the woman responded in a deep tone. "My father and my mother spend all day dealing with the political wars but no one expected that the disaster will start at my country, the South Cross Empire…"
BOOM*
Something vibrated in the red sky and the clouds were moving much faster than before.
CHI*
A green star pierced through the clouds and flew to the city.
CHI CHI CHI*
Two purple stars and one red star also pierced through the clouds, dropping to the city.
Cry*
It sounded like an infant was crying.
Giants with the heads of infants slowly walked out of the cylinder, they shouted and cried. Greed and excitement filled up their eyes. It seemed like they knew that the Soul River Realm had a much better environment than the Nightmare Realm.
Some of the giants kneeled and grabbed some white mud, sniffing at the muddy fragrance.
"A realm with a clean environment! Go! My children!" A strange voice echoed in the sky; this neutral voice was neither male nor female.
"Princess! We must leave!" The knight in silver armor sounded anxious.
The princess glanced at the red sky, hesitated for a second, and turned around, walking to the exit of the balcony.
She suddenly stopped before leaving the balcony. "Where are my brother and my father?"
"The King and the Prince are preparing for the war," the knight responded right away.
The princess remained silent for a while.
"I'll avenge them!" She left the balcony quickly and started running. Tears ran down her cheeks as she disappeared into the hallway.
The dark monsters with bats in their hands were destroying the buildings in the center of the silver city. Dust would splash in the air every time they hit a building.
The well-decorated silver buildings fell as the residents of the city screamed while running.
The black bats rotated in the sky, they picked up the residents and bit them into pieces, dropping the remains to the ground.
Only two areas of the city were still trying to fight back, the rest of the city had already fallen. The residents were slaughtered like pigs.
Angele was the red star, he fell as he watched the beautiful city being destroyed by the monsters.
The warriors wearing crystal armor did not fear the death, they charged forward in the explosions and tried to stop the bats or dragon knights; however, none of them could handle the attacks from the infant giants.
The knights were like toys in front of the giants. They were slapped to the walls and ground, turning into piles of blood mixed with flesh.
There were many tall buildings that looked like towers in the city; however, none of them stood a chance against the giants' strikes.
The city had a diameter of more than three thousand kilometers and looked like a large silver pancake from the sky. However, the pancake was being devoured by the invaders that looked like ants.
Angele held the metal bar tightly and changed the direction slightly.
A strange pressure that came from nowhere was making him anxious. Also, he noticed that his power level was reduced to a rank 2 wizard.
The city was getting larger and larger in Angele's sight as he moved closer.
'The pressure is from the realm difference I think. My body structure is not used to the rules of nature in a completely different realm. I guess that's how the realm protects its ecosystem,' Angele thought as he started landing. The cage was still surrounded by red flames.
The flames were getting more and more intense as the cage's altitude reduced.
Angele checked the city that just turned into a mess, he hesitated and turned left with the cage.
The energy waves in the city were all over one thousand degrees and some of the group leaders were releasing energy waves that were over five thousand degrees. Angele told others that he was in sealed form—they would realize that he was lying if he was damaged by the energy waves.
Eye Devil would probably capture him and devour him during a party.
Bone was treating Angele well, however, he would just kill Angele and collect the bones if he found out the truth.
There was no point for Angele to approach the battlefield, he decided to go to the edge of the city.
It was a hill that was covered with green grasses and there was a lonely building on the hill.
Angele could see the fear and desperation in the mortals' eyes through the fire. A man with a muscular body was screaming and crying as he looked at the red star. There were two boys hiding behind him.
"Run!" the man shouted at the boys like crazy.
Angele landed on the ground as he had no time to change the direction.
BOOM*
The left side of the building was crushed and a large smoking hole with a diameter of more than 30 meters appeared on the ground. Angele's landing almost killed the man.
The hole was filled up with flames and lava drops. It looked like a small molten pool.
PA*
Angele stood up from the lava pool and his long robe was destroyed, the only thing left on his body was the pouch.
Angele looked confused. He was naked and the bottom half of his body was in the lava pool.
The lava was just warm water to Angele since his attributes were extremely high.
"Where am I?" Angele spoke in the universal language of the Soul River Realm. He learned the language before entering the portal. Bone and Eye Devil all learned the languages of the realms they invaded in the past. It was important that they could communicate with the locals.
Angele raised his hand and created a dark-red armor using the lava from the pool.
He stepped out of the hole and lava was dripping down his long red hair. The lava drops were smoking on the ground.
Angele looked at the man, it was just a mortal from the Soul River Realm. His skin was burnt under the high temperature and blood was coming out of his ears. It seemed like he could no longer hear anything but he was still holding a blade in hand, facing Angele.
WOO*
Suddenly, the vibrating noise came from the sky again.
Raising his head, Angele stared at the sky—there were countless green light dots around the black smoke cylinder.
Green light dots, bloody red sky, black smoke cylinder, and a destroyed city—the place had turned into a nightmare.
"We're the believers of the lord, we shall never give up, and we shall fight until the last minute. There's always hope in our mind. We can open the sky with the key of destiny, even if the land is cracked, the sun is blocked…" the man was saying something in a shaky tone.
One of the boys behind the man was also saying something with a thick book in hand. It seemed like they were relying on the lord they talked about; they were approaching Angele.
Angele was not sure how he should react as he looked at the book in the boy's hand. The title of the book was: The Bible.
Strangely, it was the first time Angele met the three, but he could feel that the three were sending refreshing energy waves into his body. It felt like he was connected to the three by some invisible energy particles.
The energy waves kept entering Angele's body but disappeared within seconds; also, the scorpion woman's bloodline was strengthened in his body.
Angele recalled the day he met Eye Devil for the first time. Eye Devil was scared when he was about to activate the scorpion woman's bloodline signet and it seemed like this bloodline had a mysterious background.
The scorpion woman's bloodline was being strengthened by the energy that was sent into his body from the three strangers.
However, the energy waves weakened as they read the sentences from the bible.
Angele ordered the chip in mind.
'Zero, analyze the energy movement.'
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes.
'Analysis completed, the terror mentality wave is absorbed by an unknown gene in your body, and your body is strengthened.'
Angele was a bit surprised. He checked the condition and noticed that his true form had become stronger. The height of the true form reached seven meters and the attributes of the true form increased. It only took around ten seconds for the procedure and Angele would need a year to accomplish something like this under normal circumstances.
'Wait, maybe the scorpion woman's bloodline is the…' Angele remembered something. 'The bloodline of the magic energy race that can strengthen themselves using strong emotions…'
Magic energy race was a general name for the races with such power. They could absorb the strong emotions and strengthen themselves at an incredibly fast rate. However, the bloodlines of the magic energy races had never become the strongest bloodlines in history and they were extinguished for some reason.
Dang*
Angele was interrupted as a blade hit his left shoulder.
The man was blown away by the impact, hitting the wall on the side, and could barely stand up again.
"Father!" The two boys ran to the man immediately; they looked anxious.
WOO*
It sounded like a bull was shouting and there were dragons swinging their wings.
"Mirror in the River! Ha! There is a Mirror in the River here!" An eyeball knight started shouting in the ancient language.
Angele did not look at the three, he turned around and quickly moved in the direction of the voice.
After moving for several minutes, he noticed that two eyeball dragon knights were attacking a golden carriage on the ground.
There were two warriors in heavy black armor around the carriage, they were around three meters tall and looked like berserkers. They were holding shields and axes in hands.
Every time they traded strikes with the eyeball dragon knights, they would make some loud noise and scars would be left on their armor. Blood was leaking out of the gaps in their armors, dropping to the ground.
Angele slowly flew to the scene and the red armor turned black after the lava cooled down. He noticed that one of the eyeball knights looked a bit different. He was riding a red dragon and it seemed like he was an elite eyeball dragon knight.
The ones that were fighting quickly noticed Angele's presence.
"…Supervisor!" the elite eyeball dragon knight spoke in a polite tone and bowed to Angele slightly.
"You should go to the palace, there's no good loot here…"

The other dragon knight also put his right hand in front of his chest and bowed to Angele. Although Angele was just a supervisor, the knights would still respect him as he was a friend of the lords.
The knights that were guarding the carriage looked hopeless. The door of the carriage was slowly opened, revealing a girl wearing a black dress. The girl was holding an egg-shaped mirror in hand, fear written all over her pale face.
Angele glanced at the ground. There were more than ten dead bodies of the knights in black armor lying on the green grass which was soaked in their blood.
"Mirror in the Lake… I already heard your conversation… Don't you think you should share the treasure with me?" He gave the elite dragon knight a cold glare.
"I'm Maharaj, an elite dragon knight, and I'm not going to share the treasure." The elite dragon knight sneered. "You're a sealed form, but the Mirror in the Lake is mine!"
"Huh?" Angele narrowed his eyes. "Are you trying to start a battle?"
"Lord Eye Devil respects you but she never takes anything from us… It's the only chance that we can get our hands on some treasure…" the elite knight said as he untied the long spear from his back.
"As a captain of the elite dragon knights, I want to know why the Lord respects you so much! You're still in your sealed form after all…"
He licked his lips and it seemed like he was serious.
The other eyeball knight also untied the long spear from his back, it seemed like they did not use all their power when fighting against the mortals.
'A captain?' Angele was slightly surprised, he did not expect to meet a captain of the elite dragon knights that served Eye Devil. The elite dragon knight probably had the same power level as a rank 4 wizard. Although the knight was weaker than the elders he met at the dinner party, he was still an elite among the soldiers.
Angele was having trouble with the frost damage and he was not sure if he could win the battle…
'Mirror in the Lake is a storage item that is used to keep a large amount of resources and rare items. I can use it to store my items and materials… Also, this item is rare even in the Nightmare Realm. They thought I'm at the same level as the lords and I can't just back off from their challenge…' Angele's head ached, he thought the knights that served Eye Devil would at least respect his words.
However, he could understand why the monsters would risk their lives for the treasures. The realm difference had already weakened those monsters and they would not just give up the reward that they were about to acquire for no reason.
Those monsters did not fear death.
"Alright then, come and fight me…" Angele narrowed his eyes but he did not move an inch. Silver light flashed on his chest.
The elite eyeball knight chuckled, he looked crazy.
"Let's go! Karen!" He patted the dragon.
Roar*
The dragons and the knights charged at Angele; wings appeared on the handles of the spears in their hands. The wings swung several times and released some mysterious energy waves.
Angele quickly moved his right hand and pressed his chest.
A ball of silver light exploded in the air—it turned into liquid and dropped to the ground, transforming into a twisted rune.
BAM BAM*
Two silver cylinders came from the sky and flew to the two eyeball knights.
The terrifying energy pierced through the clouds and turned into two bright silver light cylinders.
Wind was blowing grass and mud into the air and it felt like the carriage was about to collapse. The two knights in black armor lowered their bodies and pushed the wheels of the carriages, making sure that the carriage would not be blown away by the strong wind.
A roar that sounded like it was from a tiger came from the right when the two silver light cylinders were about to hit the eyeball knights.
"Wait!" It sounded like the tiger was speaking in the ancient language.
Angele sneered, he had already fully activated the bloodline signet of the Star Giant.
The silver light cylinders landed on the ground and a black shadow charged to the cylinders at the same time.
BOOM*
Mud splashed in the black smoke and the intense silver light blurred the area.
Angele waved his hand and used the wind to clear the scene.
The two eyeball knights and the black shadow were erased from the world, nothing was left on the ground.
Silver light was flashing under Angele's feet, originating from some silver spikes.
It was the one-time effect of the Star Giant's bloodline signet. The creatures that were in the effective range would be considered enemies and attacked by the terrifying silver light cylinders.
"Come if you want to die." Angele snorted and looked at the black shadow.
There were two giants with serious expressions on their faces standing in the shadow. They were wearing red armor and their teeth were sharp. It seemed like they were servants of Eye Devil, they both had the power level of a rank 4 wizard.
Angele needed to end the battle as fast as possible, the bloodline power of the Star Giant would run out in ten minutes.
He walked to the carriage and looked at the girl in a black dress.
"Hand it to me… The Mirror in the Lake!"
The girl gritted her teeth; she did not say anything, but it seemed like she would not let the black mirror in her arms go.
WOO*
Angele heard some noise made by the wind from behind.
Balls of black shadow rose from the land and charged to Angele, they surrounded him in the center and tried to attack him with their claws.
BAM BAM BAM*
Silver light cylinders that varied in size landed on the ground. Angele stood by the carriage calmly, staring at the girl in black dress. He slowly raised his hands.
"No!" The girl's eyes turned white, she jumped to Angele with the mirror in arms, and an unstable energy wave surrounded her body.
BOOM*
A bright silver cylinder landed on the ground and the black mirror flew into the air. It rotated several times in the air and landed in Angele's hands.
"It's mine since it's already in my hands." He looked at the two giants in the shadow. "I'll let you go since you serve Eye Devil. Leave now…"
The giants, who were more than ten meters tall, hesitated for a second and disappeared into the shadow.
BAM BAM*
Two more silver light cylinders landed on the ground and eliminated the knights that were guarding the carriage.
Angele exhaled slowly and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
'I acquired the bloodline signet not so long ago and it's already gone… I should probably stay away from the battlefield. I need to collect more information and study the power of the terror…'
The power of the Star Giant boiled in his body and it felt like the power would leave it at any time. Angele felt like his body had turned into a bright fireball.
Angele's organs were slightly damaged and he would be severely injured if he activated the bloodline twice in a day. It would take him years to recover.
BAM BAM*
Suddenly, Angele heard a deep and slow noise from the far side.
It was from the area outside the city.
Angele flew to the air and increased the altitude. He looked at the direction that the noise came from and his expression turned serious.
An enormous gray turtle was slowly moving to the city on the vibrant green grass. Strangely, the size of the turtle was horrifying, Angele was about ten kilometers away from the turtle, but it filled up his sight.
There were tall green trees that varied in width and size over the turtle's back. There was also mud and grass below the trees. Angele also saw a river between the trees and rabbits eating grass.
Although the back of the turtle was green, the vibrant grass around the turtle turned into cracked gray land and it felt like the turtle was surrounded by an aura of death.
The whole area around the turtle all turned gray and all the plants dried out. The only color left in Angele's sight was gray.
AH*
It sounded like there was a woman giving birth to a child and the noise echoed in the air.
Raising his head, Angele overlooked the area. He noticed that it was Eye Devil who was screaming. Her body was growing quickly and she almost looked like a balloon. Eye Devil's height increased from one meter to more than 100 meters within seconds.
Dense red bone armor appeared on her smooth body. She was almost one thousand meters tall and stood in the center of the city like a bar that connected the land and the sky.
Crack*
Eye Devil's body cracked in the middle and a red eyeball slowly appeared from the wound. The eyeball rolled, observing the surroundings carefully.
Eye Devil's face was covered by the bone armor and Angele could only see red light spurting out of her helmet through the gaps.
Roar*
The turtle raised its head and its voice made the earth shake.
Roar Roar Roar*
Angele heard the same voices from three other directions. It sounded like they were communicating.
"War… War never ended…" Eye Devil spoke, her voice was echoing in the sky. "Inpulous! I'm glad that you're still alive!"
"I'll bury you here this time!" Four turtles opened their mouths at the same time, their voices sounded like an old man's.
Angele's expression changed as he detected the strong energy movement. He disappeared into flames quickly and moved to an empty hill.
He moved for about ten kilometers and landed in front of a small bush, staring at Eye Devil and the turtle.
"That must be Eye Devil's true form…" Angele spoke with a serious expression on the face. He could see the translucent flames burning around Eye Devil's body and her movements would create energy vortexes that were extremely powerful. Her flame breath could easily destroy this land.
Eye Devil created fireballs with her force field and the fireballs were dropping to the ground. Angele felt like he was witnessing the end of this realm.

