The Wizard World - Chapter 319

Chapter 319
A large campfire was continuously burning beside the river . A group of wizards was seated around it, talking about some things .

Two Watchers had been designated near the shore, patiently waiting for Angele to wake up .

"Master has woken up!" When they noticed the movement of Angele, they immediately sent word to the camp through energy particles .

"Has Lance finished communicating with the Flame Scorpions yet?" Angele stepped out of the river, and with a flick of his finger, the energy particles remove the river water from his body immediately .

"It is done . Lance has been waiting with the scorpions," one of the black robes answered quickly .

"Thanks for guarding the safe zone for me . " There was a gentle smile on Angele’s face .

"It is our pleasure . " The two bowed slightly to Angele . Clearly, they were a tad different from the other wizards he had met .

Once the wizards in the camp were informed of Angele already finishing his meditation, they quickly walked to him, including the wizard called Lance .

"Ask the Flame Scorpions to get ready . I will have them use their flame breath soon," Angele spoke in a calm tone .

"…Understood…" Lance nodded several times .

Angele turned around and returned to the camp as he still needed to do a few preparations .

"Wait! Master wizard! I have something of great importance to tell you . It is about the secret treasure within the mountain!"

Angele narrowed his eyes; Lance’s words surprised him .

"Secret treasure?" Angele repeated . "Is this the same treasure we talked about beforehand?" He looked at Hakeem .

Hakeem nodded slightly and started explaining, "Master, the secret treasure within Nash had come from a rumor . It says that there is a garden of elemental fairies somewhere nearby the volcanic river . Many items considered legendary are within the garden . If you can find the entrance to this place, the fairies inhabiting it will gift you one of those items . "

"The garden of the elemental fairies…" Angele rubbed his chin . He had indeed heard of this place before .

He raised his head to look at Lance . The man had a neat and handsome face, yet his expression was complicated .

Lance immediately forced a smile after seeing Angele staring at him .

"Master, we have already found the entrance to the garden . Several of my family members have already entered it as well . We are staying here for a while because we are awaiting their return . They are the only people who can take us to the secret treasure .

"Why are you telling me these, then? Do you truly think I will trust you?" Angele felt a tad curious .

"My family is in trouble right now…master . We are not getting the promised share of the mission . The other two families who came with us might acquire the legendary items and used these to annihilate my family after we return to the city . " Lance narrowed his eyes . "I would rather give all the treasures to you so that the other two families cannot use the power of the items to fight against us . "

"Let me be honest with you . I am not interested in the treasures . Hakeem, why don’t you…"

"Master…" Lance’s expression soon changed and interrupted Angele from further speaking .

*Pa*

The female captain slapped Lance right in his cheeks . Using so much force, Lance nearly fell to the ground .

"How dare you interrupt the master . " Red glows surrounded her eyes .

"It is fine . " Angele stopped the captain from hitting Lance again . "Keep going . "

The man gritted his teeth, but he quickly calmed down . His right cheek had already turned red .

"Master, the situation is a bit complicated . " He decided to communicate with Angele through energy particles . "The garden of the elemental fairies is the last ancient holy ground of the fairies . All living beings that enter the garden will be blessed by the mysterious holy power and will be given legendary items by the fairies as gifts . In reality, the majority of strong wizards only want to search for the garden for the blessing . You might be blessed with a talent ability or a skill of a mutated beast . Rumors also say of being blessed with a great increase in the affinity with the elements . The only problem is, only five people or creatures can stay in the garden at a time . Three members of the families have already entered the garden . Only two more people can go through the gate . "

"Interesting . I know about the place but never heard of the blessing . " Angele felt no interest in the legendary items, but he was curious about the blessing . A free talent ability or a special skill would help him greatly . Furthermore, if his affinity with energy particles could be increased, it would become much easier for him to infuse his mentality with the elements .

Angele had read about the garden of the elemental fairies from a wizardry book . It said that the elemental spring in the garden could help remove the impurities inside a wizard’s body, but it was the first time he heard of a blessing and its special effects .

"All right . I will go check out the garden of the elemental fairies . I want to know what exactly the blessing is . " Angele narrowed his eyes and made up his mind .

"Lyn, tell the Watchers to prepare . " He turned to the female captain called Lyn . "And make sure Lance is not lying . He will be the one to show us the way . "



"Yes, master," Lyn nodded and quickly responded .

