The Wizard World - Chapter 262

Chapter 262
The man in a black robe returned to the deck as well after having some rest . Reyline and the two female wizards were beside the railings checking the situation .
Angele gathered the four survivors around the main mast .
"Did you find any other survivors?" Reyline questioned .
"No . We only have five people left . " Angele shook his head, looking depressed . "The airships are about to reach the Cloud Bee’s nest soon . We need to figure out a plan right now lest they kill us all . I wish we had more time . I want to study their bodies and find out how they detect their targets . " Angele rubbed his temples .
"Yeah, we need more information on those Cloud Bees . " Reyline nodded . "I know it will be hard, but their strength exceeded my expectation . "
The rest of the crew remained silent . So many wizards had just died . They were trying to figure out a viable plan as they were now approaching the bee nest .
"Why don’t we…return to Nola?" Hikari lowered her head and suggested .
"Return to Nola? That’s impossible . There are so many Cloud Bees in this area . They have just raided our ship and are thinking we were all killed . If the direction of the airships changed too much, they will realize that there are still people alive and will come back for us . " Reyline shook his head .
"What should we do then?" Hikari was getting nervous .
"We have to keep moving forward . There are only five of us . We can try to hide in the airships," the man in a black robe suddenly said .
"I’m sorry but you are?" Reyline turned to the man .
"My name is Stigmaricovertta, just call me Stigma . " The man’s face was still pale . It was clear that he still needed some time to recover from his injury .
Stigma looked at the wizards . He knew that the strongest wizard was the leader named Green and he was certain that the leader was hiding something from the others .
Stigma could sense something dangerous from Green . He survived the fight against the Cloud Bees and even helped the survivors in a calm manner after the battle finished .
‘Why didn’t he use his strongest spells to kill more Cloud Bees? He could have saved many wizards…’ Stigma narrowed his eyes .
"Master Green, what do you think?" He turned to Angele, then asked .
Angele pursed his lips .
"You’re right . We can only proceed forward and hope for the best . If we change our route, we will be attacked by the Cloud Bees . We should leave the dead bodies of the Cloud Bees on the deck too so that they would think that there is nothing valuable left on the airship . "
He stopped for a second and continued, "The only problem is I’m not sure if the Cloud Bees are the only flying monsters in the area . "
"It’s a bit out of topic but for some reason, my mentality increased slightly after the fight," Hikari interrupted .
"Well, it’s common . The intense battles will strengthen your mind . " Angele nodded . "Alright, everyone, do you have any more questions or suggestions? If not, I’ll go increase the airships’ speed, so we can pass the nest faster . "
"We can only hope for the best . " Hikari sighed . "I’ll go have some rest . " She turned around and walked to the stairs .
"Wait . Stigma, there’s something I need to discuss with you . " Angele looked at Stigma .
Reyline and Morrisa nodded and walked away . They decided to stay in the cabins of the first airship .
Only Angele and Stigma were left on the deck .
The chilling wind blew over their faces and the noise made by the envelopes echoed in the sky .
Angele walked to the railings, looking down at the endless sea of white trees . There was no other creature flying around the airship . The place felt empty .
Stigma followed after Angele and stood by the railings .
Angele looked at Stigma . "I know how you survived the attack . You pulled the Cloud Bee’s corpse onto yourself, right? I think you knew how to protect yourself from the beginning . " He sent the words using energy particles .


"Master Green…" Stigma had a surprised look on his face .
"Don’t try to fool me . I know that the Cloud Bee did not fall on you, but its body fluid left a trail on the deck . Your chest, hands, and feet were all covered by that liquid . I don’t think there’s anything more to say . " Angele stared at Stigma . "Now tell me who you are and what you know about the bees . "
Stigma’s expression turned serious . He stared at Angele for a while and finally opened his mouth .
"Well, I should’ve done it in a better way, but I didn’t expect you to investigate the details . It seems like you’re not so concerned about the bees . "
"I know I can survive the fight that’s for sure . " Angele nodded . "But I want to know about you and why you did not share the information with the crew . You were also trying to hide from the beginning . Just tell me, who are you?"
"I can tell you that but," Stigma walked to Angele and continued, "Master Green, you must keep this secret for me . "

