If someone breached the chaos contract, he would be dragged into the legendary Chaos Realm, a realm that was filled up with strong beings. Angele would try to stay away from them if he could.
Also, everyone knew that one would never come back after they entered the Chaos Realm.
The colorful leather contract slowly disappeared.
"Master, what's that?" Turin questioned in a low voice.
Becky snorted and explained, "It's the chaos contract. This guy signed the contract with someone that has a strong background."
Angele lowered his hand and looked at the enormous stone wheel. "Let's go, I think someone is coming."
The three walked straight to the stone wheel; the chilling wind of the plain brushed over their bodies. There were still snowflakes falling from the sky.
Turin followed after Angele. "Master, what's your next step?" he asked as they walked.
"Next step?" Angele smiled. He already had the power after he could activate his true form. The only thing left for him to do was to protect his relatives and friends during the war.
"I'll think about it after I find my mother. Although I spent a lot of time in the central continent, I don't really care. After everything is finished, maybe I'll find a safe place and live a peaceful life…" he responded in a low voice.
"After everything is finished?" It seemed like Angele's word reminded Turin of something.
"Can I go take care of some personal matters after the war ends? It's something I have to finish by my self."
Angele smiled and said, "Of course. You and I are… similar… We both want a free and happy life."
"When will you let me go then?" Becky questioned in a cold tone.
"Let you go? I know how to inject the bloodline into your body, but I'll have to kill to extract the bloodline. There's nothing I can do." Angele shrugged.
"You!" Becky shouted in anger.
They were no longer traveling at full speed. They walked to the stone wheel slowly and arrived at the wheel when the sun started rising.
Angele was a bit tired after all the traveling and fighting. The only thing he wanted to do was to find Vivian and leave this chaotic area with the members of the Elemental Hand. He wanted to enjoy some peace and relax.
The diameter of the stone wheel was more than 300 meters—the three wizards looked like ants when compared to the wheel.
The rocks in the stone wheel were rotating and floating. The intense wind was blowing at the three wizards.
Angele looked at Turin, who then stepped forward and pressed on one of the rocks in front of them with his palm. The rock had the size of a millstone and was covered with green moss.
*CHI*
Turin's hand disappeared into the rock; his hand was surrounded by translucent energy waves.
Turin pulled his hand out of the stone. With a flick of his finger, he released a ball of golden smoke that covered the three wizards. "The stone wheel is a defensive barrier, but it's also the entrance to the garden. Without the energy wave, I'd be blown away by the power of the defensive barrier."
Angele nodded. "Which means this stone wheel is not an illusion—it's a physical object?"
"You're right."
"That's interesting." Angele rubbed his chin. "We can just walk in, right?"
Turin nodded and stepped forward. His body quickly sunk into the stone wheel, and it still felt like that the stone wheel was just an illusion.
Angele followed after Turin and stepped forward as well.
He felt dizzy for a second; it felt like his body rotated several times and returned to normal after several seconds. His sight also blacked out for a while but the light returned quickly.
A spacious plain that was covered with grasses appeared in front of Angele. The light of the setting sun illuminated the grass—it looked like the grass was coated with a gentle orange glow.
The chaotic energy movement and dimension movement in the air disappeared. Angele could smell a flowery fragrance from the gentle wind.
He turned around and noticed that the stone wheel was no longer there; the only thing in his sight was the grass.
Raising his left hand, he rubbed his fingernail slightly. Red light flashed on the back of his hand and a red scorpion mark appeared.
"Can you hear me? Vivian?" He sent the message. "I'm back and I'll find you soon. Don't worry."
No one responded, but it seemed like Vivian was safe since the mentality wave from the communication rune was stable.
Angele raised his hand and the scorpion mark glowed.
He used the other hand to draw a rune that looked like "G" quickly and the red glow around the scorpion mark became more intense. A red metal chain was released from his hand, flying in a certain direction. It felt like that the chain was connected to somewhere they could not see.
"That's the correct direction. Let's go." Angele lowered his left hand and started moving in the direction that was pointed by the metal chain.
It looked like that the three wizards were traveling slowly under the sun, however, their bodies would blur for a second every several steps they took and they would teleport to a further position.
They looked slow, but they were actually traveling at a fast speed.
The grass on the ground turned dark gradually and its length slowly increased. It was now dancing in the gentle wind.
After about half an hour, they saw that there were gray rabbits jumping around and there were several dark holes on the ground that were burnt black. It seemed like there was a fight going on.
Several white stone pillars appeared in front of the three wizards.
