Angele crossed his arms and looked at the terrifying scene in the city.
“A refined version of Hand of Wizard… I guess they can’t even handle that…”
“Demon! You’re a demon!” the female elf shouted as her face turned pale. “There were over 300 thousand people in the city! Have you lost your mind?!”
Angele glanced at the woman.
“This could’ve ended peacefully. Also, I only killed around ten thousand people. Don’t worry.”
Finally, King of Saladin found someone to increase his voice and they could finally communicate.
“Sir, what do you want from us? I’ll give you everything you want! Please calm down and talk to me!”
Saladin had no way to fight back.
Angele was satisfied with the result. He wanted to reclaim his territory and to show how much damage he could do so no one would try to attack his new land.
He stayed in Saladin for around half a day and signed a treaty with the King. The King gave the old Rudin Empire to the Rio Family; the treaty stated that they would not attack each other in the next 100 years. Also, the King would have to provide gold and resources for the Rio Family to build the country.
Angele flew back to the harbor after everything was done. He told the family leaders about the situation and left a lion man with the family to protect them. He then flew to the Gem Sea.
He spent three months in the Andes Alliance. The last thing he needed to do was to visit the school. Also, he needed to enter the underground world and find the tree.
He doubted if he would visit his family again in the next several years.
It took him a couple weeks to travel back to Ramsoda, where he was welcomed by the wizards of the school.
Angele learned about the general situation of the school and attended the ceremony. He learned that the entrance to the underground world would only open once a year and the time had not come yet, so he decided to wait for the entrance to open in the school.
*****************************
Several months later.
Inside a stone chamber behind the school, two dark rays landed on the ground, turning into people in black robes.
One of them had the head of an eagle and the body of a human. The other one had two heads on his shoulder, one male and the other one female.
“Greetings, Master Angele,” the two-headed man shouted and sent some silver light into the stone chamber.
The gate of the stone chamber opened slowly and revealed a dark tunnel leading the underground.
The two wizards did not hesitate. They entered the tunnel and started walking down. Several minutes later, the temperature in the tunnel was getting higher and higher.
They released some ice runes to decrease the temperature around their bodies.
Another minute passed, and they finally reached the exit. A ray of intense red light from the exit almost blinded their eyes and the heat waves almost swallowed them.
They left the tunnel and entered a small meeting hall.
In the center of the hall, there was a pool full of lava. A naked young man was inside the lava pool. It was Angele—he was training in this hall.
Angele’s eyes were closed; it seemed like he was resting. He heard the footsteps and opened his eyes, glancing at the two wizards.
“What’s the matter?”
The vice president of the school spoke politely, “Master Angele. The merfolk wizards are here for what you did to the Saladin Empire. They said they want an explanation…”
“An explanation?” Angele chuckled as he poured some lava on his body. His skin was not burnt at all. “What explanation do they want? How many merfolk wizards are here and how strong are they?”
“There are three wizards here. The leader is Blue Moon the Hydra. You didn’t kill Blue Moon’s student, so it should be fine…” The other one here was a professor from the school.
“Also, messengers from the Six Ring High Tower, the White Tooth Castle, the Wizard’s House, the Northland Alliance, and some other wizard organizations are here. They are all here to visit you,” the vice president added. “There are so many of them and I don’t want it to become a problem, so can you…”
Andy was the vice president of the school; he was a bit worried about the situation. The wizards of the land and the wizards of the sea had never fought each other. However, what Angele did to Saladin Empire was totally unexpected, and many wizard organizations were pressuring Ramsoda for that reason. Some of the messengers were friends of Andy.
The school was in a bad position and the important members of the school were having trouble handling the situation. If a war broke out after Angele left, the whole school might be destroyed.
However, there were still benefits in this incident.
Angele was a legendary wizard and Ramsoda was the school that trained him. The wizard organizations all changed the way they treated Ramsoda. They did not attack Ramsoda because Angele was in the school and they were afraid that Ramsoda had other secret weapons.
