Chapter 533: Settle (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Hikari took a deep breath and questioned in a light tone, "Did you just say that… you were going to leave the central continent?"
She was trying her best to calm down.
"Yeah. I'm leaving soon." Angele nodded. "I had trouble locating you guys during the war. I didn't expect to actually meet you here. I just found the energy waves released by your communication rune."
"Are you going for the resources and magic devices in the red mist as well?" Hikari wondered.
Angele was a bit surprised, he looked at Hikari and realized that the woman had not improved a lot since they last met.
The broken magic devices and random resources in the red mist area did not catch his attention. It would be a great waste of time if he had to pick those things up from the ground, however, for Hikari, they were treasures.
"Yeah… I'm trying to see if there's a magic device that I can use." He decided to change the way he talked to Hikari since he wanted Hikari to think that they were just friends. Angele wanted to show his respect, so he would not offer Hikari anything if she did not ask.
It seemed like Hikari advanced to rank 3 not so long ago and her mentality wave was relatively unstable. Angele knew that if he revealed his true power, Hikari would never look at him the same way she used to.
Angele stared the woman in the eyes and he felt a bit speechless.
'Maybe… it has already changed…'
Angele noticed the fear and respect in Hikari's eyes; it was obvious.
"If you do find something, I have rare herbs here that you might be interested in, like rune grasses, crystal bananas, and other rare herbs… You're much stronger than before but we're both potion masters and you might need them. Can you trade with me first after you leave the mist?" Hikari spoke in a shaky tone.
"Of course." Angele smiled. He would not tell Hikari that he had tons of rare herbs like rune grasses or crystal bananas. He had plenty stored in the mirror and could use them for years.
They stopped talking about resources. They stood next to each other and told each other their recent findings. Angele decided to leave about one hour later.
"I'm heading to the mist now. I'll meet you later."
"Sure, take care."
Angele turned around and stepped out of the forest, heading to the red mist on the other side but he could still feel that Hikari was staring at him.
A real friend should be someone that treated you like you treated him. Angele did not mind if Hikari wanted something from him, however, he did not want to make Hikari feel bad for the difference of their power level.
Wizards all had their own pride. It could be disrespectful if you decided to offer help before your friend asked for help. One might want to fight his way to the top instead of asking for help or taking advantage of the friends he had.
Angele left the forest. He looked at the tall mist wall and started thinking.
Without any hesitation, he jumped off the cliff. A blue staircase appeared under his feet and led him straight to the other side of the fissure.
He walked to the other side of the fissure using the staircase. Some red mist moved to his body and covered the energy waves he was releasing.
Angele did not stop, he walked into the red mist and quickly disappeared.
The sky was dark-red; he could see a mouth-shaped crack floating in the sky. The land was also dark-red; that was the only color here.
It felt like the world behind the red mist was painted in blood. The red snowflakes were falling down the sky and leaning to the left in the wind.
The place was deadly silent, there was no creature making any noise.
*KA*
Angele stepped forward and left a hole on the ground. It felt like that he stepped on something hard.
*PA*
He removed the snow and finally saw what was under his feet.
It was the upper body of a male corpse. It seemed like a beast bit part of his body off; blood and broken pieces of bones were frozen under the snow.
Angele's brow furrowed, he glanced around but did not find any moving things.
He jumped up and floated in the sky. He decided to fly to the center of Rayton Highland.
*WOO*
Strong wind was blowing over his face; the forest below him was mostly burnt black. There were no dead bodies in Angele's sight—he wondered if all the bodies were buried under the snow.
Angele took out a white skull as he flew and tapped on it lightly.
Green flames appeared in the eyes of the skull.
Bone's voice came from the skull. "Phoenix, you're back? We kept our promises, so the five legions that entered this world are now sleeping under the snow."
"Those are your legions and I don't really care how you manage them. There's one thing I still need to mention, don't kill the residents of the wizard world unless they attack you first when you're raiding," Angele responded.
"The first legion that entered this world had low intelligence and it's now under our control. I promise you that there'll be no more pleasure killing. Also, we're prepared. When will you meet us? I think you want to collect all the negative emotions in this world, right?" Bone chuckled.
