The Wizard World

"So, she wanted to find the souls from different realms?" Angele assumed.

"Yeah, Eye Devil put in a lot of effort this time, she provided us with five detailed coordinate sets to five different realms and she wants us to help her collect souls." Bone chuckled. "Vapor and Abyss will be here too. Eye Devil’s offer is so attractive that everyone wants a part of it. I heard that Eye Devil’s servants were trying to find more realms to enter, such as the Mist Realm, the Wizard World, the Giant Tree Realm... It’ll take a while for them to confirm the coordinates, but still...."

"Wait? That’s a lot..." Angele was a bit surprised after he heard about the wizard world, he felt like his heart stopped for a second. The army of the Nightmare Realm was so strong that he doubted if the modern wizards could handle the invasion. The ancient wizards had no problem fighting against the creatures from other realms, but the situation had changed.

"Phoenix, I suggest that you consume part of the souls you collected using this chance so you’ll recover faster. You’ll be ignored if you can’t show us your true power," Bone advised.

Angele remained silent for a second and responded, "I’ll think about it."

"Good then. I have something else to take care of. Talk to you later." Bone cut the communication.

Angele returned the skull to the pouch and started thinking. He was trying to calm down.

Waving his hand, a slim man in a black robe with a white ghost mask on the face appeared from the black smoke. It was a smiling mask—it was one of the masks that represented treachery.

After modifying the Erin’s Funeral Oration, he could feel the negative emotions moving to his body every time he practiced the Sound of the Knell. He could feel that he would be able to control the ghost masks in the future and it seemed like the ghost masks were turning into parts of his body.

’I heard that the Eye Tower of the Doomsday could gather the souls of the creatures. This dimension fissure should be able to lead me to a new realm.’ The men with masks jumped into the blue dimension fissure under his command.

*CHI*

The men entered the fissure immediately, but Angele was still floating above it. Closing his eyes, he could see what the masked man was seeing.

A large harbor appeared in front of his eyes.

The night was about to fall and he could already see the sky that was covered with silver stars.

Below the sky was a large canyon with black rocks. The river running down the canyon was also black, and by the end of the river, there was an endless sea.

Tall black buildings that looked like ships were standing on both sides of the canyon.

The buildings looked like ships that were built on large platforms. The buildings had many levels and each of the levels was releasing light that varied in colors.

He could also see the balconies and windows on both sides of the canyon, it seemed like the whole canyon was turned into a base.

The masked man was floating in the air, looking down. The masked man could barely deal any damage; however, Angele could use him to block fatal attacks.

It was also an effect of the new Erin’s Funeral Oration.

Angele only created one masked man at the moment, it was like having an extra life. He could block an attack that would kill his soul or physical form using the masked man.

He could see that there were many similar buildings on both sides of the river through the masked man’s face. Those buildings looked like the buildings in sci-fi films and there were people walking around them.

*WOO*

Something vibrated in the air and made some loud noise.

Angele was about to ask the masked man to return to the Nightmare Realm; however, he stopped immediately after hearing the noise.

A large translucent wave appeared above the canyon.

A humongous spaceship slowly appeared in the center of the wave. The spaceship was black and covered with blinking light. Smoke was rising from the surface of the ship and it seemed like the ship was damaged.

"Wait..." Angele was surprised after seeing the familiar object.

*WOO WOO*

A couple black fighters left the windows on the walls and rotated around the large spaceship, leaving some blinking white light dots in the air.

The light dots dropped on the spaceship and merged into its body. The light dots were used to repair the ship.

Also, Angele heard someone’s voice echoing in the air.

Angele had no idea what language it was. The voice was complicated, but it sounded a bit strange. It seemed like the voice was announcing something.

"Wait... This is like the modern world I’m familiar with..." Angele was in shock and asked the masked man to stay in the air.

The spaceship suddenly started melting when Angele was still in shock. The spaceship twisted and turned into a large monster that was floating in the air.

It was a black monster that looked like a dolphin with a fully armored knight on its back.

Angele observed the appearance of the armored knight—the knight looked familiar.

He recalled the information he collected recently and realized that the familiar feeling came from the golden book.

’This must be the Void Realm the man with a cape mentioned... The void monster has an appearance that is identical to this one...’ Blue light flashed in front of his eyes and he quickly checked the information related to the Void Realm.

There were many realms that were close to the Nightmare Realm—the Void Realm was one of them, and the void monsters were their main force. All the people of the Void Realm that could sign contracts with the void monsters were called Void Riders or Star Riders and they were the strongest beings of the realm.

Angele slowly calmed down as he read the information.

The Void Realm was not the same as the modern world Angele thought, also, he was not worried that other people with the same biochip would be able to reach the same level as him.

Angele had lived in the wizard world for so many years; the biochip was just a tool to him, and he handled many dangerous situations by himself since the biochip could not react to the instantenous strikes. The biochip leveled up many times as he became stronger as well—his biochip was different from the biochip he had when he was still at Earth.

The masked man was still in the air. Angele observed the harbor for a while, and returned to the dimension fissure after the sky turned dark.

Angele checked the illusion pool again, but he failed to find any trace of the scorpion woman. He sent the coordinates of the dimension fissure to Bone. The fissure could easily be turned into a vortex portal that would link them to the Void Realm.

Angele double-checked the dead body of the dog after sending the coordinates. He had a feeling that the dog did not kill the scorpion women, they just broke the seal and left the area through the dimension fissure.

The broken statues around the pool were just like normal stone statues.

’If I’m not mistaken, the Wall of Confusion, the old woman, and the scorpion women all escaped the area through the dimension fissure; it’s possible that they were the reason why the fissure appeared.’

Angele collected all the things he needed and reorganized the scene.

Minutes later, he heard footsteps coming from the entrance. A team of skeleton soldiers entered the hall, wearing black armor and holding bone weapons in hands.

"Captain Geraharden from the Bone Sea reporting in!" The leading skeleton soldier walked to Angele and bowed to him. "Master, we traveled here through a portal in the area, is this the dimension fissure you mentioned?"

White flames were burning in the skeleton soldiers’ eyes and they were staring at the blue fissure.

"It’s a fissure to the Void Realm. Make sure that you don’t alert the residents of the Void Realm when expanding the fissure. The fissure is right above a harbor," Angele ordered.

"Yes, Master, we’ll be careful!"

Angele left the ruin after the skeleton soldiers started working. He decided to return to the plain that Eye Devil was sealed at.

He flew in the air at full speed for two days and finally left the black snow mountains.

Golden desert appeared on the ground and dust was no longer falling from the dark clouds in the sky.

It was the first time that Angele flew for so long in the Nightmare Realm—he needed some time before he could reset the coordinates, so he had to travel in the air.

According to the information regarding the scorpion women he’d acquired from the woman in black, buildings like Eye Tower of Doomsday would usually cause strange side effects. Angele only needed to do some small modifications, and those side effects would become something that Angele could use while keeping the original functions of the building. The side effect would be turned into a huge amount of negative emotions.

The souls collected by the Eye Tower of Doomsday were usually souls with hatred. The negative emotions from such souls had always been a problem, however, those emotions were just what Angele needed.

The refined true form required a huge amount of negative emotions. He needed the bead of fear, the bead of anger, the bead of desperation, and the bead of madness. Also, he needed the core of fear. His power level would be greatly increased after he acquired the refined true form and he would be at the same level as Eye Devil.

Angele also needed to collect the bloodline power and keep refining it. However, with the updated biochip and the purified bloodline power, he would be able to reach the top-level of the refined true form soon.