Chapter 458: Sneaking in (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Eye Devil and the turtle flew into the air after their short conversation.
The cloud was blown away by the intense wind, revealing a blood-red sky. The five huge creatures flew into the sky, turning into tiny light dots.
Angele raised his head and looked at the dots with a serious expression on the face.
'It seems like they don't want to hurt their own armies so they decided to find a better battlefield. I wonder where Bone is…' He looked over the whole silver city—it was a mess, Angele could hear people screaming and smell the blood in the air.
However, he had no idea where Bone was.
Angele stood on the vibrant grass; behind him was a quiet forest. The scene was completely different from the terrifying situation in the city.
He thought for a while, took out a green skull of a human being from the pouch, and pressed on the eyes of the skull slightly.
"Phoenix? What's the matter? Are you going to accept my offer?" Bone's voice came from the skull.
"No, but I have a question. Eye Devil's true form is still recovering, right? How's her progress?" Angele questioned in a deep tone.
"Eye Devil?" Bone thought for a while and responded, "Her true form is different, it's larger than usual; also, she has the female troll's bloodline in his body. I guess what you saw was her refined true form. Don't worry, you usually see her in her unrefined true form, and her large body comes from her refined true form."
"Refined true form?" Angele felt relieved. "I thought it was her unrefined true form…"
"That'd be impossible!" Bone chuckled. "She's slightly stronger than us, but that's it. Also, I already arrived at the Crystal City. Why don't you come and join me? There are many rare resources here… and I can share them with you…" Before Bone finished his words, Angele suddenly heard that something was vibrating.
"Lord Bone… Come… Meet your old friend…" A high-pitched male voice came from the skull.
"Urpara! Why do you even come here? You were seriously injured the last time and you'll die if you don't leave now!"
Bone sneered.
"Alright, a fool is trying to attack me for love and justice… I need to eliminate him now. Ah, one more thing, be careful, I've noticed what happened to you. Someone else might go after you." The skull broke into pieces as Bone finished his words.
Angele's expression turned serious; he looked at the sky, Eye Devil and the four old turtles had already disappeared. It seemed like they were fighting in the sky. He could see some black and waves exploding in the sky like fireworks.
The aura of the Star Giant signet would last for one more minute.
'I can't waste time like this, I need to move now…' Angele glanced around and quickly disappeared into the forest.
KA*
The bushes were slashed down, Angele took out the black mirror as he ran. He reached into the mirror with his hand quickly.
His hand moved into the mirror without any problem, it felt like stirring the water in a vase.
An item appeared in Angele after he stirred for a while, it was a piece of black ore with silver dots on the surface.
Crack*
Angele broke it easily, revealing a white and smooth pearl.
The pearl was releasing some gentle white light and its surface was covered with complicated patterns. The patterns looked like vines with spider webs on the surface.
"What's this…?" Angele's brow furrowed, he quickly scanned the item using the biochip.
'An edible item with strong life energy inside,' Zero quickly concluded.
Angele did not look at the item, he threw it into his mouth right away.
The pearl turned into a ball of sweet sticky liquid. The liquid ran down Angele's throat, but nothing happened.
Angele reached into the mirror with his hand again. He took out a black helmet that was made of wood.
He then took out a silver sword, a piece of chest armor, a bottle of black seeds, and a football-sized gem.
Angele took out all the items that were stored in the mirror and tied it to his belt. He suddenly stopped and disappeared into flames after detecting some movement ahead.
"Huh?" someone spoke from the deep forest.
Two old men in green robes stepped out of the bushes after some noise, they were checking the area that Angele was standing at.
"A teleportation ability?" The old man on the left wondered.
"There's a sulfurous smell in the air." He sniffed.
"We have no time to waste. We need to get to the silver city as soon as possible. Let's move!" the old man on the right spoke in a deep tone.
They started moving to the silver city again. Their bodies were coated with a green glow and their feet were not moving—tentacles spurted out of their legs and supported their bodies instead. They almost looked octopuses moving forward with their tentacles attached to the ground and the tree trunks.
The two old men disappeared into the forest within seconds.
After about ten minutes, a fireball appeared at the location Angele had been standing at. The fire turned into a human being quickly. It was Angele with his long red hair and white robe.
He stopped looking at the bushes that the two old men disappeared into and started advancing again.
"Eye Devil, Bone, and the other lords are much stronger than me… I should stay away from the battlefield just like I planned." He sighed, increased his speed, and moved to an unfamiliar direction.
In the vibrant green forest, there was a large jade statue standing among the tall trees.
It was a half-naked young woman with a long bow in hand. It looked like she was about to move forward and the bottom half of her body was covered by a white skirt. The woman's long hair and pretty face were quite attractive.
The statue was holding a long bow in a hand and there was a small city in the center of the woman's other palm.
In the center of the city, there was a white building that looked like a temple. There were half-naked men and women walking around the temple.
In a large bush around the statue, Angele was staring at the statue through the gaps between the leaves.
"It's beautiful…" He sighed as he looked at the statue. The statue was at least ten thousand meters tall; he was about ten kilometers away from the statue, but he could see every detail of it.
The bushes were several meters tall and the enormous trees were thousands of meters tall. The plants in the area were all humongous.
Angele noticed the plants around were getting taller and taller as he walked. It felt like entering the kingdom of giants.
He thought he was shrinking in size, however, it was the vegetation that was increasing in size.
Angele looked at the city on the statue's palm and checked the information.
'The Goddess of Hunt… This must be the place. I heard that there's no strong army guarding the place but there is a large library here. I should go collect the information I need.'
He could see a waterfall running down the palm but he did not find any ladder. It seemed like no one was leaving the city and no one would try to enter it.
According to the information Angele acquired from Eye Devil, there was no rare item in the temple, and the books stored in the library were just general information, so the lords would not focus on this area.
However, it was the perfect target for Angele.
Angele checked the surroundings, took out a green potion, and drank it all.
CHI*
After the noise that sounded like water being evaporated, Angele's body slowly disappeared into the air.
He raised his right hand, but could not even see his own palm.
Angele stretched his body, jumped forward, and flew to the temple.
The place was extremely quiet, it felt like the people in the temple did not notice that there was a war going on. There were rabbits and deer running around the trees.
Angele tried not to touch the trees or tall bushes as he moved to the city on the palm.
A strange scene appeared around Angele as he got closer to the city.
He saw fish that were more than one meter long swimming on the grass. It felt like the air was water for them. There were also shellfish with water spurting out of their shells. Also, those shellfish were swimming in the air.
More and more fishes appeared as he approached the statue.
Angele dodged the fishes carefully as he was flying in the air.
About half an hour later, he finally reached the temple on the palm.
The temple was quiet, he saw several men and women in white outfits walking around, and there was a large shrine in the center of the white buildings.
A group of priests wearing white outfits was cutting a flying fish open while chanting some strange incantation.
Angele moved passed the men in white without making any noise. Those people had the same power level as a rank 1 wizard and it was impossible for them to detect Angele.
No one was guarding the shrine, the only people Angele found were the priests.
Angele moved to the left of the shrine and entered it through a small door. He started searching for the things he needed right away.
Minutes later, he entered a hallway with a black gate by the end. A white cat with two heads was sleeping in front of the gate.
Angele approached the gate, looked at the cat, and pressed on the surface of the black gate. The gate slowly opened without making any noise.
He entered the gate and closed it slowly, then started observing the room carefully.

Chapter 459: Sneaking in (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Glowing white books were lined up on the wooden bookshelves. All the books were thick like dictionaries.
'Finally, this must be the library.' Angele felt relaxed, he flew to the bookshelves and started reading from the first shelf on the left.
God's Song, Jonna's Moon, Anserine Collection, World Structure…
Most of the books were poems or lyrics that were praising the God, only some of them were related to general theories.
Angele checked the books and scanned more than 30 of them into the database.
He had a general idea of the Soul River Realm after reading the books.
Also, Angele had a better way to check his power level with the help of the theories he discovered.
In the Soul River Realm, a class that was named Light Priest had the similar power level as a rank 4 wizard in the wizard world.
Light Priests were the most respected priests in the countries; there were also Star Priests and Moon Priests who were at lower ranks. It seemed like the Light Priest was the highest rank a mortal could reach in the Soul River Realm.
After doing some comparison, Angele realized that the Soul River Realm was similar to the west coast of the wizard world.
Light Priests were rare here and the rest of the priests were like rank 1 or rank 2 wizards.
'So, I can check the power level of the lords now…' Angele thought as he read a book about the history.
Creatures with power level higher than Light Priests were considered as Realm Gods. The four turtles were Sea God 1 , there were also Goddess of Hunt and God of Sky—they were all guardians of this land and the first several living beings that appeared in this realm.
There was a total of three Gods here and people built many temples for them in the Soul River Realm.
God of Sky was relatively weak but he had the ability to predict the future. Urpara was the God of Hunt and Inpulous was the Sea God, they were Gods of Wars. Angele heard their names earlier.
Angele's expression suddenly changed as he turned the page.
Rows of complicated information were listed on top of the page; below the information, there was a photo of a war.
'Sea God Year 77651, dimension fissure was detected by the temple. Monsters of the Nightmare Realm invaded our land. The Elder Priest sacrificed his body and soul to summon a strong being that was called Yale from the wizard realm. Yale said that he was the son of the earth and people called him the Red Wizard.
'Sea God Year 77692, the Red Wizard defeated and expelled Evil Sword Vapor with the help of the Goddess. Red Wizard was a rank 8 wizard. He was severely injured when he returned to the wizard world. The Goddess fell in love with the Red Wizard during the war. They had one child that was named St. Shirota. That was the start of the Holy Family…'
'Wait… The ancestor of the Holy Family was a rank 8 wizard…' Angele turned the pages quickly but he found nothing else that was related to the Red Wizard.
However, Soul River Realm was invaded multiple times thereafter and the inheritors were all eliminated.
According to the information Angele found in the books, Anglee assumed that the Gods of this realm had the similar power level as a rank 8 wizard.
They used a certain ritual to summon a strong wizard from the wizard world and defeated the monsters of the Nightmare Realm together.
According to the record, there were four invasions in the last 20,000 years.
The priests of the Soul Realm had to summon strong beings from other realms to help them fight the monsters and the rank 8 wizard was summoned during the Holy Light War.
'Which means, the Red Wizard might be a strong wizard from the underground world. His power was also weakened when he came to this realm, but he could defeat the lords of the Nightmare Realm with the help of the Goddess.'
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes, he quickly analyzed the power level information he collected from the books and created a system.
'Bone and Eye Devil's refined true forms probably have the same level as a rank 8 top-level wizard. The Sea God and the Goddess of Hunt are also at rank 8.
'If Eye Devil's true form is always active just like Bone told me, according to the Erin's Funeral Oration, Eye Devil's true form had the similar power level as a rank 5 or rank 6 wizard. The situation should be the same for the other wizards.'
Angele quickly analyzed.
'If everything is correct, my true form had the similar power level as Eye Devil since the power level of my true form is the same as a rank 6 wizard. The true form's power was improved greatly when it advanced to rank 4 and it became even stronger after reaching rank 6. With the help of the Erin's Funeral Oration, I know what I should do. However, I have no idea how my true form will advance to the next rank…'
Also, Angele noticed that he could enter the Nightmare Realm however he wanted after his true form was strengthened.
The problem was that Angele's real form was weak in the wizard world.
'My soul will be strengthened after I reach rank 4, but what about rank 6—or even rank 8? I have no idea…' Angele narrowed his eyes. 'In the Nightmare Realm, I have the Erin's Funeral Oration, and I can keep advancing with my true form; also, my true form is full of potential.'
Angele was trying to make a perfect plan in mind. 'I don't care if I'll become a monster in the wizards' mouths… Power is the only thing that matters…' He decided to focus on the Nightmare Realm instead of the main world.
The path of wizards was full of blocks and Angele already lost his direction; however, the path of the ancient wizards was clear.
Angele closed the book and made sure that no one would know he read the books.
The information from the books helped him a lot.
Angele had a deeper understanding of the rank 5, rank 6, and rank 8 wizards.
Rank 4 separated a strong wizard from a normal wizard and the true form separated a strong bloodline wizard from a normal bloodline wizard.
The power of the true forms was different from the power of the wizards. Rank 5 and rank 6 were considered as just one rank for the true form, it was the creation of the natural magic patterns.
It was mentioned in the Erin's Funeral Oration that after rank 4, Angele needed to create the magic patterns on his body in a natural way. The magic patterns would only appear when his bloodline was dense and extremely pure.
Angele learned a lot from the information he just collected.
Magic patterns would appear in one's genes when his true form reached rank 5 or rank 6. According to the strange cells he found in the skeleton soldier's body, he would reach the top-level of rank 6 after his cells were covered with the natural magic patterns.
This level was called Undead True Form on the Erin's Funeral Oration.
Angele would be able to be reborn even if his physical body was cut into pieces as long as the magic patterns on his cells were not destroyed. At this point, only spells that would eliminate his soul would threaten his life.
At rank 7, his body and soul would become one. His soul would never die under normal circumstances and he could easily live for more than ten thousand years. He would be able to quickly recover even if his body was destroyed as long as part of his soul was still alive. Also, his body would be strengthened.
At rank 8, according to the description on the war history and the Erin's Funeral Oration, he would be able to reach the rank with a refined true form. The magic patterns inside his body and soul would become part of the realm power. Also, rank 8 was probably the highest for a living being.
The magic patterns in his body had to be unique and the magic runes he created would be strengthened greatly at that point.
After reaching rank 8, he would be able to start a ritual and summon the things he needed.
For example, magic patterns would appear when one's true form reached a certain level. Those magic patterns had no power in them, but they would be unique.
After he reached rank 8, the useless magic patterns would no longer act as decorations, they would become the core of his rune circle.
Strong beings over rank 8 would be able to detect the rune circle as long as they were not interrupted by special auras. Those magic patterns were similar to fingerprints.
Eye Devil had them, Bone had them, Eye of the Destruction also had them.
Blue light dots disappeared from his eyes and Angele's expression slowly loosened.
'That's why a rank 8 wizard can fight with the Gods… He had the similar power as the Realm Gods…'
Also, others would be able to identify him through the special power of the magic patterns.
They were like the Gods and Demons from the legends. Different Gods or Demons all had their own special signs or features.
'It's no longer following the rules of the realms. It's a way to become the rulers of the realms. When a level 8 wizard or a Realm God arrived at a new realm, he would become the strongest being of the realm, or the realm might be destroyed.'
It was the same as inserting an irregular brick into a small wooden house. The house would collapse if the brick was too large.
'Which means, the ancient rank 8 wizards' power was greatly reduced by the realm power.' Angele inhaled deeply, he finally understood why Eye Devil decided to bring a whole army here.
The realm power would weaken the lords and it was impossible for them to sneak into the realm without being detected.
'But why? The Nightmare Realm had the power to change the rules…' Angele felt like that he was getting close to the secret of the Nightmare Realm.

Chapter 460: Mysterious Stranger (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
PA*
Suddenly, Angele heard that a book was dropped to the floor on the other side.
"Who's there?!" Angele raised his head and saw a book with a white cover on the floor.
He checked the surroundings, walked to the book, and picked it up.
PA*
Another book dropped to the floor, Angele narrowed his eyes, and walked to the book.
Suddenly, a pair of black boots with golden edges appeared in front of his eyes.
Angele stopped moving immediately.
Raising his head, Angele saw a man with a pale face staring at him. The man was about one meter away from him, smiling.
The length of the man's neck suddenly increased, his head moved to Angele and stopped right in front of Angele's face.
"Who're you?" Angele disappeared into a ball of flames and moved several meters away from the man.
"Me? Ha…" The man was wearing a black noble suit with golden badges on his shoulders. The man's neck shrank and slowly returned to normal.
Angele's sight blurred and everything in front of disappeared. The man disappeared with the book on the floor and the place was extremely quiet. Angele thought he was seeing illusions.
He glanced around and his sight fell upon the bookshelf on the right.
He carefully pulled one of the books out of the shelf.
KA*
A cave slowly appeared on the white wall and he could see stone stairs leading down. There was chilling wind coming out of the cave.
With a flick of his finger, a ball of red fire slowly flew into the cave, brightening up the walls.
Angele hesitated for a second and stepped into the cave.
He released more than ten fireballs, they floated around Angele's body and brightened up the surroundings.
The cave connected to a black tunnel and he had no idea how long the latter would be.
Angele started walking down the tunnel.
Ka*
After about ten minutes, Angele heard some light noise from behind, he turned his head around and saw a black shadow flashing in the darkness.
'Is that the door?' He remained calm and started advancing again.
After about ten more minutes, a black metal gate appeared in the front.
Complicated vine patterns were engraved on the surface of the two-meter-tall gate and the handles on the door were shaped like an angel, whose wings acted as handles.
Angele walked to the gate. The fireballs around him illuminated the angel, reflecting bright white light.
The ground was covered in thick dust and there were cobwebs in the corners, an unpleasant smell permeated the air.
Ka*
Broken pieces of substances that looked like shells dropped to the ground from the gate.
The white angel slowly raised its head like it was alive, staring at Angele who was standing in front of him.
"Who're you?" The angel's deep voice echoed in the tunnel; bright white light was released from his eyes, landing on Angele's chest.
"I'm just a mortal that wandered into this area…" Angele responded in the universal language of the Soul River Realm.
"Leave now…" The angel was no longer looking at him. "The secrets of the temple are kept here."
Angele stared at the angel for a while. He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the angel's wings, pulling them open.
WOO*
The metal gate suddenly vibrated.
The angel lowered his head and stopped talking.
The angel's body separated into two even parts as the gate opened. Inside the gate, it was a short hallway with another black metal gate at the end. The gate looked identical to the one that Angele just opened.
The angel on the gate slowly raised his head again. "Give up now… You're trying to pass through the Endless Tunnel…"
Angele's brow furrowed. "I'm here for the secret! There's no way that I'm going to give up when I'm only one step away."
He stepped forward and opened the door again.
WOO*
The second gate opened, there was a short hallway inside with a gate by the end of it.
"Give up now…" The angel's voice was still echoing in the tunnel.
Angele turned his head around and noticed that the gates he had opened were still there. It felt like he was trying to enter a place that was sealed behind countless gates.
"So, this is the dimension hallway… Interesting…" Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes and a pair of golden eyes appeared above his brow.
Seconds later, he suddenly hit the wall on his left.
BAM*
A black stone gate appeared on the wall and it was cracked open. White dust splashed in the air.
There was light coming out of the gate, it was a tiny stone chamber with numerous black metal chains on the ground.
Angele walked to the door and peeked inside.
The interior of the stone chamber was blurred under the dim light. Angele quickly released several balls of orange flames.
PA PA*
The fireballs perished in the air as they entered the stone chamber.
BOOM*
Suddenly, the ceiling of the stone chamber started shaking, dust and broken pieces of stone were falling to the floor.
"Ah!"
Angele heard that someone was screaming—the voice sounded identical to the voice of Eye Devil, it seemed like she took some damage.
"Come in, friend." A deep female voice came from the stone chamber. "This place is going to collapse soon."
Angele stepped into the stone chamber slowly. The blue light released by the walls brightened up the room.
In the center of the stone chamber, there was a naked woman that was tied up by some metal chain.
The woman's head and limbs were all tied up and she was hung in the air.
The chains were bound to the ground or the walls. They looked just like normal iron chains.
"Are you summoning me?" Angele stood in front of the woman and raised his head.
"You already knew." The woman's body was coated with a black substance that looked like silk and the substance completely sealed her inside. Angele thought she was naked.
The woman lowered her head and her face reflected on the black substance.
"I need you to do me a favor, I was…."
Angele glanced around and interrupted, "Are you sealed here by someone?"
The woman hesitated, it seemed like she did not expect Angele to go straight to the point.
"You want me to help you, right? Cut the crap, just tell me what you can offer if I let you out." Angele checked the surroundings. "I don't think there's anything valuable in this chamber."
"Offer… Well… I can smell something familiar from your body, this thing might be helpful to you…" A mouth appeared on the woman's chest, it released a ball of black smoke, which slowly flew to Angele.
Angele reached to the center of the smoke ball.
A lot of information was transferred into his brain through mentality waves.
'Unknown mentality wave detected, accept it now?' The biochip suggested.
'Yes.'
Suddenly, Angele felt dizzy, there was so much information that he could barely handle it.
"Scorpion woman is good at controlling people's emotion. That information might help you control the emotion," the woman opened her mouth again; however, her voice changed, and it sounded male now.
"I was sealed by the Goddess of Hunt thousands of years ago and I'm extremely weak right now. This is the best chance for me. You'd better hurry before the servants of the temple come." She sounded anxious.
The black smoke slowly disappeared into the air and Angele stopped thinking.
"I don't know who you are and what you are, but I'll help you if you're sealed here by the temple. An enemy's enemy is my friend." He grabbed a chain and gripped it.
Crack*
The metal chain broke into pieces with a noise and some translucent blue smoke was released from the broken chain. Angele could also hear a woman screaming.
Angele narrowed his eyes and disappeared into the air. Several seconds later, he appeared in the chamber again.
KA*
All the metal chains inside the chamber broke into pieces.
The blue smoke from the chains were souls that kept screaming.
The woman started falling and slowly landed on the ground.
"Finally… I'm finally out…" The woman looked at her hands, looking confused. It seemed like she could not believe that things could be this easy. The woman slowly raised her head and looked at Angele.
"I don't know what I should say about you… A fool or a crazy man… I didn't think you would help me…" The woman sighed, she sounded surprised.
"Ah!"
Eye Devil's scream echoed in the air again.
Angele's expression changed, he noticed that Eye Devil sounded anxious and angry. It seemed like her voice could penetrate any substance.
However, it seemed like the woman in front of Angele could not hear anything. She just stood there and it looked like she was thinking of something.
Angele was about to say something, but he noticed someone was calling him. He quickly took out a dark-red map from the mirror and opened it. The surface of the map was coated with blood.
A strange mentality wave was transferred to Angele's brain.
"Phoenix, things have changed, I need your help!" Eye Devil's nervous voice was sent from the map. "Sea God is trying to sacrifice himself and kill me. He found the ancient tree, he's trying to seal the dimension vortex!"

