Chapter 627: Monster (2)
*WOO*
Angele heard some vibrating noises in his ears and noticed that he was standing in a dark tunnel seconds later.
He turned his head around, but the only thing he saw was a dark wall.
"A spell that took me through the physical barrier... It doesn't seem like an illusion," he muttered as he looked at the tunnel ahead.
It was an arched tunnel with glowing blue crystals on the top. The blue crystals lined up and released gentle blue light.
Angele started moving forward and reached the end several minutes later. It was a dark-brown cave.
In the center of the cave, there was a humongous silver ball around two meters tall.
Strangely, the metal ball was rotating slowly and there were several openings on it. Inside the ball, there were countless silver gears; the structure was quite complicated.
The mechanical parts were moving and reconstructing. Angele could see the glowing blue runes on each of the mechanical parts.
Angele stopped about one meter away from the silver metal ball and scanned it using the biochip.
Zero's mechanical voice was echoing in his ears.
'Target scan completed... Analyzing data...
'This artifact came from around 240 000 000 years ago. It's an ancient artifact.'
Angele knew that the data was real as the wizards had no reason to make a counterfeit artifact. Based on the information collected by the biochip, everything seemed legit.
"Over 200 000 000 years ago... What? Where did this thing come from..." Angele wanted to learn more about the guardian technique, but he did not know that the guardian ritual was controlled by this large metal ball.
"It seems like the guardian technique is more complicated than I've thought..." Angele walked around the ball and used the biochip to record all the information he needed.
He stopped on the left of the metal ball and raised his hand.
He put his palm on the surface of the silver ball. The texture was cold but smooth. Angele rubbed the surface of the ball several times, making some light noise.
The scorpion mark slowly appeared between Angele's brows, and there was red glow flashing in his eyes. He released some dark smoke, which quickly sank into the silver ball.
Angele felt refreshed as the dark smoke entered the silver metal ball. It felt like he entered a sea of rune-covered mechanical parts. There were countless silver metal parts moving, separating, and regrouping inside the ball. The shape and the structure of the mechanical parts were changing constantly.
Angele was moving through the endless sea using the dark smoke. The only things in his sight were the silver mechanical parts.
He had no idea how long he had traveled, but he finally found something different. He entered a silver space with a tall silver wall in the front. He had no idea how tall and wide the silver wall actually was.
A voice echoed in Angele's ears; it felt like the voice was talking to his soul.
"Exchange... Exchange... Exchange..." the hoarse voice kept repeating the same word using mentality wave.
The dark smoke collapsed as Angele could not handle the power of the mentality wave.
Angele took one step back and returned from the mentality wave. He stared at the silver metal ball with a strange expression on the face.
"My soul had the power of a rank 8 wizard yet my mentality wave collapsed under the pressure... That's unusual. The wizards of the school had no way to find its secret. If they somehow reached that space, they would be killed by that voice immediately."
The mechanical structures that the dark smoke went past were recorded by the biochip, which was trying to analyze them.
Angele could feel that the biochip was absorbing his energy and using it as the resources for the task. It seemed like analyzing the mechanical structures was a hard task for the chip.
'Did you collect enough information?' Angele questioned in mind.
'Enough information was collected. It'll take around 13 years to complete the analysis. Possible result: Find a new power system named Might,' the biochip responded.
Angele was satisfied with the result. He turned around and started heading to the exit.
He was interested in the unknown power system that was from 200 000 000 years ago.
*********************************
Angele organized the information system in the school after he'd recorded the information that was needed for analyzing Might. He also perfected the spells that had certain problems. The whole information system of the school was brought to a different level and was almost perfect. If the wizards in the school could continue to improve the system, the system would reach the same level as the information system of the Six Ring High Tower sooner or later. The Ramsoda School would also become one of the strongest wizard organizations on the west coast.
Angele was considered the strongest dark wizard of the dark wizard land; rumors even spread to the central continent. He eliminated over 100 wizards in one strike—not many wizards in the central continent could do that.
