Angele's sight blurred after he recreated his shadow.

"Are you alright? This area is also blocked and you'll need some time before you can get used to the shadow teleportation." A male voice came from the front.

Angele shook his head and raised his head. Everything in his sight was ghosting.

A middle-aged man in a gray robe was standing in front of him. The man's face was yellow and he was staring at Angele; however, in Angele's sight, it looked like the man had two heads.

The voice also sounded like it was from the far side.

"I'm fine. I'll get used to it soon. My body structure was slightly unstable," Angele responded in a low voice.

The man with two heads nodded. "Alright… I'll… You can… I…"

The man's voice could barely be interpreted due to the communication block.

"Sure, go ahead," Angele responded after guessing what the man said.

'I hate the communication block. I'll never send my shadow form to areas like this again…' He shook his head again but his sight was still blurred.

The man bowed to Angele, turned around, and left the forest.

After about half an hour, Angele finally stabilized his shadow form with the help of the biochip. However, his shadow was weakened again, and his mentality level was the same as a rank 3 apprentice.

Angele stepped out of the forest and stopped by a wide river. There was a small island in the center of the river, covered with red buildings.

The buildings all had round ceilings that were covered with stripes. They looked like buildings with umbrellas on the top; there was yellow light coming out of the windows.

Most of the buildings were red, some were yellow, and the rest was gray. There were children running around on the narrow paths between the buildings.

Several old wizards were playing chess by the river, all wearing long white robes.

Angele walked to the river and glanced around. There was a small forest on the right side and there was a stone staircase on the left.

He walked to the stone staircase and the scene behind the river was revealed as he changed his position.

On the other side of the river, a large building that looked like a tent caught his eyes.

The tent was painted red, yellow, and gray. There was a window that looked like a fan on the surface of the tent which looked like a religious symbol. The engravings on the window were complicated and mysterious.

The window was connected to a large door and there were two yellow torches on both sides of the door.

The man that left the forest first appeared and explained, "That's the Anfaria Wizard High Council. The wizard lords and the representatives from different areas used to have meetings there."

"Please follow me, Master. Master Alice is in charge of your application, but she's having a meeting right now."

"Where's the general supervisor? I thought the city controlled by the Shadow Lord had already become one of our bases." Angele's brow furrowed.

"The high council is still here and we won't tell the public that we have already taken control of the city. Also, Master Alice is now the Shadow Lord."

They talked to each other through energy particles.

Angele nodded and looked at the enormous building.

"I heard the wizard lords all have their own councils and they take turns to hold the meetings. I wonder if I'll be able to see the other councils."

"Soon you will." The man smiled and stopped talking. He turned around and started walking.

Angele smiled as well and followed after the man.

He felt like he was treated differently after the war started.

Angele could only use the ring to contact Turin and Lela who were still working for him. He could no longer contact the important members of the organization, including Victoria, it seemed like he decided to serve someone else. Also, his clearance level for the intel center was lowered.

Turin was still talking to him politely and Lela's attitude never changed, but Angele was not sure what they were planning.

He followed the man upstairs and arrived at a street by the river. The street was empty, only a team of guards in red armor was patrolling the area and their footsteps were extremely loud.

"This way please." The man entered a small path and stopped by a tiny side door.

"Please enter the door. I'll be waiting outside." The man had a blank expression on the face, however, Angele noticed that the man was anxious.

Angele nodded but did not say anything else. He pushed the wooden door open.

Creek*

The red wooden door opened slowly.

Inside, it was a dark room. There was a lighted candle on the table by the corner. The flame shook slightly as the door opened.

"This is Purple Eye. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Master Alice," Angele spoke in a low voice.

The room was silent and no one responded.

Angele's brow furrowed and he decided to repeat the sentence.

However, no one responded. He waited several minutes and decided to repeat the sentence again.

"This is Purple Eye, I'm sorry to—"

"You're from Tarry River, right? Do you like my bear?" A girl's voice came from the other corner of the room and stopped Angele from finishing his sentence.

Angele finally noticed that there was another table in a dark corner and a wooden puppet was standing by the table. It seemed like he was interrupted by a special force field so he failed to detect the puppet.

The wooden puppet was wearing a white dress and it was doing something on the table.

Strangely, the wooden puppet had no head and was about one meter tall.

Angele glanced at the table.

The headless wooden puppet was cutting its own head.

The puppet cut the skin open and removed the top of the skull. The head looked just like a head of a human and Angele could see the brain. The blood that dripped down the table stank.

The puppet hand was complicated and beautiful. The puppet was slowly ripping the white brain apart.

"Bear?" Angele wondered. "You mean Brandy?"

The wooden puppet stopped moving and grabbed the puppet head. The eyes of the head were facing Angele. The puppet head looked just like a girl's head.

Clean skin, long blonde hair, and clear blue eyes. The eyes were still blinking. If the head wasn't soaked in blood, the scene would be much better.

"So, you've already seen my bear. Why are you here then? As you can see, I'm busy. If you have any request, you'll have to do me a favor first."

"I just want to ask you a question. How will you handle the Elemental Hand? That's the organization that I'm working for," Angele questioned.

"Hmm…" The wooden puppet held its head in hand and started stirring the brain. "Let me think…"

The noise made by the brain that was being stirred was a bit disturbing.

"Huh… You don't need to worry about it. You signed the contract and the organization will not break the promise," Alice responded after she thought for a while. "Alright, now I've answered your question. You need to do me a favor."

Angele narrowed his eyes and was about to say something else.

"Bill," Alice suddenly shouted.

CHI*

Angele's head ached. His sight blurred and his body was pushed away by something. He lost his consciousness right away.

"Well, I thought the shadow form has a brain too… Boring…" Alice's voice echoed in Angele's ears before the shadow form was destroyed.

Angele sighed deeply as he opened his eyes. He looked at the purple ring and he had mixed emotions about the situation.

Based on Alice's attitude, he realized that the organization was no longer treating him as an important member after they executed their plan. He knew this day would come, but he did not expect it to be so fast.

The Dark Wizard Tower was dodging his questions and the elites were only working for him because of the contracts they signed.

'I need to check the situation constantly. If the situation gets worse, I'll have to… My core is almost completed anyway.' Angele slowly stood up and rubbed the surface of the ring.

'Let me check what I have first, maybe there's something I need.' Angele stood in the stone chamber and closed his eyes. He started thinking and analyzing.

Angele checked his mentality using the biochip and the total number had reached over three hundred thousand. However, all the mentality was from the negative emotions and he could not utilize it yet. He was focusing on three cores; however, he would still be weaker than the lords in the Nightmare Realm even with the cores.

The mentality crystals were created by the mentality and three different talent spells were engraved on them. They were the most important cores to Angele.

The three dark-red cores were rotating slowly in the mentality created by the negative emotions. That was the reason why the main world applied so much pressure on Angele.

If he could absorb all the mentality, the realm power would not be able to weaken him too much, and he could reach rank 5 or 6. That would also be Eye Devil's rank if she entered this world.

However, the resistance would be much stronger when he tried to enter the main world if he had a high power level.

The three diamond-shaped mentality crystals were releasing some red light. A tiny white lion was sleeping in the light, and a small golden phoenix was rotating around the lion like a satellite.

'How can I apply the negative emotions to my talent ability or create a new mentality core?

'Zero, check if I can create a rank 4 wizard's mentality crystal.'

'Task created… Analysis started…'

Chapter 482: Test (3)

Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu

Angele only read two pages of the Book of Light, however, he learned a lot from the information he acquired.

The most important thing the Book of Light taught him was the nature of light.

Angele tried to understand the nature of the mentality from the negative emotions when the biochip was doing the simulation. The learning procedure might help him modify his talent abilities.

The negative emotions were purified by the woman in black using countless souls so the mentality he acquired was intense—it was nearly impossible for him to utilize it.

In the Nightmare Realm, he had the realm power assisting him and he could easily use the power of the negative emotions; however, there was nothing he could do in the main world.

Angele released a mentality wave, but it was blocked right after it contacted the black smoke.

'Do I have to teleport to the Nightmare Realm to use the power?' Angele sat down with his legs crossed and his brow furrowed.

'Maybe I should…' He suddenly raised his hand and started drawing random strings and runes on the ground.

About ten minutes later, a bunch of strange runes appeared on the ground. The runes formed a chubby scorpion.

It was the sign of Angele's refined true form.

"With my bloodline, I summon thee, the strong being of another realm…" Angele started the incantation using the ancient language and chanted every rune on the ground.

The sign created by the runes was using the scorpion woman's sign as the core. The signs of the Son of Sun and the single-eyed giant were also combined into the runes—that was the reason why it looked so complicated.

Angele had to chant all the runes to complete the incantation.

After about ten minutes, he finally finished the long and deep incantation.

The sign that he drew on the ground released some gentle black light and the runes started vibrating. It looked like the runes were releasing some translucent waves.

"I knew it." The result was expected.

"I can use some of my power from the Nightmare Realm by summoning myself to the wizard world," Angele muttered.

He released some mentality waves to the sign when the runes were still vibrating.

CHI*

Suddenly, a terrifying and warm mentality wave that was mixed with the negative emotions was released from the sign. The mentality wave turned into a black electric pulse and charged into Angele's forehead.

Angele did not stop the electric pulse from entering his body.

A normal creature would be severely injured when contacting the negative emotions unless the creature had the same power level as Angele's refined true form; however, Angele was not hurt at all.

Everything was going as Angele planned, the dark mentality was just rotating around his mentality crystals since it could not enter those crystals.

Also, he could easily control the negative emotions.

Angele moved the dark mentality to a large number of negative emotions around the mentality crystals.

The dark mentality merged into the negative emotions without any problem. It felt like the negative emotions were a big ball of cotton.

Also, the dark mentality quickly found a small ball of negative emotions. Angele noticed that he could control the mentality formed by the negative emotions after the dark mentality merged into it.

'Great…' Angele looked relieved.

Raising his hand, Angele looked at his palm.

CHI*

A ball of dark smoke was released from his palm and rotated several times in the air.

Angele looked at the black smoke on his palm and chanted a different incantation. The incantation was created using the runes of the Son of Sun.

It took him a while to finish the incantation.

The black smoke started burning and turned into a ball of pure white flame that was burning quietly.

Angele stared at the white flame and recalled the things he learned from the Book of Light. He carefully checked the dancing flame.

Suddenly, he found the right timing and used the other hand to draw a red pentagram around the flame.

With a flick of his finger...

CHI*

...the white flame exploded and turned into white light dots. The white light dots floated around Angele.

"Come to me!"

The white light dots all charged into Angele's forehead after he finished speaking, and quickly found the three diamond-shaped mentality crystals.

Angele took control of the white light dots and moved them to the third mentality crystal. The light dots entered the crystal one after one.

Angele's body started burning as the white light dots merged into the mentality crystal.

His skin turned translucent and his body was surrounded by red flames. It felt like his body was created by the red flames.

It was the elemental ability Angele acquired when he become a rank 3 wizard.

Angele's body turned into pure elemental energy as more and more light dots entered the crystal. His body turned into rays of white light, flying around the room.

About half an hour later, Angele's head also turned into a ray of white light and joined a ball of flying white light.

The light ball rotated one more time and exploded, disappearing into the air.

The whole stone chamber was bright like it was filled up by sunlight; the situation was not caused by the crystal lamps on the walls.

It lasted for about ten seconds and the white rays returned to Angele's original location, turning into a human being that was surrounded by red flames.

The flames died out slowly, revealing Angele's body.

His eyes were closed and his body was covered with sweat.

"Finally, the Body of Light…" He sounded tired.

Angele ignited the Son of Sun's bloodline rune using the dark mentality and modified his elemental ability using the things he learned from the Book of Light.

'The Body of Light or the light form… I didn't know that the light speed in this world is much faster than the light speed on Earth. Maybe the living beings of the wizard world are different from the living beings on Earth.' Angele found something new again.

The Absolute Zero in the wizard world was also different; according to the information he collected, the Absolute Zero here was much lower than the Absolute Zero on Earth.

Angele stopped thinking and checked his current situation.

The surface of the third mentality crystal was covered with countless white runes; they looked different from the runes on the other mentality crystals.

However, the mentality crystal cracked slightly, it seemed like the crystal was having trouble handling such a strong modification technique.

'Although I completed this process quickly, the procedure greatly damaged my body… If I want to do the same thing for my refined true form…' Angele could not imagine how hard it would be.

'I'll just call this thing light form, it'll help me in life-threatening situations. Now, I just need to check the next one.' Angele decided to stay in the stone chamber alone because he wanted to refine his fighting skills using the things he learned or the resources he acquired.

'The talent ability from the second mentality crystal is…' Angele focused on the surface of the second mentality crystal and the runes were familiar. 'The lave balls…'

Angele stopped using the lava balls after he acquired the secret techniques from the bloodlines since the lava balls were too weak when compared to them. However, lava balls were great for normal rank 3 wizards.

The lava balls could be released instantly and they were great for large-scale battles; also, the lava balls could increase his fire resistance.

Angele had not used the lava balls for a while because he had better spells or techniques.

He decided to modify the talent abilities using the mentality from the negative emotions.

It required a large amount of mentality to complete the modification; however, Angele had so much mentality that he did not care. Only wizards like him would be able to modify the talent abilities like that.

Most wizards could only modify the talent abilities using their own mentality. Also, they needed to control the mentality waves accurately and have extra mentality to use.

A hint of green light appeared on Angele's finger. He tapped on his temples, and felt refreshed with the life energy.

'Lava balls, one of the talent abilities from the Molten Core River. I need to make it more powerful. The lava balls are a combination of Earth and Fire energy particles. It's a lot more complicated than the abilities that only require one type of energy particles. If I release the lava balls in an environment that lacks the necessary energy particles, the damage of the lava balls will be greatly decreased.'

Angele was concerned about the disadvantages of the lava balls.

'Maybe there's another way…' His sight fell upon the flaming lion who was sleeping on the side.

The light lion already turned into a soul form that lived in his body.

Angele hesitated for a second and released a mentality to control the white lion. The lion stood up, turned into a ray of white light, and flew into the second mentality crystal.

The lion and Phoenix both flew into the second mentality crystal. It felt like they were sinking into water. There was no response.

The lion and Phoenix appeared on the surface of the crystal.

Angele threw the two special creatures into the mentality crystal. Phoenix merged into the flaming lion and they became the talent ability of the second mentality crystal.

He acquired a summoning spell.

Angele checked the runes on the surface of the mentality crystal and pointed forward.

A ball of red flames appeared in the sky. The flame ball splashed and turned into a translucent human being.

The man had the body of a human and the head of a lion, a pair of phoenix wings on his back.

The man had a muscular body and there were several lava balls rotating around him.

Angele looked at the two-meter-tall lion man and scrunched his brow.

'Phoenix, flaming lion, and the runes of the lava balls… The modified talent spell created this monster, but it's way too weak…'

The lion man looked strong, but the energy wave he released had the same power level as a rank 3 apprentice, which meant, if the lion man did not have special abilities, he would be the same as a strong mortal Knight.

The flaming lion and Phoenix removed the runes that were conflicting; however, the runes that were removed were the reason why lava balls were powerful.

Without the runes, the lion man had no way to deal high damage.

Chapter 483: Test (4)

Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu

'It's a bit unexpected but I can live with it.' Angele released some dark mentality wave, which entered the lion man's forehead, turning into a black scorpion shaped rune. The rune looked identical to the sign of Angele's refined true form.

'Phoenix is like a soul form created by my mentality and there will be no conflict.' Angele looked at the black rune on the lion man's forehead, satisfied.

'This rune will absorb the negative emotions and convert them into energy. Although the structure will be damaged when using the negative emotions, with my rune control, it shouldn't be a big problem.

'Alright, I'll name the talent ability for the second mentality crystal as summoning.' Angele was satisfied with the result.

The lion man could help him create a creature that was stronger than his normal form.

The lion man itself was weak, however, Angele could control the lion man using the negative emotions, and the latter would be strengthened to a certain level.

'Alright, the last one, Metal Mastery…' Angele looked at the first mentality crystal and he realized that he had a Legacy Magic Circle Set in the Dark Wizard Tower.

Angele was focusing on the Metal Mastery when he became a wizard and no other wizard who practiced the metal spells reached his level. The talent ability could only be greatly improved in an environment that was full of metal energy particles.

However, the Metal Mastery was no longer practical during the battles to Angele.

Angele thought for a while and decided to replace the talent ability. His refined true form was close to the power level of a rank 8 wizard and he should be able to completely modify the rank 1 mentality crystal.

'Maybe I should do something to the properties of the crystal…'

Angele recalled the defensive techniques he learned; he could turn one of the techniques or spells he learned over the years into a talent ability.

'I need a defensive talent ability and my best choice will be something that doesn't require spell materials. Maybe I should try strong defensive spells like Stone Armor or Stone Golem…'

The Stone Armor would create a layer of stone on the caster's body which would regenerate after being damaged. The Stone Golem would turn the caster into a large stone monster and Angele would be able to control it from inside.

Angele thought for a while and decided to change the talent ability into Stone Golem since he could modify the contents of the stone if he wanted to.

The stone monster created by the spell could absorb materials like rocks or minerals, however, the strength of the materials would not be as strong as the materials used by the Metal Mastery. Due to the heavy weight of the stone monster, it had decent attack and defensive abilities. The spell was also the strongest level 1 spell Angele had.

Due to the limitation of the mentality crystal, Angele could not use spells that exceeded the rank of the mentality crystal. He had better spells, but they had high levels.

Angele engraved the runes on the surface of the crystal and raised his hand, tapping the rune circle on the ground slightly. His mentality wave was quickly turned into the dark mentality and the black smoke around the mentality crystals formed three small signs of the refined true form.

The runes flew to the three mentality crystals and started rotating like satellites.

'Finally, it's done. With the signs of my refined true form, all my talent abilities will cost less mentality when activated, since they'll be consuming the dark mentality. I'll be able to activate those abilities in the main world without any problem.'

Angele removed the rune circles from the ground using his right hand.

He checked the time using the biochip and realized that he spent two days on the modification.

Angele sighed with relief and closed his eyes. He wanted to rest for a while.

Two hours later, he opened his eyes and noticed that the purple ring on his left hand was glowing.

"Green? This is Juventus. Be prepared, the organization is sending a Viscount to take your position. Don't be sad, it's for the empire's big plan. Make sure you treat him well so you'll get more rewards after everything is settled."

Juventus sent Angele the message on behalf of their teacher in the Dark Wizard Tower.

"Alright, I understand," Angele responded in a light tone.

"How's the empire's situation?" he asked.

"The empire is doing well. The Shadow Lord's territory is under our control, the Sky Lord and the Mirror Lord have left their bases. They're working with Prince Evil Dragon at the Molten River area—it seems like they want to form an alliance, but small organizations can't do anything to us." Juventus chuckled.

"Don't worry, you signed the contract and you'll be fine," he added.

"That's great. I was once a core member and it seems like the organization will still treat me well." Angele chuckled as well.

"It's great that you can understand. Alright, I have something else to take care of. I'll talk to you later."

"Sure."

They cut the communication.

The smile disappeared from Angele's face immediately.

Raising his left hand, he created a ring of red flames around the purple ring and blocked the communication.

Angele controlled the mentality wave accurately and made sure he did not alert any member of the organization.

It was part of the scorpion woman's bloodline power—although he could not utilize the power completely in the main world, the ability was still quite helpful.

He cheated the ring using the illusions and made sure that he did everything properly.

Angele sneered and took the ring off his left hand, laying it on the ground.

'They made the wrong decision.' The others did not know the situation, but Angele was familiar with the background of the Shadow Lord due to Henn.

Shadow Lord was related to the Shadow Realm.

Henn and the Arisma already told him about the Shadow Realm when he was still being tracked down.

Dark Wizard Tower had a large intel center, however, it seemed like they did not know the background of Shadow Lord. They assassinated Shadow Lord and the Shadow Realm would fight back sooner or later.

Shadow Realm was a mysterious realm, people barely knew anything about it, and no one knew how strong the residents of the realm were.

The Fairy Empire sent a lot of soldiers into the main world and they were spending a large number of resources every day. However, they suddenly stopped advancing after the first several victories.

Obviously, they were stopped by someone.

After the short conversation with Juventus, he assumed that the empire was stopped by the strong beings of Shadow Realm and the Fairy Empire was trying to solve the problem.

'Sky Lord and Mirror Lord probably noticed the situation, so they decided to form an alliance and eliminate Fairy Empire. The war is coming to an end…'

Angele stopped up and pushed the stone gate open.

It was quiet outside and no one was around.

The land outside the headquarters was vibrating intensely; it seemed like there was a strong creature hitting the ground, and there were people screaming and something exploding.

The stone chamber was well sealed and Angele did not notice anything when he was inside.

Angele's expression changed, he ran to the stone window in the hall and peeked outside.

The forest outside was burning, the red flames and the black smoke were striking to the air. Countless dead bodies and body parts covered the ground.

There were also black creatures that looked like dragons flying in the blue sky.

Those creatures were coated with a metallic substance and about four meters long. They looked like flying dragons made of metal. The black robes on the ground were releasing fire lances constantly and some of the flying dragons were eliminated.

There were also some metal dragons on the ground and the wizards were trying to handle them with golems or elementals.

The red and blue energy waves were exploding in the endless sky. They looked like fireworks.

Angele quickly glanced around, trying to see if the elders were also fighting, but did not find anyone.

'Damn! It's the Wooden Dragon Legion…' He quickly jumped out of the window and landed on the grass.

He found an old male wizard that lost an arm and a leg lying on the ground. The old wizard was trying to heal his wounds using some potions.

Angele rushed to the old wizard, took out a blue potion, and poured it over the old wizard's forehead.

The blue liquid was quickly absorbed by the wizard.

"This is an energy potion and it'll increase your mentality temporarily. Find somewhere safe and treat your wounds. I have a question, where are the elders?!" Angele questioned in a deep tone.

"The elders… are fighting with the strong enemies…" The old wizard struggled for a second and pointed the direction.

"Thanks." Angele raised his head and pointed at the ground.

"Summon!"

A large bump appeared on the grass and a stone golem was created. The yellow golem was about six meters tall and it walked to Angele slowly.

"It won't work…" the old wizard on the ground advised.

"The golems are too heavy and slow. Those monsters can only be damaged by powerful spells."

Angele knew the wooden dragons well. Those wooden dragons were strong and they had high resistance.

He just wanted to test if the golem was strong enough and he could take the old wizard to a safer place.

Angele looked at the west of the sky and detected some aggressive energy waves. The energy waves stronger than the energy waves released by rank 4 wizards.

The elders of Elemental Hand activated the inheritor magic circles; however, it seemed like they were not winning the intense battle.

Angele knew that the strong beings of the Fairy Empire could easily destroy his physical form in the wizard world and he doubted if he could help the elders.

'Dark Wizard Tower… You've crossed the line…' He tightened his fist.

Chapter 484: Confirmation (1)

Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu

Angele stood there and hesitated for a second, he decided to put on the purple ring again and remove the flame seal.

He tapped on the surface of the ring and the ring released a purple glow.

He walked to a tree and waited for a while until someone responded.

"Master Green?" Turin's voice came from the ring.

"Do you know anything about the Elemental Hand?" Angele questioned in a deep tone. He looked at the sky and the explosions were still going on.

The wooden dragons were still attacking the wizards that were defending and they were eliminating the weaker wizards constantly.

It seemed like Turin heard people screaming and things exploding as well.

"The commanders of Wooden Dragon Legion are fighting with the elders of Elemental Hand. However, it seems like the commanders are losing and they are having trouble escaping the battlefield."

Angele narrowed his eyes after hearing Turin's words.

"Escape? Are you saying that the elders of Elemental Hand are winning the battle?"

"That's correct. The elders started this battle." Turin chuckled. "Also, Lela is with me right now. We'll be joining Prince Evil Dragon. What's your plan?"

"What's my plan? You know I'm a member of the Elemental Hand, right? There's one person that I have to protect in the organization, I can't just give up and leave." Angele looked at the sky calmly. "What's your plan? I think we all know what we have to do."

"We know how the Fairy Empire is treating you and we'll never serve an empire like that. Princess Lela gathered the elites of the underground world and I gathered my servants as well. It might be a wise decision to join Prince Evil Dragon. We're your servants after all…" Turin was trying to imply something.

Angele smiled. Turin knew that Angele signed the chaos contract with Prince Evil Dragon and it meant that Prince Evil Dragon would help Angele when necessary.

"This'll be the last time I contact you using the ring since we're pretty much telling the intel center what we're thinking."

"Sure."

Crack*

A strange noise came from the ring, it seemed like Turin had cracked his ring.

Angele thought for a while and decided not to destroy the ring, he just put it into the pouch.

The two wooden dragons that were passing by noticed Angele's presence and flew to him.

WO*

Two black shadows charged to Angele and tried to grab him using their claws. A strong force appeared in the air and it dragged Angele to the wooden dragons' claws.

"Of course they'll attack me after the conversation I just had." Angele remained calm, he quickly stepped back.

A ball of red flames appeared at his original location.

The flames turned into a creature, it was the lion man created by Angele's new talent ability.

The lion man had dark-red skin and there was a pair of wings on his back. The scorpion sign was flashing between his brow. The man was muscular and terrifying.

Roar*

The lion man roared at the wooden dragons and opened his wings, charging at them.

Angele took out a black glass bottle on the ground.

KA*

The glass bottle cracked and exploded into a ball of black smoke, flying to the two wooden dragons.

It seemed like the black smoke created illusions and distracted the two wooden dragons. They flew by Angele and landed on the ground. They hesitated for a second and tried to return to the sky.

"My illusion ability only distracted the dragons for a second?" Angele was surprised and quickly grabbed the black wings of a dragon.

CHI*

The wings of the wooden dragon were ripped off. The dragon turned its head around and tried to bite Angele's arm, however, Angele predicted its action and blocked the attack using his elbow.

Bam*

The wooden dragon exploded into pieces of black substances and dropped to the ground.

The other wooden dragon groaned and flew into the air. It charged at Angele again and tried to hit Angele's eyes. Also, the dragon released some black flames from its mouth.

The lion man was a bit slow, however, he successfully blocked the claws and the flames using his arms.

CHI*

Red light flashed on the lion man's body and his chest was hit by the dragon's claws, however, the flames did not do any damage to him.

The lion man groaned after taking the hit and slapped the wooden dragon's head with both hands.

The wooden dragon was dizzy after being hit.

At the same time, a hand grabbed the dragon's hand and gripped it.

BOOM*

The dragon's head exploded in the air.

Angele finished the dragon off like nothing.

'The same level as a rank 1 wizard but there are so many of them.' His sight fell upon the lion man.

The lion man was devouring the remains of the two wooden dragons. It only took seconds for the lion man to finish most of them.

Suddenly, black light flashed on the lion man and it felt like the lion man was strengthened. Its power level was already higher than the wooden dragon.

Angele analyzed the lion man using the biochip.

'The fire energy in the wooden dragon's body is perfect for my lion man. I shall summon as many lion men as I can and ask them to absorb the wooden dragons' remains. Maybe they'll be strengthened.'

The flames formed more than ten lion men that looked the same around Angele.

Angele checked the mentality cost and was satisfied with the result.

'The lion men are weak at first, however, they can be strengthened by suitable energy and I don't have to do anything after. The lion men have the general fighting skills and they can follow simple orders. There's no time limitation and they'll work great during the war.'

Angele was a rank 3 wizard and his talent abilities were not aggressive.

The Stone Golem was used for defense.

The lion men were great for wars.

The elemental abilities could save his life under certain circumstances.

Angele could use potions and offensive spells he had to attack, also, he had the illusion ability from the scorpion woman and the strong body from the single-eyed giant. He was like a normal rank 3 wizard in the main world, but he would not be killed easily.

He scanned the sky after finishing off the two wooden dragons and noticed that four more wooden dragons were charging toward him. It seemed like the dragons noticed the changes.

Angele saw that the wizards were still fighting in the sky. He quickly disappeared into a ball of red flames.

After the blink of an eye, Angele's body appeared in the forest.

'I should check on the terror core since it's a chaos here. The Elemental Hand chose to fight back for a reason. Price Evil Dragon's alliance might also fight back since this is probably the best chance. I should pay Prince Evil Dragon a visit and collect some information.'

Angele looked at the sky and noticed that the battle was still going on. He sighed slightly and drew several blue runes in the air. With a flick of his finger, the runes turned into a blue plate and floated in front of his face.

"This is Green. Don't worry, Mother. I'm worried about my friends and I want to check on them. I'll be careful and I'll return to the headquarters right after I finish."

Angele talked to the blue plate, it seemed like he was leaving a message.

After finishing those words, he pushed the plate, which turned into countless blue light dots, disappearing into the air.

Although he knew Vivian would still be worried, Angele had to leave the area for a while. He pressed on his chest and was about to teleport.

Suddenly, the biochip reported back.

'Analysis completed. Simulation completed. Task completed.'

Angele was excited. 'Show me the results now and tell me how I can advance to rank 4.'

'First, you need to remove the impurities from your mentality, which is the mentality acquired from the negative emotions. Second, you need to create a drop of elemental light in your body.'

'Impurities?'

There was a bitter smile on Angele's face. He did not expect the dark mentality to be considered as impurities. There was only one explanation for the situation.

He could only choose one method, the bloodline or the normal wizard progression. The normal mentality and the dark mentality could not be combined.

'Elemental light is the sign of a rank 4 wizard and can be created using the wizard's talent…' Angele had read about the information he acquired from Vivian and knew what the elemental light was.

He needed to create a ray of pure elemental light to become a rank 4 wizard. However, he needed a clean body, a purified soul, and the purified mentality to complete the procedure.

'Clean body… There are so many bloodlines in my body, I assume that I don't have a clean body… A purified soul is also impossible.' Angele was a bit speechless.

'I won't be able to advance to rank 4 then.'

The result was as expected, however, Angele was still a bit depressed. He had to try to become stronger in the Nightmare Realm.

Eye Devil and the other lords were stronger, but Angele had no idea how they were sealed. He still had a lot of things to learn.

Angele pressed on the center of his chest and disappeared into the air.

Chapter 485: Confirmation (2)

Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu

Nightmare Realm. The Eye Tower of Doomsday.

On top of the black pyramid, many strong beings were standing on the platform.

Angele was also on the platform, he was staring at the large black smoke ball.

Bone was standing by Angele, Vapor and the man with a cape were also there; however, Spider was nowhere to be found.

"Come on, why are you even arguing?" Bone was getting impatient. "Eye Devil said it was fine, why are you two still arguing?"

"I'm not trying to argue." Vapor's broken cape was flying in the air and his green eyes were flashing.

