Angele smiled but he did not respond to Heli right away.
"Fra, can you go find us some fruits? You know the place, right? The fruits are good to eat now."
Fra pursed her lips and jumped off the cart.
Angele opened his mouth again after he made sure that Fra had already left the area.
"I don't want the kid to know too much about the church, so I asked her to leave. Alright, I have one serious question for you. Who injured Cynthia?"
Heli looked at Cynthia, Cynthia's fists tightened after hearing those words.
"Next time… I'll kill him the next time… I don't need you to save me!" Cynthia glared at Heli.
Heli was a bit speechless after hearing that.
"Huh? Heli was the one that saved you?" Angele was surprised. He looked at the old mercenary.
Cynthia pursed his lips.
"Well, this guy was… whatever…" He did not finish the sentence.
"I just wanted to help you so I ran to you and picked you up. I didn't even realize I was running with you in my arms." Heli scratched his head. "The strange holy knight didn't catch up."
The atmosphere in the cart got awkward after the conversation.In a palace somewhere far from the forest.
The clean floor in the main hall was as reflective as a mirror. The engravings on the walls were nice and beautiful. There was sunlight coming through the openings on the walls which brightened up the whole hall.
There were two groups of people in the main hall. The ones on the left were knights in silver armor and the ones on the right were black robes from the church.
The sunlight was reflected off their outfits and armors, surrounding them with golden glow.
"What's the next topic?" an old man that was sitting in front of the two groups questioned.
One of the black robes stepped forward and responded, "About the wizards in the east. We need to eliminate them."
A knight stepped forward and spoke, "Master Rayton is heading to the east, it won't be a problem."
"Master Rayton headed to the south, I believe. Also, he hasn't finished taking care of the Misfortune Scale yet," the black robe sneered. "If we need more people to go to the east, I can recommend someone to you."
"Master Rayton is the rightful owner of the eastern territory, we don't need your help!" the knight responded in a cold tone; the light around his armor was getting intense. It almost felt like that the intensity of the light would change when the knight's emotions changed.
"Well, that's the problem. We can't just let the wizards do whatever they want in the east." The smile disappeared from the black robe's face.
"I suggest that we send Bishop Angria to the east before the wizards travel to other regions."
"You never learn. Do you even remember what happened the last time? I know you and Bishop Angria are close, but…" another holy knight interrupted.
"We would've won the battle if you holy knights did your job. The Moon Plate was not sealed because you failed your mission!" Another black robe joined the conversation.
"If you sealed the plate, we would definitely stop them…"
"Well, you…"
The conversation turned into an argument and the whole hall got noisy.
"Ugh…" The old man in the seat took off his crown and rubbed his temples.
Several minutes later, the situation was getting out of control. The holy knights and the black robes almost started fighting. Pope realized that he had to stop it so he coughed several times.
The place finally became quiet again. The sounds in the area were all blocked by an invisible force field.
The holy knights and the black robes realized that they should stop. They returned to their positions and the invisible force field disappeared.
Pope picked up a sapphire scepter from the side and tapped the floor with it.
PA*
The echoing sound was crisp and clean.
Pope put down the scepter and spoke loudly, "Alright, calm down, everyone. Master Rayton just returned to us, we can listen to his report first."
BAM*
The heavy stone gate of the hall was pushed open.
A tall holy knight in silver armor with golden edges walked into the center of the hall quickly. He stepped on the thick fur blanket, his footsteps loud and heavy.
The holy knight was about two meters tall. There was a long silver hammer on the back of his muscular body. His arms had the width of an adult's leg. He was holding the golden helmet in the right hand, slowly pulling the metal glove off his left hand.
Strangely, there were two long tentacles on the man's cheeks. One was on the left cheek and the other was on the right cheek.
Also, his long white beard was around his chest and the long tentacles were on both sides of the beard.
The white tentacles were so long that they almost looked like part of his beard. The tentacles were waving in the air as the knight walked.
"Master Rayton, you're back…" the holy knights greeted the knight politely. However, the black robes did not even look at the knight named Rayton.
Rayton nodded, stepped forward, and kneeled on one knee. The heavy armor hit the floor and with a loud noise.
"I apologize that I failed to complete the mission." The man's voice was deep but hoarse. It almost sounded like an old man that was talking.
The holy knights were surprised after hearing those words but the black robes were happy about the result.
Pope's brow furrowed.
"So, what happened?"
Rayton lowered his head and thought for a second before responding.
"I almost killed Misfortune Scale, however, I was interrupted by a wizard with a strange bloodline and I lost them after that. Also, Misfortune Scale suddenly recovered from his memory loss. Although I tried my best to stop them, they still escaped. It was my fault."
"Recovered?" Pope narrowed his eyes. "It's not your fault, Rayton. Misfortune Scale has the ability to run and it's nearly impossible for you to stop him from escaping, the problem is we didn't expect him to recover…"
Rayton nodded. "Misfortune Scale won't be activated under normal circumstances, however, when there's pressure, he'll temporarily recover from his memory loss. We suggest that we make a good plan and ambush them."
"I'll let you handle this. You now have the right to give orders to our members in the south." Pope nodded. "Go now, you're the strongest holy knight of the church. God is watching us."
Rayton lowered his head. "God bless us."On a mountain that was covered with trees.
In a cave, a group of old men in black robes were sitting in a hall that was narrow and wet. They were all sitting on stone chairs that were white.
The yellow light from the burning torches on the walls was dim. There was a total of nine old men in the stone hall—they just sat there quietly with black leather paper in their hands. They were reading the intel that was recorded on paper. Their expression turned serious as they read through the papers, some of them almost trembling in fear.
Finally, someone opened his mouth. An old man with white hair stood up and spoke in a deep tone, "We need to relocate now! If the holy rings are here, we'll all be eliminated, just like what happened years ago!"
The old man's voice echoed in the stone hall as his word reminded the wizards of the terrifying event. The whole valley was filled up with blood and dead bodies of the wizards.
"How about the Ace shelter?"
"It was destroyed last month…" an old woman with just one arm responded.
"What about Rainbow Valley?"
"No idea. The leader of Rainbow Valley sent us a message, he asked all of us to relocate. There was a battle in the valley and I'm afraid that…"
"Yeah…" The wizard with white hair closed his eyes and he looked depressed.
The wizards remained silent for a while.
"Some say that Ace City will never be destroyed… Do we really have no way to fight against the holy knights?" The old man sat slowly; it seemed like he could not accept the reality.
"Yeah. The holy knights are too strong. The only thing they need is the holy ring. The ring turns them from mortals into wizard hunters," an old man with red hair said in a low voice.
"Also, the holy buff is way too strong, I don't even know how that is possible. Illusions, poison, curses, mind abilities, none of our attacks worked. They can recover from small injuries fast. Their strength, speed, and defense are all increased to an unbelievable level."
The wizards all agreed with what the old man just said.
"It's not the time to praise them, we need to find the next shelter as soon as possible," the old man with white hair interrupted. "The last time a knight with a holy ring found us, we lost more than ten wizards and a lot of golems. We can't let that happen again!"
He raised his scepter and a ball of white light appeared on top of it.
"Inform the leaders of other shelters, we need to find the next shelter and build the barriers. We need to leave before the church finds us. Without the barriers, we won't be able to defeat the ones with holy rings. The holy knights and black robes will crush us like stepping on insects."
"Yes, master!" The other wizards lowered their heads.

Chapter 578: Rescue (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Several days later.
The sky was dark and the clouds were thick.
There were around ten plates made of bamboo lying on the grass beside the camp. There were black bamboo shoots, white caterpillars, animal fur, and other random items, all bathing in the sunlight.
A girl that was around 14 years old in short leather skirt and tight leather armor was picking the bamboo plates up carefully.
The chilling wind was blowing the girl's long blonde hair, revealing she had a clean and pretty face. There was a thin birthmark on her forehead but it was barely noticeable.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. The leaves were almost flying on the branches.
"It's about to rain, hurry up, Fra!" A man's voice came from the tent behind the girl.
The man was by the entrance of the tent, watching Fra picking up all the plates.
"Another boring day…" the man said and yawned.
The man had long dark-red hair trailing over his shoulders, an average-looking face, and looked lazy. The mustache on his chin looked a bit strange. It was Angele—he rested for a while after Heli and Cynthia left.
Fra turned around and glared at Angele.
"If you're bored, why don't you come and help me?"
"You can do that by yourself, right?" Angele lay down and looked at the sky. "Fra, I think your body is growing well."
Fra blushed after hearing these words; she slowed down a bit.
The short skirt and the leather armor were both tight; she purchased them when she was 13 years old and the clothes were getting too small for her after she turned 14.
The girl's body was above average for her age—long legs, smooth skin, and slim waist. She almost looked like a well-made doll. Also, her breasts were larger than before and she had cherry-pink lips. Some of Fra's hair was flying in the air.
The girl was young but she might become a beauty after she grew up. The scene of Fra running around and picking up plates was quite interesting.
Angele was looking at the sky but he would glance at Fra from time to time.
"Your birthmark will be completely removed after you apply the potion I made for you on it several more times," he advised. "You were born with the birthmark but it can be removed."
Angele felt happy as he looked at Fra, he felt like that he was treating the girl as his daughter.
Fra was an average-looking girl and her face was covered with freckles. Her skin's condition got worse after she left the town. The sword technique training helped her build up muscles so she never looked like a cute girl from the city.
However, Angele decided to help Fra as they traveled together. He added the potions he made into Fra's diet—the potions made her skin smooth and elastic. He would also burn herbal incense during the night to help her body grow.
Fra's overall condition was improved after several months, she looked just like a girl that was cute and attractive. The only problem was that Angele used too many effective herbs and it seemed like he overdid it a bit.
"Don't you think you're much more beautiful than before? I'm the one who helped you." Angele was proud.
"What does that even mean?" Fra walked to the cart and put the bamboo plates down. "I'll become a legendary knight one day! A legendary knight's body is usually covered with scars. There's no point for me to have nice and clean skin."
Angele sighed speechlessly. "You should be more polite and gentler when talking. If you can do that, you'll be perfect."
He just assumed that Fra wanted a beautiful face and a nice body. He forgot that Fra had always wanted to become a knight.
"I've already told you that." Fra walked to Angele while breathing heavily. The bamboo plates were quite heavy. She put her hands on her waist and said, "I'm going to become a legendary knight!"
"You'll get married one day, kid…" Angele pursed his lips.
"Get married? I don't think so." Fra's expression turned serious. "Actually, we should get married. I'm your woman already, right? Also, my stomach doesn't feel well recently, am I pregnant?"
Angele shook his head. "Pregnant? No… We do sleep in the same cart but we don't even share the same blanket, how do you even get pregnant?" He put his right hand on the forehead. Angele was having trouble explaining everything to her.
"Anyway, you're the only one that would take care of me right now…" Fra looked a bit depressed. "My mother said that it was not hard to bear a child. She told me that it was just like puking. The child will come out of my mouth, right?" Fra continued.
"What are you talking about…" Angele inhaled deeply and was about to teach Fra some knowledge.
"Huh? The weather vane is pointing in the wrong direction." Fra suddenly stepped forward and adjusted the bronze weather vane. Angele was lying on the ground so he could easily see what was under her skirt.
"Come on…" Angele was speechless.
'I've lived for so long that I shouldn't find this young girl sexually attractive…' The girl's legs were right above his head.
'Well, I should probably move…'
Angele turned around and returned into the tent. He was sexually aroused for some reason but he knew that Fra would never become his partner. Fra was a mortal and Angele was a bloodline inheritor, their life expectancy was way too different.
It had been years since the last time he had sex with a woman. Angele put all his efforts into his research; he helped Fra because he was the reason why her family suffered. Although Fra was attractive to him, he always treated her like his daughter.
"That's a problem…" Angele inhaled deeply, a father should never get sexually aroused because of his daughter. He felt guilty that he had such a feeling.
"Hey, why did you go back to the tent? Our conversation hasn't finished yet." Fra's voice came from outside the tent.
"I don't want to do anything inappropriate to you," Angele responded honestly.
"Inappropriate? Well, I can understand. You're a man and I'm a woman…" Fra entered the tent as well. She moved to Angele and lay down.
"I don't mind. My mother said that virginity isn't worth a thing. However, we've been sleeping in the same tent for a long time and you never did anything to me."
Angele still felt speechless after hearing those words.
RUMBLE*
They suddenly heard thunder rumbling. The first raindrop landed on the tent, it was followed by the second and the third one. The rain got heavy quickly and the noise was extremely loud.
The tent was perfect for two people and the entrance could be sealed. There was a white bed, some clothes, and books in the tent. There was also a small window on the wall; they could see the outside through the window.
Angele sealed the entrance so the rain would not get into the tent. He turned around and saw that Fra already fell asleep. She was sleeping with her legs and arms open, it almost looked like that it was a boy that was sleeping.
He covered Fra with a blanket and it felt like he was taking care of a kid again. Angele enjoyed living with people like Fra. Fra was a simple girl that lost her family... Angele wondered if she would seek revenge in the future. He felt relaxed when Fra was around.
Time passed. The rain was getting heavier and heavier.
Lightning flashed in front of the window and brightened up the dark tent slightly.
Angele noticed that Fra's eyes opened slowly and she was staring at him. It seemed like she was woken up by the lightning and the thunder.
"Green…"
"Huh?" Angele straightened up his back and stood in front of the window with his legs crossed. He watched the rain pour as the forest was blurred by the raindrops in his sight.
"Why did you save me?" Fra suddenly questioned. She thought a lot during the trip.
"Why did I save you? I'm afraid that I can't answer this question." Angele looked out of the window, he thought of Vivian and recalled all the things he did for the wizards.
Fra sat up and looked at Angele.
"I never understood. I asked a girl that was older than me and she taught me a lot. Also, I rethought this whole thing…" She stopped for a second and continued, "Because of me, you can't find a safe place to live, and you had to stay in this forest. We're lucky that we didn't encounter any beast but why are you helping me?" She looked out of the window as well and lowered his voice. "I have nothing to pay you back with. I think you know that."
"Well, I hired you, right? You work for me and I'll feed you. It's a fair trade." Angele smiled. "Don't overthink it, kid."
Angele noticed that Fra hugged him from back before he could finish these words. He could feel the warm body of the girl.
Fra put her head on Angele's right shoulder.
"I'm not a kid anymore," Fra responded in a low voice. "I've read a lot of novels."
She moved closer to Angele as she spoke. Her face blushed and it looked like she was about to cry.
"Girl…" Angele turned around and grabbed Fra's hand.
"You're young and there's a bright future in front of you, also…" he suddenly stopped after seeing the tears that were running down Fra's cheeks.
"I have nothing left… You're the only one that's always by my side…" Fra cried. She sounded confused and helpless.
Fra was scared. The man in front of her had a mysterious background. She thought the man was just a boss of a pawnshop in the town, however, after they traveled together for a while, she realized that the situation was more complicated than she'd thought.
Also, how Angele healed Heli and Cynthia seemed impossible to her. She thought only the God had the ability to heal wounds like that. Fra finally realized that she never knew what the lazy boss was capable of.
She had this strange feeling that Angele was right in front of her but he was from a completely different world.
Fra would wake up at midnight from time to time due to the nightmares that were bothering her. She was desperate and depressed in the endless darkness of the night.
She was scared that Angele would leave without her knowing one night. She was scared that she would no longer be able to find Angele after she woke up at midnight.
"Alright, don't worry…" Angele hugged Fra and rubbed her hair.
"I'm right beside you…"
He looked at Fra's face. The girl was still a kid, however, Fra reminded him of the two other children he had taken care of.
Fra fell asleep in Angele's arms after she got tired.
Angele started thinking as he looked at the heavy rain outside the window.

Chapter 579: Rescue (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
After the day it rained, Fra never asked the question again; she behaved as nothing had happened. Angele decided to sleep in the tent and Fra would sleep in the cart.
If Fra needed to go to town and purchase daily supplies, she would go to the tent and sleep by Angele's side.
Also, Angele finally made some progress on the analysis of the strange force field. Six percent of the analysis was completed.
Time flew. Several months passed in the blink of an eye.
Angele explored the tomb on the other side of the river—the evil souls and dead bodies were all removed by him. He used the dead bodies to feed the fish. Angele modified the tomb and it looked like just like a normal cave now. Fra also helped him clean the place.
They broke the cart into parts and covered them using the tent. They then cleaned the camp and moved into the cave.
Heli and Cynthia visited Angele several times during the time. They asked Angele for help again; their injuries were almost fatal.
Angele also saw a new face in their team, a muscular man named Van. They said that he was an inheritor of an ancient race.
They told Angele that it was a holy knight named Rayton who injured them. They were defeated by Rayton many times.
Angele could see hatred in their eyes as they talked about Rayton.
After Angele moved into the cave, they visited him several more times. Fatal injuries almost became a common thing for them.In the bedroom of the cave, there was a black oil lamp on the wall. The flame in the lamp brightened up the whole bedroom but the light was a bit dim.
Angele lay in the middle of the bed; he spent four days studying the strange force field. He got so tired that he had to take a rest so he set up a simple rune circle and fell asleep.
Fra was right next to him—the girl was crying in dreams again. She was not restricted by the rune circle that Angele set up and it seemed like she was scared of living in a cave that was previously a tomb; she did not want to sleep alone so she decided to stay with Angele during the night.
Knock Knock*
Someone knocked on the wooden door quickly. The noise was loud and deep.
Some invisible smoke appeared in the cave when the door was knocked on. The smoke quickly formed a black circle and rotated around Angele's body.
A chilling feel climbed up Angele's spine.
He opened his eyes slowly.
BAM BAM BAM*
The noise got louder.
Fra opened her eyes as well; she was still sleepy.
"Not again…"
Angele shook his head speechlessly—he just realized that Fra was in his room again. He sat up and got off the bed, putting on a gray robe. He opened the door, walked upstairs, and unlocked the door.
The chilling air entered the cave right away. There was a heavy rain going on and he saw three people in black cloaks standing in front of the door.
"Sorry, we have to visit you again…" The black cloak in the front raised his head. It was Heli, his face was covered with blood.
PA*
Heli suddenly leaned forward and fell to the ground. He rolled down the stairs and stopped after hitting the floor. Heli's eyes were barely open, his hands were trembling, and he could not even get up.
"Andre, you know my sister, right?"
The other two people almost fell to the ground as well. Angele supported them with his arms and checked the situation outside. The sun was still rising and there was no one else around. He helped them get inside and quickly locked the door.
He dragged Cynthia and Van to Heli. The three lined up on the floor.
Angele crouched and questioned, "What happened to your sister? I assume it's Rayton again."
"Yeah, they captured my sister… Can you help me?" Heli responded. He wanted to grab Angele's hand but he could barely move.
"I'm not severely injured this time, I'm just tired." It seemed like Heli finally learned the truth. "I didn't know that my sister had always been protecting me until today…"
Angele smiled. "So, your sister asked you to come to me?"
"Yeah." Heli stared at Angele, looking confused. "I don't understand why he doesn't want to meet you. I'm always the one that does the talking. However, he said that if you can help me this time, he would consider talking to you face to face."
"He said he would consider?" Angele shook his head, he was not concerned. "There's one thing that you didn't get right. I helped you because of you and your sister, not him. Also, maybe it's an honor for others to meet him in person but I don't care. It won't make me feel better if I can talk to him in person."
Heli looked at Angele. He was not sure how he should respond.
"So, you already know who he is?"
"It's not important," Angele interrupted. "How should I help you?"
"I don't really know." There was a bitter smile on Heli's face. "What can you do?"
Angele rubbed his chin and thought for a second.
"Have some rest and talk to me later." He stood up and headed to a room on the other side.
Heli lay on the ground.
"People all have things they want, all of them! I'll meet him if he's honest." A cold voice echoed in his ears.
"Andre helped us so much, don't you think he already met the requirements?" Heli was speechless.
"No," the voice responded, "I said I might meet him in person because of you… Unless…"
"What? Just tell me. I'll fulfill your request if you can meet Andre face to face." There was dedication in Heli's eyes.Half an hour later…
In a room with basic medical equipment.
The stone bricks and the floor in the room were all yellow. It was a small room with four white beds for the patients. There was a counter, a table, and some chairs beside the beds.
Heli was sitting by a bed. He glanced at Angele and looked at the brown surface of the table.
There were white scissors, a silver ball, a red triangular card, and a brown metal ring on the table.
"The situation is complicated this time, we need to rescue the hostage from the church. You're a nice guy, Heli, so I'm going to give those items to you…" Angele pointed at the four items on the table.
He grabbed the white scissors. It almost looked like the scissors were made of plaster.
"This is a special tool that can fix one's damaged muscles but it can only be used twice. When I locate the damaged muscles, I'll stab the scissor into the muscle, and the scissors will fix everything for you quickly. Also, if you're severely injured, I just need to stab the scissors into your heart slightly, and you'll not take any damage for one glass hour. All the damage you take during the period will be reflected after the time passed so you must be careful when using it."
KA*
Angele moved the scissors slightly and made some noise.
"It's an incredible item…" Heli looked at the scissors, a hint of greed in his eyes.
Angele picked up the second item: an egg-sized silver ball.
"This is a special explosive I created, I only have one. Hit the ball on something hard and throw it at your enemy in three seconds. I modified this thing so it shouldn't hurt the one who throws the ball, however, you still need to be careful as it's very powerful…" Angele put down the ball carefully.
Heli was not impressed. He had seen many strong explosives but he knew that he could still use the ball when retreating.
Angele noticed the change of Heli's expression and laughed inwardly. When Heli found out that the effective range of the explosion was over 100 meters and the explosion could deal over 1000 degrees of damage, he would be shocked.
Normal holy knights would be killed instantly if they were caught in the explosion. Angele had fought against a legendary knight; without the holy light, a legendary knight would still be hurt.
Also, Angele already learned that Victor was just an average legendary knight and was slightly weaker than Rayton but the ball would still work on normal holy knights.
"Alright, the third item… This and the ring." Angele picked the two items up.
"They are two items, right?" Heli was a bit surprised.
"You can use them together." Angele chuckled. "If you ignite the card, the smoke from the burning card will double your speed and strength. The effect will last a fifth of one glass hour. Also, if you have the ring with you when burning the card, the smoke will double the recovery speed and defense ability of the people around you. The effective time will also be extended to three glass hours."
Heli's sight locked onto the ring and the card after hearing Angele's explanation.
Angele carefully handed the four items to Heli.
"They are yours now. Rest for a couple days and you can start the mission."
Heli grabbed the items carefully and stood up.
PA*
He suddenly kneeled in front of Angele to show his gratitude. "Thank you for your help!"
Angele did not expect Heli to do that, he quickly helped Heli to get up.
"I have my purpose. If you succeed, please let me extract some more blood from your body. I won't do that this time so you can save your strength for the mission.
He looked at Heli and scanned the man's body using the biochip.
Heli's bloodline was much stronger than before. Angele already created the fourth mentality crystal after he absorbed the bloodline essence the last time. However, he had not engraved any spell onto the crystal and the bloodline essence no longer worked after he created the crystal.
Angele guessed that maybe Heli's bloodline was still too weak.
What improved his bloodline was combat—his bloodline would be strengthened every time he survived a battle. Also, Angele noticed that Heli's bloodline was about to break the limit.
The "He" Heli talked about was the other persona inside his body, it was a combination of his memory and personality. The persona was called Misfortune Scale, however, Angele was not interested in it. The only thing he wanted was Heli's strengthened bloodline after Heli broke the limit.
He took out all the items that Heli could use from the mirror so the rescue mission would succeed.
"I'm going to have some rest for now."
"Sure."
Heli packed the items up, turned around, and left the room.
Angele sat in the chair. The blue light dots were still flashing in front of his eyes.
"It's about time… If he can survive the mission, it's highly likely that he'll break past the limit…"

Chapter 580: Breaking the Limit (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Heli's team rested in the cave for a while and left when the night fell. They were still wearing the black cloaks. They quickly disappeared into the forest with the items Angele gave them.
Angele stood by the entrance of the tomb and watched the group leave. He returned to the cave and closed the door after seeing something silver flashing on the far side.
He was about to walk down the stairs and noticed that Fra was looking at him.
"Andre, they are going to do something important, right? I asked them but no one said a thing…" Fra was worried.
"Don't worry. You're too young for that. Their mission can only be completed by adults," Angele mocked.
"Whatever!" Fra's face blushed and made a face at Angele. She then turned around and went to the kitchen. It seemed like she wanted to make some food for the night.
Angele walked down the stairs slowly.
'Should I follow them to the destination…?' Angele was wondering.
Angele thought the situation was much more complicated than they thought. He was a sealed form and had the power level of a rank 8 wizard, however, the church was funded by one of the strongest beings among the realms. The wizards in this area had no way to fight back and the root of the world probably already knew the situation. It was possible that they had a secret agreement.
He assumed that the church had the power to fight back if he decided to join the battle. Sealed forms were strong in weak realms but there were creatures who were stronger than them in other realms.
'A life-threatening experience will make their minds stronger… They should be fine…'
Angele kept walking and peeked into Fra's bedroom unintentionally. He noticed that the girl was hiding something under her pillow.
It was a book with brown cover. There was a line on the page.
Angele's eyesight was much better than mortals' and he could easily read it. His expression changed slightly after reading the line. He turned his head around and glanced at Fra, who was singing while cooking.
"Well, I guess it's understandable since she's a teenager now…" Angele shook his head and headed to the living room.
The line written on the book under Fra's pillow said, 'He was kissing Alice's lips like crazy and his hands were sliding down...'
The book was an erotic novel.
"Wait!"
Fra noticed that Angele was looking into her bedroom and screamed. She realized that Angele might've already found her secret.
"Why are you screaming… Have you finished preparing the food?" Angele sat in the chair with his legs crossed.
Fra stopped yelling and walked to the living room slowly. She sat down in the seat opposite to Angele and put down the food on a wooden table.
The girl was growing fast and the birthmark on her forehead had been completely removed by the potion. Her skin was also nice and clean. She was wearing a pair of tight white pants and a long white shirt. The size of her outfit fitted her body well, her long blonde hair and slim waist made her quite attractive. She looked just like a girl from a noble family in the chair.
Angele glanced at Fra.
"Well, it's common for teenagers at your age to read erotic novels." He grabbed the wine glass from the table and sniffed at the wine. It was refreshing and fruity.
Angele's long red hair trailed over his shoulders, he looked lazy and tired. He leaned against the chair and sipped some fruit wine.
"Marry me, Andre."
"What?" The wine spewed out of Angele's mouth and he quickly put the glass down.
"What did you just say?!" he questioned.
Fra straightened her back.
"Marry me, I said. Am I not attractive to you? I'd rather marry someone I know than a random stranger…" Her face blushed and she sounded shy.
"Aren't you going to become a legendary knight and avenge your family?" Angele almost choked on the wine.
"My targets were all dead… I heard about them a while ago, they were killed by someone in a forest by my town and none of them survived…" Fra was happy that those who killed her family were eliminated, however, she was a bit depressed that she did not get the chance to do it herself.
"I say I'm going to become a legendary knight all the time… But I know it's just a dream…"
Angele looked at the girl, he still remembered the days that the girl dressed like a boy but the situation was completely different. The girl almost had the mind of an adult.
"I've never thought of getting married. Also, it'll be dangerous if you stay with me all the time…" Angele calmed down and explained, "You know that I'm doing random research, right? The explosives I make might blow both of us into pieces."
"You're the only thing I have now… Also, we've slept on the same bed countless times, and I don't think other people will marry me after learning about that," Fra spoke in a low voice.
Angele's brow furrowed, the customs in this area were a bit strange due to the restrictions set up by the church. If Fra decided not to keep her experience secret, it would be hard for her to get married.
Some of the girls here treated their virginity seriously and the situation was totally different in the central continent. The ruler here was the church but the wizards had the power in the central continent.
Angele used to live in a remote area and learned more about it after they escaped the town. They met many people during the trip and acquired more information.
They sat opposite each other; the atmosphere got heavy.
They remained silent for a while. Angele grabbed a bowl of potato soup and took a bite on the walnut bread.
Fra started having food as well.
The only noise in the living room was made by the forks and knives.
Time passed.
Fra cleaned the table after the dinner, she then returned to the living room and stared at Angele. It seemed like she was still waiting for the answer.
"Fra, you're still young…" Angele did not want to hurt Fra's feeling. "You should think twice before making an important decision."
"I don't really care, the only thing I know is that I would be dead already without you. I might die just like my mother." Fra stared at Angele in the eyes, she did not even blink.
In Fra's opinion, Angele was a mysterious man—he was knowledgeable and it felt like that he came from a noble family. All the things he said were reasonable and it felt like that Angele was a perfect person. He was like the main character in a romance novel to a girl that grew up in a small town.
Fra wanted to get married to Angele because she was afraid that the man would leave her without her knowing. She had this feeling that if the man left her, she would never be able to find him.
"We can discuss this after you grow up…" Angele rubbed his temples, the girl was giving him a headache. He knew what Fra was thinking, however, Angele was doing dangerous experiments and releasing radiation energy all the time. It was fine under normal circumstances but he was afraid he would kill Fra by accident if they engaged in a battle.
Angele thought of modifying Fra's body using his bloodline but he was not sure if the method would work. Fra was a mortal, after all: it was possible that her body would be permanently damaged by a strong bloodline.
He needed to find a woman that could handle his bloodline if he wanted to reproduce.
"Alright, let's talk about this later." Angele stood up, turned around, and headed to his room.
Before he reached his room, he heard some loud noise from the entrance.
"Andre!" It was Heli who was shouting anxiously.
Angele's expression changed, he walked to the door quickly and opened it.
Heli was standing outside the door with a fainted woman in black on his back. Heli lost his left ear and right eye. There were several bloody holes on his face and blood was dripping down his chin.
Fra saw Heli's face and screamed.
"Come in, hurry!" Angele stepped to the side and asked them to enter the cave. He noticed that the woman on Heli's back was still bleeding—they left a trail of blood on the ground.
"Go to the medical room, hurry!" Angele shouted.
Heli rushed into the medical room right away and carefully put the woman down on a bed.
"Andre, hurry, my sister is dying!" he shouted anxiously.
Angele put on a pair of white gloves and walked to the masked woman. He checked the woman's condition and gasped.
There were three long wounds on the woman's breast, waist, and stomach. It looked like the wounds were made by a long blade. Her bones were broken and it felt like her skin could fall off her body at any time.
If the woman took one more hit, her body could break into three parts. Her wounds were connected by some white strings and that was the reason why her body was still in one piece.
Heli quickly explained, "I used the white scissors you gave me; otherwise…"
It sounded like he was about to cry.
"I need to check her wounds first!" Angele spoke in a deep tone. He cut the woman's outfit open using a pair of silver scissors and revealed her body, which was soaked in fresh blood.

