The sky turned dark.
A large amount of dark clouds that appeared from nowhere slowly turned into a large vortex that floated over the capital.
*Rumble*
The lightning was followed by thunder.
A large crack that looked like a black spider web slowly appeared on the barrier while the wizards were still in shock. Pieces of cracked barrier started falling.
The barrier pieces quickly disappeared into the air; there was a large black hole in the center of the spider web, its depths endless.
The black-red scorpion slowly crawled out of the hole.
*Roar*
The scorpion roared and red hair spurted out of the gaps in its shell. The hair was flying around like tentacles.
Bossier raised his right hand and shouted, "Come on, don't stop!"
His eyes were red and he was staring at the scorpion monster. He quickly recovered from the death of his sister.
Some of the wizards in the sky lowered their altitude and tried to escape but there were still wizards trying to follow Bossier's order after some hesitation. Only a few of them released all their power and strengthened their mentality waves so that they could gather the remaining energy particles around them.
The energy flows looked like colorful stripes that were linked to the center of Bossier's right hand. The energy flow formed a golden rotating badge above his palm.
"That's it…" The old bat exchanged eye contact with Mystery and both raised their heads. Silver and white light from their bodies gathered upon Bossier's right palm, entering the golden badge.
Bossier's skin was turning dark and his blood veins were pumping. It felt like they could explode at any time. His body started shrinking, it felt like his muscles and fat were being burnt like fuel.
Colorful light appeared around the golden badge and the area was getting unstable. Bossier's body started vibrating as the light appeared.
The strong energy was being compressed on his right hand.
*CHI*
Dark-red blood spurted out of his right arm; the blood veins in his arm started exploding but it seemed like Bossier was not concerned, he just stared at the scorpion.
"Now!" He suddenly threw the golden badge to the scorpion. The badge turned into a golden ray that looked like a long golden bat.
Strangely, the scorpion looked at Bossier as he completed the procedure.
"My job here is done…" the scorpion spoke in a deep tone. Its body started shrinking. The scorpion had the height of several thousand meters but it quickly turned into a human being that was wearing a black robe.
The man had long red hair and an average face, however, he looked mysterious with his dark-red eyes that looked like translucent rubies. His body was surrounded by black smoke and he was floating in front of the dimension fissure.
It was Angele who just returned to his normal form. He looked at the sky and smiled. Before the golden bat reached him, he quickly deactivated his true form and disappeared into the dimension fissure.
Angele was not concerned that the golden bat might destroy the dimension fissure he just opened and decided to leave.
The wizards were surprised, but another black shadow jumped out of the dimension fissure—it was a strange man with a long sword in hand and wearing heavy armor. The shadow's body was surrounded by thick green smoke. It seemed like the man had no idea what was happening but he could see the terrifying golden bat flying at him.
The man was surprised, he quickly raised his long sword and tried to block the attack. It was the only movement he had the time to do. The noise was not loud, but the impact made the whole world shaking.
The intense golden light blinded all the living beings in the area for a second.
They all heard the man roaring furiously after the strike.
"Phoenix! How dare you!" the man was speaking the universal ancient language.
***********************
On Rayton Highland, Angele stood on the main altar quietly with the dimension fissure right behind him. The dimension fissure was dark and deep, it looked just like a tunnel that led to the underground.
Snowflakes from the sky fell into the dimension fissure, leaving no trace behind.
The snowflakes were brushing over Angele's long robe in the chilling wind.
He did not mind waiting in front of the dimension fissure.
*BAM*
It sounded like something in the dimension fissure exploded; the explosion was followed by some pure energy. The light created by the explosion illuminated the dimension fissure.
"So, I timed it correctly." A gentle smile appeared on Angele's face. "That strike would've killed me if I didn't have the masks. I didn't expect the residents of the Fairy Realm to be so strong.
*CHI CHI CHI*
He heard the noise from behind and three men appeared. The golden man, Spider, and Bone teleported to him.
"Vapor will be mad," Bone mocked and chuckled. "The golden badge was created using pure energy. It doesn't deal a lot of physical damage, but it'll impact the soul. Vapor will definitely go after you later."
"What else can I do?" Angele was speechless. "Do you want me to handle all the attacks alone? You're the ones who get benefits from invading the Fairy Realm. I almost died and I'm sure you saw that!"
