Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Angele was her son and so decided not to think too much about Vivian's virginity.
He recreated his body by the entrance of the stone pillar. Angele rearranged his long robe and slowly walked down the spiral staircase.
The entrance to the basement of the stone pillar was by the end of the staircase. Turin and Becky walked down the staircase as well.
"How's the situation?"
"The man is a son of Prince Evil Dragon, his arms and legs were cut off. The man's eyes, nose, and tongue were all removed. He's still alive because he's a wizard," Turin responded. "How should we handle him?"
Angele hesitated, he was surprised by what he just heard.
"Prince Evil Dragon is really treating me seriously… He did me a great favor…" Angele reached the end of the staircase before he finished these words. There was a black wooden door in front of him.
The basement was dark, the only source of light was from the burning torches on the walls.
There was a large glass bottle in the basement. Inside the glass bottle, there was a man without limbs. The bottle was almost filled up with water and the man could barely breathe as only his head was above the water.
Also, there were several armored women in the corner of the basement; they looked weak and helpless.
Angele loosened his collar and stepped into the room. He stopped by the glass bottle and observed the man inside carefully.
The man barely had any hair left on his body. He looked like a snowman without limbs due to his pale skin. The man displayed no reaction as Angele approached him, he was just breathing.
"He's the one you were looking for, Valla. He lied to Elder Vivian and earned her trust with a fake message," Turin explained.
Angele's eyes were slightly red and he stared at Valla for a while.
"Prince Evil Dragon already punished the man for me. I don't think there's a point for me to kill him," he spoke in a light tone. Angele shook his head slightly and walked to the corner.
"They helped Valla to capture Vivian," Turin quickly introduced. "Prince said that you can do whatever you want to them."
Angele remained silent.
*CHI*
His long red hair grew and stabbed into their foreheads accurately. Only one of them was left alive.
Their eyes widened after their foreheads were pierced and looked soulless.
*CHI*
Their souls were pulled out of their bodies by the hair, which absorbed the souls quickly.
Angele finished them off and glanced at the man in the glass bottle. "You, eat this thing in the glass bottle."
He looked at the last survivor, it was a girl in a white dress.
It seemed like the girl was so scared that she could barely think straight. The woman looked at Angele and looked at the man in the glass bottle.
"Will you let me live?" she asked in a hoarse and shaky tone.
"Well, if you can finish it all…" A cruel smile appeared on Angele's face. He pointed at the glass bottle and a ray of green light illuminated the man. "Go now, you won't be able to leave the basement before you finish all of him."
The girl looked at the man in the glass bottle with a pair of soulless eyes. The basement remained silent after Angele finished his words.
Turin and Becky scrunched their brows, however, they decided not to say anything regarding Angele's order.
The girl hesitated for a while, stood up, and slowly walked to the glass bottle.
Angele was still smiling. He pointed at the girl and released some black smoke into the girl's ears.
"I gave you sharp nails and teeth, don't waste anything." He turned around and stepped out of the basement.
Turin and Becky followed after him, the last thing they heard was the girl chewing the man like crazy. It almost sounded like a beast having its dinner.
They suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the basement when they arrived at the exit of the stone pillar. It sounded like something exploded.
"Becky, send someone to clean the basement and see if anyone is still alive." Angele stopped and said, "Turin, I'll be leaving the central continent so the war won't bother me anymore. What's your next plan?"
Turin heard the question, but he waited for Becky to leave before answering. He thought for a while and responded, "I'm no longer a wanted criminal due to the war. I wanted to live a peaceful life and that's why I followed you. I'll leave the area with you."
"I want you to stay with Vivian, will that be fine?" Angele suddenly asked.
Turin hesitated and responded, "I'm sorry, leader. I'm afraid that I can't join the Elemental Hand due to my past…"
Angele knew what Turin was implying and nodded his head. Turin killed his relatives and teacher by accident, so he did not want to join another organization. The incident almost made him mentally ill. Although Turin was better when compared to Victoria, he was still a crazy man that was being impacted by negative emotions all the time.