"I don't know why you failed to identify his form, but I won't question him since he created the refined true form and he's about to become a lord. The only question is why he is still considered as one of us. It just doesn't make sense."

Vapor's sight fell upon Angele.

"I don't care what type of creature he is and where he is from. Phoenix is already accepted by the power of Nightmare Realm." Eye Devil's loud voice echoed in their ears.

"Eye Devil, you're sealed and I won't listen to you." Vapor sneered.

"This man released a bunch of insects and interrupted our plan. My power level would have increased greatly if that didn't happen."

Angele glanced at Vapor and the man with a cape as a smile appeared on his face.

"Go straight to the point, what do you want?"

The man with a cape stepped forward.

"It's simple, we want the coordinates to your realm. Eye Devil's coordinates are running out. We conquered the stronger realms and skipped the weak realms that don't have many resources. Also, it'll take some time until the Nightmare Realm can move closer to the other realms, however, we don't have a lot of time left. The northland is getting more and more resources every day."

"I don't think we're asking too much, right?" Vapor looked at Angele.

"You decided to become one of us and you should give up your realm or we might treat you as a spy later."

Angele was trying to retrieve his terror bead, however, his path was blocked by Vapor and the man with a cape.

Angele left the terror bead here because the bead was just poison to others and it was only a treasure to him. The terror bead took part of the souls that Eye Devil collected.

The terror bead absorbed the negative emotions and the negative emotions were just poison to Eye Devil. They would have to deal with the negative emotions through another method without the bead.

Vapor and the man with a cape were probably just following someone else's orders. They had no reason to behave like this.

Including Bone, they were probably trying to make sure that Angele was not a spy from another realm.

Vapor and the man with a cape were playing as the bad guys.

Angele calmed down and glanced at the lords again.

"It's just coordinates to a random realm. Why are you so concerned?"

The man with a cape nodded slightly.

"With the detailed coordinates for your realm, we can speed up the progress and we'll be able to enter the realm without being pressured by the realm power. Also, we don't know which realm you're from yet."

Angele already knew that the Nightmare Realm would approach the wizard world sooner or later. However, he did not want to just hand over the coordinates.

"I know the coordinates, however, I grew up in that realm and I don't want you to eliminate everything. It'll be better if you can just become the rulers of that realm."

"Of course." Vapor was no longer aggressive after hearing these words.

"To be honest, I was also not a resident of the Nightmare Realm and I didn't destroy the realm I was born in, either. We're eliminating weaker realms because we need resources to help Eye Devil. We'll conquer the realm and get a constant supply of resources under normal circumstances."

Angele narrowed his eyes. "Can you step away now?"

Vapor exchanged contact with the man and slowly stepped away, revealing the woman that was chained up by something green. The woman was holding a red leather book in hand and there was smoke coming out of the book.

The smoke looked like countless twisting dark tentacles that varied in sizes.

The woman already fainted, but she was still holding the leather book tightly in hand.

Angele raised his hand and the handbook flew into his hand by itself.

He opened the book carefully and turned to the second last page.

A white face of a woman appeared on the page as he opened the book. The woman raised her hands and reached out of the book, she held Angele's face carefully in hands.

"Vivian?" Angele's expression changed after he saw the woman's face. The woman looked identical to Vivian.

"Come… We shall be together forever…" The woman's voice was seductive. Angele could see the woman's naked body through the notebook for some reason.

The woman's head left the book and she tried to kiss Angele. However, the woman's mouth opened and Angele saw her sharp teeth. She approached Angele and tried to bite his throat.

"Naive!" Angele shook his head slightly and a black crystal barrier appeared by his neck, blocking the woman's mouth.

"You don't even know how important Vivian is to me."

Angele's long red hair turned into countless sharp needles and stabbed into the woman's upper body.

AH*

The woman screamed, turned into white smoke, and disappeared into the air.

A triangular crystal quickly appeared on the page.

Angele opened his mouth and the crystal turned into a ray of white light, flying into his mouth.

"It's done." Bone tapped Angele's shoulder.

"No matter which realm you're from, you're now one of us."

Angele turned around noticed that the others were staring at him. Raising his right hand, he showed others his palm.

Some red energy waves appeared on the center of his palm, releasing gentle red light.

"Those are the coordinates," Angele spoke in a light tone.

"This is…" The green light from Vapor's eyes was getting intense and he hesitated.

"Maybe we're mistaken…" The man with a cape was excited as well.

"Trust your eyes," Angele responded in a calm tone.

The place remained silent.

Several minutes later.

"The wizard world…" Eye Devil spoke first. "We might have a chance to win now!"

Bone hugged Angele and hit his back several times.

"With the coordinates, we'll be able to be the first ones to enter the wizard realm! That's great!" He sounded surprised.

"You're right. The wizard world is a strong realm! We need to prepare the portal now!" Vapor was so excited that green smoke rose from his body. "Finally, coordinates to a strong realm."

Angele remained calm. "You're wrong. The wizard world is nothing like the wizard world you know…"

His word silenced the crowd again.

"What do you mean?" Eye Devil wondered.

"The wizard world has been weakened over the years. I think it has the same level as the Soul River Realm." Angele shook his head slightly. "I'm not even a strong being in the wizard world."

The lords looked disappointed.

"Well, it's better than nothing." Bone suddenly laughed, it seemed like he was not concerned.

"Alright, this is my sign, record it. I assume you can teleport to the wizard world. You can summon us after you're there." He handed a white bone badge to Angele. The pattern on its surface looked like a skull with couple bones under it.

"Here's mine." The green blade flashed in Vapor's hand.

A green ball covered with spikes appeared in Angele's hand.

"And mine." The man removed part of his cape and handed it over to Angele.

"I won't be able to go there." Eye Devil sounded a bit disappointed.

Angele smiled. "Alright, how do I summon you?"

"It's easy. If you're using the mortals' souls, you can summon me with just 1000 souls. This is the minimum requirement or the portal will be too weak for me…" Vapor responded.

Bone nodded. "For me, it'll be 5000 souls. I don't know how to control my energy so I need a bit more than Vapor."

"Well, it'll be 7000 souls for me…" The man with a cape hesitated, even Bone's energy control skill was better than him.

"Don't forget about Spider and Storm. We need at least 30000 souls," Bone added.

"30000 souls…" Angele's brow furrowed. "That's a lot."

"Seriously?" Bone's eyes were wide open. "The number will be much larger if you can't summon us using our signs… The situation will be completely different if we can't stabilize the portal using our own power."

"I'll see what I can do…"

The good thing was that the Fairy Empire was invading the wizard world and many people would die during the battles. At least 10000 people died during the first phase of the war.

"It's easy. Release your insects and you can get as many souls as you want."

"No, I'll find a better method. Just be prepared, I'll complete the procedure as soon as possible…" Angele spoke with a calm expression on the face.

"I'll go prepare the materials for the realm altar and release it right after we're summoned to the wizard world." The man with a cape nodded, his body turned in a ball of golden liquid and sank into the gaps between the stones.

"We have some preparations to do as well." Bone and Vapor left the platform.

Angele watched them turn into a white star and a green star. His expression changed and he was a bit depressed.

"30000 souls…"

Angele knew that he needed to prepare the sacrificial offerings to summon the lords or just the sealed forms, otherwise, the lords would not be able to travel through the dimension tunnel. It would be like an elephant trying to pass through a narrow tunnel.

He glanced at the woman who was still unconscious and raised his hand, picking the woman up using energy particles.

"Eye Devil, how were you and the other lords sealed?" Angele decided to ask the question before leaving the platform.

Eye Devil remained silent for a second and responded, "We're just recovering using the sealed forms."

"Which means you sealed yourselves? Were you severely injured?" Angele was a bit surprised.

"You know the realm war, right? If so, you should know that we're not the strongest beings among the realms," Eye Devil responded in a deep tone.

"Thanks…" Angele nodded and left the pyramid with the woman. They disappeared into the darkness within seconds.

Three days later. In the morning.

The wizard world.

The forest in the Tarry River area was already partially destroyed.

Black smoke was striking into the air and there were ravens rotating in the sky.

A young man wearing a black leather armor was walking in the forest, checking the surroundings constantly.

It had been three days since Angele left the Nightmare Realm; he did not return to the Elemental Hand, he was heading to the Red Flower Valley. It was the location where Prince Evil Dragon lived.

Angele did not see many people around and the beautiful Red Flower Valley was a mess.

He was slowly advancing in the damaged forest. Angele walked to a half-burnt tree and rubbed its trunk.

CHI*

A layer of dark ash appeared on the tips of his fingers.

Angele looked at the black ash and scanned it using the biochip.

'It was burnt five days ago and the fire was infused with Ice energy particles somehow.'

He then reached into the black smoke.

KA*

A black frost climbed up his fingers. The black smoke was cold like ice, Angele thought the smoke would be warm.

'Red Flower Valley… I think Prince Evil Dragon already moved to another location…'

He pointed at the ground on the right, releasing a ray of red flame. The flame ray quickly turned into a muscular lion man.

"Stay here and pay attention to anyone that approaches the area. If you meet a servant of Prince Evil Dragon, ask him to contact me," Angele ordered.

Roar*

The lion man responded with a roar.

Angele glanced around and walked in the other direction while rubbing his purple ring slightly.

'I remember there's a town in this direction… it should be…' He casted Elemental Teleportation and teleported hundreds of meters. Angele passed through the forest and stopped by a city that was surrounded by dark walls.

Angele was surprised by the scene before him as he recreated his physical form.

There was no guard patrolling around or guarding the city walls. The morning light from the sun shined illuminated the surface of the walls.

The city was quiet and empty, it felt like the place was abandoned. However, rays of sunlight pierced through the black smoke that looked like dark clouds floating above the city.

GA*

He heard the ravens making noise in the sky.

Angele's brow furrowed, he glanced at the ground and found some bloodstains. There were also armor pieces and weapons lying on the ground.

The whole city was deadly silent, no one was making any noise.

He stepped on the wooden bridge and saw two piles of outfits left by the city guards on the ground. It almost looked like the owners of the outfits took them off and left the area.

'What's this?' Angele sniffed at the air and walked to the armor pieces.

He crouched and started checking the armor. He found a tiny hole on the silver armor and the green shirt, but there was no blood.

Angele rubbed the edge of the hole and started thinking.

Standing up, he rubbed the purple ring again.

'City of Fallen Leaves… The population here was around 250000, most of the residents were mortals and wizard apprentices. It's nearly impossible for them to leave the city without taking any of the resources…'

Angele looked at the ravens and opened his mouth. A black scorpion sign appeared on his forehead.

His eyes turned into two dark vortexes and released translucent energy waves.

"Level 2 spell, Bird Control."

Angele raised his right hand slightly; several ravens flew to him and landed on his arm. Black scorpion patterns appeared in the ravens' red eyes.

'Let me see what's going on…' He tapped the head of a raven lightly.

CHI*

The scene in front of Angele's eyes changed, the things that happened in the city were replayed.

In the center of the ground, there was a green plant that looked like an enormous tower. It looked like the plant released countless green vines which were spreading to every corner of the city.

The mortals in the city were all pierced through by the vines released by the plant. Their life energy was quickly absorbed by the plant, causing them to groan, and their bodies turned into white ashes, disappearing in the wind.

"Modified creatures…" Angele's expression turned serious.

With a flick of his finger, the scene disappeared and a lion man appeared behind Angele. The lion man slashed the air with his silver claws.

BAM*

A translucent shadow was hit by the claws; however, it was still invisible.

Angele turned around and looked at the empty ground in front of him.

The gentle wind blew the yellow sand into the air and several invisible monsters that looked like dogs appeared. Each of the monsters was about one meter tall and they were making some strange noises.

The monsters slowly surrounded Angele.

Angele raised his left hand and showed the monsters his ring.

"Take me to the one in charge here. I'm an elite member of the organization, the name is Purple Eye."

"An elite member?" A monster that is stronger than the translucent monsters stepped forward and stared at Angele.

"This area is controlled by the modified creatures and I thought master Thomas is in charge of the elite members now. Why are you lying?"

"Do you understand the situation right now? I can report to the organization immediately and you'll face consequences…" Angele lied with a blank expression on the face.

The monster's mentality wave was bright like the sunlight, the monster had the same power level as a top-level rank 3 wizard. The other monsters were at rank 1 or rank 2, Angele would have to run if the monsters decided to attack him.

However, it seemed like not all the organization members knew that Angele was a traitor.

The monster slowly nodded after staring at Angele for a while.

"Fine, the legion commander is busy right now but the deputy commander will be able to talk to you."

"I'm just here to hand over my right and this is an order from the organization. You'll be punished if I'm late," Angele spoke in a cold tone.

The monster hesitated after hearing those words.

"Alright then, follow me."

It turned around and disappeared into the air.

Angele remained calm, he quickly disappeared into a ball of flames as well.

They passed through the empty streets and buildings. The two stopped in front of a tall building that looked like a church.

"Master Green… I've been waiting for you for two days…" A calm voice came from the building. An old man in a black robe stepped out of the building and looked at Angele.

"Let me introduce myself, this is Thomas, and I'm here to take your position." The old man smiled

Angele checked the surroundings, he noticed that the invisible monsters and the old man were the only living beings around.

The old man nodded slightly. "I hope you can accept the organization's arrangement. We're all serving the empire and we shouldn't be selfish."

"No worries. The war is getting intense and I'm too weak to lead the elite members in the area. The organization made a wise decision," Angele spoke calmly.

"It's great that you can understand. Let's complete the procedure now." Thomas nodded.

"Of course." Angele took off the purple ring and handed it over to Thomas.

Thomas grabbed the ring and checked it. He made sure that Angele did not set up any trap and put the ring on.

"Ah, one more thing. The plan you submitted regarding the Elemental Hand is declined. Also, you're a servant of the empire and you should help us defend against the Elemental Hand."

"What about the people I want to save? I submitted the request too." Angele's brow furrowed.

"I believe you know that if my mother fails to convince the elders of the Elemental Hand, the situation will be awkward for her."

"You signed the contract and your request is being verified, don't worry." Thomas was an important member of the organization and it seemed like he had access to the documents.

Angele felt a bit angry.

The Dark Wizard Tower was just using him and the promised reward was being delayed again and again.

"Alright, I don't have much time. You can leave now since the procedure is completed." Thomas did not wait for Angele to response, he just turned around and returned to the church.

Angele's brow furrowed, he noticed that Thomas was acting like he did not care.

Angele did acquire some resources from the Dark Wizard Tower and he barely did anything for the organization so he was not concerned.

'I should collect the resources and prepare for the summoning ritual…' Angele turned around and walked to the city gate with the lion man.

The alliance of the wizard world was fighting against the army of the Dark Wizard Tower at the Molten Core River. There were millions of soldiers on the battlefield.

If he could set up the altar by the battlefield, he would be able to summon the lords without any problem.

Several days later, noon.

In front of a small town by the edge of the Molten River area.

Angele looked at the terrifying scene in the town with a serious expression on the face. His body was translucent, it seemed like he activated a stealth technique.

The puppet knight of the Dark Wizard Tower was slaughtering the mortals of the town. People were screaming and there was blood everywhere.

A dark knight picked up a baby that was about one month old; the baby was struggling and crying.

"I love the skin of babies, it has a soft and refreshing taste." He said and grabbed the baby's chest, pulling slightly.

CHI*

A part of the baby's chest was pulled and thrown into the dark knight's mouth.

The dark knights had the bodies of zombies and their mouths were full of sharp teeth. They were riding tall horses, but their arms were so long that they could easily reach the ground using hands.

The dark knights looked liked like a race with long arms and they could easily grab the items from the ground.

The dark knight chewed the baby's flesh, sharing the meat with the other dark knights.

The other dark knights were chasing the residents like chasing pigs. Some darks knights skewed the mortals and just let them bleed on the ground. The scene was terrifying.

Angele's expression turned even more serious. Although he was a dark wizard, he had his own moral standards.

He deactivated the stealth technique after he saw the dark knights devouring a mortal's baby.

It was a small town, there were only two streets that were covered with dead bodies. Six dark knights were patrolling the town and each of them held a dead body in hand. They were treating the dead bodies like snacks.

Angele covered his face with a mask and slowly approached the town.

"Lives and souls are precious. You shall not kill for no reason. Every time you take a life away, the world will be one step closer to the end." Angele stepped into the town calmly.

"Maybe I made a wrong decision…"

A knight noticed Angele's presence and watched him step into the town.

"A black robe?" The knight's brow furrowed.

He turned his head around and shouted at another dark knight, "Karl!"

The dark knight chuckled and took out a dark metal crossbow, firing an arrow at Angele.

CHI*

Angele grabbed the arrow using his hand easily.

"Puppet Knight Legion…" Angele's hair started growing as he finished these words. The dark red hair charged to the dark knights like snakes.

The red hair quickly formed a large red web that looked like a spider web.

The hair was going after the dark knights.

CHI CHI*

A dark knight that looked like a captain quickly dodged the hair, but the rest of the dark knights were all pierced through their chests. Seconds later, their souls were removed and absorbed by the hair.

The captain drew his sword with a serious expression on the face. He started cutting the red hair, his movements so fast that no hair could touch his body.

He suddenly started laughing after he saw all other dark knights were killed.

"You're dead… The deputy commander of my legion is in this area. You should've just walked away!" The captain sounded a bit crazy, he was trying his best to block the hair.

Angele looked at the last dark knight but did not say anything.

In Angele's opinion, killing could be a way to reach his goal. He could release the insects in a random realm or eliminate his lab subjects without feeling anything; however, killing for fun was different. The dark knights were not treating the lives of the mortals seriously and he did not like that.

"Lives and souls. They're the history and the future of this world. There must be a reason why I'm still alive and it's the same for those mortals. They shall not be killed for fun," Angele muttered as the dark knight was still trying to fight back.

"What the hell are you talking about?! You're a dark wizard and I'm sure you've done something worse than what I just did," the dark knight sneered. "All the creatures I know fear wizards like you more."

"You don't understand. It's not about evil or justice, it's about the meaning of life." Angele smiled. "You don't understand the meaning of life and I don't like that so I'll kill you."

"Only living beings that respect lives can understand the meaning of life." Angele suddenly thought about his father, his child, and the old dragon he met, they all passed away.

"You'll respect the life if you know how precious it is…" he kept muttering.

Angele narrowed his eyes and the dark knight suddenly hesitated for a second. He stopped moving.

CHI CHI CHI*

The red hair penetrated the dark knight's body like countless needles.

"No!" the knight shouted, he grabbed the long hair and tried to pull it out of his body.

However, there was nothing he could do. The dark knight turned into a burnt corpse and a soul was pulled out of his body. The hair absorbed the soul quickly.

Angele checked the town. Most of the residents were slaughtered by the dark knights, and he only saved several children and women. However, their eyes looked soulless.

"Death Aura of the dark knights… They'll die sooner or later…" Angele checked the survivors and shook his head. Those people were rotting from the inside.

There was nothing Angele could do. It was the same as turning a skeleton into a live human being.

Angele covered his face with the robe and disappeared into a ball of flame.

In the next several days, Angele encountered many similar events. The legions of the Dark Wizard Tower were just slaughtering and torturing the mortals.

Angele tried to control the situation, however, the scale was getting larger and larger. Also, the soldiers he met were also much stronger than the dark knights. He could not win the fights against the commanders without his true power. However, the Nightmare Realm was not connected to the wizard world yet.

He was walking the path of the ancient wizards and he had already given up the advanced meditation technique. Angele needed to prepare the altars and summon the lords so the Nightmare Realm would move to the wizard world faster.

Dark Wizard Tower transferred his ring to another wizard; also, Angele decided to help Vivian even if he had to become an enemy of the Dark Wizard Tower.

Angele was heading to the battlefield because he wanted to observe the situation before the war started.

If the Dark Wizard Tower could solve the problem from the Shadow Realm, they could easily kill Angele and eliminate the Elemental Hand.

Vivian was an elder of Elemental Hand and she would have to face the Dark Wizard Tower.

Angele would rather have the lords conquer the world since they had an agreement and this was the best option he had. He thought that the situation could not get any worse.

The Elemental Hand.

In the spacious meeting hall of the elder council.

"I still can't find Green." Vivian sat by the table with both hands on the wooden surface. She looked tired.

"Don't worry, Vivian." The Fifth Elder was trying to calm him down.

"Did you get in touch with the captains? How many soldiers are left?" the First Elder questioned in a deep tone.

"Well, three captains responded and 80 percent of the elite army was eliminated…" the Second Elder responded, his face pale.

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy and the place remained silent for a while.

"Gather all the soldiers we have. We need to join the final battle at the Molten River area," First Elder ordered.

"What about the Legacy Magic Circle…"

The First Elder pointed at the table.

A white map appeared in the air and the areas on the map were marked in green or red.

"The red areas are controlled by the enemy and the green areas are still in our hands. Take a look."

The other four elders looked at the map. Most of the areas were marked in red and there was barely any green area left.

"Without the magic circle, we…" A bitter smile appeared on Fourth Elder's face.

The major organizations all set up their Legacy Magic Circles in their own territories and the elders would be weakened if they left their territory.

The First Elder sighed and replied, "The Fairy Realm is too strong for us and it's a war we can't win."

Vivian inhaled deeply.

"Green left me a message, but…"

"Calm down… Green is a rank 3 wizard and…" The First Elder remained calm. "This is a critical period for us, you need to stay focused, Vivian!"

"Yes…" Vivian hesitated for a second and agreed.

Chapter 488: War Continues (3)

Three days later…

The farms on the yellow plain of the Molten River area were smoking and the mountains were burnt black. There were burnt marks and bloodstains all over the ground.

The green farms were deadly silent and the dark smoke was rising to the sky.

Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes; he slowly walked through the farms with a yellow cane in his hand. He was wearing a black hat and his long red hair was trailing down his chest.

It was afternoon. The golden sunlight illuminated the farms.

Angele glanced around.

'These are the farms around a city of the Molten River area… Why is there no one here?'

The area was empty, the only thing he could see were the farms.

On the far side, Angele could see tall mountains that looked like pyramids.

"Tarren Volcano mountains…" Angele muttered.

Suddenly, translucent energy waves appeared around the mountains, they looked like smoke rings that were disappearing into the air.

Minutes later, Angele noticed that the wind was getting stronger and his expression changed.

'The energy waves are so strong…' He stopped.

'I shall stay away from that area and find a location here.'

Angele walked down the path and found a relatively large hill.

He stood in front of the hill and grasped forward.

BAM*

The yellow hill was damaged and a black crack appeared. The crack slowly turned into a dark tunnel leading underground.

Angele could see that mud, stones, and sand were solidifying—they were turning into the walls of the tunnel.

His face turned pale and his forehead was covered with sweat.

After about half an hour, he sighed with relief and lowered his hand. He walked straight to the crack.

He stepped into the crack, the tunnel was leading down. Angele had to keep digging so that he could keep advancing.

The underground tunnel he created was already more than one kilometer long after a while.

The tunnel was dark and the white fireball that was floating around Angele's body was the only source of light.

Angele stopped digging after the path in the front was blocked by minerals. He sat down with his legs crossed and the walls of the tunnel were slowly pushed back.

He took out many white magic stones from the mirror; the magic stones were covered with complicated runes, and Angele lined them up following a certain pattern.

The magic stones would start releasing bright white light after Angele put them down on the ground. Seconds later, there were more ten magic stones on the ground.

Also, the place was becoming more and more spacious every time a magic stone was laid down.

The end of the tunnel quickly turned into a large stone chamber and it was a perfect cube.

Angele put down the last magic stone and pressed on the ground while chanting some incantation.

WOO*

All the magic stones on the ground released eye-blinding white light, they connected with each other and formed a complicated magic rune. The white light brightened up the whole stone chamber.

Angele stood up and nodded. He pointed at the tunnel and the tunnel quickly collapsed. The mud and stone melted; it almost looked like the tunnel was never there.

The whole stone chamber turned into a private area that had no entrance or exit.

Angele raised his hands slightly, creating a table and a set of chairs. He walked to the table and took out a dark crystal orb from the black mirror.

He put the crystal orb on the table and tapped it slightly.

Gentle white glow was released by the orb and an image of the farms appeared.

It was the scene that Angele saw before creating the tunnel.

Angele was not concerned, he bit his finger and started drawing a skull pattern on the table using his blood.

Strangely, white patterns appeared on the walls of the chamber as he drew on the table. It felt like there were invisible knives engraving them.

The irregular patterns on the walls looked like random circles and human-shaped creatures.

Angele finished the edges of the skull and he started adding details to the skulls line by line.

'It's a problem…' Angele's expression changed as he started on the details.

He noticed that his mentality was being pulled out of his body as he drew the lines. It felt like the skull was sucking his blood.

Angele almost thought that there was a creature sucking his blood through the wound on his finger.

Time passed.

Angele's face turned pale and he finally finished the details.

'It's the first sign and half of my mentality is gone… It felt like I'm signing a contract…'

He stood up and the wound on his finger quickly healed.

The sign was closely connected to his mentality wave. If the sign was damaged, his mentality would also be damaged.

'Alright, Bone's sign is done but I still need to work on the other ones.' Angele rested for a while and created another tunnel on one of the walls. The tunnel was also leading down.

Angele spent the next several days building two more stone chambers for Vapor and the man with a cape.

The signs of the lords were all completed in the stone chambers and he set up several hidden rune circles for alarm.

Angele still needed to collect the souls for the ritual after completing the signs.

He stayed in the chamber with Bone's sign and observed the crystal orb carefully. He was checking the situation of the war.

Four days later, things finally changed on the plain.

In the crystal orb, a small team of golden eagles landed on the farms. Knights wearing white armor who varied in gender were riding on the backs of the eagles.

The knights jumped off the eagles and checked their equipment. They started checking the surroundings immediately.

"Damn monsters! They should all be slaughtered and tortured!" A muscular knight cursed.

"Be careful everyone, we detected some energy movement here several days ago, there might be a trap!"

The female knight behind him had a blank expression on the face. She drew the silver dagger and carefully cut her left arm open.

Red blood spurted out of the wound and dropped to the ground.

Red mist permeated the air after the blood landed on the ground.

The female knight stopped the wound from bleeding and observed the blood mist. She shook her head after several seconds.

"Nothing? They probably left," a blonde knight spoke in a deep tone. "We still need to be careful. There was a fight in the south and it seemed like they initiated the fight."

"Come on, be brave!" The muscular man grabbed his ax and swung it several times. He swung the ax so fast that the blade of the ax blurred.

A team of dark-red vultures appeared in the sky as the knights talked; there were five dark knights on the back of the vultures.

The vultures looked like mutated vultures, but their claws were covered with silver needles. The claws looked like iron plates with spikes.

"Prepare to fight!" The female knight detected the enemy first, she grabbed the long bow and fired at the dark knights.

The black arrow left the bow and turned into three black strings, flying toward the dark knights.

Each of the black strings was followed by a shadow that looked like a monkey. The monkeys were jumping at the dark knights like crazy.

BAM BAM BAM*

After the noise, the dark nights were all surrounded by a dark mist.

The arrows flew into the dark mist like stones falling into the water. It felt like the arrows did not do anything.

"It's a dark knight captain! We need assistance!" the female knight shouted.

Two of the knights nodded and jumped on the golden eagles. They quickly left the battlefield.

In the stone chamber.

Angele observed the situation carefully using the crystal orb.

Two eagle knights were fighting against two dark knights; however, it seemed like the dark knights were just playing around. They had many chances to kill the eagle knights but they were just blocking the attacks.

"They're just bait," Angele muttered.

The other dark knights were rotating in the sky, they were laughing while watching the fight.

The situation lasted for several minutes.

Dozens of golden eagles appeared in the sky; the leader was a young man in silver armor. He was a handsome man with a two-meter-long spear in hand that was reflecting the sunlight.

"Retreat!" The dark knights' expressions changed and they started retreating immediately.

One of the dark knights was slowed down by the man with an ax. His chest was pierced through by some blue lightning and he quickly fell off the vulture.

The dark knight exploded as he landed on the ground, his body turned into black smoke and disappeared into the air.

The soul of the dark knight sank into the ground and no one noticed it.

Angele sat in the chamber and narrowed his eyes.

He raised his head and saw a human-shaped soul coming down from the ceiling, flying to the skull sign on the table.

It only took one second for the soul to be absorbed by the sign.

'The soul of a dark knight is the same as a soul of a normal knight?' Angele's brow furrowed. The dark knight had the same power level as a rank 3 apprentice, but his soul was weak.

Raising his left hand, Angele noticed that some of his communication runes were fixed and a purple rune was glowing.

'So, they can't block the communication forever.' Angele activated the communication rune.

"Leader?" Turin's voice came from the rune. "I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Why are you still calling me leader?" Angele chuckled.

"Well, you know we decided to serve you, right?" Turin laughed.

"I want to know the good news first," Angele responded.

"Alright, the good news is that Prince Evil Dragon fixed the communication and we can now send messages like normal. Also, Prince Evil Dragon is still treating you as his partner and he wants to know if you need help. He said he could send you an army when necessary."

Angele was a bit surprised after hearing these words. "Interesting, I didn't expect him to treat me like this. Tell me about the bad news."

"The bad news is… the Elemental Hand is in trouble…" Turin replied. "That's why Prince Evil Dragon wants to offer you help."

Angele remained silent for a second.

"Why does the Dark Wizard Tower hate the Elemental Hand so much? Because of me?"

"Do you remember the woman you defeated during the competition? She climbed her way up in the organization and she's going after you."

"Thanks, I needed information like this," Angele responded. "How many soldiers can Prince Evil Dragon offer?"

"About 1000 soldiers."

"I need the soldiers that move fast and know how to hide. Will that be a problem?" Angele wondered.

"It won't. I'll let Prince Evil Dragon know."

In an area around the Molten River area.

The grass on the plain was more than one meter tall, waving in the gentle wind.

The blue sky was decorated by the white clouds. Some purple clouds appeared on the east side of the sky and it looked like they were expanding.

A team of black robes was advancing on the backs of unicorns. They were trying to travel through the plain.

The team looked endless. There were many carriages in the team, protected by groups of knights wearing black robes.

There were also flying mounts rotating in the sky.

Several black robes were leading the team in the front, checking the surroundings constantly.

"This is the Molten River area, we should increase our speed," an old man in a black robe said as his brow furrowed.

"We can't. The Innova Mountains are ahead of us and the area is impacted by a natural magnetic field. We can't travel any faster," Vivian explained. "The First Elder's team might be able to travel faster, but we're too weak to do that."

"Is that so?" The old man scrunched his brow. "I have a bad feeling about this, I hope everything will go as we planned."

"There's nothing we can do without the Legacy Magic Circle…" There was a bitter smile on Vivian's face.

"Let's just move forward… There are too many of us, we'll be detected sooner or later." The old man shook his head.

