The Wizard World - Chapter 470

Chapter 470: Welcome Party (1)

Three days later…

The location where Eye Devil was sealed .

By the edge of the dark red plain, Angele was standing in a small red bush, staring at the black buildings .

The red clouds were boiling in the dark sky and illuminated the whole land .

A large black platform was built on the right of Eye Devil's body and there was a black vortex floating above the platform .

The floating vortex was releasing a strong force that was pulling all the translucent souls to it . The souls were like rain drops that were flying into the vortex .

Behind Angele was the wooden house he built a while ago . The woman in black was also staring at Eye Devil .

"Souls are everywhere… It started last afternoon," the woman muttered . "Where did you get all those souls?"

Angele remained calm, he was absorbing the black smoke coming from the woman .

"You don't need to know . Do you agree to my offer?"

"Well, I got my talent ability by luck and I don't think you can recreate it . " The woman shook her head . "I fear light because of this ability and that's why I'm wearing black . "

Angele looked at the woman . "No worries, we have a lot of time . "

He had not practiced the Molten Core River for a long time and focused on the modified Book of Fear . He followed the method mentioned in the book and absorbed the negative emotions while practicing the Sound of the Knell .

The Book of Fear had three chapters: Prologue, Funeral Oration, Epilogue .

Angele removed the poems from the Erin's Funeral Oration since they were useless .

The prologue of the book could help him improve his bloodline power .

The funeral oration would help him purify his bloodline power and also explained how to create his true form and refined true form . The epilogue explained how the special weapons or armor were crafted . There were also some secret techniques, including the Sound of the Knell and the way to create the second or third life using the negative emotions other than fear .

Angele watched the translucent souls fly to the black ball beside Eye Devil and took out a red notebook from the mirror . He opened the notebook—it was full of incomplete formulas and some theories that were not validated yet .

He turned to the second last page, it seemed like he was excited .

A black rune circle was drawn on the leather paper of the notebook . There were complicated rune circles in the large rune circle . It looked like a well-designed pocket watch that was full of gears .

Strangely, the small rune circles were all rotating and making some strange noises .

"The Ritual of Black Death…" Angele rubbed the rune circle carefully .

He modified the rune circle slightly and there were five empty slots . He wanted to use them for something else .

"I only need to put the five emotion beads into those slots and I'll be able to create my refined true form; however, it'll take years…" Angele closed the notebook and handed it to the woman . "Hold this . "

"What's this?" The woman was confused .

"This book will help me absorb the negative energy around your body so you can have some nice dreams during the night . I forced you to leave your hometown, this is some compensation," Angele responded in a calm tone . "I'll check the negative energy absorbed by the book later . You can stay here—Eye Devil's servants will deliver food to you—or you can stay around Eye Devil's body . However, you must stay here until I finish my business . "

"How long will it take?" The woman was not anxious at all . "I was sealed for a long time and I don't care if I have to stay here for a bit longer . "

"I'm not sure, it depends on how many souls they collect…" Angele sighed and looked at Eye Devil .

"It won't be too long…" he muttered .

For some reason, the woman suddenly felt fear toward the man she was staring at .

"Go now… I'll be leaving…" Angele turned around and disappeared into a ball of flames .

The woman checked the notebook and remained silent . She had a general idea of what Angele was about to do . There was only one way to collect souls, which was to kill more living beings .

　　**************************

Four years later…

The main world .

On top of a mountain between the Molten River and the Tarry River .

The blue sky was reflected on the surface of the mirror-like volcano lake .

The area around the lake was surrounded by random stone pieces that varied in shape and some vibrant green trees .

There were birds twittering and beasts roaring in the forest .

It was noon . A group of people wearing black robes with red badges on their chests were waiting quietly by the lake . They stood there quietly, staring at the sky .

In the front, there were two old men with messy hair and long beards, and there were four black robes standing behind them .

"It's almost the time," one of the old men spoke . He turned his head around and looked at a female black robe—a young woman wearing pearl earrings .

"Isabel, where is your grandfather?"

She chuckled and responded, "He'll be here in half an hourglass . "

"Is that so?" The old man nodded .

"Don't worry, the First Elder is the strongest wizard of the Elemental Hand . He'll be here on time," the other old man said . "We had an agreement with the alliance and we've already decided to face the chaos together . "

"True . With the First Elder helping us, everything will be alright . " The two old men started a random conversation .

Behind the four black robes, there was a group of wizards with mermaid-shaped badges on their chests—there were about ten of them . In the center of the group, a young man with a pale face was waiting patiently and a middle-aged man was talking to him .

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Green, happy, right? You mother is finally back . " 

"Yeah, I'm happy, but I'm surprised that it took her so long to complete the mission…" Angele smiled as well .

"Of course it took a while… She's one of the elders, even the rank 3 wizards spend years on their experiments . Just like me, I'm the head of the Human Resource department in Mermaid's Song and I have a lot of resources, but I lost ten years of effort in the recent lab accident…" The man looked depressed . "Ten years, Green . All my efforts turned to ashes . I'd break down mentally if I'm a weak man . A wizard's life can be hard too…"

"True . I'm on the same boat as master Brum . " A middle-aged woman on the side joined the conversation . She had a pair of shapely eyes and a serious expression on the face . It was Masha, she communicated with Angele a lot after the tomb exploration .

"Master Masha, there was an accident in your lab too?" Brum questioned in a low voice .

"Well, yeah, when I was at the northern ice plain…"

Angele smiled as he listened to Masha and Brum's conversation .

They were here to welcome the army back . The two old men were heads of the Eagle Eye School and War School .

The four black robes behind the heads were representatives of the organizations that worked for Elemental Hands: The Wind Valley, the Wandering Farm, and the Gold River . The granddaughter of the First Elder, Miss Isabel, was also here—she was also one of the new Energy Retrievers .

The people with strong backgrounds were all here, the only reason that Angele was in the team was that he was the only son of Elder Vivian .

Angele glanced at Isabel . They met once during the party held by Shozo and he knew that the girl was the second granddaughter . The people around Isabel were probably also inheritors of the elders .

He stood in the team and waited patiently . Couple minutes later, he heard thunder rumbling in the sky and the noise was approaching .

In the blue sky, a group of pink light dots appeared, flying to the welcome team .

"They're here . " One of the old men put on a pair of glasses and arranged his long robe .

"Urartian, you or me?" He looked at the other old man .

"I'll do it . " Urartian stepped forward and took out a short black wand . He held the wand in hand and pointed at the sky .

A water beam spurted out of the lake and flew toward the pink dost in the sky .

*KA*

The water beam froze and turned into a wide ice lance as they left the lake . The surface of the lake started freezing as well .

The ice shreds splashed in the air and the top of the wide ice lance turned into a large smooth platform—it could easily fit dozens of flying mounts .

A long staircase appeared on the surface of the ice lance, leading to the frozen surface of the lake .

A simple parking platform was quickly created .

Urartian lowered his wand and nodded slightly with his right hand on the beard .

"Dandy, what do you think? This is a new ice spell that I modified recently . "

"Well, not bad, but mine is still better . " Dandy chuckled .

Urartian glared at Dandy and looked at the sky .

All the people at the scene raised their heads and looked at the sky .
