The Wizard World - Chapter 294

Chapter 294
‘Ungrateful kid…’ Henn sounded a bit unhappy upon hearing what Angele said . ‘Alright . Come on, I’ll transfer the soul pattern and mentality wave modification method to you . ’
Angele was not concerned . Standing amidst the strong winds, he raised his right hand .
A small white light ball was conjured atop his palm . The ball of light looked like a translucent spinning glass ball and there was a strange black insect inside it .
The insect looked identical to a scorpion . It had two claws and one needle on its tail . The only difference it had were the black spikes on its back .
Angele narrowed his eyes and observed the glass ball .
‘What’s this?’ he asked .
‘It is called Spike Scorpion, just a specimen . This scorpion is easy to find in the wild, but it has many different forms . A part of the boy’s soul was trapped within this specimen . Actually, it’s not really a scorpion but just a symbol now . ’ Henn responded immediately .
‘In other words, this is the soul mark of her son . I had lost my physical form, but I had instead gained the ability to separate souls from its vessel . So what do you think?’ she continued .
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele’s eyes . He quickly scanned the scorpion using his chip to make sure that it was not a threat .
‘Let me control this thing myself . I think I can do it . ’
‘Sure . ’ Henn chuckled, and she stopped talking .
The glass ball slowly landed on Angele’s palm and the white light faded .
He looked at the glass ball . Hesitating for a second, he tapped on the ball with his finger .
*CHI*
The glass ball sank into his finger right away .
Angele shook his head, feeling dizzy .
Zero’s mechanical voice echoed in his ears .
‘Unknown energy detected trying to enter your brain, eliminate?’
‘Yes . ’ Angele gave the order .
The blue light dots flashed in his eyes and his eyeballs looked like two perfect sapphires .
‘Elimination failed . The energy particle is unknown . Try to interrupt it with mentality waves?’ Zero reported back after several seconds .
Angele was surprised . It was the first time in a long time that Zero found a new type of energy .
‘Yes, use the mentality wave . ’ He closed his eyes and modified his mentality frequency right away in order for Henn not to discover what he was up to . Not only that, he also began to inspect the properties of this unknown energy .
‘New type of energy detected . Please name it . The energy particles are blocked by the mentality wave . ’ Zero brought the good news to him .
‘Name it "Soul Power" . ’ Angele preferred using straightforward methods .
He could feel something cold moving inside his brain .
‘Soul power consumed . Mentality increased to 77 . 5 . ’
After about half an hour, Angele finished the simulation of the soul power . His eyes were once again surrounded by a golden glow .
‘Alright . You should have realized by now that I did not lie to you, right?’ Henn spoke at such a perfect time .
‘I’m just being cautious . Don’t think too much about it . ’ Angele pursed his lips into a smile . ‘What should I do next?’
‘You see those smoke coming out of the magma chamber? Touch it with your hands . ’
Angele stared at the thick, white smoke coming out of the crater . He could smell the sulfur in the air . As he stepped forward, he finally felt the heat .
He raised his right hand and touched the smoke screen .


‘Can you feel it? Pull it out!’ Henn continued .
Angele moved his hand around and found a long stick that looked like a vein .
He held the vein tight and pulled it out . Some smoke left the smoke screen with the vein and it disappeared into the air right away .
‘Alright . You can just stay here and wait . Someone will come to pick you up, but you might face some kind of trouble . I must cut the connection for now so that no one will know I’m still alive . You’re a smart kid so you ought to know what to do . Only answer the questions that will help you prove your identity, though you can still say you’re from the west coast and you were once a mortal . It doesn’t matter anyway since you already have the soul pattern . Also, check the detailed information on her son that I transferred to you just now . Good luck . ’ Henn cut off the connection right after she finished saying these .
The information Henn transmitted to Angele was quite complicated . He stored it in the database .
Angele’s expression turned solemn . Quietly he awaited there, unsure of what was about to happen .
Suddenly, a stone pillar slowly arose from the ground right behind him . The stone pillar barely made any noise .