"If anything happens, take your people with you and leave, Vivian. I'll secure a safe route for you."

"What are you talking about?" Vivian replied in a serious tone.

"It'll only take us three days to reach the Innova Mountains. We just need to be careful and everything will be fine."

The old man looked at the mountains and replied, "Hope so…"

He knew that Vivian was just trying to make him feel better.

A valley in the Innova Mountains.

In the vibrant green valley, there was a clean river with big white stones on both sides.

On the largest stone, a woman in white armor was sitting with her legs crossed. There was a translucent shadow of a large plate slowly rotating behind her and five different weapons were shown on the plate.

The woman suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "Legion Commander Kareen, have you finished hiding your army?"

A translucent face of a male appeared in the air, it looked like the image was created by clear water.

"Almost done. Are you sure you want to join the battle? You just reached a higher position and there's no point for you to fight."

The woman shook her head.

"Stop. That bastard defeated me during the competition and I'm seeking revenge. Also, I'll kill everyone that is related to him. They must pay!"

"What's your plan then?" It seemed like the Legion Commander knew the woman well.

"Green is nowhere to be found, he already betrayed the Dark Wizard Tower. I have the reason to eliminate him and his relatives. Wait, I should probably let Vivian live and turn her into a sex slave for the beasts in the Department of Change." The woman had a pretty face but the words she said were terrifying.

"The Counts from the Fairy Empire will enjoy a sex slave like her. She's a rank 4 wizard and they might be able to increase her reproduction ability. Ha, it'll be great."

"Whatever, just make sure that you don't put too much effort into it. We need three more days, just make sure you hide your energy waves." Kareen nodded and disappeared into the air.

"I understand." The woman nodded, she suddenly released some dark-red waves that were spreading in all directions and angles.

The red waves covered the whole valley and countless objects that looked like cannons appeared.

The cannons were all aiming at the same direction; there were also several invisible bunkers. The cannons and bunkers would only reveal themselves under the red waves. It seemed like they were set up a long time ago.

The woman sat on the large stone.

"Stay undetected, everyone. Our enemies will arrive in three days. Make sure you hide well."

"Don't worry, Master. We're the modified beasts and we'll complete the mission. With our power and your skill, we can easily finish off five rank 4 wizards." A high-pitched male voice came from the sky.

"Also, without the Legacy Magic Circle, they're very weak."

"We need to end the battle as fast as possible. Eliminate the major force of the Elemental Hand before their assistance arrives. They think our target is Prince Evil Dragon and it's our chance!"

The woman was torn apart by Angele and it was the most shameful battle she had ever fought.

The woman closed her eyes after finishing giving the orders. She turned into a red string and disappeared into the air.

"Innova Mountains?" Angele rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes. He was sitting in the chamber, staring at a ball of black smoke released by the crystal orb.

"Master Green, we're sent by Prince Evil Dragon and we're just here to assist you, which means our power level is relatively low. It'll take a while until you can reach Innova Mountains but the battle will start in three days. We need to leave as soon as possible," the black smoke responded.

"Who's the commander of the Dark Wizard Tower's army?" Angele wondered.

"I don't know. We have no idea how many soldiers they have and how strong they are," black smoke responded. "We are interrupted by a strange energy wave and can't scout the area for you, so you'll have to give us orders."

Angele was still rubbing his chin.

"Maybe they're just testing our power?" He assumed.

"Maybe."

"Alright, gather at my location within half an hour. I want to meet you."

"As you wish." The dark smoke turned into a small vortex and disappeared into the air.

Angele stood up and wiped the dust off his robe. He disappeared into a ball of lames.

Half an hour later, near the farms on the plain.

Angele looked at the three balls of smoke in the front with his arms crossed.

"Viss."

"Freylin."

"Colin."

The three vortexes spoke.

"Reporting in."

"I'm glad that you're here to help me." Angele stared at the vortexes and said slowly, "I assume Prince Evil Dragon has already explained the mission to you."

"We received the message last morning and we noticed that the modified beasts were moving to a certain area. Prince decided to help handle the communication block to prevent ambushes and succeeded," one of the vortexes explained. "We're not sure what the enemies are trying to do, however, we're certain that they'll attack the Elemental Hand."

An arm that was formed by the black smoke appeared; with a wave of the arm, a red line appeared in the air.

The red line was twisted and there were black light dots flashing on it.

"This is the only path for the Elemental Hand to reach the battlefield," Viss explained. "Master, please looked at the line, there are two critical points on their path." He pointed at one of the black dots.

"This is the Innova Mountains that we'll be heading to. It'll take us around three days and we'll reach the mountains at the same time as Elemental Hand."

He then pointed at another black dot.

"This is the Innova City and also the City of Glass but it's already controlled by the Dark Wizard Tower. Not many people are aware of it yet, but the Elemental Hand will be attacked when they travel by this area.

"In my opinion, the Dark Wizard Tower is trying to test the power of our Prince and they won't send their strongest force here. We're all rank 4 wizards and we'll be able to handle the situation. Prince wanted to make sure that we could win the fight, otherwise, I think I can take care of the enemies just by myself," Viss spoke in a deep tone.

"We're the real target and I don't think they'll go too hard on the Elemental Hand, so we don't need to worry too much." The other black vortex joined the conversation.

"Agree," the three vortexes said at the same time.

Angele rubbed his chin and nodded.

"Your thoughts are reasonable, but…"

"What if they decide to eliminate the Elemental Hand before setting up an ambush to surprise us?"

"Well, that's possible too…" Viss hesitated.

The soldiers sent by Prince Evil Dragon were not really trying to help Angele. Viss analyzed the situation and tried to convince Angele to solve the problem using an indirect approach. The main force of the Dark Wizard Tower would focus on the army of the Elemental Hand so they did not have to fight the Dark Wizard Tower by themselves.

Angele was not a member of the alliance, after all.

Angele glanced at the three vortexes and sneered.

"Get ready, we'll be leaving soon! We have no time to waste!"

"Yes." The three realized that Angele already knew what they were planning and gave up. The dark vortexes shrank and disappeared.

Angele turned around and looked at the scene on the plain.

'I need to prepare something else since they are not reliable.'

The three signs were prepared and would be activated if Angele had enough souls. Also, the souls did not have to be collected by the signs themselves.

Angele was Lord of Terror and he had the ability to absorb the souls as well. He could absorb the souls first and transfer them to the signs.

'The problem is… I need to make sure the wizards don't know that I'm collecting the souls…' Angele was having a headache.

There were many wizards studying the soul forms in the wizard world and there were also wizards who turned themselves into soul forms. If he collected the souls too fast, he would be noticed, and there would be a big problem.

Also, Angele needed to make sure that the ritual was not interrupted. When the shadows of the lords teleported to the main world, they needed to help him expand the dimension tunnel. The shadows were relatively weak due to the realm power and they needed to travel through the dimension tunnel with their true forms.

It would take them some time to complete the procedure because the Nightmare Realm needed to move closer to the wizard world.

The signs had to be hidden or everything would go down the drain.

Angele reconsidered the plan and took a deep breath.

Two days later. The Innova Mountains.

The sky was dark and pale, there was no sunlight at all.

In a valley in the mountains, there was a white town in the center and people would have to travel through it to pass the area. The left side of the valley was higher than the right side and looked like a large cliff.

The Innova City was built on the cliff and some of the buildings were inside the mountain wall. The city looked like it was built on a dam.

There were two men with eyepatches standing on the left side of the city, they were wearing black robes and their hair was white.

One of them had an eyepatch on the left eye and the other had it on the right eye. They were staring at the people that were moving to the city.

"How many people are moved to the city?" the man with the eyepatch on his left eye asked.

"About 6000. This is just the first group. The world altar needs the energy to summon the War Eagle Legion. Brother, has the leader contacted us?" the man with the eyepatch on his right eye responded.

"No, we just need to make sure there's no enemy in the area. Go release the butterflies that were sent here not so long ago."

"Sure."

The man with the eyepatch on his right eye tapped on his finger and chanted some incantation.

Seconds later, some green mist appeared above the sky. The mist was formed by countless green butterflies that were spreading to all angles.

The two watched the butterflies moving to the side and hide in different areas.

"Alright, we just need to wait for the ambush, I hope everything is going well."

"We'll take care of the rest if they fail." The younger one chuckled.

"We need to proceed with caution."

On the far side of Innova City. There was a small forest created by pine trees on a hill.

There was a large white stone in the forest and a man stepped out of the shadow under the trees.

The sunlight penetrated the dark clouds in the sky and one of the rays landed on the one who just stepped out of the shadow.

Rays of sunlight were moving as the dark clouds moved.

The sunlight illuminated the man's body and it almost looked like the man was glowing under the shadow.

Angele was wearing a tight hunter's suit. He stepped on the stone and looked down. He noticed that there were visible energy waves behind him.

"This city was turned into a military base…" Angele muttered.

"Master, we probably should…" A voice came from the behind.

Angele remained calm and narrowed his eyes.

A butterfly with green wings flew to him. The butterfly kept swinging its wings, and its translucent wings looked like fragile petals.

Raising his hand, Angele released some energy particles. The butterfly landed on his finger and slowly stopped swinging its wings.

"They know we're here…" Angele sneered and held the butterfly in hand. He gripped and turned the butterfly into a pile of green dust, disappearing into the wind.

"There's no point to hide, then."

He waved his hand and a team of soldiers that were wearing the same hunter's suit appeared. The soldiers passed by Angele and rushed to the city.

Angele stepped forward, followed by three balls of black smoke. He overlooked the valley and saw the two black robes on the other side of the city.

CHI*

Angele disappeared into a ball of flames along with the smoke balls.

Suddenly, the two black robes' expressions changed.

"Go! Inform the leader!" The man with the eyepatch on the left eye waved his hand and released pieces of broken stones. The stone pieces turned into a small bird and flew into the air.

The bird turned into a pile of black smoke and disappeared after it flew for a while.

The eyepatch brothers had no time to think, they opened their pouches at the same time.

They released some green dust, which surrounded their bodies as they started chanting the incantation.

Angele and the three smoke balls appeared in front of the green dust.

One of the smoke balls chuckled and aimed at the eyepatch brothers using his hands.

BAM*

A strong invisible force pressured the green dust and turned it into a vase-shaped object.

"Master, you were right. They decided to eliminate the Elemental Hand first so we headed to your location immediately." Vass sneered. "Let's finish them off first and then we can go deal with the other enemies."

BOOM*

The green dust vase exploded and the eyepatch brothers were escaping in opposite side.

"Die!" Viss released two black strings that were flying to the eyepatch brothers.

The black strings contacted the brothers' bodies and green light dots splashed in the air.

Crack*

It sounded like eggs being cracked.

The brothers groaned and blocked the strings using energy barriers.

Viss was a bit surprised. "Go! They're both rank 4 wizards!"

Three smoke balls charged to the brothers at the same time.

Angele was not interested in the fight, he was observing the situation of the city. It seemed like the city had turned into a battlefield.

Groups black shadows rushed into the city and they were fighting the soldiers in black armor that were defending the city. They were all wearing black and Angele almost failed to figure out who they were fighting for.

Angele pointed forward and dropped a lot of fireballs on the ground, the fireballs quickly turned into 20 lion men.

Roar*

Five of the lion men were stronger than the others, they had the same power level as rank 1 wizards.

"Go!" Angele pointed at Innova City.

Woo*

The 20 lion men were surrounded by dark flames after an explosion. They swung their wings and flew to the city. The negative emotions in the air turned into black smoke, which was absorbed by the lion men.

The 20 lion men lined up and joined the battlefield. They looked like two red lines that were swimming in a dark pool.

Angele watched the battlefield quietly; people were screaming and roaring. The noise mixed together and echoed in his ears. Red and green light balls were flashing in the town.

WOO*

Suddenly, a vibrating noise came from Angele's body slowly.

The sign of scorpion appeared between his brow and his whole body was coated with a red glow. It felt like the light was released by his body.

Hisss*

The vibration noise sounded like it was made by a snake.

Angele could sense the familiar power inside his body; it was trying to block the realm power of the wizard world for him.

"Power of the nightmare…" He recognized the power.

"Nightmare Realm is moving closer to the wizard world."

Angele slowly closed his eyes, he could feel that the power restriction was weakened. His attributes were slowly increasing and his energy waves had the same power as the ones released by rank 4 wizards.

"My plan was perfect." Angele smiled. "I gave them the coordinates before I left Nightmare Realm and it was about time that they started moving."

With the coordinates, the lords would be able to build a special building after collecting the required resources and Nightmare Realm would be pulled to the coordinates at a faster rate.

Chapter 491: War Continues (6)

People who helped in the plan would be buffed and protected by the power of nightmare. Angele would acquire more and more power of nightmare as the two realms got closer and his true power would recover gradually. He would be able to acquire the power of the refined true form after the two realms connected.

Angele was accepted by the Nightmare Realm and that was how he received the power of nightmare through the dimension channel.

The red light around Angele's body was getting intense. The strong power of nightmare was the source of the red light and the light brightened up the area around him.

The ground turned red, the green grass withered, and insects were burnt black under the intense red light.

A sulfurous smell permeated the air and the temperature was raising.

The power was out of Angele's control.

'Power of nightmare is the like an endless pollution. The power will become stronger if the world is a chaos. However, I didn't expect it to create a heat aura around my body.'

His brow furrowed, he hated that he could not control his own power.

The heat aura was out of control, it was the physical display of the power from the Nightmare Realm.

PA*

He stepped forward and the grass in the front turned in to ashes.

Viss and the other two finished the job, they brought back the fainted eyepatch brothers.

"Master?" Viss was a bit confused as he saw Angele.

The red aura was similar to the high temperature field. The aura was effective on normal creatures, however, it would not do anything to strong living beings.

"Throw them to me," Angele muttered.

Viss's body was a bit blurry in the black smoke. He grabbed the two fainted wizards and threw them to Angele.

PA*

The eyepatch brothers were illuminated by the red light.

"Ah…!" The two wizards were groaning in pain.

Blisters appeared on the surface of their bodies. Their skin that was exposed to the air was covered with blisters and sticky yellow liquid spurted out of their eyes. Their eyeballs were burnt and that was where the liquid came from.

White steam rose from the two wizards' bodies as their skin started drying. They were struggling on the ground as water left their bodies.

Angele walked to the two dying wizards and stabbed their skulls using hair. The hair pulled two red souls out of their body and quickly absorbed them.

Viss could not see the souls, he watched the two wizards turn into two burnt bodies, but he remained silent during the process.

The eyepatch brothers were killed by the aura easily.

WOO*

The two dead bodies were ignited and they were turned into two piles of ashes.

"The aura…" Viss was terrified.

"I'm just testing its power. The aura will only be effective when the target loses his ability to fight," Angele explained with a smile on the face. "It seems like you're injured."

The three smoke balls did not respond.

"Were they strong?" Angele questioned in a calm tone.

"Master, their power exceeded our expectations. I suggest that we retreat immediately. Their main force set up an ambush in the area and it's nearly impossible for us to stop them," Freylin said in a deep tone. He was severely injured and the smoke surrounding his body turned gray.

"Don't worry…" Angele remained calm. His power level was increasing gradually as the Nightmare Realm approached the wizard world. His power level was already higher than the power level of an average rank 4 wizard so there was no point for him to hide.

Also, the more people died, the faster he would be able to collect the souls, and Angele had to collect the souls by himself.

"Master, we're here to assist you, but we'll not sacrifice our lives for you," Viss advised. "Prince Evil Dragon won't blame us if we decide to leave you behind."

"I understand." Angele chuckled. "The enemy's main force probably already detected us and they'll come for us. They are not far from here, if you don't want to be backstabbed on the way, you can just leave now."

"We're the shadow force and we know how to stay undetected," Viss responded in a calm tone.

"Go ahead then." Angele was not concerned.

The battle in the city almost ended, two red strings returned to Angele and turned into 12 lion men.

They were all injured, some of them lost their arms during the battle and were still recovering.

Two of the lion men already had the power level of a rank 3 wizard and the rest of them had the same power level as a rank 2 or rank 1 wizard. It seemed like they absorbed a decent amount of souls and negative emotions on the battlefield.

The lion men's power level would increase as they fought. Every time they absorbed negative emotions or souls, they would be strengthened; however, they would never be stronger than Angele.

The highest power level the lion men could reach was the same as a rank 4 wizard. Their attack power and defense power would be around 1000 degrees which were the same as Angele. This power level was not calculated using Angele's true form or refined true form.

If the lion men could reach rank 4, they would be good enough for the wizard world.

Each of the lion men was around two meters tall but they were over three meters tall after being strengthened. The two rank 3 lion men were over four meters tall.

Viss was surprised after seeing those lion men.

"Alright, Master, it seems like you already have your plan, so…" Viss recalled the words Prince Evil Dragon told him.

"...So, we decided to follow you and assist you"

Angele hesitated for a second and smiled. "Thanks, I'll remember that."

Suddenly, he looked at the far side of the valley as he detected a strong energy wave coming to him.

"Our friends are here."

Angele stepped forward, raised his right hand, and grasped at the air.

WOO*

A large piece of white stone mixed with mud and turned into a large stone bow that was over six meters long and one meter wide. Angele held the stone bow in hand carefully.

The bow looked like a large tower shield.

"First, let me send them a welcome gift…"

Angele pulled the bow using the left hand.

CHI*

The bowstring was formed by his long red hair and was fully drawn.

A loud noise was coming from the ground.

Broken pieces of stones floated in the air, they mixed with mud and turned into an enormous gray arrow on the bow.

Countless red dots left Angele's body and sank into the arrow. The whole arrow was coated by a red glow and it turned translucent.

"Go now."

Angele pursed his lips into a smile and blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes.

CHI*

The arrow drew a red string in the air and disappeared. Countless dark red dots covered the sky after several seconds.

Somewhere in a valley in the Innova Mountains.

A team of soldiers in white armor was rushing to the deep valley. The leader was a woman in white armor and there was a shadow plate rotating behind her. The woman was surrounded by strong invisible energy waves.

"Hurry! Move!" the captains behind the woman shouted.

There were more than three hundred soldiers on the team and some of them were in charge of the cannons.

The woman had a blank expression on the face.

"How long until we can reach the Innova City?"

"One glass hour!" the middle-aged man behind her responded.

The woman glanced at her team. She was the only one that was not sweating, the other soldiers were all tired. Their hair was soaked in sweat.

"We need to have some rest here. The team is exhausted!" the man advised.

"We have no time to waste. Ask the soldiers to drink the potions," the woman responded in a cold tone, "and keep moving!"

The man was a bit speechless, he asked the messenger to inform the soldiers.

The soldiers took out some pink potions and quickly drank them all.

"Keep moving!" the messenger shouted.

The team kept advancing in the valley.

The woman's expression suddenly changed after they advanced for a while.

"Wait!" she shouted and flew into the air. "Prepare for a strike!"

Raising her head, the woman looked at the sky.

A red dot appeared in the gray sky. Seconds later, the second and the third red dots also appeared.

The sky was covered with countless dark-red dots in the blink of the eye.

The woman quickly grabbed a greatsword from the shadow plate.

Chi*

Clank*

The greatsword blocked an arrow.

CHI CHI CHI*

The endless rain of red arrows started dropping one after another.

The soldiers were groaning after the arrows landed, the energy barriers they put up were easily destroyed like sheets of paper. Each arrow could deal a lot of damage, only the rank 2 wizards could block the arrows. However, none of them could cast strong defensive spells, including the woman.

"Damn! This energy wave…" The woman narrowed her eyes.

"How familiar! It's that guy!"

Angele held the stone bow in hand and watched the rain of arrows falling down.

"How beautiful…"

Viss the other two wizards remained silent, they were surprised by the spell Angele just cast, and they realized that they'd underestimated Angele's power.

Angele turned around and spoke, "The team we're trying to eliminate is just a small army. There are more than three hundred thousand soldiers in their legions and we must end this battle as fast as possible."

"Yes, Master…" the three wizards responded politely.

"I'll tell Prince Evil Dragon that you helped me a lot this time," Angele muttered. "Alright, let's move."

He turned around before the three responded and jumped off the cliff, flying to the valley.

The areas that Angele passed by were burnt black by the aura; the grass turned into piles of ashes, the stones were red—it looked like a demon flying by.

The gray walls of the mountains blurred in Angele's sight.

He overlooked the area in the front and finally found a team of soldiers in white armors standing among the large rocks.

The leader was a familiar woman that was wearing white armor.

The woman's eyes turned red after noticing Angele's presence.

"You again!"

She flew into the air and the plate behind her started rotating, handles of the weapons appeared on the surface of the plate.

There was a sword, a spear, a dagger, a bow, and a mirror. The weapons kept rotating and they almost looked like blurry shadows.

They floated in the valley and released strong energy waves. The wind in the valley was getting stronger due to the intense energy waves.

Two more white shadows flew into the sky and stayed behind the woman.

"Long time no see… It seems like life has been treating you well." Angele looked at the woman calmly.

The woman had a slim body and clean skin; however, anger was written all over her pretty face.

"I'll never forget what you did to me during the competition."

The tight white armor fitted her balanced body perfectly. Angele was certain that the woman would be attractive without the terrifying expression on her face.

"If that's the case, why are even trying to fight me again?" Angele smiled leaned to the left.

CHI*

A white light flew past his neck and the strong wind blew his hair into the air.

"Is that how you welcome your guest…?" Angele disappeared into red light; he turned into a red string, jumping around the valley.

Rays of white light were following after him but they all missed.

The woman released countless arrows using her long bow. The long bow blurred and turned into more than ten shadow bows that were firing arrows to all angles.

It felt like the woman had more than ten pairs of arms that were controlling all the bows.

CHI CHI*

The noise made by the bow echoed in the air.

The two wizards behind her were giving orders to the soldiers. Their bodies were surrounded by a white glow and it seemed like they were preparing a strong spell.

Angele jumped around and kept dodging the arrows.

"You improved a lot… It seems like you worked hard…" Angele's voice was louder than the noise made by the arrows.

"You're the reason why I kept improving!" The woman had a blank expression on the face. "I spent years trying to strengthen my abilities after I lost the battle, however, I didn't expect you to improve that much."

She dropped the white bow and grabbed a black dagger from the plate. The dagger was dark and its blade was not reflecting any light. The wavy blade looked like a black snake in her hand.

"Frost Hand!" she shouted and leaned back, throwing the dagger out.

The soldiers behind the woman raised their hands at the same time. Black light dots were released from their bodies and the light dots landed on the white plate, coating its surface.

The sky got dark and black light flashed in the whole valley.

Angele was slowed down for a second and one of the arrows was right in front of his face.

He quickly drew his dagger and raised it to the air.

Clank*

The dagger and the arrow broke into countless pieces and spread into the air. The broken pieces interrupted the black dagger—the dagger passed by his waist. The black dagger cracked and released some Ice energy waves, but the ice damage was blocked by Angele's aura.

Angele's brow furrowed, he hesitated for a second and dozens of white arrows appeared in his sight. He jumped forward and disappeared into a red string again.

"Why do you hate me so much? I had to kill you because it was a competition," Angele spoke in a calm tone.

The woman's eyes were full of hatred. "Face me! You bastard!"

Opening her arms, the plate behind her started rotating at a much faster speed, weapons flew out of the plate and charged to Angele.

Most of the weapons were coated with dark energy, tracking down Angele who was still flying in the air.

The woman grabbed two long blades from the white plate after releasing the weapons and disappeared into the air.

Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes, he was scanning the area constantly.

"I heard the concept gear will be strengthened if the owner becomes stronger. Is it the same for the concept gear you have?"

He leaned to the right and dodged another flying weapon.

The woman appeared in front of Angele, swinging the blades like crazy.

"I can sense your anger…" Angele smiled.

"Interesting, you're not using your power correctly."

"Shut up! I'll eliminate you!" the woman screamed, black blood veins appeared on her body and her face slowly.

The woman was swinging her blades faster and faster.

The flying dark weapons were also attacking Angele from all angles, some of the weapons went through the woman's body without hurting her for some reason.

The flying weapons almost formed a weapon ball around the two.

Green vines started growing on the ground, they struck into the air and twisted around the weapon ball.

CHI*

After the noise, the green vines turned the weapon ball into a vine ball. The vines formed a long green pillar and the weapon ball was on top of the green pillar.

The woman flew out of the vine ball, traveled through all the obstacles, and floated in the air.

"Judgemental Light!" she shouted, aimed at the ball, and clapped.

Crack*

Cracks appeared on the black plate behind her, it seemed like the concept gear could not handle the power. The soldiers all spat out some blood and fell to the ground, it felt like they released all their power.

Tears started dripping down the woman's chin.

CHI*

A ray of white light penetrated the large ball.

CHI CHI CHI*

Countless white light pierced through the large ball and brightened up the whole dark valley.

"It's over…" The woman sighed as the shadow plate behind her broke into pieces.

"Yeah, it's over." A male voice came from behind.

The woman's pupils retracted, she could feel the intense pain coming from her back.

Lowering her head, the woman stared at the center of her chest. A black dot spread on her chest and turned into the shape of a scorpion.

BAM*

The woman was blown to the ground. She landed on the ground like a bullet and created a large hole.

She lay in the hole and he looked surprised. The woman's body was covered with black blood veins and the scene was terrifying.

Angele floated above the woman. His right arm was coated with a red glow, he was recreating his physical form.

'Over 6000 degrees of energy…' he thought.

"You can kill any rank 4 wizard with such strong power but…"

"How… is that even possible…" Blood spurted out of the woman's mouth as she talked.

Angele stared at the woman. "I haven't moved an inch since the battle started. You were just attacking my illusion."

BAM*

He kicked the woman in the stomach and the land the woman was lying on cracked again.

The woman spat out some more blood.

"Your anger took wisdom away. There's nothing you can do even with such a strong power," Angele spoke in a light tone. "Your mind is not strong enough to control such power."

Angele lowered his body and grabbed the woman's neck, trying to remove a piece of armor off her body.

WOO*

A ray of white light blocked his hand.

"Huh?"

Angele was a bit confused, it felt like his hand was hit by some electric pulses.

"I thought you were no longer accepted by your concept gear. Why can't I take it off your body?"

The woman was barely breathing and it seemed like she was about to die.

Angele narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, a lot of smoke appeared in the sky, and three smoke balls landed in front of him.

"Master, we've scouted the area, the soldiers in white armor are all they have. There's no ambush or anything, but we found a lot of cannons," Viss reported back.

"Bring the cannons back." Angele waved his hand. "Have you dealt with all the soldiers?"

"Yes, we killed the ones who tried to fight back and captured about 600 prisoners. How should we…" Viss questioned politely.

"Execute them all," Angele gave the order before Viss finished his words.

"Master… those soldiers are…"

"I said it. Execute them all." Angele was getting impatient.

"If we failed to stop them, they would've already eliminated the main force of the Elemental Hand. I need to make sure that all threats are eliminated. This is a war!"

Chapter 493: War Continues (8)

Viss and the other two wizards did not say anything else, they left the area and returned to the black smoke.

Teams of black shadows appeared around the captured soldiers and started eliminating them one by one.

There were people groaning and begging for their lives.

Angele's brow furrowed and he glanced at the woman in the hole. He thought for a while and took out a silver dagger.

He cut his finger open using the dagger and a drop of blood spurted out of the wound.

Angele grabbed the woman's chin and dropped the blood into her throat.

Seconds later, the woman's pupils retracted and the black blood veins slowly disappeared from her body.

"You!" The woman suddenly sat up and a white dagger appeared in her hand—she tried to stab Angele's stomach.

"Ah!" She suddenly released the dagger from her hand and groaned as she held her head.

Angele stood there, his eyes surrounded by a red glow. He stared at the woman who was rolling on the ground.

"I'm like your ancestor now, you'll be punished if you try to attack me," he spoke in a light tone. "You'd be dead already if I didn't help you. I used my blood to refill your life energy and the drop of blood is why you're still alive.

"Alright, I have no time to waste. Tell me, how to take the concept gear off your body?"

The woman recovered from the headache, she kneeled and remained silent.

"Are you deaf?" Angele narrowed his eyes and grabbed the woman by her hair.

"Just kill me…" The woman looked at Angele with her soulless eyes.

"I have no strong background and I'm just a chess piece that they don't care about. The organization won't care if I can complete my mission or not…"

"Huh? Why is the Dark Wizard Tower so confident?" Angele wondered.

"I don't know…" The woman closed her eyes and raised her right arm. She tried to suicide by sending energy particles into her heart.

Angele snorted and the woman suddenly stopped moving.

"I need to you to be alive before I take the concept gear off your body."

The drop of blood he sent into the woman's body had the bloodline of Lord of Terror in it.

The woman's body had no way to resist the bloodline of a strong being that had the same power level as a rank 8 wizard. The bloodline conquered all the critical organs in the woman's body and the woman was turned into an inheritor of his.

Angele could control the woman's movement using his mind. It was like controlling a puppet with a human soul in it.

He thought for a while and pulled the woman toward him.

"Energy Drain…" He chanted the incantation in the universal ancient language.

The woman's mouth was wide open, white smoke came out of her eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. The white smoke gathered on Angele's palm.

The woman's life energy was being drained as the white smoke left her body.

A living being's life expectancy would be decreased if their life energy was weakened.

Angele wanted to make sure that the woman was no longer a threat to him so he drained her life energy. The woman could still live for around ten years and would have to stay with Angele just to survive due to the bloodline of the Lord of Terror.

To the creatures of other realms, the bloodline of the Lord of Terror was the essence of the power of Nightmare Realm. The creatures would do anything to survive with the essence in their bodies.

The bloodline of the Lord of Terror had similar features as the power of Nightmare Realm. They were both aggressive and they would try to take control of the creatures who were not owners of the bloodline or the power.

Angele assumed that was the reason why he was accepted by Nightmare Realm as Lord of Terror. His personality fitted the theme well.

The situation was the same for the woman, the bloodline in her body would make her try her best to survive even if she wanted to suicide. Survival had become her instinct and the situation would not change even if she was not mindless.

Angele sneered, he lowered his hand and glanced at the battlefield that was full of shadows.

The soldiers in white armors were all eliminated.

Their souls were drawn to Angele and he absorbed them immediately.

"Let's leave after everything is done."

"Yes, Master," one of the shadows responded.

The shadows cleaned the battlefield as fast as possible; the dead bodies of the soldiers were either buried or melted.

Angele grabbed the woman and jumped to a hill, overlooking the far side.

He noticed that there was a team moving to the valley on the other side of the yellow plain. The leaders of the team were riding unicorns and Vivian was one of the leaders. Vivian was talking to an old man beside her, her brow furrowed and it looked like she was worried.

"That woman will be captured by the legion commanders and sold to the nobles of the empire, you can't save her!" The woman recovered a bit and started mocking Angele.