Chapter 581: Breaking the Limit (2)

There was a long and clean cut on the woman's stomach.
Angele could see that her intestines were cut into pieces through the wound; the only thing keeping her alive was the effect of the white scissors.
He reached to the wound and tried to touch it.
BAM*
A ball of white light exploded at her wound and blocked Angele's hand.
"Damn it! The holy power of the church." Heli saw the light as well, and his face twitched due to the hatred and pain. He clenched his fists so tight that his nails almost stabbed into his palms.
"The injury is severe and this holy power…" Angele was a bit depressed. "Sorry, Heli, her organs and heart were cut into pieces and I can't do anything because of the holy power…"
BAM*
Heli collapsed after hearing these words.
"There must be a way… There must be…" he kept repeating. His eyes almost looked soulless.
Angele suddenly took one step back after seeing Heli's changes.
His short black hair was growing at full speed and quickly turned to silver. Bright-green light came out of the man's eyes and two green lines appeared on his face. They almost looked like a tattoo. The man's body was changing every second; the scene was quite strange.
"She's my sister. I won't let her die like this…" Heli slowly stood up; his voice sounded like it was from a different person.
Raising his hands, a small scale that was made of white rocks appeared on his palms.
"Scale of Rules… Judgement!" Heli spoke calmly.
Chi*
The green light in the room got even more intense.
Rays of green light that looked like arrows landed on the woman's body.
The wounds on the woman's body started healing at full speed, including her organs. The holy power was slowly expelled from her body—it seemed like the holy power could not resist the green light.
The scale in Heli's hand slowly leaned to the right side.
PA*
Blood spurted out of Heli's mouth as he kneeled.
Strings of green lines slowly spurted out of Heli's skin. The lines looked like hair and started growing right away as they surrounded Heli's body.
About ten seconds later, Heli was turned into a large green cocoon.
Angele stood on the side and waited until the green lines stopped moving. He walked to the masked woman and started checking her body using the biochip.
"Her heart is pumping again and everything looks fine. That's unbelievable…" Angele was surprised.
"Her injury was severe but she still survived. The life energy was at the same level as my true form… Also, the best ability of their bloodline was not recovery…"
Angele's sight fell upon the cocoon.
"Scale of Rules… I thought it was Misfortune Scale. I can see that his bloodline is getting strengthened…" Angele was excited, he could feel that his body was trembling in excitement due to this bloodline. It was like fish in the water.
"The fatal injury helped him break the limit… After the cocoon breaks, the process will be completed and I can extract the blood from him…" Angele did the analysis, he was certain that the bloodline of Misfortune Scale would aid him; the proof was that the bloodline essence helped him rank up as a wizard.
"The only thing I can do it wait. I shouldn't interrupt this process…"
The cocoon was weak. However, the thing that was going on inside was complicated and it would be stopped by a simple strike.
"Huh?" Angele suddenly looked to the right. His eyes were surrounded by a red glow—he could see through walls and trees. He was looking at something far from here.In the forest.
A team of knights in silver armor was traveling through the trees at full speed. Their horses were also fully geared, their eyes surrounded by green glow.
There were around ten knights in the team. The leader was a young woman in golden armor.
"How far is the destination from us, Morin?" the female knight questioned in a loud voice.
"We're almost there, we just need to go over that hill!" a male knight behind her responded.
"We've just finished off some wizards and now we have to deal with those people with bloodline abilities. The wizards are like insects and those people are like rats. Without the barriers, they are nothing to us. I wonder how they protected their inheritors from us," another female knight complained.
"They have ways to survive even if they are rats," the leader responded. "Be careful, everyone, wizards and the people with bloodlines are weak but we need to work in groups. If you're surrounded by more than five people, it'll be a problem."
"What are you afraid of? They can't do anything to us." The female knight snorted. "They will try their best to run if they see us."
"Just be careful." The leader glanced at the female knight. She was not concerned.
"Master Rayton is coming with us this time, there's nothing for us to worry about."
"Those rates are good at running around but they can't do anything to us."
"Let's make this a competition, what do you think? I could've won the last time if you didn't start first, Max."
"Well, you would lose anyways."
The knights were chatting and chuckling.
"Quiet!" The female leader raised her hand and the team quickly stopped talking.
The flames on their torches were waving, they looked like red silk clothes in the air. The only noise left was made by the hooves.
Several minutes later, they found a camp with burning campfire ahead. A tall man was sitting beside the fire; he heard the noise and a surprised look appeared on his face. The man quickly rolled to the side and disappeared into the bushes.
The female leader drew the scimitar and shouted, "A bloodline inheritor! Don't let him go!"
"Go! Hurry!"
The knights shouted and charged into the bushes.
Sadly, the man was just a distraction, he was trying to lead them to the wrong path.On the other side of the forest, there was a small team led by Rayton. There were five knights in the team, going after the black shadow ahead.
They were far from their original destination.
"Wait! It's a trap!" Rayton's expression changed as he quickly stopped the horse. "Halt!"
The armored horses slowed down and the team was stopped.
"What happened, sir?"
"We should've continued. We were so close to that guy!"
Rayton raised his hand and stopped the knights from complaining.
"That guy was leading us in the wrong destination, we need to change our direction and head to our original destination as soon as possible.
"Understood!"
The knights agreed, turned around, and started heading to their original destination.Inside the cave.
Angele was no longer checking the situation in the forest.
He stepped out of the room, closed the door, and slowly took off his gloves.
"I guess Heli's plan failed. This is important to me so I'll have to handle them myself…"
He walked to the door of the cave and gave Fra his gloves.
"Kid, I need to check the situation. I'll be back soon. Just stay in the room."
"Sure." Fra knew that Angele was not playing around so she did not say anything else. She knew how bad Heli and his sister were injured. Fra's face was pale and she was vomiting in the washroom.
Angele opened the door and tightened the black cloak he was wearing. He quickly checked the surroundings.
"No one shall interrupt Heli's progress…" A red glow surrounded his eyes. He closed the door and disappeared into a ball of flames.In the deep forest, a white shadow charged to the Vienna Valley like a white string.
The shadow traveled through the stones, trees, and bushes like they were nothing. The shadow did not make any noise and almost looked like an illusion.
The shadow was a tall knight in white armor; he lowered his body and he was traveling at full speed. There were two long white tentacles on his chin, the chain sickle on his back was also white.
That knight was Rayton, he left the team after he realized that they were tricked because his teammates were way too slow. He was heading to their original destination.
"You chose a path that passed by the base of the church, do you really think I can't track you down?" Rayton sneered.
Suddenly, the knight stopped and grabbed his chain sickle. He looked at a bush in the front with his eyes narrowed.
Angele stepped out of the bush slowly, he was wearing a black robe and his hands were hiding under the sleeves. There was a gentle smile on his face.
"Sorry, I can't let you pass. There's something important going on ahead. Also, this is my territory."
A ball of black smoke appeared behind him, the smoke turned into a black scorpion and started making noises.
"This power… It's similar to the one the scale has… You're also a bloodline inheritor?" Rayton's expression turned serious. "You're nothing but a rat. I don't think your weak bloodline power can stop me."
"Stop you? I'm not just going to stop you…" Angele sneered. "Arrogant bastard, I'll show you the true power of bloodlines!"
Raising his hands, he gripped forward. The black smoke gathered in his hands and turned into balls. It almost looked like that something terrifying was about to be released from Angele's hands.
"How's that even possible?!" Rayton's pupils retracted.
WOO*
White flames appeared around his body, Rayton opened his mouth and released flashing white light.

CHI*
The white light released from Rayton's mouth turned into a light arrow and flew at Angele's head. The noise almost sounded like thunder.
The trees and grass around were all brightened up by the light.
However, the light arrow landed on a palm.
BAM*
The white light dots splashed in the air.
Angele lowered his left hand and the black ball on his palm started expanding.
He raised the black ball and the air around him started twisting. There was black smoke coming out of his ears and mouth, merging into the black ball.
"Go now…"
The black ball floated in the air as it kept moving up and down.
WOO*
The black ball soared into the sky.
BAM*
After the loud explosion, the black smoke expanded in all directions and covered the crescent moon. There were countless shadows under the clean moonlight.
The whole sky above the mountains was blocked by the black smoke and there was no light.
A strong and evil power was moving in the darkness. It felt like the whole area was soaked in black ink.
Neigh*
The horses under the knights started neighing and panicking. Although the knights tried to calm them down, the horses were still trying to escape.
"The moonlight faded away…" The female leader raised her head and looked at the black smoke.In a mountain somewhere far from the area.
"A wizard… This is the true power of a wizard!"
The old wizards trembled and kneeled. Their vision blurred and they were all staring at the black smoke on the far side.
"The ancestors haven't given up… they haven't!" someone shouted.
The wizards cried in happiness and the shelter got noisy quickly.In the snow covered mountains.
"What's going on?"
"There are dark clouds in the sky. It might be the wizards again!"
In the forest, a knight rubbed the ring on his hand. White light flashed on the surface of the ring but faded away almost instantly.
"Wait, there's something wrong with my ring. Did the people from Holy Armor give me the wrong thing?"
"My ring has a problem too!"
"Leader, mine too!"
The knights tried to activate their holy rings; however, the rings were not effective at all. The knights got nervous, they kept trying to activate the rings but nothing happened.
The female leader raised her head and looked at the dark clouds. She suddenly recalled the words an old wizard she slain said.
'You don't understand… A legendary wizard's power is much stronger than your holy power! Only the power you can control is the true power… The true power can change rules of the world…'
"Someone prevented us from communicating with God!" The leader lowered her head. She could feel the pressure coming from the source of the dark clouds. "The power is so terrifying that it's changing the rules of this world! Everyone! Follow my order! We need to move!" Raising her hand, she pointed at the source of the dark clouds.*BAM*
Rayton was blown away. He rolled several times on the ground, leaving a trail behind. He tried to support himself with his hands and get up.
However, Angele's feet already landed on his back.
The black smoke kept coming out of Angele's body as he was standing on Rayton's body.
"Without the protection of your god, you're nothing…" He looked at Rayton and noticed that the man was still trying to activate the holy ring.
"Don't waste your time." Angele's face was covered by the black smoke. "I can easily deactivate this thing, it's not your true power."
"You… Who are you?!" Rayton inhaled deeply and shouted, "You're no wizard!"
His eyes were wide open, his armor and bones were making noises under Angele's feet. It felt like there was a mountain on his back and he could barely breathe under the pressure.
Rayton tried his best to breathe, however, his sight blurred due to the lack of oxygen. Without the holy power, he had no way to fight back.
"You'll be punished! You heretics!" he shouted like crazy.
Angele heard the word and chuckled.
"Well, what if I'm a god too…"
Crack*
Angele's boots pierced through Rayton's back. The man's flesh and bones broke into pieces. His blood leaked out of his armor and splashed on the ground.
The light faded away from Rayton's eyes. His muscles loosened and he looked like a pile of mud. Rayton was eliminated.
"His soul is gone too… How pathetic…"
Angele looked to the left and jumped forward. He quickly disappeared into the forest.
Several minutes later
Two people stepped out of the bushes on the left. The one on the left had a strong body and the one on the right was slim. They were Van and Cynthia.
"I've never seen a sky like this. I wonder what happened. It's weird," Cynthia spoke in a low voice.
"I guess it's about to rain," Van responded. "It's common in my hometown…" He suddenly stopped talking as they saw a dead body of a holy knight on the ground. The light from their torch illuminated the dead body.
"Wait… That's Rayton…" Cynthia would never forget the knight that injured him numerous times.
"It can't be. It's probably a random knight that had a similar face…" Van was suspicious.
"Rayton is like a monster that never dies. He is fast and strong. There's no way that he would die at a place like this."
"You might be right…" Cynthia agreed.
They walked to the dead body and observed it carefully. They found two long tentacles on his chin.
"Maybe Rayton had a brother?"
"Unlikely…"
They exchanged eye contact and their faces turned pale. If someone could kill Rayton, he would be able to kill them easily.
Suddenly, they heard noise coming from the bushes and a team of holy knights appeared. They were holding torches in their hands and their leader was a female knight.
The knights saw the dead body of Rayton immediately, however, they could not believe that Rayton was dead.
"Rayton?" The female leader confirmed the dead knight's identity through the ring on his finger.
"How's that even possible!" she shouted as fear filled up her mind.
KA*
She drew a scimitar and stared at the two people standing by the dead body.
The knights all drew their scimitars in fear. They were not here to find the one who killed Rayton, they just wanted a way to relieve their stress.Angele was traveling in the dark forest, heading back to the cave. Most of the smoke had disappeared from his face and the smoke in the sky was also returning into his body.
He passed through the trees and quickly found the wooden door in front of him.
He walked to the wooden door and pushed it open.
CHI*
The wooden door slowly opened and the dim yellow light illuminated Angele's pale face. All the dark smoke returned into his body; he walked into the cave, stepped down the stairs, and headed to the medical room.
The room was by the end of the hallway. When he arrived there, Fra was having a nap in front of the door.
Angele did not wake Fra up; he carefully pushed the door open and entered the room.
Inside the room, the green cocoon was much smaller than before and Angele could see the shape of Heli's body. The room was filled up with green smoke—the smoke was from Heli's strange but weak bloodline power.
Angele checked the smoke and noticed the power of an ancestor in the weak bloodline. Also, the power was much stronger than the power he detected before Heli broke the limit.
He walked to the cocoon and sat down with his legs crossed.
Closing his eyes, Angele started absorbing the essence of the ancestor's bloodline slowly.
In Angele's mind, he could see the four mentality crystals in an area that was surrounded by black smoke. The fifth mentality crystal also started solidifying. The fifth mentality crystal was colorless and translucent.
Several hours later.
Angele opened his eyes slowly, but he looked a bit confused.
"It seems like I've found the source, but… The fifth mentality crystal started solidifying but this is not the result I wanted." He felt that he was getting closer to Siva State but he did not know how to proceed. Angele already figured out what the ancestor's bloodline essence was—it was a power that was stronger than his black smoke.
However, the essence had nothing to do with the ancestor's eternal power.
"Ugh…"
Heli's body suddenly moved. He used his hands to pull off the remaining green cocoon on his body and sat down on the bed. "What just happened…"
"Your bloodline has awakened." Angele shrugged and stood up. "Your sister still needs some time to heal and your friends should be fine too. Alright, let's talk about the payment. I need some of your blood again."
"Again…" Heli put his right hand on his forehead, his face was still pale. "I didn't use all your items. Can you take it back so you don't extract too much blood from me?"
"No, it's yours already," Angele refused. "Have some rest now, your friends will return to the cave soon I think. Also, I have a good news."
"What?" Heli was a bit speechless.
"Rayton is dead."
"Good… Wait, what? Say that again!" Heli finally understood what Angele just said.
"Rayton is dead. The legendary holy knight of the church," Angele repeated.
"Are you sure it's Rayton? Not his brother or something?" Heli was shocked. Angele nodded and Heli felt like that he just lost his goal.
"Wait a minute, I need some time…" He stopped Angele from saying anything else, it seemed like he wanted to make sure that he was not daydreaming.
Angele smiled, walked to the door, and looked at Heli, who was still in shock.

Chapter 583: Test (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
The ancestor's bloodline essence helped Angele become a rank 5 wizard—he was getting closer to the Siva State. The feeling was strange, it was like drinking ice-cold water after eating hot food. His body was numb for a couple seconds.
Angele left the room and carried Fra to her own bedroom. He then returned to his room and took down a large book with a black leather cover from a bookshelf.
Angele opened the book and saw a line of words that were written in Metia on the white paper.
'To the ones I loved and the ones that loved me…'
Angele rubbed the line carefully.
Raising his right hand, he slowly drew a circle under the words.
He did not use any ink, the circle just appeared as his finger moved around the paper.
The egg-sized circle was completed quickly. Angele started drawing colorful patterns inside it.
The lines were turned into complicated patterns in the circle. The patterns then formed a red scorpion.
CHI*
Angele's finger stopped by the edge of the circle.
He moved his finger away from the paper and red light flashed on the circle, fading away several seconds later.
Angele thought for a while and added some words under the circle.
"Circle of Link."
He opened the book but the pages were blank.
Angele's finger landed on the bottom right of the paper and tapped on it.
CHI*
After the noise, lines of words appeared on the pages automatically. It almost felt like someone was typing.
Time passed. Several minutes later, dozens of pages were covered with words.
"This will be my personal note as a wizard. I hope this will inspire the wizards who want to progress further." He closed the book and returned it into the bookshelf.
Red light flashed on the book as he put it down. The book slowly turned white and solidified; it turned into a stone book several seconds later.
He recorded part of his knowledge, experiences, and the things he learned about wizards in the book. The symbol on the cover was the sign of his true form. Wizards from other realms could summon his shadow by preparing sacrificial rituals and check the things recorded in the book.
If Angele gifted the book to Vivian or someone on the west coast, there was a chance that this book would be passed to the inheritors.
Angele had the help of the biochip and was one of the most knowledgeable wizards in the central continent. This book would be among the rarest finds.
He had the feeling that when he broke past the limit, it would be the time for him to say goodbye to this world. If he needed to return to this world, he would have to send his shadows.
"I killed a legendary knight to see how the church would respond. I wonder if Light Ancestor still has the power to impact this world. If there's nothing Light Ancestor can do, I'll go straight to the church and check the situation."
He stayed here for Vivian, so he wanted to make sure that the church was not a threat. If the church was not a threat, there would be no point for him to be here. He just needed to find a safe home for Fra.Cynthia and Van escaped the battle. The knights from the church decided to leave the area with Rayton's body.
Several months later…
Heli and his friends stayed in the cave. Angele extracted more than ten tubes of blood from his body and Heli finally completed the payment. They decided to leave after they completely recovered.
Surprisingly, Fra wanted to leave the cave with Heli's team because she wanted to explore the world.
"Are you sure about this?" Angele stood in front of the cave and looked at Heli's team.
Under the light from the setting sun, Fra dressed up like a boy again; there were two silver crossguard swords on her back. One of the swords was the damaged sword she purchased from Angele. It seemed like Fra had made up her mind.
"I made an agreement with Miss Cynthia."
"Miss?" Cynthia slapped Fra's head. "I won't teach you sword skills if you call me Miss again!"
Fra's expression loosened. "Please no… Mr. Cynthia! You're my last hope!"
"What are you talking about? When will you learn…" Heli was speechless. There was a sword in his hand and the tall woman standing beside him was his sister.
Angele just stood there and watched them talk to each other with a smile on his face.
"Fra, I won't stop you this time, but remember, you're still a wanted criminal. I hope I'll hear about a legendary knight called Fra one day. Alright, I'll give you one more thing before you leave."
He raised his right fist and opened it in front of Fra.
There was a ring on Angele's palm. The ring was surrounded by a golden glow and looked like the rings used by holy knights. There was an egg-shaped gem on top of the white ring—the gem looked beautiful but simple.
"Woah, that's a nice ring!" Fra quickly grabbed the ring from Angele's hand and observed it carefully.
"Finally, you give me something for free. I'll take it."
"Say my name in your mind if you encounter any problem." Angele smiled and pointed at the ring. "Make sure you carry it with you and treat it like me."
"Well, I know you were reading novels recently but this sounds a bit ridiculous. Alright, it's getting late, we need to head to the next town and find something to eat. I'm hungry…" Van was getting impatient.
"Seriously? You just had, like, a whole bucket of rice." Cynthia rolled his eyes.
"See you, Andre." Heli waved his hands. "Thank you for your help."
The rest of the team followed Heli and started walking down the hill.
Angele smiled and nodded. He saw that Fra was still looking at him.
"What are you waiting for? Don't make them wait."
"I'll come back for you after I become a knight! Don't leave this cave!"
Fra finished those words and rushed to the team. She suddenly turned her head around and gave Angele one final glance. The man was still smiling; she recalled the day the man helped her escape the town, and tears appeared in her eyes.
"Fra, hurry!" Cynthia's voice was still feminine.
"I'm coming!" Fra entered the forest quickly but Angele could still hear them talking.
"Don't worry about him, Fra. We'll come back and visit him. It's not like this is the last time you meet."
"You're right…" Fra chuckled.
"You're laughing like an idiot…"
"What did you just say?!"
Angele watched the team disappear into the deep forest. He stayed in front of the wooden door for a while.
He suddenly sighed, turned around, and entered the cave. However, he left the cave again a couple minutes later; there was light fading away from his mirror.
Angele looked at the wooden door and raised his hand. He released a ball of flames into the cave which quickly landed on the floor.
The flames swallowed everything in the cave—stones, wooden furniture, and everything else.
The cave turned into a sea of flames and the red light illuminated Angele's whole body.
BAM*
A wooden plank exploded in the cave.
Angele closed the wooden door and wiped the dust off his long robe.
"It's about time…" He turned around, entered the forest, and headed in the opposite direction than the group.One month later…
In one of the church's cities, Misha.
The vendors lined up on both sides of the white street. Different patterns and characters covered the bronze signs over the vendors.
The street was crowded; several muscular men were pushing a bronze cart filled with white bricks forward. There was a woman with a pale face sitting at the corner, talking about people's fate. There were also girls from rich families walking with white roses in their hands.
The people on the street were approaching and leaving the vendors. There were also people discussing prices with the sellers.
The gentle sunlight of the early morning was nice and warm. The light went through the window of a coffee shop and landed on the surface of a white table.
There were two cups of hot drinks on the table, they smelled fragrant and creamy.
There were two people sitting by the table. One of them was a man with long red hair and brown leather outfit; there was also a large sword on his belt. It seemed like the man was in his twenties, and the goatee on his chin looked quite funny.
The other one was a woman wearing tight white leather armor. The tight outfit revealed her balanced body and there was black hair trailing over her shoulders. She looked like a woman from a noble family, her skin was nice and clean.
However, there was a cold expression on her face.
"It has been years but I still want to punch you in the face."
"Come on." Angele chuckled and sipped from the cup. "I didn't expect you to open a coffee shop here. I only traveled a couple months to reach this city. This is almost the border of this country. I knew you never liked me, but…"
"You used me like a defensive magic device. You enjoyed the victories but I was the one that did the hard work… I'll never forget that…"
The terrifying experience was still bothering Becky.
"Yeah, the good old days…" Angele sighed.
Crack*
The cup in Becky's hand cracked after she heard those words.
She inhaled deeply and finally calmed down.
"Alright, what do you want me to do again?"
"Show this to my mother, Vivian, and take it to the inheritors of my old family at the west coast." Angele took out a large black pouch and handed it to Becky.
"That's ridiculous…" Angele gave Becky a headache. "How do I even travel to the west coast…"
"I trust you, Becky!" Angele patted Becky's shoulders with a serious expression on his face. "I know you can do this. I wanted to ask Turin for help, but sadly, he's not here."

"Whatever… We are closely related anyway…" Becky emphasized the word "related".
Angele smiled. "Don't worry, after this ends, I won't control you using my bloodline power anymore. That's it."
"Promise?" Becky was a bit excited.
"Yeah."
"Alright, I'll do that for you then." Becky grabbed the pouch and held it in hands. "I think you're not here just for this. I'll give you some information you might need."
She tapped on the table.
A thin red barrier appeared around the two but it only stayed there for a second.
"I visited a lot of the church's buildings, including the one in this city and the capital, however, I'm certain that they are not protected by Light Ancestor. Their power came from the items from Light Ancestor; I think Light Ancestor is still sleeping somewhere in the Chaos Realm. That's all I know. Also…" Becky stopped for a second and continued, "I don't think it matters even if Light Ancestor knows about the church. Light Ancestor is in the Chaos Realm. That's far from here, and Light Ancestor won't be a big problem to you."
"If you're telling the truth…" Angele rubbed the cup and started thinking. He quickly checked Becky's memory using his ability.
He quickly found Becky's memory of visiting the church's properties.
"Oh… That's what you did…"
"You…!" Becky put her hands on the edge of the table and her body was trembling in anger.
"You're checking my memory again!"
"Don't you think this is an easy and effective way?" Angele shrugged. "I should probably go collect some more information by myself. They have a church here too, right?"
"Do whatever you want…"
"Sure, thanks for the information."
Angele stood up and organized his armor. He turned around and walked to the door.
He opened the glass door and left the coffee shop with other customers. It almost looked like he had been here for the drink.
Angele stood on the street and watched the crowd move. He turned to the right and looked around.
There were some white towers by the end of the street. In front of the towers, there were vendors.
Staircases were built on the surface of the towers. Angele could see people in white robes walking on those staircases.
Angele tightened his outfit, went across the street, and headed to the towers.
He walked down the street and quickly found an arched white stone gate in the front. There was a sculpture of a white lion in front of the gate.
The sculpture was well-crafted, it almost looked like a live lion that was sleeping on the ground.
There was no one guarding the gate, there were white robes leaving the gate and entering the valley on the left.
Angele glanced around with his glowing red eyes and released some translucent energy waves.
He smiled and walked to the arched gate, then stood in front of the lion sculpture, but none of the white robes around noticed his presence. The white robes were just chatting or reading the documents in their hands. They were all heading to the valley on the left.
"Katie, Monk wants to have lunch with you. He'll tell you about the next mission," a female white robe was talking with her friend.
"Is that so? Sure, I'll go meet him."
They passed by Angele and Angele leaned to the left slightly so that they would not run into him.
Suddenly, Angele glanced at the girl named Katie and found a white V-shaped pattern on her forehead. The pattern was releasing some weak holy power. The holy power was modifying the girl's soul and body constantly.
'That's how the holy power changes their thoughts, I guess…' Angele observed the pattern for a while but he was not interested.
He started walking to the gate again.
ROAR*
Suddenly, the stone lion's eyes opened and it felt like it just roared. Angele could hear the voice in his mind.
He stopped, glanced at the stone lion, and flicked his finger.
PA*
The stone lion's body trembled but it stopped moving quickly and everything returned to normal.
Angele smiled and entered the arched gate. He stepped on a white path with grass on both sides. He was not interested in the random buildings around so he headed directly toward the white towers.
He entered the tallest white tower and then a spacious, bright hall. There were rays of white light coming from the window on the right, and every object in the hall was illuminated by the light.
The hall was filled up with white robes—they were sitting on the padded long chairs and most of them looked young. They were all praying with their eyes closed.
There was a black platform in front of the chairs with a golden cabinet on it. The cabinet was tightly closed and there were more than ten locks on it. There was also a thick metal chain around it. It seemed like the item inside was extremely important.
Angele floated in the air and flew to the cabinet. He stopped about half a meter away from it.
'This must be the item Becky talked about—they can absorb the remaining power of Light Ancestor using the world stone with this item. I guess Light Ancestor has never known that some of his remaining power was used by the church…'
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes as he checked the cabinet and shook his head. He turned to the left and found a wall of leather paper.
It seemed like the wall was used for general announcements. The paper on the walls was waving slightly in the air due to the wind.
"Promoted Holy Knights"
"List of Stolen Treasures and Punishments"
"Member List of the Meeting in Sharon"
"New Member Contest and Events"So many random things were on the wall.
Angele quickly checked the paper and found something interesting.
"Order: Suspend all actions regarding the wizard and bloodline inheritor hunting mission. All holy knights shall report back to the divisions they belong to. Further decisions will be announced later."
Angele pursed his lips into a smile.
'So, they decided to hide the truth; they don't even want to tell the members that a legendary knight is killed… I should probably make things harder for all of you…'
With a flick of his finger, he released a ray of red light into the golden cabinet on the platform.
The red light turned into liquid and merged into the white holy power inside the cabinet. The red liquid expanded and slowly dissolved in the white holy power.
The bloodline power had a hidden message in it, and the message was delivered to other holy cabinets in different churches through a certain channel.
The Pope and the bishops would learn about the message when they opened the cabinets.
'If Light Ancestor was sharing his power with the church, there would be nothing I could do. However, as the church was just collecting the remaining power that was released by Light Ancestor, things will be much easier for me.'
Angele looked at the painting on the ceiling. It was about people praying to a ray of holy light.
'It's about time to end my peaceful life and focus on studying the Lost Realm.' He thought that he already had the right to enter the Lost Realm since he was very close to Siva State.
'Although the church has the holy power, they won't be able to hunt down the wizards like they've done before as long as I'm still around.'
Saving the wizards here was never his intention; the holy power was from the remaining power of Light Ancestor, it would expel the energy particles and make people who used the holy power hate the wizards.
In other words, the conflict between the wizards and the church would never end unless Angele destroyed the church completely, however, there was no point for him to do that. The remaining power of Light Ancestor was endless; if he eliminated the church, another organization to find the power would appear sooner or later, so the only thing he needed to do was make sure that the church knew about his presence.
'The power came from a dimension fissure; it's the remaining power of Light Ancestor, so it's highly possible that the dimension fissure leads to the Chaos Realm…'
Mortals were like ants to Light Ancestor, so Light Ancestor would not do anything if mortals approached the dimension fissure. However, if it was a large insect or a bird, the situation would be different.
Angele was like a large insect to Light Ancestor; although he was still weaker than Light Ancestor, Light Ancestor might still wake up.
If he got too close to the dimension fissure, Light Ancestor might try to eliminate him.
He was not confident that he could survive a fight against Light Ancestor even when Light Ancestor was severely injured.
'I should choose an easier path…' He decided not to check the dimension fissure. 'The Lost Realm connected multiple strong realms, including the Chaos Realm. I can travel to the Chaos Realm using this method. My analysis should be completed soon…
'Where should I be when entering the Lost Realm…' Angele glanced around.
The white robes were still praying and there was an old priest singing in the hall.
'Well, this is actually a good spot.'
He noticed that the dimension was unstable here due to the energy waves released by the world stone. If he decided to enter the Lost Realm here, the pressure from the realm power would be easier to handle.
He was carrying the portal to the Lost Realm with him, so he could enter the portal from anywhere he wanted.
'Let's start.'
Angele took out a small box from the mirror. He opened the box, and some chilling air was released from it right away.
There were many ice blocks in the box that surrounded a white plate in the center. There was some black dust on the white plate.
'Zooming in…' Zero's mechanical voice echoed in his ears right away.
'Adjusting the magnifier…
'Lost Realm's force field detected… Checking the analysis progression…
'Force field completely analyzed. Opening the world portal…'
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes as he stared at the black dust on the plate.