"Well, your body is extremely strong. Actually, you're the second strongest sealed form I've seen. You have 13 life masks, the bloodline of single-eyed giant, and terrifying illusion abilities. You're the perfect one to start the battle." The golden man chuckled as well.
"It sounds like you think that I'm born to do the hard work." Angele shook his head and sighed. "Alright, I'll be leaving the central continent for a while. I need some rest. We entered the Fairy Realm first, I think we have the advantage. You don't need to worry about the lords of the north now, right?"
Bone stopped laughing and responded in a serious tone, "We've stayed in the wizard world for a while. The lords of the north will either give up this world or come here and fight us. However, we had enough time to prepare everything, so we're not afraid of them. Not every lord has full power right after they are summoned. The lords are hard to deal with but the dimension channel is not a problem for us."
The golden man nodded. "Yeah, they shall know what we felt the last time. We were stuck in the dimension channel and the only thing we could do was defend ourselves. It was the worst feeling I had in the last one thousand years." His expression turned serious as he thought about his past experiences.
"We're the only lords here this time?" Angele glanced around, he did not find other living beings.
Bone shook his head. "Two Undead Kings of Bone Sea are also here. Undead Kings are the strongest beings in Bone Sea and there is a total of three of them. One of them worked with me and the other two are technically not under my command, however, I'm the strongest being in Bone Sea and I can give them orders."
Bone Sea was not ruled by Bone alone, there were political wars going on; however, the situation was a bit different for Bone. The Undead Kings would follow his orders during major operations but Bone did not have the right to give orders to all the legions he had. He just gave the general orders most of the time and the kings had the right to execute the order using their own methods.
Spider opened her mouth. "I'll take my two sons and one daughter with me."
The golden man was a bit surprised after hearing those words. "Your daughter? You mean the mother of reproduction? I heard that she's the purest being among the millions of children you had."
Spider hesitated after hearing that. "I thought you didn't know. Most of my children are not intelligent, so intelligent children are rare to me, unlike Bone."
"Well, the problem is you have full control over your children but not all my soldiers listen to my command." Bone shrugged. "Alright, that's it. We should enter the dimension fissure now."
He stepped into the dimension fissure and disappeared quickly.
Spider and the golden man followed after Bone, Angele was the last. His sight blurred for a second and then it was filled up with bright light.
The dark clouds were still rotating in the sky but the area was a mess. There were broken white stone pieces and dead wizards everywhere. The buildings around were all destroyed.
The area around the altar was empty and the place was deadly silent.
Vapor stood on the altar with a human head in hand. It was the head of Duke Bossier from the Fairy Realm. Vapor's armor was damaged and the purple flames in his eyes weakened. It seemed like he was tired after a big fight.
Vapor saw Angele walking to him and the purple flames in his eyes were strengthened again.
"Phoenix!" He gritted his teeth and the sword in his hand was shaking.
"What? I lost one of my life masks and handled most of the attacks. Don't tell me you can't take that golden badge," Angele responded with a calm expression on the face.
"You could've warned me, you know." Vapor knew that Angele's action was reasonable but he was still angry.
"You want me to warn you? I lost a life mask and you should take some damage too, that's what I call fair; otherwise, I'll be the only injured one here," Angele responded. He was mocking Vapor.
Vapor never liked the new Lord of Terror and had always been disrespectful during their conversations. Vapor was older and more experienced but Angele needed to teach him what respect was. He wanted to make sure that the lords could keep their promises.
"Alright, alright, calm down, you two. Phoenix, you need to understand that Vapor is not good at defense. He's specialized in speed and you're the one with the strongest body here," the golden man interrupted.
They stood in the center of the ruins and stopped talking. Bone and Spider started setting up a special portal on the side.
Different from the wizards, the lords built the portal using only natural ingredients. They took out something that looked like brain of an alien. The brain floated in the air and they poured some stinky gray liquid on top of it.
Minutes later, the brain exploded and turned into a white square gate. The creatures that walked out of the brain gate were coated with brain tissues that tissues looked like disgusting sticky liquid. Those creatures had the shape of human beings.
*HUA*
After the noise, another brain gate was created and two teams of people stepped out of the gates. They were soldiers that worked for Spider and Bone.
They were not releasing strong energy waves; it seemed like they decided to hide their power intentionally. When the lords were here, releasing strong energy waves would be considered a disrespectful action.
Angele glanced at the soldiers and his sight fell upon a woman. The other one looked just like normal soldiers but this woman was different.
