"I only have one choice, don't I?" Angele shrugged . "I don't want the Dark Wizard Tower to take over my homeland . "
"I'm glad that you can make the decision so fast . " Prince Evil Dragon smiled . "What about the contract you signed with the Dark Wizard Tower—will that be a problem?"
"It won't be a problem . The contract stated that I need to work for the organization if I'm enjoying the benefits it provided . I'm not getting anything from the Dark Wizard Tower so I don't have to work for it . Alright, I'll be leaving now, it seems like someone else is visiting you . " Angele stood up and straightened his back .
"Close the door for me . "
"Sure, no worries . "
Angele stepped out of the cave and was about to close the door . He saw a man in a gray robe walking in the hallway .
The gray robe glanced at Angele and lowered his head .
Angele narrowed his eyes, he noticed that the man had pale skin, a pair of sharp eyes, and golden eyebrows .
They walked past each other . The gray robe entered the cave and closed the door . The stone cave was completely sealed after the door closed .
Angele stopped and thought for a while . He shook his head slightly and walked to the exit .
He walked down the long dark tunnel and a bright exit appeared in the front .
Outside the exit was a cliff of a mountain and the ground was covered with broken pieces of red stones .
Angele stood on the cliff and overlooked the area .
On the yellow plain under the dark sky, a large army wearing white outfits lined up on the ground and there were soldiers merging into the army . They looked like two long white lines .
There were white griffins and black eagles in the sky . They were rotating in a triangular formation and each of the flying mounts was at least seven meters long . The knights on their backs were wearing light armor and holding dragon lances that were more than ten meters long in hand .
Strangely, the flying mounts were all holding irregular crystals in their sharp claws .
"They're already gathering the army…" Angele overlooked the soldiers .
There was a wizard with white hair standing in front of the formation, he was holding a white basket that was full of flowers in his hand . He grabbed some pink petals and threw them to the knight that was standing in front of him .
The knight kneeled and the two metal wings on his back opened . The metal wings were swinging like real wings, it almost looked the wings were part of his body .
The knight was wearing a sealed helmet and heavy armor . He looked like a war machine, he was almost five meters tall even when he kneeled .
*Brrring*
A long and deep sound made by a bell echoed in the air .
The flying mounts that were rotating in the sky broke the crystals they were holding into pieces . The crystals turned into black petals and started falling .
The petals landed on the soldiers' shoulders and hands . The looked like plain decorations on the white armor the soldiers were wearing .
*KA*
The silver knight slowly stood up and drew his greatsword, raising it to the air .
"Victory to us!" A deep and loud noise came from his helmet and it echoed in the whole area .
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
The army got noisy as all the soldiers raised their long swords and shouted .
*WOO*
It sounded like someone blowing a large horn .
The knight raised his head and looked at the gray sky . A team of enormous red eagles that were surrounded by small eagles was flying in the sky . There were so many of them they looked like a red cloud .
Each of the large red eagles was over 300 meters long, they looked like heavy fortresses that were flying in the air .
Angele by the entrance of the cave and looked at the red eagles . He was a bit excited .
"The guardian beast of the Sky Lord and Prince Evil Dragon's Giant Knight Legion . They're ready for the final battle . "
Some of the black petals were blown to Angele by the wind .
He grabbed one of the petals and noticed that the petal was releasing some strange energy waves that were trying to enter his body .
Angele dropped the petal and looked to the right . There were several gray robes with arms that looked like eagle wings landing on an empty platform .
Their arms returned to normal after they landed safely on the surface of the platform .
A female gray robe noticed Angele's presence and glared at him, but she did not do anything . She just led the team into the cave by the platform .
Angele was not concerned, he jumped down and turned into a ball of dark flames, flying down to the left .
The flames rotated around the mountain and landed on a pile of stones .
On the empty ground by the stones, the woman in white armor was checking the campfire that had already extinguished . It seemed like something was buried in the ashes of the campfire and she was trying to pick the thing up .
The dark flames landed behind the woman and turned into Angele .
"So, what do you say? Just give me your concept gear," Angele spoke .
The woman did not turn her head around .
"You're daydreaming . " She was removing the skin of the food in her hand . She took a big bite and started chewing it .
The woman's white armor was dirty, it was covered with dirt and dust . Also, she tied her long black hair up and Angele could easily see the grease on her face .
The food the woman was eating looked like sweet potato and the fragrance permeated the air .