Chapter 585: Portal (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
In Angele's sight, he could see the sea of black crystals and the dark portal was moving closer and closer to him.
Suddenly, a white hand reached out of the portal and slowly moved toward Angele.
'Come to me… I'm ready this time…' Angele decided not to resist; he just stared at the hand quietly but was ready to fully release his power.
PA*
The hand grabbed Angele's left arm.
Suddenly, a strong force started dragging Angele to the dark portal.
Strangely, the blue light dots disappeared from Angele's eyes and the biochip was no longer zooming in.
It was like he was dragged into a different dimension. The whole world was spinning in his sight and he could not see anything. Angele thought he was falling down a white cylinder but he could see the white and black light dots flashing around him.
Several seconds later.
Angele slowly stood up on a platform over a black crystal under the gray sky. His face was pale and his head dizzy.
Raising his head, Angele checked the surroundings, but all he could see were the black crystals. He was also standing on a crystal.
"Where am I…?" Angele looked around.
His sight fell upon an area behind him. There was an irregular black hole with chilling air coming out of it. A pale arm was slowly returning into the hole; it disappeared after reaching the edge of the hole.
"My body shrank?" Angele was surprised, he walked to the black hole and peeked inside.
The only thing he could see was darkness. Although he had high Stamina, he still felt cold in the chilling air and goosebumps were rising from his skin.
Angele inhaled deeply but realized that he could not feel any gas.
'My body definitely shrank, but I'm too small and the elemental molecules are bigger than my body…' Angele held his breath. 'Luckily, I can survive without breathing, otherwise, it'd be a problem…'
Angele moved away from the black hole and checked the platform he was standing on.
It was a relatively small platform about five meters long and six meters wide. He walked to the edge of the platform and looked down.
Below the crystal was an endless abyss.
The place was deadly silent, it felt like standing in a forest of black crystals and the platform under his feet was the only thing that he could stand on.
He looked at one of the black crystals, the top of the crystal reached far into the gray sky.
'I can't see the top of the bottom… If my body is much smaller than before, it'll take me a long time to reach the top or the bottom of the crystal…'
He moved to the other side of the platform but the situation was the same.
'Warning, warning… The time here is different… Do you want to adjust it?' Zero's voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
Angele checked the time that was displayed in his sight.
'15:42:12.'
However, the clock stopped and he had no idea what was going on.
'What's happening…' Angele stared at the clock and waited several seconds, however, nothing happened.
'Is it due to the power of the Lost Realm or is there something wrong with my nerve system? Am I moving and thinking faster than before? I need to give the biochip the permission to adjust the time for me. Zero, adjust the time.'
After Angele gave the order, he saw lines of blue data flashing in his sight. A lot of random numbers appeared behind the clock and it seemed like many things were changing.
He checked the clock again and it seemed like the biochip developed a new way to calculate the time. The number still looked the same but the clock started running again.
'I knew time might be different for different realms but this one is a bit strange…' Angele checked the time—the smallest unit was not "second", it was something much smaller. 'This is a new unit that I've never seen and this is a whole new experience for me… Very interesting…'
Angele adjusted the time and sat down with his legs crossed on the platform. He rested for a while and tried to adapt to the new environment.
About half an hour later, he slowly stood up and walked to the edge of the black hole.
'This is a legendary realm… Let me see what's so different about it…' He stood in front of the black hole and jumped into it.
He lost to the gravity and started sinking into the endless darkness.
The hole above him was getting smaller and smaller, it turned into a small dot several seconds later.
The dot slowly disappeared into the darkness and there was nothing else in his sight.
Angele had no idea how long passed. He noticed that his feet landed on the ground steadily.
He was still in darkness but noticed that there was a stinky smell in the air.
"Cough… I can smell things again?"
CHI*
He created a small ball of fire on his fingertip to brighten up the area.
The light revealed the surroundings and Angele realized that he was standing in a white tunnel.
There was a white wall behind him. It felt like that he was standing in a random cave that was full of stalactites.
'Wait… Those are not stalactites…' Angele's expression turned serious. He rubbed on the surface of the wall—it felt like touching a damaged wall.
Angele lowered his hand and sniffed at his fingers. They smelled like blood and he also noticed something rotten.
He took a step forward.
PA*
His feet hit something in front of him with a noise.
Angele checked the ground using the light from the fire, there was a pile of white bones under his feet. The ground was covered with countless skulls and bones. His feet were almost buried in the bones.
He found some weapons, accessories, and damaged armor in the white bones.
PA*
Angele picked up an iron leg guard, however, it broke into pieces when he tried to lift it up.
His brow furrowed as he picked some other items, but all of them broke into pieces right after they were lifted.
Under the dim light, Angele started proceeding in the tunnel. The bones on the ground were from human beings, random beasts, giants, and giant birds. He also found books, outfits, gems, crystals, and many other random things in piles of bones.
He kept trying to pick the items up but all of them crumbled in the air. Some of them were still glowing, however, none of them was still usable, and the books were unreadable.
'These are just garbage…'
Angele dropped a blue crystal pillar that was still glowing to the ground and started moving again. He was still checking the bones constantly.
'Those bones are from thousands of years ago but they are still in good shape. I think those creatures were strong creatures when they were still alive, but I don't see any traces left by a battle… Those creatures were not killed during a war. I hope I can find something like the crystal orb used by the wizards here…'
Angele glanced at the bones. Suddenly, he found something that was releasing purple light under a bronze shield ahead.
He walked to the shield, crouched, and moved it away. There was a thick purple book glowing under a silver mace and a white bow. The book was old and its cover was slightly damaged.
There was a black keyhole in the center of the cover and there were some silver patterns that looked like flowers around the keyhole.
Angele carefully removed the mace and the bow before grabbing the purple book.
He slowly opened the book and started reading—the words on the red paper were written in the Chaos language.
'The notebook of the North Empire's vanguards. This is our first day of the trip to Lost Realm and we entered the Bone Tunnel without any problems…'
The rest of the words were unreadable. Angele rubbed the page using his fingers but it made the words even harder to read.
He started turning pages. Most of the words were blurred, but he finally found something that was readable when he reached the 23rd page.
'Nate was killed, we returned to the Bone Tunnel. This is… Jump… Lost…'
Those were the only readable words he could find.
The rest of the pages had no valuable information. He closed his book and scrunched his eyebrows.
He checked the surroundings again and noticed the end of the tunnel turned from a white way to endless darkness. It felt like the tunnel would lead him into the abyss if he decided to go back.
The area in the front was also dark.
Angele stood in the tunnel quietly. With a flick of his left finger, he created a fireball over his left shoulder.
He put down the book on the ground and started advancing slowly.
He did not find many glowing items ahead, but he noticed some complete skeletons.
Angele had no idea how long had passed before he finally found some human bones under a purple robe. He checked the bones and found a translucent crystal orb.
The crystal orb was dirty and its surface was covered with cracks. It felt like the orb could explode at any time.
Angele picked up the orb carefully and rubbed it several times using his hands.
CHI*
The crystal orb started glowing and made some strange noise.
"Well…" A young man's face appeared in the crystal orb. The man's face was upside down and he had a pair of yellow eyes.
"This is a crystal orb from my mother… This is the 153rd day of… Wait, let me double-check…"
"Come on, don't play with my orb. Go sit down on the side." A hoarse female voice came from the orb.
The young man's face slowly moved away from the orb, revealing the white walls of Bone Tunnel.

Chapter 586: Bone Tunnel (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
"If, I mean if, anyone can find this crystal orb, my purpose will be fulfilled…" The scene in the crystal orb shook slightly; it seemed like the crystal orb was turned to a different direction.
In front of the white tunnel, there was a red wooden door in the stone wall.
"Before entering this unknown door, I need to make a record. Although I don't know when we can leave Bone Tunnel and enter the Lost Realm, I still want to make sure that we have a record." The woman's voice was deep and hoarse.
The woman moved closer to the wooden door and carefully observed the surface of the door.
There were many engravings on the door. The engravings were human mouths that varied in color: some were white, some were red, and some were black.
The mouths had different sizes and shapes. Some were screaming and some were crying.
"Alright, this is it. The door appeared from nowhere and we're about to enter it."
The scene in the crystal orb was blurred for a second and turned black.
Angele's brow furrowed, he tapped on the orb but nothing happened.
Several seconds later, light returned to the orb but the scene was still blurry.
The woman started talking again, she was breathing heavily while trying to speak.
"Finally… We finally made it out… Is this thing on?"
"Yeah… It's activated…" The young man's voice appeared; he sounded a bit anxious. "Mom, what was that thing?"
"It's a monster! Don't worry, it's just a monster, I'll protect you…" The scene in the orb shook again but it was still blurry.
"The orb can't record images anymore I guess. Alright, this is the 354th day since we entered the wooden door. My pet is trying to stop that thing behind the door but I don't know how long my pet will survive. We've been running for days and I hope we can escape the tunnel before it catches up."
"Mom…"
"Calm down… Don't worry! I'm here…" The woman was trying to calm the young man down.
PA*
The light disappeared from the orb again.
Several minutes later, the crystal orb glowed and he could hear the woman talking.
"That thing is still coming for us… It has been two years but it never gives up… I don't know what I can do. We need to find the exit…"
The scene inside the orb suddenly got clear, Angele could see a woman with dirty clothes and hair. The woman was wearing a black outfit and it seemed like she had not showered for years.
"Don't worry, boy. I'm with you…" The woman was holding her child in arms.
"Mother… It's painful…"
Her child's body was covered by a piece of black cloth and his face was pale. It seemed like he was sick or injured.
"Calm down… I'm with you… Don't worry…" The woman started shaking her child. "You're sick, you just need some rest…"
"Mother…" The child slowly fell asleep in the woman's arms.
"No worries, I'm with you… No worries… I won't let you die… I won't!" The woman's terrified expression reflected on the crystal orb.
Angele's brow furrowed as he watched the scene quietly.
The scene was blurred for a couple seconds. The next time Angele could see things clearly, the orb was already on the ground.
The woman was holding the dead body of her child in arms. She was shaking the dead body slightly while singing a cradle song.
"Sleep baby… Sleep…" She was not facing the crystal orb and it seemed like she was chewing something. She sang as she walked into the shadow.
Angele moved closer and noticed that she was chewing slowly on her child's arms. The dead body of her child barely had any flesh left on the bones.
The boy's arms and legs had no flesh left on them. The mother even chewed some of the bones into pieces. The boy's face was still in one piece; although he was dead, Angele could see the desperation in his wide opened eyes.
The scene quickly disappeared from the orb after and he could not hear anything else.
"What's this? The tunnel turned them crazy?" Angele muttered as he checked the surroundings.
The areas in front of him and behind him were all dark. The fireball on his shoulder was the only source of light here.
He could only find white bones and random items on the ground. Some of the bones already turned into dust—it looked like snow that would never melt.
He put the crystal orb into his pouch and started advancing again. The bones under his leather boots made some light noises.
Angele left the ground and floated in the air. He decided to fly instead of walking.Two months later…
DI*
A high-pitched noise suddenly appeared in the tunnel.
It was Angele—he was wearing the same brown leather armor, but its surface was covered with white dust. He slowly landed on the ground and looked at the area ahead.
"It has been two months… How long is this tunnel… I've been flying at full speed but I can't even reach the end," he muttered. "The biochip tells me when to eat and drink. It's understandable that people would go crazy in an environment like this…"
The tunnel was still deadly silent, he was the only living being here.
Lowering his head, Angele started checking the items on the ground again.
There were shields, weapons, accessories, and clothes. He removed all the worthless items and the dust in the air almost turned into a mist.
PA*
Angele picked up a black belt with silver edges and pulled it slightly.
"The items here are better than the items I found earlier…"
He rubbed the belt carefully and it released a thin silver glow. The glow disappeared after the light was absorbed by Angele's hands.
"A level 1 item…"
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes—he quickly determined the level of the damaged magic device.
"The elemental power in the belt is impure, I'd never absorb it if it was not the only way to restore my energy here… Also, I need to consume a lot of food to support my bloodline ability but I don't have much left. It's a problem."
BAM*
He dropped the belt into the bones and the dust splashed in the air again.
Angele took out several pieces of meat jerky and a small purple potion from the mirror. He threw the meat jerky into his mouth and drank some potion from the tube.
He rested for several minutes and started flying again.
The tunnel ahead was dark, it felt like the tunnel was endless and he only had one route.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, something different appeared ahead.
It was a wooden door with white edges and the door was built into the wall on the left side of the tunnel.
Angele landed in front of the wooden door and narrowed his eyes. A thin layer of red energy barrier appeared around his body.
He grabbed the handle on the door and twisted it slightly.
Crack*
The door opened and as a noise echoed in the tunnel.
The door was not fully opened, but the gap still revealed the red carpet on the ground.
Angele opened the wooden door and his body was immediately illuminated by white light.
Behind the door was a spacious hall with a red carpet on the floor.
There was music playing in the hall, it felt like the noise was from an old phonography. It was a woman singing in a voice that Angele could not understand at all. The voice was deep and strange.
The music sounded like a love song but Angele had no idea what the lyrics were.
Angele stood in front of the door and peeked through the gap.
On the other side of the hall was a large mirror. Angele's body was reflected in it.
He was a young man with red hair in the mirror, wearing tight leather armor that was covered in white dust. The long red hair was tied up and there was a rusty silver crossguard sword hanging on his belt.
Angele glanced around the hall, the wooden door was the only entrance and exit of the hall.
The only thing he could hear was the song the woman was singing.
He walked into the hall slowly and rubbed the yellow wallpaper carefully.
The wallpaper was a bit rough; he quickly tapped on it.
PA*
It seemed like there was nothing behind the wall.
Angele took a step back and hit the wall hard with his fist.
BAM*
The wall did not move an inch, the strike did not damage the wall at all.
"Huh?" Angele lowered his fist and formed a knife hand, and his body was surrounded by dark-red glow.
CHI*
He hit the wall with his knife hand.
PA*
The fingertips landed on the wall but nothing happened.
Angele's expression turned serious.
"Nothing happened even with the power of my true form…"
Suddenly, he found a moving shadow on the wall.
He quickly turned his head around and found walking clothes in the center of the hall. It felt like that there were invisible men and women wearing clothes. The clothes were dancing and moving around.
The clothes varied in color and style. Some were luxurious and some had lace on the edges.
The dancing clothes made different noises in the music.
Angele started moving backward carefully; he reached the door and was about to leave the area.
Suddenly, he found something that looked familiar.
A white dress.
The dress looked the same as the white dress worn by the woman in the painting.
He recognized the dress immediately.
The white dress was standing by the mirror quietly; the clothes beside the dress also looked familiar.
A white t-shirt and a pair of jeans.
"Xinrui's outfit…" Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes.
'Zero, analyze the environment for me now!'
'Analyzing… Visualizing the changes…'

CHI*
Some blue webs appeared in Angele's sight.
The blue webs disappeared within a second and everything returned to normal.
The clothes disappeared from the hall but the song was still going.
There were rows of blue data flashing in his sight. The numbers ranged from millions to single digits; also, the numbers were jumping back and forth.
'Unknown interruption detected, no force field detected, no signal received, environment analysis failed…
'No elemental energy detected, no force field model detected, no special energy detected, normal dimension, normal magnetic field, normal physical condition, no living beings found…'
Zero's report appeared in Angele's sight, there were rows of information.
'If so… Maybe I should do something to them…'
Black armor appeared on his right hand and he was ready to counter the possible attacks using the power of his true form.
He was walking backward and backed out of the wooden door slowly.
Suddenly, he gripped forward using the right hand.
The dark skin on his right arm quickly expanded, it turned into a large claw that had a length of over ten meters.
WOO*
The claw made loud noise as it moved to the location where the white dress and Xinrui's clothes were.
BAM*
The claw did not do anything, it just hit the wall with a loud noise and the whole hall started shaking.
The white dress and Xinrui's outfit dropped to the floor, turning into normal clothes.
Angele lowered his arm and grabbed the clothes. He wanted to take the clothes out of the room, however, the clothes turned into white ashes and slowly slid down the claw.
The claw turned into a human hand several seconds later.
Angele stared at the hall with a serious expression on his face. All the clothes he grabbed using the claw disappeared into the air.
The door suddenly closed as strong wind pushed Angele outside.
BAM*
The wooden door closed by itself and the whole frame collapsed seconds later. The wooden frame almost landed on Angele, he quickly grabbed and threw it to the side.
The place where the wooden door had been at turned into white wall with a rough surface; it almost felt like everything that'd just happened was an illusion.
Angele raised his right hand and looked at his fingers.
The white ashes from the clothes were still on his fingers.
"Interesting…"
Blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes.
"The ashes are just bone ashes…"
He checked the wooden frame, it was not made of anything special.
Ka-ta Ka-ta*
He heard heavy footsteps coming from ahead. Two black shadows with greatswords in hand were charging to Angele.
The black shadows were two female monsters covered in black scales. Their eyes were green and there were horns on their heads. The female monsters had mouths full of sharp teeth and almost looked like female swordsmen wearing tight black leather armor.
The two monsters were not shouting or anything, they just charged at Angele and slashed down with their greatswords that were over two meters long and surrounded by green glow.
Dang*
The two greatswords were blocked by a rusty silver crossguard sword as fire sparked in the air.
Angele's body numbed—he was paralyzed for a second. He just stood there and his body was out of control.
"Damn!" he cursed and watched the two greatswords land on his neck.
Clank*
The greatswords hit Angele's neck with a loud noise, however, they did no damage to him. The greatswords were deflected, and Angele released some red light that quickly sank into the two monsters' wrists.
Angele wanted to move but he was paralyzed again.
"A boring but annoying ability…"
His eyes were surrounded by bright red glow as he was staring at the two female monsters.
The two swordsmen-like monsters raised their greatswords and were about to slash down again. Suddenly, they stopped moving.
Red scorpion marks appeared on their foreheads.
"Die!" Angele caught the chance and the glow around his eyes got even brighter.
Blood spurted out of the monsters' foreheads and splashed on the tunnel's ceiling.
BAM BAM*
The two monsters fell to the ground and stopped moving.
Peace returned to the tunnel; the battle made the bone ashes fly again.
Angele straightened his back.
"I was paralyzed but it was not just that… My body shouldn't be paralyzed so easily, it felt like that the time stopped for a second."
He walked to the two dead monsters with his brow furrowed.
The two female monsters had large breasts, long slim legs, and tight butts. If they were not covered with black scales, they would be two beautiful women with great bodies.
Angele looked at the two monsters' faces—their faces were terrifying and weird.
Green eyes, sharp white teeth, and long black ears. It felt like their faces were smoked.
Angele crouched and picked up one of the greatswords they dropped.
The greatsword was made of green jade stones. The texture was cold and smooth. Angele could see the tiny cracks on the surface of the blade.
He checked the handguard of the sword, it was made of some well-crafted stones. They looked like two black snakes biting each other. The handle of the sword was so large that Angele could barely hold it with one hand.
A black handle with a green blade, the greatsword looked wild but clean.
Angele held the greatsword tightly and slashed at the wall.
Clank*
Some cracked white stones were slashed off the wall; strangely, the white thing just floated in the air without falling an inch.
About four seconds later, the white stones finally fell into the bones due to the gravity.
Angele rubbed the blade, he was satisfied with the result.
"It's a good weapon. It'd have taken me some time to take out the two monsters if I hadn't attacked using the pure energy from the negative emotions. With those weapons, they would be a huge threat if they got too close. I wonder if it's a dimension ability…"
'Zero, create a task and analyze the ability.'
'Task created… Insufficient information…
'More information is required to complete the analysis. The current success rate is lower than 12.7%. Needed time: Unknown. If the analysis starts, no other task can be created until the analysis is finished. Do you want to start the analysis?'
Angele's brow furrowed.
'The success rate is way too low… Don't create the task.'
He lifted the two greatswords and threw the mirror into the air.
The mirror rotated several times and landed on the left.
He then threw the two greatswords at the mirror.
CLANK*
The two greatswords were blocked by an invisible force field.
"Huh? They can't be stored in the mirror?" Angele hesitated for a second and tried again.
It felt like the two greatswords were blocked by something and just could not enter the mirror.
"Whatever…"
Angele waved his hand, the mirror turned into a ray of black light and returned to his hand. He collected the mirror and put the two greatswords on the side.
"Let me check those two monsters."
He crouched by one of the monsters and repositioned it.
He pressed on the monster's face; the skin was tough, it felt like touching the trunk of an old tree, but it was still slightly warm.
Angele opened the monster's eyes. The monster had green eyes and black pupils that looked like tiny black dots.
He opened the monster's mouth and looked at the sharp teeth inside. The monster had a long tongue that looked like the tongue of a snake.
Angele released the tongue and started checking the monster's body. Her body felt much harder than her face.
'Maybe her breasts are hard too…'
He was curious and he put his hands on the monster's breasts. Angele pressed the breasts, the black scale on her body was so hard that it felt like she was wearing metal armor.
He found a symbol that looked like a green snake with a pair of wings above her breasts. He was not sure what the symbol meant.
'The scale is hard but her defense is low… and this symbol…' Angele thought for a second and took out a small silver knife. He stabbed the knife into the dead body carefully.
He carefully cut the symbol out of her body and noticed that it was connected to some green veins. There was sticky glowing liquid coming out of them.
Angele analyzed the liquid using the biochip: it was a mixture of water, gems, and protein.
He moved his hand down to the monster's stomach and scanned the area slowly using the biochip.
"This thing has no excretory system or reproductive system… Such a strange creature…" Angele sighed. "However, she can still absorb the nutrients from the food easily…"
He held the silver knife in hand and stabbed it into the center of the monster's chest, cutting her stomach open.
CHI*
The monster's stomach was slashed open, revealing green and red organs.
Angele reached into the monster's body and took out some green organs. He lined up the organs on the side.
Several seconds later, he took out a green ball that looked like a balloon carefully. The ball had only one opening on the top; Angele was holding the opening using his fingers.
The ball was translucent and Angele could see what was inside. It was half filled with a bubbling light-blue liquid.
A drop of green liquid leaked out of the ball and landed on a bone.
CHI*
The bone could not handle the acidity—a black hole appeared on the bone and there was white smoke rising from it.
A stinky and sour smell quickly permeated the air.
Angele took out a piece of rectangular stone from the mirror and put it under the ball.
Another drop of liquid leaked out of the ball and landed on the stone piece, leaving a hole on the stone.
'Such a strong acid…' Angele's expression changed.
'The stone piece had the similar resistance as my true form but it still failed to handle the acidity…'
He shook the ball slightly.
'Maybe I can make it into an acid bomb…'

Chapter 588: Bones (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Angele took the stomach out of the other monster's body as well and sealed it with a gel-like substance. He coated the stomach with the bone ashes and threw it into his mirror.
He organized the items he was carrying and stood up. Angele decided to carry the two greatswords on his back.
He checked the mirror and noticed it was almost full.
'The mirror is almost full… I didn't think it was possible…'
He glanced at the white wall one final time and started advancing again. He decided to keep flying.
'Where did these two monsters come from?' He checked the surroundings carefully.
The tunnel was deadly silent. He checked the clock as he flew, but the time unit was still extremely small. It seemed like his body size was still the same, nothing changed after he shrank.
He kept flying until the biochip told him that it was food time. Angele landed on the ground and started resting. The only way to check time here was by checking the biochip's clock.
Another month passed.
There was no day and night in the tunnel. Angele did not encounter other monsters after that day, but he found several more wooden frames on the ground.
It seemed like the wooden frames were also from the white doors in the wall.
Angele checked the wooden frames and the wall, he was still trying to find an entrance, but nothing worked and he decided not to waste time on it.
The bones and items on the ground were getting stronger as he proceeded….One year later…
CHI*
A dot of yellow light was flying in the dark tunnel at full speed, leaving a light trail behind.
Minutes later, the yellow light dot slowed down and landed on the ground. It was Angele, who was covered in white dust.
His leather armor, skin, and hair were all coated with white ashes. No one would know what the original color of his outfit was.
He landed on the ground without any problem and stepped on the white bones. Angele crouched and knocked on the bones he just found. The bones looked like they were from a spider.
PA*
It almost sounded like he was knocking on a piece of wood.
"That's much harder than I expected… The bones here were probably from the creatures with the power of rank 3 wizards… After so many years, those bones are still strong…" He looked at the area ahead, all he could see were bones.
The air here still stank.
Angele noticed that there were countless scratches on the walls.
He rubbed the walls and noticed that the scratches were thin. It seemed like the scratches were left on the walls unintentionally.
Some of the scratches on the left formed a large character but Angele was not sure what it meant.
The character had the size of a human's head and it looked like a "5" that was upside down.
Angele removed the dust from the surface of the character so that he could have a better view of it.
"I can feel that… there's something going on here…"
Angele's eyes were surrounded by a red glow; he closed his eyes and slowly put his fingers on the character.
A strange message was sent into Angele's mind by some remaining mentality wave.
"Anco… Misubu… I conquered the land because it's endless. I conquered the sky because it's also endless. Everything in this world is my son… I advance because I'll never look back…'
A deep voice echoed in Angele's mind; it felt like the voice was whispering to his soul. A creature with a weak soul might just kneel after hearing the voice because the voice was magical.
Angele snorted and released some dark smoke. There were white masks rolling in the smoke, they started singing in the air.
"Are you trying to take over my mind using a random picture? Arrogant!"
Raising his hand, a large shadow of a monster scorpion behind him.
The masks were just repeating the same sentence.
"I'm Lord of Terror…"
Angele's hand was surrounded by the shadow of a claw and slowly pressed on the wall.
WOO*
The shadow of the scorpion claw was glowing, however, it seemed like the power inside the strange character was also strong.
Angele's expression changed.
"It has been years but the power is still strong… This thing almost had the same power level as me!"
BAM*
The symbol on the wall exploded. Countless cracks appeared on the wall, and the strange force field also disappeared.
The claw shadow slowly disappeared from Angele's hand and he carefully pressed on the symbol.
Although he won, his expression was still serious.
'This is the tunnel to a strong realm… Based on the analysis result from Zero, the symbol's over 2000 years old! A weakened mentality wave that's 2000 years old almost had the same power level as mine; the one who left the symbol must be extremely strong!' Angele realized that there must be a lot of strong beings in the Lost Realm.
He checked the area ahead, it was still endless darkness. It felt like he would never reach the end of the tunnel.
"I found someone who was as strong as me here, which means…"
He inhaled deeply and tried his best to calm down.
"The bones on the ground are getting stronger and stronger. I assume that I'm getting close to the end of the tunnel. I wonder what the Lost Realm looks like…"
He glanced at the wall again and found several more items in the bones. He absorbed all the elemental power from the items and started flying again.
However, the path was still dark.
The two white walls of the tunnel were moving backward in his sight and there were white ashes splashing in the air.
Suddenly, Angele stopped moving and floated over some large bones.
He opened his mouth but failed to spit out a word. His throat was dry and he was having trouble breathing.
The dead body on the ground was over three meters tall, there were twisted spikes on his shoulders and head.
It was a giant who was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall. It seemed like he was just resting before he died.
Angele's expression changed several times. He looked at the giant's bones and exhaled slowly.
'This big guy is the one who left the symbol on the wall…'
He noticed that the remaining mentality wave of the giant was the same as the one he found from the symbol.
'How did a strong being like him die? He wasn't injured and there was no battle here… How did he die?!'
Angele realized that Bone Tunnel might be more dangerous than he'd thought. The giant had the same power level as his refined true form but he just died here like a nobody.
Angele was one of the strongest beings among the realms he had traveled but things had changed.
"I need to check his bones now so I can find out the truth…"
Blue light dots flashed in his eyes, he landed by the bones and released two rays of blue light from his eyes. He scanned the giant's bones.
'No damage detected on the bones. No remaining soul detected. Reason of death: Unknown. Chance of natural death: 72%.'
The result was a bit surprising.
'For strong beings like us, we can live at least 100 thousand years… I don't think he died because he was too old…'
Suddenly, Angele noticed that something happened behind him so he quickly turned around.
A white wooden door appeared on the wall behind him, but he had no idea when it happened.
The door was tightly closed and the bronze handle of the door was rusty.
When Angele was still looking at the bronze handle; the handle started moving. It felt like someone was trying to open the door from the other side.
PA PA PA*
The handle moved but the door was not opened. It seemed like the one on the other side was getting nervous and the handle was moving faster than before.
The noise made by the handle was loud in the quiet tunnel.
Angele stood in front of the door quietly and watched the handle move.
About two minutes later.
The handle finally stopped moving, it seemed like the one from the other side gave up. The noise disappeared and the tunnel became quiet again.
Suddenly, Angele grabbed the handle and twisted it hard.
Crack*
The door opened.
Gentle sunlight shined upon Angele's body, face, and long hair.
Narrowing his eyes, Angele peeked through the door.
Behind the door was a golden sky and illuminated clouds looked like well-organized staircases.
Angele walked closer to the door and checked the area.
It seemed like the door was floating in the sky and there was nothing around t. The golden sky was endless.
The white door just stood over the clouds and it was the only thing here. A lonely wooden door.
Angele wanted to move his head into the door.
BAM*
His head hit an invisible barrier.
Angele hesitated and raised his hand.
An invisible barrier blocked the door and he could not enter. The barrier was like glass in a window.
He tapped on the barrier slightly, it was hard, cold, and smooth.
Angele released some red light and coated his fingertips with it. He then knocked on the barrier again.
PA*
The barrier was not damaged at all.
"What does it mean? I can open the door but I can't enter it."
Angele hesitated for a second and returned to the dead giant. He crouched and found a black notebook by the giant's waist.
It was an item he saw when he was scanning the bones.
Angele opened the notebook slowly. The paper was covered with characters like the one he found on the wall.
The white characters lined up on the black paper.
Angele rubbed the characters one by one using his fingers.
The messages stored in the characters were transferred into his mind slowly.
"Bone Tunnel, the tunnel to the Lost Realm. This is the Bone Realm, the Bone Realm is the Lost Realm. The Lost Realm is the tunnel. I'm deep in the dimension maze, the time and space here are a mess but nothing will stop me…"