"She'll become a sex slave and be tortured by hundreds of people. Not only her body, her soul will also be tortured! Maybe you'll get some young brothers or sisters later, ha!"

"Ah!" The woman's head started aching again. "Why don't you just kill me?!"

Angele was not concerned, he glanced at the woman and observed the team of the Elemental Hand again.

"Master, it's done." Viss's voice came from behind.

"Retreat!" Angele waved his hand.

The black smoke started moving and disappeared from the valley within minutes.

Angele stared at Vivian for a while, turned around, and disappeared into the valley.

"Vivian?" The Fourth Elder looked at Vivian.

"What happened?"

Vivian rubbed her temple and spoke in a light tone, "Nothing… Someone was staring at us, but I don't feel anything now."

A teenager that was about 15 years old approached Vivian with a red bowl in hand—it was full of warm blue soup.

"Master Vivian, you're having trouble sleeping lately. I made this blue flower meat soup, would you like some?"

The teenager was blushing; he glanced at Vivian and it seemed like he liked Vivian a lot.

"Thank you, Colin." Vivian smiled and grabbed the bowl.

"It's great." She sipped from the bowl.

"I'm glad you like it." The teenager looked excited, he turned around and ran away.

There was a bitter smile on Fourth Elder's face. "Sorry, Vivian. Well, you know what my boy is thinking…"

There was also a bitter smile on Vivian's face.

The young men of the team all tried to impress Vivian when they were traveling. Colin was the only problem for Vivian, he was a beloved student of Fourth Elder and he liked Vivian as well. There was a war going on and the two elders would rather focus on the situation.

"It has been years, but you've never changed, Vivian…" Fourth Elder chuckled.

"You and Henn are the two most attractive women of the Elemental Hand."

Vivian did not respond to those words, she was a bit speechless.

"The sigil Henn gave Green is no longer working, I hope Green is doing where. If his injury got worse when he was outside, I don't know what will happen…"

"Don't worry." Fourth Elder was not sure what he should say.

"He's your son and everything should be fine. You should think more for yourself so that tragedy won't happen again."

Vivian forced a smile on her face and remained silent.

In the Molten River area.

A random cave.

Angele sat opposite to a golden bird cage with a blank expression on the face.

The cave was dark and narrow, they were the only two in the cave.

A golden bird was standing in the cage quietly, staring at Angele. It almost felt like the bird was a human being.

"I just become a rank 4 wizard and I'm much weaker than you. Why did you offer me help and why do you want to talk to me?"

"We're friends who signed the chaos contract, I'll help you when you're in trouble," Prince Evil Dragon spoke in a low voice. "I trust the prophet and the guardians. The new Mirror Lord and the general of the Sky Lord are all playing important roles in their organizations."

"I'm definitely not one of them." Angele smiled. "Just go straight to the point."

Prince Evil Dragon nodded.

"Alright, you were promoted in the Dark Wizard Tower, right? I have a plan here. The important members of the Dark Wizard Tower are preparing a secret magic circle. The alliance has gathered an army. Half of our rank 4 wizards will join the operation since we need to make sure that the magic circle is destroyed, otherwise, we'll be in trouble when the war starts." It seemed like Prince Evil Dragon had no idea that Angele was no longer serving the Dark Wizard Tower.

Angele took a sip of the flower tea. "The Dark Wizard Tower is fighting against the Shadow Realm and they still have the time to prepare a secret magic circle."

"We didn't expect that as well, but our intel is trustable. Our strong wizards are fighting against the legions and we need your help to complete the mission." Prince Evil Dragon finally went to the point.

"Why do you trust me so much?" Angele chuckled.

"I'm certain that you're not just an average rank 4 wizard." It seemed like Prince Evil Dragon was a believer of the guardians. "What do you say?"

Chapter 494: Dangerous Operation (1)

"I only have one choice, don't I?" Angele shrugged. "I don't want the Dark Wizard Tower to take over my homeland."

"I'm glad that you can make the decision so fast." Prince Evil Dragon smiled. "What about the contract you signed with the Dark Wizard Tower—will that be a problem?"

"It won't be a problem. The contract stated that I need to work for the organization if I'm enjoying the benefits it provided. I'm not getting anything from the Dark Wizard Tower so I don't have to work for it. Alright, I'll be leaving now, it seems like someone else is visiting you." Angele stood up and straightened his back.

"Close the door for me."

"Sure, no worries."

Angele stepped out of the cave and was about to close the door. He saw a man in a gray robe walking in the hallway.

The gray robe glanced at Angele and lowered his head.

Angele narrowed his eyes, he noticed that the man had pale skin, a pair of sharp eyes, and golden eyebrows.

They walked past each other. The gray robe entered the cave and closed the door. The stone cave was completely sealed after the door closed.

Angele stopped and thought for a while. He shook his head slightly and walked to the exit.

He walked down the long dark tunnel and a bright exit appeared in the front.

Outside the exit was a cliff of a mountain and the ground was covered with broken pieces of red stones.

Angele stood on the cliff and overlooked the area.

On the yellow plain under the dark sky, a large army wearing white outfits lined up on the ground and there were soldiers merging into the army. They looked like two long white lines.

There were white griffins and black eagles in the sky. They were rotating in a triangular formation and each of the flying mounts was at least seven meters long. The knights on their backs were wearing light armor and holding dragon lances that were more than ten meters long in hand.

Strangely, the flying mounts were all holding irregular crystals in their sharp claws.

"They're already gathering the army…" Angele overlooked the soldiers.

There was a wizard with white hair standing in front of the formation, he was holding a white basket that was full of flowers in his hand. He grabbed some pink petals and threw them to the knight that was standing in front of him.

The knight kneeled and the two metal wings on his back opened. The metal wings were swinging like real wings, it almost looked the wings were part of his body.

The knight was wearing a sealed helmet and heavy armor. He looked like a war machine, he was almost five meters tall even when he kneeled.

Brrring*

A long and deep sound made by a bell echoed in the air.

The flying mounts that were rotating in the sky broke the crystals they were holding into pieces. The crystals turned into black petals and started falling.

The petals landed on the soldiers' shoulders and hands. The looked like plain decorations on the white armor the soldiers were wearing.

KA*

The silver knight slowly stood up and drew his greatsword, raising it to the air.

"Victory to us!" A deep and loud noise came from his helmet and it echoed in the whole area.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

The army got noisy as all the soldiers raised their long swords and shouted.

WOO*

It sounded like someone blowing a large horn.

The knight raised his head and looked at the gray sky. A team of enormous red eagles that were surrounded by small eagles was flying in the sky. There were so many of them they looked like a red cloud.

Each of the large red eagles was over 300 meters long, they looked like heavy fortresses that were flying in the air.

Angele by the entrance of the cave and looked at the red eagles. He was a bit excited.

"The guardian beast of the Sky Lord and Prince Evil Dragon's Giant Knight Legion. They're ready for the final battle."

Some of the black petals were blown to Angele by the wind.

He grabbed one of the petals and noticed that the petal was releasing some strange energy waves that were trying to enter his body.

Angele dropped the petal and looked to the right. There were several gray robes with arms that looked like eagle wings landing on an empty platform.

Their arms returned to normal after they landed safely on the surface of the platform.

A female gray robe noticed Angele's presence and glared at him, but she did not do anything. She just led the team into the cave by the platform.

Angele was not concerned, he jumped down and turned into a ball of dark flames, flying down to the left.

The flames rotated around the mountain and landed on a pile of stones.

On the empty ground by the stones, the woman in white armor was checking the campfire that had already extinguished. It seemed like something was buried in the ashes of the campfire and she was trying to pick the thing up.

The dark flames landed behind the woman and turned into Angele.

"So, what do you say? Just give me your concept gear," Angele spoke.

The woman did not turn her head around.

"You're daydreaming." She was removing the skin of the food in her hand. She took a big bite and started chewing it.

The woman's white armor was dirty, it was covered with dirt and dust. Also, she tied her long black hair up and Angele could easily see the grease on her face.

The food the woman was eating looked like sweet potato and the fragrance permeated the air.

Angele stood behind the woman and remained silent.

"I'll die sooner or later, right?" The woman finished the food and turned around.

She stared at Angele in the eyes and started mocking him again. "I can't cast spells anymore and my body is weakened. I'm just a mortal now. You can rape me, torture me, or just do whatever you want. I'm prepared."

"Well, sounds good." Angele was a bit surprised. He thought for a while and took out a finger-long test tube from the black mirror that was hanging on his belt.

There was a white egg-shaped ball inside the test tube and that was it.

Angele unsealed the test tube carefully and took out the white ball.

He looked at the woman. "Eat it."

The woman grabbed the ball and swallowed it without asking any questions.

"You'll force me to eat it if I refuse so I'll just do it myself." Her brow furrowed after swallowing the ball. "It's sweet but the aftertaste is strange."

"You'll know what it does later. I made it not so long ago." Angele shrugged. "Let's go. I need to join an operation. The war is still going on."

They walked to the top of the mountain.

"The Giant Knight Legion and the guardian beasts are here. There must be different legions in different areas. Have you finished the rune circles I asked you to prepare?" Angele wondered as he climbed up the hill.

"It's done. You can check my memory, right? Why don't you just check it yourself," the woman responded.

"Becky, that's the name you used in the last 200 years. I'll just call you that," Angele said without turning his head around. "You're right, we are just chess pieces in the war between the Dark Wizard Tower and the wizards of central continent. I never thought you'd hate me so much. Without that competition, things would be much easier for us."

"I understand what you're trying to imply." Becky wiped her mouth but her pretty face was still dirty. "It doesn't matter now."

Angele smiled and continued, "You tried to suicide 13 times but you never succeeded. It's the power of the bloodline, you won't be able to do anything."

The two kept advancing through the broken pieces of stones.

"You know everything, yeah." Becky shrugged and mocked him.

"Your concept gear is valuable to me." Angele smiled and stopped talking.

They remained silent as they advanced.

Minutes later, a flat platform appeared ahead—there were around ten people waiting on the platform. They were wearing black or white robes, but none of them had any badges on them.

An old man that was standing by the edge of the platform glanced at Angele and said, "Alright, two more."

The flying beasts in the sky were still roaring, the beasts and the griffins were also making noises.

The other people on the platform were not concerned, they were chatting or meditating on the ground. There were also several people just checking the surroundings.

Angele walked to a less crowded area with Becky.

A man and a woman with red hair were chatting on the right. The man glanced at Angele and it looked like he was surprised.

"Are you from the Elemental Hand?" The man wondered.

Angel was a bit surprised. "Sorry, you're?"

The man walked to Angele and smiled. "I'm from the St. King Mountains and I'm here to help the alliance. I thought it would take the members of the Elemental Hand a while to arrive."

"St. King Mountains?" Angele had heard of this organization, it was one of the strongest organizations in the west. The members of the organization were good at energy modification and tracking spells. Their modified fire rune circles were famous and the organization communicated with Elemental Hand a lot. The Watchers used to visit St. King Mountains from time to time.

The man with red hair smiled and said, "My name is Justin and this is Monteria. She's a Fire Raven." He introduced himself and the woman to Angele.

The woman nodded and smiled, but did not say anything.

"As a Fire Raven, Monteria's throat is different, so she won't talk," Justin explained.

Angele nodded. "I understand. The Fire Ravens have different throats than normal creatures. It's fine."

They had a short conversation and traded information about their organizations. Angele already knew what Justin was implying.

They were all rank 4 wizards and they should help each other in the operation. Angele was not concerned, he needed more information anyway. The two wizards were talking to each other like they were old friends. They even talked about spell modification.

Becky was resting on the side with her eyes closed. Monteria was just listening to their conversation with a smile on the face, she remained silent.

Half an hour later, three more people appeared on the platform. Two were male and the other was a female. One of the men was half-naked, he was wearing a bone helmet and a leather skirt. There were some complicated tattoos that looked like totems on his face.

The man glanced at the group and his sight fell upon a female black robe that was standing alone on the platform.

"Fiona, I didn't expect to see you here. What did Prince Evil Dragon offer you?" he questioned in a deep tone.

The woman named Fiona was reading a brown leather book. She raised her head and looked at the man after hearing his words.

"Anchura? I thought you were hunting the black-striped rhinos on the ice plain."

Chapter 495: Dangerous Operation (2)

Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu

Anchura sneered and glanced at the wizards again; his sight fell upon an old man with a cold expression on the face.

"It's you!" Anchura's voice was a bit shaky, he released a strong energy wave and it seemed like he was trying to attack the old man.

BAM*

The old man remained calm, he created a shadow of a purple leopard, blocking the energy wave.

The left-over energy wave was spreading to other wizards.

The other wizards' expressions changed, they knew how strong the energy wave was.

"Calm down, young man. There's no point to do this here," the old man spoke in a deep tone, but the voice sounded like it was that of a little girl.

Anchura stared at the old man. "You robbed my merchants and took my Life Grass… I didn't expect to meet you here. Who're you anyway!"

The old man lowered his head and did not respond. It seemed like Anchura feared the old man, he calmed down and sat down.

Angele checked the left-over energy wave in the air and his expression changed.

'Such a strong energy wave…'

Justin noticed what Angele was thinking and explained, "They're the strongest wizards here, Fiona the Shadow Hand, Anchura the Barbarian, and the old man. I don't know anything about the old man, but the shadow leopard easily blocked a top-level rank 4 wizard's energy wave."

Angele nodded. "You're right, the energy waves the three wizards released were extremely strong; if they actually cast spells, they could easily change the outcome of a small battle, and with their final trump cards…"

"It's normal. Anchura is one of the strongest barbarians, famous for what he did during the Giant War around 300 years ago. Fiona eliminated the strong beings of other realms multiple times and was awarded the Purple Badge by the three lords. Also, she was the only one with the title Chaos Slayer in the area." Justin was familiar with the situation and kept explaining.

"I've heard about the Purple Badge—only people who contributed the most in wars will be awarded the badge, but Chaos Slayer… Did she eliminate the creatures from the Chaos Realm?"

"No, the creature she eliminated was not from the Chaos Realm but the Confusion Realm. I heard that the creature teleported to the wizard world by accident and already slaughtered a whole empire in the west when we received the information." Justin lowered his voice.

Angele nodded, he learned about the situation through the books, but it seemed like Justin knew more about the details.

Angele had a general idea about Anchura and the old man's power level after checking the energy waves they released. They had similar power level as Viss, they were strong rank 4 wizards.

The situation was the same for Angele if he did not use his final trump cards. However, he was not sure how strong Fiona was, but she was at least at the same level as Anchura and the old man.

Angele was a bit anxious when there were three people that had the similar power level as him in the team.

He separated the rank 4 wizards into 4 categories using the information he collected.

The mid-level rank 4 wizards were normal wizards who reached rank 4 after practicing for hundreds of years.

The high-level rank 4 wizards were wizards like Viss.

The top-level rank 4 wizards were wizards like Anchura, Fiona, and Angele. Also, the rank 4 wizards with strong Legacy Magic Circles were also top-level rank 4 wizards, like Vivian.

The strangest rank 4 wizards were wizards like Becky, her strongest ability could deal over 7000 degrees of damage. If Angele did not have the strong illusion ability and Becky was too angry during the fight, Angele might lose the battle since he had no way to handle such strong damage.

Angele turned Becky into his inheritor because he wanted to learn more about her power and her concept gear.

Several minutes later, two more people arrived at the platform and there was a total of 21 rank 4 wizards here. Most of them were mid-level rank 4 wizards and were much stronger than the wizards who were below rank 4.

The old man by the edge stood up after he counted the numbers. "Alright, I'll activate the portal since we're all here, what do you think?"

No one said anything. The old man nodded and raised his right hand, pressing down. It seemed like he pressed on something invisible and the object made some loud noise.

A golden rune circle appeared on the platform; there were countless lines in the complicated rune circle. The light released by the rune circle was eye-blinding.

The old man shouted; his feet turned into black tree roots and rooted on the golden rune circle.

BAM*

After the noise, the whole platform was covered with golden light and Angele could not see anything.

He grabbed Becky and stayed away from the others. The only thing in his sight was the golden light and the noise that sounded like a strong wind blowing.

The feeling was similar to the feeling he had when he was teleported to the Soul River Realm.

After about ten seconds, the golden light disappeared from his sight.

There was a large black cave in front of him. He could see the red light dots that looked like tiny red eyes flashing in the cave.

Angele and the other wizards stood in a well and the white light coming from the top surrounded them.

He was at the edge of the light since he kept a distance from the other wizards.

"Watch out!"

Justin's voice suddenly came from the left, Angele noticed that his body was brushed over by some chilling wind and it seemed like something was charging to him.

"Becky!"

BAM*

Becky suddenly appeared in front of Angele and blocked the attack, but she was blown away by a strong force.

BAM*

Becky hit the wall of the cave and blood was spurting out of her mouth. Her left arm was twisted at a strange angle.

The chilling wind approached Angele's back again.

Becky's body disappeared from the wall and blocked the attack for Angele again.

CHI*

Her stomach was penetrated by an invisible claw and she grabbed the claw tight.

"Great!" Angele pointed at Becky and released two balls of flames. The fireballs turned into two lion men and jumped to the area in front of Becky.

The sharp claws of the lion men grabbed the invisible creature that attacked them and started pulling at it hard.

BAM*

After the noise, the two lion men with the same power level as rank 3 wizards were blown away by the creature. The creature pulled its claw out of Becky's body and disappeared into the air.

Angele's brow furrowed; he looked at the other wizards—they were all attacked by several invisible creatures and he saw another creature disappearing into the air.

None of the wizards was injured, they were just surprised.

"Green, are you alright? How's your servant?" Justin walked to Angele and asked, he was holding a red crystal wand in hand.

"I'm alright and my servant can recover from the injury fast." Angele shook his head. "I think I've seen the creature somewhere…"

Anchura snorted and stepped forward. A red eye appeared between his eyebrows and released a ray of red light, brightening up the area.

Under the red light, one of the invisible beasts suddenly groaned; its voice sounded like it was from a cat.

A piece of flesh that was covered with blood dropped to the ground and melted like a candle. The flesh turned into a small pool of blood within seconds.

"The Blood Throne! This is the Blood Throne!" a wizard shouted. "Those are the invisible blood beasts!"

"The Dark Wizard Tower is planning something big. They are trying to summon the Blood Lord through the Blood Throne."

"Damn, this is a dimension fissure. Now we're in trouble!"

The wizards' expressions changed.

"Calm down!" Fiona stepped forward with the leather book still in hand. The black robe she wore was quite revealing. "It's just the Blood Throne, not the Blood Lord. Blood Lord was the strongest ancient wizard and I doubt he is as powerful as in the ancient times."

The old man that fought with Anchura also stepped forward. "The Dark Wizard Tower hasn't taken over the Blood Throne yet, since we entered the fissure with no problems. We'll defeat the wizards from the Dark Wizard Tower and seal this dimension fissure before it's too late."

"Master Simon is correct." Fiona nodded. "Follow me, everyone. I can sense the remaining dimension wave here. It's left by the members of the Dark Wizard Tower."

She left the light first and walked to the deep cave.

Anchura and Simon followed after Fiona. The rest of the wizards started moving as well.

"Anyway, we should just follow Fiona for now," Justin told Angele in a low voice. "Let's go."

Angele nodded and glanced at Becky.

The wound on Becky's stomach already recovered. Her face was no longer pale and she was trying to fix her arm.

Crack*

Becky stood up and glared at Angele after the noise.

"Let's go."

Angele smiled. "Thanks for the help, I'm counting on the defensive power of your concept gear." He sent the words using energy particles.

Becky sneered. "And the strong recovery ability of your bloodline, right?"

"You're an inheritor of my bloodline, you should take the hit for me." Angele patted Becky's shoulder and started advancing.

The two followed after the wizards and started advancing.

The cave was spacious and the chilling wind lowered the temperature of the whole area. The ground was bumpy since it was covered with broken pieces of stones and ice.

PA*

One of the wizards flicked his finger and a golden light ball appeared over his head. The ball had the size of a basketball and it was floating in the air.

The whole area was brightened up as the light illuminated the wizards' bodies.

Fiona glanced at the light ball. "The healing light, huh? It's creative that you used it as a source of light."

The wizard's brow furrowed but he did not respond to her words.

Angele could feel the warmth of the red light and felt much better in the wind.

The team advanced at full speed for a while and warmth returned to the area. They turned left and suddenly saw bright white light ahead.

The exit of the cave was about 100 meters away and that was where the white light came from.

Simon, who was in front, raised his hand and stopped the team.

"Wait please, there are unknown creatures ahead and I need to apply something to you."

He took out a yellow bag from the pouch and opened it slowly. Simon grabbed some yellow powder and sprinkled it into the air.

The powder turned into shiny yellow dots in the air and dropped to the ground.

Angele was a bit surprised, he noticed that his body was changing.

Raising his hand, Angel noticed that his body turned translucent.

"Let's go." Simon sent the words through energy particles and started moving again. The rest of the wizards followed after him.

Angele was walking with Becky and Justin. They stepped out of the cave and entered a spacious dark hall. The walls of the hall were decorated with silver patterns and badges.

There were long white dining tables in the center of the hall with candle stands with lighted candles on top of them, but the hall was big and the yellow light from the candles was dim.

There were people sitting around the tables, but none of them was moving. The people were wearing different outfits, their gender and age varied.

There were silver plates and silverware on the table, it almost looked like they were having dinner.

The hall was deadly silent and none of the wizards said a word after entering the hall.

Anchura snorted and tried to grab one of the long tables.

Nothing happened.

He was a bit surprised. Gentle yellow light appeared on his right palm.

CHI*

Two yellow light balls were released and hit the table hard.

The yellow light balls sank into the table without making any noise.

Birrrrin*

It sounded like there were bells being rung in the hall.

Suddenly, all the people around the tables started moving their arms. They grabbed the silverware and naked human bodies appeared on the dining tables.

The people sitting around the tables varied in gender and age, but their skin was clean and elastic.

They started cutting the naked bodies on the table and blood dripped down the table. The noise made by the forks and knives echoed in the hall.

Anchura's expression turned serious.

"Fiona, are these the Blood Tables?"

Fiona's expression turned serious as well, she nodded. "I think they are. Watch out everyone, stay away from the tables. The people sitting at the tables are monsters that look like human beings. There is nothing inside their bodies. They'll never stop eating because they want to fill up their bodies with blood and flesh."

"They are empty inside, huh? Let me give it a try." A female black robe stepped forward and released two red centipedes that had the size of a human's arm. The centipedes tried to bite the monster that was the closest to the team.

CHI*

With a noise, the two red centipedes went through the monster's body; it almost looked like they pierced through an illusion. The female black robe thought she was seeing illusions.

"Come back!" The female black robe asked the two centipedes to come back.

"Sorry." She looked at Fiona and nodded. It seemed like she was upset that her spell did nothing to the monster.

Fiona nodded. "Spells and physical attacks will not work, I assume. Be careful, everyone. We can pass through the tables without getting hurt. The Blood Tables won't attack for no reason."

"Sure, we'll do as you said," a wizard agreed.

The rest of them had nothing else to say, they followed after Fiona and started passing through the tables.

Angele was at the end of the team. His brow furrowed as he glanced at the monsters that were sitting around the tables.

The monsters sat around the table and kept sending human flesh into their mouths. Their bodies looked human, but there was no eyeballs in their eye sockets. They were moving like robots.

Blood spurted out of their eye sockets as they sent the flesh into their mouths and dripped down their chins.

Simon sent words through energy particles again. "Be careful, don't get too close to the tables. You'll be captured and turned into their food. You won't be able to talk or move when you're on the table, you will only be able to watch the monsters devour you. It's not about your power level, the power of the tables is similar to the realm power and it's nearly impossible for you to escape."

The wizards stayed alert after hearing these words, they were carefully traveling by the tables.

The gaps between the tables were only several meters wide. They could not hear the people chewing and the only noise was in the hall was made by the silverware.

"Wait!" a wizard suddenly shouted. "I know this man! It's Ash, I fought with him just several days ago!"

He pointed at a naked man that was being devoured on a table.

The wizards all looked at the table the male wizard pointed at. They looked at the man that was lying on the table, half of the man's body was already eaten by the monsters.

"Vella, are you sure? Ash is a captain of the Dark Wizard Tower, it's impossible for him to die here," a wizard with a beard interrupted.

"I'm sure he's Ash." The face of the wizard named Vella turned pale.

"I almost cut his left ear off during the battle. Take a look. The wound was left by my energy wave so it won't heal fast."

Angele looked at the dead man on the table, there was a red scar on his left ear and a pattern that looked like fish with a pair of wings on the back flashing by the scar.

"Wait, are the monsters eating the wizards sent by the Dark Wizard Tower?" Someone joined the conversation.

"It's possible," Simon spoke in a deep tone. "The Blood Lord is not known by all the wizards and the Blood Throne is a restricted area. This is a place from the tales and anything can happen."

A male wizard stepped forward and questioned, "Our goal is to make sure that the Dark Wizard Tower can't summon the Blood Lord. Should we retreat if all the wizards from the Dark Wizard are killed?"

"Yeah, let's head back to the cave." Fiona stopped the other wizards who were trying to join the organization.

The team started heading back to the cave quickly.

"Wait, the gap between the tables is getting smaller!" A wizard warned.

Angele heard these words and quickly checked the surroundings using the biochip.

"You're right, the tables are moving!"

"Are you sure? Maybe we didn't pay enough attention when we were trying to travel through them," Justin wondered.

"I think the tables are moving." The female wizard with Justin joined the conversation; she was speaking Metia. "Sorry, I was trying to find a way to speak Metia using the information Justin sent me."

"No worries. The problem is…" Angele pointed at the last four tables in front of the team.

The gaps between those tables were extremely small, they would have to lean to the side, but they would touch the monsters' bodies if they did that.

Two white robes stood in front of the gaps, they exchanged their opinions and tried to fly past the tables. The two wizards floated in the air with the help of energy particles.

However, they fell to the ground after just one second and did not move an inch in the air. The wizards on the floor caught them so they did not touch the monsters.

"It won't work. You can't fly over the Blood Tables. I've read about it in the books." Fiona scrunched her eyebrows and stepped forward.

She was at the front of the team when they left the cave, but she was at the end of the team at the moment.

"Create golems and ask the golems to throw us over. Can someone give it a try?" Fiona questioned as she glanced at the wizards.

"Let me do it." Anchura hit the ground with his palms but nothing happened.

"No, there's no stone element here." He stood up.

The other wizards tried to create golems as well. "No, nothing works. This place is so strange!"

"My teleport spells are not working."

"It seemed like our spells are restricted or weakened here." Simon found a black cane and informed the team. "I suggest that we don't cast any strong spells here or something unfortunate might happen. This place is designed by the Blood Lord after all."

The wizards calmed down after hearing those words.

Angele tried to summon the lion men, but nothing happened. It felt like he was expelled from the dimension fissure temporarily when he was in the hall.

"Let's walk through the gap one by one. Stay alert and walk fast!" Fiona advised.

There was nothing the wizards could do, so they had to follow Fiona's instruction.

Nothing happened. Justin passed through the gaps without any problem. Angele and Becky were the next.

Angele's brow furrowed, he looked at Becky. "You go first."

Becky snorted and stepped forward. She passed through the gap without any problem.

Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes. He did the calculations and walked to the gap.

He carefully leaned to the side so that he would not touch the back of the monsters. Suddenly, someone tapped on Angele's back. He turned his head around and saw one of the monsters was smiling at him as the blood dripped down its chin.

Angele jumped forward and rushed through the gaps quickly. He drew the scimitar and slashed backward without looking.

PA*

His scimitar went through an invisible force in the air and the noise sounded like he was hitting a wood plank.

"What happened?!"

"Something is trying to grab my hand!"

The wizards that had not passed the gaps yet all cast strong spells to block the invisible forces that were giving them trouble.

Chapter 497: Dangerous Operation (4)

"Ah!" Suddenly, a female wizard's right arm was pulled off by the invisible force. Her arm flew to one of the tables and was quickly consumed by the monsters.

However, there was no blood leaking out of the female wizard's wound.

"Move now! My arm will grow back!" the female wizard shouted.

The rest of the wizards quickly rushed through the gaps and returned to the team.

Angele turned his head around and gave the tables a cold look.

"Why me?" Angele had no idea why the incident happened. The other wizards had no problem passing through the gaps, but one of the monsters tried to communicate with him when it was his turn.

"Was it a coincidence?" Angele had never experienced something like this before.

"Don't worry, it's just a coincidence." Justin patted Angele's shoulder.

Monteria looked at Angele and her brow furrowed. "Green, your soul is stronger than other wizards', I think. From the information I collected from a ruin, I learned that those monsters would treat you differently based on the strength of your soul."

"My soul?" Angele understood the situation quickly. His soul was the combination of the negative emotions from about half a million of souls, purified by the woman he captured from Soul River Realm.

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Angele wondered.

"It's great if it's a bad thing," Becky mocked. "I'll be free if you're eaten by those monsters!"

Angele was not concerned, he observed the tables again but could not detect the invisible forces anymore. The wizards who were injured recovered quickly.

The team returned to the cave without any problem.

Fiona, Anchura, and Simon were having a discussion; it seemed like they reached the agreement. Simon looked at the wizards and started talking, "We're not sure if the Dark Wizard Tower has already initiated their plan successfully, so we think that we should keep exploring. If you don't want to proceed further, you can stay in this cave."

"We're here because the alliance promised us something and I don't think we should quit." The old man who activated the portal stepped forward. "We're all strong rank 4 wizards of the central continent, no one will stop here because of fear."

"You're right, but this is a dangerous place and we should plan it out." The female wizard who just lost an arm joined the conversation. Her arm already grew back, but was soaked in sticky liquid and looked disgusting. She was swinging her new arm when talking.

"We have a strong team here and there's no point for us to stop. Fiona, you're the strongest wizard here and you're known for your knowledge, what do you think?" a wizard questioned.

Angele just stood there and listened to Fiona, Anchura, and Simon's conversation. It seemed like they wanted to become the leaders of the team.

He joined the operation because he wanted to collect the souls of rank 4 wizards while destroying the trump card of the Dark Wizard Tower. The souls of rank 4 wizards could be turned into the masked men who could block fatal attacks for him. He lost one masked man during the fight against Becky and needed to create a new one as soon as possible. The souls of rank 4 wizards were perfect for his plan.

The wizards in the team were all strong. When a fight broke out between the wizards from the Dark Wizard Tower and the wizards in his team, it would be a life or death situation so he would have the chance to collect their souls.

However, he had not collected any soul yet. He scanned the dead wizards on the tables using the biochip and the dark mentality, however, those wizards' bodies were empty—there was no soul in them.

