‘That’s why they keep others away from this area. However, they are so weak that it’s nearly pointless to live for so long!’ Angele glanced at the eye of the storm one final time and walked to Sylva.
“What’re you trying to do?!” Sylva was scared, and tried to move away from Angele. However, Angele stepped on her ankle and stopped her from moving.
“Kid, don’t provoke someone that is stronger than you the next time.” Angele grabbed Sylva’s neck and lifted her up like a chicken. He threw Sylva out of the airship and she quickly disappeared into the clouds.
Angele could hear Sylva screaming in the air.
The airship was traveling at full speed. The red light around its hull left a long trail in the air, and the airship quickly disappeared.
In the humongous eye of the storm, the gray tornado was still rotating slowly. A humongous face appeared around the tornado, formed by countless white clouds.
The face watched the airship leave the area and stared at the red trail it left behind. The face sighed and slowly disappeared into the eye of the storm.
“He’s too strong. We should never bother him again.” A calm male voice came from the eye of the storm.
The two captains that were still going after the airship heard those words and exchanged eye contact. They slowly stopped above the clouds with the storm elementals. They looked at the red trail and felt a bit confused.
“Well, it seems like the Lord thinks that the man is stronger than all of us…” the male captain spoke in a low voice.
The rest of the storm elementals remained silent; they were holding their fists so tight that their nails almost stabbed into their palms. The atmosphere here was heavy.
“Retreat!” The female captain waved her hand and returned to the eye of the storm.
****************************
Several days later.
A group of three-headed eagles was surrounded by red light. They were burnt black and started falling like dumplings. Hundreds of eagles died within seconds, and the rest of them was trying to escape.
In the blue airship, Angele gathered the red glow and glanced at the eagles. He stepped forward and the airship changed the direction.
….
Several more days passed.
A blue airship that was traveling at full speed passed by a brown airship.
The snake lizards around the brown airship were quickly eliminated by the red glow around the blue airship. They were burnt black and their dead bodies started falling.
The apprentices and the knights on the deck of the brown airship were still fighting the snake lizards when the red glow killed the snake lizards. They were confused and had no idea what’d just happened.
An old woman with a long staff in hands looked at the leaving blue airship and bowed to it slightly.
She cast a spell and looked at the airship. However, she only saw that it was a man in a purple long robe who just saved them.
…
Angele traveled at full speed in the next ten days. He did not stop for one second. With his power, the speed of the airship was increasing constantly.
Angele’s true form had the same power as a rank 8 wizard; however, with the power from the mark on his back, the power of his true form was increasing like crazy. It almost seemed like there was no limitation.
A top-level rank 8 wizard was just one step away from becoming an ancestor. However, increasing his power alone would not help him break through the limit as that was not the only requirement for someone to become an ancestor. Ancestors represented endless power and the origins of the realms.
The power of his refined true form might break the barrier if he decided to keep all the power inside his body, so he decided to release some of his power naturally. The realm power would help him weaken the extra power he released—that was how he kept the balance.
Angele knew that he would be able to utilize his rank 8 power without the barrier one day. However, he had the feeling that he needed to restrict the power of his true form. Angele doubted if his current physical form and soul could handle the terrifying power.
He would release as much power as possible when he had the chance, so he eliminated any mutated creatures or threats he encountered on the way. The high-temperature field of the Son of Sun was extremely helpful.
The high-temperature field would consume a lot of energy if he increased the range and temperature field of the aura to a certain level. The high energy consumption helped him slow down the growth of his true form.
Several days passed again.
Angele overlooked the area below and finally found the Gem Sea. The Gem Sea was nice and blue, it looked like a large piece of sapphire reflecting the intense sunlight.
Angele looked at the sea; there were mixed emotions going through his mind. He tapped on the deck and the airship started moving to the landing area of the west coast.
“Finally… I’m back…”
**************************
Somewhere in the Gem Sea.
There were three humongous dead bodies of horned whales floating on the water. The fresh blood almost turned the whole area red.