Chapter 589: Bones (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
"Every 1000 years, I write down a message, and the time has come again. There's no energy supply, no food supply, and the only thing I can do is to seal myself. I can't find another way to survive. I've already forgotten the reason why I entered the Lost Realm.
"I don't remember the time but I'm certain that my memory is correct. I've been here about 300 years ago which means I'm in the maze again… I conquered everything… Will this be my end?
"I finally found the truth, this is the intestine of the world, the dimension maze. No creature leaves the intestine before everything is turned into nutrients… The realm consumes strong creatures to survive… There's no easy way out…
"I just opened another door, same monsters, same endings. They are just endless…"
Angele's finger stopped at the last character.
He already turned several pages and read all the characters.
'The abandoned intestine of the world? A dimension maze?' Angele had never heard of something like that.
He checked the giant's bones again but did not find any valuable items. It felt like the notebook was the only thing the giant had.
Angele found a line that was engraved into the ground on the right side of the giant.
He pressed on the line and received another message through the mentality wave.
"Keep moving forward!"
Angele could feel the dedication from the remaining mentality wave.
Angele sighed with mixed emotions and bowed to the giant's bones.
"You're a respectable being, at least you did whatever you could to pursue your goal."
He checked the surroundings and noticed that there were far fewer bones here; he could see the ground under the bones clearly.
Angele tried to contact the Nightmare Realm, however, he could not find any trace of it. That meant that he could not teleport back to the Nightmare Realm.
All the dimension power was restricted in this area.
He turned around and looked at the golden sky behind the door.
He found some strange runes on the frame of the door. It felt like someone engraved the runes into it; the runes looked like the characters on the giant's notebook.
Raising his hand, Angele rubbed the runes slightly.
"Three million years ago. Cloud Realm."
A message came from the runes.
'Three million years ago, what does it mean? The sky behind the door is a random realm from three million years ago?' Angele's brow furrowed. 'This Bone Tunnel is just confusing…'
CHI*
The wooden door slowly closed and Angele was pushed away by an invisible force, he could no longer move any closer to the door.
BAM*
The door fully closed and the golden light disappeared. The wooden frame detached itself from the wall, fell to the ground, and broke into pieces.
Angele's fireball became the only source of light in the tunnel again.
The dim light was nowhere close to the bright light from the sky.
Angele started searching the bones again. Only two other skeletons had the same power level as the giant but there was nothing around them. He assumed that their items decayed over the years.
'Also, why does the realm turn everything into nutrients…?' Angele stood up from the last skeleton he examined. 'Anyway, I need to keep moving, I'll find the answer sooner or later…'
He glanced at the giant's skeleton for one final time and started flying again.
About half an hour later, he found another white door on the wall.
He slowly landed in front of the door and put his hand on the handle without any hesitation.
KA*
The door opened.
Behind the door was a room furnished full of paintings and with a blood-red carpet. The engravings on the golden walls looked like roses and the paintings were hanging in the air.
The paintings had different themes: he saw a castle in the forest, a small house on a snowy mountain, a grass plain, and some abandoned city.
Angele stood by the entrance and glanced at the paintings. There were around 20 paintings and all of them looked nice.
Strangely, he found a red skeleton of a centaur in the center of the room.
There was a black spear in the skeleton's arm and a silver shell was hanging from its neck.
Angele walked into the room slowly.
PA*
The centaur skeleton slowly stood up and some white smoke came out of its empty eyes.
The centaur skeleton pulled the spear out of its arm and opened its mouth. It seemed like the skeleton was trying to roar.
A strong wind blew over Angele's body and his long hair was flying in the air.
Angele's expression changed, he took one step back and heard some light noise. He noticed that the door behind was closed.
"Is this the process of turning me into nutrients?" He turned around and looked at the skeleton.
The skeleton raised the spear; there were black electric pulses sparking around the weapon. The electric pulses gathered on the tip of the spear as a large pair of shadow wings appeared behind the skeleton.
The air in the room became sticky, it felt like the air was turning into jelly.
The centaur held the spear tight and threw it forward.
The black spear flew toward Angele with the black electric pulses around it, however, it suddenly stopped in the air. The power on the spear was getting stronger and stronger. It felt like the spear was gathering energy.
Finally, the black spear started moving again—it turned into a black string and flew at Angele like lightning.
Angele did not think the spear would be a problem to him, but the power level of the spear quickly passed the power level of a rank 5 wizard and it was still growing stronger.
Angele's expression changed.
'Earth!' he shouted in the mind.
Pieces of black stones and mud appeared on his body. The stones and mud gathered on the surface of his skin. His height and body size were increasing at full speed.
Angele quickly created two dark greatswords in his hands and slashed forward. The greatswords soared through the air.
They hit the flying spear without any problem.
CLANK*
The two greatswords were destroyed. Angele's body leaned back due to the impact, and the earth armor on his body was cracked.
However, he successfully blocked the spear, which slowly returned to the skeleton's hand.
"Oblivion!" the skeleton shouted using the mentality wave.
The skeleton hit the floor using the tip of the spear and released some black energy waves. The energy waves were expanding in all directions.
The energy waves moved toward Angele and surrounded his feet. They almost formed a circle around him.
The skeleton raised the spear and pointed it at Angele.
CHI CHI CHI CHI*
Countless black spears appeared in the air around Angele's body and all stepped into his body, turning him into a hedgehog.
Angele was hit by the spears after he recovered from the impact, he had no time to think and activated the second battle style when the spears broke through his mud armor.
"Lion!"
BAM*
All the black spears were deflected and quickly disappeared into the air.
Angele turned into a strong lion man with dark-red skin within seconds; there was a pair of wings on his back, and his muscular body looked like a well-crafted stone statue. There was some thick dark fur around his neck.
'My second battle style… It has been a while since the last time I activated it…' Angele's three battle styles were Earth, Lion, and Light. They all had their advantages; with the three battle styles, he could maximize his power output without transforming into the refined true form.
Earth gave him incredible defensive and recovery abilities. He could easily handle a damage spell from a rank 5 wizard and barely needed any energy to activate this style.
Lion would strengthen his skin and muscles. It would also increase his strength and speed. He would be able to handle the creatures with the same power level as rank 6 or rank 7 wizards. He could also create around ten lion men when the style was activated. The lion men shadows were improved based on the lion men Angele could summon.
The third battle style was called Light, it was the final form that he created based on his understanding of Siva State. He had never activated it yet. He thought that Light was a stronger form than his refined true form but he could not handle the cost of using it at the moment.
Angele turned into a lion man and created a greatsword that was covered with burning flames in hand. There were red and blue light dots flashing in front of his eyes.
CHI*
Angele started creating shadows of lion men. He created two at first, and the two lion men quickly turned into eight.
The eight lion men formed a circle around the centaur skeleton.
Two of the lion men had green jade stone greatswords in their hands instead of flaming greatswords.
ROAR*
The eight lion men charged at the centaur skeleton and slashed forward from different angles.
The centaur skeleton raised its hooves and stomped.
BAM*
The white energy waves the centaur skeleton released slowed the lion men down.
The centaur skeleton's wings swang in the air several times as it quickly drew a circle around him using the black spear.
The space was slashed through by the spear and turned into a dark circle that blocked the attacks from different angles.
BAM BAM BAM*
The lion men were blown away by the impact; five of them were slashed into pieces right away. They fell to the ground and turned into red lava. One of the three remaining lion men threw the green jade stone greatsword at the skeleton.
Clank*
The green jade stone greatsword hit the tip of the black spear and was deflected right away.
The skeleton suddenly stopped moving, it just stood there with the spear in hand and it seemed like it was ready to block any incoming attack. A large black hole appeared in the center of its chest and continued to expand.
The last three lion men roared and charged at the skeleton again. One of them picked up the green jade stone greatsword on the way.
In the shadow of the room, a ball of red flames was hiding by the red lava on the ground. There was a pair of red eyes in the flames, watching the battle quietly. It was Angele, he turned himself into pure energy.
He created the eight lion men who had the same power level as rank 6 wizards and turned his body into pure fire energy.
'The second battle style is not working… Using the bloodline to fight relies too much on my talent ability… If I don't really have a choice, there are no good spells for this situation… The skeleton will win if this continues…'
The black scorpion mark slowly appeared between his brow.
The temperature in the room started increasing rapidly. It increased from 20 degrees Celsius to over 100 degrees Celsius within seconds, but that wasn't the end. The place was getting hotter and hotter.

Chapter 590: Halfway (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
WOO*
The carpet on the ground was ignited and started burning immediately. A sulfurous smell quickly permeated the air.
The battle between the lion men and the centaur skeleton lasted for about one minute and the temperature in the room was increased to over 1000 degrees Celsius.
The walls were red and the carpet was burning, however, none of them turned into ashes under such a high temperature. They just kept burning.
The centaur skeleton was slowed down and its body was surrounded by black electric sparks.
The temperature kept increasing and reached 5000 degrees Celsius after a while.
The black scorpion symbol was flashing between his brow and there were three balls of flames spinning in his pupils. He just looked at the centaur skeleton and waited to see what it would do next.
'This is the talent ability that I hate the most. The bloodline ability of Son of Sun, Heat Hell… I want to know how long you can survive in this environment.'
BAM*
One of the lion men was blown away and his head was crushed. The lion man fell to the ground and turned into a pile of lava.
The last two lion men were buffed as the temperature increased. The destroyed lion men's power all gathered in the last two lion men's bodies, there were just two of them but they had the power of eight.
The two lion men were swinging the green jade stone greatswords so fast that the greatswords almost turned into blurry shadows. The greatswords would paralyze the skeleton for a second or two after the hits landed, however, the lion men would be blown away by the impact.
Angele hid in the lava; the outfit and underwear he was wearing all perished under the high temperature. He had no way to protect them from the temperature and the crossguard sword he had also already melted. The two green jade stone greatswords melted slightly but they were not severely damaged.
He was trying his best to make sure that his pouches and mirror were fine.
'This is just one of the random rooms in Bone Tunnel, maybe I'm only halfway to the exit. The centaur skeleton is much stronger than I expected. I wonder if the monsters in other rooms are stronger…' Angele stared at the centaur skeleton and hesitated.
The temperature in the room was still increasing.
8000.
9000.
10000!
Air bubbles appeared on the surface of the walls, however, the hanging paintings were not impacted. The fire disappeared from the carpet, what left was some black ashes.
The black electric pulses around the centaur skeleton started flashing and the surface of its red bones slowly turned dark.
'Finally, it's working…' Angele felt a bit relieved.
ROAR*
The centaur skeleton raised its head and roared. He pushed the two lion men away and two more bone arms appeared behind its back. The skeleton suddenly started growing and its height reached four meters.
"The backbone of the world!" a deep voice shouted, the skeleton was speaking in the Chaos language.
The black hole in the center of the centaur skeleton glowed and a galaxy circle appeared in the air. It was slowly spinning in the darkness.
The stars in the galaxy circle varied in color and were rotating around a golden sun.
The centaur skeleton raised its black spear and turned around, pointing it at Angele, who was still hiding in the lava.
A bright light dot appeared on the tip of the spear as the weapon flew toward Angele's eyes like a meteor.
CHI*
The spear suddenly stopped in front of his eyes; the tip of the spear was only ten centimeters away from him.
The centaur skeleton roared but it just could not move the spear any further. A lion man behind the skeleton slashed down with a green jade stone greatsword.
"It's over."
Angele recreated his body using the flames, and his right hand turned into a ray of white light and stabbed into the skeleton's skull like a white spike.
The white light disappeared from his right hand within seconds.
The three fireballs spinning in Angele's eyes also disappeared slowly.
"If you hadn't tried to gather all you power in the spear, I wouldn't have been able to break through your defense. Sadly, you are not an intelligent being; the story would have been different if you had been smart."
The Sun Hell of Son of Sun removed one-third of the skeleton's defensive force field and the skeleton's spear drained another one-third of its defensive force field. Angele caught the chance and destroyed its skull.
KA*
The galaxy circle in the skeleton's chest collapsed and the whole skeleton was destroyed. The bones all fell to the ground.
Angele remained calm and released another ball of dark flames toward the bones.
BOOM*
The fireball exploded and there were black ghost masks in the smoke. He could hear the ghost masks scream in the air.
The bones of the centaur skeleton were blown into pieces and were no longer moving.
Blue light shined in Angele's eyes; he glanced around and sighed.
He walked to the black spear and pulled it out of the ground. The spear had a long and smooth body that was covered with a line of blue runes. The runes were still glowing slightly.
Crack*
The black spear suddenly cracked, it broke into pieces like it was made of glass. The cracked spear quickly fell to the ground.
Angele checked the remaining bones of the centaur skeleton but did not find anything.
"Those bones are just normal bones, they are just like the bones outside."
He stood up and his brow furrowed. Angele started checking the paintings.
"The secret of this room is probably hiding in the paintings."
He walked to a random painting.
The painting was an endless sea and there was a brown island in the center of it. There were several groups of white birds above the island.
Angele noticed that the waves on the sea were moving after he stared at it for a while.
PA*
He suddenly heard the noise made by the waves and he could even smell the ocean. Angele even felt that there was wet wind blowing over his face.
Twitter*
The birds above the island started twittering.
Angele stood in front of the painting and watched the things in it move. The birds were rotating and the gentle sunlight was illuminating the surface of the sea.
"Well…" Angele exhaled deeply and looked at the next painting on the left.
It was a painting of a white castle that was built on a mountain. Tree branches were waving in the wind and there were caterpillars moving slowly on them. The sky was blocked by the gray clouds.
He could see people walk by the windows of the castle.
"They are not paintings… They are windows…" Angele sighed and looked at other paintings.
The paintings were all windows that showed the general situations of other realms.
Angele looked at the castle again and slowly reached to it.
He had no problem reaching into the frame of the painting and could even grab the leaves on the tree.
The leaves were smooth and cold. It was something that Angele had never experienced.
He grabbed a leaf and sniffed at it. The smell was spicy and minty.
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes; he slowly put down the tree leaf several seconds later.
'No energy detected… Another realm with no energy particles?'
He walked to other paintings and tested them one by one. The paintings were all connected to random realms; it felt like that this room was full of small portals. The room was somehow connected to a lot of realms.
The realms he tested all shared one similarity: none of them had energy particles, which meant that they were all weak realms.
He double-checked everything but failed to find any strong realms.
"Maybe I should keep advancing…" He stood by the painting and hesitated.
'The guardian of this room had the power level of a rank 7 wizard, if I encounter something stronger on my way to the next room…'
He thought of the giant that was probably stronger than him—a strong being like that still died in this tunnel.
Angele wanted to find a way to advance to Siva State but he did not want to give up his life for no reason.
'I should move forward. If I can't find anything valuable, I'll return to my world.'
Finally, he made the decision and picked up the two green jade stone greatswords.
He looked at the paintings for one final time and left the room.
KA*
The door closed by itself as Angele left the room. The wooden frame fell off the wall and landed on the bones again.
Angele looked at the two green jade stone greatswords in his hand, the blades were covered with dark cracks and it felt like they could break at any time.
"They've reached the limit…"
Shaking his head, Angele dropped the two greatswords on the ground.
He thought for a while and decided to carry one of the damaged greatswords on his back. He also took out a small ball that looked like a beehive from the mirror.
The ball had the size of a palm and was covered with holes; there were black flies coming out of the ball from time to time.
"Nest of Torus, one of the rare items I created over the years… Maybe it'll be useful today…" He looked at the beehive in his hand and bit on the tip of his finger. He then dropped some blood on the beehive.
After some strange noises, countless black flies left the beehive and formed a black mist. They all charged at Angele's blood like bees that found honey.
This was one of the two strong magic devices Angele developed using his ability, these two magic devices could help him utilize his bloodline power.
The first one was called Nest of Torus and the other one was a ring that was called Ring of Fenrir.
Nest of Torus was used for offense and Ring of Fenrir was used for defense.
Angele held Nest of Torus in hand and floated in the air. He started flying again.
He kept flying and had no idea how long had passed. Angele felt that he was getting tired.
DING*
The biochip warned him of new doors.
"Again…" Angele slowed down and landed on the ground.
He found a white wooden door on the right. The rusty handle looked the same as the handle of the last door.
There were only several skeletons in this area and there was barely any bone ash on the ground.
Angele checked the two skeletons using the biochip and noticed they were still releasing energy waves.
He quickly took down the green jade stone greatsword and threw it toward the skeletons.
KA*
The greatsword was broken into pieces by some invisible forces before it could touch the skeletons.
Angele's pupils retracted slightly.
'I can't even break the green jade stone greatswords using the power of my true form… These two skeletons might have had the same power level as the ancestors when they were still alive. Their force fields are still up after they died…'

Chapter 591: Halfway (2)

Angele decided not to get too close to the skeletons, so he went around and approached the door. He was holding the ball in one hand and the door handle in the other.
He hesitated before opening the door.
'According to my last encounter, if there's a monster in this room, the monster should be weaker than the two skeletons, but…'
KA*
The door was suddenly opened from the other side. It felt like someone inside the door opened it before Angele could do anything.
A strong force dragged Angele into the room immediately.
The room looked identical to the last room, the same red carpet and the paintings were positioned the same, however, the scenes inside the paintings were different.
A tall green mountain, a clear river, a yellow desert, and a dark night.
Also, there was a rotten body of an old woman sitting on a chair in the center of the room.
The rotten body was wearing a white dress and a hat with flowers on top. The hat covered her face and there were some blue flowers on her knees. The flowers looked so fresh that it almost felt like they were just picked.
Angele looked at the rotten body carefully and slowly stepped into the room.
"It has been a while since the last living being was here…" The rotten body suddenly raised her head, revealing her dried face. There were no eyeballs in her eyes and only dried muscles were left on the left half of her face.
The rotten woman noticed that Angele thought she was about to start a battle.
She scratched her face and tried to make it look like that she was smiling.
"Welcome, my guest."
"Welcome?" Angele checked the surroundings carefully, he noticed that the woman was speaking in the Chaos language. "Finally, someone that knows how to communicate. I should be happy, but I'm just not in the mood. Lady, I still think you're a threat to me."
"You're probably right, I'll lose my mind after my heart bumps 500 times and kill you." The woman smiled. "I'm still conscious right now, so yeah, you can talk to me for a while."
"Can I ask you some questions?"
"Sure."
Angele thought for a while and started asking.
"What is Bone Tunnel? How do I leave the tunnel and enter the Lost Realm or another strong realm?" He went straight to the important questions. He had no interest in who the woman was.
"Bone Tunnel? So that's what you call this area? It's actually quite appropriate…" The woman stopped for a second and continued, "We call this place the intestine of the world; this is a dimension maze, which means this area is the origin of the realms. The intestine of the world is an abandoned maze of a strong realm."
She leaned to the side and looked at the paintings.
"Can you see these paintings? Those paintings are entrances to other realms. If you can find the truth of the maze and walk out of it, you'll then be able to enter the paintings."
"What do you mean? How do I leave this maze?" Angele questioned in a deep tone.
"There's no real answer to that. You might be able to enter the realms through the paintings, but I don't know the truth of the maze. Also, if you do find a way to leave the maze, you might be able to enter the Chaos Realm." The old woman chuckled, her voice was clean and crisp. "Didn't you notice that the further you go, the stronger the skeletons are?"
"Well, I know about the bones but I still don't think this is a maze…" Angele noticed that he was getting closer to the real answer.
The old woman looked at Angele's face and said, "This is a dimension maze; if you can't find the truth of the maze, you'll be trapped in time, and you won't be able to return to your start point. Also, this is a never-ending tunnel…
"Do you know that this is an area from 26 million years ago and you've reached your limit? If you proceed further, the creatures you encounter will be stronger and stronger. After you reach a certain point, you'll become part of the world's origin and part of the chaos."
BAM BAM BAM*
He suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from outside.
A strong but invisible force appeared outside the door.
Angele's body was impacted by the force and he started trembling. The owner of the force had the similar power level as an ancestor.
"Wait… This mentality wave…"
He recalled the moment he found the mentality wave of the giant, the strong being that decided not to retreat.
The two mentality waves were identical but the power level was totally different.
"An arrogant creature that wanted to conquer the maze… You've seen his skeleton a couple days ago, right?" The woman smiled again. "Young one, you are losing yourself."
Angele could feel that his heart was racing, however, he was not tricked by the woman's words, but carefully put his right hand on the white ring that he was wearing on his left hand.
"I probably overestimated my own power, also, about the 500 heart bumps you mentioned…"
Before Angele could finish his word, the woman's body suddenly started trembling and the flowers on her knees quickly shrank. Several seconds later, the flowers turned into a couple of yellow seeds, which slowly disappeared.
Under the woman's chair, a white ring started expanding slowly. The ring was pushing in all directions and the red carpet on the ground would disappear after contacting the ring. In the effective range of the ring, some blue and white flowers blossomed.
Several seconds later, half of the floor was covered by the flowers.
Angele just realized that the time had come. He looked at the white circle with a serious expression on his face. With a flick of his finger, he released some red light into the white circle.
The red light quickly disappeared into the sky.
His expression changed and he threw the Nest of Torus into the air.
The next started spinning in the air and quickly released countless black flies. The flies almost looked like a black fog and were all moving toward the old woman. They were not impacted by the white circle at all.
The black flies all had glowing red eyes and were charging toward the old woman like crazy.
Rays of red light flashed in the room and illuminated the old woman in the center.
WOO*
All the red rays suddenly stopped in the air, they fell to the flowers and quickly disappeared.
Angele roared and his body expanded. He released black smoke through his eyes, nose, and ears. The black smoke disappeared several seconds later, revealing his dark-red armor.
He activated his refined true form, a large scorpion that looked like a monster. The scorpion had a dark-and-red body, it also had over ten pairs of legs.
However, the size of the scorpion was much smaller than before, it only had a height of two meters.
When he activated his refined true form, the Nest of Torus vibrated and released a lot of red flies. The red flies also charged at the old woman.
ROAR*
Angele raised his right claw; his power level was the same as a rank 8 wizard. He released some black smoke, which moved toward the old woman as well.
There were screaming white masks in the black smoke.
BAM*
The scorpion claw hit the rotten body on the chair, but then the claw disappeared right away.
"Ugh!"
Angele groaned, his whole right arm disappeared into the air.
The white circle on the floor was slowed down.
'Damn! I can't even stop the aura; the power of that thing is on a whole different level! I need to leave now!' He was having trouble handling the intense pain. He stepped back and used the left hand to twist the handle.
PA*
He pulled the handle out of the door but the door was still closely sealed.
Angele checked the center of the room—the old woman was still trembling and black bubbles appeared on her rotten body. New bubbles would pop up after the old ones exploded.
The white aura was moving closer and closer to him.
The black smoke released by Angele could not stop the aura at all. The nest in the air was also smoking, and it seemed like it could break at any time.
CHI*
One of Angele's feet had already touched the edge of the aura and his foot disappeared immediately. The blood spurting out of his wound was also swallowed by the aura.
He had to move closer to the wall. He could hear his heart racing; it felt like that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
The life-threatening situation made his head extremely clear.
He activated the Ring of Fenrir, which was on the middle finger of his left hand.
A small diamond-shaped black crystal appeared on top of the ring, but it was just a shadow. At the same time, a diamond-shaped barrier also appeared around his body.
Angele felt a bit relieved.
"This ring can handle ten level 8 spells, and I think…"
The edge of the barrier contacted the aura when he was still muttering.
CHI CHI*
It sounded like meat being roasted. The aura was blocked by the barrier and stopped expanding.
The shadow of the purple diamond over Angele's ring was fading away at a fast rate.
"The same power level as an ancestor…" Angele's body was aching. He was still releasing dark smoke, which was being absorbed by the ring. For some reason, a smile appeared on his face.
He glanced at the rotten body for one last time, turned around, and started running.
Angele threw the ring away and jumped into one of the paintings.
BOOM*
The ring and the nest suddenly exploded. There were white masks screaming and dark fireballs in the explosion.
Angele turned his head around when he jumped into the painting—the rotten body was standing up from the chair and the length of its neck increased as the head was charging at Angele like a snake.
The dark fireballs and black smoke caught up to the old woman's head, they swallowed everything.
Angele heard some noises coming from behind, it sounded like windows being cracked. His skin ached, it felt like someone was pulling his flesh and skin down his bones.
His sight blurred and he could not see anything. Again, he heard something screaming behind, it sounded like a mooing cow.
After the scream, something hit his back hard and his back numbed.
Angele could barely stay conscious, he turned his body into a crossguard sword using the rest of his mentality, but he had no idea what happened later.

Chapter 592: Opportunity (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
In a large forest with countless vibrant green trees, there was a tall yellow mountain that looked like a piece of a cake standing among the trees, its tip surrounded by white mist.
The top of the mountain was flat and covered with green moss.
WOO*
Something soared through the gray sky.
On the far side of the mountain, a dark-red crossguard sword was falling. The sword rotated like a red wheel and stabbed into the mountain.
CLANK*
With a noise, half of the blade stabbed into the ground. The handle of the sword that remained above looked like a strange scorpion with a red body.
Suddenly, the blade trembled and a red dot was released from the tip of the handle, quickly disappearing in the sky.
Time slowly passed and the season changed. A thick layer of snow covered the surface of the mountain; the snow melted after the spring came, but the mountain was covered again the next winter.
Ka-ta Ka-ta*
The wind was blowing, the trees and the ground were all covered by the snow.
On the cliff, someone was walking on the snow at a steady pace.
Several minutes later, an old man with white hair appeared beside the sword. He was carrying a basket on his back, which was filled up with herbs.
"Why is there a sword here?" He walked to the dark-red crossguard sword and crouched. "This is the Herb Mountain, why would someone with a sword climb this mountain? Maybe it's the Mountaineers…" the old man muttered. He noticed that the surface of the crossguard sword and the handle were covered with rust and moss.
He grabbed the handle and tried to pull it out of the ground.
Then, the old man shook his head and said, "That's deep… Strange…"
He was speaking in the Chaos language.
He hesitated and looked at the sword for a while. However, it was getting dark, and the old man decided to leave.
Time passed.
Ten days later. It was a morning with bright sunlight.
There were four people climbing the mountain. One of them was the old man that approached the sword before. The other three were teenagers that varied in gender but were all wearing tight green outfits.
"Matt, is this the area where you found the sword?" a young girl asked.
"It's right there. Go take a look." The old man pointed at the red sword by the cliff.
The three teenagers cheered and rushed toward the strange sword on the ground.
They surrounded the sword and tried to dig it out of the ground using shovels and such. However, nothing worked—the area around the sword was extremely hard and they could barely stab their shovels into the ground. It seemed like metal tools were not good enough for that.
"Someone probably stabbed the sword into the ground intentionally after reading some strange novels. Let's just head back, there's no point digging it out…"
"True, it doesn't look like an old sword. Someone probably crafted it recently and put it here as a joke."
Two young men and a young woman only managed to dig some of the mud out. They got impatient as it got dark, so they decided to leave.
Many other people heard about the rumor and visited the sword; they all tried to dig or pull it out, but none succeeded.
Years passed.
The red sword was coated with a thick layer of dust, which turned into a sheath. The sheath was getting thicker and thicker as time went.
The metal part of the sword was covered by the sheath made of mud and dust. It looked like a sword-shaped brown stone pillar.
The surface of the stone pillar was covered with thick green moss and there were even flowers growing from it.
People treated it like a tourist attraction and kept visiting it.
However, several years later, people lost their interest and stopped coming.
The sword-shaped stone pillar turned from a rumor into a legend and was forgotten by people.
No one visited the stone pillar after that. But the stone pillar was still getting thicker. Several years later, the pillar lost its sword-like shape and just looked like a normal stone pillar.
There were still people passing by, such as tourists, mountaineers, soldiers, and criminals. There were even people who suicided by jumping off the cliff.
The birds and monkeys would stand on the stone pillar from time to time.
They did not know what was hiding in the stone pillar.
It was a tall mountain and there were not many people living in the area.
Time flew, and more than one hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.One hundred years later…
The golden sunlight of the spring illuminated the surface of the mountain, the light was bright but not warm.
On the edge of the brown cliff, a young man in a black outfit was climbing up the mountain using a rope.
He was sweating heavily; although his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears looked nice, when combined on his face, it looked a bit ugly.
The young man was exhausted, but there was still determination in his eyes. His body was strong, but he still lay on the cliff and started breathing heavily after he reached the top.
"So, this is the Herb Mountain? It's a much easier trip when compared to the Andy Mountain…" the young man muttered, looking disappointed. He stood up and walked to the black stone pillar in front of him.
After he approached the pillar, he put his hand on it while overlooking the trees under the cliff.
The young man inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. It almost looked like that there was white mist coming out of his mouth.
He lowered his hand and straightened his back. The man suddenly swung his arms slightly and a thin layer of gray dust dropped down his body. It was the mud and dust from the surface of the mountain.
The young man started practicing a set of fist skills after removing the dust from his body. His movements were slow but steady. It felt like there were heavy objects on his wrists. The young man had impressive footwork, he looked like a monkey that was preparing for a battle.
Steam rose from the young man's head as he repeated the fist skill set several times.
Suddenly, he hit the stone pillar hard with his fists.
BAM*
Two deep handprints were left on the stone pillar.
"Ah…"
The young man exhaled slowly and closed his eyes to rest.
"I spent three years to get here from Mountain Kora. I never rested a day, but I still can't break my limit and reach the Knight level…"
He looked at the horizon and noticed that the sun was rising, illuminating the vibrant trees.
"If I can reach the Knight level, I can easily defeat a small army. I can also break metal weapons, wooden weapons, and rocks with my bare hands. Sadly, the situation has changed; no matter how strong I am, one bullet from a handgun will end my life…"
The man sat down with his legs crossed and looked at the trees calmly.
The wind was blowing over the trees, blue birds rotating above them. The birds chased each other and flew to the far side.
"Sadly… I wasn't born when the Minta Country still had its glory…"
DU*
Suddenly, a sharp noise came from the young man's waist.
His brow furrowed as he took something off his belt. It was a round tablet with a black and white display. A sentence that was written in the Chaos language was displayed on the screen.
The man checked the message, and seemed to become annoyed. He quickly pressed a button on top of the device.
A girl's voice quickly came from the tablet.
"Yun Song, are you in trouble again? There are soldiers from the army looking for you, they've searched the whole hotel! Don't come back, you hear me? Take care of yourself!"
"What happened?" Yun Song's brow furrowed again.
"I don't know, but you should be safe if you stay at a remote area. Listen, don't come back before I finish my investigation."
The voice disappeared.
Yun Song was a bit anxious after hearing those words. He turned the device off and tied it at his belt.
Yun Song lost his father and mother when he was young. He stayed in an orphanage until he was ten years old; then, he was adopted by a Kung Fu master. He lived in an old Kung Fu dojo and considered the Kung Fu master his father.
The Kung Fu master also had a daughter. He treated Yun Song very well—it seemed like he wanted him to pursue the ultimate path of a Kung Fu master.
Yun Song was interested in Kung Fu, so he learned the basics from the Kung Fu master. Sadly, he was not talented. It took him five years to strengthen his body and he still had no idea how he could break the limit.
The old Kung Fu master was disappointed, so he took in two more students—one male and the other female. They were much more talented than Yun Song; however, they also failed to break the limit.
Yun Song was disappointed with himself as well, so he decided to explore the world alone. He was still trying to find a way to break the limit.
The power of an individual was usually ignored in the current society. The guns that were powered by blue crystals were widely used by the military. No matter how strong one was, he would not be able to survive a bullet to the head.
Also, war machines like cannons, tanks, and fighters were getting stronger and stronger. The practice of Kung Fu already turned into a type of exercise.
Yun Song sighed as he thought of the depressing facts and rubbed the two handprints he left on the stone pillar.
Suddenly, the stone pillar started shedding its surface—pebbles were dropping down the pillar and it seemed like the whole thing was about to collapse.
Yun Song was surprised, and quickly took several steps back as the stone pillar collapsed. What was left on the ground was a dark-red sword.
Yun Song saw the red light coming from the sword and shouted, "What's this?!"
WOO*
The earth started shaking. The red sword jumped out of the ground, turned into a red string, and flew toward Yun Song's forehead.
CHI*
The sword stabbed into Yun Song's forehead; however, it seemed like the sword did not hurt him and was absorbed by his body whole, only leaving a flashing scorpion mark between his eyebrows.
Yun Song just stood there when the sword was being absorbed by his body. Everything returned to normal after the sword disappeared.
However, a dark-red glow surrounded his eyes, getting brighter and brighter.