"I can’t promise you anything but I’m good at keeping secrets . " Angele smiled . "Just don’t lie to me . I hate it when people lie . " He started emanating his undisguised mentality wave .
Stigma’s brow furrowed . He noticed the changes happened to Angele’s mentality wave . It was much stronger than before . He found it hard to believe .
‘This guy is hiding his true power too…’ he thought .
Reducing the number of the crew would increase the chance of the airships arriving at Omandis .
Stigma knew that Angele was forcing him to speak out the truth . If he told a lie, Angele would kill him without hesitation .
Angele had killed several Cloud Bees just by himself during the fight, while the rest of the crew had only killed two bees .
Stigma bit his lips .
"So you want the data on the monsters we’ll encounter, right?"


"You know how to deal with the Cloud Bees, so you should know how to deal with the other monsters . " Angele shrugged .
The cursed scimitar consumed the souls of two Cloud Bees . His attributes were now stronger than before . He was certain that he would be able to survive the next area .
However, he still wanted to avoid an encounter with the Cloud Bees .
Stigma remained silent .
Angele patiently waited on the side .
About ten minutes later, Stigma finally opened his mouth but he was sending the words using energy particles .
Angele put his hands on the railings and looked around . His expression changed several times upon learning what Stigma knew . He also asked several questions during the conversation .
Several hours later, they finished their conversation . Stigma sighed, looking tired .
"That’s all I know . Everything is true . If you have more questions, just come ask me in the cabins . " He turned around and walked to the stairs .
Stigma turned his head around as he vanished into the darkness . He saw that Angele was still standing beside the railings, thinking about something .
For some reason, Stigma sensed something familiar from the leader named Green . It was a horrifying feeling to him . Something which made him feel uncomfortable, but he could not remember if they had met before .
Stigma spent days observing the wizards on the airships, but he never found out what Green was capable of .
He knew that Angele was a strong wizard and that was the reason why he had asked Angele to ambush Baron with him . However, he realized that Angele was much stronger than him after the man successfully won the fight against Hikari and Reyline .
Angele had not revealed his true power in the battle against the Cloud Bees .


The man reminded Stigma of his master, a mysterious wizard respected by many elders .
Stigma shook his head and walked down the stairs, then he entered one of the empty rooms .
Angele stood by the railings alone, thinking about the information Stigma just told him .
Stigma’s words were surprising . He thought the man was just a wizard who once survived the trip to Omandis but the actual situation was different .
Stigma was a member of a family from the Omandis .
However, his position in the family was on the edge . He was caught in the middle of a fight between the family inheritor with an enemy from a different family . Stigma had to jump onto the airship to the west coast to escape . He fainted in the cabin and when he woke up, he realized that the airship was heading to the west coast .
Although Stigma’s father was the family leader, he was not strong enough to be picked as the inheritor . There were still people missing him in Omandis like his sister, his friends, and his mother, a lady who truly loved him from the heart . Stigma also wanted to meet his lover again…
He spent years working in the organization and finally got the chance to be sent to Omandis .
The information about Stigma’s family was not that important to Angele . He wanted to know how to avoid contact with the dangerous monsters .
Stigma successfully arrived at the west coast from Omandis and Angele asked him why there was an airship sent to the west coast . He also wanted to know what happened to the other wizards on that airship .
Stigma said that he did not know about the details . He said that although no one questioned him why he boarded the ship, he wanted to stay out of trouble .
Angele also asked Stigma about Reyline, the Perfect Wizard of Six Ring High Tower . He wondered why such a talented wizard joined the dangerous trip to Omandis . It seemed like he was hiding something from the crew .
Stigma told Angele about the basic information of Omandis and some stories of his family .
Angele had a basic idea on how to avoid fighting with the other monsters they might encounter during the chip . He now felt more confident on making it to the other side .