"Seal the dimension vortex?!" Angele's expression changed. He knew that they would not be able to return to the Nightmare Realm if the vortex was sealed. It was impossible for him to return to the wizard world using the scorpion woman's bloodline. The bloodline was too weak for long-distance teleportation. If the vortex was completely sealed, they would have to spend the rest of their lives in Soul River Realm.
Angele nodded slightly. "I have something I need to take care now. I'll inform Bone for you."
"Sure!" Eye Devil responded and cut the disconnection.
The woman in front of Angels stopped thinking, a translucent but strong force field surrounded her body. The broken pieces of stones and chains all floated in the air.
"One thousand years… It has been one thousand years! I'm Enya and I'm finally free!" Countless large mouths appeared on the woman's body. The mouths were full of sharp teeth.
The woman lowered her body and started shaking. Bumps appeared on her back and head. It seemed some new body parts were growing.
"I'll have my revenge this time! Goddess of Hunt! You sealed me for more than one thousand years and I'll make you pay! Ugh…" She suddenly felt dizzy and her body was grabbed by a large pair of hands that came from nowhere. She was picked up by the hands, whose owner started running right away.
Angele deactivated the shadow of the giant and started running with the woman under his right arm. He was holding a green skull in the other hand and saying something with a serious expression on the face.
"Bone, Eye Devil is in trouble and she needs your help. We can't let them seal the dimension vortex or we'll be trapped in this realm forever!"
"What?! Nime is helping her and she can't even deal with Sea God?" Bone responded right away.
"I'll be there soon, where are you now?"
There was a bitter smile on Angele's face. "I'm trapped in a dimension hallway and I have to follow a specific route to escape this place. I'm counting on you."
Bone had no idea that Angele would not be able to help.
"Oh, right, you're still recovering… I'll go help her now. Damn it! Eye Devil promised me that everything would go as planned!" Bone cursed and his voice slowly disappeared.
"Ah!"
Angele heard the scream from Eye Devil again.
"Inpulous! Are you crazy! No!" Eye Devil kept shouting, her voice was echoing in Angele's ears.
"The Soul River Realm will be peaceful for the next one hundred thousand years if I can kill you! I'll sacrifice my people and soul to accomplish my goal…" a deep and old voice spoke.
Angele quickly ran down the endless hallway; after about ten minutes, he suddenly stopped, and hit the wall on the left, opening a small door.
He entered the door without any hesitation and successfully returned to the first hallway.
He increased his speed and ran down the hallway. He wasted no time and returned to the library within two minutes. The entrance to the cave closed slowly.
Angele sniffed in the library and a confused look appeared on his face.
"The fear is thickening in the air…" Angele noticed that he could detect intense emotions from others. The fear smelled like tasty cream to him and it was making him angry.
Angele could smell fear before, but the smell had never been so intense.
The area around the library was deadly silent and there was nothing moving outside the door.
Angele walked to the door and pushed it open.
It was quiet. and the old two-headed cat had already disappeared.
"Huh… What happened?" The woman in Angele's arm woke up. "Damn it! How dare you…"
BAM*
Angele lowered his hand with no expression on the face. The woman fainted again, Angele checked the surroundings and disappeared into the shadow.
He appeared in the shadow of the temple within seconds.
He could hear monsters roaring and people screaming outside the hall. Children were crying, warriors were yelling, and weapons were making noises.
Fear was everywhere in the air, it felt like there were pieces of tasty cream cakes floating around.
'What's going on…? I felt so hungry, and this attractive fragrance…' Angele was confused. It seemed like he was more sensitive to the emotions of others after receiving the information from the woman. It felt like one of his organs was changed because of the information.
'This woman is weak but she was sealed. I assume she has some sort of special ability,' Angele assumed. Blue light flashed in front of his eyes and scanned the woman.
Angele lowered his head and understood the reason.
'The woman will be strengthened after she absorbs the negative emotions of mortals. She can purify an emotion and convert it into her power. That's why she was kept in the deepest area of the dimension hallway…'
He entered the dimension hallway and took the woman out of the cave without any problems. However, everything would not have been so easy if he lacked knowledge.
For example, Angele was certain that Bone lacked knowledge. He had the ability to analyze the information he collected and more than ten ways of handling the dimension hallway.
Bone or Eye Devil would probably destroy the hallway with pure force, but it would take them much longer to do so.
Angele had amassed a lot of knowledge and information after he reincarnated into the wizard world. He was certain that most of the people he met only gathered whatever knowledge they needed. The old eye-gouging dragon had a whole library of rare books, but it lived much longer than Angele.
The biochip helped him store the information and he did not have to memorize everything he saw using his own brain.
Angele moved in the shadows of the hall with the woman in his arms.
Dead bodies of the temple guards lay on the floor, countless black bats and dragon knights were rotating around the hand of the statue.
Angele rushed to the edge of the hand and jumped forward, landing on the back of a large black bat.
"Supervisor?!" the bat said; it sounded surprised. "Why're you here?"
Angele had no time to explain. "Take me to the dimension vortex, I need to get back as soon as possible."
"Yes!" The bat was from Bone's army and knew that Angele had the right to give orders to the soldiers. The bat turned around and started flying to the silver city without any hesitation.
WOO WOO*
The black bat released some sound waves—it seemed like the bat was communicating with other bats.
The black bats that were about to help returned to their positions after receiving the message.
Angele grabbed the bat's fur tight and asked it to increase its speed.
He noticed that the fear in the air was getting intense as they flew.
Also, fear was not the only emotion he detected, there was also sadness, pain, and anger. All the negative emotions gathered around his body.
Actually, they were just moving to the woman in Angele's arm.
Other creatures would not be able to see negative emotions; however, Angele could see that negative emotions turned into black smoke and moved into the woman's body.
He sniffed at the black smoke and a ball of smoke was sucked into his nose.
'How pleasant…' Angele was enjoying the negative emotions. He started to absorb the black smoke that was created by the negative emotions unconsciously.
With the negative emotions in his body, Angele noticed that the scorpion woman's bloodline was changing, and the bloodline of the single-eyed giant weakened.
After about ten minutes, Angele and the woman in black were surrounded by a large ball of black smoke as the black bat flew.
The black smoke balls rotated around Angele's body, they turned into terrifying faces and disappeared into the air.
Angele was absorbing the black smoke at a fast rate, the black smoke gathered around the woman's body was all absorbed by him.
The woman in black woke up again, she noticed that the black smoke was not absorbed by her body, and was surprised.
'How is that even possible?! Scorpion woman doesn't have the ability to absorb the negative emotions directly, this guy…'
White ghost masks appeared around Angele's body. There were many types of masks: angry masks, crazy masks, smiling masks, and blank masks. They absorbed all the negative emotions except the fear. Fear was absorbed by Angele directly.
The Sound of the Knell created those ghost masks and it seemed like they were just taking what they needed.
The white masks rotated around Angele's body, it felt like they were floating in the black smoke.
The black bat felt that his body was surrounded by some chilling air. It was terrified by what was happening on its back and was about to drop Angele to the ground.
Angele lowered his body on the back of the bat; his body was surrounded by the black smoke and he was absorbing it through his nose.
'The bloodline of the scorpion woman was greatly strengthened…' the biochip reported.
'The effect of Erin's Funeral Oration has changed. Unknown changes happened to the bloodline of the scorpion woman and the changed bloodline conflicts with the bloodline of the single-eyed giant…'
'The conflict has become a problem. Do you want to give up the bloodline of the single-eyed giant?' the biochip questioned.
Angele was woken up by the warning.
'Give up?' Angele started thinking after hearing the question.
The bloodline of the scorpion woman helped him to teleport into the Nightmare Realm and mysterious changes had happened to it; however, the bloodline of the single-eyed giant also offered a terrifying power. His attributes would decrease if he gave up the bloodline of the single-eyed giant.
If Angele did not give up one of the bloodlines, he would reach a bottleneck and stop improving sooner or later.

Chapter 462: Forced to Leave (1)

"Come on, who're you?!" A female voice snapped Angele out of his thoughts.
He realized that he was holding a woman in his arm.
"It doesn't matter. I'm the one that saved you from the prison after all. Don't you think you should pay me back?" Angele responded in a calm tone.
"There's a furious and strong aura around your body, but you're releasing the energy that smelled like death at the same time. Scorpion woman is only a part of your bloodlines… Wait, your bloodlines are not conflicting, how's that even possible?" The woman in black stared at Angele in fear, it seemed like she was not trying to escape.
Angele smiled, it was impossible for him to tell that woman that he had a biochip. Also, none of the strong beings in the realms that he had visited knew that it was possible for a man to choose his own bloodline structure since they usually just inherited the bloodlines from their ancestors.
There were three major bloodlines in Angele's body: The bloodline of the Son of the Sun, the bloodline of the scorpion woman, and the bloodline of the single-eyed giant. There were also other bloodlines in his body, like the bloodline of the tree elf that he inherited from his mother.
The black bat was flying at full speed in the dark sky and its wings were making loud noises.
He could not see any living beings in the area and the land was covered with dark red cracks. The trees and the grass were dying and it felt like the whole realm was decaying.
Angele stopped talking, he lowered his back and started thinking. The woman in black stopped talking as well for some reason.
After reading the report from the biochip, Angele was wondering if he should just give up the bloodline of the single-eyed giant. However, his true form was close to the power level of a rank 6 wizard, and he did not want to just give it up.
Angele needed to increase his power level as fast as possible since the lords were all much stronger than him. He would have to start from the beginning if he decided to abandon the bloodline of the single-eyed giant.
"Soul River? There is a Soul River here…" The woman suddenly opened her mouth.
Angele looked down as he heard these words.
There was a large egg-shaped river on the dark-red land and Angele could see silver fish swimming in the vibrant green water slowly. Each of the fish was more than 100 meters long.
The water was clear and Angele noticed that the fish had strange appearances.
There was something coming out of each fish's large mouth. He looked at the tiny things and realized that they were white fish scale men with fish bones on their backs.
They were leaving and entering the fish's large mouths. It seemed like those fish were moving buildings to the fish scale men. Angele also saw that some of the fish buildings were actually stores. He could see weapon, armor, and herb stores.
"That's the Soul River?" Angele wondered. "There's a fight going on, right? It seems like those creatures in the river were not impacted."
The woman in black sneered. "They have nothing to worry about. The Soul River is in a different dimension, it looks like an ordinary river, but we won't be able to enter it. Also, the residents of the Soul River never liked mortals. They'll laugh if they know this land is being invaded."
Angele smiled but he did not respond. He knew that Bone and Eye Devil were fighting for the Heart of the Soul River. This Soul River would be attacked sooner or later if Eye Devil could solve her problem.
"Those fish are interesting, are the fish scale men living in the stomach of the fish?"
The woman in black nodded. "Yeah, we call them residents of the Soul River and they build their houses in the stomachs of the fish. Also, they've already changed the fish's body structure over the years. The sign that increased their size was from Sea God and some mysterious ancient sign strengthened the fish's bodies… which means…."
"Wait!" Angele interrupted. "You mean you can separate the gods' signs and the separated signs have different effects? I thought their signs only had one unique effect."
"Of course! Do you know the Sabulous Snakes? They live in many different realms and their signs are all different. Do you know the Destruction Eyes? Do you really think their signs are made of simple runes?" The woman in black was surprised, it seemed like the words she just said were common sense. "You're an inheritor of the scorpion woman, right? Didn't you inherit the knowledge?"
"What about the signs of the races that have already extinguished?" Angele questioned; he sounded excited.
"It depends on their power level. Some of the ancient creature's signs can still be used but the weaker ones will become normal signs without any power," the woman responded.
Angele felt much better after hearing these words, he was worrying about the bloodline of the single-eyed giant before.
"Thanks for the information." He closed his eyes before the woman replied and blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes.
A translucent blue light screen appeared in his sight after he closed his eyes.
'Scan the cells of the single-eyed giant's bloodline,' he ordered in mind.
'Scanning… Recording the data…'
About ten seconds later, a pyramid-shaped red cell appeared on the light screen.
The cell was quickly zoomed in and he could see white dots that looked like worms inside it.
The white dots were floating in the cell sap, they looked like random things that floated in a river.
'Scanning the field mitochondria…'
Field mitochondria was a new thing that Angele discovered a while ago when he was checking his body. It looked identical to the normal mitochondria and supplied energy to the cell. However, the field mitochondria could only be found in the cells of the ancient bloodlines, and Angele decided to give it a random name.
The white dots were zoomed in and Angele found the complicated hook-shaped rune circles inside them.
The black rune circles were flashing and it felt like they were following a certain pattern. Countless small circles that varied in size were inside the rune circle. They looked like a complicated machine that was built with gears that varied in shapes.
Angele noticed that it seemed like the rune circle was incomplete as part of it was blurred for some reason.
"This must be the runes of the single-eyed giant's bloodline; now, the only thing I need to do is change the part that caused the conflict… I should probably utilize the runes of the Son of the Sun."
He lowered his body again and started checking the runes in the bloodline of the scorpion woman and the bloodline of the Son of the Sun.
Scorpion woman could still be found so all the runes were still working. Also, Angele was absorbing fear so he could easily figure out which part of the runes gave him the ability.
Part of the single-eyed giant's runes was no longer effective, so Angele removed them. He did the simulation and moved the useless runes into the scorpion woman's runes.
Most parts of the Son of the Sun's runes were useless, only a tenth of it was still working. Angele felt relieved—if he did not hear the information from the woman and chose the Son of the Sun as his main bloodline, the situation would be much worse.
Angele recorded all the runes and compared the runes of the three bloodlines with the runes from the Destruction Eye. He then tried to modify the runes by himself.
He decided to make the runes of the scorpion woman his major runes after removing some of the basic rune parts that were related to the illusions. He added the remaining runes from the Son of the Sun and the single-eyed giant to the major rune. The biochip did countless simulations and finally found the perfect result.
The final rune looked a strange circle with a triangle inside.
'If I'm not mistaken, the rune should be able to utilize the strengths of the three different bloodlines. However, I still need to do some experiments to test the actual result.'
The bloodline rune was a special sign that was related to the ancient bloodline. Changing the rune circles inside the cell was the same as changing the bloodline; however, Angele was the only that had the ability to do something like this with the help of the biochip.
'I'm done modifying the rune circle, but I need to recreate it and insert it into my cells… Wait!' Angele suddenly recalled the strange feeling he had when looking at the runes of the scorpion woman.
'Show me the runes of the scorpion woman.'
The rune of the scorpion woman was displayed on the light screen; part of the runes looked identical to the strange patterns he found in the Erin's Funeral Oration.
'It's possible that the purpose of practicing the meditation technique is to strengthen those special runes… However, those runes will not appear if one keeps strengthening the original runes in his bloodline, which means the runes appeared naturally, and the process of practicing the meditation technique is to make sure that the runes will expand to every corner of one's body…'
It was just Angele's assumption. No one knew if people developed the advanced meditation techniques by strengthening the runes or if the runes appeared after people started practicing the meditation techniques they found.
However, Angele was certain that the bloodline of the scorpion woman changed after he practiced the Erin's Funeral Oration. Without the ancient bloodline inside his body, the Erin's Funeral Oration would not do anything for him. Also, the Erin's Funeral Oration was not effective as it did not fit his bloodline.
Angele understood how the ancient bloodline was improved in the Nightmare Realm; however, it was just one of the paths from a random realm. The exciting part was that he was getting closer to the truth of the ancient wizards.
The ancient wizards communicated with countless realms and found many paths to become the strongest wizards in the world. There had to be a different way than improving the bloodline runes; however, this path would help Angele reach his goal. Different evolutions would happen due to the realm differences.
For example, creatures with physical forms were different from the creatures with just energy forms.
Angele was tired but excited after analyzing all the data. He stopped looking at the light screen created by the biochip.
'The bloodline rune is probably just part of the ancient bloodline. I've analyzed countless bloodlines but I only found the runes once in the cell of the skeleton soldier, it was the same for the large tooth I found in the main world. The owner of the tooth probably walked a different path. Anyway, I've found what I needed.
'After I get back, I'll follow the method mentioned in the Erin's Funeral Oration and modify it according to my needs. Also, I can absorb all the bloodline to the bloodline runes during the process and create a stable bloodline rune. It's a new path that's discovered by me…'
Angele had always been cautious, he wanted to make sure he did not make any mistakes. Finally, there was a clear path ahead.
Angele decided to make a plan and find out what resources he needed to collect.
'The current bloodline should be the basic part, I need to find the bloodlines that can help improve my bloodline runes. Also, I need a technique that fits them. My progress will be accelerated greatly after everything is accomplished!' He almost wanted to travel back to his lab room and start working right away.
The black bat was still flying; they passed by the Soul River and got closer to the silver city. The negative emotions were getting more and more intense in the air.
The black smoke created by the negative emotions gathered around the woman. Angele, the woman, and the bat were all surrounded by the black smoke.
Angele and the woman were the only two that could see the black smoke and the bat had no idea that he was in a ball of smoke.
The dark-red land turned black and black smoke was coming out of the cracks on the ground. The buildings were damaged and burnt black.
Angele could see that there was a rotating smoke tornado in the sky ahead.
Beside the tornado, Eye Devil's body was being attacked by four blue lasers and she could not move at all. She was being dragged to the center of the smoke tornado.
"Ah!"
Eye Devil screamed again; the large eyeball on her waist was vibrating and its size was changing constantly—it felt like the eyeball could explode at any time.
The clouds were cleared as Eye Devil screamed, revealing the dark-red sky.