Chapter 593: Opportunity (2)

Time passed. Yun Song closed his eyes and opened them agai, and the red light quickly disappeared.
"I'm still alive?" He raised his hand and gripped forward. "Such a young body… I made the right decision to send part of my soul into this body…"
He shook his head and straightened his back. The bones inside his body made some strange sounds.
"I'm Yun Song and Angele Fenrir Rio… I should just call myself Yun Song and fit into his life before I get everything sorted out, but his body is way too weak…" Angele was hit in the back by the old woman and the only thing he could do was turn himself into a crossguard sword. He sent out a part of his soul to find a new body for himself—he would be able to wake up his own body by sending the soul back.
"My own body is severely injured and all my life masks were destroyed… Other sealed forms would already be dead…" he muttered in a serious tone as he checked his back. He found a large purple birthmark on the back, but it was actually a wound that was reflected on his new body.
The painting was destroyed and the dimension separated. Angele had to destroy two of the strongest magic devices he had had to fight back. The old monster was slightly injured but she still hit Angele hard in the back. He felt like he was hit by a train because the injured monster's blood splashed on his back.
"Well, at least I didn't explore the tunnel for nothing…" Angele rubbed the birthmark on his back.
"The blood of the monster already became part of my soul. After my wound is healed, I can try to break the limit with the blood and become an ancestor of the origin."
Closing his eyes, he recalled the moment he saw the old monster's head leaving its neck. The dimension waves were infused with a strange forcefield when that happened; it felt like the force field had the power of numerous realms.
"Maybe this is my opportunity…"
He inhaled deeply, turned around, and walked to the cliff. He started moving down the cliff using the rope used by Yun Song.
His movements were fast and smooth. Angele had no problem using the robe and the hook. He knew where he should throw the hook at.
About two hours later, he successfully climbed down the mountain and landed in the forest.
'This body has never meditated; Yun Song trained himself as a knight. He only knew the basics…' Angele could still use his biochip—there were blue light dots flashing in front of his eyes.
'I need to start over from scratch, however, it won't take me too long. Maybe I need around three years to get all my power back…' Angele checked his body condition quickly.
Yun Song had the same power level as a knight apprentice; in other words, he would be just stronger than a mortal if he was in the wizard world.
'Zero, check the knowledge of Yun Song for me.'
'Task created…
'Retrieving memory…
'General data: 1. Basic Social Skills. 2. Basic Math Skills. 3. Basic Fitness. 3. Night Monkey Fist, Snake Palm, and Wavy Footwork.
'Analyzing memory… Categorizing data…
'Yun Song, Angele Fenrir Rio. Strength, 1.1. Agility, 1.2. Stamina 2.0. Mentality 1.1. Mana 0. Gene limit not reached. Healthy.'
Angele hesitated after checking the data.
'Categorize his combat skills and show me the levels.'
DI*
The detailed information of Night Monkey Fist, Snake Palm, and Wavy Footwork was quickly displayed in his sight.
"Huh? Interesting…" Angele was surprised by the skills. They looked way different from the skills the knights in the wizard world had.
In the wizard world, the knights all had a similar set of basic combat skills; the only difference was that they had their own special skills.
However, the three combat skills Yun Song knew was a complete set of skills. He needed to learn the basics first if he wanted to proceed further, which meant that the skills he knew were better than the basic combat skills in the wizard world.
'Chinese Kung Fu… A good set of skills with a decent learning curve…' Once Angele checked the information on the three skills, he was impressed.
"My soul is still strong, but there are no energy particles here. I have to rely on my bloodline if I want to cast a spell. It's just not worth it. I should probably practice the skills here so I can fit into the environment."
Angele wanted to make sure that the realm guardian of this realm could not find him. He needed to recover from his injury and break through his limit.
'With the energy from the negative emotions, I don't need to do anything and my soul will recover in three years. I can use this time to learn more about this realm…'
Raising his head, he looked at the sky and found a silver star among the clouds.
'I should just practice the Kung Fu skills he had… I'm severely injured and just like a mortal in this body…'
Although Angele recovered his soul power, he should not waste his bloodline power on other things. He needed the bloodline power to fix his body.
He took over Yun Song's body, but nothing really changed.
Yun Song's attributes did not change; a strong soul of a sealed form that was hundred years old controlled his body, but that was it.
Angele's advantage was still the biochip—the upgraded biochip was strengthened as Angele progressed. It would help him fit into this world.
After making up his mind, Angele took out a map from a leather pouch on his belt. He checked it and rushed into the forest.Several days later…
In a small city by the edge of the forest.
It was a small city called Lin Hai; the buildings in the city looked old. The tallest buildings had more than ten levels and were the symbols of the city.
There was a long river around the city—probably an old city moat.
Cars and motorcycles were moving among the buildings. Although the former had different colors, their surface was all covered with things that looked like blue veins.
Only some of the luxury vehicles were covered with red veins.
By a middle school that was far from the downtown, there was barely anyone walking on the street. A Kung Fu dojo was built by the middle school; the place was quiet.
The entrance of the dojo was supported by two red pillars; there was a stone sign hanging on top of it. The words on the stone sign meant "Ultimate Training".
The black wooden gate was half open and there was a training platform behind it. The platform was covered with grass and illuminated by the bright sunlight.
CHI*
A blue taxi slowly stopped in front of the dojo. The door of the vehicle was pushed open and a young man quickly got off. He paid the driver in cash, looked at the broken sign over the entrance of the dojo, and sighed.
The man was around 20 years old. However, he looked younger than he should. Also, the young man looked a bit different—there was determination in his eyes.
He was wearing a white sports outfit and a pair of white snickers. He looked like a normal student with the white backpack on his back. The yellow stains on the backpack indicated that the backpack was old.
"Finally, I'm back…" Angele sighed. He was still in Yun Song's body. The young man had a below-average face and the furrowed brow made his looks even worse.
The owner of the snack vendor on the right looked at Angele and asked, "Yun, you're back. Were you traveling again? Where did you go?"
"I visited the Triangle Hill, it's not far from here. How's your business, Ma?"
"Not bad. The students are on holiday right now, so…"
The owner of the snack vendor told Angele how hard his life had been. The conversation lasted for a while.
He finally entered the dojo. There were some small houses around the training platform; each had three rooms.
Angele saw a man with a pair of big blue eyes who was practicing fist skills in the shadow.
The man had short black hair and his muscular body was covered with sweat. Although his face was average-looking, the man still looked wild and strong.
He was practicing the Night Monkey Fist, which Yun Song also practiced. The man's fist skills were powerful but slow. It was obvious that the man had a different fighting style than Yun Song. He was standing steadily on the ground in a special position.
"Senior Brother!" Angele quickly stepped forward and greeted the man.
The man raised his hands and exhaled slowly. It almost felt like his body was steaming.
"Yun, you're finally back. Your sister and Nian were looking for you. Also, there were soldiers here several days ago. I think the man you fought with called the police."
Angele made it look like that he was sorry.
"It's my own fault. I know our teacher is cleaning up the mess for me again…"
He knew that the senior brother and the other members of the dojo treated him very well. Although Yun Song was not talented, he knew that he needed to pay them back one day.
The name of the senior brother was Xiulin Li. He always had a blank expression on the face, but he would take care of every member of the dojo.
"Yeah, think twice before you do things. Officer Chen is a friend of our teacher; otherwise, it would be a big problem. Everything was handled yesterday, just be careful the next time."
"I understand, Senior Brother." Angele nodded.
"Where are the other members? Where's the teacher? Are they in the training room?"
The training room was the dojo's main source of income. People who liked Kung Fu would pay to train here. They could also enroll in the basic Kung Fu classes.

Ultimate Training Dojo was one of the two Kung Fu dojos in the city. Although people were no longer pursuing ultimate power, there were still people who loved Kung Fu skills. Some of them were treating Kung Fu as a type of exercise or as a way of keeping their children physically active.
"I'll go have some rest. I'll visit the training room later."
Xiulin nodded.
"Sure. I need to bring the team to participate in a meeting. We'll be heading to Xuyang tonight; your sister will be going too. You and the junior sister will be taking care of the dojo. Several other trainers will also be here, it should be fine, right?"
"Don't worry, I can handle it." Angele nodded. "I'll live in the dojo and wait for you to come back."
"It's not an easy job; you know how big of a mess you made this time, right? Our teacher did whatever he could to help you, don't make him sad. There are many ways to solve problems, you don't have to beat people up. The teacher asked you to work in the training room for two months, don't try to run!" Xiulin spoke in a deep tone as he straightened his back and arms slightly.
"I understand."
Angele nodded again.
The junior sister was named Nian; she had the same skill level as Yun Song. Yun Song's sister was Rong Song. Rong Song and Xiulin were both stronger than Yun Song and Nian.
The dojo only taught three combat skills: Night Monkey Fist, Snake Palm, and Wavy Footwork.
However, the Wavy Footwork was not complete, part of it was lost in history. The Night Monkey Fist and the Snake Palm were what made the dojo famous. These two skills all had four different levels.
Yun Song started practicing the skills when he was a kid, but he could barely finish the first level. Rong Song and Xiulin all reached the second level, but they were having trouble breaking the limit. Their teacher, Yuyin Song, had already broken the limit and had the same power level as a knight. Although he was a below average knight, he was already a strong being in this world.
Angele and Xiulin talked about the Night Monkey Fist for a while before the former returned to his own room.
He threw the backpack into a corner and jumped onto the bed. His body was surrounded by a soft blanket.
'The next thing I need to do is analyze the combat skills here. An average knight is already a person with incredible power to the people here… They are way too weak…' He started reconsidering the situation.
'Ultimate Training Dojo and Wen Qiang Dojo are the only two dojos offering training services in this city, however, their income is below the average. A general grocery store does much better than them. Also, the two dojos are related to the mafias in the city, so the police are paying close attention to them… Some other cities don't even have formal dojos…
'Anyway, I need to analyze the combat skills first and improve my body as soon as possible.' Angele was confident. With the help of the biochip and his experience, he was certain that leveling up would not be a problem to him.
'So, I need to pick one of the skills to start…'
A blue light screen appeared in front of Angele's eyes. The Night Monkey Fist and the Snake Palm turned into two different patterns in his sight.
The levels of each skill were displayed under the patterns.
'First Level, the entry level.
Second Level, the intermediate level.
Third Level, the advanced level.
Fourth Level, the ultimate level.'
Finishing the entry level meant that he had learned the basic forms of the skill.
The intermediate level required the one who practiced the skill to understand all the forms so that he would be able to utilize the power.
The advanced level required the one who practiced the skill to change the forms to fit his own style.
After one reached the ultimate level, he would be able to maximize the power of the skill.
It felt like the system was the same as the Chinese Kung Fu system on the Earth.
'Zero, analyze the levels of the Snake Palm, I want to reach the ultimate level as soon as possible.'
Angele needed to recover his power. Although he could recover naturally in three years, the progress would be easier if he decided to practice.
He would not be detected by the realm guardian and he would be able to fit into the environment if he could practice the skills that were developed in this realm.
'Analyzing…'
The biochip started working immediately; Angele could see the refreshing data in his sight. Only the best choices were kept in the record.
From the basics of the Snake Palm to the ultimate level of the skill, everything was being broken down.
The graph quickly turned into a tree; there were more than 100 thousand different possibilities.
'Analysis completed. 12 different routes found. Three of the routes are the best routes.
CHI*
Only three routes were left in Angele's sight.
Angele remained calm.
'Check my body condition and select the best route for me.'
Chi*
Only one route was left.
Angele looked at the last route and found a snake-shaped pattern on the top. The pattern was displayed in gray.
'Snake King Palm…'
A short sentence was left below the pattern.
'A new bloodline will be created after you reach the final level; also, the bloodline will be purified automatically…'
Angele had many thoughts going through his mind when he saw the sentence.
'This body has already completed the entry level, so I just need to complete the next two levels before starting on the final level. It's not a big problem.'
Angele stood up and walked to the center of the room. He quickly drew a circle in the air using his palms.
He was moving so quietly that he barely made any noise.
After drawing the circle, he suddenly pushed his palms forward and clapped. It looked like a snake that was about to bite.
CHI*
After the light noise, Angele slowly returned to his normal stance.
He compared the result and concluded, '20% buff to the strength… A normal skill for an average knight…
'This is just the entry level, I think the power of the skills will increase if my body is stronger. There must be a way to train my body; the body training technique might be a part of the combat skill.'
Angele searched through Yun Song's memory and realized that Yun Song's teacher would apply different potions on his body so that it would be strengthened.
'Although I still need to recover, I can still use the power of the negative emotions around me. I can't control the power, but I can use them to buff my body. Also, with the combat skill here, I'll be able to purify the power gradually.'
He recalled the moment he was defeated by the old monster. The power level of the old monster was much higher than his, however, Angele's energy level was higher. It seemed like the result was not affected by his high energy level.
'I can still use the negative emotions to strengthen my body. This body is just too weak.'
With a flick of his finger, Angele released some black smoke, which turned into a screaming human face.
Angele opened his mouth and started absorbing the black smoke. Red glow appeared around his eyes quickly.
He stood there and started practicing the Snake Palm again. He changed the speed of movements gradually, and a thin layer of white substance appeared on his skin. The white substance made his skin clean and smooth.
Angele was the Lord of Terror, absorbing the black smoke was like consuming energy. However, the black smoke was pure poison to other creatures—it would make them lose their minds.
The sunlight outside was getting more and more intense.
Angele finally stopped his movements. His body was covered with sweat, and there were some yellow impurities mixed in with it.
'It's about time, I should head to the training room. As Yun Song, I'll take care of the training room until Xiulin is back.' Angele wiped the sweat off his face and grabbed the key. He walked to the bathroom and took a shower.
Angele changed to a white training suit and headed to the training room in downtown by taxi.
He sat in the taxi and dialed several numbers using a communication device.
'Hey, Nian, where are you now?"
"I'm on my way to the training room. I was shopping with my friends. Senior Brother Yun, you should've told me that you were already back…" a crisp female voice responded from the communication device.
"Well, you don't have to call me senior brother…" Angele was a bit speechless. Senior Brother Yun was a popular character in a TV show—Nian started calling him that after watching the show.
"It won't be a problem anyway… You don't have to come to the training room. I can handle the situation by myself. The students are on holiday right now, so I don't think there'll be many people attending the classes." Nian stopped for a second and continued, "I heard that our teacher had to clean up the mess for you again… Whom did you beat up this time?"
"I forgot. I don't really care." Angele was not concerned.
"I'm arriving soon. I'll see you later."
He looked at the three-level building on the right through the window. There was a white stone pillar in front of the door, and the word "Ultimate Training" was engraved on it. There was an old man taking a nap by the entrance. He was the security guard here.
"Here you go." Angele paid the driver.
"Thanks." The taxi driver checked the money and nodded.
Angele opened the door and got off the taxi. He looked at the old man and shook his head. He decided not to wake him up.
The area in front of the building was a large training ground. There were people jogging and training. There were also people playing field hockey. The hockey ball they used was blue; it was glowing for some reason.
Angele checked the training ground and headed to the main building.
He did not want to waste any time. Angele could only absorb one unit of the negative emotion energy; his attributes would be increased by one after absorbing ten units.
Angele was an experienced fighter. With the help of the biochip, he reached the third level quickly and would be able to reach the highest level sooner or later.
Also, the combat skill would only help him recover faster. He doubted if it would help him in the future.
He just wanted to live a peaceful life in the next three years so that he could regain his power.

Chapter 595: Opportunity (4)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
There were many training rooms in the building, but Angele was not interested. He went to the third floor and sat down in the trainer's office.
The only thing Yun Song was interested in was the ultimate power; he had no friends. The members of the dojo were the only people he would talk to.
Also, Yun Song was not good-looking—it was one of the reasons why he was not good at socializing.
Besides teaching in the training rooms, the other members were still students of universities. Yun Song was the only one that put most of his time into practicing. He dropped out of school when he was still in middle school, however, he was not talented—Nian had the same skill level as him.
Most of the people in this world at least had a bachelor's degree.
He was a different person in other people's eyes—that was also a reason why he did not communicate with others a lot.
He sat in the office quietly and started massaging some of his muscles. The muscle massage could help him recover faster and absorb the negative energy better.
With the natural recovery ability of his body, Angele could feel that his new body was getting stronger and stronger.
He pushed the chair and desk to the side. He started practicing the combat skills again.
He had no idea how long had passed when he heard someone was speaking outside the door.
"Kansas, is Senior Brother Yun here?"
"Yeah, he's practicing his fist skills in the office. He almost hit me when I delivered lunch to him…"
"Well, the only thing he cares for is combat skills…"
KA*
The door was pushed open and a girl with an average-looking face stepped into the office.
Although the girl was average-looking, she had a balanced body due to the training she had been doing. Her legs were long and slim. She was wearing a white training suit, which was a bit too tight on her body.
The girl was wearing a red ponytail. She stood in the room and waited until Angele stopped practicing.
Nian lowered her voice and spoke, "Senior Brother Yun, I have my classmates here, they want to visit the training rooms. They are waiting outside. Also, I invited a beautiful girl…"
"What does that have to do with me…" Angele was not concerned, he looked at the training ground and found two beautiful girls that were watching people exercising.
"Fine…" Nian was a bit speechless. "Who doesn't like pretty girls? Are you really a man? Whatever. Just stay in your office and practice your skills. I wish you never find a girlfriend."
Nian left the room and closed the door.
Angele rested for a while and started practicing the combat skills again.
He reached the third level of the Snake Palm. If he wanted to reach the final level, he needed to keep practicing. When his body had the ability to maximize the power of the skill, he would be able to use the ability to handle a lot of situations.
If he had to fight in this world, he needed this palm skill. He could easily kill his opponents with his own abilities.
The higher the level of a combat skill was, the stronger the strength buff would become. The highest level would buff his strength by around 59%—it was the limit of the skill. Also, he could create a new skill based on the Snake Palm after he reached the highest level. The biochip analyzed the skill for him, but it did not mean that it would be the perfect skill for him.
Also, his body was being strengthened by the power of negative emotions; the rate of the improvement was decided by his soul. Angele's attributes were increased by one every ten days. The only thing he needed was the time.Five days later.
Nian and her roommates visited the training rooms for the next several days. Nian wanted to teach them some defensive skills, but one of the girls named Huan Ri still had doubts.
It was the fifth day that she visited the training ground. She was wondering if people would become stronger just by hitting the training dummies for days.
"Huan, what happened?" Zhou Pei waved her hands in front of Huan's eyes.
Huan stopped thinking and responded with a smile on her face, "Nothing. Our holiday is not long… We only have around 30 days left. What can we learn in 30 days?"
They walked to a side hall on the left with the crowd. There were several wooden platforms here, and several decent students were showing off their skills.
Some of them were cutting wooden planks using their hands.
There was around one hundred people in the hall. The two girls were standing in front of a wooden platform; there were three students in white uniforms showing their skills. They were kicking wooden planks in the air.
The people around the platform were cheering for them. Several girls took out their communication devices and started taking photos.
There were many girls in the crowd. Some of them wanted to learn some basic skills so that they could fight off the perverts who were bothering them.
There were also young men here who wanted to impress girls with their skills. Some parents also sent their children to learn some basic movements.
"So, what do you think?" Someone tapped the two girls' shoulders.
Huan and Zhou turned around. They saw Nian standing there with a smile on her face.
"Not bad."
"Impressive."
"Those skills are perfect for shows, right?" Nian chuckled. "Come on, I'll show you some real skills. It's about the time."
"Real skills?" Huan was interested. She knew a lot about Kung Fu, and learned a lot of things by herself. So, once she heard those words, she got interested.
"Yeah, they'll be here soon; my Senior Brother will be here too."
"Your Senior Brother? I thought he went to a meeting or something…" Zhou said.
"No, it's the other one. He has the same skill level as me. No, actually, he's slightly weaker than me. He's in charge of the training rooms; I'm just here to help. He'll have to show his skills if the teachers can't handle the situation, and you'll be able to see the real Kung Fu."
Nian finished the word and disappeared into the crowd.
Huan and Zhou stayed in front of the platform.
It was noon; about time for lunch. The people on the wooden platforms started resting.
Huan and Zhou wanted to have lunch first, but Nian came back to them and took them to a small training ground behind the building.
There were many students and teachers around the training ground. There were some metal tables and chairs on the training ground.
A young man in a white uniform stepped out of the building's back door. He sat down in a chair and started waiting.
The man's face was unbalanced. Although his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears looked nice, their combination just made him ugly. If his eyes and nose were positioned differently, he would probably be a handsome guy.
"Who's he?" Huan pointed at the man in the chair.
"I don't know." Zhou looked at the man carefully.
"Where's Nian? She was here a minute ago." They checked the area and noticed that Nian was standing with the teacher's team.
The young man in the chair just stayed there without moving. He remained silent and calm.
The people here were chatting, but none of them made any loud noise.
Several minutes later, they heard a noise that sounded like someone was knocking on wooden planks.
BAM*
The door of the training ground was kicked open; it was blown away by the impact and landed on a wall. Three young men in green uniforms stepped into the training ground quickly.
"It's challenge time. Senior Brother and Senior Sister are not here, so we want to know how Junior Brother and Junior Sister are doing." The leading man had a handsome face and a balanced body. There was a blue scarf on his neck; it looked a bit strange on him.
A man and a woman were standing behind him. The man was tall and strong. The woman had short black hair; she was wearing a boyish uniform.
"We're the representatives of this training match," the man said as he looked at the young man in the chair. "I knew it. Yun Song."
He talked to the two behind him for a second and walked to the training ground quickly. He stepped out of the crowd and stopped in the center of the training platform.
"I'll be first. My name is Shilan Duan, and I've heard about you, Yun Song."
The man bowed slightly as he introduced himself.
"You dropped out of the school to pursue the—"
"Cut it. I'll attack first following the rule," Angele interrupted. He stood up, straightened his back, and walked to the center of the training ground.
"Oh… Sure…" Shilan was a bit surprised, but he quickly nodded.
Angele was about four meters away from Shilan. He suddenly charged to Shilan and drew a circle using his palms. He attacked Shilan like a snake.
The Snake Palm was designed for fast movements, however, Angele's attack was infused with power and was a bit terrifying.
"Snake Palm?" Shilan recognized the skill immediately. He leaned to the left and aimed at Angele's armpit. It looked like an eagle that was about to fight back after dodging a snake's attack.
It was a combat skill named Bronze Eagle Claw—it was developed by the Wenqiang Dojo. The Snake Palm and the Bronze Eagle Claw had similar power levels, but the power might vary based on how they used the skills.
BAM*
Shilan's hand hit Angele's arm hard. His attack was blocked and Angele attacked again before he could react.
CHI*
Angele's hands stopped in front of Shilan's face and crotch.
Shilan was surprised by the counterattack; he could feel the chill climbing up his spine.
"I lost…"
A bitter smile appeared on Shilan's face, he took two steps back and lowered his head.
Angele nodded, but he did not say anything. He turned around and quickly entered the back door of the building.
Shilan and the other two members of Wenqiang Dojo also left the training ground after losing the match.

The people who witnessed the battle were disappointed. They would rather watch the wooden plank tricks.
Only the people who knew real Kung Fu were impressed by Angele's skills.
"This is the realm Kung Fu… That man knows the real skills!" Huan watched the young man return to the building. She knew how strong his skills were; his movements were totally different from those of the ones that were doing the wooden plank tricks.
"It's so boring… The match ended within seconds…" Zhou was not interested.
"It wasn't boring at all." Huan chuckled. "I've made up my mind, I'll enroll here."
"Seriously…?" Zhou stared at Huan, she had no idea why Huan made the decision.
Nian walked to them and interrupted, "My senior brother can easily defeat the members of Wenqiang Dojo. Shilan hasn't completed the entry level yet, he can't even take one hit.
"What do you think? My senior brother just won the battle. I can introduce you to him if you're interested."
"It's fine… I'll pass…" Zhou pursed her lips.
Huan smiled but did not say anything. She was interested in Angele's skills, but she was not interested in starting a relationship with him.
They decided to enroll in the classes and started practicing with other students.It had been ten days since Angele started working in the building. He called his senior brother and the teacher multiple times, but they said that they would not be back until everything was settled.
Angele and Nian had to continue to work in the building.
Many practice matches were held over the days. Angele battled many people that were practicing different skills. He had one opponent that also practiced the Night Monkey Fist.
However, most of them could barely win a battle against the teachers from the training rooms. Angele's attributes already increased a lot; his body changed and his skin was smooth like a girl.
If it was in the wizard world, Angele's strongest Snake Palm skill called Snake Bite had the same power level of a basic attack performed by a top-level knight apprentice.
The basic application of the Snake Palm was attacking the target from different angles using different body parts. Angele used Snake Bite to defeat Shilan and did not even put too much force into it.
He kept absorbing the negative emotions when practicing the Snake Palm, and soon it almost sounded like there were snakes hissing around him.
About one month later, a message from Xuyang changed the situation. Angele checked the message and responded immediately.
"Yun? This is Xiulin."
"Senior Brother, will you be back soon? What's going on?" Angele was cleaning his face with a black towel.
"I didn't know the meeting would last for so long. It has been over one month since you went to Xuyang."
Xiulin remained for several seconds and started responding.
"We're doing fine, your sister and the teacher are with me. We just had something that we needed to take care of. Also, we still need you and Nian's help since it'll take us a bit longer to get everything done." Xiulin sounded tired. Although he tried his best to hide his emotions, Angele still noticed the difference.
"Just tell me what happened." Angele's brow furrowed.
"Don't worry, just take care of the dojo for us, will you?" Xiulin dodged the question. "It's a small problem."
Angele knew that Xiulin was a stubborn person—Xiulin would not tell him anything if it was not necessary. However, for some reason, it felt like the situation was different this time.
"One more thing, I transferred some money to you and Nian. I need to travel somewhere far from here. Your sister and our teacher will be back soon. Alright, take care, I need to go."
"Money… We don't even need a lot of money…" Angele was speechless. "Fine, see you."
The door of the office was pushed open when they finished the conversation. Nian stepped into the office with a strange look on her face.
"Yun, Senior Brother transferred some money to us."
"Yeah, I just got the call. What happened?" Angele was a bit confused after seeing Nian's expression. "You should be happy that you got some extra money to spend."
"The problem is… He sent me way too much money…" Nian responded.
"Like what? 5000?"
"No. 500 000…"
Angele's brow furrowed. "Well, that's unusual. What's going on?"
"I already sent our teacher a message. There's definitely something wrong…" Nian lowered her voice and started explaining.
Xiulin was the son of his teacher's friend; the teacher adopted him after his father passed away.
His father was the 12th inheritor of a large family, however, he was not treated seriously by the elders. Xiulin was never talented in certain fields.
The problem was that Xiulin was still a legal inheritor of the family; although he had many brothers, it did not change the fact. He was adopted when he was young and his name was not even written in the family's record.
Xiulin's family built a large business empire, but their opponent was assassinating the inheritors of the family. Xiulin was still alive, but most of the other inheritors were killed.
The family leader was not prepared for the change; he wanted to continue the bloodline, so he tried to find the legal inheritors that were kicked out of the family. Then, Xiulin was found by the current family leader. The family leader wanted him to lead the family until other inheritors were born.
However, there were other people who wanted to become the leader of the family and they were doing everything they could to stop Xiulin.
There were still people supporting Xiulin in the family; his cousin, uncle, brother, and sister were all helping him.
"So, what should we do?" Nian explained everything and looked at Angele. "I've only read something like in novels…"
When the teacher was not in the dojo, it was Xiulin who took care of Yun Song and Nian. They wanted to pay Xiluin back.
"Who founded the Li Family?" Angele suddenly asked.
Nian hesitated for a second and responded, "I think it was someone named Yilongxi Li or something… This is a shortened name, you can find his full name in history books. He was the one who discovered the Ball of Four Seasons."
"Ball of Four Seasons…"
The birthmark on Angele's back was warmed up after he heard the name.
"Why? We just need to figure out a valid solution as soon as possible…" Nian was a bit speechless.
Angele glanced at her and spoke in a low voice, "You stay here. I'll head to Xuyang."Xiulin stood in front of the window and looked at the shiny city down there. He sipped some cold water from a glass.
He was not sure what he should do.
The Li Family was pressuring him. It was a result that his uncle, cousin, sister, and brother never wanted. They tried to protect him, but it still happened.
He did not want to drag his teacher and the members of the dojo into this. His family members and their business opponents might just hire a gun to kill them. Xiulin knew that he was from a large family; he'd already decided to stay away from the family that abandoned him, but the family leader still found him.
"Xiulin, come on, you've wasted too much time outside. Come back to the family. I already transferred some money to the dojo. I also sent several bodyguards to protect your friends. What else do you want me to do?" A male voice came from the red communication device on the table.
"Nothing will happen even if you can find me. I decided to pursue the ultimate Kung Fu; there's nothing I can do for the family." Xiulin sounded tired.
"Dojo, Kung Fu, university, or whatever you want to do, I don't care. Remember, you're a legal inheritor of the family; you need to come back sooner or later. You're just bringing trouble to the people around you until you come back to us," the man spoke in a low voice. "Don't talk about the ultimate Kung Fu anymore. Coram was the strongest Kung Fu Master, however, I don't think he can dodge bullets. Things have changed, Xiulin."
Xiulin remained silent.
"You need to come back to the family because you're an inheritor. If you spend too much time with your friends from the dojo, they'll get into trouble. It's just a small dojo that's full of peasants. They won't help you build your future, it's just a waste of time. You survived the ambush because you had—"
"Shut up!"
KA*
The glass in Xiulin's hand cracked.
"They are important to me! Insulting them is the same as insulting me!" he said slowly.
"You can't escape from us"—the man lowered his voice—"come back to us. You don't want your friends to get hurt, right?"
PA*
The communication ended.
Xiulin was still standing in front of a window. The water from the cracked glass slowly landed on his feet, but he did not notice anything.Linhai City.
It was night. The dim light from the lamps illuminated the gray road.
Blue cars were traveling on the road at full speed under the night sky.
In one of the cars, Angele was looking at the blurry objects on the left side of the highway.
He supported his chin with the right arm and looked at the people sitting in front of him.
There were two young girls in the front seats.
One was Nian's classmate, Huan. She was wearing a long black ponytail and had a pair of beautiful eyes. The other girl had clean and smooth skin, and her lips were nice and elastic. She was Zhou, also a classmate of Nian.
"Thank you. It's great that you can take me with you. I really need to head to Xuyang," Angele spoke in a light tone.
They were traveling at full speed, but the sound isolation of the car was great and the girls could easily hear his words.
Huan arranged her hair and asked in a low voice, "It's not a big problem. Do you have something urgent to deal with in Xuyang? Do you need our help? My family is from Xuyang."
"Huan's family is famous in Xuyang; she could help you with general things," Zhou added.
Angele shook his head. "It's fine. I'm just going to pick up my relatives."
He finished the sentence and stopped talking. He just looked at the objects passing by.
The atmosphere got a bit heavy in the car. The two girls knew that Angele did not want to talk, so they remained silent as well.
Angele sat in the seat and slowly closed his eyes. He started resting.
He had no idea how long had passed. Suddenly, a chilling feeling climbed up his spine.
He opened his eyes and looked to the right.
The sky was gray and the car was passing by a ruin that was covered with red stone pieces. It seemed like the ruin was a building before it collapsed. He could see some red runes on the remaining stone pillars.
Angele calmed down and asked, "What's that?"
The two girls were surprised by his question. Huan was driving; Zhou was woken up by these words. She checked the ruin and responded, "It's the Kalong Ruin… You don't even know Kalong Ruin…? Seriously?"