The monster tried to communicate with Angele because it noticed that Angele was trying to find the souls of the dead wizards.

Angele had collected the soul of a rank 4 wizard—the soul was so strong that it had the same energy as 2000 normal souls. He needed ten more souls of rank 4 wizards to meet the minimum requirement of the ritual.

'It's great that I asked Becky to prepare the rune circles so I can collect the souls. The final war between the alliance and the Dark Wizard Tower will start soon…' Angele thought.

'However, Prince Evil Dragon will not go all out before we can destroy this Blood Throne thing…'

Fiona, Anchura, and Simon finished their discussion. They walked around and tried to find another path in the cave.

A wizard took out a fist-sized beehive. Countless insects flew out and spread into the whole cave quickly.

Some wizards sat down with their legs crossed; it seemed like they were searching the cave using their force fields.

One of the wizards suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "I found a path here!"

Under the light of the golden ball, the wizard rushed to the right side of the cave and several wizards followed after him.

They quickly found a window that was sealed by ice on the wall.

"It's a window. We can leave the cave through the well and check the surroundings," a wizard suggested.

"Good idea."

Fiona remembered something. "We forgot the simplest thing. Let's head back to the well."

The team walked for about ten minutes and returned to the well.

The wizards stood in the light and raised their heads.

"Good! We can leave the cave through the well." The wizards flew into the air.

Angele grabbed Becky and floated in the air as well.

He flew for around 20 meters and left the well. He landed by the well without any problem.

The team realized that they were on top of a gray mountain in the midst of a dark stone plain.

Angele looked at the dark plain and saw an enormous green vine connected to the sky.

The green vine looked like the Sky Tree from the legends. The vine struck into the clouds, its surface covered with green leaves and colorful flowers.

The clouds were dark and he could see blue lightning in the sky.

Rumble*

The lightning was followed by loud thunder.

Angele glanced around and noticed that there was no building or human being around. The only things he could see were hills and the eye-catching green vine.

The team was about ten kilometers away from the vine and no animal could be found on the plain.

The wizards left the cave one after one. They wizards were all surprised by the vine. They remained silent and they observed it using their own methods.

Fiona, Anchura, and Simon did not say anything. They just stared at the vine and the wind was the only thing making noise in the area.

The wizards started moving several minutes later.

A wizard crouched, he grabbed some mud from the ground and tasted it.

"There's been no living being here for over 3000 years. I can't taste anything." His brow furrowed.

"There's no death energy in the air, so there shouldn't be any undead creature in the area," the other rank 4 wizard spoke with his eyes closed.

The wizards all had strong talent abilities and secret spells. They analyzed the situation of the plain.

There were only plants in this realm and the plain was so quiet that it felt a bit strange.

The team discussed for a while on top of the mountain and decided to head to the green vine.

Angele followed the team and listened to Justin's explanation.

"This is not a realm, but a dimension fissure that is very close to the wizard world. This is where the Blood Throne is located, but the place shares similar realm rules as the wizard world. Although I don't know what the vine does for the Blood Throne, it's not a decoration. This might be the entrance to the core of the throne," Justin spoke in a low voice.

"That vine looks ridiculous," Monteria interrupted. "I'm not surprised by its size, but by the energy wave it's releasing. Did you notice that? The vine is not alive. It might be an object that looked like a vine and I think it might be a building."

"Huh? You mean the plant is not releasing life energy?" Angele wondered.

"Yeah." Monteria nodded. "I was born in a forest and I'm very sensitive about the life energy of the plants. I noticed that something wasn't right when I saw the plant."

"Watch out!" someone in the front of the team shouted.

BAM BAM*

The wizards separated into two groups after the explosion and Angele could see the scene in front of them clearly.

Several human-shaped creatures were hugging a male wizard tightly, releasing dark energy waves.

BAM*

The wizard disappeared with the creatures with a noise.

"Residents of Ash! Stay away from them or you'll be dragged into an unknown realm!" Fiona shouted. Intense blue flames appeared on her shoulders and illuminated the Residents of Ash that were trying to capture another wizard.

The creatures were formed by gray ashes. They groaned and exploded, turning into a pile of ash and dropping to the ground.

Simon released some tiny purple flies that rushed into those creatures. The flies exploded and it seemed like the Residents of Ash mistook the flies for their targets

Countless Residents of Ash appeared on the ground and jumped to the wizards.

Angele, Justin, Becky, and Monteria gathered together.

"I can handle it!" Justin spoke in a low voice, he stepped forward and threw a triangular silver badge into the air.

The silver badge exploded and turned into a silver vortex, releasing countless translucent shadows. The shadows charged toward the Residents of Ash and hit them hard.

Strangely, the Residents of Ash ignored the shadows and did not take any damage.

"They're soulless." Justine's expression changed. He took something out of his pouch and threw it into the air. Also, a pattern that looked like a burning flame appeared on his face.

The item disappeared before Angele could see what it was.

WOO*

The closest Resident of Ash was ignited and slowly melted. The other Residents of Ash were also caught in the fire. They melted and turned into piles of black ash.

"I almost missed." Cold sweat appeared on Justin's forehead. He looked at Angele and Monteria. "Sorry, I had to use the Void Flame. It seemed like Residents of Ash had high resistance against energy attacks. The Void Flame was probably the most convenient thing I had."

Monteria scrunched her brow and nodded. "I didn't know you have Void Flame, Justine. It's great that you solved the problem, otherwise it would be an issue."

Chapter 498: Dangerous Operation (5)

Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu

The wizards did what they could to stop the Residents of Ash; however, three wizards were captured and teleported to an unknown realm.

Angele could hear the wizards breathing heavily, it seemed like they used a lot of mentality.

"Have some rest, everyone. I'm certain that our teammates won't die easily even if they were teleported to an unknown location." Fiona's expression turned serious. She created a chair using stones and sat down. She started meditating after closing her eyes.

Anchura glared at Simon and sat down with his legs crossed; he started meditating as well. Simon was not concerned, he walked around the team and checked the remains of the Residents of Ash.

Angele, Justin, Becky, and Monteria were sitting together. The formed a small group, Angele's eyes were still open, he was observing the wizards.

The wizards were staying with the people they knew. Some were meditating with defensive barriers around their bodies and some were having conversations. Angele noticed that one of the groups was quite eye-catching. They were wearing long gray robes, staying at the edge of the team.

There were three wizards on the ground and Anchura was right beside them. They blurred their faces using special techniques and were wearing long wizard hats.

Angele glanced at the group without being noticed and recorded the energy waves they were releasing. He thought that something was a bit off with that group; however, Fiona and Simon did not pay any attention to them.

"When will you release me?" Becky's voice came from the right. "You know how strong I was. I can offer you more help than the other wizards."

Angele looked at Becky. The woman was sitting on the ground, playing with black sand with her fingers.

"I didn't force you to stay with me. It's the power in your body that makes you follow me," Angele responded in a deep tone.

"Whatever!" Becky was a bit anxious. "You're right that my damn power is forcing me to follow you."

She looked at Angele and suddenly changed the topic. "What's the thing you asked me to eat?"

"Take a guess." Angele smiled. "It won't do anything bad to you."

"It won't do anything good to me, either." Becky snorted.

Angele was not concerned; although he could control Becky's body, the woman still had the concept gear, and she could say whatever she wanted. Angele just wanted to make sure that Becky could still activate the concept gear when necessary.

The woman sounded like she did not care, but she feared death with Angele's bloodline in her body and she would not say anything that might get her killed.

After about half an hour, the team started moving again. There were 17 wizards left.

They did not encounter any other problems, but it took them around two hours to reach the vine. It seemed like the road was longer than Angele had expected.

"Let me see if there's any trap." Fiona jumped to a large stone and opened her mouth several minutes later. "Make sure that we can observe the vine from different angles. I'll go to the front side, anyone else?" She looked at the wizards.

Simon stepped forward. "I'll go with you."

Two more wizards stepped forward and joined Fiona's group.

Anchura shook his head. "I'll take a different angle, who wants to join me?"

Four wizards stepped forward—three of them were gray robes, and two more wizards also joined Anchura after them. Anchura's group was the biggest, there were seven wizards in his team.

Angele, Justin, Becky, Monteria, and two more wizards had not expressed their opinion yet.

The two wizards Angele had never talked to were both female and they stepped forward when Angele was hesitating.

"We'll take the opposite side. It's fine, right?" The woman that talked was around 20 years old, wearing a long white robe with a belt on the waist. Her outfit was different from other female wizards' and Angele noticed that she was wearing tight silver armor inside the robe.

Her skin was elastic and it looked like she was from a noble family based on the way she talked.

Also, the woman braided her blond hair, which trailed over her shoulders. She had a pair of blue eyes and looked elegant with the long silky gloves she was wearing.

Justin and Monteria exchanged eye contact, they decided to join the woman's team.

Angele smiled and decided to join the woman's team as well.

The other woman was chubby and there was a pair of metal hammers on her back. It seemed like this woman respected the woman that was talking.

Fiona glanced at the six wizards. "Alright, we'll separate into three groups and check the vine using spells. Any questions? If not, let's start moving!"

Anchura snorted, it seemed like he did not like the fact that Simon joined Fiona's group. He walked to the left side of the vine with his group members.

"Let's go!"

Anchura's group disappeared by the edge of the vine.

"Let's get moving," Simon suggested. Fiona nodded and walked to the front side of the vine. "We'll take care of this area."

One of the male wizards in Fiona's team hesitated for a second and walked to Angele.

He was staring at the noble woman.

"Aria, I thought you would…" He tried to ask a question.

"I changed my mind," the woman named Aria interrupted. "Do you want to join my group of Fiona's group?"

"Aria, we had a plan, right? You said that…" The man noticed that Aria was getting impatient before finishing speaking.

"Fine… I'll join your group." There was a bitter smile on his face. "I'll do anything for you."

"No one forced you to join my group."

The man followed Aria, but kept a distance from her.

The man also dressed like he was from a noble family, it seemed like he knew Aria.

"Carol and the other wizard were teleported by Residents of Ash, but she had a one-time portal and they can teleport back to us. It'll take her around half a day to prepare the portal so we should probably wait for them," the man spoke in a low voice; however, it seemed like he was not trying to hide the contents of the conversation.

"A one-time portal? That's a rare item." Justin stepped forward and joined the conversation.

"You can only find the portal in the Golden Flower Empire of the east. Are you from Golden Flower Empire? Oh, sorry, I'm not trying to interrupt your conversation."

He clapped his hands and leaned to the left. It seemed like he was trying to show his respect.

The man and the two female wizards did the same thing.

"You're right. We're the royal wizards of the Golden Flower Empire."

"Let me introduce ourselves. My name is Miray and this is Aria, we're both nobles of the Golden Flower Empire." The man smiled, but he did not introduce the other female wizard to Justin.

Justin introduced himself and Monteria.

"This is Master Green from Elemental Hand." He then pointed at Angele.

"You can just call me Green." Angele smiled and stepped forward. "This is my servant." He pointed at Becky.

There was a polite and gentle smile on Miray's face. "Alright, it's great to meet you. We need to wait for our friends, but I'm not sure if…"

"I'm fine with that." Angele shrugged. "The mission will be easier if we have more people in the group."

"That's right. We don't mind waiting for a bit." Justin nodded after he talked to Monteria. "But we can go to the vine and check the situation first."

"Fine…" Aria was impatient. She started moving to the vine right away.

The vine was more than 30 meters wide and its body was completely green. Fiona and Anchura's groups already disappeared. It seemed like they activated a stealth technique and started climbing the vine.

Aria walked to the right side of the vine and grabbed a leaf.

"Huh?"

"What happened?" The rest of the group approached the vine as well.

Miray walked to Aria and whispered something to her ear. It seemed like they were excited about something they found.

Angele, Justin, Becky, and Monteria kept a distance from Aria and Miray.

"Let's go take a look too," Justin suggested.

Angele nodded, but he did not say anything. He walked to the vine with Becky, Monteria, and Justin.

He grabbed a green leaf carefully as well.

The leaf was hard and inelastic.

Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes and his brow furrowed. He released the leaf and tried to burn it using some dark-red flames.

However, nothing happened.

Angele waved his hand slightly and the color of the flames changed from dark-red to gold gradually.

The temperature of the flames was so high that Angele's body almost blurred.

Justin and Monteria were testing the leaves and the branches using their own methods. They were surprised by the golden flames released by Angele and stepped away.

Miray looked at Angele and said, "It's weaker than the Void Flame but the strength of his flame was incredible,"

Angele did not say anything, the flames slowly disappeared from his hand and he stared at the leaf with his brow furrowed.

The leaf and the branch that connected to it were not damaged at all. He could not even find any burnt mark on the leaf.

He glanced at the other wizards. The golden flames were created using pure Fire energy particles and had no special effects. Most of the strong wizards could accomplish that.

However, Angele released more energy particles than he needed intentionally. After the energy particles contacted the other wizards' bodies, he could use the biochip to analyze their power levels.

Justin and Monteria had the same power level as Viss.

Miray had the same power level as Justin; however, Aria and the other female wizard were mid-level rank 4 wizards. They were much weaker than top-level wizards like Justin and Monteria.

Angele did not take their trump cards into consideration as he had no idea what they were carrying.

He lowered his hand and took one step back. "It's weird. The vine's resistance is ridiculously high."

The other wizards all did their tests and they all had serious expressions on the faces.

Monteria was holding a purple dagger and still trying to engrave something onto the surface of the vine.

"Wait a minute, I'm still working on the fire. My dagger was infused with mixed dragon blood and it can deal poison damage," she explained in Metia.

She kept engraving on the surface of the vine, but nothing happened.

Monteria remained calm. She put the purple dagger away and took out a wavy red dagger with a golden handle from the pouch. She started engraving on the vine again.

"This one is infused with 1263 types of spices using a special technique. Also, it was kept in a volcano frog's body for around 90 years. My strength will be greatly increased when I'm holding the dagger in my hand."

The wizards around were surprised after hearing these words. The golden dagger had to be a rare weapon made of special materials.

CHI*

Green dust dropped to the ground—the dagger successfully scratched the surface of the vine.

"Finally. My strength is equal to the strength of 30 adult men combined with the dagger's buff." Monteria collected the dust using a small test tube and put it into her pouch.

Her pouch was also made with special material. The pouch was half a meter long, its size was relatively large and it could hold a lot of items.

"The strength of 30 adult men? If you can utilize the power of the dagger, you'll have a similar strength level of a rank 4 wizard with body modification spells," Aria interrupted.

Angele stepped forward, he was interested in the dagger. "I modified my body and I also have the strength of 30 adult men, but the only thing you need is a dagger. Is there a chance that you can sell the dagger to me? I'm interested."

He was not completely lying, Angele's body was strengthened due to the true form; however, in the wizard world, his strength was capped at around 30 points.

When stamina was not taken into the count, the buff of the dagger helped Monteria reach the same strength level as Angele, but the other mid-level rank 4 wizards that had similar strength levels with body modification techniques might be slightly stronger than Angele or Monteria.

"Sorry, I don't think I'll ever sell it, and I assume your development is not focused on the strength." Monteria smiled. "I've seen a rank 4 wizard that focused on strength smash the ground using his fist. He had the strength of 45 adult men."

Angele smiled but did not respond.

"Let's make a campfire and study the vine. We'll be climbing for a while if we want to reach the top." Justin pointed at the ground and created a ball of fire. Dried branches appeared under the fireball and became fuel for the campfire.

Justin stopped controlling the fireball and sat down by the campfire.

They remained silent after testing the vine. They sat around the campfire and started meditating.

Angele noticed that Miray and Aria looked concerned when he said he had the strength of 30 adult males. It seemed like they thought Angele was lying.

Angele sat by the campfire and made it look like that he was meditating.

'Zero, check my current condition.'

'Analyzing… Attributes slightly increased… Adjusting…'

'Completed. Here are your current attributes.'

'Angele Fenrir Rio: Strength 32.2, Agility 11.5, Stamina 28.0, Mentality 344.8, Mana 310.2. Gene limit not reached. Status: Unknown.'

'So, my strength increased by 2, but my agility is still the same. My mentality is now over 300, which means Nightmare Realm is getting closer. I have the heat aura but I don't have the realm power. If the realm power of Nightmare Realm can handle the realm power of the wizard world, my stamina and strength will increase by at least 20 points,' Angele thought. 'My physical power will be the same as a strong rank 4 wizard even with the realm power and the heat aura. My high attributes are no longer an advantage in battles against top-level rank 4 wizards.

'If I can infuse my body with light… I can only do it twice before I faint even with my high mentality. My right arm will be turned into the light form and I can hit one target within 100 meters. However, if my opponents underestimate my power, I'll be able to eliminate two strong enemies. Also, I have Becky…'

With the trump cards, Angele had the same power level as Fiona and was slightly weaker than Becky when he fought with her. Becky attacked Angele's illusion because she failed to calm down during the battle. The woman would not be captured so easily under normal circumstances.

If Angele let Becky control her own body, she would have the same power level as Fiona, but some of her abilities would still be restricted.

'In conclusion, Aria is as strong as me. Without the realm power and trump cards, I'm just a mid-level rank 4 wizard,' Angele thought.

The wizards sat around the campfire and remained silent. The fire was the only thing making noise. There was green smoke rising into the air.

Suddenly, an intense fragrance that smelled like grapes permeated the air.

The wizards all looked at the source of the fragrance.

Aria was pouring some translucent liquid on her palm from a purple bottle. Her brow furrowed as she noticed that the wizards were staring at her.

"It's just perfume, what's the problem?"

"Nothing." Miray smiled and closed his eyes again.

The other also closed their eyes.

It was getting dark outside and the fire was almost extinguished.

Angele opened his eyes and picked up a dried branch, he started poking the campfire.

Suddenly, he noticed that something was off.

The smoke from the fire was no longer rising to the air, it turned into a small ball above the campfire.

Roar*

The smoke ball turned into the head of a wolf and tried to bite Angele's neck.

The wolf head was about one meter wide, it charged to Angele but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

BAM*

Angele's face turned pale, he blocked the attack but was still blown away by the impact.

The wolf head decided to attack other wizards after its attack was blocked.

Three enormous shadows appeared in the sky, each about ten meters long. The shadows were brightened up by the light from the fire and Angele noticed that the shadows were actually three black dragons.

The mouths of the dragons looked like tentacles of octopuses, they were trying to grab the wizards using their tentacles.

Angele had no time to check other wizards' condition, he took a deep breath as one of the dragons charged at him.

The wings and the mouth of the dragon filled up Angele's sight.

"Becky!" he shouted and a white shadow appeared in front of him, charging toward the octopus dragon.

BAM*

The white shadow hit the dragon's head; however, it seemed like there was an invisible barrier between the two and they both hesitated.

Angele got the chance and disappeared into a ball of fire. He decided to keep some distance from the dragon.

CHI*

It sounded like clothes being ripped apart. Becky's left arm was bitten off by the dragon and swallowed right away.

The woman's eyes rolled up and she fainted.

Angele quickly caught the woman. He noticed that her body was a mess and her white armor was soaked in blood.

He shook his head as he looked at the woman who fainted.

"Sorry, I had no choice," he muttered. Angele looked at the octopus dragon, it seemed like the dragon lost its balance after the impact.

"It's great that I had a servant," he said. Angele thought he made a right decision.

Becky slowly woke up, she did not hear Angele's apology but she heard the second sentence Angele said. She was enraged by his words.

They had no time to argue as the dragon charged at them again. Angele's body was restricted by an invisible force field as the humongous shadow was right above his head.

"Becky! Now!" Angele shouted and used Becky's body to block the force field.

Becky noticed that the disgusting tentacles were in front of her face again after she woke up.

"I'll kill you sooner or later!" she shouted like crazy.

Angele quickly escaped the force field and raised his right hand. A large stone pillar penetrated the dragon's stomach and blew the dragon away.

He chanted the incantation and created two meters tall lava ball when the dragon was recovering.

The cracks on the surface of the lava ball were filled up with golden lava, its temperature extremely high.

The area around Angele was smoking and the stones all turned red. The smaller stones pieces exploded and turned into dust.

"Go now." Angele pushed the lava ball forward.

WOO*

The lava ball disappeared into the air.

BOOM*

Red light struck into the air as the ball exploded. However, the dragon was not eliminated by the explosion. The dragon's skin was slightly damaged and Angele could see the burnt marks on it.

'The lava ball is upgraded with my rank 4 power but it's only good for an area attack.' Angele's brow furrowed, he noticed that a similar force field appeared on the left.

"Becky!"

The woman blocked the force field again, but her injured body could barely handle the impact. She was blown away again.

Justin witnessed the scene and his face twitched. It seemed like he felt sorry for what Angele did to Becky.

"Left!" Angele shouted again.

The woman appeared on his left again but she was blown away right away, leaving a large hole on the ground.

WOO*

Angele heard that the dragon that attacked Aria was groaning.

That dragon's wings were damaged. It flew into the air and disappeared into the sky.

The other two dragons retreated as well after the first one disappeared.

Justin finally finished his incantation, it took him around eight seconds to finish the preparations with Monteria protecting him.

His ears increased in length and turned red. Opening his mouth, he released a ray of red light, striking a dragon's tail.

CHI*

Roar*

The dragon groaned again and increased its speed.

The red ray returned into Justin's mouth and his ears returned to normal.

BAM*

Part of the dragon's tail fell to the ground and gray smoke splashed in the air. The tail looked like a large version of a lizard's tail and was still twitching.

Angele looked at the other wizards. Becky and Angele had trouble fighting the dragon, but the other wizards all successfully defeated the other dragons.

Miray did most of the work as there were still strong energy waves surrounding his hands. The golden electric sparks were slowly disappearing from his palms.

Justin and Monteria revealed their power. They were having a short conversation regarding the battle, it seemed like they were trying to improve their teamwork.

Angele and Becky were surprised by the attack so he had no time to cast spells. Also, Becky could not control her body, so she failed to react as well.

Angele tried his best to dodge the dragon's attacks and the whole thing ended before he did anything.

Without the heat aura, he had the power level of a mid-level rank 4 wizard, but with the aura and his trump cards, he would be a top-level rank 4 wizard. However, Angele felt that someone was observing the team from the shadows, and he decided not to reveal his true power.

As he expected, no one was observing them anymore after the ambush.

"What was that?"

"Octopus dragons. The name fits their appearance, right?" Justin answered Aria's question.

They walked to the damaged dragon tail and observed it carefully. The tail was about two meters long and still twitching.

Justin and Monteria crouched, they tried to cut the tail into pieces. Aria, Miray, and the other female wizard were talking on the side.

Angele checked the area on his left and walked to Becky, who was lying by the campfire.

"Are you alright?" He crouched and patted Becky's face.

The woman turned her head around as she did not want to see Angele's face.

Angele shrugged, stood up, and checked Becky's wounds. The wounds were healing quickly, it would take her about ten minutes to completely recover.

WOO*

Red light suddenly flashed on his right arm.

Angele raised his hand and checked the five scorpion-shaped patterns on his arm. Two of the patterns were glowing.

'Two of the signs are completed.' He lowered his hand.

The five scorpion patterns represent the five signs of the lords. Each of the signs could absorb 6000 souls and the scorpion pattern would glow when the sign was full.

Two of the signs were glowing, which meant that he had collected 12000 souls.

'It means the war is intense.' He pressed on the glowing patterns and the glow quickly disappeared.

The team sat down and rested for a while. They walked to the right side of the vine when the sun rose.

The surface of the vine was bumpy and it looked like a cracked stone pillar.

Miray, Aria, and the female wizard floated in the air. They jumped up using the branches as stairs.

Justin and Monteria decided to fly using energy particles.

Angele exchanged eye contact with Becky. Becky grabbed a branch and jumped up. Angele followed after her.

"Watch out for the wind. The wind is strange here!" Justin warned.

Angele grabbed a green branch and was about to jump up. However, the chilling wind was brushing over his body and it felt like being stabbed by daggers.

Also, he noticed that there were translucent human shadows mixed in the wind. The shadows rotated around Angele; they were the source of the cold air here.

"Hurry!" Angele shouted and started climbing at full speed. His body was surrounded by red glow, which increased the temperature around him.

It was a rank 2 spell named High-Temperature Light. The heat from the light drove away the shadows and Angele finally caught up with the other wizards.

The team disappeared into the clouds that surrounded the vine slowly.

Several minutes later.

The campfire had already been extinguished but it was still smoking. The smoke slowly turned into a gray-robed man on the side.

The gray robe raised his head and looked at the vine.

"They're all climbing up the vine," he spoke in a low voice. "They separated into three groups and started climbing at different time. We can take them out one by one."

"No." A middle-aged woman's voice echoed in the air. "We can attack them when they reach the top. They have more wizards than us. Fiona, Anchura, and Simon are the biggest threats."

The man's brow furrowed. "If the monsters are still here, we'll have a much easier time."

"It's too late. Does the leader have a plan for us?" the woman questioned.

The gray robe took out a jade stone that had the shape of a crescent moon. He threw the stone forward and it exploded, creating a light screen in the front.

On the screen, there was a bald man staring at the gray robe with a blank expression on the face.

"What happened? Is there a problem? I'm busy right now. Go straight to the point."

"I understand." The man created a blue barrier to block the sound and opened his mouth. "Duke, we tested our enemy and I'm afraid that we're not strong enough to take them out. Do you think we can activate that item?"

"You need to accomplish the mission, you should figure out if you should activate the item or not by yourself. I'll give you the right to do that," the bald man responded in a deep tone. A middle-aged woman wearing a black military suit interrupted before he could say anything else.

"Wait." The bald man waved his hand.

"Master, the commander of the Wooden Dragon Legion is ready. You just need to give the order."

The bald man looked at the woman and asked, "How are the dark knights?"

"They are having trouble. If the intel is correct, the guardians of Sky Lord have already destroyed their formation," the woman responded.

The bald man thought for a while and ordered, "Ask Hocus Legion to assist the dark knights; where is Alice now?"

"It'll take her two days to reach the battlefield."

The bald man's brow furrowed, it seemed like he was trying to figure out a plan, but realized that the gray robe was still waiting for his orders.

"Elite Team One's mission is to eliminate as many alliance elites as possible. You should at least eliminate their strongest wizards and activate the Blood Throne through the blood ritual so our main force will have nothing to worry about."

"Yes, Master." The gray robe nodded.

"Alright then. Don't disappoint the empire." The bald man disappeared from the light screen.

The jade stone returned to its normal shape and returned to the gray robe's hand.

He put the stone into his pouch and spoke with a low voice, "We can complete the mission without any problem with the right the Duke gave us. We can ask someone strong for help when necessary and we don't have to activate the item."

"You're right. This is the major goal of Elite Team One. I wonder if Elite Team Two and Elite Team Three are doing well. We'll win the war easily if everything is going well," the middle-aged woman spoke.

The gray robe smiled. "Alice is almost here. She and her servant will put an end to this war. We will conquer the entire central continent!"

"True." The woman chuckled. "I'll go prepare for the operation."

"Sure, I'll help you." The gray robe turned around and disappeared into green smoke.

Three days later.

The golden light of the morning sun illuminated the surface of the vine.

The vine looked like branches that were being tied up; there were gaps between each of the branches.

Three small black dots were climbing up the vine. Each of the dots was actually several human beings that were trying their best to climb the vine.

The third black dot was Angele and Becky. Angele was wearing a black robe and Becky was still in her white armor.

Angele grabbed a green branch above his head and inhaled deeply. He raised his head and noticed that he still could not see the top of the vine.

He then looked down and saw a sea of white clouds. The white clouds looked like balls of cotton that were connected to each other.

Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes.

"We already climbed over 10000 meters…" he said with his brow furrowed.

"Let's find a place and have some rest." Aria sounded tired. "I need to prepare a rune circle. They are ready and they'll teleport to us."

"Sure," Justin agreed.

Angele agreed with their decision as well.

They started moving toward each other and found a large branch on the vine. The branch looked like a platform that could fit more than ten people.

Aria and the other wizards jumped toward the branch and landed on the platform. They started preparing a rune circle that would help weaken the chilling wind.

Angele and Becky jumped onto the platform as well.

Justin took off his hood and removed the ice shards from his long robe. "The higher we climb, the stronger the wind. The temperature is also much lower than before," he said while cleaning his robe.

"Well, it's common in the sky." Angele chuckled. "The problem is the wind elementals. Wind and temperature are nothing when compared to them."

"Wind elementals…" Justin's expression changed as he heard these words. "You're right, they'll stop us from climbing if we want to cast a spell or check the surroundings under these circumstances… They might even drag us down the vine."

"The first several wind elementals we encountered were weak, however, the wind elementals we met last night were strong." Miray joined the conversation. Aria and the other female wizard were still drawing runes.

"The stronger the wind elementals, the lower the temperature will be."

"Well, their appearance also changed. They looked like children at first, but they look like muscular men now…" Aria sounded disappointed.

"Damn! Again…" Miray's expression turned serious and he released countless white strings that flew to the branches around. His body was stabilized by the strings.

Angele had no time to check on others. He grabbed an arm-sized branch using one hand and grabbed Becky's arm using the other. He heard people screaming and laughing when he stood steady in the wind.

A group of muscular men with translucent bodies charged at the team. They were flying at full speed while shouting and laughing.

BAM*

A muscular wind elemental passed by Angele and hit the left side of his body.

BAM BAM BAM*

Becky and Angele were hit multiple times by the wind elementals.

The wind elementals were too weak to damage the wizards' bodies, but Angele could feel the chill that was trying to invade his body.

Another group of wind elementals appeared and charged at the team at full speed. However, this group looked a bit different, their bodies were almost solid.

"They're here again! Watch out!" someone shouted.

Angele had no time to respond; his expression turned serious as he looked at those wind elementals.

"Damn, they are not wind elementals, they are wind demons!" Justin shouted anxiously. "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

The wizards' faces all turned paler hearing the word.

"I've only heard about wind demons from the tales!" Aria sounded nervous.

"Penetration! Penetration! Penetration! Penetration!" There were strange expressions on the wind demons' faces. They charged toward the wizards as they yelled, "We'll penetrate all the holes!"

Reminder: the wind demons all looked like adult men with muscular bodies.

"Ah!" Monteria blushed and screamed. She quickly put her hand on her butt. She stared at the wind demon that was rotating around her.

The wind demon was chuckling and shouting, its shape shifting. The wind demon looked like a muscular man the last second, but it could turn itself into wind the next second.

"I hate the ancient wizards who created the wind demons!" Aria was also screaming.

Angele dragged Becky to the side and tried to fight off the wind demons that were charging at them using his fists.

"Wind elementals have high resistance, but you can handle the wind demons using spells!" he advised.

The wizards all put up defensive spells or barriers, however, the wind demons were attacking them from strange angles. With the strong chilling wind blowing over their faces, the wizards almost forgot that the wind demons were creations of human beings and their magic resistance was much lower than the wind elementals'.