"Good . Let us deal with those Flame Scorpions first . It is important . " Angele walked to the scorpions that were still in captive .

They had not eaten for three days but looked the same as before nevertheless .

Lance followed Angele and communicated with the Flame Scorpions . The scorpions nodded after listening to his words .

"It is done, master" the man respectfully said .

Angele nodded . Soon, the scorpions formed an encirclement around him and they started releasing flame breaths one by one .

*BAM*

The green flame from the first scorpion struck Angele’s body with great intensity .

However, the flame breath of Flame Scorpions could only deal about ten degrees of damage, so it was nothing to Angele .

He deactivated his Metal Mastery forcefield and let the green flames brush over his body . Angele slowly closed his eyes and began his meditation in order to comprehend the runes of the second stage of Molten Core River .

Angele must decide on the form of his second body upon the start of meditation in the second stage .

Beginning from the second stage of Molten Core River, Angele must create his second body using pure energy or physical materials . He could modify the shape and property of the body however he wanted but the difficulty and requirements varied depending on the shape and property . Moreover, the power of the final form was decided by multiple factors .

This was the special ability granted by the advanced meditation technique, Molten Core River .

The second body Angele would create would grow stronger as he continued to progress further .

The red bird controlled by the female captain was her second body . Her soul could still survive in the second body even if she lost her physical form . The only way to kill her was to destroy both her second body and her physical body . She might survive if she turned herself into her soul form or her pure energy form, but her strength would tremendously wane .

Angele needed to decide on the property and shape of his second body . This incredibly strong special ability was what made the Molten Core River famous .



The only problem was if Angele was not strong enough, he would not be able to gain full control of the second body . Once it was so, the creation of his second body would depend not on him but on its own devices .

Time passed .

Thunder continued to rumble in the sky as lightning ceaselessly struck the land .

Rain finally descended from the clouds . Several minutes later, it turned into a horrifying downpour .

Hakeem pointed at the wall of the deep pit immediately and created a large cave .

Two Watchers stayed beside Angele to keep guard, while the rest of the group entered the cave to avoid the rain .

Angele sat in the center of the Flame Scorpions’ encirclement, his body being surrounded by green flames .

The flames did not touch his skin directly, as they were being blocked by a distorted energy barrier several centimeters away from his body .

Miniscule specks of green light separated from the flames, slowly being absorbed by Angele .

About ten minutes later, the energy of all the Flame Scorpions was completely spent, causing them to faint .

Lance patiently waited for Angele to finish his meditation at the side .

A crimson rune suddenly appeared on Angele’s forehead then disappeared after several seconds .

*WOO*

The translucent energy barrier disappeared and all the green flames were absorbed by his body .

Zero’s mechanical voice echoed in his ears .

‘2nd stage of Molten Core River mastered . Mentality increasing…’

‘Checking…Mentality increased to 91 . 7 . ’



Zero’s report woke Angele from his meditation . Angele’s limbs had become numb; such feeling was quite strange .

‘That’s it?’ Angele found it hard to believe . The progress was so smooth that he did not even feel the excitement of mastering the second stage .

Once again, this was the advantage of the wizards inhabiting the central continent .

‘Have you finished the analysis for the third stage yet?’ he asked .

‘Estimated time for complete analysis: 73 hours, 21 minutes . ’ Angele felt a slight disappointment about Zero’s response . He could feel his resistance vastly increased and he could now manipulate fire far better than before .

In his mind, while meditating, there was a hazy image of the second body, but he was not certain what it looked like .

It seemed that the second body would depend on itself to find the most suitable form for Angele, as he was not strong enough to form it himself .

According to the explanation recorded in the book, the second body’s form and property would be influenced by its owner’s characteristics, desire, body strength, and mentality .

However, Angele must first master the third or fourth stage in order for him to control his second body .
He was not particularly worried about his progression on the Molten Core River due to the assistance coming from Zero .

Angele stood up heading to the cave with the two Watchers and Lance .

"Master . "

"Glad to see you back . "

Hakeem and Lyn were meditating but when they noticed Angele’s presence, they greeted him immediately .

"Thanks . Have some rest . My task was finished earlier than I thought it would be . We can go check the secret treasure out tomorrow . " Angele smiled . "What do you think?"

"As you wish, master . " Hakeem chuckled .

Liv nodded slightly and responded in a cold tone, "Certainly . " She had never shown Angele respect due to her special position in the Watchers .