Chapter 463: Forced to Leave (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
On Eye Devil's left, a man in bone armor was floating with green flames around his body; there was a shell-shaped object on his back.
The man's body was slightly larger than a dragon knight and similar to the size of Angele's true form, but he was still much smaller than the Eye Devil.
The man in white armor noticed Angele, he drew a green line in the air and flew to Angele.
"Phoenix! Is there a way to stop Eye Devil from being sealed by Sea God?!" Angele noticed that it was Bone after the man approached.
"Sea God… Bone, I'm still recovering and there's nothing I can do." A bitter smile appeared on Angele's face.
"Well, we're in trouble then." Bone moved to Angele and they watched Eye Devil being dragged to the black smoke.
"Sea God is trying to seal the black smoke and the dimension vortex completely; however, it's impossible. The problem is, if the vortex is sealed, only creatures weaker than us will be able to access the portal, and it'll take us more than one hundred thousand years to unseal the portal. Also, Eye Devil will face serious consequences…"
"What do you mean? Is there anything you can do?" Angele questioned with his brow furrowed.
"Well, if I go and try to save her, she will escape and I'll become the one that gets sealed… Half of my power will be gone and I'll be sealed for more than one hundred thousand years." A bitter smile appeared on Bone's face.
"Eye Devil is selfish, it's highly possible that she doesn't care about us at all!"
"So, you're saying that guy has similar concerns?" Angele pointed at a man with a white cape that was floating in the air.
"Yeah, you're right. Although we're all here, no one is trying to help her." Bone shrugged.
Angele realized that the woman in black and bat were no longer moving. Lowering his head, he saw that white smoke was rising from the bat and the woman's bodies. Their skin was boiling and it felt like bones could pierce through their bodies at any time.
"Ah, my bad, I should've kept some distance." Bone noticed the situation. "They're too weak and my voice is making them… uncomfortable…"
Angele's skin numbed but the situation was much better for him. He moved his body slightly after hearing Bone's word.
The size of his body increased and a long black horn appeared on top of his head. It looked like a long black ponytail. His brow was replaced by a pair of golden eyes.
Angele was more than seven meters tall and his muscular body was terrifying.
More ten white ghost masks slowly solidified and floated around Angele's body. The masks were chuckling and screaming.
Strong black light landed on the bat and the woman in black, the light protected them from being damaged by Bone's aura.
Angele noticed that the normal true form of Bone had the similar power level as his true form, which was about the same as a rank 6 wizard.
He checked the fan of bones on Bone's back and noticed that there was a complicated rune circle on the fan. It had to be the bloodline rune circle Bone had.
Bone already reached the top-level of the first true form since he already recreated the rune circle. Angele had not recreated his rune circle, which meant that his normal true form could still be improved.
"Well, your true form is… artistic…" Bone glanced at Angele. "It seems like you still need some time. You haven't recreated your rune circle and sign yet."
"Well, let's focus on Eye Devil," Angele interrupted.
They turned to Eye Devil and watched her struggle.
"I would've offered help if Eye Devil didn't lie to me… Actually, we should both help her under these circumstances. No one expected that Sea God has the ability to seal her. We'll be weaker than the lords of the northland after all." Bone shook his head. "There's nothing I can do now."
Angele nodded.
"No!" Eye Devil's dark red body started exploding and countless tiny explosions appeared on the surface of her skin. Half of her body was dragged into the black smoke and there was nothing she could do.
"Let's leave before it's too late!" Bone turned into a green star and disappeared.
Angele kicked the black bat to the ground and created a solid object in the air using the energy particles. He stepped on the object and jumped into the air.
The air around Angele's body turned into red flames, following after Bone.
They turned into a green star and a red star, heading to the black smoke.
The man with a white cape also moved to the black smoke at full speed with a golden spear in hand.
Angele's body was surrounded by the flame and he was absorbing the negative emotions that came from the battlefield.
The negative emotions were so intense that he was having trouble breathing. The negative emotions were absorbed by his body, turning into black liquid, and the ghost masks in the air were changing their expressions constantly.
Angele could feel that his mutated scorpion woman's bloodline was being constantly strengthened.
CHI*
Suddenly, Angele was hit by the pain from the tailbone, and he could feel that something pierced through his skin.
Turning his head around, Angele noticed a tail appeared on his body. The tail was about five meters long and covered with spikes.
He tried to control the tail and it quickly turned into the shape of an "S". The black spikes on the tail all stood up, they were hard and reflective.
'Great, I didn't expect the mutated scorpion woman's bloodline to fit the Erin's Funeral Oration so well. The only thing I need to do is modify the Erin's Funeral Oration and I'll be able to acquire a new purified bloodline.' Angele was happy that his power level was increasing.
'Unknown energy absorbed. Mentality increasing…' Zero's voice slowly echoed in his ears.
'Recording the changes: 200… 213… 238… 278… 311… 355… 396… 421… 478…' His mentality stopped increasing after reaching 478.
Angele's mentality increased to 478 from 200.
Angele had a general idea about the situation. 'So, based on the biochip's calculation, each increased unit is the total of a mortal's fear. My mentality is increased by 278 units, which means I absorbed fear from 278 mortals. Also, the fear I absorbed was already purified. I probably absorbed more fear than I thought.'
He could control his mentality perfectly after the changes and finally understood why Eye Devil feared the bloodline signet of the scorpion woman.
The scorpion woman's bloodline increased his mentality like crazy; although the mentality might come with impurities, it was still a perfect way to strengthen his power. Also, the power of the negative emotions could be used during battles—it could damage the target's mentality and soul.
'Such a powerful bloodline… The original scorpion woman can't absorb the pure emotion power like me but her mentality power is much stronger than other creatures even with the impurities,' Angele thought as he flew. 'The scorpion woman feeds on war, that's why she is born in the Nightmare Realm…'
Eye Devil was finally dragged into the black smoke by the four blue chains and disappeared into it quickly. The four blue chains also disappeared into the smoke.
Angele, Bone, and the man with a white cape charged into the smoke and disappeared as well when the blue chains disappeared.
BOOM*
After the explosion, the black smoke cylinder turned into a black smoke ring and slowly faded away, revealing a dark-red vortex in the sky.
The dragon knights, giants, and bats all flew to the dark red vortex, disappearing into the portal.
The red sky slowly turned gold and the light penetrated the clouds, landing on the ground. It looked like the Soul River Realm successfully survived the invasion again.
Angele rushed into the smoke, he felt like he just entered a pool of red liquid. There was a red vortex behind him and a large black vortex in the front.
He protected the woman in black using some black light and started swimming to the black vortex.
Bone and the man with a white cape were also swimming.
"Part of the dimension vortex is destroyed and we have to swim back in the dimension pool…" Bone looked a bit anxious.
"Dimension pool? What's that?" Angele was surprised, it was the first time that he heard of it.
"I don't know. Sometimes, there'll be a pool in the dimension vortex and time will be stopped there. Also, all your power is restricted—no matter if you're a living being or a soul, you can only move at a certain speed," the man with a cape explained. "No one knows about the liquid in the pool. You can't carry the liquid with you and you can't drink it.
"There are so many strange things in the realms. I've seen realms that are more terrifying than the Nightmare Realm," the man spoke with a low voice.
"Well, tell me more about the dimension pool. I never heard that the time is stopped here." Bone was curious.
A smile appeared on the man's face. "I know a lot of secrets here and I've explored many realms. I can give you more information, but you need to do me a favor."
"What do you want?" Bone scrunched his brows.
"Help Eye Devil. We still need her."
"Well, sure, the lords of the northland are invading other realms like crazy. We haven't even finished the first one and we're already interrupted. The northland will attack us sooner or later if we can't gather our power!" Bone nodded.
"I agree." Angele nodded. "But I'm still too weak right now and I'm not sure if I can actually help you."
"No worries. I'm sure you'll recover faster when the situation allows." It seemed like the man noticed something and smiled.

Chapter 464: Ten Years (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
"Is that so?" Angele smiled and stopped talking.
The three swam to the gate on the other side. They were the only creatures that were left in the red dimension pool.
Bone and the man with a white cape were talking about the things they both knew and it seemed like they were having a friendly conversation; however, Angele noticed that Bone kept a distance from the man intentionally.
After about ten minutes, the three arrived at the gate and entered the black vortex.
Angele's sight turned black for a second, but he could feel that he was landing on the ground.
The surroundings were slowly brightened up and Angele heard something vibrating from behind. A red land appeared in his sight.
Turning his head around, Angele noticed a large red vortex, however, there were no electric pulses sparking in the center.
"Where's Eye Devil?" Bone was standing beside him.
"She's there!" The man pointed at the dark red plain.
Angele looked where the man was pointing at; he noticed that there were countless blue chains coming down the sky, they were dragging a large eyeball. It seemed like the chains were trying to sink into the ground with the eyeball.
Eye Devil had a high power level and a strong force field. She was still struggling and all the chains were taut.
"The same situation will last for one hundred thousand years. We're not in a hurry. We should wait until she has the strength to create a shadow before making any decisions. I'll be going back to my bone ship now." Bone left those words, then turned around and slowly flew to the empty sky.
The man looked at Eye Devil and nodded. "It'll take two to three years for our army to return to the Nightmare Realm. I'll be resting too, see you later. Also, this is a book written by him, I hope it'll be helpful to you." He handed a golden book to Angele.
Angele grabbed the book, nodded, and watched the man disappear into a ray of golden light.
He was the only one left in front of the portal. The chilling wind was soaring and it sounded like terrifying voices of ghosts.
Angele held the woman in one hand and the golden book in the other hand. He checked the surroundings quickly.
'I shouldn't go back to my shelter. I need to find a place that is safe and easy to access.' He started advancing on the empty plain.
The ground was black, it felt like the land was burnt by some furious flames, and there were cracks everywhere.
Angele cast the elemental teleportation numerous times and arrived at a forest by the edge of the plain after traveling more than one hundred kilometers.
The red light illuminated the vibrant green forest.
Angele stopped moving; he could see Eye Devil's body that was chained up. He cut down some trees and decided to build a wooden house here.
He dropped the woman on the ground as he was not worried that she would try to run away.
The woman looked confused after entering the Nightmare Realm, she watched Eye Devil struggle and saw that Angele broke down trees like breaking chopsticks using his true form.
BAM BAM BAM BAM*
Angele sharpened the ends of the tree trunks and stabbed them into the ground. His long red hair pulled down the branches and tree leaves like tentacles, and quickly created a complicated green roof with the available materials without any problem.
He placed the roof on the tree trunks and took several steps away, drawing an e-shaped rune in the air.
Seconds later, the tree trunks started growing again, turning into four enormous trees. The new branches and tree leaves expanded, turning into green walls.
The tree branches followed a certain pattern and quickly formed the walls of the house, connecting to the roof made by the hair.
"Incredible…" The woman sighed as she watched the scene. "It's the first time that I see someone that can easily utilize the power of nature."
Angele smiled, what he did could be accomplished by any rank 1 wizard in the wizard world; however, people in the Nightmare Realm and the Soul River Realm never thought of doing something similar. They thought only the masters could do something like this.
The wizards refined the general techniques as their power was too weak. The strong beings in other realms leveled up so fast that they did not need any refined techniques.
"We'll be living in this house," Angele spoke in the universal language of the Soul River Realm.
It was a large tree house—the walls were more than one hundred meters long, and it could easily fit two people inside. The tree branches separated the house into two levels and created multiple triangular rooms.
The woman entered the house and did a quick check. She stepped out of the house with a surprised look on face.
"Your technique is incredible!" She walked to Angele and praised him. Angele was building the fence using some vines he found in the area.
Angele glanced at the woman and responded, "Don't you hate me? I forced you to leave your home."
"Why? I don't hate you at all. I'm a wanted criminal in the Soul River Realm. I wouldn't be able to leave the prison without you," the woman responded in a calm tone. "This is the Nightmare Realm, huh? Well, the environment is as bad as I expected."
Angele nodded and responded, "You can do some hunting in the area or collect some fruits for food. Wear black when you're outside and make sure your skin is not exposed. Some strange creatures here feed on fresh blood."
The woman nodded, it seemed like she already knew that information.
Angele held the golden book in hand and returned to his normal form.
"Do whatever you want, but don't walk too far. Bone has an army here and you might be killed if they thought you're a spy." Angele stretched his back.
Angele disappeared into the flames with the book after finishing the word while the woman in black was thinking about something.
On the second floor of the tree house.
Angele slowly recreated his body in the green room with the book in hand. He looked at the empty room, raised his right hand and created some furniture using the green vines. A chair, a table, a bed, and a lab table were created within seconds.
He walked to the lab table and opened the golden book. He started reading the book slowly.
The man recorded what he experienced when he was traveling in the Nightmare Realm, the Sea Realm, the Soul River Realm, and the Voice Realm.
It took Angele about ten minutes to scan the whole book. He closed his eyes and started thinking after going through everything.
After the scorpion woman's bloodline mutated, he opened a new path that was never discovered by anyone before.
Angele retrieved the new rune that he asked Zero to simulate; he decided to modify the Erin's Funeral Oration based on the new rune.
Rune and the Erin's Funeral Oration were associated with each other closely, but it still took Angele couple days to finish the procedure. He finally found a way to modify the technique.
After the technique was modified, the complete procedure was separated into three steps: Mutation, True Form, and Refined True Form. The new system was developed using the oration's original system, however, he had a way to utilize the bloodline of the Son of Sun with the new system.
Angele named the new technique the Book of Fear—the name came from the features of the new technique.
He started practicing the new technique immediately after the modification.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Angele sat on the ground with his legs crossed, his body surrounded by black smoke and white ghost masks.
A ball of golden light was flashing in front of his chest and the black smoke was coated with a clean golden glow.
Angele slowly opened his eyes after a while and pressed on his chest.
"The bloodline of the Son of Sun… I'll see if I can absorb it using the new technique…" He pulled a light ball out of his chest.
The light ball was struggling and screaming. It was almost like that the light ball was alive, and it was covered with golden tentacles.
Angele did not look at the light ball and his dark-red hair floated in the air.
CHI CHI CHI*
The hair stabbed into the golden light ball and golden energy was being absorbed by the hair.
Also, Angele started chanting some strange incantation. The speed of the incantation changed constantly and he was releasing a noise that sounded like it was from a knell.
The translucent sound wave started expanding with Angele in the center.
'Monitoring the procedure…' Zero's voice echoed in his ears.
'Absorbing the bloodline of Son of Sun. Controlling the energy… Creating the rune for the true form…'
Angele's red eyes slowly turned blue with countless blue light dots flashing in front of them.
It felt like the light ball in his hand was filled up with endless power and his hair was sucking the energy out of the ball; however, the size of the light ball never changed.
The shadow of the true form was created in the boiling black smoke behind Angele.
It was a shadow that was long and slim.
Angele's true form changed after the single-eyed giant's bloodline was weakened. His long horn was shortened by half and his true form was covered by black armor. His face was also covered by a black mask, only revealing his chin and lips.
His long sharp tail was also waving in the air.
Angele looked weaker than before, but his new appearance was mysterious.
Also, the large purple rune behind the true form's shadow was eye-catching. The rune was complicated and it looked like a spider web that came from the voice.
Also, the tree house was surrounded by some heat waves, it felt like the air was burning, but there was nothing around.
Seconds later, the light ball in Angele's hand exploded, turning into countless golden light dots. The light dots formed small balls of light, but they were not moving at all.
The shadow of the new true form disappeared with the boiling black smoke.
Angele rested on the ground for a while with his legs crossed and slowly stood up.
'The strength and stamina of the true form are still the same. I also have the illusion ability and the ability to absorb fear. I recreated the unknown ability of the bloodline of the Son of Sun with the extracted bloodline essence. The only thing I lost is the ability to read people's memory since my single-eyed giant bloodline was weakened. Also, I'll not be able to acquire the strongest talent ability of the single-eyed giant, the Death Stare. I hope I made a good decision…'