The wizards were being chased around by the wind demons when they heard Angele's words. Miray was no longer behaving like an elegant noble. He covered his butt with both hands and stayed behind the blue energy barrier he created, checking the surroundings constantly.

"Let me do it!" Monteria was enraged, she took out a hexagonal crystal from her pouch. The crystal had the size of a fist; she threw it at the wind demons.

BAM*

A large ball of black clouds exploded and surrounded the wizards.

"Dark Cloud Ancestor! Heed my call!" Monteria was shouting like crazy.

The dark clouds gathered and formed a giant that was over 30 meters tall. Angele could only see the upper body of the cloud giant—the bottom half of his body was completely covered by the clouds.

Monteria pointed at the wind demons.

"Dark Cloud Ancestor! Kill those wind demons!"

"Yes!" Dark Cloud Ancestor answered and tried to grab the wind demons.

"Run!"

"Retreat!"

The wind demons were moving at full speed, they disappeared from the area within seconds.

The wizards were a bit speechless.

"That speed…" Angele's head ached. He would only be able to catch the wind demons when he was in the light form. According to the information collected by the biochip, the wind demons were traveling at 10000 meters per second.

The wind weakened as the wind demons left.

Monteria's eyes were red and there were tears in her eyes. The Dark Cloud Ancestor was still in the sky, waiting for her next order.

"Those creatures… Damn… They're so disrespectful!" Aria walked to Monteria and hugged her. "They already left, calm down."

There was a bitter smile on Justin's face. "I didn't expect you to summon Dark Cloud Ancestor here... I would cast a strong spell too in that situation…" He hated the wind demons as well.

"Who created those sick wind demons? Why did they do that?" Miray was still covering his butt with hands. "I'd cast a strong damage spell if Monteria didn't summon Dark Cloud Ancestor." He looked at the other female wizard in the team, but it seemed like the woman was not concerned.

Miray then looked at Justin and Angele.

"Let me explain." Angele released Becky's hand; the woman was so scared that her face turned white.

"I heard wind demons were created by an ancient wizard named Ohalla in a lab accident. Ohalla was an evil wizard, he was trying to create a strong being using the evil thoughts of humans. Sadly, he failed the experiment."

"Which means, the wind demons are wind elementals with the evil thoughts of human beings?" Aria was speechless.

"Well, if you think about it in a different way, he succeeded." Angele shrugged. "Wind demons are always horny, but they are void creatures and can block mid-level spells easily. Also, they move so fast that they can't be captured. If we can take control of the wind demons and equip them with weapons, they'll become the best assassins in this world."

"Well, you need to find a way to control them first," Justin interrupted. "I also read about the wind demons, but they're just trouble to me."

"There's a way to stop the wind demons," Angele continued and the wizards all looked at him.

"What?" Monteria questioned, she was still blushing and it seemed like she really wanted to kill the wind demons.

"A force field that is extremely strong. Wind demons will be in trouble if a force field could slow them down. Their bodies and souls are pure wind energy. Wind energy needs to keep moving, the wind demons will lose the ability to move or think if the wind stops. In other words, you can kill them using force fields that can slow them down or stop them from moving," Angele explained.

"You know a lot," Miray praised. "I've never read about the information you mentioned, even in the royal library."

"You're weak, but you do know a lot." Aria was not being polite. "We all know a force field or two that can slow them down, but how strong does the force field need to be?"

"In terms of radiation energy, your energy level needs to be around 1000 degrees," Angele answered.

"A force field with 1000 degrees of radiation energy? We're not talking about Legacy Magic Circle, right?" Aria rolled her eyes.

The incident made the team grow closer and the wizards engaged in more short conversations. People would show their true thoughts during a crisis and they had a much easier time communicating with each other.

Dark Cloud Ancestor would last for three days, so they could rest without worrying about anything.

Aria was still preparing for the portal, she needed to set up the coordinates for her friends.

In the afternoon, the wizards had some snacks and desserts. Aria decided to prepare the coordinates after the food break.

Aria and Miray stood in the center of the rune circle. They stood opposite each other and closed their eyes with a golden circle in hand.

They started chanting the incantation using a language that Angele had never heard of, however, he could understand what they were saying. It was a strange feeling.

"The lord is here. Gather. Void!" The golden circle in their hand started glowing.

The golden light was getting more and more intense. The wizards could barely keep their eyes open.

Seconds later, the light disappeared and two more white robes appeared in the circle. It was a man and a woman; they were also holding a golden circle in hand.

"Thanks," the female white robe spoke in a deep tone, she sounded like a leader of a group.

They turned around and Angele glanced at them.

The woman had an attractive body, she was wearing a ponytail. There was a cold expression on her average-looking face.

The man had a pretty face and clear skin. It almost looked like he was made of jade. The man was tall and looked depressed for some reason.

The two white robes noticed the Dark Cloud Ancestor. Justin and Monteria started talking to them, but Angele and Becky just stayed on the side. They were still resting.

The team checked their equipment and started climbing again. Their speed increased after the two white robes joined them. Dark Cloud Ancestor made sure that no wind elemental or wind demon approached.

Two days later, they finally reached the top of the vine. It was a spacious platform.

The platform was smooth like a large piece of emerald and there was a vase-shaped black stone pillar that was about two meters tall in its center.

Fiona and Anchura's groups were already there, but they found a group of strangers on the opposite side. It was a group of strong wizards wearing long black robes with golden edges. They were confronting Fiona and Simon.

Angele could detect the remaining energy waves in the air, it seemed like they already had a battle.

Fiona's expression loosened after she saw Angele's team. "Attack them! They're elites of the Dark Wizard Tower."

Monteria gave an order Dark Cloud Ancestor and attacked the wizards of the Dark Wizard Tower. The rest of the team also cast spells, there were colorful light rays flashing in the air.

Black strings, red clouds, ice snakes, and other strange things were flying at the members of Dark Wizard Tower. The exploding energy particles turned the platform into a mess and the wind was extremely strong.

Fiona and the other wizards started attacking as well. It seemed like they were following someone's command. They released several blue plates—ice wolves jumped out of them, charging at the enemies. More than 30 ice wolves appeared on the platform within seconds.

The ice wolves could release ice rays through their mouths and there were ice flames burning on their claws. Their enemies would freeze if they were attacked by the ice flames.

Angele activated the stealth technique and stepped back with Becky. He released several rank 2 lion men, but he was glancing around the platform. It seemed like he was looking for something.

The strong wizards of the Dark Wizard Tower stepped forward and tried to handle the attack. Raising their left arms, they blocked all the spells using the black plates they created. Some of them summoned black bats and eagles to defend against the ice wolves.

Fiona and several other wizards flew into the air, they were trying to stop the strong wizards of the Dark Wizard Tower. They were not casting spells with long incantations and would stop if the opponents' spells were about to be completed. It seemed like they knew how to counter each other's spells.

The fight between strong wizards looked more peaceful than the wizards on the ground.

Angele and Becky were still hiding by the edge of the platform. Angele released several weak lava balls and it looked like they were fighting two black eagles.

There was no point for Angele to reveal his true power at the moment. Their team was winning the battle with the buffed Dark Cloud Ancestor. The wizards of the Dark Wizard Tower had to cast multiple defensive spells to handle the attacks of the cloud giant.

Also, there were more wizards on Angele's side and Angele assumed that they would win the battle without any problem.

"Just give up! You'll lose sooner or later!" Simon shouted in the sky.

"Naive!" A high-pitched voice echoed in the sky. "Help us now! What're you waiting for?"

An enormous white cross flashed in the sky; the tip of the cross stabbed into Simon's back.

Anchura sneered and lowered his hand. "I've been waiting for this moment."

The wizards from the alliance were surprised by what Anchura did. The wizards of the Dark Wizard Tower caught the chance and injured several of their opponents.

Simon's head was pierced by a ray of red light and he fell to the ground.

Anchura was still attacking the wizards from the alliance. He created another white cross in his hand and aimed at Fiona, who was still fighting. The black robes around Anchura all charged at the wizards from the alliance, their fingernails covered in red glow.

Angele was also a bit surprised, he knew that members of the Dark Wizard Tower were waiting for something to happen, but he did not expect to see Anchura betray the alliance.

"Well, it's not going well, I guess…" Becky laughed.

"You'll probably die here," she said and jumped forward, blocking an attack from the eagle.

Angele did not respond to her words, he took out some blue crystals and held them in his hand. He started moving on the edge of the platform.

He glanced at other wizards in his team and noticed that they were also trying to hide. The battlefield was in chaos and strong wizards were not paying attention to the weak wizards.

"Watch out!" Fiona suddenly shouted in the sky, she threw her book into the air and pages quickly fell off the book, surrounding her in the center. Fiona disappeared into the sky after the pages left her body.

Suddenly, all sounds disappeared from the platform. The wolves, the explosions, and the spells were no longer making any noise.

Angele noticed the change immediately on the edge of the platform; after the noise disappeared, he heard some gentle music that sounded like it was from a harp echoing in the sky.

The music was slow and gentle, it was making people sleepy.

Angele looked at Justin, Miray, and Monteria, they all looked sleepy. It seemed like Aria did not notice the change and already fell asleep.

The woman with a ponytail was trying to help Aria. She stood in front of her and blocked several wizards using a bronze shield, shooting golden daggers at the enemies.

"It's Eternal Dream!" Justin shouted at Angele, but the only thing the latter could hear was the music. He had to observe Justin's mouth carefully to figure out what he was saying.

'Eternal Dream…' Angele's expression turned serious. The music would slow down the energy movement and make every living being in the effective range fell asleep.

Angele looked at the wizards in Fiona's team, they were eliminating their enemies one by one. They were probably ready for the Eternal Dream since none of them looked sleepy.

The wizards of the Dark Wizard Tower were finished off quickly, only six of them were left after about ten seconds.

Some of the wizards from the alliance also died. Only three wizards were still alive in Fiona's team.

Angele noticed that he could no longer hide. Members of his group were hiding most of the time and none of them was injured. He suddenly realized that he had to do something.

A red balloon appeared at where Fiona was at when Angele was still thinking. The balloon had the size of a fist when it appeared, but its size was increasing quickly. The balloon had the size of a human's head several seconds later.

BOOM*

The balloon exploded and a white doll with blond hair appeared. The doll was moving its neck and arms slowly, it looked like a robot that needed oiling.

Angele noticed that the doll's lips were moving, it seemed like the doll was trying to talk, but no one could hear it in the Eternal Dream.

The doll's expression changed, it looked a bit impatient. The doll opened its mouth and started screaming.

The doll's voice was getting louder and louder in the music. It sounded like a girl that was screaming in a high-pitched tone.

"Ah!"

Finally, the sound returned to the platform after the doll's voice got louder than the Eternal Dream.

"You can't escape from Alice!" The doll stopped screaming and a mysterious smile appeared on its face.

Fiona reappeared in the sky and her face turned pale. She stared at the doll with a surprised look on the face. It seemed like she was wondering how the doll broke the Eternal Dream.

"Retreat!" she suddenly shouted and disappeared into a ball of white smoke.

Angele had no time to check on the others. He turned around and disappeared into flames as well.

A ball of flames appeared in the sky and Angele recreated his body. He floated in the air. White light flashed beside him and Becky appeared.

Angele saw some purple light flash in the sky—it was the woman with a ponytail; she helped Aria and Miray escape. The five wizards exchanged eye contact, but no one said a word. They all started flying in the opposite direction of the vine.

The white clouds below them looked like cotton, but none of the wizards was trying to fly into the clouds.

On top of the vine.

Alice landed on the platform slowly and the wizards of the Dark Wizard Tower quickly walked to her.

"Eliminate all the wizards that escaped the platform. They must die here! I'll take care of the woman, she has the Eternal Dream and there'll be nothing you can do."

Balls of gray smoke landed on the platform, turning into three human beings.

"Master, sorry, we're late."

Alice shook her head. "I wouldn't reveal myself if they didn't have the Eternal Dream. Our members died because of me."

She thought for a while and continued, "Fiona is a problem, but I think there's another strong wizard that was trying to hide his power. Any volunteers?"

"I'll go." One of the men from the smoke stepped forward.

"Be careful, that one should have the same power level as Fiona, I think he's also carrying secret items. The alliance didn't put random people into their elite team, that man must be an important member to them," Alice warned.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of him," the smoke man responded.

Alice looked at Anchura as she said, "Good. Who'll track the weak ones down? I think they teleported to the area above the clouds."

"My pleasure." Anchura smiled, he almost sounded like a different person in front of Alice. "It's a pity that I can't eliminate Fiona by myself."

"You can have her leg if you're fast." One of the wizards chuckled.

"That'd be great."

"Alright." Alice clapped her hands. "Let's move everyone. Just use the portal we built."

"Yes, Master."

CHI CHI*

The wizards of Dark Wizard Tower all disappeared from the platform.

Golden sunlight illuminated the sea of white clouds.

There were five small dots flying over the clouds. They looked like five flies that were flying over a peaceful sea.

Angele leaned forward, he was flying at full speed with red glow surrounding his body.

"How's the situation?" A female voice echoed in his ears.

"Good, I'm not injured," Angele responded using energy particles. "What about you? Is Aria alright?"

The woman with a ponytail scrunched her brow. "I fed her the pearl potion and she should be waking up soon, but…" Her sight fell upon Miray.

The upper half of Miray's body was soaked in blood, it seemed like he was severely injured. The white armor on his body was glowing; it seemed like he was being healed by the armor.

Miray noticed that Angele was looking at him and smiled. "I was backstabbed by a wizard, but my core is not injured."

"It's great that you're doing fine. The problem is how we return to the safe area," Angele spoke in a calm tone. "We need Fiona to activate the portal, but—" He stopped for a second. "A strong being is tracking us down, we need to separate into two teams here."

Miray and the woman with a ponytail also noticed the energy movement behind them.

"My name is Mira and I'm his sister. We'll contact you if we can survive the attack," the woman quickly introduced herself and sent her communication rune to Angele.

"Sure." A rune that looked like a white flower appeared on his left hand. He also sent his communication rune to Mira. "Good luck."

Mira checked the communication and said, "Good luck to you too."

They exchanged eye contact and flew to the opposite side. There was no point to stay together in this situation.

Angele remained silent as he traveled thousands of meters. Becky was the only living being around him.

"What're you planning?" Becky questioned in a cold tone. "You're here to kill the elite members of the Dark Wizard Tower, right? You didn't do anything during the battle and then you decided to leave the team."

Angele did not respond to her words. There were blue light dots flashing in front of his eyes.

He finally stopped after flying for several minutes. He floated over the clouds and looked back. 'He's getting closer.'

Angele looked at Becky and said in a deep tone, "I'm counting on you."

Becky thought for a second and shouted, "Damn it! Using me as your shield again?! Just kill me!"

"Come on, you're my best partner." Angele patted Becky's shoulder.

"You…!" Becky gritted her teeth.

Chapter 503: Elites (4)

Angele ignored Becky, he took out a red leather notebook from the mirror and turned several pages.

He rolled his left sleeve up and checked the five scorpion patterns—only two of them were glowing.

Angele's brow furrowed, he lowered his arm and ordered, 'Remove the restriction.'

Blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes.

'Removing the restriction, releasing the realm power…' Zero's mechanical voice echoed in his ears.

'Recovering attributes… Checking Nightmare Realm's coordinates… Increasing power… Modifying your information…'

Angele turned around and intense red light appeared around his body. The light spread to all angles and illuminated the white clouds.

CHI*

A dark shadow flew to Angele and stopped in front of him. It was a man with a muscular body; the half-naked man was wearing a battle dress and a white bone helmet. There were also totem tattoos on his face.

"Well, master Anchura, you should've gone for the other wizards." Angele smiled and four balls of dark flames appeared behind him.

The four flame balls turned into four lion men; the lion men had red bodies with large white wings on their backs and each of them was around four meters tall.

Anchura narrowed his eyes and stared at Angele.

"You think you can win a fight against me? Naive," he spoke in a deep tone. He glanced at the lion men. "What can you do with the four weak beasts you summoned?"

"You'll know." Angele stopped talking. The red light around his body turned into a red string and flew to Anchura at full speed.

Angele's red hair was growing like crazy, flying at Anchura from all angles; dark-red flames coated the hair as it flew in the air.

Angele's body blurred for a second after initiating the attack and four shadows that looked identical to Angele appeared in the air. The shadows were also using their hair to attack Anchura, but they looked weaker.

The endless red hair was flying to Anchura from different angles like it was alive.

Anchura blocked his mouth using both hands and silver light appeared on his palms.

Roar*

He moved his hands away from his mouth and roared like crazy.

The energy waves were vibrating in the air and the clouds under them moved away, revealing the dark land.

The intense sound waves were spreading in all angles; the red hair was slowed down in the air, and it disappeared into the void after several minutes.

CHI*

Suddenly, a strand of hair slashed through the left side of Anchura's face.

Anchura stopped roaring after taking the hit.

His expression changed—Anchura thought he would be able to take out Angele easily, however, he did not expect Angele to be so strong. He realized that Angele had been hiding his true power.

Anchura rubbed the wound on his face and dripped the blood onto his white bone helmet.

"Ancestor's Call!" he shouted and threw the bone helmet down.

The size of the bone helmet quickly increased and it turned into a skull of a beast within seconds. The skull was more than 30 meters long and Angele was covered by its shadow.

BAM*

Thick purple smoke filled up the skull quickly, leaking outside.

CHI*

The skull released a ball of purple smoke through its mouth and tried to bite Angele.

Angele remained calm and raised his right hand. He waved his hand and countless purple stones jumped out of the black mirror.

The stones gathered around his right arm—they were turning into a piece of stone armor. The size of Angele's arm increased like crazy; it was wider than his waist, and looked like the arm of an ancient giant with the stone armor.

He swung his right arm and hit the skull.

BAM*

Thunder rumbled in the sky as his arm landed on the skull's chin.

The skull was pushed more than ten meters away and its chin was completely destroyed.

The stone armor could not handle the impact and part of it crumbled in the air. Although the purple smoke successfully went through the stone pieces, it was easily blocked by the red light around Angele's body.

Anchura's expression turned serious after he saw that the skull did nothing. He drew a circle in the air and pushed it forward. The totem tattoos on his faces started moving. They turned into purple worms and disappeared into the air.

After everything was done, Anchura took out a bloody thing that looked like a long intestine, and started chanting an incantation.

A white eyeball appeared on the tip of the intestine that was several meters long while he was chanting; there was a strange mouth under the white eyeball. The mouth looked like it was formed by three human mouths that were full of sharp teeth.

"Go, devour him!" Anchura pointed Angele.

BAM*

Angele hit the left cheek of the skull hard and the purple smoke was still being blocked by the red light. His body was surrounded by red flames and the purple stones from the armor were splashing in the air.

Suddenly, a distorted energy wave appeared behind Angele; two purple worms jumped out of the wave and tried to bite Angele's neck.

BAM*

The purple worms bit Angele's neck, but it was like biting a piece of hard metal and his neck was not damaged at all.

Angele's brow furrowed, he grabbed the two purple worms and broke them into pieces.

The scorpion sign between his brow flashed as he leaned to the left slightly. A red shadow passed by on the right—it was the strange intestine Anchura created.

The intestine missed, but there were black electric pulses flashing around its mouth. It almost looked like the intestine was tearing through the air.

Angele tried to attack the intestine using his hair, but the hair could not even get close to it.

Angele's expression changed slightly and he tried to hit the intestine with his right arm. His arm was moving so fast that it blurred in the air.

The intestine had no way to handle the attack, it broke into pieces within seconds.

Ugh*

Anchura groaned; he looked surprised.

"You forced me to do it!" He sounded anxious. Anchura took out a silver dagger and cut the left side of his chest open. Blood spurted out of the wound and a pink worm appeared on the tip of the blade.

The worm was slowly moving in the air and the color of its body changed. It turned from pink to metallic yellow. A golden plant spurted out of the worm's body and quickly branched out; the branches were expanding quite fast.

Several seconds later, the golden branches turned into golden vines and covered the whole area around Angele and Anchura.

There were countless vines floating in the air, releasing strange energy waves.

"Die now!" Anchura shouted furiously. "This is the best golden vine worm I created!"

The golden vines quickly charged at Angele and Becky.

All the remaining energy in the air was cleared by the vines.

Angele's brow furrowed, he observed the vines carefully. He wanted to teleport away when he saw the worm, but the vines expanded so fast that he had no time to escape. Also, the vines were ridiculously long, each of the vines had a length of over ten thousand meters.

All the energy movements were paused by something and he had no way to teleport away.

The vines had a metallic glow on their surface and a gentle fragrance permeated the air. Angele's head was getting dizzy after he inhaled the fragrance and he quickly held his breath.

Angele looked a bit speechless as he glanced at the vines.

"Becky, I'm counting on you." He looked at the woman in white armor. "I'll give you freedom for a second. Make sure you hit the target."

"No problem," Becky agreed.

Angele tapped on her right shoulder.

CHI*

Becky released a strong ray of white light—it was flying to Angele's head.

"Die!" she was shouting furiously; the white ray was getting intense. The ray was more than two meters long and pierced through the golden vines.

Angele's body was penetrated by the white ray, but slowly disappeared into the air like a shadow.

PA*

Angele patted on Becky's shoulder.

"Good job! I knew you can do it!" Angele reappeared in the air, a gentle smile on his face.

"You!" Becky glared at Angele, but she noticed that she could no longer release any energy particles. It seemed like her power was restricted by Angele again.

Becky realized that she had no way to fight Angele if she could not see through the illusions.

The white ray released by Becky pierced through the vines and created a tunnel that led to Anchura. Anchura's body evaporated in the white light, but his head was still floating in the air. Anchura's eyes were wide open, it seemed like he was killed before he could figure out what happened.

A translucent red soul was drawn to Angele.

CHI*

Angele inhaled deeply and Anchura's soul moved to him quickly.

It seemed like Anchura's soul had no idea about the situation and was swallowed by Angele right away.

WOO*

One of the scorpion patterns on his arm glowed, but the light only covered a fifth of the pattern.

"Great, the soul of a top-level rank 4 wizard. I only need five more souls like this to complete one more sign." Angele was satisfied with the result. "Alright, let's return to the vine and see what's going on."

Becky gritted her teeth, she was enraged but she could not control her own body.

"You'll die if you encounter Legion Commander Alice!" She cursed.

"I don't fear death." Angele blinked his eyes and chuckled. "It's great that I have you with me, otherwise, I'd have to reveal my true power."

"Whatever!" Becky turned her head around and closed her eyes.

Angele checked the surroundings, the golden vines above the clouds were melting and the golden liquid was dripping into the clouds.

Most of the vines melted when Angele was talking with Becky.

Angele took out a black robe from the mirror and threw it to Becky.

"Put this on so that Alice will not recognize you. Let's go." Angele moved toward the clouds; it looked like he was walking on an invisible staircase that was surrounded by white clouds.

"I've never traveled through a sea of clouds." Angele looked at Becky, she just put on the black robe. "How do you like it?" He was happy after he absorbed a quality soul.

"Are you dumb?" Becky responded in a cold tone.

Angele was not concerned; they increased their speed.

"Alright, we need to move as fast as we can. Also, I might still need your help later."

Becky remained silent.

They drew two black lines in the sea of white clouds and, rushing to the enormous vine.

On top of the green vine.

The platform was a mess, there were burnt marks and ice shards everywhere; however, the place was empty. The platform almost looked like a piece of cracked emerald.

The platform was surrounded by white glow and golden sunlight illuminated its surface, reflecting green light.

Two black lines flew to the platform from the left, they landed on the platform and turned into two black robes.

"I knew it. No one is here." Angele glanced around; the place was deadly silent.

However, the stone pillar was nowhere to found. It seemed like someone took it away and only a hole was left on the ground.

Angele walked to the hole and raised his left arm. He rolled his sleeve up and revealed the five scorpion patterns.

CHI*

A ray of red light flashed in the air and sank into the patterns quickly.

Several more rays of red light flashed in the air, they were sinking into the patterns.

Two more patterns were filled up—he just needed one more.

Angele was collecting the souls of the dead wizards. The last soul entered the last pattern, but only a small part of the pattern started glowing.

"Not bad." Angele was satisfied with the number of strong souls here. He looked at the east and said, "Alright, let's head to the battlefield,"

"You know Legion Commander Alice is there, right?" Becky questioned.

"I need more souls for my creation. I have a general idea of what they're planning now."

Angele took out a palm-sized mirror and tapped on it.

DING*

The surface of the mirror cracked with a noise. The cracks looked like a spider web that was moving to the east.

Angele observed the cracks carefully and scrunched his brow.

"Mirror Prediction? Well, it seems like something unfortunate will happen if you go to the east." Becky chuckled. "They'll know that you killed Anchura sooner or later and you'll be in trouble."

"Let's go," Angele said. He turned around and flew to the east.

Angele was not absorbing the souls during the battle because he did not want the other wizards to find out. That was the reason why he chose to absorb the souls after the battle ended.

If the battle between the alliance and the Dark Wizard was intense, he would be able to absorb more souls since more wizards would die. If one side was much stronger than the other, the battle would end quickly and he would not be able to collect too many souls.

Currently, the Dark Wizard Tower had the advantage.

They flew east at full speed while hiding in the sea of clouds.

Ten minutes later, Angele heard something roaring and exploding ahead.

His expression changed and he stopped moving. He quickly put up a barrier in the front.

The barrier absorbed the remaining energy waves and disappeared. His black robe was wet due to the clouds.

"Don't move," he muttered and overlooked the area on the front carefully.

He saw two humongous creatures fighting.

The one on the left was a large eyeball created by blue electric pulses. The blue electric pulses formed electric tentacles that attacking the enemy.

The one on the right was a deer with a human head; the deer was white and it was more than ten meters tall. White frost was dropping down the deer's body and the human head looked like it was from a young human being.

The frost rays released by the deer were fighting the electric pulses released by the eyeball. The noise they made sounded like rumbling thunder.

Angele and Becky hid in the clouds. The energy waves in the sky were so strong that no one was paying attention to the clouds.

'It's Fiona's energy waves… She's probably the one who released this eyeball. The deer is releasing mixed energy waves. It doesn't seem like the deer was summoned by just one wizard,' Angele thought.

Through the chaotic electric pulses and frost rays, Angele noticed that there were several gray robes with pale faces observing the battlefield from the far side. There were several black robes floating around them; Angele was not sure if they were killed or just unconscious.

"The battle is ending. We can approach them without being detected and finish them off." Angele sent these words to Becky using energy particles. "I think you know Alice's personality, although you're a member of the Dark Wizard Tower, she'll still kill you without asking any questions. We need to weaken the Dark Wizard Tower so that alliance will have a chance to win."

Becky was a bit disappointed, but she still nodded. "They're all strong wizards like me, what'll you do?"

"Let's take out the gray robes first. We can backstab them when the time is right. The deer will be distracted even if we fail; it'll be slowed down and its abilities weakened." Angele came up with a plan. They moved to the left and tried to approach the gray robes from behind.

It took them about half an hour to go around the battlefield.

The gray robes were focusing on the battlefield and one of them was chanting an incantation. It seemed like the old man was preparing a strong spell.

Angele was a bit surprised when he saw the black robes that were floating in the air. The black robes were in Angele's group.

He was a bit surprised. He saw Miray, Mira, Aria, Justin, Monteria, and a female wizard that he did not know.

Those wizards were still breathing, it seemed like they were still alive but could not move.

The wizards opened their eyes as Angele approached them. They were floating behind the gray robes and could see the white clouds.

The wizards noticed that Angele and Becky were moving to them.

They were a bit surprised but looked excited.

"Help us! This is just a Force Prison!" Mira sent a message to Angele using the communication rune. "Miray, Aria, and I can release a strong spell, but you need to help us to get out first!"

"Wait, Green, help us first!"

"Here! Release us from the Force Prison!" Justin and Aria were also talking to him using energy particles.

The wizards all looked at Angele since he was their only hope.

'Force Prison? It's a simple spell, but it's hard to deal with. Without the energy code, the energy pulse will damage my body if I try to break it using pure power.' Angele checked the information in the database and his brow furrowed.

"Should we help them first?" Becky sent the question through energy particles.

Angele shook his head slowly. "No, we need to finish our thing first."

He slowly moved past the wizards and a black scorpion sign appeared between his brow.

Angele and Becky were hiding behind the illusions Angele created. Also, they were still behind the clouds.

"Damn! Are you stupid? Do you really think you can backstab them?" Aria got impatient after she noticed that Angele was not going to help them first.

Miray and Mira remained silent. Angele could see the desperation in Justin and Monteria's eyes. It seemed like they had given up.

"How stupid can you be?! Damn it! Damn it! We're stronger than you, but we were still captured by the enemy..." Aria started cursing; she did not sound like a noble woman at all, and fear was written all over her face. It seemed like she was upset about losing the battle.

"The gray robes are protected by at least three divine shields and I don't think you can backstab them…" Mira heard some noise before she finished her words.

Angele slowly pulled his right hand out of a gray robe's body, blood dripping down his palm.

Mira remained silent, she could not believe what she just saw. She was wondering how Angele broke through the three barriers like nothing.

The wizards lost the battle because the enemies had strong defensive barriers. Each of the divine shields could only be broken through by attacks with over 1000 degrees damage. There were three shields and they could block over 3000 degrees of damage.

Mira looked at the blood on Angele's palm and the gray robe that fell to the ground.

'Maybe the gray robe was careless…' Mira assumed.

The rest of the wizards were also surprised because Angele killed a gray robe like killing a chicken.

Becky was trying to do the same thing, however, she only broke through two divine barriers, and the gray robe turned around quickly. He tried to cut Becky's head off.

Angele quickly moved to the gray robe and broke through the last barrier, hitting the gray robe in the head.

CHI*

The gray robe's head was cut in half and his brain splashed in the air.

"Enemy!" the two other gray robes shouted. They tried to take something out from their pouches, however, Angele was right beside them. He created the stone armor again and hit the space between the two wizards to create a distraction.

CHI CHI*

The gray robes' heads were pierced by Angele's dark-red hair.

The four gray robes were eliminated like nothing.

"Is it over?" Becky rubbed her wrist. She failed to break through the barriers and it seemed like she was disappointed.

Angele nodded. "Yeah, they're just rank 4 wizards who were injured. We can take them out easily. The problem is the deer." He was getting stronger and stronger as the Nightmare Realm approached. He was already stronger than the moment he entered the Blood Throne. Also, his abilities were buffed by the realm power of the Nightmare Realm.

Although his physical attacks were relatively weak, they still had the damage of strong offensive spells. The gray robes were top-level rank 4 wizards but their defense was lowered due to the injury, so Angele could take them out easily.