"Kalong Ruin?" Angele's brow furrowed.
"Are those ruins common here?" He had a bad feeling about this.
Zhou did not like the way Angele talked to her, so she did not respond.
Huan chuckled after hearing the conversation and decided to explain the situation.
"Pretty much. There are many Kalong Ruins in the whole Ming Ta Xing. Senior Brother, you should know this. Nian said she visited this area with you a while ago."
Angele checked Yun Song's memory and realized that he did visit this area with Nian.
"It has been a while, I already forgot…" Angele had an apologetic smile on his face. He started observing the ruins carefully.
There were many random stone pieces and stone pillars in the ruins. The place was silent and empty.
Angele scanned the area using the biochip, but he did not find anything. He stopped looking at the ruins as the car left the area.
'Something wasn't right about this place…' He could feel that someone was looking at him from the ruins.
'Is it the guardian of this realm?"
He was a bit worried. Angele still needed time to recover, so he did not want to alert the guardian. Although he could still escape, the situation would just get worse for him.
Angele could feel that his body was being strengthened gradually, and it seemed like there was no limitation. He noticed that it was possible for him to reach the highest level if the rate was consistent.
The confidence came from the birthmark on his back. It was a wound left on his soul by the old monster.
He felt that he lost control over his body after taking the hit for some reason.
He recalled the incident and realized that the monster could easily kill him if it wanted to. It almost felt like the blood of the old monster helped him escape the intestine of the world.
Also, the damage from the blood was somehow turned into the power that could help him break the limit.
'This world might be more complicated than I expected… The monster probably forced me to enter this world…' Angele closed his eyes. It almost looked like that his skin was glowing.
With clean and smooth skin, his face looked a bit more attractive than before.
The two girls at the front seats would glance at Angele from time to time.
It took them a whole night to drive from Linhai to Xuyang. They arrived at the Ying Shi Station when the sun rose. The two girls dropped Angele off at the station and returned to their homes. They did not like that Angele treated them like complete strangers. Huan was a nice girl, but she had been driving for the whole night and needed some rest.
Angele walked around the station. He asked several pedestrians and learned about the location of the meeting. He then got on a taxi and headed there.
He wasted no time on the road. When his body was getting tired, he would just absorb some more negative emotions.
The meeting was held in a stadium; there were many cars parked on the street. There were also guards in blue that were patrolling the area.
There were people shouting from the stadium.
Angele got off the taxi and walked to the stadium slowly.
He was still wearing the white training uniform and was questioned by several guards, but they let him go after confirming his identity.
Angele stepped into the entrance and saw a girl in red standing by the door. The girl had short black hair and there was a long wooden stick in her hand.
The girl's expression changed after she saw Angele.
"Yun, why are you here? The teacher asked you to take care of the training rooms, right? Nian can't do it on her own."
Angele's brow furrowed. Although he had Yun Song's memory, he felt that there was something wrong with this world after passing by the ruins. He felt a bit relieved after meeting Yun Song's sister. Based on the memory of Yun Song, he always wanted to protect his sister from the danger. However, it seemed like Yun Song and his sister were not from the same family.
"What happened to the Li Family? Did the teacher say anything about the incident?" Angele questioned in a low voice.
Yu Song checked the surroundings; the people in the stadium were not paying attention to them.
"Follow me." Yu Song grabbed Angele's hand and moved to the right. The stadium's windows were covered, but the platform in the center was brightened up by light.
On the red wooden platform, a tall man and a short man were fighting each other. They traded attacks, and the noise they made echoed in the whole stadium.
Angele was following Yu Song. He glanced at the two people that were fighting on the platform, but he was thinking about something else.
'Ball of the Four Seasons… The birthmark on my back will ache every time I think about this term… However, in this world, the item is used for decorations. What does it have to do with that old monster…' Angele recalled the moment he was hit by the monster again. The old monster had a terrifying expression on the face, however, it seemed like the monster was trying to hide something from him.
'An ancestor can guard a whole realm. There's no way that an ancestor will stay in the intestine of the world for no reason…' Angele could not figure out the truth.
They entered a small room with red walls. In the center of the room, there was a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. Xiulin was also in the room.
The middle-aged man was thinking about something with his brow furrowed; his expression changed slightly after seeing Angele, but he did not say a word.
Xiulin smiled and stood up.
"Yun, you're here. Great, take the teacher back to Xuyang. I'm not any president or someone that's important to society. I don't need a bodyguard."
"Senior Brother… Teacher…" Angele lowered his head and greeted the two.
"I'm here because I'm worried about Xiulin. How's everything?"
Angele's face almost blushed when he finished these words. He was here to figure out why his birthmark would react to the Ball of Four Seasons. He wanted to help Senior Brother because it was Yun Song's instinct. Angele was not concerned at all.
"Teacher, you're injured. You should go rest. There's no point to stay with me." Xiulin was a bit nervous. "My family will send someone to pick me up. We'll go to one of the private cities owned by the Li Family, Four Seasons City. The private jet is waiting on top of the building; there'll be no problem. My brother and sister will also send people for protection—a whole team of soldiers. Also—"
"Cut the crap, I'm staying with you!" Yuying Song spoke in a serious ton.
"Dad…" Yu Song looked at his father speechlessly.
"There's no way that you can fight against ranged weapons…"
Yu knew that Xiulin's trip would be extremely dangerous and the assassins would attack him with guns. They could easily kill him with sniper rifles from a distance. The Kung Fu he learned would not help him at all.
Angele just stood there. He was still thinking about the strange incident, but he just could not find the reason.
He just stood there and listened to the conversation quietly. Xiulin decided to take the whole team with him.
Yuying and Yu just would not leave him. Angele wanted to learn more about the Ball of the Four Seasons, so he decided to stay with Xiulin as well. Xiulin treated him well, so he wanted to pay him back.
No one left the room; they all decided to help Xiulin.
The training matches in the stadium had concluded, but there were still people practicing.
They stayed in Xuyang for several days; Nian found them before they left. She wanted to be in the team as well and would not leave no matter what Angele said.
Yuying forced Xiulin to stay with the team. They all got on the plane and headed to Four Seasons City.In the plane, the strange feeling was still bothering Angele.
He was trying his best to figure out the reason, but there was no hint.
Angele slowly calmed down on the plane. Raising his head, he glanced around.
The other people were all taking a nap. It was late at night and he was the only one awake.
The cabin was spacious and the flight attendants were taking a rest. The noise made by the engine was quite loud.
The plane was shaking slightly. Angele stood up and absorbed some more negative emotions. It almost looked like his muscles were growing.
Angele peeked through the window; he could see the mountains below. The clouds blocked most of the view.
He shook his head and looked at the others. They were still sleeping. He moved around the seats and entered the washroom.
He stood in front of the mirror and washed his face. He looked at the mirror and exhaled deeply.
PA*
He suddenly heard a light noise from the cabin.
"Huh?"
Angele leaned to the side.*BAM*
The last bodyguard in a white uniform fell to the ground as blood was spurting out of his chest. The blood quickly covered the floor.
The cabin was full of dead bodies; there was blood splashing everywhere.
Two men in tight black suits were holding handguns. They exchanged eye contact and moved to the door.
"It'll take half an hour for our crew to get here. Open the door," one of the spoke with a low voice.
"No, it'll be ten minutes."
The other one took out a small egg-shaped device and put it on the door.
"What are you doing?" a man behind them spoke in a calm voice.
Angele stood behind them and stared at them calmly. His hair was still wet. He suddenly narrowed his eyes—it felt like Angele was staring at two insects, and was so calm that it was a bit strange.

Chapter 598: Huan Ri (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
'These are all coincidences to me…' Angele looked at them quietly. He stood by the door and had many thoughts in mind, but he did not move an inch.
The blood from the dead bodies turned into a small pool on the floor. The smell of the blood permeated the air.
"Kill him!" The two men in black held their handguns in hands and aimed at Angele. Two blue rays landed on the wall behind Angele.
The blue rays left two burnt holes on the white wall.
Angele stood there and flicked his finger. He threw two candies at the men's hands—the impact interrupted their aiming. The two blue rays missed the target.
Angele caught the chance and rushed at the two assassins. He hit them in the chest using his palms. It almost looked like the two assassins were hit by a car; their bones broke right away.
BAM BAM*
The two assassins fell to the floor after they landed, and blood spurted out of their mouths. Their rib cages were messed up.
Angele sighed with disappointment. His speed and power were much stronger than other Kung Fu Masters' in this world. He eliminated the two assassins without any problem.
He picked up their handguns and shot them in the chests several times so that no one would know that they were killed by Kung Fu. He finished everything and dropped the guns to the floor.
Also, he grabbed the small device that the assassin put on the wall.
He walked in the yellow hallway and broke the device into pieces using his hands. He put the remains of the device on the wall and headed back to his cabin.
'Maybe I'm getting closer to the truth of this world…'
He walked back to his own seat and sat down. There were blue light dots flashing in front of his eyes. He made it look like he was peeking through the window.
BOOM*
Suddenly, he heard a loud noise from behind. It sounded like something just exploded.
The whole plane started shaking and leaning.
The people in Angele's cabin were woken up; they had no idea what was happening.
"We need to parachute!" Angele shouted, but his voice was barely audible in the noise.
They realized what was happening and put on their parachutes immediately. Nian and Yu were in shock and they were not moving.
Xiulin and Angele quickly helped them to put on the parachutes.
The flight attendants were probably also killed by the assassins. Angele did not see any of them around.
The noise was getting louder and louder. They tried to communicate with each other using hand gestures.
Angele and Yuyin helped Nian and Yu. They made sure that the parachutes were properly put on.
Xiulin opened the door and they started parachuting one after another.
Angele held Nian in arms and was the last one to parachute. He jumped forward and started falling in the night sky.
"Ah!"
Nian was screaming in Angele's arms; she could barely look down.
Angele suddenly looked at the plane and noticed that it was smoking astern. It was probably a bomb placed by the assassins that Angele failed to disarm.
He looked down and found something white hiding in the dark mountains. It was a small base surrounded by trees; he could see people walking among cargos.
Angele opened the parachute with Nian in his arms.
BAM*
The white parachute quickly stopped them from falling at full speed.
Angele glanced at the forest and the random base. He felt that what he was seeing was not reality.
'Ball of the Four Seasons… Maybe I'll find the truth after I see the item…' He turned around and looked at the night sky.
There was something green glowing in the sky. It looked like a snake-shaped cloud.
'Green glowing silk… Green glowing silk in the night sky…'
It seemed like the green cloud was called green glowing silk according to Yun Song's memory.
Angele was checking the surroundings using the biochip; everything just did not seem right.
The white parachute slowly landed in the forest. It looked like a white mushroom.
Angele was still holding Nian in his arms. They were hanging on a tree.
He inhaled deeply and slowly calmed down. Angele's heart was bumping at full speed.
"What should we do now?" Nian questioned in a hoarse voice.
Angele took out a dagger and cut the parachute into pieces. He stepped on the branch and jumped off the tree, landing on the ground with Nian.
The tree was around four meters tall and Angele had no problem landing on the ground.
Nian exhaled deeply after they landed and stared at Angele.
"Senior Brother, what should we do? It's just like a novel. They sent assassins to blow up the plane!"
Angele shook his head and raised his hand. His skin was so pale that it almost looked translucent.
"Don't worry, let's find Xiulin first. We should be able to regroup with them soon if I'm not mistaken," Angele spoke in a calm tone. "Follow me." He looked to the left.
He started heading in a random direction. Nian hesitated for a second, and followed after him.
They advanced in the forest; they heard people talking in front several minutes later.
Angele saw white light deep in the forest.
His pupils retracted, but Nian did not notice the change. They quickly walked to the source of the light.
They found a small empty ground with a small helicopter parked on it. The helicopter had a triangular body and looked a bit weird.
Xiulin was tied up by two men in black—they were taking him to the helicopter. Yuyin was lying in a pool of blood. Yu was shot in the right shoulder and left leg. She was still fighting with a bald man.
The place was a mess. There were blood and burnt marks left by guns everywhere. There were also two dead assassins. They were killed by the Snake Palm—their faces were severely damaged.
"Teacher! Senior Sister!" Nian shouted. She charged at the bald man kicked the man in the waist.
Angele walked to Yuying and checked his condition. Yuying was already dead.
He stood up slowly with a blank expression on his face. He was not sad or angry, but he still acted like he cared.
CHI CHI*
Nian was hit by two blue rays.
Angele quickly charged at the two assassins by the helicopter. They aimed at him quickly with the guns in their hands.
CHI CHI*
Angele stabbed two metal keys into their throats and killed them right away.
He jumped into the helicopter and put Xiulin down on the ground.
There was blood spurting out of Xiulin's neck and he could not talk. Xiulin held Angele's hands tight and wanted to say something, but the only thing coming out of his mouth was the blood. Several seconds later, he passed away with his eyes still open.
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes. He checked the pocket on Xiulin's chest and found a small black leather pouch.
He grabbed the pouch and found an egg-sized crystal orb inside.
"The Ball of the Four Seasons…"
Angele stood up with the crystal orb in hand. He saw that the bald man was trying to escape.
The birthmark on his back was burning hot, but it did not impact Angele at all. He raised the ball and aimed at the bald man.
The crystal orb changed the scene in his sight.
There was no grass on the ground. The only things he could see were mud and piles of white bones.
The sky was gray, it was the only color he could see. The tall trees were actually stone pillars.
The most disturbing thing was...
The bald man that was escaping was actually a zombie with a rotten body. He would leave a bloody footprint on the ground every time it took a step.
"Dad!" Yu screamed in pain.
"Sister!"
She crouched and started crying like crazy.
Angele was not concerned. He turned to Yu and looked at her through the orb.
On the dried land, a naked woman with pale skin was crying on the ground. The left side of her face was covered with white maggots and the right side of her face was just white bones. Yu's short hair was replaced by some strange green things.
Angele sighed and lowered the Ball of the Four Seasons. Everything he saw became normal again.
"What's wrong with this world…"
He stood by the aircraft and raised his head. The green glowing silk was moving slowly in the sky. The scene was peaceful and beautiful.
Angele recalled the moment he entered Yun Song's body; the memory of Yun Song was going through his mind like he was watching a movie.
"Yun!" Yu's suddenly shouted at Angele.
Angele looked at Yu. She stood up with her eyes filled up with hatred and desperation.
"We must avenge them! We must!"
Angele did not respond. He held the ball in hand, and the birthmark slowly cooled down. He then checked the helicopter using the crystal orb.
The black helicopter turned into a pile of rusty metal. Its gray, rusty body was twisted and cracked.
"Sister, do you know if there's a Kalong Ruin around?" Angele suddenly asked.
"What do you want to do?" Yu noticed that Angele was extremely calm, which she found strange.
"Just tell me if there's one. I want to check something…" Angele spoke in a light tone.
"I might be able to save them."
"Are you losing your mind?!" Yu suddenly rushed to Angele and pressed his shoulders.
"Answer me, sister. I can revive them," Angele was still speaking in a calm tone. It almost sounded like reviving dead people was nothing to him.
Yu swallowed and her expression changed.
"Come on, Yun. I know you're sad, but they already died…"
Angele sighed and tapped on the Ball of Four Seasons slightly.
A red string slowly appeared in the orb. Angele checked the string carefully and started walking in a random direction. Yu stood there and looked at Angele. She had no idea what she should do.
Angele walked as he observed the changes happing in the orb.
He walked into a random ruin. The ruin was full of broken stone pillars and damaged stone houses.
Angele walked around the ruin for a while and slowly stopped in front of a black tomb.
He crouched and wiped the dust off the tomb.
"The Forgotten Realm…" A sentence in the Chaos language was engraved on the tomb.
Angele checked the tomb again through the orb.
The tomb and the sentence did not change at all.
"This place…" Angele wanted to say something, but he decided not to. He stood up and started wandering around again.
He quickly found another tomb.
He crouched and removed the dust.
Countless words were engraved on the tomb; the first was like a prologue.
'The forgotten land, the cursed land, this is the end of the world, this is the end to everything…'
Angele kept reading.
'People remember what they want to remember, but they always know who they really are.'
Angele repeated the sentence in mind and suddenly realized something.
"Three years… Three years… That's enough…"
He stood up, turned around, and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Chapter 599: Huan Ri (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Angele found a random cave and lived in it. He hunted and collected fruits in the morning. The only thing he did during the night was practicing the Snake Palm.
Yun Song learned the basics of the Snake Palm from Yuying Song. Angele used the biochip to analyze the battle system of this world and slowly perfected the Snake Palm.
The cave he was living in was right by the Kalong Ruins. Strangely, he saw many soldiers passing by, but none of them entered the ruins. The people nearby also stayed away from the ruins.
Angele was not sure what the reason was.
The things in this world were changing in his eyes as time passed.
He recovered faster as his body was strengthened, and that was why he started to see the truth of this world. Everything looked similar to the things he saw through the orb.
Most of the creatures in the area were killed by Angele. However, he did not need too much food after his body was strengthened.
It felt like that this world was lying to his eyes and he was not sure if he was seeing illusions.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
Angele left the area once during that time and found an old helicopter. He used the helicopter to travel around the area and had many practice matches with other strong Kung Fu masters.
The famous Kung Fu masters in Ming Ta Xing all learned about his name; he recorded many combat skills during the practice matches.
The whole process took him another year to complete.
Finally, three years passed.Linhai City.
Angele stood quietly in front of the Ultimate Training Dojo.
The gate was broken and there were burnt marks everywhere. Angele could see the dried leaves on the ground through the gaps between the gate; the whole place was quite dark.
Angele was standing right in front of the dojo. There were many people passing by, but none of them noticed his presence.
The vendor on the right was playing with his communication device like he did not see Angele.
Angele chuckled.
"So, they can't even see me anymore."
He glanced around. The people that passed by had translucent bodies and were all walking in groups. Some of them went through Angele's body like they were just illusions. Angele could not feel anything when their bodies contacted.
"Finally, you found the truth…"
A voice came from behind.
He turned around and looked at the person calmly.
It was the girl named Huan Ri—she drove Angele to Xuyang years ago. She was standing in the center of the street; there were many people passing by, however, none of them could touch her body.
Huan stared at Angele calmly.
"This is where everything starts, and this is also where everything ends…"
Angele nodded.
"I was sent into this world. I was confused. This is truly a mysterious place."
"My power is what keeps this world running… The sky, the sea, the land, everything. I've guarded this world for over ten hundred years and didn't expect that this day would come…" Huan was naked. Her body was clean; it seemed like she did not mind being seen in her current state.
"I think my sister sent you here."
They just stood there and talked to each other peacefully.
Angele nodded slowly.
"If you're talking about the old monster from the dimension maze, then you are correct, she sent me into this world and left a mark on my back. The mark will heat up every time the Ball of the Four Seasons is mentioned. I assume she's telling me that the Ball of the Four Seasons will help me find the truth."
Huan nodded.
"I use the Ball of the Four Seasons to support this world. I made sure that everything is the same as before this world collapsed. Time is stopped here." Huan suddenly smiled. "With my power, everyone is living their happy lives; this is just like a normal world. However, they just don't know that the world has already collapsed."
Angele looked at the people that were passing by.
"No, you created a sweet dream for them. They all died when the world collapsed. It was the end of this world. You can't support this world forever…"
"So what? You've experienced this dream too. It's so real that it doesn't feel like a dream at all." Huan pointed at a couple that just passed by.
"They were together before I became an ancestor. Sadly, they died when they tried to help me. I collected their souls and rewrote their memories so that they can live in this new world forever. Don't you think that this is great? This world collapsed millions of years ago, but you've still learned something new. See, even you're happy with this world."
Angele looked at the couple and spoke in a light tone, "Are you sure they are happy? If they can live together forever, they will find out sooner or later."
"Of course they can't live forever. They will die just like mortals; however, I'll help them to get together after they grow up and this will last forever. I wanted you to become part of this world, but you found out the truth too early." Huan sounded a bit depressed.
"Everything felt like coincidences to me," Angele explained. "I just took over Yun Song's body and Xiulin suddenly got into trouble. I wanted to go to Xuyang and you suddenly decided to drive me there. You didn't want me to enter the Kalong Ruins; also, you used Nian to approach me. I disarmed the bomb, but the plane still exploded, and it only took me several minutes to find them. You wanted to turn me into a wandering soul in this gum using my emotions, right?"
"I failed anyway…"
"There were so many things that were wrong in this world. I assume this is your memory and the people in the dojo were your old friends." Angele took out the orb.
"This is one of the orbs that supported this world. If I break it, a part of this world will collapse, right?"
Huan nodded.
"Xiulin, Nian, and the other members were all my best friends. What are you going to do now? You've found the truth. Are you trying to wake everyone up?" She did not seem worried. She just asked Angele like she was asking a random question.
"What do I want to do?" A strange expression appeared on Angele's face. "You sister send me into this world because she wanted me to end this madness… Also, your sister is dying."
With a flick of his finger, he released a red string in the air which quickly turned into a diamond-shaped light screen. The old woman that Angele encountered was displayed on the screen.
She was still sitting in the chair with some white flowers on her knees. She looked so old that her body almost looked like a dried body.
Angele noticed that Huan was staring at the screen quietly. She just looked at her sister and Angele had no idea what she was thinking.
"Yeah… She's dying…" she suddenly said.
"So, what's your answer?"
Angele sighed with relief and raised the orb.
"Bring my sister to my world." A strange smiled suddenly appeared on Huan's face.
"Just live in my dream. You want to explore unknown worlds, right? There are countless attractive things in my world. You can get everything you want. This is the life you like, right?"
Angele narrowed his eyes and noticed that something changed. The birthmark on his back heated up; it felt like there was a flame burning in his body.
"You do want to keep me in your world…"
"Of course. Without the mark on your body, you wouldn't notice anything and live in this world forever. Why do you want to know the truth? Sometimes, you'll be disappointed if you know the truth… I've seen wandering souls like that…"
Huan raised her right hand and her right arm suddenly started burning. Her right armed turned dark and was burnt like a piece of wood.
Her right arm was covered in burning flames; it felt like the flames would never be extinguished.
Angele realized that Huan was not the Huan he knew. He also understood why the old monster pushed him into this world. She had been doing that to other adventurers, but none of them succeeded.
"So, the battle will happen no matter what… Sadly, flames like that can't do anything to me."
Raising his right hand, his arm started burning like crazy as well. It felt like there were invisible flames on his arm.
There was confusion, fear, and some excitement in Huan's eyes for some reason.
'Maybe she's been waiting for someone that can defeat her. She was trapped in her own memory.'
Angele waved his right hand.
BAM*
Stones and mud rose from the land. They quickly gathered around Angele's body, surrounding him in the center and turning him into a large stone golem.
The stone golem was getting taller and taller. It only took seconds for it to reach ten meters, however, the golem was still growing. Also, a large stone sword appeared in its hand.
Angele was in the center of the stone golem, staring at Huan calmly.
The golem's height increased from ten meters to 200 meters gradually.
Everything around him became blurry and the illusions all disappeared.
The golem stood in front of Huan and slowly reached to her using its hands.

Chapter 600: Oblivion (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
BAM*
The hand gripped Huan's body; however, it felt like the hand touched nothing. The hand broke into pieces of rock and splashed in the air.
Angele's head was dizzy for a second and he took several steps back loudly. He stopped only after hitting a black stone pillar.
"Ugh…"
Angele shook his head. His sight blurred and he could only see that someone was walking to him slowly on the dark land.
Raising his hand, he tried to hit the person that was walking to him, but his head got dizzy again.
Angele's sight blurred, he could not hear or see anything. The only thing in his sight was pure white.
BAM*
A loud noise came from behind. Angele felt like he was hit hard by something and nearly lost his balance.
Huan's body slowly appeared behind, and a green eye appeared on her right palm. The eye released a green ray, which pierced through the stone golem's back.
The ray disappeared after traveling for about ten meters.
"Such a thick skin…" Huan was a bit surprised.
She started teleporting around the stone golem's body; she would release a green ray every time she appeared.
CHI CHI CHI*
With a light noise, the green rays turned into green needles and all stabbed the golem's body. However, the green rays failed to damage it. The wounds would recover within seconds.
The problem was that Angele would be interrupted by the random dizziness every time he wanted to fight back.
The golem's body was leaning to the side; it seemed like the golem could fall at any time. There were countless white shadows flying around the golem—they all looked like Huan. The shadows were hitting the golem's body using the green rays constantly.
"Damn!"
A dark-red glow surrounded Angele's eyes and a black scorpion pattern appeared between his eyebrows. He released some dark-red energy waves, which quickly spread to all angles.
The waves were quickly destroyed by the green rays after they left the golem's body.
Time passed.
Angele was still in the center of the golem, but the red glow around his eyes was fading away.
'She's wasting my energy… I'm not an ancestor and I don't have endless energy. She'll win sooner or later even if she can't break through my defense. I need to figure out a way."
Suddenly, he noticed that something dangerous was coming from behind. He could feel goosebumps.
'It's coming!'
He suddenly turned around, but it was too late.
CHI*
A strong force sank into his back like a sharp needle.
On the dark land, more than ten green rays hit the golem's back at the same spot. The white shadows slowly merged into each other, turning into Huan.
She looked at the stone golem calmly; the green light around her hands slowly faded away.
"It's over… Isn't this the perfect ending?" she muttered as she stared at the giant in front of her. Her eyes were no longer focusing, and it seemed like she was thinking about something.
BOOM*
The golem's body collapsed; it felt like the golem was hit by a bomb. A rain of stones and mud started.
PA*
The stones and mud splashed after hitting the ground.
Huan was standing in the rain, but her body was not dirty at all. The stone pieces and the mud went through her body like she was just an illusion.
She watched the golem collapse. A lion man appeared in the rain of stones, his body covered with dark-red patterns; the fur around his neck was flying in the air.
"Roar!"
The lion man shouted and charged at Huan. Bright red light appeared around his body and quickly expanded in all directions.
The lion man left a red trail in the sky and charged at Huan. The area under his feet looked like boiling lava.
BAM*
The lion man slammed Huan's arms using its claws. They moved away from each other after the contact, green flames sparking in the air.
Although Huan was moving at full speed, she was still calm. Green glow appeared around her eyes.
"Stay in this eternal dream…"
Two translucent water beams were released from her eyes and hit Angele's face accurately.
"Roar!"
Angele quickly backed off and his eyes rolled. He started running around like crazy because he could not hear or see anything. He could barely think.
'The same thing happened! Her eyes! Her power is from her eyes!'
Angele raised his arm and the high-temperature field around him expanded. Huan was caught in the field right away.
The dark land started turning red, and the fissures on the ground were filled up with red lava. The air twisted; it almost felt like the air was burning. The stone pillars melted, they looked like burning candles. They quickly turned into pools of dark liquid. The smoke rising into the air was poisonous.
It almost felt like that the whole land was melting and evaporating.
Huan's brow furrowed.
CHI*
She disappeared into the air and teleported hundreds of meters away from Angele.
"You are always like this… War and desperation are the only things you want…" she complained as a large green flower appeared under her feet.
The flower was translucent, but it slowly solidified. It looked like a humongous lotus. Huan was standing in its center.
The lotus released a gentle green light, which blocked the red light. No matter how strong the red light was, it just could not invade the lotus.
Huan stood on the lotus and span her body. Her long black hair was dancing in the air and her feet were surrounded by countless green light dots. The lights dots floated in the air and stopped moving.
CHI CHI*
The green light dots turned into green eyes and were all staring at Angele.
Angele finally got rid of the dizziness and stared at the green eyes carefully. He noticed that the power in the eyes might be the reason why he got dizzy.
'I must dodge these things…'
The pattern between his eyebrows flashed and he turned into two lion men. The lion men moved in two different directions and raised their arms as they ran. Their arms slowly turned translucent and released a bright white light.
CHI CHI*
The sky was brightened up by the white light.
Huan was just standing there quietly. Most of her green eyes were destroyed and half of her body was blown into pieces. Her flesh and bones were exposed to the air, however, her body was recovering at full speed.
"What… was that…?" She had no idea what just happened.
Crack*
It sounded like glass being broken. Huan raised her head and saw the remaining part of the Ball of the Four Seasons falling down his hands.
WOO*
The earth started shaking and the world became unstable.
CHI*
A dark fissure appeared between Angele and Huan. It felt like the space was torn apart like a piece of cloth.
"My chance!"
Blue light dots appeared in front of Angele's eyes as he dropped the destroyed orb. The dimension became unstable and everything was twisted. Dark cracks that looked like spider webs appeared in the air.
Angele was analyzing the situation using the biochip. He was checking the dark fissures.
Huan noticed his movement.
"Trying to escape?"
She laughed and pointed at the sky using her left hand.
Green lightning splashed in the sky.
The gray clouds in the sky slowly moved away, revealing a humongous aircraft with cannons attached to its bottom. The cannons were gathering green light and could attack Angele at any time.
The green light from the cannon brightened up the whole area.
WOO*
The cannons vibrated and aimed at Angele. The green light was getting brighter and brighter.
BOOM*
The green rays were hundreds of meters long and landed on the ground like green pillars. The green rays were surrounded by dark energy waves. The waves were formed by the unstable dimension.
Angele raised his head and looked at the green rays. Suddenly, the birthmark on his back was aching again and the blue light dots were still flashing in front of his eyes. Rows of data were being refreshed every second. The strike from the sky stopped him from moving.
Something he had never felt before was making him anxious.
Angele had no other choices. His body slowly turned translucent and released some gentle white light. The pure white light, which had no impurities in it, slowly pushed the green light away from Angele. Angele's body almost looked like a large piece of crystal.
"Light Form…"
The green rays landed on the ground and swallowed Angele.
Everything was impacted by the endless green light. Angele's body slowly turned into dust and merged into the green light gradually.
The blue light from his eyes was getting brighter and brighter. Rows of data were constantly being refreshed and analyzed by the biochip.
"I'm getting close…" he muttered and stared at a certain thing in the air. The white light around his body slowly gathered on his head.
Most of his body was turned into dust, but Angele's head was still floating in the air. The rest of his body all turned into glowing green dust.
Suddenly, Angele opened his eyes and released some dark smoke. It felt like there were countless ants in the smoke; it hit something in front of him.
Crack*
The area in front of Angele's face cracked and the fissure quickly expanded. Pieces of green fragments started falling, and revealed the darkness in the fissure.
The green fragments looked like dried paint that was falling off a wall.
The data analysis was getting faster and faster. Angele's shoulders disappeared and his neck started disappearing.
'Found it!' Angele was excited.
He had no time to think and hit the area in front of him using his head.
KA*
He charged into a dark space, and could hear the furious roar from behind. It was from Huan Ri.
Angele glanced at the area behind for the last time.
There were some pink light dots in the endless green light. The pink light dots turned into pink rivers and ran over the location that Angele had been standing at like sharks that were looking for prey.