Chapter 465: Ten Years (2)

Angele sighed with mixed emotions; he was not following the bloodline path that was practiced by most of the strong beings in this realm. He made some evolutionary changes to the bloodline signets of the three strong bloodlines he had. Although the path was clear, he still needed to proceed with caution.
'I've already reached the top level of my true form since I recreated the rune. For the refined true form, I'll have to utilize the power of the fear, and my body will change again; however, it'll take me some time to accomplish that. I should probably test my power first.'
Angele stepped out of the room and left the tree house.
The green fence surrounded the tree house in the center.
The woman in black was pouring water onto the empty ground with a wooden kettle, it seemed like she was planting something. The woman turned her head around and smiled after hearing the noise.
"How was your night?"
Angele glanced at the woman and questioned, "Did you try to escape?"
The expression froze on the woman's face.
It took her a while to respond. "I tried to escape, but none of my attempts succeeded…"
Angele nodded calmly, he was not angry at all. "It's impossible for you to leave me before I unseal you from the black light prison that I applied on you. You'll faint and walk back to the restricted area if you try to escape."
The black light prison was one of the techniques he mastered; it was usually applied to the prisoners by the Watchers.
With the help of the biochip, Angele already learned more than one hundred strong techniques and spells over the years. He had already become a spell master with all the unique spells he acquired.
Angele looked at the ground where there were some green sprouts. However, he had no idea what those plants were.
"I just… planted them for fun…" A strange smile appeared on the woman's face, it almost looked like that she was about to cry.
Angele noticed that those green sprouts were surrounded by some mysterious black smoke.
"Alright then, did you find enough food?"
"Well, for people like us, we only need to eat once every 10 to 15 days," the woman replied. She had the same power level as a rank 2 wizard when she was unsealed; however, it seemed like she already had the mentality wave of a rank 3 wizard after resting for a while.
"Good." Angele was not concerned. "I need to leave this place for a while and I've already increased your activity range. Just take care of yourself."
He did not care if the woman knew how big the area was, she would test it out by herself anyways.
Angele looked in a random direction and disappeared into a ball of flames.
A ball of flames exploded in the deep forest and disappeared into the air within seconds after releasing some red energy waves.
In the wizard world.
The ruin under the volcano.
In a bedroom, red energy waves appeared in the air; a ball of red flames exploded, turning into a humanoid creature—it was Angele, who was wearing a white robe.
Angele glanced at the bedroom and felt the strong pressure right away after recreating his body. His true form had already reached the top level of a rank 6 wizard. With the help of the three bloodline runes and the new rune he created, his power level had already increased to an incredible level.
The attributes of his normal form were also increased, especially the mentality and the stamina. He noticed that a new talent ability was being formed and his attributes were increasing constantly at a steady rate. He was certain that he would advance to rank 4 in the main world sooner or later.
However, he realized that he was weakened by the realm difference after returning to the main world. His strong talent ability was weakened and his progression was slowed down.
Angele's mentality was around 400; however, it was decreased to about 200 in the main world.
'The strange feeling I had when I returned to this world…. This must be the realm difference. It seems like I've already become a denizen of the Nightmare Realm…' Angele concluded quickly.
He did not feel anything when he was in the Nightmare Realm, there was no realm difference at all; also, he could only experience the realm difference when he reached a certain level.
Raising his left hand, Angele looked at the purple eye-shaped ring. The ring was glowing, it seemed like someone left him messages.
Angele rubbed the surface of the gem.
CHI*
A white diamond-shaped light screen was released by the ring, floating in front of Angele's eyes.
Rows of information flashed on the screen.
Angele glanced at the screen and stopped at one of the messages.
'11 world stone altars have been fixed. Two enemies were captured. Please inform us on how to deal with them.'
Angele tapped on the message slightly.
The message was zoomed in, turning into a new square screen, revealing Lela's attractive face.
"Leader, you finally responded. We caught two enemies. What should I do with them?"
"Which two?"
"Suman's girlfriend and a middle-aged man. It seemed like they recruited the man on the way."
Angele thought for a while and responded, "Hand them over to the Count. Just make sure that the altars are running properly, I don't care about the other things."
"Sure."
Angele knew that the count would use the two enemies he captured to try and find Suman. It was an obvious trap, but Suman would do anything to rescue his comrades-in-arms. The count asked Angele for help the last time and he thought that it was a shame so he had to deal with the situation by himself.
He closed the light screen and kept reading other information.
The intel collected by the elite members in numerous ways was delivered to his ring every day. Angele quickly acquired a general understanding of the situation.
The central continent was relatively stable; however, the east coast, south coast, and the west coast had lost their connection with the central continent. Only the northland could still communicate with it. All the communication towers were interrupted by the strong dimension radiation, it was nearly impossible for the messages to be delivered without losing a part of them. The whole world was in chaos at the moment since they had no way to exchange information.
The Molten River area, the Tarry River area, and the center area all turned into independent areas. They had no way to contact each other.
In the center area, Eugene's problem was still being dealt with, and something happened to the three lords. The Lord of the Sky disappeared and his lab subjects all escaped. The energy wave leak caused by the problem unsealed a strong mutated creature. The creature was severely injured Bismarck's teacher and father after they sacrificed their lives; however, it was still alive.
Bismarck had to use some black magic to communicate with a different realm and sacrificed half of his body. He turned into a monster and solved the problem.
However, the Lord of the Sky lost all his power.
The Shadow Lord was mysterious, she had not yet done anything after Eugene was killed, and many people were leaving her territory. No one knew what happened and all the information was blocked.
The Mirror Lord's soul was dying and his daughter became the new Mirror Lord. It seemed like the new Mirror Lord already noticed something and she started gathering mercenaries and knights. The whole Palace of the Mirror Lord had become the base of a revolutionary force.
"Which means, the situation is getting worse every minute," Angele muttered and continued to read.
The civil war of the Elemental Hand had ended and they signed an armistice agreement. The elder council and the alliance decided to work together when fighting the outsiders after the war ended.
Angele checked the information and realized that the outsiders it mentioned were servants of Prince Evil Dragon.
Prince Evil Dragon found a group of strong wizards and established an organization. He was attacking the two other large areas around the Elemental Hand.
He was fighting the center area and the Tarry River area without any problem; also, he left a strong force to defend from the attacks coming to the Molten River area.
Angele finished reading the information; he thought for a while as his brow furrowed, tapping on the ring slightly.
A man's voice came from the ring after he waited for a while.
"Green? What's the matter? I thought you were busy."
"Juventus?" Angele was confused as the voice was a bit unfamiliar.
"Yeah, it's me. The cross-dimension communication weakened the signal. I'm busy right now, go straight to the point!" Angele could hear that the man was turning pages, it seemed like he was dealing with some documents.
"I've already prepared everything, what about the world stone points? I read the messages and I assume that everything is going as planned," Angele spoke in a deep tone.
"Yeah, why? Although everything is going as planned, it'll still take us several years to finish arranging the resources. Also, we need to prepare the locations for the army. Meetings are happening every day in the organization and the nobles of the empire were checking our world constantly. There are so many things waiting to be completed." Juventus was in the headquarters of the organization and he would receive the intel before it was sent to the system.
"There's a problem with the three lords. Did the master say anything? If not, I'll go and handle my personal business and you won't be able to contact me for a while." Angele wanted to continue his plan in the Nightmare Realm.
"Don't worry, just find a person to handle the things for you. The elites all signed the contract and no one can betray the organization. I'll give you… ten years to finish your things," Juventus replied.
"Great, much appreciated." Angele smiled.
"Well, we're following the same master after all," Juventus chuckled. "Come visit us when you have time."
"Sorry, I hate the effect of the Fairy Realm… I don't want my clothes to talk for no reason." Angele recalled the scene.
"Well, you're right… Damn it! My glass! Come back! Alright, I'll talk to you later, I have something to take care of." The communication ended.
Angele was certain that Juventus went to chase his cup. Juventus was also busy with other things so Angele decided not to bother him too much.

Chapter 466: Dimension Fissure (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Angele checked the situation of the main world and felt that a storm was coming.
He stepped out of the room and left the ruin. He stood by the edge of the volcano.
It was early in the morning and the sky was still gray. Tiny snowflakes were falling down, dancing in the chilling wind.
CHI CHI*
The snow would make some strange noise every time Angele took a step. He slowly walked to the edge of the snow mountain.
Standing on the cliff, Angele could see the white clouds down the hill—the clouds looked like cotton flowers.
A purple-black ray of light was standing among the tops of the snow mountains, striking into the sky. It looked like a long bar that was stabbed into a mountain.
Angele looked at the purple ray and noticed that it came from a white stone platform. A group of people in black robes surrounded the platform, chanting incantations.
"This place… The energy pool of the elder council…" Angele muttered and inhaled several times. He stopped looking at the platform, turned around, and walked to the ruin. He was just here for some fresh air.
Angele returned to the entrance of the ruin and recalled the moment he acquired the bloodline of the scorpion woman. He found the bloodline when he entered the Nightmare Realm in the ruin.
'I wonder what will happen if I enter the Nightmare Realm here again. I should be able to handle most of the situations now," Angele thought. He wanted to return to the Nightmare Realm in a safe location, but he was still interested in the secret treasure that he failed to retrieve a long time ago.
He pressed his right palm on the chest and released some red light. The light changed color several times.
'Alright, the coordinates should be correct…' Angele glanced around and made sure that he was the only one here. Red light flashed again and he disappeared into the air.
In the Nightmare Realm.
Black dust was flying in the dark sky like gray snow.
The platform on the ruin, the area around the ruin, and the surface of the snow mountain were all covered with the black dust.
A ball of red light flashed beside the entrance of the ruin and Angele appeared, wearing a white robe.
He looked at the sky, looking confused.
"Black snow?" Angele grabbed some dust and rubbed it. The dust was burning hot and there was fire sparking around it.
The area was deadly silent; there was no one around, and the whole world was quiet.
The world was dark and the only source of light was the golden light ray that penetrated the clouds.
Angele hesitated, he noticed that the rusty platform in the front was covered with dust. It seemed like the platform was not activated for years.
He stepped on the platform and stood steadily.
KA*
The platform started going down slowly.
It took a while for the platform to reach the bottom. The door opened, revealing a red tunnel that was utterly quiet.
The walls of the tunnel were covered with thick dust, it seemed like no one had walked in it for years.
Angele glanced around and his expression loosened. He slowly stepped down the platform.
He started advancing through the red tunnel. Angele stopped by a painting that was hanging on the wall after turning several times.
The painting was also covered by the dust.
CHI CHI*
Angele tried to clean the painting; however, he noticed that the dust had already become a part of the painting and he could barely make out the image under it.
He scrunched his eyebrows and started to advance using the route that led him to the ruin of the Nightmare Realm the last time.
Seconds later, a black grandfather clock appeared in the front. The clock was lying on the ground, broken in half. The wooden part of the clock was burnt black.
Angele was a bit confused, he increased his speed.
Several minutes later, he stopped in front of a spacious room, looking at the wall that was covered with vines quietly.
"Wall of Confusion?" He stood in front of the wall, looking at the vibrant vines. "Are you still alive?"
No one responded.
Raising his hand, Angele removed the vines, but the only thing he could see was a red wall.
'What happened to this place?' He scratched the wall using the tip of his finger.
He sniffed at the finger—there was a weird smell on it.
Angele left the room and followed the original route. He arrived at a small indoor garden minutes later.
The garden was filed with colorful flowers and green leaves. The swing was waving in the gentle light, but the terrifying woman he met the last was no longer there.
Angele stood by the entrance of the garden and inhaled deeply. There was a fishy smell in the air.
He glanced around the garden and walked to the bronze door on the other side. It was the entrance to the illusion pool.
Angele noticed that the door was half open as he approached it, but he could not see what was behind it.
He pushed the door open carefully.
CHI*
The door slowly opened.
Inside, it was a short tunnel and there was a large door by the end with a large keyhole. The door was broken, it seemed like someone knocked on the door with a strong force, and there was a large irregular hole in the center.
Angele noticed that there were some broken white bones on the ground, he was not sure what the creature they belonged to was.
He slowly approached the door, lowered his body, and entered the door through the hole.
A spacious white hall appeared in the front and there was a dried pool in the center. The blue statues of the scorpion women around the pool were all broken.
The whole hall was coated with a light blue glow and it seemed like the blue glow was released by the pool.
Angele stepped forward, lowered his head, and looked at the pool.
Some blue cracks that looked like spider webs were at the bottom of the pool; also, the cracks could easily fit a person.
Angele narrowed his eyes and walked to a scorpion woman statue.
The body of the blue statue was broken into pieces, but the bottom half of the statue was still standing there. He could see drops of red blood around the statue.
He crouched and was about to check the blood. Angele suddenly detected something was approaching him from behind at full speed.
Angele had no time to think; a shadow of a giant appeared behind him and he struck forward right away.
BAM*
His right arm ached and a large piece of flesh was pulled off his arm, revealing the white bone inside.
Roar*
He could hear a beast roaring.
However, Angele did not see any creature around. The beast stopped roaring and the area became quiet again.
'This thing pulled a piece of flesh off my arm easily, which means, the beast had the same power level as a rank 3 wizard.'
Suddenly, Angele raised his right hand and struck forward.
BAM*
A ball of translucent shadow was blown away, hitting the wall and leaving a crack on the surface.
Angele's body disappeared into the air and he hit the center of the crack like a bullet. A spinning red rune circle appeared on his back.
BAM*
Angele attacked again—intense red light was released from the rune circle, covering the whole crack on the wall.
Under the red light, a large pair of red hands made of lava came out of the rune circle and pressed on the creature that was in the center of the crack.
The creature slowly revealed itself in the red light, held tight by the hands.
It was a dog with three large heads.
Angele took three steps back and let the hands hold the dog.
He took out a yellow bird egg from the pouch and cracked it. He then threw the cracked egg at the large dog.
PA*
The bird egg turned into a pile of sticky yellow liquid, covering the body of the dog. The dog could no longer stay invisible and Angele finally had a clear view of it.
The dog had three heads that could release translucent flames from their mouths and its fur was black. Also, the dog had red eyes and there were collars on its necks.
"A three-headed dog? What? Is that Cerberus?" Angele was surprised. He checked the wound on his right arm. It had already recovered and it almost looked like he was not injured at all.
He walked to the Cerberus and started observing it carefully. The dog's behavior was restricted by the rune circle.
The dog was about one meter tall and it was staring at Angele while roaring.
Angele thought for a while and scanned the dog using the biochip. He recorded the creature's mentality wave and energy wave. He also collected the creature's fur and muscle tissue. Everything was stored in the mirror quickly.
The black mirror Angele found from the Soul River Realm had already become an important item. Angele stored most of his lab subjects in the mirror and the items that he used a lot in the pouch.
He tapped on the dog's heads quickly.
Crack*
The heads of the dog exploded, white brains and red blood splashed on the wall. The dead body of the dog fell to the ground and stopped moving.
Angele deactivated the rune circle and the large hands slowly disappeared. He had dozens of methods to deal with the creatures that were weaker than rank 4 wizards.
He returned to the edge of the pool and started flying to the cracks at the bottom of the pool.
Angele floated above the blue cracks and noticed that the radiation energy from the cracks seemed familiar.
'This energy is similar to the energy I found from the world stone altars… However, it's stronger and more chaotic…' Angele's brow furrowed. 'Wait… Don't tell me this is a new dimension fissure…'
DING*
Suddenly, he heard some strange noise.
Angele quickly took out a green skull from the pouch—he could hear Bone's voice coming from it.
"Phoenix, Eye Devil wants to build the Eye Tower of the Doomsday and asks us to collect souls. We need to start collecting the souls right away if you have the time."
"Eye Tower of the Doomsday?" Angele knew what the item was as it was mentioned in the information from Eye Devil. It was a device that could buff the power of her people. The souls would be able to help Eye Devil break the seal and the realm wall. The only thing they needed to do was to collect the souls.