"You don't have to join the Elemental Hand, just stay with Vivian and protect her."
"I can do that, but there's something I have to take care of before leaving the central continent. Is that fine?" Turin replied.
"I'll give you a month," Angele agreed. "Let me know if you need help."
"Thank you, leader." Turin stepped back, turned around, and left the stone pillar. He walked to the plain and quickly disappeared into the grass.
Angele tightened his robe and stepped out of the stone pillar as well.
It was quiet outside and there were barely any people around. He could still hear gentle music played by a harp. It almost sounded like a woman crying.
Becky walked out of a stone pillar on the left with several maids and moved to Angele. The maids entered the stone pillar and quickly walked down the stairs.
"What are going to do to me? Just tell me," Becky spoke in a low voice. "I can't return to the Dark Wizard Tower and the alliance will torture me for intel. I can only follow you or find a remote area to live."
"For real? Find a remote area?" Angele mocked at her as he saw several white robes walking out of a stone pillar. The wizards were saying goodbye to each other, they hugged and started whispering.
Angele had mixed emotions after seeing the familiar scene. For some reason, he wanted to sigh deeply and could barely hear what Becky was saying.
He thought of his father and the moment he left the school. Angele felt a bit sad and lonely as he recalled the days he had on the hot balloon.
Becky was still waiting for Angele for an answer. The armored woman had long black hair and a cold expression on the face. The woman was attractive and behaved like a noble woman. If she did not talk, people would consider her as one of the most beautiful women they had ever seen. Becky was strong and confident, she looked like a female knight that was good at swordplay.
Becky was also a unique female wizard; she was different.
The tight white armor revealed Becky's balanced body.
"I just realized that you're an attractive woman." Angele smiled. "You're lucky that I'm not a wizard who behaves like a thirsty beast. Think about it, you should be grateful."
"I'd rather be captured by a thirsty beast," Becky responded in a cold tone. "Just tell me. When will you let me go? I don't want to stay around you anymore!"
"Take off your concept gear and give it to you. I'll let you go," Angele quickly replied.
"It's impossible. Concept gear is not a shirt. You can't just put it on or take it off whenever you want to. The concept gear will disappear and you won't be able to get it even if you kill me," Becky mocked.
Angele remained silent, but the smile was still on his face.
One of the two white robes flew toward the plain and disappeared by the horizon quickly.
"How old are you, Becky?" he suddenly asked.
"Don't you know that it's impolite to ask a lady's age?"
"Got it, 131 years old, right? You're young…" Angele checked Becky's memory using his mentality wave.
"Not again… Why do you have to do this?!" Becky's face turned red.
"Alright, let me see how long you can live under normal circumstances…" Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes.
He quickly scanned by Becky's body.
"You body is energetic and healthy after I removed the restriction. You can live for around 500 years more… Alright, go ahead and do whatever you want. I have some things to take care of."
Angele finished the word and walked to the center of the stone pillar forest, he was not concerned that Becky was enraged.
"Bastard!" Becky shouted.
The tallest stone pillar was sitting in the center of the stone pillar forest, its height double a normal stone pillar's; it was quite eye-catching.
Angele checked Becky's life expectancy.
A normal rank 4 wizard could live up to 800 years; even the injured ones could live for around 500 years. Angele was not sure about the life expectancy of wizards at higher ranks, however, he knew how long he could live, and he had the same power level of a rank 8 wizard.
The weakest rank 8 creatures could live for around one hundred thousand years and stronger rank 8 creatures could live for around six hundred thousand years or even one million years.
The only way to increase one's life expectancy was to increase one's power level. The special techniques used by wizard families could only increase one's life expectancy by around 30 to 40 years, however, his body would rot if he could not strengthen his soul.
Angele was worrying about Vivian. She had already lived for a couple hundred years and Angele was not sure when she would pass away.