A tall man with a translucent body was standing on top of a dead whale’s horn.
The man’s eyes were closed and there was a gray corona floating behind his back. The strange needle on the corona released a small ball of black shadow, which was pointing at the sky.
Suddenly, the shadow ball started rotating at full speed and made some strange noises. The needle started spinning as well. Several seconds later, the needle suddenly stopped and pointed to the northwest.
The man opened his eyes and his blue pupils retracted slightly.
“Finally, the man who took the key from me returned…”
More than ten small faces appeared on his face. Their ages and gender varied.
“We noticed that too… The one who took the Shadow Key from us…”
“Kill him! Kill him!”
“I’m so hungry…”
“Take the key back so we can control the hourglass!”
“Time will prove that you’re wrong!”
The faces were shouting and yelling. They were just saying random things. Some of them sounded crazy, some of the sounded angry, and some of them sounded anxious.
“Enough…” the man spoke in a light tone. “Time has proven that I’m correct. Can’t you feel my power? I’m much stronger than before. This is the power of the time!”
The human faces slowly disappeared from the man’s face and everything returned to normal.
“Time has proven that I’m correct. I’ll never be wrong…” He glanced at the area on the right.
*CHI*
His body suddenly disappeared into the sky. It almost felt like he had never been here.
About half an hour later.
On the right side of the horned whales, two middle-aged men suddenly appeared on the water, both wearing black robes. They looked scared.
“Finally, they’re gone. I’m glad that he didn’t notice us. This crazy bastard is from the east. I wonder why he’s here,” one of them spoke in a low voice.
“I don’t know… He’s from the Axis of Time, and most of their members are bloodsucking monsters. These wizards are crazy and no one knows what they want,” the other man responded.
“However, it seems like he’s heading to the west. Don’t tell me he’s going back to the land…”
“If he really goes to the land, it’ll be a big problem. I think he can destroy the west coast just by himself.”
Worried, they exchanged eye contact.
*************************
In the Gem Sea.
A blue airship was falling from the sky above the sea and quickly hit the surface of the water hard.
*BAM*
The airship was more than 100 meters long, and created a lot of white waves. The water was blown into the air and splashed everywhere. It felt like rain.
The front of the airship was already in the water, and the airship was sinking slowly. Angele was wearing a long purple robe and his face was covered by a purple mask; only his red eyes were exposed to the air. He was standing on the deck.
Angele leaped forward and floated in the air. He quickly drew several runes in the sky using the right hand.
“Abis!” he chanted an incantation and stopped his body from falling. “Abis” meant “Float” in the universal language.
Angele lowered his head and glanced at the sinking airship. He then turned to the left and looked at the golden beach with coconut trees on it.
He leaned forward and started flying to the beach. It took him about half a minute to land on the beach.
“Where am I? I traveled too fast; I think I missed the normal parking area.”
Raising his hand, he slowly drew a red circle in the air. Two patterns that looked like the sun and the moon flashed in the circle. After the patterns disappeared, a translucent face of an old man appeared.
“I haven’t cast normal spells in a while… It’s just like the old days…” Angele looked at the face and pursed his lips in a smile. It was a normal spell that could guide him in the correct direction. It was a spirit created with the nearby mud and water. He just needed to ask questions, and they would be answered right away.
“Where’s the Ramsoda Empire?” Angele questioned in a light voice.
The old man hesitated for a second and responded, “The ships that passed by all headed in that direction.”
The old man looked at the coconut trees on the right.
“Understood.”
Angele waved his hand and the translucent face quickly disappeared.
“If the entrance is at the Ramsoda school. I just need to reach the Ramsoda Empire. Also, I should visit the city. Timos and that little girl passed away years ago, but I wonder if their families are still around…”
Angele shook his head and chuckled.
“Why I’m thinking about all my old friends suddenly?” He leaped into the air and disappeared into a ball of flames. It was the elemental teleportation. He traveled hundreds of meters within seconds and entered the coconut forest.