Also, Angele was confident that he could take out four top-level rank 4 wizards even if they were not injured.

"Huh?" It seemed like the deer noticed the situation. The deer released two purple lasers from its eyes at Angele's chest.

Becky appeared in front of Angele before Angele said anything and blocked the purple lasers.

CHI*

The lasers penetrated her robe, leaving two holes on the white concept gear, but they failed to damage Becky's body.

"Those lasers can easily penetrate the divine shields the gray robes had." Becky's brow furrowed. "With Fiona, the deer can't focus on us; should we release them from the prison first?"

Angele looked at the black robes after he heard these words. "Who's the strongest wizard here?" he questioned.

"Me!" Mira responded first. "Sorry that we were disrespectful to you; I'm the strongest wizard of the group." She looked at Angele with a complicated expression on the face, it seemed like she thought Angele was hiding his true power because the alliance told him to do so.

"Alright, I'll release you from the prison so you can help the others. You can do that, right?"

"Yeah, I can."

Angele flew to Mira and crouched. He turned Mira's body around.

There was a complicated green rune on Mira's stomach.

Angele put his finger on the rune and started drawing. The green glow faded away after Angele redrew the whole rune.

Several seconds later, intense green light was released by the rune.

Angele quickly slapped the rune.

The green rune collapsed as the light slowly faded away.

Mira quickly straightened her back as she blushed. Most of the female wizards would not care, however, Mira was a royal member from the Golden Flower Empire. Her behavior represented the royal family. Unlike the female wizards from other empires, the golden flower was the symbol of elegance and purity—although Angele was helping, she still felt ashamed that her stomach was touched in public.

"Thank you." Mira felt a bit strange that she had to thank the man who just touched her stomach.

Somewhere above the clouds.

A white doll that was around one meter tall was arranging her hair. She was observing the white clouds and it seemed like she was looking for something.

"Come to me now… Cutie…" Her voice was gentle but hoarse.

"Don't try to hide… I can see you…"

A male voice came from the clouds. "As a commander of the Dark Wizard Tower, why are you going so hard on a young wizard like me? You should go for the important members of the alliance."

"This is a war, young one. No one cares." Alice chuckled. "Ask the important members of the alliance to come and fight me... but they'll die too, ha."

Alice looked to the right. "Found you!" She grasped forward with the right hand.

KA*

Part of the large cloud disappeared into the air. It almost looked like an invisible beast took a bite off the clouds.

It seemed like her attack landed. The man groaned.

"You're a dead man…" Alice licked his lips. Her tongue looked like a tongue of a snake. It was red and sharp.

Raising her hands, she clapped slightly in front her chest. A large shadow that looked like a wing appeared on the right side of her back, spreading toward the clouds at full speed.

Suddenly, Alice's expression changed. A light screen appeared in front of her eyes, and she saw the gray robes being backstabbed and skilled.

"New toys… Wait, that man is… Purple Eye…" she muttered. "Hey, young one, you're lucky that I have something else to take care of today…"

Alice turned around and disappeared into the clouds.

Several minutes later, a male white robe appeared on the far side. He was holding his injured right arm and sweat covered his face.

"What's this monster planning?" the man wondered.

Angele's expression changed.

"Hurry up! Alice is coming!" he suddenly shouted.

Mira had released three more wizards from the prison. She helped her younger brother first and they started helping the others together. It seemed like they still needed some time.

Aria was just released from the prison.

"How do you know that the monster is coming back?" Aria was not happy. She was around 100 years old and it seemed like she could not control her emotions like a grown woman.

"I set up multiple runes on my way here. She'll be here in half an hourglass." Half an hourglass was the same as half an hour. The wizards' expressions changed after they heard Angele's words.

"Now!" Angele exchanged eye contact with Becky and Becky nodded. They knew that it was a life or death situation.

"Also, if we failed to solve the problem, I'll remove the restriction. Do whatever you can and see if you can eliminate that deer." Angele sent the words using energy particles.

"I'll try," Becky responded in a deep tone. "I'll have to warn you first. Alice also owns a concept gear and no one knows how strong she is. She'll make it look like she's only slightly stronger than her opponent so she can have more fun during a battle."

"No worries." Angele nodded. He wanted more wizards to die during the fight so he could collect all the souls he needed.

"Mira, how can we leave the Blood Throne?"

He looked at Mira.

"Fiona has the plate with the coordinates," Miray responded before Mira said anything.

They finished speaking and stopped wasting time.

The wizards started to prepare for the incoming battle. They were waiting for Angele's order since they realized that Angele was the strongest wizard in the team.

"Everyone, prepare your area lightning spells! I'll locate the target!" Angele raised his hand and swung it down hard.

A large purple lightning rune the size of a human head appeared above him.

The rune gathered the electric pulses from the void and absorbed them. It felt like the rune was a spacious pouch designed for electric pulses.

The other wizards also cast their spells and the created electric pulses all went into the rune above Angele's head.

The electric pulses surrounded the wizards and they were getting intense. An enormous electric leopard was created by the electric pulses.

The clouds below them turned dark and they started moving.

The deer got anxious after it noticed that the situation changed, but it was still having trouble with the purple electric lasers released by the eyeball.

Roar*

The deer roared as more and more frost was released by its body. The area around the deer turned into an ice aura.

The white frost in the ice aura turned into ice shards that had the shape of flowers. The ice flowers started rotating around the deer slowly.

"Watch out! The deer is going all out!" Fiona's voice echoed in the air.

Angele was not concerned, he just pointed at the deer.

The leopard roared and charged to the deer.

The eyeball released two electric snakes and they were also flying to the deer.

The ice flowers exploded as they contacted the electric snakes. The frost energy in the air was moving like crazy.

The sky suddenly turned dark.

Rumble*

After the thunder, light returned to the sky.

The deer was burnt black and its head was cut off its body. The deer was still floating in the air, but it was no longer moving.

"It's over! Let's retreat!" The eyeball turned into Fiona. Her black robe was broken. Fiona's body and face were covered with blood. It seemed like the battle was intense.

Fiona opened her book quickly and turned the pages several times.

The wizards all flew to Fiona.

Angele was the last one, he collected the souls of the dead wizards when everyone was moving to Fiona.

Fiona quickly chanted the incantation that would lead them to the correct coordinates, however, the wizards saw a white dot was flying to them at full speed from the other side of the sky.

"You shall not escape!" Alice's high-pitched voice was still hoarse. A terrifying force field surrounded Alice's body, almost like a tornado.

"Come on! Hurry!" The wizards stared at Alice anxiously and Fiona increased her speed.

BAM*

The wizards disappeared into golden light and teleported away.

The last thing they heard was Alice's furious curses.

Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu

The golden light was flashing.

Angele's sight was blurred for a second after the teleportation. He realized that he was in front of a clear lake after he could see things again.

He was lying on a white beach. The other wizards were also lying around him in different poses.

The eye-blinding sunlight was hot and strong. Angele could smell blood in the gentle wind that was brushing over his face.

"What's this place?" Monteria was on the right; she just woke up and was rubbing her temples. It seemed like she was still dizzy.

"I don't know. We were teleported here." Angele stood up and wiped the sand off his robe. He checked the surroundings quickly.

The wizards were teleported to an area that was surrounded by mountains and there was a small lake in front of them. Angele could see silver fish swimming in the clear water.

Angele put his hand into the pouch, but it seemed like he failed to find the item he needed.

"Do you have an item that can show our location?" He looked at Monteria.

Monteria shrugged. "I don't, but I heard that Justin learned a spell that can help locate us from an ancient ruin. We should ask him after he wakes up."

Angele nodded but did not say anything. He looked at the wizards and noticed only several of them were waking up.

"Becky?"

White light flashed and Becky appeared behind Angele.

Becky's body was covered with white sand and dirty.

"Damn, I was teleported into the sand!" Becky was wiping the sand off her body anxiously.

Angele was not concerned, he just wanted to make sure that Becky was still alive. He looked at Monteria—the woman was trying to craft potions using different materials.

"I need the potions to keep my body stable due to a lab accident," Monteria explained as she noticed that Angele was looking at her.

"I'll leave now since we returned safely. Can you let them know after they wake up?" Angele looked at Monteria. "I assume you've completed the mission. I saw that the stone pillar was taken away."

"Yeah, Fiona took it during the battle. It was the core of the Blood Throne and I think things will be fine. We completed the mission, but I'm not sure about the other teams." Monteria's brow furrowed. "You're not heading back to the alliance?"

"I will, but I need to check on my other friends. They live in remote areas; although the Dark Wizard Tower might not be able to find them, I want to make sure that they're safe," Angele responded in a calm tone.

"Sure, go ahead." Monteria shrugged again.

Angele exchanged eye contact with Becky and they walked into the forest by the beach.

Becky followed Angele into the forest and started laughing after they walked for a while.

"You're done! Master Alice has already recognized you." She chuckled. "The winner of the competition, the leader of the elite team, Purple Eye, is now identified as a traitor. The Dark Wizard Tower will definitely go after you."

Angele stopped moving and remained silent.

"What? Are you scared?" Becky sneered.

The two stood in the forest. The golden sunlight landed on the ground after passing through the gaps between the leaves which were shaking slightly in the wind.

Angele opened his mouth after he remained silent for a while.

"The contract states that my benefit and the people that are important to me will be protected in exchange for my service. I didn't want to join the alliance's operation, but my mother was attacked by you and that's a breach of the contract."

"No… it's not…" A deep and old voice echoed in the air.

Angele's expression changed, white light flashed in the air and Becky appeared in front of him.

A silver bat appeared above the tree; the silver glow around the bat was brighter than the golden sunlight. The bat almost looked like a silver statue.

The silver bat landed on a branch in front of Angele and Becky and stared at Angele with a pair of deep eyes.

"Alice has informed us about the situation, but we had no time to confirm it. However, we've confirmed it now. Green, are you sure you want to join the alliance?" the bat spoke slowly.

Angele looked at the bat with a serious expression on his face. He recognized the voice immediately—it was his teacher, the head of a department. Angele had never met his teacher after joining the department and it was the first time they had a serious conversation.

"Teacher?" he wondered. "Is this your physical form, or...?"

"This is my physical form," the bat responded in a calm tone. "I've been using this body for over one thousand years. Come back to us, Green. I'm one of the department heads and your guilt can be remitted. Also, I can protect your mother."

Becky's eyes were wide open, it felt like she found the situation hard to believe.

Angele remained calm. "I've never breached the contract. Everything I did was allowed. Also, I still think that the Dark Wizard Tower is the one who breached the contract."

"Is this your real thought?" the bat questioned back.

"Yes."

The conversation was not going well.

Several minutes later, the old bat loosened its expression.

"I was going to teach you my technique after the war, but I didn't expect you to betray the organization at this critical period."

"I'm just doing what I have to do," Angele spoke in a light tone.

"Good." The bat nodded. "I can understand, but the Duke will not. You're the only student I accepted in recent years and I respect your decision. You must have a strong mind to walk further, that's how wizards strengthen themselves."

"However, the Dark Wizard Tower will not forgive a traitor." The bat opened his wings and released some eye-blinding silver light.

"You're no longer my student, but I'll let you go this time. Leave now…" The bat finished its words and disappeared into the air, its voice echoing in the forest.

Angele just stood there and remained silent.

"The department head is not here just for you. He'll kill the wizards from the alliance. Your teacher has many shadows and forms. It's incredible that he decided to take you out by himself." Becky sighed with mixed emotions.

"The strong wizards of the alliance will come and help them. Let's leave now, I don't want to be caught in the mid of an intense battle." Angele just realized that the Dark Wizard Tower was trying to give him the last chance.

Angele was never a man that knew how to set up a perfect plan. He failed to analyze the situation and it became awkward.

"The Dark Wizard Tower will release my information to the public sooner or later," Angele spoke in a calm tone. "I guess the alliance and the Dark Wizard Tower will all go after me."

"You're in the middle of them. They'll send people to track you down. Do you have a plan?"

"A plan?" Angele started advancing. "I joined the Dark Wizard Tower because I want to protect the people that are important to me during the war. I'd never have betrayed them had they given me what they promised."

Becky looked at Angele and advised, "The department head was here to deliver the message and that's an honor. Think twice before making the decision. I'm sure your teacher will help you if you ask. The department heads all had strong power in the organization."

Angele did not respond. Raising his left arm, he looked at the five scorpion patterns; they looked like five glowing rubies.

He did not want to connect the Nightmare Realm to the wizard world if he had the choice. The lords would change the wizard world completely.

"The Dark Wizard Tower can track you down and kill you easily. If you make the wrong choice, you'll become a wanted criminal." Becky was still trying to convince Angele for some reason.

The trees of the forest looked like coconut trees; they were traveling through it at full speed.

BAM*

They suddenly heard some loud noise from behind them.

Angele turned around and checked the situation.

A silver vortex appeared above the forest. Dark lightning was striking the area under the vortex constantly.

Angele looked at the lightning and made the decision.

"I need to go somewhere alone. Find a place and hide. Don't try to contact the Dark Wizard Tower. I can track you down whenever I want."

Becky snorted but did not say anything.

Angele was not concerned. He pressed on his chest and disappeared into a ball of flames.

'Creating your shadow…' Zero's voice echoed in his ears.

Angele felt like that he was traveling through an intestine. He jumped out of the exit like a fish jumping into the sea. The feeling was great.

Angele regained his consciousness quickly.

The sky was dark and the clouds looked like burning flames. There were red electric pulses flashing in the sky. The dark land was covered with white bones and dust.

A tall statue was standing on the ground quietly. The statue was red and it almost like it was connected to the sky. It was a giant wearing heavy armor.

The giant's head was covered by a red helmet and surrounded by a red glow. The upper body and the bottom body of the giant were separated. There was a floating eyeball on its waist.

The giant was chained up on four stone pillars.

"A shadow?" Eye Devil's voice echoed in the sky. "Any good news, Phoenix? Have you prepared the souls?"

Angele nodded. "I've collected all the needed souls. Ready your army. I can't teleport back to Nightmare Realm at the moment because it'll be hard for me to return to the wizard world."

"Great, thanks for your hard work." Eye Devil sounded excited. "Maybe there's something in your world that can help me."

"Maybe, don't forget what you promised me."

"Of course."

GA*

A large black bird appeared in the sky and made some loud noise.

Angele raised his head and looked at the bird.

BOOM*

The black bird exploded into pieces and turned into a rain of blood, landing on the ground.

"Although you may not care, I need to double-check the location of the runes because I want to minimize the risk. How long do you need to open the dimension fissure and enter the wizard world?" Angele questioned.

"If it's me, it'll take one day," Eye Devil responded, "but they'll need two days."

"That's too long." Angele's brow furrowed. "The wizard world in a chaos right now. The creatures from the Fairy Realm are also in the wizard world. They'll try to seal the fissure if you're too slow."

"Fairy Realm, huh? It sounds like a party…" Eye Devil's eyeball rolled.

"I have a good idea. The dimension fissure that brought the residents of Fairy Realm to the wizard world must be weak and they have to keep the world altar going. You can use their dimension fissure without being noticed and open the portal for us. It'll shorten the required time greatly."

"I heard that there are many rare bloodlines in the Fairy Realm but I don't really like such places, you know." Angele was implying something.

"I thought you were having trouble teleporting to the Nightmare Realm." The man with a cape joined the conversation.

"I've never explored the Fairy Realm. I heard the realm is great. If you can open the portal using their altar, we'll have a much easier time accessing that realm."

"Alright, I'll find the closest world altar so you can teleport as soon as possible."

"Good luck."

"Thanks." Angele nodded and glanced at the pyramid but did not find the woman in black.

"She's in my molten palace and won't be able to leave without your permission," Eye Devil explained. "I don't think she'll leave my palace even if want her to. She's been reading my books all day and only stops when it's food time."

"Great." Angele pressed on his chest. His body turned translucent and he disappeared into the air seconds later.

In the coconut tree forest. A ball of red flames appeared and formed Angele's body.

He pulled the broken black robe off, revealing the tight black armor on his body. He collected some special stones and crafted the armor by himself. It was perfect for his muscular body.

The forest was quiet; Becky was sleeping under a large tree. Her face and hands were still covered in dirt. There were dead crabs on the ground, each the size of a wheel. The crabs were smashed to pieces and for some reason, their blood was red.

Angele walked to the tree and kicked Becky. "Wake up."

"Damn! What're you doing!" Becky stood up; she sounded angry.

"Do you know where the closest world altar is?" Angele wondered.

"Why're you asking?" Becky inhaled deeply and shook her head slightly. "Most of the altars are reinforced and I don't think you can break any of them."

"Has the alliance already tried it?" Angele wondered.

"Yeah, they tried many times. Do you know Suman? He's the inheritor of the Thousand Waterfall City's lord. Suman is not talented, but he has some weird abilities and tried to destroy the world altars," Becky explained. "However, he failed."

"Which means… Suman is familiar with world altars?" Angele almost forgot about the incident.

"Yeah, he entered the world altars multiple times."

"Is he still alive? Do you know where he is?"

"The central area. The last time we found him was at the Rayton Highland and that was probably the only world altar he missed. The main forces of the alliance and the Dark Wizard Tower are moving to Rayton Highland. That place might be the location for the final battle," Becky responded. She knew that Angele could read her memory if she tried to lie.

"Let's head to Rayton Highland as well." Angele pointed at the broken black robe on the ground and ignited it.

The base of the alliance in the Molten River area.

In a cave among the volcanos. The important members of the Elemental Hand were all in the cave. The elders sat around a black stone table.

BAM*

The Second Elder hit the table with his fist, there was a serious expression on his face.

"That's all we get after traveling for days?"

"We left our Legacy Magic Circle and we've never been friends with the three lords," the First Elder spoke in a calm tone, "it's understandable…"

"It's fine that they don't provide us with supplies, but our base is way too close to the front line. It'll be a serious problem if we're attacked by the Dark Wizard Tower," Vivian interrupted.

The elders remained silent after hearing that.

Suddenly, a soldier in black armor stepped into the cave.

"Masters, the leader of the alliance, Prince Evil Dragon, wants to invite you to his meeting hall."

"All of us?" The First Elder stood up. "What's the matter?"

"The messenger said that he wanted to move our base to another location," the soldier responded.

"Really?" The elders sounded surprised.

Four days later.

In a dark underground cave that was close to the volcanos.

Green patterns flashed on the walls and there was a black table with a ball of red light floating over it in the center of the cave.

Angele stood in front of the red light quietly and moved his left arm to the light. The red souls were being absorbed into his left arm. He could hear the souls' groaning and screaming echo in the cave.

It took around ten minutes until all the souls were absorbed by the scorpion patterns. Angele felt relieved after everything was done.

"Great, the souls absorbed by the five scorpion patterns are all here. I just need to find a suitable location and open the portal." He lowered his left arm and covered the scorpion patterns using the stone armor.

Becky leaned against the wall and watched the whole process, but she was not interested in what Angele was doing.

"Is the war still going on?" Angele looked at Becky.

"It never stopped. The alliance successfully surrounded part of the Dark Wizard Tower's army and they would not let this chance slide," Becky responded in a light tone.

BOOM*

It seemed like something exploded above the cave.

"Lead me to Rayton Highland. I've prepared everything." Angele had a blank expression on the face.

"I think you're planning something dangerous. Collecting souls was never allowed by the alliance or the Dark Wizard Tower. You're done if they find out about the truth. No one will forgive you," Becky warned in a cold tone.

"It's what I have to do," Angele said in a light tone.

"The more souls I collect, the more easily they can travel through the portal, and the timing will be perfect," he muttered. Angele disappeared into red flames and Becky disappeared into some white light.

Several days later. Rayton Highland. Noon.

It was snowing and the whole land was white.

On the plains of the highland, there was an army in white confronting an army in black.

Rows of knights in white armor were in the army on the left, riding tall bulls that only had one horn. The hooves of the bulls had the size of wheels. They were standing on the ground steadily.

A white robe was floating in front of the army with a pearl necklace in hand. He was staring at the dark army quietly.

The dark army was formed by black robes with beasts around them. There were lions, birds, dogs, and goats that were over three meters tall.

The dark army was led by an enormous black goat; its horns were twisting slowly, almost like two moving snakes.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. This is the only path we have and you better move away or I'll destroy you along with your army," the goat said slowly.

"Snake Horn? I thought you were at the volcanos." The old wizard scrunched his brow. "Well, I guess I'll just take you out since you're here."

"Try me." The snakes on the goat's head were moving much faster than before.

They traded the words, however, none of them initiated the fight. It sounded like they were just having an argument.

One of the white armored knights yawned as he looked at another knight.

"Hey, how long will this argument last?"

"I have no idea. I guess it'll take several more days," the knight responded.

"Won't they get tired? The argument is initiated by the captain, our vice-captain and elder also joined the argument…" The soldier sounded tired. "Why don't we just fight?"

The wind and the snow was getting stronger.

The soldiers were all covered in snow.

Angele and Becky stayed in the sky above the two armies. They activated stealth technique and were barely noticeable in the white clouds.

Angele looked down and could see the soldiers on the plain clearly.

On the far side, there were several other white armies moving down the hills. There were also dark armies moving down the mountains quickly.

"How long have they been confronting each other by the entrance of the world altar? I can see that they're gathering armies," Angele talked to Becky using energy particles. There were several owls patrolling the are below them.

"This is the location of a possible final battle. The alliance probably knows that the Dark Wizard Tower is still having trouble with the Shadow Realm. This is the perfect time to start the battle since most of the Dark Wizard Tower's strong wizards are fighting with Shadow Realm," Becky explained.

"How long until the next teleportation? They'll send more soldiers here, right?"

"They bring more soldiers to this world once every half month. We just need to wait several more days."

"Great." Angele looked at the armies. When the Dark Wizard Tower activated the world altar, he would be able to create a portal for the lords, and would be saved a lot of effort since he would not have to create the dimension fissure by himself.

Angele thought for a while and flew to the empty ground on the side. The empty ground was far from the battlefield, so he was not worried that he would be detected. He was certain that the patrolling soldiers would not be able to see that far.

The wind and snow were getting stronger. Angele could barely see any objects after he landed on the ground. The white snow was the only thing in his sight.

The chilling snow covered Angele and Becky's bodies, they almost looked like two snowmen.

"Follow me!" Angele spoke in a deep tone. "The wind and snow here are strengthened by the wizards. I won't be able to find you using mentality waves in this situation."

There was a twisted path between two hills in the front. The path was covered in snow. A deep hole would be left on the ground every time Angele stepped forward.

Angele and Becky were advancing slowly.

"There should be some caves ahead; if they're here, they'll probably hide in those caves," Angele said as he took out a yellow map.

The route on the map was changing constantly and the red marks on the routes were also changing. They turned into twisted red lines.

"How do you know that?" Becky questioned. She knew how she should communicate with Angele after all these days they spent together. She just needed to follow Angele's orders when necessary and Angele would not get angry if she was disrespectful; however, Angele would play jokes on her sometimes.

"I have a friend that lives in this area." Angele lowered the map.

"Although I don't know why he responded so fast after I tried to contact him, it's great that I can still find him," Angele explained.

Becky stopped asking questions. They were advancing in the snow and increased their speed. Their footprints would be covered by the snow within minutes.

The snowflakes were brushing over their faces. Angele did not want to be detected so he did not cast any spells. It took them about half an hour to arrive at a cliff.

Angele stepped on the cliff and looked down.

Below the cliff was an area covered with small caves. There were a couple hundred caves down there; they looked endless.

Angele stopped. With a flick of his finger, he released a ray of blue light, leaving a blue trail in the snow. The blue trail was clear and eye-catching.

"Who's there?!" A white robe appeared on the left of the two. The white robe was observing Angele and Becky carefully.

"I'm a friend of Mincola," Angele responded in a calm tone.

"Dorman, calm down, he's my friend!" A tall man stepped out of the snow. He was wearing white armor and his skin looked a bit dark in this outfit.

The man's sight fell upon Angele.

"Long time no see, Green. You helped me the last time and I finally have the chance to pay you back."

Angele remained silent, he was not sure how he should respond.

"Come in now. You're almost an enemy to both the alliance and the Dark Wizard Tower," Mincola spoke in a deep tone. "Follow me, I'll take you to Suman."

"Thank you for your help." There was a bitter smile on Angele's face.

The white robe named Dorman disappeared into the snow again.

Angele and Becky followed after Mincola. They walked down the hill and entered one of the caves.

The tunnel was dark.

"You already knew that I was once a member of the Dark Wizard Tower?" Angele asked as he walked.

"Of course. The Dark Wizard Tower released your information to the public and said that you were a traitor. I think the whole central continent knows about your situation since the rumor is spreading so fast. I think you brought some serious trouble to Elder Vivian," Mincola responded. "What you did is much more eye-catching than what we did to the world altars."

"Do you know how Vivian is doing now? Do you have any intel?" Angele was a bit anxious after he heard that.

"Price Evil Dragon is protecting Vivian, he's one of the alliance's leaders and things should be fine, but other members of the alliances are unhappy. They think that you're the reason why the Fairy Realm is invading our world," Mincola responded.

"That's fine." Angele sighed with relief.

The conversation ended as the atmosphere got heavy.

They advanced for around one hour in the cave and saw a bright campfire ahead. The flames of the campfire were dancing in the air.

There were several people sitting around the campfire. One of the men in white leather armor had long black hair and was cleaning a scimitar.

Angele also saw a woman wearing a short green skirt—she had to be Sella, Suman's partner. They left Thousand Waterfall city together.

The other people were around 30 to 40 years old. There were a man and a woman sitting opposite each other. They had blank expressions and were wearing tight black outfits.

There were two long swords hanging on the woman's waist and she was wearing silver bottom armor. She looked like a royal knight.

They all looked at Angele and Mincola after hearing the noise.

Suman stood up and asked, "Mincola, is he the man you talked about?" He looked at Angele and Becky with a pair of sharp eyes.

"You were just kids when I met you and Sella at the party." Angele smiled and said, "You look like a great warrior now."

"It's you!" Suman's expression loosened. "You helped us escape and won a fight against the rank 4 wizards. I've never forgotten what you did for me, Master Green."

"Just call me Green. I assume that you already know why I'm here." Angele glanced around.

The other people all stood up, but they looked confused.

"We need to plan this out, let me introduce my team members to you first." Suman pointed at his friends.

"This is Bella, she's a Blade Dancer." He pointed at the woman with two long swords.

"This is Messiah, he's an assassin."

The man forced a smile on his face. "Nice to meet you."

"You already know me and Sella. Also, I think you already met Dorman, he was in charge of the traps." Suman pointed at the campfire. "Take a seat. We moved to this location not so long ago."

Angele and Becky followed Mincola to the campfire. They sat down together and started cleaning the snow off their bodies.

"Green, greetings. I wonder what brings you here." Sella's voice did not change—it was still crisp and attractive.

Angele looked at the girl and checked the energy wave she was releasing. She had the same power level as a rank 1 wizard; also, her energy wave was a bit strange.

The Blade Dancer named Bella only had the power level of an apprentice, but she was releasing a mysterious energy wave. She was sitting with her eyes closed and it seemed like she was resting.

The assassin named Messiah had clean skin and, for some reason, reminded Angele of the people who were from the underground world. Most of the creatures in the underground had clean white skin due to the lack of sunlight. Messiah also had the power level of a rank 1 wizard, but it seemed like the golden dagger in his hand was a special item.

Mincola was a rank 2 wizard, but Suman was not releasing any energy wave. It felt like he was just a mortal.

Angele noticed the wrinkles around Suman's eyes.

"Your body…" Angele did not respond to Sella, he just talked to Suman after checking his condition.

The atmosphere got heavy again.

A bright smile appeared on Suman's face. "No worries. My life expectancy was greatly reduced because I used the concept gear too much. Maybe I'll die earlier than other mortals, but it's worth it. My life is more exciting than others' and I have so many friends supporting me."

The young man lightened everyone's mood. Suman was different than before, he looked like a talented leader.

"So, why are you here?" someone asked.

Angele glanced around and his sight fell upon Mincola.

"Mincola, do you know why I'm here?" Angele questioned. He was the strongest wizard here.

No one knew that Angele was a rank 4 wizard, but Mincola probably noticed the difference.

"You're here for the ruin of Dream Lord that is in the dimension fissure?" Mincola questioned.

Angele was a bit surprised, he had no idea what was going on, but he made it look like Mincola was correct.

"It has been a while since the last time I met you, but you're correct."

Mincola smiled; his white teeth were eye-catching.

"You're a wanted man and I assume you did something that the Dark Wizard Tower didn't like. Your mother is having a hard time in the alliance and you must be worried, so you want to help your mother by helping the alliance. The most recent event is the opening of the Dream Lord's ruin. This is the best chance to redeem yourself." He stopped for a second and continued, "I knew what you were trying to do when I received your message."

"The shadow of the strongest ancient wizard, Dream Lord, is sealed in the dimension fissure. If the shadow is unsealed by the Dark Wizard Tower, the whole world will be in trouble." Sella joined the conversation.

"According to the history, Dream Lord tried to conquer the world. If the shadow is unsealed, there's a chance that Dream Lord will return to the wizard world. They sent soldiers into the ruins of other ancient wizard lords as distractions and their true purpose was to unseal the Dream Lord," Suman explained in a deep tone.

"The true goal of the Dark Wizard Tower is to unseal Dream Lord?" Angele wondered. "The alliance is trying to stop the Dark Wizard Tower, so they chose to start the final battle here?"

"You're right. The strong members of the alliance are heading to the battlefield." Suman nodded.

"How do you stop the Dark Wizard Tower? Do you have a plan?" Angele continued to ask.

"We just need to destroy this world altar. They need the altar to open the dimension tunnel; if we can destroy the altar, the coordinates of the ruin will change. They won't be able to find the next coordinates since they used all the resources they had. This is our plan," Sella explained.

"Green, I learned that you were the leader of an elite assassin team, right? What exactly is this team?" Mincola suddenly asked. He was staring at Angele.

"Well, I…" Angele was a bit speechless.

"Wait! I remember him!" Messiah's expression suddenly changed. He stood up and pointed at Angele with his dagger. "The elites who attacked us said that they were from the elite assassin team of the Dark Wizard Tower!"

The situation suddenly changed. Suman and his friends were looking at Angele like looking at an enemy.

Suman's brow furrowed and Mincola was glaring at Angele with his eyes narrowed.

The smile slowly disappeared from Angele's face as the man pointed at him with a dagger. "You're right. I was the one that sent the assassins. However, I'm no longer the team leader. Don't worry."

He started explaining, "We were working for different organizations and I had to send those assassins."

Angele knew that he needed a good excuse because he did not want to fight. Suman and his team survived multiple assassinations, they had to be stronger than they looked.