"So, she wanted to find the souls from different realms?" Angele assumed.
"Yeah, Eye Devil put in a lot of effort this time, she provided us with five detailed coordinate sets to five different realms and she wants us to help her collect souls." Bone chuckled. "Vapor and Abyss will be here too. Eye Devil's offer is so attractive that everyone wants a part of it. I heard that Eye Devil's servants were trying to find more realms to enter, such as the Mist Realm, the Wizard World, the Giant Tree Realm… It'll take a while for them to confirm the coordinates, but still…."
"Wait? That's a lot…" Angele was a bit surprised after he heard about the wizard world, he felt like his heart stopped for a second. The army of the Nightmare Realm was so strong that he doubted if the modern wizards could handle the invasion. The ancient wizards had no problem fighting against the creatures from other realms, but the situation had changed.
"Phoenix, I suggest that you consume part of the souls you collected using this chance so you'll recover faster. You'll be ignored if you can't show us your true power," Bone advised.
Angele remained silent for a second and responded, "I'll think about it."
"Good then. I have something else to take care of. Talk to you later." Bone cut the communication.
Angele returned the skull to the pouch and started thinking. He was trying to calm down.
Waving his hand, a slim man in a black robe with a white ghost mask on the face appeared from the black smoke. It was a smiling mask—it was one of the masks that represented treachery.
After modifying the Erin's Funeral Oration, he could feel the negative emotions moving to his body every time he practiced the Sound of the Knell. He could feel that he would be able to control the ghost masks in the future and it seemed like the ghost masks were turning into parts of his body.
'I heard that the Eye Tower of the Doomsday could gather the souls of the creatures. This dimension fissure should be able to lead me to a new realm.' The men with masks jumped into the blue dimension fissure under his command.
CHI*
The men entered the fissure immediately, but Angele was still floating above it. Closing his eyes, he could see what the masked man was seeing.
A large harbor appeared in front of his eyes.
The night was about to fall and he could already see the sky that was covered with silver stars.
Below the sky was a large canyon with black rocks. The river running down the canyon was also black, and by the end of the river, there was an endless sea.
Tall black buildings that looked like ships were standing on both sides of the canyon.
The buildings looked like ships that were built on large platforms. The buildings had many levels and each of the levels was releasing light that varied in colors.
He could also see the balconies and windows on both sides of the canyon, it seemed like the whole canyon was turned into a base.
The masked man was floating in the air, looking down. The masked man could barely deal any damage; however, Angele could use him to block fatal attacks.
It was also an effect of the new Erin's Funeral Oration.
Angele only created one masked man at the moment, it was like having an extra life. He could block an attack that would kill his soul or physical form using the masked man.
He could see that there were many similar buildings on both sides of the river through the masked man's face. Those buildings looked like the buildings in sci-fi films and there were people walking around them.
WOO*
Something vibrated in the air and made some loud noise.
Angele was about to ask the masked man to return to the Nightmare Realm; however, he stopped immediately after hearing the noise.
A large translucent wave appeared above the canyon.
A humongous spaceship slowly appeared in the center of the wave. The spaceship was black and covered with blinking light. Smoke was rising from the surface of the ship and it seemed like the ship was damaged.
"Wait…" Angele was surprised after seeing the familiar object.
WOO WOO*
A couple black fighters left the windows on the walls and rotated around the large spaceship, leaving some blinking white light dots in the air.
The light dots dropped on the spaceship and merged into its body. The light dots were used to repair the ship.
Also, Angele heard someone's voice echoing in the air.
Angele had no idea what language it was. The voice was complicated, but it sounded a bit strange. It seemed like the voice was announcing something.
"Wait… This is like the modern world I'm familiar with…" Angele was in shock and asked the masked man to stay in the air.
The spaceship suddenly started melting when Angele was still in shock. The spaceship twisted and turned into a large monster that was floating in the air.
It was a black monster that looked like a dolphin with a fully armored knight on its back.
Angele observed the appearance of the armored knight—the knight looked familiar.
He recalled the information he collected recently and realized that the familiar feeling came from the golden book.
'This must be the Void Realm the man with a cape mentioned… The void monster has an appearance that is identical to this one…' Blue light flashed in front of his eyes and he quickly checked the information related to the Void Realm.
There were many realms that were close to the Nightmare Realm—the Void Realm was one of them, and the void monsters were their main force. All the people of the Void Realm that could sign contracts with the void monsters were called Void Riders or Star Riders and they were the strongest beings of the realm.
Angele slowly calmed down as he read the information.
The Void Realm was not the same as the modern world Angele thought, also, he was not worried that other people with the same biochip would be able to reach the same level as him.
Angele had lived in the wizard world for so many years; the biochip was just a tool to him, and he handled many dangerous situations by himself since the biochip could not react to the instantenous strikes. The biochip leveled up many times as he became stronger as well—his biochip was different from the biochip he had when he was still at Earth.
The masked man was still in the air. Angele observed the harbor for a while, and returned to the dimension fissure after the sky turned dark.
Angele checked the illusion pool again, but he failed to find any trace of the scorpion woman. He sent the coordinates of the dimension fissure to Bone. The fissure could easily be turned into a vortex portal that would link them to the Void Realm.
Angele double-checked the dead body of the dog after sending the coordinates. He had a feeling that the dog did not kill the scorpion women, they just broke the seal and left the area through the dimension fissure.
The broken statues around the pool were just like normal stone statues.
'If I'm not mistaken, the Wall of Confusion, the old woman, and the scorpion women all escaped the area through the dimension fissure; it's possible that they were the reason why the fissure appeared.'
Angele collected all the things he needed and reorganized the scene.
Minutes later, he heard footsteps coming from the entrance. A team of skeleton soldiers entered the hall, wearing black armor and holding bone weapons in hands.
"Captain Geraharden from the Bone Sea reporting in!" The leading skeleton soldier walked to Angele and bowed to him. "Master, we traveled here through a portal in the area, is this the dimension fissure you mentioned?"
White flames were burning in the skeleton soldiers' eyes and they were staring at the blue fissure.
"It's a fissure to the Void Realm. Make sure that you don't alert the residents of the Void Realm when expanding the fissure. The fissure is right above a harbor," Angele ordered.
"Yes, Master, we'll be careful!"
Angele left the ruin after the skeleton soldiers started working. He decided to return to the plain that Eye Devil was sealed at.
He flew in the air at full speed for two days and finally left the black snow mountains.
Golden desert appeared on the ground and dust was no longer falling from the dark clouds in the sky.
It was the first time that Angele flew for so long in the Nightmare Realm—he needed some time before he could reset the coordinates, so he had to travel in the air.
According to the information regarding the scorpion women he'd acquired from the woman in black, buildings like Eye Tower of Doomsday would usually cause strange side effects. Angele only needed to do some small modifications, and those side effects would become something that Angele could use while keeping the original functions of the building. The side effect would be turned into a huge amount of negative emotions.
The souls collected by the Eye Tower of Doomsday were usually souls with hatred. The negative emotions from such souls had always been a problem, however, those emotions were just what Angele needed.
The refined true form required a huge amount of negative emotions. He needed the bead of fear, the bead of anger, the bead of desperation, and the bead of madness. Also, he needed the core of fear. His power level would be greatly increased after he acquired the refined true form and he would be at the same level as Eye Devil.
Angele also needed to collect the bloodline power and keep refining it. However, with the updated biochip and the purified bloodline power, he would be able to reach the top-level of the refined true form soon.

However, the top level of the refined true form was pretty much the same as what Eye Devil showed in the Soul River Realm, and Angele was not sure if Eye Devil had shown her limits.
Three days later, he finally returned to the dark-red plain.
He could see that Eye Devil's humongous body was still being sealed by the four blue light chains.
Eye Devil had completely calmed down. There were dragon knights, giants, knights, and spiders around her. They were building the base of a certain building. It seemed like they had a plan going on.
Angele flew to Eye Devil at full speed, drawing a clear line in the air.
The guards that looked like spiders around Eye Devil stepped aside so Angele could enter the area.
Angele was not concerned about those creatures, he could easily find out the power level of the creatures below with his true form. Only several of them had the same power level of a rank 4 wizard and the rest of them were weak.
He moved to Eye Devil's waist, leaving a red line in the air.
The upper and bottom half of Eye Devil's body were connected by a floating red eyeball.
The eyeball blinked and stared at Angele.
PA*
Angele slowly landed on Eye Devil's waist.
The texture was soft, Eye Devil's flesh felt like some high-quality carpet. The air around the eyeball was strange and Angele could barely breathe.
He glanced around.
The eyeball was more than three meters tall, it was releasing a translucent force field, linking Eye Devil's body.
"I need a large number of souls, I heard that you found the dimension fissure to the Void Realm?" Eye Devil's voice came from the eyeball.
"Yeah, but I might need some help. I don't think I can enter it just by myself," Angele responded.
"Vapor and Bone are building the dimension fissure to the Abyss Realm. No one knew that you can find a mature dimension fissure. They're heading to us now," Eye Devil replied. "I decided to share all the coordinates collected by my people with you since we have to compete with the northland or Storm will have trouble handling the possible pressure."
Angele remained silent for a second, he knew that the southland and the northland never liked each other since they were not on the same boat.
There were more lords in the southland; however, none of them could compete with the Plague Lord, and the lords from different continent decided not to work with each other.
Especially the lords in northland, they were strong but only cared about their own benefits. The lords in southland sometimes worked together when the situation allowed and that was the reason why northland and southland never fought each other.
The southland and the northland would still compete when they were invading other realms. If the southland paused the invasion because of Eye Devil, the northland might be able to acquire more resources.
Eye Devil stopped for a second and continued, "You already know the situation of the southland. Storm and I oversee two large areas, but we're just the representatives. If the lords of the northland learn about my situation, it's possible that they might try to attack us."
"I understand." Angele nodded. He was about to ask something else, but he suddenly felt heat coming from behind.
Angele turned his head around as he heard the footsteps. A tall man wearing a white cape with golden edges walked to him slowly while creating a translucent staircase under his feet.
The man looked at Angele, smiled, and greeted him.
The eyeball turned to the man and looked at him. "What's the matter?"
"Lord, Elder Anker and the other 15 elders are here; also, they brought all the necessary resources for the Eye Tower of Doomsday. They'll be guarding your body and make sure that you're safe," the man responded politely.
Angele narrowed his eyes. "I'll be leaving now."
"I'm counting on you," Eye Devil said, there was nothing she could do at the moment.
Angele nodded but he did not say anything. He disappeared into a ball of flames.
BOOM*
The flame exploded and disappeared.
Eye Devil stared at the location that Angele was standing at.
"An ancient lord from the scorpion woman race… It has been millions of years since the last lord of that race appeared. He's recovering so fast that it's unbelievable."
The man with a cape also nodded. "You're right, Lord Phoenix knows how to utilize the dimension power. He probably set up many coordinates in this dimension just for the teleportation. Scorpion woman is a guardian race and he probably has some of the strongest talent abilities."
Eye Devil blinked her eye. "I heard that the scorpion woman can absorb the negative energy from the souls. He decided to help me because he wanted to absorb the energy, but it's a good thing. I need a way to deal with the energy anyways."
"I hope that's the case…" The man sighed. "I'll ask the servants to set up the polluted blood pool for you…" He stepped forward and revealed a diamond-shaped rube that he was holding in hand.
In the ruin, by the dimension fissure.
Angele's body appeared in the air as fire sparked.
A naked woman with six spider legs on the back was standing by the illusion pool.
The woman had clean skin and her private parts were covered by a purple armor. Also, the woman's cheeks were covered with tiny green eyes that were blinking.
"Spider? Are you waiting for me?" Angele recognized the woman right away.
Spider chuckled and questioned, "I heard that you found this dimension fissure. I came here first because I was in the area. Why don't we enter the fissure together and explore it a bit?"
"Well, can you deal with the Star Riders in the Void Realm? Why don't wait until others get here?" Angele's brow furrowed. Teams of skeleton soldiers were jumping into the dimension fissure and the skeleton mages were drawing green runes around the fissure.
"I'm no Eye Devil," Spider responded with a smile on the face. "Do you know that the Void Realm is weaker than the Soul River Realm now?"
"Is that so?" Angele knew the situation in the Void Realm. If the information from the golden book was real, the only strong beings in the Void Realm were the Star Riders and their void beasts. The strongest Star Rider had the similar power level as a rank 3 wizard. However, if the Star Riders had special abilities and moved as teams, it would still be a problem.
"I won't force you if you won't want to. I'll enter it before Vapor is here." Spider jumped into the blue fissure before Angele responded.
Angele stood by the illusion pool, he hesitated for a second and took out some glass tubes from the black mirror. He started crafting some potions.
He spent years doing the research about the rune circles and biology. He had no problem doing general gene modifications to the strange creatures he found and Orphie.
He was spending more time studying the rune circles recently, but he acquired many virus samples when he was doing research on the weird creatures.
He mixed some purple potion into the black powder and added some red steam into the mixture. Angele quickly bit his finger and dropped some of his blood into the final mixture.
BAM*
A ball of black smoke was released by the mixture and countless black insect eggs appeared in it.
The insect eggs were invisible and revealed themselves only after Angele supplied them with the mixture and his own blood.
'I didn't know that one day those black beetles would be helpful to me. I'll use them this time.' Angele was satisfied with the result. The insect eggs were the eggs of the black beetles that surrounded his mansion. He captured some of the beetles and retrieved their eggs.
Angele returned the test tube to the mirror and jumped into the blue dimension fissure.
His body was brushed over by some chilling wind and the harbor appeared in front of him again.
It was night and the colorful lights on the buildings were flashing. They looked like signal light from machines. There were also lights moving on the ground, it almost felt like there were searchlights in the sky.
Spider was floating by the fissure, staring at the harbor. The invisible skeleton soldiers decomposed and turned into an incomplete bone ship.
Teams of skeleton soldiers were stepping out of the fissure and all turned into parts of the bone ship.
Angele stood by Spider and started observing the harbor again.
"The Void Realm… It had its time… In the ancient time, the Ice Realm, the Void Realm, and the Wizard World were the strongest realms that were ruled by human beings," Spider explained. "Sadly, after all the ancient wars, the Void Realm is not as strong as before."
She pointed at the largest ship building in the harbor.
"Did you see that? That's the slave arena of the Void Empire."
"How do you know that?" Angele was a bit surprised and noticed that something was strange about her spider legs.
By the end of her spider legs, there were countless white strings that reached into the air and disappeared. It felt like they merged into this dimension.
Angele did a quick check and there were at least thousands of those white strings.
"Well, it's my special technique." Spider smiled. "Why don't we bring some excitement to this realm?"
She waved her right hand.
CHI*
Countless white spider webs appeared in the sky and formed an enormous spider that almost covered the sky.
Same white strings were released from the spider web and started falling like a meteor rain.
The white strings landed on the surface of the buildings, the land, and the river.
The white strings were everywhere after just a blink of an eye.