Those stone pillars varied in shapes and there were square windows on their surface. Angele could see people passing by through the windows; it seemed like there were people living in the stone pillar.
The stone pillars formed a spacious stone forest and there were around ten brown houses built with mud around the forest. Also, there were people stepping out of those houses.
Some of the people were wearing long gray robes and the rest of them were wearing simple leather armor. They noticed the three wizards and looked at them.
A young woman in white armor stepped out of one of the mud houses. Strangely, the woman had no eyes or eyebrows on her face. The area above her nose was clean and it looked just like a large forehead.
The young woman quickly walked to the three wizards.
She sent words through energy particles before she reached the wizards. "You must be Master Angele."
"Yes. You're a servant of Prince Evil Dragon?" Angele glanced at the woman.
He observed the woman's face closely; without eyes and eyebrows, the woman looked a bit terrifying. The woman had a nice body, especially her breasts—they were much larger than average women's breasts and looked like two basketballs.
It seemed like the armor on the woman's body was a complete piece, there was no gap and Angele had no idea how she put on the armor. There was no shoulder piece, no elbow piece, no knee piece; it looked just like a tight suit.
Angele opened his mouth and asked, "You're from the… the underground world?"
The woman lowered her head slightly and put his right hand on the left side of the face.
"I respect your knowledge. My name is Ursa and I'm from the Ninth Sect of the underground world. I'm still having trouble with the sunlight."
"It's the first time I saw a real living being from the underground world. Your appearance is… unique, and I assume you suffered a lot before you could leave the underground world," Angele praised.
Turin nodded slightly. "The population in the underground world is large, but we're relatively weak when compared to living beings on the ground. We need to put a lot more time and efforts into our practice than others." It sounded like he was just muttering but it seemed like Turin was explaining things to Becky.
The armored woman looked a bit surprised, she did not expect Turin to know so much about the underground world. "Prince already knew that you were coming and asked us to wait for you here. Also, don't worry, Elder Vivian is safe and sound. Prince has already punished his son and you can do whatever you want to him. Please follow me."
"Sure." Angele nodded.
The woman turned around and walked to one of the large stone pillars.
There was barely anyone around, but Angele could hear the music played by harp in the air.
Angele walked as he checked the surroundings; he found a small house on the right and there was a woman in a gray robe watering the grass. He could hear that there were people talking and clinking.
The house slowly disappeared; instead, they saw large white stone pillars. There were people whispering or crying in the pillars.
"They just entered the garden not too long ago, most of them are wizard apprentices and rouges. A lot of them lost their families during the war," Ursa explained through energy particles as she walked. "The Dark Wizard Tower killed many people and robbed many cities. I heard that more than 20 cities were destroyed and the situation was getting worse. The wizard organizations had to join the alliance or fight till their last breath."
"I know the situation too," Turin interrupted. "Beside the alliance, there are two more organizations formed by random wizards fighting against the Dark Wizard Tower, they are called Lee Man High Tower and White Mountain Castle. The only thing that is keeping them in the fight is the Legacy Magic Circle."
"You're right, without the alliance, these two organizations will be eliminated sooner or later. Alright, we're here." The armored woman stopped in front of the stone pillar. "Please enter this stone pillar, Elder Vivian is inside it."
Angele nodded and walked into the gate that was more than ten meters wide.
Inside the gate, there was a gray spiral staircase made of stone.
They walked upstairs and arrived at a room with a white door that was open. In front of the door, there was a maid in a white suit. The maid had no eyes as well. She noticed Angele's presence and bowed to him slightly.
"Master, Elder Vivian is still sleeping due to the fragrance of dream flower she inhaled. It'll take two more days until she can completely recover. The criminals are imprisoned in the basement of this pillar by the way," the maid explained.
"Understood." Angele looked at Turin and Becky. "Show them the way to the basement."
The two wizards understood what Angele wanted them to do right away. They followed the maid to the basement.
Angele entered the room and his sight fell upon a large bed by the window. There were two maids standing beside the bed quietly.
"Leave the room and close the door. I'll take care of her." Angele waved his hands.
"Yes."
The two maids bowed and walked out of the room quickly. They slowly closed the door.
*Crack*
The door closed.
Angele walked to the bed and looked at Vivian who was lying on the bed. His expression loosened and he felt relieved.
Vivian's long blonde hair trailed over the pillow, shiny and smooth. The bed was silky and soft. Her neck was exposed to the air and brought contrast to the dark silky sheet under her body.
Angele reached to Vivian's head and put his hand on Vivian's forehead.
'Analyze the dream flower for me,' he ordered in mind.
