Whatever!
Becky turned her head around and closed her eyes.
Angele checked the surroundings, the golden vines above the clouds were melting and the golden liquid was dripping into the clouds.
Most of the vines melted when Angele was talking with Becky.
Angele took out a black robe from the mirror and threw it to Becky.
Put this on so that Alice will not recognize you. Let’s go.
Angele moved toward the clouds; it looked like he was walking on an invisible staircase that was surrounded by white clouds.
I’ve never traveled through a sea of clouds.
Angele looked at Becky, she just put on the black robe.
How do you like it?
He was happy after he absorbed a quality soul.
Are you dumb?
Becky responded in a cold tone.
Angele was not concerned; they increased their speed.
Alright, we need to move as fast as we can. Also, I might still need your help later.
Becky remained silent.
They drew two black lines in the sea of white clouds and, rushing to the enormous vine.
On top of the green vine.
The platform was a mess, there were burnt marks and ice shards everywhere; however, the place was empty. The platform almost looked like a piece of cracked emerald.
The platform was surrounded by white glow and golden sunlight illuminated its surface, reflecting green light.
Two black lines flew to the platform from the left, they landed on the platform and turned into two black robes.
I knew it. No one is here.
Angele glanced around; the place was deadly silent.
However, the stone pillar was nowhere to found. It seemed like someone took it away and only a hole was left on the ground.
Angele walked to the hole and raised his left arm. He rolled his sleeve up and revealed the five scorpion patterns.
CHI
A ray of red light flashed in the air and sank into the patterns quickly.
Several more rays of red light flashed in the air, they were sinking into the patterns.
Two more patterns were filled up—he just needed one more.
Angele was collecting the souls of the dead wizards. The last soul entered the last pattern, but only a small part of the pattern started glowing.
Not bad.
Angele was satisfied with the number of strong souls here. He looked at the east and said,
Alright, let’s head to the battlefield,
You know Legion Commander Alice is there, right?
Becky questioned.
I need more souls for my creation. I have a general idea of what they’re planning now.
Angele took out a palm-sized mirror and tapped on it.
DING
The surface of the mirror cracked with a noise. The cracks looked like a spider web that was moving to the east.
Angele observed the cracks carefully and scrunched his brow.
Mirror Prediction? Well, it seems like something unfortunate will happen if you go to the east.
Becky chuckled.
They’ll know that you killed Anchura sooner or later and you’ll be in trouble.
Let’s go,
Angele said. He turned around and flew to the east.
Angele was not absorbing the souls during the battle because he did not want the other wizards to find out. That was the reason why he chose to absorb the souls after the battle ended.
If the battle between the alliance and the Dark Wizard was intense, he would be able to absorb more souls since more wizards would die. If one side was much stronger than the other, the battle would end quickly and he would not be able to collect too many souls.
Currently, the Dark Wizard Tower had the advantage.
They flew east at full speed while hiding in the sea of clouds.
Ten minutes later, Angele heard something roaring and exploding ahead.
His expression changed and he stopped moving. He quickly put up a barrier in the front.
The barrier absorbed the remaining energy waves and disappeared. His black robe was wet due to the clouds.
Don’t move,
he muttered and overlooked the area on the front carefully.
He saw two humongous creatures fighting.
The one on the left was a large eyeball created by blue electric pulses. The blue electric pulses formed electric tentacles that attacking the enemy.
The one on the right was a deer with a human head; the deer was white and it was more than ten meters tall. White frost was dropping down the deer’s body and the human head looked like it was from a young human being.
The frost rays released by the deer were fighting the electric pulses released by the eyeball. The noise they made sounded like rumbling thunder.
Angele and Becky hid in the clouds. The energy waves in the sky were so strong that no one was paying attention to the clouds.
‘It’s Fiona’s energy waves… She’s probably the one who released this eyeball. The deer is releasing mixed energy waves. It doesn’t seem like the deer was summoned by just one wizard,’ Angele thought.
Through the chaotic electric pulses and frost rays, Angele noticed that there were several gray robes with pale faces observing the battlefield from the far side. There were several black robes floating around them; Angele was not sure if they were killed or just unconscious.
The battle is ending. We can approach them without being detected and finish them off.
Angele sent these words to Becky using energy particles.
I think you know Alice’s personality, although you’re a member of the Dark Wizard Tower, she’ll still kill you without asking any questions. We need to weaken the Dark Wizard Tower so that alliance will have a chance to win.
Becky was a bit disappointed, but she still nodded.
They’re all strong wizards like me, what’ll you do?
Let’s take out the gray robes first. We can backstab them when the time is right. The deer will be distracted even if we fail; it’ll be slowed down and its abilities weakened.
Angele came up with a plan. They moved to the left and tried to approach the gray robes from behind.
It took them about half an hour to go around the battlefield.
The gray robes were focusing on the battlefield and one of them was chanting an incantation. It seemed like the old man was preparing a strong spell.
Angele was a bit surprised when he saw the black robes that were floating in the air. The black robes were in Angele’s group.
He was a bit surprised. He saw Miray, Mira, Aria, Justin, Monteria, and a female wizard that he did not know.
Those wizards were still breathing, it seemed like they were still alive but could not move.
The wizards opened their eyes as Angele approached them. They were floating behind the gray robes and could see the white clouds.
The wizards noticed that Angele and Becky were moving to them.
They were a bit surprised but looked excited.
Help us! This is just a Force Prison!
Mira sent a message to Angele using the communication rune.
Miray, Aria, and I can release a strong spell, but you need to help us to get out first!
Wait, Green, help us first!
Here! Release us from the Force Prison!
Justin and Aria were also talking to him using energy particles.
The wizards all looked at Angele since he was their only hope.
‘Force Prison? It’s a simple spell, but it’s hard to deal with. Without the energy code, the energy pulse will damage my body if I try to break it using pure power.’ Angele checked the information in the database and his brow furrowed.
Should we help them first?
Becky sent the question through energy particles.
Angele shook his head slowly.
No, we need to finish our thing first.
He slowly moved past the wizards and a black scorpion sign appeared between his brow.
Angele and Becky were hiding behind the illusions Angele created. Also, they were still behind the clouds.
Damn! Are you stupid? Do you really think you can backstab them?
Aria got impatient after she noticed that Angele was not going to help them first.
Miray and Mira remained silent. Angele could see the desperation in Justin and Monteria’s eyes. It seemed like they had given up.
How stupid can you be?! Damn it! Damn it! We’re stronger than you, but we were still captured by the enemy…
Aria started cursing; she did not sound like a noble woman at all, and fear was written all over her face. It seemed like she was upset about losing the battle.
The gray robes are protected by at least three divine shields and I don’t think you can backstab them…
Mira heard some noise before she finished her words.
Angele slowly pulled his right hand out of a gray robe’s body, blood dripping down his palm.
Mira remained silent, she could not believe what she just saw. She was wondering how Angele broke through the three barriers like nothing.
The wizards lost the battle because the enemies had strong defensive barriers. Each of the divine shields could only be broken through by attacks with over 1000 degrees damage. There were three shields and they could block over 3000 degrees of damage.
Mira looked at the blood on Angele’s palm and the gray robe that fell to the ground.
‘Maybe the gray robe was careless…’ Mira assumed.
The rest of the wizards were also surprised because Angele killed a gray robe like killing a chicken.
Becky was trying to do the same thing, however, she only broke through two divine barriers, and the gray robe turned around quickly. He tried to cut Becky’s head off.
Angele quickly moved to the gray robe and broke through the last barrier, hitting the gray robe in the head.
CHI
The gray robe’s head was cut in half and his brain splashed in the air.
