The [Hundred Flowers and Thousand Trees], which had just advanced to the seven-circle rank, ranked only 478th.
Meanwhile, Triss, who had been living in seclusion in the Nightmare World and had virtually no record of combat achievements,
her wizard form, [Medicine Girl], ranked an even lower 489th place.
However, the lady didn’t care about rankings and had long since become indifferent to them.
After this battle, the Gondor City Three Greats wisely withdrew and hurried back to the Midland Continent.
Drawing from the repeated experiences of the Holy Infant being targeted by the Council of Ten Thousand Clans,
they understood that staying on the Godforsaken Continent meant inviting trouble from those schemers, who would inevitably come looking for trouble.
Thus, they needed to lay low for a while, wait for the storm to pass, and then act again.
…
Godforsaken Continent.
The chaotic clashes between wizards and demons intensified by the day.
In such murky waters, there were always those tempted to fish for profit amid the chaos.
In the Land of Darkness beyond the continent.
In the vast void, a lone airship flew silently and concealed.
On the deck stood a figure dressed in purple, hands clasped behind his back.
This was none other than Taigu, a Level 7 member of the Amethyst Race.
Over these years, the Amethyst faction, led by Taigu, had created endless trouble for the Wizard World.
He had personally killed numerous Sixth-Circle Wizards.
Of course, the Amethyst Race had also suffered significant losses.
The “Gondor Three Greats,” those damn troublemakers, alone had taken the lives of several members of the Amethyst Race.
Projections of the Snake Envoy and Emperor Dagon surfaced.
“Taigu, traces of Fire Dragon Ais and others have been discovered on the Godforsaken Continent,” the Snake Envoy reported.
Taigu replied, “I’ve already heard. I’m heading to the Forsaken Land, planning to remain hidden and act only when the opportunity arises.”
The Snake Envoy added, “The Black Dragon Pirate Group is now part of the Council of Ten Thousand Clans. They’ve taken advantage of the chaos to also hide themselves on the Godforsaken Continent. When the time comes, you can coordinate with them.”
Emperor Dagon said, “Taigu, if you manage to capture Ais alive and deliver him to me, I can transfer ownership of a small mining plane to you.”
This Emperor was still coveting the Holy Infant’s weapon-making skills.
Taigu sneered coldly, “My fists are merciless, and my blade is blind. I fear one punch from me will kill him outright… unlike those weaklings like that Level 7 Flame Demon.”
As a member of the Amethyst Race, his pride was unwavering.
Emperor Dagon’s expression darkened.
“Do your best. I need this man!”
As silence loomed over the plane teetering on the brink of death, the Snake Envoy spoke calmly,
“Let us not forget, we are now fighting on the same front. For survival and dignity, we must give it our all, no matter the cost… even if it requires sacrificing our lives!”
…
Human Realm.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Outer sea region.
A black-robed figure silently appeared.
His face was hidden beneath a hood, and his gaze, deep as a black hole, seemed to devour all light in its path.
He gazed calmly at the distant horizon, seemingly lost in thought.
“Black Sun Adam, you actually dare to show yourself in the human realm,” came a voice.
From the ocean waters emerged a figure robed in blue.
His face was sharp, a middle-aged male wizard emanating the majestic aura of a Grand Wizard.
The waters for thousands of miles trembled as though boiling, pulsating at his mere thought.
It seemed as if, with a single notion, he could cover the sea and overturn the heavens!
Despite having his identity exposed, Black Sun Adam remained unperturbed, smiling as he said,
“Sea Covering Wizard Matia, you truly live up to being the prized disciple of the Black Abyss Walker. And congratulations on quietly advancing to Grand Wizard. Relax, my friend. I’m merely passing through the human realm—no need for such animosity. Besides… you’re not my match.”
The Sea Covering Wizard sneered,
“You should know, the Hundred Beast Berserk Witch, whom you manipulated, has already been slain.”
Black Sun Adam sighed, “Of course I know. Poor Caesar… a pitiful creature whose entire life was under someone else’s control.”
BOOM!
