'You refined true form can deal at least 270000 and up to 350000 degrees of damage. You defense power is around 290000 degrees. Agility, 15. With your Stamina, damage that is lower than 300000 degrees can be recovered naturally,' Zero added.
'Vapor's maximum attack power is 400000 degrees and he can deal at least 100000 degrees of damage under normal circumstances. His defense power is around 70000 degrees. Agility, 27. With his Stamina, damage that is lower than 70000 degrees can be recovered naturally,' Zero continued.
With the data, Angele could compare their power levels easily.
'Although I spent years empowering my bloodline, my speed is still my weakness… My refined true form is slower than my realm form. Zero, show my attributes,' Angele ordered.
'Angele Fenrir Rio, Strength 35.2, Agility 19.1, Stamina 34.4, Mentality 627, Mana 597.6. Gene limit not reached.'
A row of blue data appeared in his sight.
'My mentality is still increasing gradually and already reached 600. Not bad… However, my Agility is close to 20 when I'm in my normal form…' Angele was a bit speechless.
Angele stopped thinking as Vapor's body was surrounded by some green strings. It looked like there were countless green fireflies flying around him but the energy waves he was releasing had already stabilized.
Angele only spent around 10 seconds doing the simulations and checking the data.
Finally, it seemed like Vapor's attack was fully charged and he could control the energy waves perfectly.
It felt like the air solidified.
In the city that was sinking into the ground, the wizards and mortals were holding their breaths; they wanted to know if Vapor could break through the barrier.
*CHI CHI CHI*
Vapor started slashing the air like crazy and the energy waves he released turned into a cross. More and more energy waves merged into the object; the eye-blinding light was getting intense. The cross almost looked like it was made of green crystal.
Strangely, the green cross also appeared on the surface of the barrier that was several hundred meters away from Vapor. The cross on the barrier was solidifying and the light it released was getting brighter and brighter.
It felt like that Vapor's sword pierced through the space and landed on the barrier.
"The Scar of Order!" Vapor shouted furiously. A shadow of a man with a pair of legs on his back appeared behind Vapor's body. It almost looked like the legs were the man's wings.
Angele noticed that there was more than one pair of legs on the man's back—there were more than ten pairs. The legs helped the man standing in the sky; he looked like a large spider with the body of a human being.
The man had a cold expression on the face, he charged at the green cross and disappeared into it.
"This is one of the sealed forms that was slain by me… Ha…" Vapor said as he looked at Angele.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to warn me?" Angele sneered as his right hand turned into a large black scorpion claw. He moved the claw slightly.
*Crack*
Black energy waves were released into the air.
"Well, if you think so."
Vapored turned his head around and slashed forward.
The sword only made some light noise in the air.
Suddenly, the cross on the barrier released some intense light that was brighter than the sunlight.
Angele had to blink his eyes after seeing the eye-blinding green light.
He could finally see the city inside the barrier after the light faded away.
The barrier above the city was not damaged, however, everything inside was destroyed. The buildings collapsed and the living beings turned into tiny red pieces of flesh. He did not even see the bones of the dead creatures; the only thing there was a land that was soaked in blood.
The barrier slowly disappeared; the mutated mortals charged into the city and started devouring the red flesh. Their power increased as they fed on the remains of the wizards and mortals inside the barrier.
Angele overlooked the sky from the far side. 'The city almost looked like a blender—everything inside was blended together.'
He also noticed that it seemed like Vapor was tired after the strike.
The strike dealt around 350000 to 400000 degrees of damage according to the data from the biochip. However, Vapor's ability was unique; it felt like his energy waves entered the barrier without breaking it.
'It's a strong ability, but it won't do anything to me. With the bloodline of single-eyed giant, my organs are as strong as my muscles."
The city already stopped sinking. Vapor charged toward the city and landed in its center. He slashed forward and removed the broken stone debris from the ground, revealing a golden portal.
The altar used to activate the portal had the shape of a cylinder and the gem slots on the altar were empty. It seemed like someone removed the gems ahead of time.
"Finally, this time the portal is still in one piece." Vapor walked to the altar and released some green smoke.
*CHI*
The smoke quickly sank into the altar.
Angele stood by the altar and waited quietly. The energy waves they released were so strong that the mutated mortals decided to stay away from them. The area was deadly silent.
Several minutes later.
"I found it!"
Vapor drew his sword and stabbed it into the ground.
*CHI*
A ball of golden glow appeared on the altar and the light covered Vapor.
Angele hesitated for a second and stepped into the golden ball.