The human beings in the harbor were not alerted by the spider webs at all, it seemed like they did not see anything.
Angele saw the large spider web behind Spider spinning in the air. It looked like a huge rune circle that was releasing countless white strings.
"See, there is no hope left for this realm…" Spider's word echoed in the air. "They no longer believe in the mysterious power and have no idea what we are doing here. I didn't expect the Void Realm to be so weak after ten thousand years…"
Angele remained silent for a second and said, "Which means, even if we're not invisible, they won't be able to see us?"
"You're right, we're at a completely different level. Without the special techniques, it's impossible for them to detect us, and they probably can't see what we're doing here." It seemed like Spider had no sympathy for mortals.
Angele sighed and slowly flew to the harbor.
The black harbor was getting closer and closer. There was a curved balcony on the left above the river. A man and a woman in tight silver suits were drinking glasses of green liquid while having a conversation.
Angele slowly landed on the balcony and stood beside the two; however, they did not notice his presence at all.
He observed the two human beings. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful; however, they looked a bit strange.
Blue light flashed in front of Angele's eyes, he scanned the two's bodies and understood the reason.
The two somehow modified their appearance—their true appearances were just average after Angele recreated their original bodies using the biochip.
He stood there and listened to the two's conversation. Angele collected a lot of data and asked Zero to analyze the language.
After about half an hour, they stopped talking and started making out on the balcony.
Angele had already collected a lot of information and quickly left the balcony.
"Cough!" Suddenly, the woman started coughing.
"What happened, babe?" The man started coughing as well after finishing speaking.
Cough Cough*
Angele floated in the air. He could hear the people from the harbor coughing. He noticed that the white strings created by Spider were releasing thin white smoke. The mortals all started coughing after absorbing the smoke that was invisible to them.
He realized that Spider was trying to execute her plan.
Angele raised his head.
The whole sky was white and Spider was in the center of the large spider web. She looked down, still releasing white strings. The strings were moving to the harbor.
"What a wonderful realm…" Spider chuckled, more and more people started coughing in the harbor.
WOO WOO*
Minutes later, an intense alarm echoed above the harbor.
"Cough… Cough… A quick announcement! This is urgent! A plague is spreading in the harbor. All people who are infected should go to the plague control center and get treated as soon as possible."
The voice sounded familiar.
Angele flew to the buildings and landed on the ground.
The surface of the cliff was smooth and covered with a metallic white substance. People were quickly moving to a large building that was built on top of a hill.
People were moving on a pathway with handles on the side. There were couples with children, women, men, and individuals that were carrying suitcases.
The outfits they were wearing looked identical to the outfits people were wearing in the 20th century on Earth. Some were wearing black suits and some were wearing dresses. They covered their mouths with either hands or white masks.
"Cough…" Angele started coughing as well, however, that was from the frost damage of the dragon breath.
The mortals of the Void Realm were just living their lives, but their lives were being taken away by Spider's poisonous gas.
Angele watched the people moving to the plague control center and started thinking. He knew that the lords did not care about the people of other realms, but the scene was still terrifying.
The Soul River Realm had the power to fight back and it felt like a normal war to Angele; however, this time, Spider was just slaughtering the mortals that had no way to fight back.
"It's a serious plague I think, even the nobles are infected. Maybe there's a problem with the air?" Angele heard people talking.
"What about the normal residential areas?"
"Bad, very bad. I think something is going on, maybe the nobles are doing some weird experiments."
"Don't worry, Brother. I've already informed our parents. They'll come and pick us up soon."
"What are the workers in the plague control center doing? All they do is eat and drink!"
With the help of the chip, Angele could easily understand what the residents of the Void Realm were talking about.
'So, the nobles and the normal citizens are living in different areas.' Angele flew into the air and blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes. He noticed that the buildings on the other side of the river looked older than the buildings on this side.
"Ah!"
A man suddenly groaned.
Angele turned around. He saw a middle-aged chubby man in a black suit kneel and hold his neck tight. His face turned purple and blood was spurting out of his mouth.
His back was connected to a white string, which was pulling a translucent shadow out of his body.
The translucent shadow looked like a human being that was being pulled to the sky.
The people around the man started screaming. They all stayed several meters away from the dead body and the situation was getting worse.
"It begins…" Angele muttered as he disappeared into a ball of flames.
The harbor turned into a mess. The white strings were dragging the screaming souls to the sky—they landed on the spider web and slowly disappeared.
"Master Star Riders! A serious plague is spreading in the harbor on the north of Northland! Please report the situation to the empire plague control center immediately! We need help… Cough…" The voice started coughing as well.
A knight in black armor left one of the balconies above the river. He tapped on his left shoulder, and a humongous void beast appeared below him.
"Ordo!" the knight shouted and did a hand gesture.
"You go north and I'll take care of south!" A man in red armor nodded and flew into the sky, he was riding a red horse-shaped void beast.
The two finished communicating and the bottom halves of their bodies merged into the void beasts. They turned into two stars and flew into two opposite directions.
Angele appeared in the sky again and watched the two Star Riders leave. He remained silent.
Countless translucent souls left the mortals' bodies and flew to the large spider web. The scene was terrifying and beautiful at the same time.
Fewer people were screaming after many of them were killed. The smell of blood permeated the air.
A soul was flying to the web in front of Angele.
It was a child that was about ten years old. The child's soul was struggling in pain. Also, the soul had nothing attached to his waist.
Angele hesitated and reached to the child's arm. It felt like touching a bowl of warm water.
CHI*
The soul was absorbed into Angele's finger like a ball of smoke that had no volume.
The white string detached from the child's soul. It seemed like Spider did not care at all.
Angele did not expect something like this to happen. He stopped in the air and could feel something warm entering his body. Zero informed him that his mentality was increasing and his other attributes also increased. He just consumed a soul, his mentality and stamina were increased by 0.5.
The blue souls were passing by his body and they looked like blue raindrops that were flying in the sky.
'How cruel… but that's how it is… The weak ones stand no chance against the strong beings…' Angele sighed and started flying again.
He had no intention to consume the souls that were from the innocent mortals, but Angele decided not to interrupt the process. He wanted to go to the Eye Tower of Doomsday so he could absorb the negative emotions and create the five emotion beads.
The negative emotions in the air turned into light black smoke and part of it was absorbed by Angele, the rest of the smoke just disappeared into the air.
Angele realized that the number of negative emotions he could absorb at one time was limited, but the woman in black could absorb as much as she wanted. 80% of the negative emotions he absorbed was just impurities and he decided not to absorb any unpurified negative emotions.
He stopped by Spider.
"I'll head back now. You can take care of the rest, right?"
"Why don't you consume more souls so you'll recover faster?" Spider sounded surprised.
"There are too many impurities in those souls. I'll go to the Eye Tower of Doomsday. Those souls will be delivered there anyways," Angele responded.
"What? You want to take some of the souls away from Eye Devil?" Spider finished the sentence and noticed that there was a serious expression on Angele's face so she did not say anything else.
"I'll be leaving now." Angele turned into a ball of flames, passing through the spider web and disappearing into the translucent fissure.

Three days later…
The location where Eye Devil was sealed.
By the edge of the dark red plain, Angele was standing in a small red bush, staring at the black buildings.
The red clouds were boiling in the dark sky and illuminated the whole land.
A large black platform was built on the right of Eye Devil's body and there was a black vortex floating above the platform.
The floating vortex was releasing a strong force that was pulling all the translucent souls to it. The souls were like rain drops that were flying into the vortex.
Behind Angele was the wooden house he built a while ago. The woman in black was also staring at Eye Devil.
"Souls are everywhere… It started last afternoon," the woman muttered. "Where did you get all those souls?"
Angele remained calm, he was absorbing the black smoke coming from the woman.
"You don't need to know. Do you agree to my offer?"
"Well, I got my talent ability by luck and I don't think you can recreate it." The woman shook her head. "I fear light because of this ability and that's why I'm wearing black."
Angele looked at the woman. "No worries, we have a lot of time."
He had not practiced the Molten Core River for a long time and focused on the modified Book of Fear. He followed the method mentioned in the book and absorbed the negative emotions while practicing the Sound of the Knell.
The Book of Fear had three chapters: Prologue, Funeral Oration, Epilogue.
Angele removed the poems from the Erin's Funeral Oration since they were useless.
The prologue of the book could help him improve his bloodline power.
The funeral oration would help him purify his bloodline power and also explained how to create his true form and refined true form. The epilogue explained how the special weapons or armor were crafted. There were also some secret techniques, including the Sound of the Knell and the way to create the second or third life using the negative emotions other than fear.
Angele watched the translucent souls fly to the black ball beside Eye Devil and took out a red notebook from the mirror. He opened the notebook—it was full of incomplete formulas and some theories that were not validated yet.
He turned to the second last page, it seemed like he was excited.
A black rune circle was drawn on the leather paper of the notebook. There were complicated rune circles in the large rune circle. It looked like a well-designed pocket watch that was full of gears.
Strangely, the small rune circles were all rotating and making some strange noises.
"The Ritual of Black Death…" Angele rubbed the rune circle carefully.
He modified the rune circle slightly and there were five empty slots. He wanted to use them for something else.
"I only need to put the five emotion beads into those slots and I'll be able to create my refined true form; however, it'll take years…" Angele closed the notebook and handed it to the woman. "Hold this."
"What's this?" The woman was confused.
"This book will help me absorb the negative energy around your body so you can have some nice dreams during the night. I forced you to leave your hometown, this is some compensation," Angele responded in a calm tone. "I'll check the negative energy absorbed by the book later. You can stay here—Eye Devil's servants will deliver food to you—or you can stay around Eye Devil's body. However, you must stay here until I finish my business."
"How long will it take?" The woman was not anxious at all. "I was sealed for a long time and I don't care if I have to stay here for a bit longer."
"I'm not sure, it depends on how many souls they collect…" Angele sighed and looked at Eye Devil.
"It won't be too long…" he muttered.
For some reason, the woman suddenly felt fear toward the man she was staring at.
"Go now… I'll be leaving…" Angele turned around and disappeared into a ball of flames.
The woman checked the notebook and remained silent. She had a general idea of what Angele was about to do. There was only one way to collect souls, which was to kill more living beings.
Four years later…
The main world.
On top of a mountain between the Molten River and the Tarry River.
The blue sky was reflected on the surface of the mirror-like volcano lake.
The area around the lake was surrounded by random stone pieces that varied in shape and some vibrant green trees.
There were birds twittering and beasts roaring in the forest.
It was noon. A group of people wearing black robes with red badges on their chests were waiting quietly by the lake. They stood there quietly, staring at the sky.
In the front, there were two old men with messy hair and long beards, and there were four black robes standing behind them.
"It's almost the time," one of the old men spoke. He turned his head around and looked at a female black robe—a young woman wearing pearl earrings.
"Isabel, where is your grandfather?"
She chuckled and responded, "He'll be here in half an hourglass."
"Is that so?" The old man nodded.
"Don't worry, the First Elder is the strongest wizard of the Elemental Hand. He'll be here on time," the other old man said. "We had an agreement with the alliance and we've already decided to face the chaos together."
"True. With the First Elder helping us, everything will be alright." The two old men started a random conversation.
Behind the four black robes, there was a group of wizards with mermaid-shaped badges on their chests—there were about ten of them. In the center of the group, a young man with a pale face was waiting patiently and a middle-aged man was talking to him.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Green, happy, right? You mother is finally back."
"Yeah, I'm happy, but I'm surprised that it took her so long to complete the mission…" Angele smiled as well.
"Of course it took a while… She's one of the elders, even the rank 3 wizards spend years on their experiments. Just like me, I'm the head of the Human Resource department in Mermaid's Song and I have a lot of resources, but I lost ten years of effort in the recent lab accident…" The man looked depressed. "Ten years, Green. All my efforts turned to ashes. I'd break down mentally if I'm a weak man. A wizard's life can be hard too…"
"True. I'm on the same boat as master Brum." A middle-aged woman on the side joined the conversation. She had a pair of shapely eyes and a serious expression on the face. It was Masha, she communicated with Angele a lot after the tomb exploration.
"Master Masha, there was an accident in your lab too?" Brum questioned in a low voice.
"Well, yeah, when I was at the northern ice plain…"
Angele smiled as he listened to Masha and Brum's conversation.
They were here to welcome the army back. The two old men were heads of the Eagle Eye School and War School.
The four black robes behind the heads were representatives of the organizations that worked for Elemental Hands: The Wind Valley, the Wandering Farm, and the Gold River. The granddaughter of the First Elder, Miss Isabel, was also here—she was also one of the new Energy Retrievers.
The people with strong backgrounds were all here, the only reason that Angele was in the team was that he was the only son of Elder Vivian.
Angele glanced at Isabel. They met once during the party held by Shozo and he knew that the girl was the second granddaughter. The people around Isabel were probably also inheritors of the elders.
He stood in the team and waited patiently. Couple minutes later, he heard thunder rumbling in the sky and the noise was approaching.
In the blue sky, a group of pink light dots appeared, flying to the welcome team.
"They're here." One of the old men put on a pair of glasses and arranged his long robe.
"Urartian, you or me?" He looked at the other old man.
"I'll do it." Urartian stepped forward and took out a short black wand. He held the wand in hand and pointed at the sky.
A water beam spurted out of the lake and flew toward the pink dost in the sky.
KA*
The water beam froze and turned into a wide ice lance as they left the lake. The surface of the lake started freezing as well.
The ice shreds splashed in the air and the top of the wide ice lance turned into a large smooth platform—it could easily fit dozens of flying mounts.
A long staircase appeared on the surface of the ice lance, leading to the frozen surface of the lake.
A simple parking platform was quickly created.
Urartian lowered his wand and nodded slightly with his right hand on the beard.
"Dandy, what do you think? This is a new ice spell that I modified recently."
"Well, not bad, but mine is still better." Dandy chuckled.
Urartian glared at Dandy and looked at the sky.
All the people at the scene raised their heads and looked at the sky.

Chapter 471: Welcome Party (2)

There were dozens of red dots approaching—they landed on top of the ice lance slowly. The red dots were owls with black robes on their backs.
There were also couple warriors in white armors on the owls' backs.
The two old men stepped forward quickly.
"Urartian, Dandy, it has been a while." A bald man chuckled and walked down the ice staircase. The others were also jumping off the backs of the large owls.
Behind the bald man were Vivian and a middle-aged man with a pale face. Other members followed after the three, including the warriors.
The two old men walked to the bald man and hugged him. "First Elder, we accomplished our mission and we've captured Ys Reagan."
"Huh? He's the one that betrayed us for an enemy, right? How should we deal with him?" the First Elder spoke in a serious tone. "They were going after Green, right, Vivian?" He turned his head around and looked at Vivian.
"That's correct, but I have no idea how Green got in the trouble." Vivian's brow furrowed. "There might be some misunderstanding."
"What do you think? Fifth Elder?" First Elder looked at the middle-aged man who hadn't said anything yet.
The man responded calmly, "Anyway, Elder Vivian contributed the most during the war." He did not say anything else.
The elders decided to change the topic and they started talking about the situation in the central continent.
They started walking down the stairs as they talked.
Vivian was in the front and she waved at Angele.
Angele carefully moved through the crowd and walked to Vivian.
"Vice Department Head, I heard that you had not worked in the Mermaid's Song in a while." Vivian's brow furrowed. "Don't worry too much about the past. Everything can be solved."
Angele noticed that Vivian was implying something, it was possible that Vivian found out about some of his secrets. He listened to her words and nodded.
Vivian still had her clean and smooth skin with long blonde hair trailing over her shoulders, reflecting the sunlight. She still looked beautiful even when she was narrowing her attractive sharp eyes in a furrow.
Vivian was surrounded by a cold aura; she dressed just as Henn, and they both looked like mysterious beauties. However, Henn was like a siren, while Vivian was just cold to people who were not related to her.
Angele followed after Vivian, they talked about their recent experiences and some important events.
There was already a large airship that looked like a brown boat waiting by the coast when they walked to the lake.
They entered the airship one by one and started to have conversations with their old friends. The atmosphere was light and happy.
Vivian and Angele walked to the railing as the airship sailed. They put their hands on the railing and looked at the egg-shaped lake.
"How's your progression with the Molten Core River?" Vivian wondered.
"It's… going well…" Angele was not sure how he should respond.
Angele had not practiced the Molten Core River in a while, he spent most of his time on the Book of Fear. The main world was far away from the Nightmare Realm, so the realm difference was extremely strong. There was no way that his true power could be utilized in the main world.
Although his mentality was approaching 500, in the wizard world, his mentality was still relatively low.
"Cough…" Angele started coughing again.
"What happened?" Vivian noticed the changes immediately and put her hand on Angele's forehead. Something warm entered Angele's body right away.
"What's this?" She was surprised. "Dragon breath…? Were you attacked by a dragon?"
There was a bitter smile on Angele's face. "I found a ghost knight when exploring the tomb. He exploded and I was caught in the dragon breath for some reason. No worries. I can handle it myself."
"I'm not familiar with the dragons, but I have an old friend who might be able to help. I'll take you to him." Vivian lowered her voice.
"It's alright, I can handle it. There's not much frost damage left." Angele was a bit speechless, the eye-gouging dragon failed to cure his wound, and he was certain that Vivian's friend would not be able to help him as well. "We should keep it as a secret."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure."
They stood by the railing. Vivian was slightly shorter than Angele. She raised her head and looked at the young man.
"I know that you're hiding something from me. Just let me know when you need help. I'm worried." She rubbed Angele's cheeks.
"I understand." Angele nodded. He could see that Vivian was tired after the war. Also, it seemed like Vivian was worried about the future of this land—Angele could see the confusion in her eyes.
"Don't worry. I'll be with you." He reached to Vivian and grabbed her hands.
"Thanks," Vivian responded, she sounded happy. "It's great that you're thinking about me. Just don't make too much trouble, the chaos is coming…"
"Well, I'm not a kid anymore…" Angele shrugged and an innocent look appeared on his face.
"I'm a rank 3 wizard now."
"Yeah, yeah… You're a rank 3 wizard now…" Vivian chuckled. She turned her head to the side and looked at the snow mountains.
Vivian knew that rank 3 was the highest rank Angele could reach with his talent level. She realized that a long time ago.
Vivian was an elder and she could easily check a rank 3 wizard's life energy force field and see if he could become a rank 4 wizard. She noticed that Angele reached rank 3 when they chatted through the telescope.
The energy particles she released into Angele's body confirmed her thoughts. Vivian knew that Angele did not have the talent to become a rank 4 wizard, but she was surprised by the dark energy in Angele's body. Also, it seemed like that the dark energy could not be removed from Angele's life energy force field.
'It's fine, I'll protect my son.' Vivian looked at Angele and made the decision. 'I'll make sure that he can live a happy life… Also, he still has the chance to reproduce.' A bitter smile appeared on Vivian's face as she thought. She knew that the members of Fenrir Family all had problems with reproduction. Wizards in the Elemental Hand and the Tarry River all heard about the rumors. That was the main reason why Vivian only had one child after all those years.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Vivian's long hair was flying in the air and it looked like golden waves.
Angele held Vivian's hands tight.
It had been four years and all the world stone altars were prepared. The realm war would start in 13 days and the Dark Wizard Tower's army was prepared. They were ready to enter the wizard world.
Angele collected a lot of information using the purple ring. Dark Wizard Tower's main targets were the areas with large numbers of wizards.
The strong wizards of the Dark Wizard Tower were about to build 15 chaos holes so the prophets would no longer work. They only needed to wait for the war to start.
No one would know what the outcome of the war would be.
In the Nightmare Realm, Angele spent four years absorbing the negative emotions that were purified by the woman and he successfully created five masked men who could block five fatal strikes for him. That was the reason why Vivian detected the dark energy in his life energy force field.
He also created three of the five emotion beads. The most important bead was the bead of fear. It was the core of the five beads. With the Black Death Ritual, he was getting closer and closer to the refined true form.
His power level was slowly increasing in the wizard world but with the Dark Wizard Tower, Angele could still protect Vivian during the war.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you when the chaos comes." Angele smiled.
Vivian nodded. "I know." She thought Angele was just trying to make her feel better, but she was still happy.
"Ah, right, take this." She suddenly remembered something and handed a small box over to Angele.
Angele grabbed the box and looked at it. It was a box made of green jade the size of a palm. It looked like a box for accessories.
"It's a rare item someone gifted me. I don't need it, so I'll just give it to you." Vivian smiled. "Alright, I'll have some rest. Wake me up when we arrive at the council."
"Sure." Angele nodded and watched Vivian walk to the cabin. He slowly opened the box.
PA*
The box opened and made some crisp noise.
The box was filled up with brown mud and there was a ball of green grass in the center. It looked like some random grass from the roadside.
It seemed like the grass knew that Angele was looking at it.
The grass ball twisted and started transforming. It looked like a green furry monster.
The grass ball slowly turned into a human-shaped living being that was made of grass. The grass man straightened its back and looked at Angele.
'Wait… This is!' Angele was surprised.
The Origin Grass, it could block a fatal attack for its owner just like the masked men. Also, the Origin Grass could teleport its owner somewhere far from the original location, but that could only be activated once.
It was nearly impossible for a rank 4 wizard to acquire a rare item like this. The chance was the same as a mortal surviving an attack from a soul form.
No one would gift Vivian something like this unless someone was obsessed with her. It was a lie. The owner of the Origin Grass needed to feed it with his own mentality and blood. Vivian probably spent a lot of mentality and blood on it since it was a large Origin Grass.
Origin Grass would only recognize its owner and the related inheritors through the owner's bloodline.
It had to be one of Vivian's final resorts. She wanted to make sure that Angele could survive the incoming chaos and decided to give it to the only one she loved.

