Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 307 Return to the Empire
Osguto is dead? !
Killed by me? ? ? ! ! !
wait, no!
When Lando slowly recovered from his sluggishness, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

When he raised his head suddenly, he saw the island of death that was turning into a phantom and dissipating. Turning his head, the giant white bone skeleton also disappeared into the pure white crack.

"Hoo!~"

He let out a long breath, although he didn't understand why Osguto was hit by him on purpose, but Lando's shattered three views were finally preserved.

No matter how confident he was, he didn't feel that he could kill the Grand Arcanist once under normal circumstances, even if he used all the means, it was impossible.

After regaining his senses, Lando noticed a black light cluster left on the ground where Osguto disappeared, and a strange symbol in the light cluster shone with an inexplicable brilliance. After hesitating, Lando Instead of touching it directly with hands, a box of elements was condensed and placed in it, and then upper layers of seals were applied.

"Crash!~"

NO.13 was dismantled and turned into countless vines, and under the command of Lando's thoughts, the entire battlefield was destroyed once again. After cleaning up all possible traces, Lando walked away and walked towards the territory of Alturas away from the center.

This is the time when there is no leader in the territory of Alturas. It is the most suitable time for Lando to fight the autumn wind. If he waits for the surrounding lords to react later, he will probably be fine.

…………

There are quite a few birth methods for devils, but after hell escaped from the abyss, the masters of hell created a new birth method for devils in the model of the abyss in order to strengthen the vitality of hell.

The Underworld Sea of ​​Hell is one of the creations of the masters. It runs through the entire nine-level hell, and its area is extremely vast.

All the dead souls in the entire community of the hell world will be attracted by the sea of ​​hell, and thus will be thrown into it uncontrollably.

After the soul falls into it, after gestation, it will form a bottom-level devil creature called devil worm and climb up the coast. When they absorb a certain amount of nutrition, they will evolve into a low-level form of devil, and thus suffer from the hell sea. Drive away, into real hell!
At this time, on a certain floor of the core world of the Nine Hells, on the coast of the Underworld Sea of ​​Hell, a series of energetic devil worms are freely hunting and killing weaker ones of the same kind.

At this moment, an imprint circle deep in the ground suddenly shattered, and a devil worm sleeping in it woke up.

It wriggled its body and got out of the ground little by little. It seemed a little unaccustomed to its new body, and it was a little stiff when moving. The devil worms next to it were very confused by this kind that suddenly came out of the ground, but this did not prevent them from being greedy. The attempts to include it in the category of food.

At this moment, a strange symbol suddenly flashed on the forehead of the devil worm that came out of the ground, and all the devil worms at close range died instantly, turning into pure life energy and injecting it into the former's body. The devil bugs felt this breath and all instinctively fell to the ground, not daring to move.

Catalyzed by the pure life energy, the devil worm turned into a small blood cocoon, and the blood cocoon quickly grew in size. After a while, a little devil about 1.5 meters in length broke out of the cocoon. Compared with other little devils, Not only is his body more robust and well-proportioned, but he is also closer to the human form. Judging from his face, he looks like Osguto.

At this moment, Osguto's complexion was a bit complicated. Although he had already made a decision, it was still difficult to accept it for a while after he really transformed himself into a devil.

Just when he was in a daze, a soft sound in his mind interrupted his thoughts.

Gently grabbing into the void, a layer of communication light curtain appeared in front of his eyes, and a dark shadow appeared on the light curtain.

"Hehe, Osguto, I didn't expect you to have today. I really should celebrate it. You were defeated by that brat Lando. I laughed so hard! Hahahaha!" When the other side saw Osguto He laughed and mocked.

Osguto's face was serious, he had already adjusted his mentality, and said calmly: "Disrael, you don't need to judge what I do, and you don't have the qualifications."

The one who talked to Osguto was Disrael who escaped from the god's laboratory!
Disrael continued to ask in a mocking voice: "It's just that you took advantage of me when I was weak. You really think of yourself as a character? I won't lose to a brat like you, a waste!"

"Losing?" Osguto was in a daze, and said calmly: "That's just a choice. If he can be easily eliminated and disqualified, then he will lose some, and I can get some. This news It only makes sense to win under him, but he has clearly shown his worth under the circumstances at that time, even if I can win him, it won't cause too much impact, so I just..."

Disrael said disdainfully: "So you were killed by him once? Achieved his reputation?!"

Osguto shook his head: "Do you know why I was chosen as the tester?"

Disrael was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of this question.

Osguto said directly without waiting for the other party's reaction: "In the early years, for some reason, although I was promoted to a grand arcanist, I also left some shortcomings on my own path. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but until I walked a certain distance on the road of the great arcanist before I realized how stupid my original choice was. I have been looking for a solution these years, but unfortunately I have never been able to find it."

"Actually, the solution is very simple!" Osguto suddenly showed a self-deprecating look: "Just die once completely, and then start from scratch!"

"Before, I couldn't make up my mind. It wasn't until this time when I fought Lando that I suddenly realized that the boys of the younger generation have grown to this extent."

Disrael put away his sarcasm and said, "So you've made up your mind?"

Ask yourself, if he gave up everything in pursuit of a new opportunity when he knew he was on the wrong path, how would he choose?
Disrael didn't know this question either, but luckily he didn't have to make his own choice.

Osguto didn't answer, but instead said: "All the testers are in the same situation as me. In fact, we only need a simple test, and we don't need a real battle to the death."

Disrael asked with great interest: "Oh? So the reason why you did what you did to Lando was all on your own initiative?"

Osguto didn't speak, and when he got more information from his mentor and got the identity of the tester, he kept thinking about what he should do.