The stone pillar was about two meters high .
*KA*
The pillar cracked open, revealing nothing but darkness within .
A woman wearing a long robe of whiteness stepped out of the cracked stone pillar . Her face was clean and attractive and dark blonde hair, silky smooth and shiny, trailed over her shoulders .
Angele heard this noise, causing him to turn around as the woman’s cold gaze fell on him .
"Who are you and why are you here?" The woman was speaking in a rather cold tone and her voice crisp .
"I’m the ninth student of master Henn, who asked me to come here . " Angele politely bowed to the woman . He noticed the white robe that the woman was wearing had no decorative patterns of any sort, only plain white .
‘Henn…? Master Henn?’ The woman glared at Angele with her eyebrows knitted . "What’s your name?"
"I’m Angele Rio, you can just call me Angele . " Angele looked at the woman’s feet as he responded .


She was wearing a pair of long white boots . For some reason, no noise was produced when she stepped on the white snow .
"Follow me . " The woman turned around and vanished into the darkness inside the stone pillar .
Angele followed suit quickly . The small space inside the stone pillar easily fitted two adults . The inside was pure darkness and dead silence, however .
The stone pillar slowly sank into the ground and disappeared into the black rocks .
***************************
Angele felt as if he was standing in an elevator . Moreover, different from what he had expected, the space inside was actually much larger .
The woman stood beside the wall, the distance between the two about one meter .
The stone pillar was quickly descended albeit the slight tremors .
Angele felt as though gravity had disappeared for a second .
"I’m Vivian Fenrir . You can just call me by my name directly if you are master Henn’s student . However, I must first test you . You should know what will happen once I find out you lied to me . ’ Vivian looked at Angele .
"I didn’t lie to you . " With a flick of his finger, a small ball of purple flame appeared on the tip of the index finger of Angele’s right hand . He slightly waved his finger and yellow flames came out of the purple fireball .
"This is a basic application of the fire stacking technique master Henn taught me," Angele said right after the fireball vanished into the air .
"Your foundation is strong . How long have you been practicing it? Ten years?" Vivian’s expression loosened .
"11 years actually . I have put a lot of effort into it . " Angele had no idea how to continue this conversation . He had learned the fire stacking technique not so long ago when Henn asked him to master this, being it the requirement for the level 2 spell . With the assistance of the biochip, he mastered this technique in several days . Henn would’ve been surprised if she had witnessed what Angele had done .
The descending speed of the stone pillar was slow . Although the woman still continued to ask a series of questions, she had already begun to trust Angele after she saw him perform the fire stacking technique .
Henn had long transferred the detailed information to him, and Angele had no problem answering all those questions .


Vivian was no longer talking to him like a complete stranger .
"I’m sorry . But for some reason, it doesn’t feel like this is our first time meeting each other . You remind me of someone…familiar…" Angele now spoke the line they had prepared .
"Huh?" Vivian suddenly began to show hesitation .
*PA*
The stone pillar reached its destination and landed on the ground . The crack Angele had seen earlier was actually a door and there was a long crimson tunnel right in front of him .
The rotten-egg-like stench of the sulfur was far stronger in the tunnel than outside .
With creased forehead and brows furrowed, Angele followed Vivian out of the stone pillar .
"To be honest, I’m having that same feeling too . " Vivian slightly nodded as she advanced . "This is the place where master Henn taught me everything . But now, I’m the only one left…" She looked a bit depressed .
"I learned a lot from master Henn, but I also lost so many things over the course of my long journey . It is unfortunate, yet it may happen to you, too…"
It seemed that Angele’s plan was working .
Angele did not reply . He could feel Vivian emanating a horrifying mentality wave . It was not considered strong to him, but it gave him the chills . Angele was certain that if she had the intention to kill him, it would be impossible for him to retaliate . He had also felt a similar feeling when the airships had been attacked by the lord of the storm spirits .
The temperature in the tunnel increased as they kept moving onward . The air was thinning out, and Angele noticed a strange yellow mist floating around .
"This is the place . " Vivian turned left and stepped into a black stone gate .
Angele’s face turned red . Zero began to send warning messages upon detecting the temperature that was now over 50 degrees Celsius . The sulfur in the air was so dense he was now having problem breathing . Angele thought he was going to faint .
However, he felt refreshed after following Vivian into the stone gate . The air was nice and clean .
Angele took a deep breath, now feeling much better . The tunnel was almost like a different world to him .