The hole retracted and disappeared like a closing mouth. The area around the hole also sank into the darkness.
'This is the… dimension shadow? Why am I here?'
Angele only had a head left. It was now floating in the void.
'The dimension shadow is endless. I don't think the time here can be easily calculated. One second in the shadow might be ten thousand years in some realms. I need to leave the shadow as soon as possible!'
Red glow surrounded Angele's eyes.
He tried his best to escape Huan's world. Angele had the ability to fight back when Huan was still holding back, however, there was nothing he could do after Huan fully activated her power.
The biochip did the calculation before the green rays landed on his body and he finally found a weak point of the dimension. He used all his power to create the dimension fissure and escaped Huan's world.
Without the biochip, there would be nothing he could do. He would perish in the green rays and his soul would be trapped in Huan's world forever.
'The difference between a sealed form and an ancestor is huge… The Light Form was my strongest ability, but it barely damaged Huan. Although Huan took some damage, she recovered so fast that it almost felt like nothing happened.'
Blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes.
'Zero, check Huan's energy data and analyze the power level of an ancestor's Siva State.'
'Task created…'
'Collecting the data…'
Zero's mechanical voice echoed in Angele's ears.
Angele felt a bit relieved. He knew that he would be severely injured since his power level was lower than Huan.
He rested for a while and the black scorpion pattern appeared between his brow again. The pattern vibrated slightly and released a black string.
He chanted the incantation slowly in a deep tone. It was a vibration rune that needed to be used together with the bloodline sigil.
The black string was getting longer and longer as he chanted the incantation. It twisted in the sky and turned into a black zipper several seconds later.
The black string disappeared after the zipper was created.
Angele bit the zipper and pulled it down.
CHI*
The zipper was unfastened, revealing a dark blue sky. There was a white crescent moon hanging in the center of the sky.
Strangely, the surface of the moon was rough. It was covered with tiny holes, and there were black insects climbing out of them.
It almost looked like that the moon was covered with ants.
A bitter smile appeared on Angele's face.
'I have no idea which realm this is…'
He had had no choice—he had to open the fissure to the closest realm using the power of the scorpion woman. The realm was unstable and that was the reason why he opened the fissure so easily.
Angele had no time to think and he moved into the zipper immediately.Some random realm.
The light from the ant-covered moon illuminated the land. There were insects making noises.
In the sky above a random plain, a black zipper suddenly appeared, and a human head jumped out of it.
The head rolled several times on the ground and stopped after hitting a white stone. The zipper in the sky also disappeared slowly.
"Ugh…"
It was Angele's head. He exhaled deeply and leaned against the white stone. He was having trouble adjusting the position of his neck.
"Greetings."
A dark green frog crouched in front of Angele and greeted him.
"Well, greetings," Angele responded. The frog was so close to him that it made him feel a bit weird. He quickly moved away from the frog and observed it carefully.
"Which world are you from?"
The frog was speaking in standard Chaos language; its voice was gentle. The frog was breathing calmly and it almost sounded like it was a young man who just spoke.
"I don't know." Angele was telling the truth. "Who are you and where am I?"
This was the question he wanted to ask.
"I'm a green frog, a normal frog. This is the Oblivion Realm; the Chaos Realm is right next to us. You can also call this realm the Oblivion World. The size of the world depends on how you perceive it. Ah, one more thing, which level are you at?" the frog asked a random question.
"What do you mean?" Angele was confused. "What level are you talking about? Does it represent anything?"
"This is a philosophical question. I've been thinking that I'm probably not just a frog. I'm probably a great philosopher." The frog was just saying random things.
"Well, that's a tricky question…" Angele's mouth twitched. He had no idea what was going on.
"Alright, let's end the conversation here. I need to visit the Fountain of Debris. It'll be opened soon. There's one thing I need to tell you. Don't stay here for too long. This is a cursed area. The Lord of Misfortune cursed the 9000 worlds here, and you'll be cursed too if you are not careful." The frog jumped away before Angele could say anything else.
Angele watched the frog leave. He hesitated for a second and started rolling in the same direction with his head.
It was hard to roll his own head, but it would consume a lot of energy to rebuild his flesh. He needed to consume some meat and blood so he could save some energy.
He rolled to the forest and traveled for a while. Angele got tired and stopped by a tall tree.
There were a couple of purple flowers on the left. The flower petals were covered with eyes that looked like tiny mirrors. The eyes were staring at him curiously.
"Greetings." Angele greeted the eyes on the flower petals.
The purple flowers did not respond. Their eyes were rolling; it seemed like they were not intelligent.
Angele was a bit surprised. He scanned the flower using the biochip. There was no other creature around.
He moved to the flower and pulled the flower off its root using his tongue.
Angele bit the flower and chewed the eyes on the petals. Some sweet and sticky liquid spread in his mouth.
'They taste like cherries…' Angele swallowed the whole thing and started eating the other purple flowers. Several seconds later, he finished all the purple flowers around.
He returned to the original location and leaned against the tree. He started rebuilding his body.
Minutes later, his shoulders returned, and his arms also returned. However, the growth stopped quickly—only the upper half of his body was successfully rebuilt.
"I need more…" Angele shook his head and looked around. There was no other creature around.
DI*
Zero's mechanical voice echoed in his ears.
'Analysis completed. Data analyzed. Read now?
'Sure,' Angele responded right away.
Huan's body appeared in his sight. The body was a blue hologram, rotating slowly.
Under the hologram, there was a golden wave that was moving like a snake. Random numbers were being displayed above the golden wave; there were at least ten rows of numbers.
Angele only checked the numbers he needed.
'Damage level: 3060 thousand degrees to unknown.'
'Defense level: 140 thousand degrees to 440 thousand degrees.'
'Stamina: Unknown.'
'Mentality: 1620 thousand to unknown.'
Angele skipped the unknown part and looked at the conclusion.
'Based on the data, an ancestor has 23 times your power at Siva State. Please avoid fighting an ancestor.'
'23 times… And this is not the highest number… No wonder I had no way to fight back. My Light Form only damaged her physical form slightly.' Angele was speechless.
'I should recover in the Oblivion Realm and figure what's going on with this place.'
Angele checked the mark on his soul and noticed that the mark was not doing anything. However, he knew that the mark would still alert him in certain situations. It seemed like the old monster left the mark on his body for more than one reason.
He used his hands as his feet and started walking to the deep forest. He could hear things moving through the bushes; there were random voices echoing above the forest.
The ground was cold and wet. He went over some broken pieces of stones and tree branches.
Angele was moving forward slowly. Although half of his physical form was destroyed, his true form was not impacted. The most important part of his body was his head, so it was not a problem. He wondered if Huan already figured it out and just did not want to kill him.
He kept walking; he had no idea how long had passed.
The moonlight was blocked by the trees. The shadows under the trees were dark.
Angele was moving forward quietly. Suddenly, he turned around and stopped by a tree. He quickly hid in the shadows.
He leaned to the side and looked ahead.
A silver deer was eating grass from the ground. The deer's body was glowing and it was standing by the bushes.
The deer had a clean white body; the light around it was gentle. The deer had two large horns that almost looked like artworks.
Also, a naked palm-sized girl was sitting on the deer's head. The girl had long blonde hair trailing over her body and a cute face. The girl had a pair of translucent wings double the size of her body.
The girl's body was white and clean. Her feet were swinging in the air and she was singing a random song on top of the deer's head.

"Lalala~ Lalala~ I have a cute deer that always follows my orders…" The girl was singing while shaking her head slightly.
Several other fairies like the girl showed up in the forest. They were all naked and had translucent wings on their backs.
The fairies sang and flew around the white deer, leaving a trail of white light dots behind.
Angele hid behind the tree, his brow furrowed. He took out a small purple bag from the mirror. He sprinkled some purple dust on his body and the area around him.
Some purple patterns appeared around the ground. Angele's body became translucent and slowly disappeared into the air.
There were more than ten fairies flying around the white deer, all singing.
The white deer crouched, closed its eyes, and started resting.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, the deer screamed as its skull was ripped apart. The fairies were stirring the deer's brain like crazy using their hands.
The rest of the fairies also charged to the deer and started devouring its body. They were sharing the deer's meat together.
The deer's white body was soaked in fresh blood.
A fairy grabbed one of its front legs and easily pulled it off the deer's body. Several fairies flew to the leg and started chewing the meat.
The white deer was screaming in pain, however, it slowly stopped moving on the ground. The fairies were still eating the deer and the blood splashed everywhere. Stink quickly permeated the air.
Angele remained silent behind the tree and watched the fairies eat the deer. The fairies left the area after a while. Angele carefully walked to the deer's dead body.
He crouched by the deer's large horns and checked them carefully. The horns were hard and warm. He made sure that there was no other creature around and took out a black mirror. The mirror expanded and its length increased to two meters.
He threw the horns into the mirror, which quickly shrank. Angele collected and tied it to his waist.
Angele started heading to his original destination after collecting the horns.
He traveled in the dark forest; he had no idea how long had passed. At some point, Angele could hear that there was a river running ahead.
Angele increased his speed and noticed that there was white light in the area ahead.
The light was getting brighter and the noise made by the river louder as Angele proceeded. He reached the edge of the forest and stopped by a large tree. He leaned to the side and looked around.
Outside the forest was a small white fountain. The water in the fountain was from a stone vase on the left. It was clean and poured endlessly.
Strangely, the water level in the fountain never changed. The fountain was only half filled and was releasing a gentle fragrance.
A palm-sized yellow lizard was moving to the fountain slowly but steadily. It arrived at the edge of the fountain and jumped into the water.
BLOP*
The lizard disappeared as it touched the water.
Angele narrowed his eyes.
'The dimension waves… If I'm not mistaken…'
He stayed behind the tree.
Several minutes later, a gray rabbit with red vortexes in its eyes walked to the fountain. It jumped into the water and disappeared as well.
New dimension waves appeared in the air.
Angele checked the dimension waves carefully and started thinking.
He pressed on the chest using his hand, and dark red glow appeared.
'I was correct… I can communicate with the Nightmare Realm again. The dimension in this realm is unstable and the realm power here is not pressuring me. I can return to the Nightmare Realm after I'm fully recovered.'
Angele was worried that he would not be able to leave the Oblivion realm so easily before he found out the secret.
He waited for a while, but no other creatures came.
He stepped forward, walked to the fountain, and crouched.
"Greetings, newcomer, which realm do you want to enter?" A gentle voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
"What do you mean?" Angele was surprised. He did not expect to talk with the fountain.
"I'm the water that is connected to three high-level realms. You can travel to three different realms using me," Fountain of Debris responded in a gentle voice. "My job is to transfer you to the realms. Also, if you find other Fountains of Debris, you can use them to travel to different realms. We are bridges that connect the realms."
Angele thought for a second and asked, "Which means, Fountains of Debris are fountains that can take me to different realms, right? It doesn't matter if it's the same fountain or not, I just need to find Fountains of Debris when I'm in different realms."
"Yes, you're correct," the fountain responded. "The teleportation helps us grow. The more realms we communicate with, the stronger we'll be. That's the reason why we're here. Also, newcomer, drinking my water will heal your wounds."
Angele hesitated for a second and drank some water from the fountain. The water was tasteless and it felt like he was drinking air.
Seconds later, his body itched and the rest of his body recovered slowly.
"Which realms do I have access to?" Angele questioned.
"Chaos Realm, Shadow Realm, and the wizard world."
"Huh? I didn't expect the wizard world to be an option." Angele was a bit surprised.
"The realm you're in is close to the three realms I just mentioned. You can find many dimension fissures here. Also, this is a midpoint of the Oblivion Realm. You're not in the true Oblivion Realm, so you don't need to be surprised. You can enter the aforementioned realms using many different methods," the fountain explained.
"Do I need to pay you anything to use your service?"
"You can bring the water from other Fountains of Debris if possible. I'll pay you if you can do that. Also, teleportation is free since that's the reason why I'm here."
Angele straightened his back and thought for a while by the fountain.
"Take me to the Chaos Realm."
"Jump in."
Angele jumped into the fountain.
"Ah!"
Something screamed behind his back when Angele's feet contacted the water. Angele felt like he was paralyzed for a second, and was blocked by the fountain. He landed on the area beside the fountain after the impact.
"What's in your body?!" The fountain sounded surprised. "The realm power blocked you. The thing in your body is rejected by the target realm!"
Angele's head was dizzy; it took him a while to recover.
"What just happened?" He walked back to the fountain slowly. Angele did not trust the fountain completely when he jumped. However, the water removed all his defensive power when he contacted it; the experience was not pleasant.
"Sadly, you're rejected by the realm. I don't think I can send you there…" the fountain responded calmly. "The thing in your body is the problem. You can't teleport now."
"How's that even possible?" Angele's brow furrowed. "I'm sure I'm connected to at least one realm."
"You can try it yourself. I think your power has already recovered."
Angele put his hand on his chest and his body was quickly surrounded by a red glow.
"Ah!"
The scream echoed again and his head was dizzy. The red light quickly disappeared and he failed to connect to the Nightmare Realm.
The scream reminded him of the old monster in the dimension maze. He realized what the reason was.
"I was correct. It's not my problem. The thing in your body is the problem," the fountain spoke in a light tone. "I think it's the mark of an ancestor. It's a method used by the ancestors if the ancestors don't want you to escape. However, it seems like yours is a bit different…"
Angele stood there as the blue light flashed in his eyes. He inhaled deeply and looked at the fountain after a while.
"Fountain of Debris, can you solve my problem?"
"Your situation is different. I can try to send you out by consuming my own water, however, I don't see the point of doing that," the fountain responded. "You need to pay for such service."
Angele looked at the fountain. "What do you want me to do in return?"
The fountain remained silent for a while and released a mentality wave, which turned into a message and entered Angele's ears.
"Outsider, I can see that you've traveled to many different realms and you're marked by an ancestor. If you can take my seed to other realms and guard me for 100 hundred years, I'll consume my own water and send you to the target realm."
Angele remained silent for a second and agreed to the offer. He realized what the fountain was after hearing these words.
He had read about the fountains that could teleport people to different realms back in the wizard world. The more realms they could communicate with, the stronger they would be. Like the Eyes of Destruction, you could find them in many different realms.

The information was the same as what Fountain of Debris just said; he felt a bit relieved.
"If I accept the offer, a contract will be created automatically, right? In the name of the four realms you can communicate with," Angele responded slowly.
"Yes, the promises I make are protected by the realms, which means you shouldn't accept the offer if you can't keep your promise." The fountain went straight to the point.
Angele remained silent as blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes.
The fountain remained silent as well.
About half an hour later, Angele exhaled slowly and nodded.
"I'll accept the offer."
Angele knew that what the fountain asked him to do was hard to accomplish, however, it was nearly impossible for him to travel to another realm by himself. He tried it many times, but he was interrupted by the mark.
The fountain vibrated, and the water turned into a translucent platform. There was a nail-sized silver ball on the platform, glowing slightly.
"This is the seed of my fountain, please keep it well and keep your promise. The four realms witnessed our agreement, if you break your promise, you'll be pressured by the four realms at the same time. You're not an ancestor, so your soul will be eliminated if that happens."
"I understand." Angele nodded and picked the silver ball up carefully. He opened his mouth and swallowed it. It was the safest way to keep the ball.
"Please get ready and tell me the realm that you want to travel to. I suggest that you skip the Chaos Realm. A war of ancestors is going on; you'll be caught in the middle of it. It's just a suggestion, all three realms might help you with the mark so you should make the decision by yourself."
"If you're telling the truth, I can still remove the mark in the wizard world? Send me back to the wizard world then." Angele made the decision.
"Understood. Jump again, please."
The fountain stopped talking.
Angele inhaled deeply and jumped into the fountain.
BLOP*ROAR*
A random rhino roared.
The golden clouds in the sky were moving quickly; the sun was hiding behind them.
The tornado in Nicolas Abyss was rotating slowly but steadily. The tornado was so large that it connected the plain to the sky.
Somewhere in the plain.
A black fissure appeared in the sky.
CHI*
The fissure slowly expanded, and a naked man with long hair jumped out of it. The man had long red hair and a pair of dark red eyes. His body was strong and healthy.
The man landed on the grass and flicked his finger. The mud and the grass on the ground were pulled into the air, then gathered around the man's body and turned into a light green outfit.
He was satisfied with the green armor he created; he quickly checked the surroundings.
"This is the plain with the tornado—the area in front of the tornado. I didn't expect the dimension fissure to bring me here."
He rubbed his beard and thought, 'I should go to the root of the world and find the information I need.'
He looked at the tornado and floated in the air. He leaned forward and started flying toward the tornado.
Angele still remembered the route to the root of the world and so quickly found the way in after traveling through the dust.
The inn was still standing in the dust quietly, and the light screen above the inn never changed. It looked the same as the last time Angele saw it.
He landed in front of the inn and knocked on the door.
Knock Knock*
CHI*
The door opened by itself as Angele knocked on it. The place was dark and the hall was empty. There was only a candle burning on the counter.
The owner of the inn, the red beard, was standing by the candle. He was holding a wooden cup in one hand and some leather paper in the other. He was reading the paper when Angele entered the inn.
He got confused for a second when he saw Angele, but he quickly recognized him and got excited.
"It's you! Haha…" He put down the leather paper and the cup while laughing. He walked to Angele and hugged Angele hard.
"Long time no see!" Angele was not used to being treated like this, but he still greeted the red beard.
"Yeah, it has been a while. Actually… it has been 800 years since we last met. So, have you changed your mind? Do you want to join the inn now?" the red beard said as he sat down by a table.
With a flick of his finger, two glasses of yellow wine appeared on the table.
"800 years?" Angele's pupils retracted. "Are you serious? I didn't think it was that long…"
The red beard glanced at Angele as he heard that.
He shook his head and asked, "I think you went to somewhere with different time units, were you in an unstable dimension? Also, the smell from your body is strange and unwelcoming… Can you tell me what happened to you?"
"I'm here to ask for your help. I was marked by something, and the mark will stop me from traveling to other realms. I need to find a way to remove the mark." Angele turned around the armor on his back opened, revealing his back.
There were some green patterns in the center of his back. The patterns looked like a scarf that was covered with purple eyes. There were hundreds of eyes on the scarf, and they were blinking from time to time.
The red beard's face turned pale after seeing the mark. He was so surprised that he almost dropped the wine glass.
"My lord… Where did you get this from? It's a mark from an ancestor!" His voice was loud, but it sounded like he was a bit scared while speaking.
"So it's true. Do you have a way to handle it?" Angele turned around and the armor returned to normal. "They say you're a walking library. I don't think it's a difficult problem for you, right?"
"Of course! I can help you!" The red beard finished the wine and put down the glass. "It's a mark from the ancestor. The ancestor applied it on your body because you're his target. Most importantly, the mark will damage you permanently and stop you from traveling to other realms!"
"Huh?"
"The longer the mark is on your body, the stronger it will become. I don't know which ancestor applied the mark on you, but I suggest that you pay the Moon Empire a visit. They have detailed information about the ancestors. They know all the ancestors in the wizard world and the realms around the wizard world. You need to find the owner of the mark, then you'll find the way to handle it," the red beard explained. He was looking at Angele like looking at a dead person. "You'd better hurry. If the mark becomes too strong, you won't even be able to use portals, which means you'll have to travel physically."
"Moon Empire? I've never heard of an empire with that name." Angele's expression turned serious.
"It's an ancient empire in the underground world; it's not occupied by human beings—the empire was built by the night elves. Also, the Moon Empire is in a different part of the underground world. They are in the west of the central continent. They don't need any light to survive, so they didn't participate in the Great War. Night elves are mysterious. I've heard that they knew a lot of things that the human beings didn't know, including the marks of the ancestors."
"If it's in a different part, how do I get to there…" Angele's brow furrowed. "What should I do even if I can find the entrance to the empire?"
"The entrance is located at a random ruin of the west coast. I'll draw a map for you. Enter the entrance and find the Trees of Night Elf. They are the most knowledge beings in the empire; I think they can help you identify the mark"—the red beard sighed—"I thought you could help me, but it seems like you're in a lot of trouble. You need to get rid of the mark as soon as possible."
Angele patted the red beard's shoulders. "Thank you. I can leave a shadow here so I can still help you."
"A shadow? What can a shadow do…"
"A lot of things."
Angele chuckled.
Ten minutes later…
Angele left the inn with a map in his hand. There were many red lines on the map, and the most obvious mark had some tiny characters written beside it.
It was Ramsoda.
Ramsoda was marked with a red dot—it was the entrance to the underground world.
"West coast…" Angele raised his head and started searching through his memory.
Angele studied in Ramsoda, but his teacher went to the underground world a long time ago. He wondered what happened to his old friends, including Isabel.
The things that happened above the Gem Sea also flashed in front of his eyes.
He suddenly had the urge to revisit his old friends and the places he knew.
He wondered what happened to his family and wanted to know if Isabel was still alive. Also, he wanted to see how his teacher was doing in the underground world.
Angele watched the golden sun rise and changed his direction. He started heading to the west side of the central continent. Several seconds later, his body disappeared into a ball of red flames. He decided to teleport to move faster.
He slowly disappeared from the plain.
A ball of red flames appeared at the place he was standing at. The fireball turned into a human being with a translucent body, which solidified as time passed. It was Angele's shadow.
"Alright, I'll take care of this!" Angele's shadow smiled, turned around, and headed back to the inn.

One month later…
Michael Tower, a city by the edge of the central continent.
There were many tall white towers in the city. Several small air transportation sites were built by the edge of the city.
On the green grass plain, the airport transportation sites looked like small brown flowers. There were people entering and leaving the sites. The airships were also landing and leaving the sites.
In one of the air transportation sites, there was a long line of those waiting. Most of them were wizards; there were also Grand Knights. Besides human beings, there were also female centaurs wearing white armor and men with heads of owls or eagles.
The wizards were all wearing long robes, and their faces were covered by their hoods.
A man in front of the line was wearing a long black robe and a mask. People could still see long red hair on his back.
The mask did not cover the man's red eyes, but his forehead was concealed by the hood.
He was the next one to board the airship.
"Please show me your ticket." The one that was checking the ticket was a man with the head of a bear.
The man handed a black iron card to the bear man, who broke the card in half, then kept half of the card and handed the other half to the man.
The man grabbed the card and boarded the airship using the wooden staircase.
The brown airship looked like a boat, and had the head of a white bear painted on the right side. The sails were not set yet.
There were already a lot of people on board, but the place was not crowded at all. It could easily fit 30 more people.
The man went around on board and found a corner with not many people around. He stood by the railings and enjoyed the wind.
It was Angele, who traveled all the way here from the tornado. If he wanted to go to the west coast, using the airship was the most convenient way. The airship could move in a straight line and was relatively safe when compared to travel on land. Most importantly, the airship had similar speed as Angele.
Angele put his hands on the railing and looked down.
The white city on the far side was illuminated by the sunlight. There were many airships in the sky above; the gentle wind blowing over his face was quite warm. He could also hear the noise made by the engines of the airships.
"Alright, we'll now arrange the rooms. Please check the number on your ticket and find your own room." A female voice came from the iron card.
"Card number 1, please head to room number 31. Card number two, please head to room number 12. Card number 3…"
The announcement was to tell the passengers the rooms they were assigned to.
Angele checked his card, the number was 25.
"Card number 25, please head to room number 7…"
Angele waited until the announcement finished and all the passengers had boarded the ship. The airship suddenly vibrated.
"Note, airship number 19 will be leaving the site soon, please stay away from the railings."
"Mom… I'm scared…" A girl that was about seven years old holding a female wizard's legs looked scared.
"Don't worry, mom is here. Don't move."
The female wizard crouched and hugged her daughter. A man in a white robe and silver glasses was standing beside them, holding several books. It seemed like he was the husband of the woman.
Angele glanced at them and noticed that one of the books in the man's hands was called History of the Central Continent.
He thought for a while and approached the man.
"Excuse, could you lend me this book, the History of the Central Continent?"
His question surprised the family. The female wizard and the male wizard observed Angele carefully.
The male wizard looked at Angele. "Sorry, but this book…"
"I'll give you this if you can lend me the book." Angele took out a mid-level magic stone, whose clean surface reflected the sunlight.
"Sorry, this is my daughter's birthday gift. If you really need one, you can purchase a new one after we arrive at the destination." The male wizard looked at the magic stone. He wanted the stone, but still declined the offer.
"No worries. I just want to read the book to kill some time," Angele replied politely. He thought the male wizard would hand the book to him right away. 700 years had passed in the wizard world. After the war against the Nightmare Realm, a mid-level magic stone could easily purchase a lot of materials.
A lot of magic stones were used during the war and the energy cycle in the central continent was damaged. There were fewer energy particles in the central continent than before and most of the magic stone mines were closed.
The fewer the magic stone mines, the higher the price of the magic stones would be. Wizards who still had mid-level magic stones were probably from large families.
Angele talked to some other wizards on his way to the air transportation site and learned a bit about the new central continent.
The wizards were much weaker than before due to the war. The ranking system was still the same, but there were not many rank 4 wizards left. The wizard organizations were different due to the lack of materials. An organization with a rank 4 wizard and a Legacy Magic Circle would be considered strong.
The wizards at different levels were slightly weaker than the wizards from Angele's era.
"If you just want to read it for a bit, I won't take the magic stone. Just make sure you give it back to me after," the male wizard responded carefully and handed the book over to Angele.
Angele grabbed the book and opened it. He found the pages that recorded what happened in the last 700 years.
After the wizard alliance disbanded, Prince Evil Dragon disappeared and the wizard organizations reclaimed their territories. The Elemental Hand was still on the list. Shadow Lord and Sky Lord lost their territories. Mirror Lord still had territory but lost the title, and the new territory was named Wizard Tower Forest.
A lot of things happened in the central continent over the last 300 years.
Angele closed the book after about half an hour and returned to the male wizard.
"So many things happened when I was not around…"
The male wizard grabbed the book and smiled.
"It's understandable; it's true that things are changing quickly. I became a formal wizard about 100 years ago, and everything changed since then. The old buildings were renovated and many famous wizards disappeared."
"You're right. Things have changed, and nothing is the same now." Angele nodded.
"I'm probably an old man in the young ones' eyes…"
He glanced around and noticed that the airship was already in the air. He could still see the green grass and the air transportation site on the ground. There were also airships preparing to land.
"May I ask if you know how those routes are arranged? Why are so many people heading to the west coast?" Angele wondered.
The man chuckled.
"There is a lot of airships, but only a few of them are heading to the west coast, including this one. Didn't you notice that most of us are weak? Apprentices, low-level wizards, and knights. Not everyone wants to stay in the central continent. We'll be treated better on the west coast.
"True," Angele agreed and nodded.
They remained silent after the conversation ended. They just looked at the forest below as the airship flew. The airship was already surrounded by white clouds.
The man's wife whispered to him with their daughter in her arms.
"Sorry, I need to go. The temperature is decreasing, I need to put more clothes on my daughter."
Angele nodded. "Sure. I'm going back to my room too."
They went to the cabin together and found the rooms. Angele said goodbye to the family and went to the other side of the hallway. He found his own room quickly.
The iron card was the key to the room. He twisted the handle slightly after inserting the card and opened the door. There were two bunk beds in the room.
The beds were made of black metal; the sheets were white.
Three of the beds were already occupied by two women and a man. They were all around 20 years old.
The two women were wearing gray and black metal armor: they were knights. They were lying in the beds with their clothes on. The man, who was wearing a gray robe, was reading a book quietly.
Angele's appearance caught their attention. The two female knights looked at Angele, but there was no expression on their faces. The male apprentice's brow furrowed but he did not say a word.
Angele decided not to greet them since no one said anything. Only a few airships would travel to the west coast, so the rooms were usually crowded.
It was a small room: two beds and four small nightstands were everything in the room. He could barely walk between the bunk beds.
Angele noticed that only the top level of a bunk bed was left; a female knight with red hair was below him. He climbed up the ladder and the female knight below him fell asleep again.
Angele looked at the knight when climbing up.
Clean skin, beautiful hair, large eyes, large breasts, slim waist, and long legs. The woman almost looked perfect.
Sadly, Angele noticed the remaining radiation energy in her body. It seemed like a wizard modified the woman's face, legs, and skin using certain spells.
'Cosmetic surgery performed by a wizard?' Angele shook his head and lay down. He glanced at the other female girl as well.
The female knight looked very different than the one under him. The woman had blonde hair and was wearing a white shirt. Her armor was left on a nightstand.
The woman had a pair of sharp eyes and there was a red scar on the left side of her face. Her body was balanced, but nothing looked strange. She noticed Angele's sight upon her, but she was not concerned. She closed her eyes and started resting again.
Angele also noticed that there was a metal dagger under her pillow.
'At least this one has a natural body.'
He then checked the male apprentice. The man's face and the bottom of his body were also modified by spells. The world really changed, wizards would only modify their own bodies hundreds of years ago.