Some white wizards did not believe the rumor and decided to challenge Ramsoda again after the war, however, they were quickly eliminated. Usually, the white wizards were supported by the White Tooth Castle and the Six Ring High Tower, but this time, the two remained silent.
Finally, the west coast was officially ruled by the dark wizards.
The small dark wizard organizations gathered at the dark wizard land, building the largest dark wizard alliance in the history. Dark wizards received invitations and all headed to the dark wizard land.
The white wizards decided to give the strongest dark wizard in recent history, Angele Fenrir Rio, a nickname "King of Dark Wizards".
The white wizards, the Land of Nola, the Northland Alliance, and the Labyrinth School, all started discussing the dark wizard alliance with Ramsoda.
However, none of them had any words to say as they knew that they could easily be eliminated by Angele.
The King of Dark Wizards' name spread to the Land of Nola, and they all heard about what he did during the war. They used to kill every dark wizard they saw, but they decided to stay away from the dark wizard land after the war.
The dark wizard alliance was like a humongous octopus, reaching to the areas around the dark wizard land using its tentacles.
Luckily, the monster that broke the seal was heading to Ramsoda at full speed. The white wizards were relying on this monster—they wanted the monster to bring trouble to the dark wizard alliance.
Strangely, the monster disappeared for no reason when it was only several hundred kilometers away from Ramsoda, and no one knew what'd happened it to it.
*************************
Ramsoda School.
The white obelisk.
Angele was standing on the balcony, overlooking the afternoon scene of the school. The gentle sunlight illuminated the school buildings and the place looked beautiful.
"Is he here?"
Two men in dark shadow brought a strong man with a pair of dark wings on his back to the balcony. They stopped behind Angele.
"Huh, so, you're the King of Dark Wizards?" The man's hands were tied up and the strong muscles on his body were hard as rocks; there was a long black horn on his head. It seemed like he was not upset that his hands were tied up. He was rolling his eyes and it seemed like he had an idea in mind.
Angele turned around and looked at this monster.
"I heard that you broke free from an ancient seal?"
"Yeah, my name is Mogo by the way," the man responded.
"Mogo, huh?" Angele smiled. "I guess you let them capture you, right?"
"Of course!" The monster suddenly destroyed the handcuffs and kneeled in front of Angele.
"King of Dark Wizards, no one understands how strong you actually are! The fools thought I was going to attack you. How naive can they be!" Mogo chuckled. "I'm Mogo and I came here to join your team, King of Dark Wizards! The weak ones shall bow to the strong ones, this rule never changes!"
"Huh?" Angele was interested. "I think they were right. You're indeed an ancient creature and you probably know how strong I am. Why are you calling me King of Dark Wizards?"
"I'm certain that you're a strong being. I don't know what level you're at, but your energy waves are endless like a dark sea..." Mogo was showing his respect. "If you didn't hold your mentality wave back, I think none of the wizards on the west coast can even look at you directly."
Angele nodded slightly.
"I heard that you killed more than 50 wizards on the way to Ramsoda, including two rank 2 wizards? Also, you killed thousands of mortals and used their blood to recover your power?"
"I only killed the white wizards and their people. I didn't do anything to your people!" Mogo responded politely. "I won't do it again if you don't want me to."
"It's fine as long as they are enemies... However, I knew several families in Land of Nola; I suggest that you avoid that area. You can check the list by talking to Sella." Angele waved his hand. "You can leave now and have some rest. If you need more blood, you can follow me to the Night Elf Empire. They never liked wizards like us. However, don't do anything to the people in the school."
"Yes, Master..." The monster took several steps back and disappeared into a ball of dark flames.
The two men in dark shadows turned into dark smoke and returned into Angele's body. He released two lion men to capture the monster, however, he did not know that the monster was not going to attack him at all. The monster willingly surrendered and said that he wanted to serve the great master.
Angele checked the monster's power level. He had the power level of a rank 3 wizard and was stronger than wizards of the same rank in the dark wizard land. Also, it seemed like the monster lost some of his power after he was injured, but he could still sense the endless power in Angele's body.