Angele stood behind the woman and remained silent .
"I'll die sooner or later, right?" The woman finished the food and turned around .
She stared at Angele in the eyes and started mocking him again . "I can't cast spells anymore and my body is weakened . I'm just a mortal now . You can rape me, torture me, or just do whatever you want . I'm prepared . "
"Well, sounds good . " Angele was a bit surprised . He thought for a while and took out a finger-long test tube from the black mirror that was hanging on his belt .
There was a white egg-shaped ball inside the test tube and that was it .
Angele unsealed the test tube carefully and took out the white ball .
He looked at the woman . "Eat it . "
The woman grabbed the ball and swallowed it without asking any questions .
"You'll force me to eat it if I refuse so I'll just do it myself . " Her brow furrowed after swallowing the ball . "It's sweet but the aftertaste is strange . "
"You'll know what it does later . I made it not so long ago . " Angele shrugged . "Let's go . I need to join an operation . The war is still going on . "
They walked to the top of the mountain .
"The Giant Knight Legion and the guardian beasts are here . There must be different legions in different areas . Have you finished the rune circles I asked you to prepare?" Angele wondered as he climbed up the hill .
"It's done . You can check my memory, right? Why don't you just check it yourself," the woman responded .
"Becky, that's the name you used in the last 200 years . I'll just call you that," Angele said without turning his head around . "You're right, we are just chess pieces in the war between the Dark Wizard Tower and the wizards of central continent . I never thought you'd hate me so much . Without that competition, things would be much easier for us . "
"I understand what you're trying to imply . " Becky wiped her mouth but her pretty face was still dirty . "It doesn't matter now . "
Angele smiled and continued, "You tried to suicide 13 times but you never succeeded . It's the power of the bloodline, you won't be able to do anything . "
The two kept advancing through the broken pieces of stones .
"You know everything, yeah . " Becky shrugged and mocked him .
"Your concept gear is valuable to me . " Angele smiled and stopped talking .
They remained silent as they advanced .
Minutes later, a flat platform appeared ahead—there were around ten people waiting on the platform . They were wearing black or white robes, but none of them had any badges on them .
An old man that was standing by the edge of the platform glanced at Angele and said, "Alright, two more . "
The flying beasts in the sky were still roaring, the beasts and the griffins were also making noises .
The other people on the platform were not concerned, they were chatting or meditating on the ground . There were also several people just checking the surroundings .
Angele walked to a less crowded area with Becky .
A man and a woman with red hair were chatting on the right . The man glanced at Angele and it looked like he was surprised .
"Are you from the Elemental Hand?" The man wondered .
Angel was a bit surprised . "Sorry, you're?"
The man walked to Angele and smiled . "I'm from the St . King Mountains and I'm here to help the alliance . I thought it would take the members of the Elemental Hand a while to arrive . "
"St . King Mountains?" Angele had heard of this organization, it was one of the strongest organizations in the west . The members of the organization were good at energy modification and tracking spells . Their modified fire rune circles were famous and the organization communicated with Elemental Hand a lot . The Watchers used to visit St . King Mountains from time to time .
The man with red hair smiled and said, "My name is Justin and this is Monteria . She's a Fire Raven . " He introduced himself and the woman to Angele .
The woman nodded and smiled, but did not say anything .
"As a Fire Raven, Monteria's throat is different, so she won't talk," Justin explained .
Angele nodded . "I understand . The Fire Ravens have different throats than normal creatures . It's fine . "
They had a short conversation and traded information about their organizations . Angele already knew what Justin was implying .
They were all rank 4 wizards and they should help each other in the operation . Angele was not concerned, he needed more information anyway . The two wizards were talking to each other like they were old friends . They even talked about spell modification .
Becky was resting on the side with her eyes closed . Monteria was just listening to their conversation with a smile on the face, she remained silent .
Half an hour later, three more people appeared on the platform . Two were male and the other was a female . One of the men was half-naked, he was wearing a bone helmet and a leather skirt . There were some complicated tattoos that looked like totems on his face .
The man glanced at the group and his sight fell upon a female black robe that was standing alone on the platform .
"Fiona, I didn't expect to see you here . What did Prince Evil Dragon offer you?" he questioned in a deep tone .
The woman named Fiona was reading a brown leather book . She raised her head and looked at the man after hearing his words .
"Anchura? I thought you were hunting the black-striped rhinos on the ice plain . "