He lost his balance for a second and heard some strange noises that were coming from all angles.
The golden light faded away and the remains of red buildings appeared.
The sky was dark but still blue. There were wizards in robes that varied in color floating in the sky. Most of them were injured and only a few of them looked like young.
The wizards gathered and there was a man with a pair of white wings beside them. The man was over 30 meters tall and his wings were swinging constantly.
Vapor was confronting the wizards in the sky but had not initiated the attack yet.
Angele glanced around and found no other living beings around. It seemed like he was teleported to a red building that was built on a random plain.
"That's all we have? Anyway, it seems like their souls are strong… Let's just finish them off." Vapor held the handle of the sword tight and licked his lips.
Desperation filled the wizards' eyes after they heard Vapor's words. The leaders of the wizards released unstable energy waves; it seemed like they were ready to kill themselves.
*CHI*
They suddenly heard some light noise.
The wizards recognized Angele after he appeared and thought Angele was their last straw.
"Green! Why… Why are you here?!" A silver bat left the wizard's team and looked at Angele. It seemed like the old bat could not believe his eyes.
"Huh?" Angele looked at the bat and his brow furrowed, he recognized the old bat immediately. The bat was one of the department heads of the Dark Wizard Tower.
The old bat realized that Angele was not going to help them and was not sure what else he should say.
Vapor heard the word and looked at Angele. "Phoenix, do you know this old guy? Should we let them go?"
Angele remained silent, he looked at the wizards. There were around 30 wizards here, including Duke Mystery. The other students of the old bat like Juventus and Dina. It seemed like those wizards had been hiding around for a while.
Juventus and Dina recognized Angele after hearing their teacher's words.
Angele glanced at the wizards.
"I opened the portal and I brought the sealed forms here. Do you still think I will help you?"
The bat, Juventus, and Dina were not sure how they should respond.
"We… We've already heard the truth… the Nightmare Realm would come sooner or later… It's not all your fault…" Juventus was speaking in a low voice. Angele doubted if Juventus knew what he was talking about.
"Yeah, it's not all your fault, it's our fate…"
"I'd probably do the same if I was you… There's nothing else you can do under that situation."
The other wizards noticed that it might be their chance to survive and started to agree with what Juventus just said. Wizards were selfish, they would do anything to survive. They had long life expectancy; none wanted to die.
Pride was nothing to them. If they could survive this time, they believed that time would resolve everything. Maybe one day they would forget about the incident too.
Angele blinked his eyes and his sight fell upon the old bat.
"It's true that the Department of Spells treated me well when I was part of the Dark Wizard Tower… Let them live and kill the rest…"
Vapor chuckled and tapped on his blade.
*DING*
The noise was crisp and charming.
The wizards suddenly stopped moving; they released multiple energy barriers—it seemed like they were being attacked by something invisible.
The light of the energy barriers faded and the wizards started groaning. Department of Spells' members were the only ones that survived, the rest of the wizards were sliced into pieces. However, one of the wizards turned himself into a silver string and escaped. Vapor was surprised by what the wizard just did.
"Damn!" Vapor cursed, he turned himself into green smoke and started chasing after the silver string.
It only took them seconds to disappear into the end of the horizon.
Angele looked at Juventus, Dina, and the old bat. They surrounded Duke Mystery in the middle, so Mystery survived as well.
"You can leave now," he spoke in a light tone, "I don't owe you anything anymore."
The old bat looked a bit depressed. "Suran Empire, Dark Wizard Tower, and White Wizard Tower… We're the only survivors…" He sighed and gave Angele one final glance. "Let's go."
Juventus and Dina looked tired, but they still bowed to Angele. They helped Mystery to walk and started moving in the opposite direction of Vapor. They were ashamed of what they did but that was the only choice they had. They disappeared into the sky seconds later, leaving no trace behind.
Angele waved his hand but nothing happened.
"Alright, Vapor absorbed all the souls." Shaking his head, Angele flicked his finger. A lot of smoke appeared in the air and started moving to Angele.
The negative emotions were quickly purified and absorbed by Angele.
Angele looked at the direction where Vapor was moving to after absorbing all the negative emotions.
"Whatever, Vapor killed everything in the blink of an eye, so there's not a lot of negative emotions around. He absorbed all the souls, which means that he did not want to share anything with me. This place is worthless to me now and the Dark Wizard Tower is not a threat anymore. I should head back."
Angele made sure the old bat was no longer in the area. He then turned around and disappeared into a ball of flames.