They wondered if Angele was the only legendary wizard they had.
Angele easily killed thousands of soldiers and two knights. The wizard organizations thought that he was at least at rank 3. Rank 2 wizards were already rare in this generation, and rank 3 wizards would be considered secret weapons of the organizations.
The rank 3 wizards that worked for Ramsoda all passed away in the last several years. That was the reason why Ramsoda was trying to summon the wizards who’d graduated back.
Angele’s return made the school famous right away; the school had a much easier time recruiting talented apprentices. Talented apprentices could bring them more resources. With the resources, the school would be able to continue to develop.
Andy lowered his head again after he thought for a while. He could not believe that he was standing in front of a wizard that was over 800 years old. Andy was only 200 years old and he was just a rank 2 wizard. Also, Angele was like a superstar to the apprentices. With Angele in the school, there was nothing for them to worry about.
Angele knew why Andy wanted him to handle the problem and knew what Andy was implying.
He thought for a while and responded, “Who’s the strongest wizard that returned to the school? Besides me?”
“The strongest wizard beside you is a wizard named Cider Kamen, he’s a rank 2 wizard at the Gas Stage. He’s preparing for the Liquid Stage,” Andy responded immediately. “Do you want to see him?”
“No.” Angele glanced at Andy. “What else do you need? Just tell me everything. You know you can’t hide it from me.”
Andy smiled.
“There are two more things that I need help with. First, there’s a necromancer in the school that had some trouble in the snow valley. He accidentally broke the seal of an ancient magic item and released an ancient monster when fighting with the wizards from the Northland Alliance. We tried to capture the monster but all failed, and the two human countries around the snow valley are complaining; even creating special teams for the task didn’t work. Furthermore, the monster’s power is increasing gradually…”
“The other thing is also related to the Northland Alliance. They attacked three of our star dust mines and injured a wizard named Param. They sent assassins to kill Param and we’re not sure what we should do, so…”
“That’s it? Can’t you handle that by yourself?” Angele’s brow furrowed.
“We can, but we just want you to back us up. If you don’t say anything, we may encounter some problems…” Andy explained carefully.
The two events that Andy talked about were nothing to Angele; however, if the school decided to fight back, a war might start. Although they could handle the problem by themselves, they did not want to face the rank 3 wizards of Northland Alliance. That was the reason why they wanted Angele to help.
Angele thought for a while and decided to offer some help. This was the school that taught him many things, after all.
“I’ll try to solve these problems when I meet the messengers from other wizard organizations. Also, you can rescue Param first. He’s a member of ours, and we can’t Northland Alliance do whatever they want! If the assassins try to fight back, you can just kill them. Do it in the Snow Valley if possible. Snow Valley is our territory, right?”
Andy was happy after hearing those words.
“Thank you, Master Angele!”
“No problem. I’m a member of the school. Attacking the school is the same as attacking me.” Angele waved his hand. “However, you need to take care of my family after I leave.”
“Of course! We will!” They bowed to Angele.
“Alright, you can leave now. I’ll stay in the pool for a bit longer.”
They quickly left the tunnel and disappeared into the darkness.
Angele stayed in the lava quietly. The lava was not made from normal stones—it was made of a special fruit called Red Lotus. The juice of the Red Lotus had an extremely high temperature. Angele mixed the juice with star dust and made the lava by himself.
The lava could help him transfer energy—that was the only effect it had. The lava was perfect for the extra energy Angele was releasing.
Angele had more power than the president of the school and he was the one that was giving orders. With Angele in the school, everything was changed. The wizards and the apprentices were all extremely excited after the school became famous. They also had much easier time negotiating with other wizard organizations. They had been considered a weak organization for over 100 years, but Angele’s arrival turned the situation around. The only problem was that the wizards of Ramsoda had a lot more fights with the wizards from other organization after the school became famous.
The wizard alliance decided to send the messengers to check if the rumors about Angele were true.