Because of the unwillingness in his heart, he deliberately said some misleading words when facing Lando, and he didn't even retreat after seeing that things could not be done. Instead, he deliberately took the strongest blow from the latter, which was In order to feel that special power, learn more about Lando.

As for what is the use of knowing it?Naturally, it is to prepare for the next real battle!
"Then, Mr. Stumbling Block, the agreement between us should still be in force!" Osguto said to Disrael suddenly, he was not a good gentleman who was mocked by the other party just now.

Disrael was just a 'stumbling block' put back by those old guys to make it more difficult for the imperial arcanists. The former didn't know this at first, and only realized it later.

For the upper echelons of the empire, Disrael is not qualified to win the final victory at all, and is just a tool to increase the difficulty.

As soon as the name 'stumbling block' came out, Disrael's expression stiffened a little, and then he said sneeringly: "Oh, it's really the arrogance of an arcanist, but until the end, the final result is still very serious. It’s hard to say! Of course the agreement between us is valid.”

Osguto nodded and said nothing.

After turning off the communication, Osguto looked around, feeling the increasingly strong sense of expulsion from the sea of ​​hell, and had no intention of fighting against it, so he left the coast directly.

On the other side, Disrael looked at the end of the communication, showing a sneer, and stepped out of the shadows to reveal his figure. Its body was indeed a deep hell fiend!
Hell is worthy of being his home field. After only returning here for a few years, he has evolved into a deep-hell refiner known as the nobleman of hell by virtue of the arrangement a long time ago.

Disrael looked at the small demon tribe in front of him and said to himself, "A 'stumbling block'?"

Wisps of flames converged in his hands, and quickly condensed into a crimson fireball, which was the explosive flame technique!

If Osguto were here, he would be surprised to find that Disrael did not rely on the power of the blood of the fiend in the deep hell to cast the flame explosion, but relied on the... arcane furnace in his body!
"I'll let you know if I'm qualified!"

"Boom!~"

The small devil tribe was reduced to ashes in the violent explosion, and countless souls wailed and screamed!
…………

A month later.

The news of Arturas' inexplicable disappearance finally spread. After a simple trial at the beginning, the territory of Alturas has become a mess. The three devil lords of the blood plain have already fought for this territory. mingle.

Lando is now at the edge of the original Alturas territory, and his expression is not very happy.

After the battle with Osguto, Lando immediately searched for the core of Alturas territory, the castle where the devil lord lived, but found nothing as expected. Lando was already mentally prepared for this.

Then he went to other large, medium and small cities in the territory. After a month of searching, he finally found soul crystals worth hundreds of thousands of soul sources, which pushed his savings to just over one million. It meets his needs, but it still inevitably disappoints him.

Originally, Lando's most optimistic estimate was to collect 300 million soul essences, and then condense the three orange talents of [Seven Emotions (Orange)], [Six Desires (Orange)], and [Xinhai (Orange)] in the system. , now he can only choose one of the three, because Lando no longer intends to stay in hell and is ready to return to the empire.

He also understood that the gap between the rich and the poor in a place like hell is quite extreme, and a large amount of resources are in the hands of the strong. It may not be a short time to simply search for the middle and lower classes to make the soul source quality reach the next million. What can be done internally, it is already an unexpected joy to have so many gains this time.

Luo Xiaohu didn't need to say goodbye anymore, after all, he had already said it the last time we met.

Claire and Strand haven't seen it, so there's no need to look for it again. Based on the experience of the two of them, it's not sure where the wind is blowing!
At this moment, Lando didn't know that Claire, who was supposed to be in trouble, was frowning at a tribe of dementors on the fifth level of hell because of a mission of his mentor, while his good friend Strand Naturally, he was also dragged into the water.

A few months later, when he tried his best to complete the errand task that Osguto gave him, but when he learned that his mentor had reincarnated and passed away, his expression was quite exciting!

As for the enmity between Lando and Claire's mentor Osguto, naturally it will not continue between the two of them... right?

The way to go back is also very simple.

Originally, Lando planned to collect the relative positions of the large communities in the hell world and let the little nine-headed dragon turtle take him to swim all the way back. Through the original coordinates of those worlds obtained by Luo Xiaohu when he traveled the world, and the time when they were captured by hell, Lando has roughly calculated the location.

With the advancing speed of the little nine-headed dragon tortoise in the void, he will definitely be able to return to the territory of the Arcane Empire within two years.

But it’s no longer needed. Not long after Lando accepted the test, he found that the originally unusable cross-domain teleportation ring on his body could be used again. Presumably, the empire used some means to save him a lot of money. less time.

Gently throwing the cross-domain teleportation ring, a trace of energy began to gather around it. Perhaps because of the distance, the portal opened very slowly this time. It took a full 3 minutes to open. An unstable portal was opened.

Lando stepped into it, the teleportation process was a bit 'bumpy', and the time was very long, long enough to suffocate ordinary people, but compared to what he encountered in the space-time rift when he came, it is already quite beautiful now.

After a long wait, a ray of light suddenly appeared and quickly filled Lando's field of vision. When Lando recovered, he had already stepped on solid ground.

Shaking his still dizzy head, before he could see the situation clearly, a voice rang in his ears.

"Brat, are you finally willing to come back?!"

Turning his head to look in the direction of the sound, it was his mentor Odo.

Lando smiled blankly and said, "Mentor, I'm back."

Otto, who was still a little angry at first, couldn't hold back anymore, nodded and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

"here is?"

Only now did Lando have time to look at the surrounding environment. At this time, he was in a small teleportation plaza. The air was filled with rich and surging arcane magic power, and symbols condensed by countless elements circulated in the void. Not far away was a The magnificent temple, on its steeple-shaped dome, and a closed golden eye.

Otto said with a smile: "Here, this is the core of the Arcane Empire..."

"Arcane Council!"
