Mystical Journey

The three people were surrounded by ice-blue light spots, pure like the elves’ blue light spots. Under the radiance of these light spots, their speed of action seemed to have increased, even the blood flow from their wounds would be instantly stopped by a layer of thin ice.

Mies was tall and thin. There was an obvious mocking look on his face as he stood in the middle of a formation, surrounded by the three.

“So weak…” He cocked his head to a side and spit out these simple words.

An invisible transparent energy field emanated from him. The energy field expanded and became bigger and higher like haze. It quickly formed a huge sphere that was more than ten meters high.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh…

Sharp hairy spikes were suddenly projected out of the ball. The entire sphere became a giant energy-field-spider in less than half a second.

Whish!

One of the spider’s foreleg suddenly struck light lightning at the front of the short-haired girl.

The latter had no time to respond and was hit. The shirt on the girl’s chest was torn apart and her bosom popped out instantly. That was not all. In the middle of her chest, a horrifying blood wound gradually became wider and bigger, almost splitting the whole chest into two halves.

Pooh!!

The girl’s chest involuntarily raised and a jet of viscous blood spurted out instantly. Before it had landed on the ground, it had condensed into a sharp red crystal-pillar.

With a bang, the girl fell to the ground into a coma.

“Canaan!!” “Sister Can!”

Hong Guo and the gentle boy’s minds went blank. When they saw the girl fell, they rushed madly toward her side.

Mies had no intention of stopping them, but only view them like ants, watching the two’s tears and snot gushed out and them helping the girl up with terror, guilt, anxiousness, and pain.

He found it very interesting.

Observing other people’s feelings and emotions had always been his most favored hobby. And so, he had the interest to be like a spider, entwining his opponents little by little, trapping them bit by bit into a state of desperation, watching the other party erupt all their power, and finally revealing despair and anger, and yet, still unable to do anything.

That intense feeling fascinated him the most.

“How wonderful…” Mies licked his lips greedily. It was this type of feeling that made him felt as though there was something thick and delicious slowly releasing in his heart, leaving a rich aftertaste.

“Secret Frost Seed should be on you yea, kid.” Mies laughed and stared at Hong Guo. This lad had a faint aura on him that he dreaded.

“Although I don’t know exactly what method you used to fuse with the Secret Frost Seed, this will be your last lucky place here…” Mies slowly walked forward. The giant transparent energy-field-spider also followed him forward, making a sharp hissing sound of air flow.

“I’ll kill you!!!” Hong Guo broke out in a frenzy, and suddenly rushed over and slashed directly at Mies with his épée.

He growled and fused all the power in his entire body into this move.

Ah!!!!

Suddenly, the night sky in the distance lit up. A piercing blue light like that of a little sun emitted scorching heat and a blazing glow in the distance, like a wheel of light hung up in the night sky.

The blue light caused Mies to blink his eyes and so, his action slowed a little.

When he raised his hand again to hurriedly parry, he suddenly found that the speed of the épée had increased ten times abruptly and had already reached him in the blink of an eye.

The last thing that entered his vision was the demonic eyes of that lad which was glowing with blue light.

Swoosh!!

“How careless…” This was Mies’ last thought as his consciousness sank into darkness.

*******************

The blue light slowly dimmed and two figures stood still opposite of each other in mid-air.

“Who are you…?” Carthage leaped a few steps back and paused mid-air, staring at the black-robed figure who appeared out of the blue in mid-air.

The other person’s whole body was shrouded in a black robe and the surrounding aura fluctuation seemed to be concealed and messed up using some special item. It was just a bunch of muddled and disarrayed signal.

From the outside, it was impossible to identify which sect this person was from and what was his identity and look.

Carthage lifted his right hand. His palm was scorched and black. It was still emitting white smoke.

“Regenerate.”

He spoke lightly.

The wound on the palm quickly grew to heal and the black scar fell off directly from the new, tender meat beneath in less than two seconds, restoring the ruddy skin of his palm.

“Who am I is not important.” The black-robed man answered calmly. “What’s important is that I am no threat to your plans.” No one could realize that underneath the black robe, the back of the man was perspiring cold sweat.

“What do you mean?” Carthage narrowed his eyes.

“It is exactly as how you understood it. Do you think I would believe that a fellow who had just joined the sect for less than twenty years could be such a genius as to advance to Non-Falling Level in such a short period of time? Such a top-class talent would be willing to enter Scarlet Snow Sect at this remote area? Just because of the kindness of Second Elder from the previous generation whom you talked about?”

The black-robed man said nonchalantly.

“Or perhaps, you are not just a beginner disciple. Being able to advance from Level One to Non-Falling Level in twenty years’ time would be considered a top-class genius in the whole of Energy Machinist world, but unfortunately…it is not you.” The black-robed man teased as he spoke. “Tell me, am I right? Dear Lord General Rain King…”

“I don’t understand what you are saying.”

Carthage’s pupils constricted slightly and his left hand which was holding the hilt tightened slowly.