Chapter 472: Preparation (1)

Angele inhaled deeply and carefully put the box into the black mirror.
The altitude of the airship had already increased and the lake on the land looked like a palm-sized tofu. There were strange creatures flying over the snow mountains.
A thin layer of pink barrier appeared around the airship, blocking the intense wind.
Angele stood by the railing for a while and decided to walk around.
"Green, do you have time?" A male voice came from the side.
Angele turned around and saw a man with a cold expression on his face.
"Head of the Intelligence Department. Do you want to ask me about Eugene?"
"Yeah." The man nodded. "Don't worry. It's related to Elder Vivian and we'll proceed with caution."
Angele thought for a while and opened his mouth. "Everything started at the air transportation city. I assume you already know that I have a friend from the air transportation city."
"Yes, we do." The man nodded. "You and your friends had a fight with Eugene's young sister and killed her. That's why Eugene is going after you."
"Yeah, that's pretty much the situation." Angele was not concerned, he knew that the Intelligence Department already had the information they needed. The man was just here to confirm the information since the incident was related to the son of an elder.
"Much appreciated," the man replied politely, turned around, and left.
Masha walked to Angele after she saw that the man left.
"Green, the war is over. There'll be a party for the wizards of the central continent at the Ice Lord Mountain of the Northern Ice Plain. Are you interested?"
Angele hesitated. "Who is the host?"
"The new Mirror Lord, a beauty that's quite attractive. Also, she doesn't have a partner yet." Masha smiled. "What do you think? You might have a chance."
"I'll pass. Are there any other events for the elders?" Angele wondered.
"They need to rest. They lost a lot of resources and wizards on the battlefield, they need to refill the energy pool. I think they'll spend years here." Masha shrugged. "Finally, the peaceful life is back. I don't even have time to do research during the war. Ah, the magic mount racing is coming soon. It's held once every five years. Are you interested? You'll be able to see well-trained or modified mounts during the competition. We can catch some special mounts and join the race."
"Sorry, I have something that I need to take care of." Angele declined the offer.
"Fine, I'll find someone else to go with me." Masha shrugged. "Also, I heard the elders brought back a group of slaves. There is a birdman from the Feather Race… The birdman is…"
Masha just would not stop and Angele was listening to her stories patiently.
Minutes later, the large palm-sized headquarter of Elemental Hand appeared on the ground, and the airship started landing.
The elders went to the meeting hall right after the ship landed. The rest of them returned to their position as well.
Vivian spent several minutes talking to Angele. He walked straight to the volcano ruin after finishing the conversation. He was still worried about the Dark Wizard Tower's plan and his progression in the Nightmare Realm.
The war was coming and there were many things that he needed to pay attention to. He was getting more and more anxious every day.
He rubbed the purple ring and information was transferred into his brain.
The Count had successfully activated all the world stone altars and the dimension gate was ready to use.
Angele concluded the information he collected as he walked into the unpopulated forest. Suddenly, a strong and cold mentality wave was transferred to him through the purple ring.
He stopped and stood by a red tree.
"The war is coming. Me, Duke Mystery, will complete the preparation. Count Wheat and Green, please check all the altars again. We need to make sure that everything is done properly. The return of the empire is important. Resources are not the only thing we're going after and I hope you can understand." The deep and slow voice echoed in Angele's ears.
"Third Legion, War Elephant Legion, and Wood Dragon Legion, please go through the dimension gate. Complete the process within three sun hours and start building the base and the energy pool immediately after you arrive at the destination. Don't disappoint the Grand Lich."
The mentality wave disappeared into the air, but his voice was still echoing.
'That's one of the five dukes from the Fairy Empire, Duke Mystery; he's also an important member of the Dark Wizard Tower. His mentality wave is so strong!' Angele's expression turned serious. The man's mentality wave was deep like a sea and extremely cold. For some reason, the Duke reminded him of Spider—Spider was probably stronger, but their power level had to be close.
Angele found an empty area and checked the surroundings. He made sure that he was not followed and disappeared into a ball of flames.
Angele teleported to the area around Eye Devil's body.
In front of Eye Devil's humongous body, a black building that looked like a pyramid was built on the land, releasing intense black smoke.
On top of the building was a large black ball with a diameter of more than ten meters. Countless blue souls were being absorbed by the black ball which felt like an endless abyss.
Angele appeared in the area in front of the black pyramid, which was guarded by the eyeball knights carefully.
The guards were wearing black armor with red spears in their hands and the eyeballs in their helmets were coated by a dark red glow. They were scanning everything in the area using their mentality waves.
Angele was wearing a black robe. He glanced at the pyramid.
The black pyramid had the similar height as Eye Devil, they were both more than 1000 meters tall. Eye Devil's head was at the same level as the black ball and she was staring at it.
Angele walked to the pyramid and stepped on the black staircase. The eyeball knights on the side all bowed to him.
"You're here." Red light flashed in Eye Devil's helmet and she looked at Angele. "You're way too early. The next gathering is not here yet."
"Well, I have something to ask." Angele's brow furrowed. He teleported in flames and arrived at the top of the pyramid seconds later. He stood by the black ball.
On the platform by the ball, a woman in black was holding a red leather notebook and sitting on the ground with her legs crossed. It seemed like she was thinking of something.
"You're here?" The woman in black noticed Angele's presence and woke up. She quickly stood up.
"I still have questions about the elemental creatures… Could you help me?" she questioned politely.
Angele asked the woman to help him purify the negative emotions and decided to pay her back by teaching her some basics of the wizards. Sadly, the woman could not even understand the things that were taught to the apprentices.
The subjects that all the rank 2 apprentices could understand took the woman couple years just to memorize the basics. If the woman was born in the wizard world, she would be a mortal her whole life.
Strangely, the woman had never mentioned that she wanted to return to her own realm. She just studied all the things that Angele taught her.
"How's my Black Death Ritual?" Angele questioned in a low voice.
"It's going well, but I need couple more months." The woman shook her head.
Angele narrowed his eyes and stopped asking. He turned around and looked at Eye Devil.
Eye Devil was still sealed by four blue chains.
"Where are Bone and Spider now?"
"Spider is in the Void Realm and she's killing everything she sees. Also, it seems like she found something interesting and she'll probably stay there for a while. Bone and Vapor finished off Burning Realm. They decided to meet Sun God in the Abyss Realm," Eye Devil responded.
"They conquered three realms in four years? That's fast." Angele smiled. "However, it'll be great if they could proceed faster. I'm still recovering but there's something that can speed up my progress."
"Huh? What do you need?" Eye Devil was interested.
Angele took out a palm-sized metal box from the black mirror. Translucent energy runes were floating around the metal box. The glowing white runes were rotating around the box. It seemed like the runes were guarding the box.
"The ritual power of the Destruction Eye? What are you trying to protect with such a strong power?" Eye Devil recognized the runes and she was even more interested.
Angele smiled and did not say anything.
He moved his hand through the runes and opened the box. Inside was a smaller black box.
He opened the black box and there was a slim test tube in the sand that filled up the box.
Blue and red liquid was flowing in the test tube. Strangely, the two colorful solutions did not merge with each other. They twisted around like two snakes.
Angele carefully took the test tube out of the black box.
"This is the seed I created using the special creatures from different realms.
"That's it? What will it do?" Eye Devil checked the test tube carefully but did not detect any strong energy or mentality waves. Besides the strong life energy inside the test tube, there was nothing noticeable.

Angele smiled. "This is just a seed. You need to plant the seed and nourish it before you can get the result."
"Well, show me the result, then." Eye Devil was getting impatient.
Angele shook his head. "You only need to ask someone to take the test tube to a realm that is full of life energy, like the Sea Realm. Pour just one drop of the liquid on the ground and everything will be good to go."
"That's it?" Eye Devil remembered something. "Don't tell me it's…"
"Yeah, it's a plague." Angele returned the test tube to the box and handed it over to an eyeball knight carefully.
"Plague will be affected by many things, for example the energy, the magnetic field, the force field, and the air. I don't think your seed will be able to handle all challenges," Eye Devil responded.
"No worries. It's fine if I fail. It's just a test anyway." Angele had no interest in the slaughters that were happening in other realms. He struggled when he made the decision. However, it would take too long for him to create the refined true form if he could not collect a large number of souls in a short period of time.
"Alright, how's the progression? You're searching for other realms, right?" Angele questioned in a calm tone.
"We've confirmed the coordinates of the Mist Realm. It'll take us some time to confirm those of Tree Realm and the wizard world. It's easier to get the coordinates of the wizard world this time. It seems like the Nightmare Realm is connected to the wizard world by a dimension fissure, but we can't find it," Eye Devil responded.
"I hope things are going well," Angele replied.
"Yeah, but the Tree Realm and the wizard world are not good targets. The creatures there are relatively strong. We will take care of those two realms after we get most of the resources in the closer realms. We'll have to work with the northland for these two worlds," Eye Devil spoke in a deep tone.
"Are those realms strong?" Angele was a bit surprised.
"Yeah, I know about them too." The woman joined the conversation after hearing their words. "A strong being of the wizard world was summoned to the Soul River Realm years ago and defeated one of the lords from the Nightmare Realm. The wizard world and the Soul River Realm were just slightly weaker than the Nightmare Realm."
"You know a lot, not bad for a young one." Eye Devil chuckled. "We had a war against the wizard world. The strong wizards were not bad at all. I heard that the Tree Realm was once a realm beast from the Chaos Realm, but that was millions of years ago. We're not sure if the realm beast is still alive, but the creatures in the Tree Realm are strong."
"Also, the Chaos Realm might not be the strongest realm since there are so many realms. It's endless. Realms are being eliminated and created all the time. It's just a circle of life."
Angele was a bit surprised that Eye Devil had a lot of interesting knowledge.
"Alright, I'll pay Bone a visit. This is the food I brought you." He took out a black case from the mirror and handed it over to the woman in black. He said goodbye to Eye Devil and walked down the stairs.
He cast the Elemental Teleportation several times and returned to the area in front of the Pyramid. He suddenly heard something soaring in the sky before he could contact Bone.
Angele looked at the sky—three blue stars dropped from the dark-red sky and landed on the pyramid, turning into three living beings and starting a conversation with Eye Devil.
'Are they from the abyss?" Angele recognized them quickly. Eye Devil communicated with different people a lot recently and tried everything she could to speed up the progress. Angele assumed that Eye Devil was still hiding the most important coordinates from others. She was also communicating with the abyss and the storm. Angele was not concerned, he also needed the souls.
Angele lowered his head and rubbed the surface of the green skull.
"Bone, are you there?"
"Yeah, why?" Bone's voice came from the skull. "I'm having fun here. Do you want to join us?"
"Can you speed up the progress?" Angele questioned in a low voice.
"I'm afraid not. Vapor is crazy, he's killing everything he sees and I don't even know where he is right now. Also, it'll take a while until my whole army travels through the dimension vortex."
"I have something that might help you speed up the progress," Angele responded in a calm tone.
"Huh? Did you find something valuable from all the bones you took from me?" Bone was interested.
"You're right," Angele confirmed. He went to the Bone Sea and collected the bones of many strong beings. He extracted what he needed and combined all the invasive bloodlines with strong life force together. He then altered the result using the power of the Nightmare Realm and turned the substance into a terrifying germ that was out of his control. He only needed to spread the germ to the realms that were connected to the Nightmare Realm.
"I'll send my servants to you."
"It's fine. I'll go there by myself." Angele made up his mind.
Five hours later…
In the sky of Nightmare Realm, the red clouds turned into a vortex above the plain. The vortex rotated and expanded to the far side.
Inside the vortex was a dark tunnel surrounded by dark clouds.
Angele was flying to the red vortex at full speed.
The clouds around the vortex were all rotating slowly. Angele felt like he was traveling in a tornado and the only thing he could see were the boiling clouds.
The red clouds turned dark as he advanced. It felt like that the terrifying clouds could devour Angele if he was not careful.
Air was sucked out of the tunnel created by the clouds and Angele could not breathe. He had to hold his breath so the gas inside his body would not be sucked out.
It was uncomfortable and quiet. Angele was squeezed into a narrow space.
Angele had a lot of strange feelings after entering the vortex.
He traveled a long time in the tunnel and finally saw a green dot in the front.
CHI*
Angele turned into a ray of red light and rushed to the green dot.
His sight was brightened up. A green world appeared in front of Angele's eyes.
The sky and the land were green. Intense green mist permeated the air and the green light that came from nowhere was the only source of light.
Angele raised his head and looked at the sky. There was no sun, no clouds, and everything was green.
He floated in the air and looked down.
There was a vibrant and quiet forest on the ground. The trees covered the whole land and the forest was endless.
However, he could not find any living beings.
Angele glanced around, he did not see Bone and Vapor.
He took out the green skull again.
"Where are you now?"
"The Abyss Realm. This place has changed since the last time I was here. Also, Vapor said that he just found a new dimension vortex that came from nowhere. We decided to check it out. You just traveled through the tunnel, right? There's no living being there. We already set up a dimension vortex at a different location."
"Alright, I'll leave after I finish my business. Don't worry about it." Angele's brow furrowed and he put the green skull back in the mirror.
He took out a white box from the black mirror that looked identical to the one he showed to Eye Devil. Angele opened the box and opened the black box inside.
He carefully took out the test tube and broke it.
Crack*
Broken pieces of glass dropped down and the liquid in the test tube vaporized as it contacted the air. The red and blue steam merged into the air quickly.
Angele quickly moved away from the steam—it seemed like he did not want to contact it. He dropped the broken test tube to the ground after all the liquid vaporized. He quickly turned around and flew into the vortex.
Something changed after Angele disappeared into the vortex.
The trees on the ground twisted and stood up from the mud like they were living beings.
ROAR*
The tallest tree roared like a lion, its body surrounded by green flames.
The other trees were also surrounded by green flames and the forest turned into a sea of blazing green.
The germs were blown to the enormous trees, they landed on the trees and merged into their bodies without making any noise.
The trees suddenly calmed down and it was like nothing happened.
Seconds later.
BOOM*
A tall tree exploded and countless insects flew out of the tree trunk, moving to other trees around.
The other trees started exploding as well; black insects also spurted out of the tree trunks.
The insects were long and slim. They looked like maggots with wings.
BAM*
Green flames appeared around the tallest tree again and the tree struck the black insects with its palm.
"Nunuhanliya!" the tree shouted in some strange language. It sounded like the tree was scared and it kept hitting the other trees.
Piles of dead insects dropped from the holes created by the tree.
More and more germs were generated as the trees exploded. The black insects were everywhere and they were destroying everything they contacted.
Minutes later, the black insects were like a drop of ink on a green carpet. The ink was expanding like crazy and the green area started turning dark at full speed.

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.

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.

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.

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.