"It depends, I have something else to take care off. Just do as you planned."
"The problem is, the Fairy Realm is trying to seal the realm channel; why don't you come and help us? We already know their coordinates, we can just break through the channel since it'll take some time for them to change the coordinates," Bone said.
"With the special ability of Lord of Terror, we can save a lot of effort." A gentle female voice came from the skull.
"Spider is here too? I assume you've finished off the last realm you visited?" Angele thought that it would take them a while to get everything done.
"Yeah, the members of my sect will take care of the rest. We collected a lot of souls. I think Eye Devil should be happy. We're working much harder than you." Spider was a bit helpless.
Angele smiled but remained silent. Raising his head, he looked at the sky; there was a large floating island that was built with bones there. On the island, there was a white palace with translucent souls rotating around it.
The souls looked like naked women with bone wings on their backs and the song they were singing sounded like people crying.
Angele lowered the skull and fully released his mentality waves.
Light black smoke appeared around his body naturally. There were white human faces flying in the smoke. The faces were screaming and crying. The female souls around the palace were scared by the faces in the smoke and started moving away.
Angele flew to the bone palace in the snow and slowly landed on an empty ground in front of the castle.
The bone palace was a couple hundred meters wide and around one thousand meters tall. It was built with just white bones.
The patterns on the main gate looked like two white skeletons. One of them was on the right and the other was on the left; there were green flames burning in the skeletons' eyes.
*Crank*
The door slowly opened, revealing the spacious dark hall inside.
Bone and Spider were naked. They were lying on their chairs as four naked human beings were giving them massages.
The two human beings around Bone were female and the two human beings around Spider were male. They were all good at massaging and had attractive appearances.
Bone moaned and opened his mouth to speak, "Phoenix… Why don't you give it a try? This'll be the best massage you've ever had. Eye Devil visits me just for this."
"I'll pass, I don't like massage." Angele stepped into the hall and the gate behind him closed automatically.
The human beings glanced at Angele curiously, it seemed like they wanted to know what was going on.
"Come on… I thought you were preparing to break the seal based on what you said and you're just lying here, enjoying the massage." Angele walked to Bone and crossed his arms.
"We have you, Lord of Terror, I think you can break the seal with the correct coordinates easily. There's nothing we need to do." Bone chuckled. "Spider and I fought for two whole days. We're still weak and need a massage."
"Where are the other ones? Who's the commander?"
"Vapor. He's excited for some reason, so we made him the commander," Spider interrupted.
Angele turned to Spider and looked at her body. He was just curious.
There were countless green crystals on Spider's face, they looked like tiny eyes. The six black bone spikes on her back were shortened but they looked more detailed than before.
Her breasts looked identical to a human being's, but larger.
However, Angele could not see her genitals.
He glanced at Spider's body and his sight fell upon her stomach. That was the only place that was covered by a piece of silver cloth.
"What are you looking at?" Spider chuckled. "My body is still aching, but we can have some fun the next time we meet if you want." The green eyes on her face were blinking and it made Angele a bit uncomfortable.
Angele noticed that there were tiny green spiders crawling out of that piece of silver cloth. The spiders had the size of a fingernail and quickly moved to the corner of the hall.
"I'll pass… Well, we're different, you know…" Angele stopped looking immediately. "Alright, just hurry up. I have something else to take care of just like I said. One more thing, Bone, the thing prepared wasn't activated. I'll probably use that when we're in the Fairy Realm."
"Whatever. I've gifted you that, use it when you need it. Also, we're just waiting for the commander's order and we're not in a hurry." Bone pushed the woman's hands away and stood up. "However, I don't think that guy will keep the promise."
"I understand, but send my word to him. I have my bottom line and I hope everything will end peacefully," Angele responded in a light tone.
"Sure."
"Alright then, I'll be leaving now. Where are the captured creatures of Rayton Highland?" Angele turned around and walked to the gate.
Bone yawned and replied, "The underground area below the palace. Go down there and you'll find out."