The female knight with red hair and the male apprentice also noticed that Angele and the other woman did not modify their body. It seemed like they did not like people who had natural bodies.
"It'll take a while until we reach our destination. Since we're in the same room, why don't we introduce ourselves? I'll start. My name is Gai, and I'm a rank 3 apprentice." The male apprentice suddenly opened his mouth. "Alright, your turn." He was talking to the female knight with a scar on her face.
The female knight opened her eyes and put her arms behind her head.
"Erin, I'm a knight," she responded in a calm and light tone.
The female knight with red hair changed her position slightly and smiled.
"I'm Selina, and I'm a rank 3 apprentice."
"My name is Green, and I'd rather keep my rank secret," Angele introduced himself, but there was no point for him in telling others about his rank.
"Your eyes are beautiful and have some good fashion sense." Selina was interested in Angele because the man gave her an unusual feeling. She was looking at Angele from below; Angele could easily see her breasts from that angle.
The woman climbed her way up using her body because of her low talent level. She did everything she could to become a rank 3 apprentice, and it was nearly impossible for her to rank up again. That was the reason why she decided to move to the west coast.
"Thanks…" Angele smiled; his eyes were red like rubies. "You have a nice body."
They chatted for a while before the lunchtime.
They left the room, walked down the hallway, and entered a spacious dining hall.
There were rows of metal tables and chairs in the dining hall. People were already having food on their seats; they could purchase prepared dishes from the counters.
Angele waited in the line and got himself a lunch combo. He had an omelet, some vegetable salad, some barbequed pork, and a large serving of white bread.
He found a random seat and was about to start eating. The female knight named Selina suddenly sat down by Angele and put down her plate. The food in her plate looked better than the food in Angele's plate.
The male apprentice named Gai sat down in front of them with a plate full of food. He waved at the girl named Erin, who was sitting by herself in a corner.
"Erin, come sit with us. We can have lunch together."
Erin glanced at them.
"Don't worry about me."
She lowered her head and focused on the food in her plate.
"Well, we'll be living in the same room for a while, we should at least have lunch together…" Gai muttered.
"Let me talk to her." Selina stood up. She walked to Erin and dragged her to their table. They were both knights, but it seemed like Selina was stronger and her rank was higher. Although Erin tried to decline the offer, she was still dragged to their table.
They sat down. Angele noticed there was only some brown bread in Erin's plate. She was drinking water and eating the cheapest bread.
Her plate was not appealing at all when compared to others' plates.
It seemed like Selina was doing it intentionally. She straightened her back and grabbed Erin's shoulders.
"Erin, why did you order the worst food? Are you trying to lose weight? Your body needs a lot of nutrients. Alright, have some egg rolls." She put the egg rolls in her plate onto Erin's plate. No one knew if Selina was being generous or just mocking the other party.
"Don't worry about me…" Erin tried to push Selina's plate away, but the egg rolls were already on her plate.
Angele and Gai watched the scene, but they did not say a word. They were just eating their food.
After lunch, they returned to the room together. Selina asked Angele a lot of questions. Gai was reading his book. As for Erin, she looked a bit depressed after the incident. She lay in her bed and no one knew what she was thinking.
Angele chatted with Selina while monitoring his body's condition.
He was not releasing strong energy waves and mentality waves. With the pressure from the ancestor's mark, others would think that he was just a mortal. Strangely, the only thing the ancestor's mark did was to stop him from teleporting to other realms. The mark did not hurt his body and it was somehow improving his bloodline. He could feel that his true form was getting stronger as time passed. Angele's power was increasing like there was no limitat.
Angele's power level was increasing so fast that he was a bit scared. The barrier made by the six-arm snake race had a limitation, if Angele's power level was too high, the barrier would break. The barrier was already damaged when he was exploring the intestine of the world. The barrier could break at any time if his power level continued to increase.
Ten days passed quickly.
Selina was treating Angele like he was her close friend, however, no matter what she did, Angele did not show any interest. He was paying more attention to the other female knight named Erin.
After they had the lunch together, Erin never joined them again; she would have her lunch at a different time. Also, she never used any paid services or bought any snacks in the airship. It seemed like she had some financial problems.
The female knight did not even have money for the hot water, and used cold water to wash her clothes and clean her body. The temperature in the sky was extremely low. The place was cold even for a knight. Angele talked to the workers in the airship and ended up paying for the hot water for her.
Angele felt like Erin was similar to the female swordsman named Velvet. Velvet was in the same ship as him when he was traveling to Ramsoda. The girl was not very talented, but she never gave up.
Also, Erin would lower her head and blush when she saw Angele after she found out that Angele was paying her bill. The hot water in the airship was relatively expensive when compared to other services. Erin would rather spend the money on food, however, she knew that she might get sick if she continued to use the cold water.
Several days later, Erin decided to talk to Angele. She asked Angele to find her on the deck.
There was no one else on the deck. The place was so cold that no one would go there. Only the workers would check the condition of the airship from time to time.
Angele and Erin stood by the entrance of the cabin.
"You don't have to buy the hot water for me. I can't pay you back." She looked at Angele calmly.
She spent all her money on the ticket to the west coast; she had not expected the hot water to be so expensive. The wizard apprentices could warm up the water by themselves, but Erin was just a knight. She could only rely on the special cold water provided by the airship. The special water would not freeze even when the temperature was lower than negative 30 degrees. Erin almost passed out when she used cold water to clean her body in the bathroom.
"Don't worry. I just want to do it." Angele's face was covered with a mask. He did not expect to meet a girl that could remind him of Velvet. That was the only reason why Angele decided to pay for her hot water.
Angele declined Velvet's offer for various reasons. The incident happened a long time ago, but Erin just kept reminding him of the girl.
"I can't pay you back. You can probably get anything you want, and I don't think you're interested in my body. Why are you doing this for me?" Erin sounded a bit anxious.
"You remind me of an old friend… That's the only reason why I'm doing this for you. Alright, don't think too much about it. We're getting closer to the Storm Lord's territory." Angele smiled, turned around, and left.
Erin stood behind Angele and bit her lips. Angele had no idea what she was thinking.
Three days later.
They entered the territory of the storm giants. The airship was moving to the right.
Some of the passengers decided to get off the airship here and walk to the west coast. Angele was one of them. He said goodbye to his roommates and got off the airship. He built a small tent in the forest and rested for a while.
Angele was not going to walk to the west coast. He wanted to visit the storm giants; they almost killed him when he was traveling to the central continent.
He waited half a day in front of the storm and found airship that went rogue. The airship was trying to travel through the storm, but Angele stopped them and threw all the bandits off the airship. He then headed to the center of the storm alone.
The center of the storm was a humongous gray tornado. It was smaller than the abyss tornado, however, it completely blocked the shortest path to the west coast.
Angele controlled the blue airship by himself and slowly headed to the gray tornado. He spent two days in the air and finally approached the tornado.The white clouds looked like cotton flowers on the ground. In their center, there was a gray tornado that was stirring the clouds around it.
On the left side of the tornado, a blue airship, whose surface reflected the golden sunlight, was moving toward it slowly.
A man in a long blue robe was standing on the deck with his hands on his back. He looked at the tornado quietly as the chilling wind blew his hair in the air.
The man's face was covered by a mask. His red eyes were exposed; he looked calm.
Splash*
There was blue lightning in the tornado, and tiny blue electric pulses were sparking around it. The blue electric pulses turned into blue electric orbs the size of a soccer ball each.
One of the electric orbs flew to the blue airship and charged at the man in a long robe.
PA*
With a flick of his finger, the electric orb exploded like a bubble and disappeared.
"An alert system?" The man took off the mask.
It was Angele. Strangely, his face was covered with tiny purple eyes. The eyes were all blinking—the scene was terrifying.
His body was covered with those pea-sized human eyes. They were like parasites attached to his skin. If he removed one of the eyes, two new eyes would appear and the circle would never end.

Angele raised his hands. The back of his hands was covered with eyes, which almost looked like purple scales. He clapped his hands slightly.
BAM BAM*
Two electric orbs exploded in the air and turned into two storm elementals. They had the upper bodies of human beings but the bottom halves of their bodies were dark clouds surrounded by electric pulses. They stared at Angele as they were forced to reveal themselves.
"How dare you, outsider! This is the territory of the Storm Giant!"
The other storm elemental was a female. She did not say a word, but she quickly created a purple electric orb.
"Die!"
She threw the electric orb toward Angele.
The electric orb exploded in midair far from Angele's body.
The two storm elementals were surprised. One of them took out a golden horn and blew it hard.
WOO*
The horn made a deep and long noise.
The clouds around the airship started boiling. Countless gray vortexes left the clouds and landed on the deck one after another. They then turned into storm elementals that looked like human beings, only that their hair was formed by electric pulses. The storm elementals jumped at Angele right away.
"In the name of the storm giant!"
The storm elementals' eyes turned red as they charged to Angele with electric pulses around their bodies.
Angele just stood on the deck, and was quickly surrounded by dozens of storm elementals.
"Again? So many years passed yet you are still doing the same thing… Do you even improve?"
PA*
With a flick of his finger, he released a lot of red lights, which quickly surrounded the storm elementals.
The storm elementals' bodies started smoking before they could move any further. Their bodies melted, and they could no longer speak. They quickly turned into piles of blue liquid on the deck, still sparking.
Angele stepped forward and turned two more elementals into liquid.
The rest of the storm elementals was surprised by the scene. They started retreating while screaming in a strange language. It seemed like they were trying to alert other storm elementals.
"Devil! You're the devil from the legend!"
"Shut up! We should let Mantis handle him! Inform the leader! We should try to stop him with the Thunderbolts!"
The storm elementals gathered and stared at Angele nervously. They knew that they should stay away from the red aura. The team was led by a male storm elemental, who was creating a purple thunderbolt in his hand.
"Who are you and why are you invading our territory? We have five million elemental giants here. It's not too late to leave." The leader knew that Angele was much stronger than them, so he sounded a bit weak.
"Me?" Angele smiled. "I was just passing by. You almost killed me when I was young, so I'm here to avenge myself. That's it."
"Mantis, why are you even talking to him? He's killing our friends, we should eliminate him as soon as possible!"
A lightning landed on the deck and turned into a girl with a cold expression on the face. The girl's hair looked different than that of others, it was blue and covered with purple electric pulses. Unlike the naked storm elementals, she was wearing purple armor.
Angele observed the girl carefully. She had an attractive face and a balanced body. Her legs were long and nice but there was no emotion in her eyes.
"You're too weak to kill me. I didn't expect to meet a storm elemental with the storm lord's bloodline so fast. I guess today is my lucky day."
Angele suddenly raised his right hand before finishing his words. He released some dark red waves, which quickly expanded to the whole airship. His right hand expanded like it was made of rubber.
One second later, his hand turned into over 100 hands. They all reached to the girl, trying to grab her.
The girl's expression changed.
"Arrogant bastard!"
She created a long electric pulse between her palms and threw it forward. The electric pulse expanded and charged at the hands, quickly destroying dozens of them; however, even more hands appeared.
"Move now! We need to help Master Sylva! Let's gather our power!" someone shouted.
The rest of the storm elementals finally realized what they should do and started throwing purple thunderbolts at Angele. The thunderbolts turned into a purple rain, blocking Angele's hands.
BOOM*
A ball of electric pulse exploded and blew all the storm elementals away. The empty airship was shaking; a large hole appeared on the deck, revealing the cabin.
The blue electric pulses turned into a ball with a diameter of ten meters. The ball swallowed the girl and slowly disappeared after about ten seconds.
Angele grabbed the girl's neck and lifted her up. She was struggling in Angele's hand, but there was nothing she could do.
"Your name is Sylva?"
The girl could not respond, but tried to release blue electric pulses using her body. The electric pulses hit Angele's hand, but they were all absorbed by the strange eyes on his skin.
The girl finally looked scared after she realized that Angele could easily block all her attacks.
"Inform the captain!" Mantis shouted, but the other storm elementals were all terrified. They just floated in the air and stared at Angele.
Countless blue boats appeared around Angele's airship. There were naked men standing on the blue boats, their hair all formed by electric pulses. It seemed like they were elites.
The strong storm elementals surrounded the airship and two of them stepped forward. It was a male and a female, they were both wearing purple armor.
It seemed like they did not expect to meet each other.
"You're fast," the man spoke in a cold tone.
"I thought I was the only one around." The woman sounded a bit disappointed.
Blue light flashed in the sky as they quickly teleported to the deck. They were only around ten meters away from Angele.
Angele dropped Sylva on the deck.
BAM*
Sylva groaned and started coughing like crazy. There were tears spurting out of her eyes.
Angele was not concerned. He quickly checked his surroundings.
"That's all you got?"
"What do you mean, outsider?" The man's brow furrowed.
Angele smiled, but he did not respond. He just stomped the deck.
BAM*
The whole airship was surrounded by a red glow. After the impact, the airship charged into the storm elementals' boats.
BAM BAM BAM*
The small boats were destroyed one by one; the storm elementals on the boats were also eliminated. Their bodies all melted into blue liquid after they were hit.
The airship cleared a path in the sky at full speed. Nothing could stop it; it looked like a red string traveling around the edge of the tornado.
WOO*
They blew the horn again.
"Stay!" A deep and loud voice echoed in the sky.
A humongous translucent blue hand reached out of the center of the tornado, moving toward Angele's airship. Although the hand was not moving at full speed, it easily blocked its path.
Angele was not surprised by the hand's appearance. He was excited.
"Finally, you came!"
The last time he encountered the blue hand, the airship was almost destroyed. He chose the same route this time because he wanted to battle the storm giant lord again.
Angele aimed at the hand and raised his own hand. An enormous black shadow appeared behind him, and a shadow claw stopped the blue hand.
KA*
The claw destroyed the blue hand, which quickly disappeared in the air. Angele could hear the owner of the hand groan.
"Rank 4… This thing lived for so long because of this Storm City…" Angele looked at the eye of the storm.
In the center of the tornado, there was a muscular man standing on a small blue boat. The man was holding a trident, his face pale. He noticed that Angele was staring at him and the energy waves released by Angele were familiar.
Suddenly, he realized that he encountered the same energy wave hundreds of years ago. The lord failed to stop that airship; this man was on the airship he'd attacked.
"It was you!" His voice echoed in the sky and he sounded surprised.
"I'm here to pay you back." Angele sneered and reached to the lord again. The large shadow claw behind him traveled to the lord within seconds; the lord could not move an inch due to a strong force that was dragging his body.
"Rank 5… A rank 5 wizard! No!" There was desperation in the storm giant lord's eyes.
"Help me! Lord!" he suddenly shouted, but he did not have the chance to say anything else.
KA*
With the light noise, the storm giant lord was cut in half, and the shadow claw slowly disappeared in the air. The dead body of the storm giant lord was blown away by the strong wind.
Angele lowered his right hand and glanced at the eye of the storm.
"It's over now."
He was strong enough to see that the Storm City was in the center of the tornado based on the radiation energy around the eye of the storm. It seemed like the Storm City helped the storm giants to live longer, however, the storm giants needed to stay in the city forever. They could only move around the tornado, but their life expectancy was greatly increased.

'That's why they keep others away from this area. However, they are so weak that it's nearly pointless to live for so long!' Angele glanced at the eye of the storm one final time and walked to Sylva.
"What're you trying to do?!" Sylva was scared, and tried to move away from Angele. However, Angele stepped on her ankle and stopped her from moving.
"Kid, don't provoke someone that is stronger than you the next time." Angele grabbed Sylva's neck and lifted her up like a chicken. He threw Sylva out of the airship and she quickly disappeared into the clouds.
Angele could hear Sylva screaming in the air.
The airship was traveling at full speed. The red light around its hull left a long trail in the air, and the airship quickly disappeared.
In the humongous eye of the storm, the gray tornado was still rotating slowly. A humongous face appeared around the tornado, formed by countless white clouds.
The face watched the airship leave the area and stared at the red trail it left behind. The face sighed and slowly disappeared into the eye of the storm.
"He's too strong. We should never bother him again." A calm male voice came from the eye of the storm.
The two captains that were still going after the airship heard those words and exchanged eye contact. They slowly stopped above the clouds with the storm elementals. They looked at the red trail and felt a bit confused.
"Well, it seems like the Lord thinks that the man is stronger than all of us…" the male captain spoke in a low voice.
The rest of the storm elementals remained silent; they were holding their fists so tight that their nails almost stabbed into their palms. The atmosphere here was heavy.
"Retreat!" The female captain waved her hand and returned to the eye of the storm.Several days later.
A group of three-headed eagles was surrounded by red light. They were burnt black and started falling like dumplings. Hundreds of eagles died within seconds, and the rest of them was trying to escape.
In the blue airship, Angele gathered the red glow and glanced at the eagles. He stepped forward and the airship changed the direction.Several more days passed.
A blue airship that was traveling at full speed passed by a brown airship.
The snake lizards around the brown airship were quickly eliminated by the red glow around the blue airship. They were burnt black and their dead bodies started falling.
The apprentices and the knights on the deck of the brown airship were still fighting the snake lizards when the red glow killed the snake lizards. They were confused and had no idea what'd just happened.
An old woman with a long staff in hands looked at the leaving blue airship and bowed to it slightly.
She cast a spell and looked at the airship. However, she only saw that it was a man in a purple long robe who just saved them.Angele traveled at full speed in the next ten days. He did not stop for one second. With his power, the speed of the airship was increasing constantly.
Angele's true form had the same power as a rank 8 wizard; however, with the power from the mark on his back, the power of his true form was increasing like crazy. It almost seemed like there was no limitation.
A top-level rank 8 wizard was just one step away from becoming an ancestor. However, increasing his power alone would not help him break through the limit as that was not the only requirement for someone to become an ancestor. Ancestors represented endless power and the origins of the realms.
The power of his refined true form might break the barrier if he decided to keep all the power inside his body, so he decided to release some of his power naturally. The realm power would help him weaken the extra power he released—that was how he kept the balance.
Angele knew that he would be able to utilize his rank 8 power without the barrier one day. However, he had the feeling that he needed to restrict the power of his true form. Angele doubted if his current physical form and soul could handle the terrifying power.
He would release as much power as possible when he had the chance, so he eliminated any mutated creatures or threats he encountered on the way. The high-temperature field of the Son of Sun was extremely helpful.
The high-temperature field would consume a lot of energy if he increased the range and temperature field of the aura to a certain level. The high energy consumption helped him slow down the growth of his true form.
Several days passed again.
Angele overlooked the area below and finally found the Gem Sea. The Gem Sea was nice and blue, it looked like a large piece of sapphire reflecting the intense sunlight.
Angele looked at the sea; there were mixed emotions going through his mind. He tapped on the deck and the airship started moving to the landing area of the west coast.
"Finally… I'm back…"Somewhere in the Gem Sea.
There were three humongous dead bodies of horned whales floating on the water. The fresh blood almost turned the whole area red.
A tall man with a translucent body was standing on top of a dead whale's horn.
The man's eyes were closed and there was a gray corona floating behind his back. The strange needle on the corona released a small ball of black shadow, which was pointing at the sky.
Suddenly, the shadow ball started rotating at full speed and made some strange noises. The needle started spinning as well. Several seconds later, the needle suddenly stopped and pointed to the northwest.
The man opened his eyes and his blue pupils retracted slightly.
"Finally, the man who took the key from me returned…"
More than ten small faces appeared on his face. Their ages and gender varied.
"We noticed that too… The one who took the Shadow Key from us…"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
"I'm so hungry…"
"Take the key back so we can control the hourglass!"
"Time will prove that you're wrong!"
The faces were shouting and yelling. They were just saying random things. Some of them sounded crazy, some of the sounded angry, and some of them sounded anxious.
"Enough…" the man spoke in a light tone. "Time has proven that I'm correct. Can't you feel my power? I'm much stronger than before. This is the power of the time!"
The human faces slowly disappeared from the man's face and everything returned to normal.
"Time has proven that I'm correct. I'll never be wrong…" He glanced at the area on the right.
CHI*
His body suddenly disappeared into the sky. It almost felt like he had never been here.
About half an hour later.
On the right side of the horned whales, two middle-aged men suddenly appeared on the water, both wearing black robes. They looked scared.
"Finally, they're gone. I'm glad that he didn't notice us. This crazy bastard is from the east. I wonder why he's here," one of them spoke in a low voice.
"I don't know… He's from the Axis of Time, and most of their members are bloodsucking monsters. These wizards are crazy and no one knows what they want," the other man responded.
"However, it seems like he's heading to the west. Don't tell me he's going back to the land…"
"If he really goes to the land, it'll be a big problem. I think he can destroy the west coast just by himself."
Worried, they exchanged eye contact.In the Gem Sea.
A blue airship was falling from the sky above the sea and quickly hit the surface of the water hard.
BAM*
The airship was more than 100 meters long, and created a lot of white waves. The water was blown into the air and splashed everywhere. It felt like rain.
The front of the airship was already in the water, and the airship was sinking slowly. Angele was wearing a long purple robe and his face was covered by a purple mask; only his red eyes were exposed to the air. He was standing on the deck.
Angele leaped forward and floated in the air. He quickly drew several runes in the sky using the right hand.
"Abis!" he chanted an incantation and stopped his body from falling. "Abis" meant "Float" in the universal language.
Angele lowered his head and glanced at the sinking airship. He then turned to the left and looked at the golden beach with coconut trees on it.
He leaned forward and started flying to the beach. It took him about half a minute to land on the beach.
"Where am I? I traveled too fast; I think I missed the normal parking area."
Raising his hand, he slowly drew a red circle in the air. Two patterns that looked like the sun and the moon flashed in the circle. After the patterns disappeared, a translucent face of an old man appeared.
"I haven't cast normal spells in a while… It's just like the old days…" Angele looked at the face and pursed his lips in a smile. It was a normal spell that could guide him in the correct direction. It was a spirit created with the nearby mud and water. He just needed to ask questions, and they would be answered right away.
"Where's the Ramsoda Empire?" Angele questioned in a light voice.
The old man hesitated for a second and responded, "The ships that passed by all headed in that direction."
The old man looked at the coconut trees on the right.
"Understood."
Angele waved his hand and the translucent face quickly disappeared.
"If the entrance is at the Ramsoda school. I just need to reach the Ramsoda Empire. Also, I should visit the city. Timos and that little girl passed away years ago, but I wonder if their families are still around…"
Angele shook his head and chuckled.
"Why I'm thinking about all my old friends suddenly?" He leaped into the air and disappeared into a ball of flames. It was the elemental teleportation. He traveled hundreds of meters within seconds and entered the coconut forest.

Chapter 608: The Past (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
In the coconut forest by the beach, there were two group of knights wearing different uniforms that were fighting against each other.
Clank*
The metal weapons and the arrows were making noises constantly. The knights in white uniforms had the advantage—the knights in black uniforms were losing the battle.
Strangely, the knights in black uniforms had not given up yet. They were trying their best to protect a man with red hair that was standing behind them, however, they were losing their members every minute.
One of the knights in black uniforms had a long beard and his body was surrounded by a white glow. He held the scimitar and the shield in hand tight while shouting.
"Run! Mike!" He failed to block an attack and his back was hit. The wound was coated by a thin blue glow. It seemed like the weapons used by the white uniforms were poisoned.
"Someone ahead will help you! Go now!" the man shouted again.
The man with red hair glanced at the man with a long beard for the one last time and started running. They had already repeated this process multiple times and traveled all the way to here from the Labyrinth School. He just wanted to make sure that he could bring the item in his arms back safely. It was the only valuable item he had, and he needed to trade it for the medicine that would help his family members.
Five of their family knights sacrificed themselves on the way; the man with a long beard was his best friend.
The man with red hair tried his best not to cry as he held the black pouch in his arms tightly. He turned around and started running to the forest.
"Stop him!"
The white uniforms quickly noticed what he was trying to do.
The man with red hair just kept running; he'd already cast a speed spell on his legs, however, the effect was running out.
'Our family gathered all the knights and apprentices for this mission. We must bring this thing back!' This was the only thought in his mind.
The trees around him were moving backward in his sight. There was a woman with clean skin who was wearing a tight suit waiting for him in the forest ahead. She was holding two scimitars in her hands. Her long silver hair trailed over her shoulders and her blue eyes were glowing slightly. It seemed like her eyes were modified by spells.
The man with red hair sighed with relief. He threw the black pouch to the woman and fell to the ground.
"You did a great job." The woman caught the pouch and was about to leave. However, she suddenly turned around and stared at the bush before she started walking.
A man in a long purple robe was standing by a coconut tree behind the bush quietly. The man's face was covered by a mask. He was only about ten meters away from the two, surrounded by a strange aura.
The woman had no idea when the man approached them. She was a rank 3 apprentice and a formal knight. She assumed that she could detect the threats around her, however, she did not notice that man at all.
"Who're you?" she questioned in a low voice.
"I only have a simple question." Most of the man's face was covered but his voice was clear. "Do you know the way to the Ramsoda Empire?"
"Ramsoda? This is the Six-Ring High Tower's territory. You need to head to the southeast if you want to go to Ramsoda," the woman responded in a calm tone. It seemed like she was not worried about the white uniforms who were looking for them.
"Much appreciated." The man nodded and turned around.
He suddenly stopped and looked at the woman in black.
"These energy waves…"
The woman's expression changed. She quickly turned around and looked to the side. A team of white uniforms appeared, and they quickly noticed her presence.
"Hurry! We found them!"
"Inform Master Fin now!"
The white uniforms charged to them and surrounded the area. They also blocked the way of the man in a purple robe.
"Labyrinth… They were the ones who put a prize on my head…" the man suddenly spoke in a cold tone. "Alright, you told me the way to Ramsoda; I'll pay you back now."
Raising his right hand, he pressed down.
BAM*
The ground under the white uniforms' feet collapsed and turned into black tentacles. The tentacles grabbed their feet while they were screaming.
The woman was surprised, she quickly checked the surroundings and noticed that all the white uniforms were dragged into the ground. The woman and the man with red hair were the only two left.
The man in a purple robe already disappeared into the deep forest.
Angele figured out the correct direction and thought for a while. He decided to visit the Six-Ring High Tower first and see how Isabel was doing.
He changed the direction slightly and started teleporting to the destination.Several weeks later.
Somewhere in the Six-Ring High Tower's territory.
It was raining. A ray of red light appeared above the endless forest and small lakes that varied in shape, then rotated around the area and slowly landed by a lake. A man in a long purple robe appeared after the red light faded away. It was Angele, who did not rest for one second while traveling.
Angele raised his head and looked at the tall white towers. There were wizards flying in the sky.
'It has been years, but their defensive system didn't change at all…'
Shaking his head, Angele stopped looking. He started heading to the forest in the front.
Some metal fences appeared ahead and there was an iron gate in the front. A sign was standing by the iron gate; the engraving on the sign said "Isabel".
Angele inhaled deeply; the chilling air was quite refreshing. He walked to the iron gate slowly and knocked on it several times.
Knock Knock*
The iron gate made some strange noises. Blue light flashed on the iron gate, and Angele heard a female voice coming from the gate.
"This is Isabel Family's territory. Who're you and why are you here?"
"I'm here to visit Miss Golan Isabel. I'm her mother's student and I'm here to talk to my teacher." Angele already did his research before he got here.
After Isabel left her family, the war against the merfolk started. A lot of wizard organizations lost many wizards during the war—like Isabel's grandmother, who died in the battle. Isabel's family was almost eliminated. She decided to return to the family and rebuild everything. Several hundred years later, she renamed the family as Isabel Family as she was the one who contributed the most.
She took many apprentices into the family and single-handedly rebuilt it. She passed away after her lover from the White Tooth Castle died. Isabel selected one of her cousins to be the leader of the family before she passed away.
Angele visited Isabel Family because he wanted to see the last thing Isabel left to this world.
"Miss Isabel's student, you must be a formal wizard. Please wait here. I'll inform Miss Lina now."
The blue light faded away as the woman finished her words.
Angele was not in a hurry. He just stood there and waited quietly.
Several minutes later, a light energy wave scanned his body, and the iron gate opened. An old woman with messy white hair was standing behind the gate with a cane in hand. She was observing Angele carefully.
"I'm sorry. I think I know most of my students, but for some reason…" the old woman looked confused.
"I look familiar but you don't know my name?" Angele smiled; the invisible energy waves he released were affecting all the creatures in the area.
"Yeah. I'm sorry. My mother has too many students, so… I'm getting old and I'm forgetting things. Please follow me. I live here alone." The old woman stepped to the side and waited.
"I could be a bandit, you know." Angele chuckled slightly.
"There's nothing valuable here. Also, you don't seem like a young man based on the energy waves you're releasing, and you have the mentality of a strong formal wizard. If you really want to break in, there'll be nothing I can do." The old woman was supported by a maid in a white suit. They slowly walked down the stone plated path and headed to the white buildings ahead.
It was raining, but the old woman's clothes were not wet at all.
Angele followed after her and the iron gate behind slowly closed.
"May I pay my respect to Miss Isabel?" He lowered his voice and went straight to the point. "I've been traveling for years and I'm sad that I didn't have the chance to talk to her before she passed away. I returned to this place because I want to give my condolences."
"Of course. Many of her students visited this place. You're probably hundreds of years old if I'm not mistaken. You can just call me Golan if you want." The old woman smiled.
"Sure. Golan, did the teacher say anything to you before she passed away? Did she have any last wishes?" Angele asked as he walked.
"She didn't have many friends when she was alive. Her best friend was exploring the world when she passed away. Her last wish was to see her best friend again. Sadly, we failed to find her best friend while she was still alive." Golan shook her head.
Angele felt a bit depressed. Isabel's last wish was probably to talk to him again.
He sighed with mixed emotions and stopped talking. He just followed after Golan and the maid quietly. They walked to a small patio behind the buildings.
The patio was surrounded by a dark fence, and there was a small gray house in front of it. There was a garden with fragrant white flowers inside on the right.
There were only some grapes on the left; the vines were quite strong. Angele could see the tiny green grapes on the vines.
"This was the last home of Miss Isabel. You can have a look." Golan opened unlocked the entrance and stepped to the side.
Angele glanced at Golan, nodded, and stepped into the patio.