“Don’t be nervous.” It was pins and needles on the black-robed man’s scalp as he felt an extremely terrifying Qi’s Dynamic locked on him.

He made a nonchalant tone and his voice was low and powerful.

“I don’t mean to expose you. I also don’t have the ability to expose this game of chess.”

“Your purpose,” Carthage asked calmly.

“Rainy had saved me once in the outside world and I would like to return the favor.” The black-robed man also answered calmly. “For this reason, I can do it at all cost…”

Carthage did not ask stupid questions such as ‘Are you not afraid of me killing you?’ Since the other party dared to come, the person must have done some preparatory work in other areas in advance.

He just stared at the other party, wanting to penetrate the black robe to see the face of the person inside. This plan of overturning Energy Machinists was extremely secretive. It could be said that apart from the participants and the supreme commander, no one would know about this huge game plan.

In any case, he could not figure out from where did the other party learn about this plan.

It could not be the people of Scarlet Snow Sect. No one here could withstand my blow and be so calm unless it was the Guardian, that monster. However, that monster would not speak so much of nonsense with me over this kind of trivial matter. If it were him, an impatient slap would have gotten rid of me.

Carthage’s mind was spinning rapidly, rejecting each speculation.

“You can go.” Carthage’s left hand which was clenching the hilt was finally relaxed.

“Thank you. Rest assured, I will never leak the slightest news. This is the trend of the times. Nobody can stop it.” After the black-robed man had finished speaking, he dragged the bubble that Rainy was in with one hand, turned around and in a flash, had crossed dozens of meter and appeared mid-air in the distance.

Then, it was another quick flash again. Directly using another short-range space jump device, he suddenly jumped and disappeared into the dark night.

Looking at the figure of the black-robed man who left, Carthage’s hand that was holding the hilt tightened slightly, but he never made his move.

The hit that the opponent broke out just now was no less than the power of his arbitrary strike. Adding on his casual attitude, there was a thirty percent of possibility that the opponent was a powerhouse of the same level as he was. Once entangled, exposing the plan was not worth the candle. Once exposed, it might have little effect on the big plan but he himself would certainly die here.

“It seems that they will need to arrive here as soon as possible…”

Only after the glimmer of bubble had completely disappeared in the night sky did Carthage slowly turned around and threw out a black ball from his hand. The ball instantly unfolded and transformed into a dark square passage.

As Carthage entered it, the passage suddenly disappeared. Besides the remaining traces of the two forces on site, there was no other sound.

*********************

Far away on the snowfield in the night

Pooh!!

The black-robed man slowly took off his robe. His whole body was covered with blood. His blood vessels were broken and his skin was burst open with blood hole of various sizes. His flesh and bones were wiggling continually, straining to close up the wounds, but they were confronted by some kind of powerful force.

“How powerful…a Non-Falling Level senior powerhouse. Indeed, a well-deserved reputation…I was almost half dead!”

Garen smiled bitterly and looked at his pitiful state.

Physical injuries were not the most important thing. After all, with enough potential points, they could be healed. The most troublesome thing was the magic device Sunlight. This time, it seemed that it had finally erupted completely. The blue flame inside was fully exhausted. Only then did Garen knew that the blue flame inside could be depleted completely.

At this time, Sunlight was being held in Garen’s hands. The flame on the hilt was gone. It looked like an ordinary silvery white long blade.

Only by relying on this demonic blade could Garen erupt the power of that of a Non-Falling Level for a short time.

With the strength of his Two-Moons Level at the resonance peak, if there was no such demonic blade, it was impossible for him to counteract Carthage’s grasp directly. With his own strength, he could only deal with Inherited-Level powerhouse at the most.

“It can only be done this way…” Placing Rainy’s bubble on the snowfield, Garen put on his black robe again and quickly disappeared into the night.

The bubble with Rainy enveloped in it laid alone on the snowfield. A few minutes later, a figure with a bloody odor quickly approached from the darkness.

It was Aloran, who had just got away.

Her whole body was stained with blood. Her original white dress was also tattered everywhere. One arm hung loosely on her side, obviously broken by an external force.

“Rainy!”

She saw the lethargic Rainy in the bubble and quickly rushed over. Bursting the bubble with a poke, she carried her up.

That man’s intel was actually true!?

She recalled the previous abrupt reception of a letter from a black-robed man. She had only rushed over here to have a look but did not expect that Sister Rainy was really here.

Looking around, the surrounding was an empty snowfield. A dark rotating black hole was gradually opening in the air not far away. It was a black hole-jump. Obviously, everything had been well arranged.

Aloran darted over and checked the jumping destination of the black hole with her Energy Machine Imprint. She was instantly overjoyed.

“It’s Public Star Region!”

Without saying anything, she jumped straight into the black hole.

Hiss…

In the subtle noise, the black hole slowly shrank and vanished. It finally transformed into a dotted black light and dissipated in the air with a poof.