"Mincola is my friend. Do you really think that you can escape the assassinations by yourself? You know that you would be dead already if the team was not led by me, right? The reason why I betrayed the Dark Wizard Tower is not just my mother." Angele looked at the campfire calmly as he explained.

"If you really can't trust me, I won't explain any further. I'll leave and you can treat it like we've never met."

Suman remained silent for a while and his expression finally loosened. He looked like his team members.

"I trust you, but several of our team members were killed by the assassins…"

"Do you know Count Wheat? I don't like him at all and the main force was sent by him. There were some elites in my team that never followed my orders, like Victoria." A bitter smile appeared on Angele's face. He was talking nonsense. Angele made it look like that he hated the Dark Wizard Tower and his elite team never followed his orders. He sounded like he was a spy that was sent to the Dark Wizard Tower by the alliance.

"Come on, let's all calm down. We would already be dead if Green was not the leader of the team. Green helped us and we should not go too hard on him." Sella smiled and tried to help Angele.

Bella and Messiah looked at Suman.

Suman remained calm, he stared at Angele for a while and said, "You're right, Sella. We thought that we escaped the assassination because we were lucky, but it seems like Green was the reason why we survived and we should thank him for that."

"Our goal is the same. We need to figure out a way to stop the Dark Wizard Tower."

"We should have some rest and head to the world altar in the afternoon." Suman sat down and returned his scimitar into the sheath. "Let's just rest for now."

Messiah slowly lowered his dagger and sat down, but it seemed like he still did not like Angele.

Angele was still smiling, he sat down by the campfire and it looked like that he was thinking about something.

Becky had a blank expression on the face, but she knew that Angele was lying.

Time passed.

RUMBLE*

The thunder almost made the whole cave shake.

Suman suddenly stood up. "Sella, what happened? Contact Dorman now!"

Sella quickly took out a fist-sized crystal orb and rubbed it slightly. White light flashed on the orb, but it disappeared quickly and nothing happened.

"I can't, the energy wave outside is too strong and I can't get in touch with Dorman!" Sella spoke anxiously.

"Messiah, go check the situation. Get ready everyone!" Suman looked at Messiah.

"Sure." Messiah nodded and he was about to head outside.

"Don't." Angele pointed at the crystal orb. "I can check the situation using the orb."

He smiled and rubbed on the surface of the crystal orb. Shifting images were quickly displayed in the orb.

On the snow land, hundreds of knights in white armor were charging to an eagle with two heads on the other side.

One of the eagle's wings was injured. It was trying to attack the knight using the other wing. The knights were blown away one by one. The knights would be injured or killed every time the eagle swung its wing.

The eagle's body was surrounded by dark smoke and its red eyes looked like two spinning vortexes.

"An abomination eagle! One of the war beasts from the Dark Wizard Tower. The knights probably followed the eagle here. The war started!" Messiah said.

"What should we do, Suman?"

"We should move now! The Dark Wizard Tower's defense is weak right now and this our chance!" Suman spoke in a deep tone. "Green, do you want to go with us?"

Angele was a bit surprised, he thought Suman was not going to let him join the team.

"Of course, we have the same goal." Angele grabbed the crystal orb.

"I wouldn't be here if I can find the route myself."

"With Green, we'll have a much easier time to win the fights and complete the mission." Mincola was relieved.

"Good. Let's start moving now!" Suman aimed at the campfire. The fire was frozen and extinguished quickly.

Angele narrowed his eyes, he had no idea what Suman did. There was no energy movement at all, it almost looked like Suman extinguished the fire using his hand, but he did not understand why the fire was frozen for a second.

The team started moving out of the cave quickly.

Angele stayed in the center of the team. It seemed like Suman and his teammates had not fully trusted him yet.

The Blade Dancer was right beside him. The woman was around 30 years old, she did not talk a lot and her hands were on the handles of her swords.

They left the cave and met Dorman safely. Sella sprinkled some powder in the air and Messiah span the ruby on his golden dagger several times.

The team quickly disappeared into the air like they were never here.

Mincola chanted the incantation and their bodies were lightened greatly. It was a simple but effective spell.

"Leave no trace behind," Suman warned. "Mincola, explain our route to Green when we're moving."

"Sure, no problem." Mincola moved to Angele and started explaining through energy particles.

The team was moving to the opposite direction of the battlefield. The only thing making noise was the wind and the heavy snow covered the thin footprints they left on the ground.

The team went around the abomination eagle and rushed to the right. The fighting noise slowly faded away, Suman stopped and entered a cave.

Angele learned about the route through the information Mincola sent him.

"You mean there's a sewer built by the ancient wizards? That's new… Are you saying there's an ancient city under the ground?" he questioned.

"This is one of the legendary cities, the City of Dream." Mincola moved as he explained, "Dream Lord had a battle with two other wizard lords and destroyed this city. The whole city sunk into the ground after the battle."

Angele hesitated for a second and looked at the sky before they entered the cave.

Under the white clouds, there were black flying mounts fighting against white flying mounts. Feathers and bloody flash were falling. There were also countless energy explosions in the sky. The wizards kept summoning storm elementals and wind elementals.

In the center of the sky, a man in black and a man in white were hitting each other while releasing translucent energy waves. The intense energy movement drove the clouds away and it almost looked like there was a hole in the sky.

"What happened?" Mincola turned his head around and the others also stopped.

"Nothing, I just want to look at the sky… for one last time." Angele glanced at the sky, turned around, and ran to the team.

They advanced for around ten minutes in the cave and passed through a large spider web. They entered a room with glowing blue walls.

Suman stepped into the room and checked the walls. "It's just normal glowing substance."

"Is this the first time you're here?" Angele suddenly asked.

"Yes, why?" Suman looked at Angele, he was confused.

"Be careful, everyone. This wall is…" Angele noticed that there was an incense table behind a door on the left, covered with white spider webs.

He pointed at the incense table and released a ray of red flames.

WOO*

The flame landed on the table.

The walls started burning, it looked like the flames ignites all the walls. The flames in the room were intense and they could barely see the blue glow.

Suman and his team quickly stepped out of the room.

Sella hesitated for a second and said, "This is the… tunnel guard?"

A stone pillar appeared on one of the burning walls and the stone pillar formed a blue flower bud.

The flower bud was surrounded by red flames and slowly blossomed. The flower petals of the blue flower were translucent. A human eye and a mouth appeared in the center of the flower.

"Password required." The flower was speaking the universal ancient language.

"What does it mean?" Suman and his team had no idea what the flower was talking about.

Angele was a bit speechless, he was not sure why password was required here.

He stepped forward and explained, "Password is a code or some specific words. You'll need it to pass this area or you'll be attacked."

"A code…?" Suman started thinking.

"Stone wall," Bella suddenly said.

"Yeah, it must be stone wall!" Suman clapped his hands. He was excited and said some words in a strange tone that sound it was from a monkey.

The flower spoke again, "Password correct. You can pass now."

CHI*

The flames in the room extinguished as the blue glow faded away. The blue flower was also absorbed by the wall.

"Let's move!" Suman said and walked to the exit on the other side of the room.

"Thanks for your help." Sella walked to Angele and said, "We might still need your help later…"

"No worries. We're pursuing the same goal now." Angele smiled and stopped talking.

Chapter 510: Prediction (1)

The team passed through the room and entered a dark tunnel.

The arched tunnel was covered with white spider webs and they could hear rats rushing through the tunnel.

Angele glanced around, but the only thing he could see was darkness.

Suman was in front of the team; the torch he was holding brightened up the area around the team.

"From now on, please only cast spells when necessary so that the wizards above will not notice us. The sewer of the ancient city is not protected by any defensive devices so we have to proceed with caution."

"Understood."

"What about the temperature aura?" someone asked.

"Same for the temperature aura," Suman responded.

Mincola and Sella were a bit speechless. Their bodies were weak and they could not handle extreme cold.

After the temperature aura was deactivated, the tunnel was much colder than before.

Suman was leading the team in the front and Angele was still in the middle of the team.

BAM*

A loud noise came from up ahead; it sounded like something fell.

Suman's brow furrowed, he drew his scimitar and stopped.

"I'll go take a look, proceed with caution. Messiah, go check the rear end."

"Sure."

The two left the team and started moving slowly.

Angele stood in the middle of the team. Bella trusted him a bit more after the incident, but she was standing close to Angele with her hands on the sword handles.

Becky was walking beside Angele and Mincola was checking on her constantly.

"They still don't trust you." Becky sent these words through energy particles. Angele restricted her ability to cast spells, but she could still transfer words using energy particles.

"Of course, they wouldn't even talk to me if they don't need my help." Angele shrugged slightly.

He looked at Suman.

Suman was slowly advancing with the torch in hand; suddenly, his body blurred and made some loud noise.

"Suman! What happened!" Sella questioned right away.

Suman waved his hand and said, "I'm alright, but I found something strange. Come here, everyone."

The team quickly moved to Suman and noticed that Suman's body was sinking into the ground. The bricks on the ground all broke into pieces.

The bricks under Sella's feet also broke and she started sinking as well.

"Huh?" Mincola sounded confused. He walked to the right of the Sella and Suman.

Suddenly, he slowly floated in the air. It almost looked like he was flying.

"What…?" Suman and the other team members all looked at Mincola.

"This is probably the legendary force trap…" Mincola was not sure if he was correct.

"Gravity trap to be exact." Angele raised his arms and it felt like someone was pressing his arms down as he leaned forward slightly.

"Huh? Do you know anything about the trap, Green?" Mincola looked at Angele.

"Yeah, gravity trap will prevent small creatures or insects from moving through the area. It's designed by the ancient wizards and it shouldn't be a problem for us." Angele nodded. "Areas like this are usually safe, but we still need to proceed with caution."

Messiah stepped forward and said, "Let's keep moving then. Let me lead the way."

The team started advancing again; the gravity was constantly changing randomly.

Time passed slowly. Around 20 minutes later, they finally saw something different ahead.

A woman with long blonde hair appeared in Angele's sight.

The woman was wearing a gray cloak, her skin was clean, she had large breasts and long legs—the woman's body was quite attractive.

She was standing on the left quietly, not moving. She was wearing a brown leather skirt and tight leather armor. The outfit was quite revealing.

The woman was facing the other side and her face was covered by a golden helmet. The only thing Angele could see was her back.

"Hey!" Messiah shouted with the dagger in hand. "Are you alive?"

The woman did not respond.

"Be careful, this is a sewer of an ancient city."

"Don't worry, it's just a dead body, I think," Angele spoke. "She was probably left here by the ancient wizards. It's a special punishment called Devour; but, her location is a bit strange."

"Devour? I've heard about it," Mincola interrupted, "however, I don't think the body should be here."

"Let's go take a look." Angele shrugged and stepped forward. He moved closer to the woman.

Angele walked to the woman and covered his right hand with black armor. He took the helmet off the woman's head and turned her around.

"Damn…"

The team members all inhaled deeply.

Suman walked to Sella with a strange expression on his face.

"Well, at least her body looked great… I guess imagination is always better than the reality…" Messiah wanted to observe the woman's body before he saw her face.

Angele smiled. "I didn't expect her to look like that. I thought she must be a beauty..."

The woman's face was extremely weird. It was not rotten and her skin was still clean.

However, the woman had the face of a middle-aged man with a long beard. The face just did not fit her balanced body.

Suman stepped forward and said, "Alright, let's keep moving. According to the information I collected, there are three more dangerous areas ahead." He started advancing again.

More and more dead bodies that looked like statues appeared in the tunnel as they walked. Most of the dead bodies were perfectly preserved and it almost looked like they were just sleeping.

"Be careful, everyone!" Suman advised. "The first dangerous area is ahead."

"What do you think, Green? There are so many dead bodies here." Mincola looked at Angele and Becky.

"I think we just need to be careful. The nest of spider men is ahead. The spider men consumed their brains and preserved their bodies using poison. That's why they look like they're alive," Angele responded in a calm tone. "Spider men are weak, even apprentices can handle them; the only problem is the spider queen."

"Spider men, huh? I didn't expect to see them here." Sella took out a notebook from the pouch and started writing things down. "You know a lot, Green."

"I collected information from random books." Angele smiled.

The team increased their speed.

The walls of the tunnel were covered with white spider webs and it almost looked like the tunnel was frozen. However, the tunnel was not cold at all and they could feel the warmth as they advanced.

The further they walked, the more spider webs were there in the tunnel.

The team prepared their weapons and proceeded with caution.

CHI*

Suddenly, they could hear insects making noises ahead.

A white shadow appeared in the light from the torch. The team stopped and looked at the white shadow. The men on the team were a bit excited.

Messiah whistled and said, "So, these are the spider men? I think the nobles of the countries will love it. They'll pay a big price for them."

"She's beautiful…" Sella praised. As a female, she also thought the creature she saw was pretty.

What they met was a spider girl that was half naked. The bottom half of her body was that of a spider and translucent. Her long black hair was smooth like seaweed.

The girl stared at the team members and her sight fell upon Suman. Her upper body was naked and it seemed like she did not care that her breasts were exposed to the air.

Strangely, the girl looked innocent and lovely for some reason.

CHI*

The noise was from her mouth and it almost sounded like she was asking something.

Mincola's brow furrowed. "She was speaking the spider language and I can understand some of it. Be careful, everyone, she might be a threat."

"Don't worry. Spider men are weak and they shouldn't be a threat to us," Angele interrupted. "I think she's asking if we want to reproduce with her. Spider men want to strengthen their bloodline by reproducing with stronger beings. They think that stronger partners will bring them stronger children."

"We? With spiders? How do we even do it…" Messiah looked speechless. "I'll volunteer if you tell me how to have sexual intercourse with this thing."

"Well, it depends… You just need to accept their body features…" Angele blinked his eyes.

"They have pretty faces and their bodies are soft. That's part of the evolution. Most importantly, the spider men's gender will change based on how you want them to be." Angele chuckled and explained, "So, if you're really interested, just go ahead and do it. Don't worry, spider men won't attack the strong beings that are willing to reproduce with them. Also, I heard that some people think the spider men give them more pleasure than human beings."

"I'll pass…" Messiah glanced at Bella and gave up.

"Let's keep moving then, I'll handle her." Angele stepped forward and drew a black dagger slowly.

The spider girl was scared, she took several steps back.

"This is the first time I saw a living spider man and I want to do some experiments." Angele rubbed the blade of the dagger coated with a red glow. The blade was eye-catching in the darkness.

"Wait, Green, what are you going to do?" Sella suddenly questioned.

"I'm going to dissect her here so I can do experiments later, why?" Angele waved his dagger, it was just a normal procedure for him.

"She's young… and I think she wasn't the one who killed those people…" Sella looked at the spider girl.

Angele nodded. "You're probably right. I think her ancestors did it."

"Can you let her leave?" Sella stared at Angele in the eyes.

Angele was a bit surprised after he heard that and looked at the others.

Suman and Bella supported Sella's words, but Messiah remained silent. Dorman was just standing there with a smile on the face.

Mincola could understand why Angele wanted to kill the spider girl, but there was a bitter smile on his face.

"Seriously? You too?" Angele decided to remain silent after finishing these words.

Angele had no idea how Suman's team survived in the wizard world, they were too naive.

However, he finally understood why Mincola decided to stay in Suman's team.

Angele looked at the spider girl who was shaking. Dissection was normal for wizards, but the people in Suman's team were asking him not to do that.

He noticed that Suman's team was so different that it almost felt like they did not belong to the wizard world.

"Are you taking pity on the spider girl?" He wondered.

"Will you still protect her if she's the one who killed those people? You can't judge something just by its looks."

"I'm not judging her by her looks. I can feel that this girl is not going to hurt any of us," Sella answered calmly.

CHI CHI*

The spider girl realized that the team would not kill her so she moved closer to them.

Angele wanted to collect the new bloodline; fresh bloodline and the bloodline he extracted from the bones were different, however, it seemed like he would not be able to do it in this situation.

He lowered his dagger slowly. "Fine then. I won't do it if you insist."

"Let's go," Suman said. They noticed that Angele's thoughts were completely different from theirs.

They walked past the spider girl and started advancing again.

The spider girl followed after them, but she kept a distance from the crew.

They passed through the spider webs, but the spider girl was still following them.

Messiah was confused. "Why is she following us?"

"Maybe she wants to join us," Angele responded. "She noticed that we decided not to hurt her. She probably lives in the sewer and eats rats or insects. The girl doesn't want to be alone after she realized that we could communicate with her."

"We should ask her why she is following us," Sella suggested.

The team members all agreed.

Mincola talked to the spider girl using the spider language, but it seemed like she still feared Angele.

The spider girl moved closer to Sella.

Mincola asked the spider girl with Sella's question.

The spider girl hesitated for a second and glanced at the team.

"Who do you like the most in our team?" Mincola questioned.

The spider girl's sight fell upon Angele.

"Me?" Angele was surprised, the other team members were also surprised.

The spider girl walked to Angele, but she still kept a distance from him.

"Are you kidding me?" Messiah had high expectations because he was confident in his own power.

"That guy was trying to dissect you!"

"Green is the strongest being here. She just wants to reproduce with the strongest one in the team," Mincola guessed.

"You're just a spider. Get out of my way!"

BAM*

Becky kicked the spider girl in the stomach and she almost hit the wall.

She sneered and stepped forward.

Angele had an innocent expression on the face. "Sorry, it seems like my partner is jealous. She won't let me have fun with other girls because she loves me so much."

"Are you serious?!" Becky sent the words through energy particles. "You controlled my body. I have nothing to do with this and now you're saying that I love you?"

"I had to do it," Angele responded quickly.

"Alright, alright, calm down," Suman said. "We're not here to play. Sella, ask the spider girl to follow you. Mincola, please ask her some serious questions so we can learn more about the sewer."

"Sure."

The spider girl hid behind Sella after she was kicked away. It seemed like she had given up on Angele. She was rubbing her face and breast against Sella's body.

Mincola asked her several questions and the team started advancing again.

The tunnel was getting wet.

There was gray mud on the ground, soaked in some liquid.

The further they advanced, the muddier the ground became.

"That's it." Suman remembered something and his expression turned serious. "If I'm not mistaken, this must be the first dangerous area."

Angele checked the stone walls quickly.

The walls were covered with yellow mud.

"Ah!" Sella suddenly screamed. "Something is trying to grab me!"

Angele noticed that pairs of women's hands appeared in the mud and were trying to grab the team members.

"Don't move!" Bella drew her swords and slashed through the hands.

The hands were all cut into pieces after just one hit.

Bella slowly lowered her swords and the hands on the ground turned into mud.

Sella was the only one that was attacked. A pair of handprints was left on her ankles; they were turning dark.

Sella gritted her teeth and took out some white herb. She broke the herb into pieces and applied them on the wound.

Green smoke rose from her ankles; the handprints faded, but they were still on her skin.

CHI CHI*

The spider girl walked to Sella and pressed on her wound. A lot of white smoke rose from her ankles.

"Great!" Sella looked happy. "Thank you!"

Angele crouched in front of Becky and watched the hands that were broken by her turn into mud.

"Are you alright?" Mincola looked at Angele.

"I'm fine. I just want to study this thing. I tried to collect the broken hands using a container, but I failed. My container melted after it contacted the mud."

Angele stood up and the team started moving again. They started checking the mud on the ground constantly.

All the mud they encountered later attacked them. They dodged all the attacks and the tunnel ahead branched out.

They stood in front of the two tunnels and hesitated.

Suman took out a black map and checked the route. "I don't see any branch here."

He hesitated and turned around. "There are two tunnels ahead, but I don't know which one will lead me to the destination. I decided to enter the tunnel on the right."

"We'll go with you," Sella said, "but what about Green…?"

Angele noticed that the others were staring at him. He knew that the team did not like him. He was once the leader of an assassin team; also, Suman and his friends were too naive.

"I heard that the doors of the ancient city are protected by codes. I don't think I can unlock the doors."

"Don't worry, it has been years and I think the codes are no longer working," Suman explained. "Also, only one of the tunnels will lead us to the destination."

Suman had similar thoughts about Angele as the other team members. He just could not trust the man. Also, Angele did not hesitate when he drew the dagger and tried to dissect the spider girl. He could feel that the man was cruel and it seemed like the spider girl considered Angele the strongest being in the team.

"Alright, then. I'll choose the other tunnel and I'll see you later." Angele glanced at the spider girl one last time before leaving.

"Let's go, Becky."

Becky snorted and followed Angele into the tunnel on the left. They disappeared from the team's sight quickly.

Suman's expression loosened as Angele and Becky left.

He raised his hands and stopped the others from talking. They walked for a while before Suman suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Mincola, he's gone now, what were you trying to say?" He looked at Mincola with a serious expression on the face.

"There's a problem. The spider girl fears Angele due to her instinct. It was not due to how Angele treated her. I heard that white spider girl could see the future and I wonder what she saw."

"See the future?" Sella dragged the girl to her. "You mean this girl could predict the future? Is this part of her ability?"

"You're right, her ability is special. Although Green has the same goal as us and I think things will be fine, I just don't know why the spider girl fears him so much. Let me ask her." Mincola looked at the spider girl and spoke in the spider language.

The spider girl hesitated for a second when she heard the question, but she still responded.

"The sky and the ground are torn apart…" Mincola translated. "I can see dead bodies, many dead bodies. So many creatures were killed that their bones formed mountains… That man is dangerous and strong!"

Suman was surprised after he heard those words.

"Is this real? That's our future?" Messiah wondered.

Mincola shook his head. "I'm not sure, but I'm certain that Green is not telling the truth if the spider girl is not lying to us. What do you think, Sella?"

"I don't think the spider girl is lying." Sella shook her head.

Mincola's brow furrowed, he tried to talk to the spider girl again, but she just kept shaking her head.

"What are you doing, Mincola?" Sella asked.

"I want her to use her ability on Green so that we'll know the truth. I want to make sure that our mission can be completed. I don't know if Green is a threat to us or not."

Sella hesitated for a second and patted the girl's head. "Help us, please."

The spider girl was moved by Sella's gentleness. She looked at Sella in the eyes and slowly nodded.

Closing her eyes, the spider girl's body started shaking and a spider mark appeared between her eyebrows.

The team was waiting for the result quietly.

Several minutes later, the spider girl's face turned pale and there was blood leaking out of her mouth. It seemed like she was suffering from severe pain.

BOOM*

The girl's head exploded, her brain and blood splashed on Sella's body.

Everyone was surprised by what happened.

Chapter 512: Immolation (1)

Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu

Angele walked down the tunnel slowly with Becky following him.

They did not cast any spell to brighten up the area. They just advanced in the darkness since Angele had no problem seeing things ahead.

He noticed the road ahead was no longer wet.

"It seems like we chose the right tunnel," Becky said.

"If nothing happens, this tunnel may not lead us to the destination."

Angele turned at the corner and found a collapsed tunnel ahead, the path was completely blocked by broken stone pieces.

He walked to the stones and pressed on a stone with his eyes closed.

Several minutes later.

"Let's teleport through the tunnel. The two tunnels will merge into one ahead. I'll go through it first and you can teleport to my location using the bloodline ability."

BAM*

Angele disappeared into a ball of dark flames.

On the other side of the collapsed tunnel.

In the darkness, red light flashed in the tunnel and Angele recreated his body. Some white light flashed beside him and turned into Becky.

They could hear the noise made by the rats; a rotten smell permeated the air.

With a flick of Angele's finger, a pink aura appeared around his feet. He remained silent as he started advancing.

His footsteps were quite loud in the tunnel, echoing.

Becky hated the dirt on the ground and decided to stay away from it.

There were balls of black sticky liquid on the ground, they were wet and stinky.

"How long do we have to walk?" Becky was getting impatient.

"Calm down. We're getting close. I know where Mincola is and our direction is correct. Don't worry." Angele increased his ability slightly.

Time passed.

Several hours later, Becky wanted to say something else again, but Angele stopped her.

"Something isn't right. The two tunnels will merge ahead and it must be Suman's team. They're in trouble. We should check on them."

On the other side of the tunnel.

The walls of the tunnel were glowing. Suman held a scimitar and was staring at a man that was walking to him. Sella, Mincola, Messiah, and Dorman were lying on the ground.

Bella was leaning against the wall, one of her swords broken. She supported her body using the other sword. She was not sure if she could stay conscious if she fell to the ground as well.

"Damn… This guy was waiting here the whole time." Suman inhaled deeply, he could feel that his lungs were burning and there was blood in his throat. Suman used most of his power and his lung was slightly damaged for that.

"Guys, are you still alive?" he questioned in a low voice.

Messiah who lay on the ground responded in a low voice, "We're alright. Don't worry."

"If we can't figure out a solution, we'll lose the ability to fight back. Mincola, do you have anything that can help us?" Sella asked; she sounded weak.

"I would've used it if I had one." There was a bitter smile on his face. "The man has an aura that reduces our stamina gradually and the effective range is incredible. Also, the man is definitely stronger than us since we didn't even last a minute in his aura. There'd be nothing I can do even if I had a secret technique."

"I didn't expect the Dark Wizard Tower to guard a random spot with a strong wizard." Suman was speechless. "Damn, not again!"

He suddenly jumped to the left and some twisted energy waves exploded where he'd stood.

The man walked toward Suman. He was a strong man with a muscular body. The man had no hair, no beard, and no eyebrows. His face was smooth and clean. The man's paper eyes were coated with a silver glow and it felt like there was liquid flowing in his eyes.

"Sorry, young ones. Your journey will end here." He walked to Suman slowly with a strange smile on the face. His upper body was naked, but it was covered in wounds left by Suman's scimitar.

Suman lowered his body and inhaled deeply. "I haven't used all my power yet."

"Qansi!" he shouted.

CHI*

Color disappeared from the tunnel, the world turned black and white.

Everything stopped moving.

Messiah and Bella's bodies were surrounded by purple light and dark blue light, it seemed like they could still move.

Sella and the other team members all stopped moving.

The muscular man was also stopped by the concept gear, but it seemed like he did not care.

'Same crap.' Suman tried to guess what the man was thinking.

He inhaled deeply and slowly slashed forward using the scimitar.

CHI*

Suman's body turned into a silver line, charging at the man.

He was aiming at the enemy's throat; the scimitar was moving so fast that it felt like there was wind blowing.

However, the scimitar was stopped when it was several centimeters away from the man's throat.

Green blood veins appeared on Suman's face and his muscles' size increased like crazy. There were tiny red dots on the surface of his skin, it seemed like the capillaries in his body were breaking.

A golden rune appeared on the blade of the scimitar. The rune started glowing and intense golden light covered the man's body.

WOO*

Color returned to the world slowly after the noise.

Suman's scimitar hit the man's throat and blood was running down the man's neck.

"It's over." Suman moved his scimitar away and took several steps back.

The man could not believe what just happened and tried to stop the bleeding, but he failed. A green glow surrounded his hands; it seemed like he was trying to heal the wound. Nothing worked, he fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Mincola stood up and asked, "How much power did you release?"

Suman lowered his scimitar and responded, "Around 82%."

"That was a short distance and you released 82% of the concept gear's power…" Mincola's expression changed. "Should we keep moving?"

"I'll take care of the rest. You guys should head back. The enemies we encounter will be stronger as we advance further. Although we can stop them from sending the information out, we'll be detected sooner or later," Suman spoke in a low voice.

"What are you talking about? We're here for the same goal!" Messiah shouted. "Bella and I also put our hands on concept gears so that we can move even when the time is paused. We'll go with you. Sella, Dorman, and Mincola, you should head back."

Suman shook his head. "I can activate the sun rune five more times and I can make it to the end. Alright, let's stop wasting time. Also, you know that I can escape when necessary. Don't worry."

Suman's team quickly recovered after the man was eliminated. They all stood up and checked their condition.

"Just go. We have no time to waste." Suman returned the scimitar to the sheath and hugged Sella. "I need to start moving. Wait for my good news." He finished the word and disappeared into the darkness.

Messiah and Bella followed after Suman. Mincola, Sella, and Dorman were speechless, but they knew there was nothing they could do.

"Alright, let's head back. We'll become their burden if we decide to go with them. Suman has to rely on the concept gear to deal with the enemies," Dorman said.

They were a bit disappointed, but what Dorman said was true. They turned around and decided to head back.

BAM*

Suman, Messiah, and Bella were blown away by the impact, they rolled several times on the ground and stopped after hitting the wall.

CHI*

The colors disappeared from the world. Suman stood up and charged forward.

BAM*

With a noise, Suman was blown away again, his face pale. He stabbed the scimitar into the wall. The tip of the scimitar left a black trail on the wall—that was the only way to handle the impact.

Suman had no time to think, he just shouted, "Bella!"

CLANK*

Fire sparked in the tunnel ahead before he could say anything else. Messiah rushed to Suman with Bella in his arms after he dodged the attack made by a large hammer.

BAM*

The hammer left a large hole in the wall. Broken pieces of stone and dust were everywhere.

A creature that was half human and half snake appeared. He was holding a hammer in one hand and a shield in the other. Intense yellow light surrounded the man's body.

"Concept gear? That's how you sneaked into the sewer." The snake man sneered. "My name is Anman and this will be the ending for you."

The snake man swang his hammer and some yellow energy waves spread into the air.

"Wait! He's trying to inform the Dark Wizard Tower. We need to hurry. We'll have no chance if the Dark Wizard Tower decides to send more people here." Suman pulled his scimitar out of the wall and charged at the man.

Bella stopped Suman and said, "Let me handle this guy. You need to go, we don't have much time left and we can't let the Dark Wizard Tower summon the Dream Lord."

Suman and Messiah exchanged eye contact.

"Take care, Bella." They tried to move past the snake man from left and right.

The snake man tried to stop them, but he was attacked by a short sword with black strings on the blade. It seemed like the black strings were formed by some mysterious energy and the snake man had to block the strike.

Clank*

Messiah and Suman successfully passed the snake man.

"Damn! I'm going to devour you!" The snake man was enraged; he charged at Bella at full speed.

Angele was still in the other tunnel; he looked confused.

"Suman's team separated into two after they encountered the enemy, but we haven't seen anything. I already casted a spell and I think this might be an abandoned tunnel. Let's move faster, we just need to find the altar."

Becky had a blank expression on the face. "There's no point to explain it to me. You can do whatever you want."

"We're partners, you know." Angele smiled and patted Becky's shoulders. They started advancing again.

They turned to the right and proceeded with caution.

Finally, they heard people fighting ahead. Angele checked the energy waves they released quickly.

Angele increased his speed again and grasped forward using his right hand. A large rock appeared on the ground and turned into a one meter wide and three meters long blade.

He did not check the situation, he just grabbed the blade and slashed forward.

BAM*

Broken pieces of stone splashed in the air with a noise and the two people that were fighting ahead quickly leaped away from each other.
