Mystical Journey

Chapter 1348: Confidence 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Roc-feathered Angel was one of the most famous Summoned Creatures in the Heavens. It was known for its power and gentle nature but another key factor of its reputation was its extremely close-knit relationship with upright Wizards. One of the famous spells in low-level Spellcrafting that was called the Roc-feathered Angel’s Eye was researched collaboratively by the Wizards and these creatures.

“Damn Abyss aura! I’ve fallen for it!!”

This Roc-feathered Angel appeared irritated immediately after being summoned out. Although the Abyss aura here was isolated by a Matrix, it could still be detected by his keen senses.

This fellow was holding a silvery white flail in his hands. The wings on his back flapped a few times and made popping noises while he glared ferociously at the White Dragon that had properly released a Matrix already.

“Evil White Dragon...”

Garen ignored his words. He wanted to thoroughly research Energy Draining Spells but its main difficulty was to clarify the concepts of the supposed levels towards living creatures. He needed to know the types of beings that were used as indicators to differentiate between them.

The first part of the Energy Draining Spell’s effects was to decrease its opponent’s level for 24 hours. The toughness of their Vitality would be evaluated once again during the next part before the Energy Draining Spell would erupt in a one-time erosion. If the opponent could not endure it, their level would decrease by one grade permanently.

This was the most terrifying part.

Powerful pursuing and killing abilities were the best match for Energy Draining Spells because it would not spare one’s opponent any time to stop for their wounds to recuperate.

Thus, even if their opponents did not die, their skin would still molt extremely disgustingly.

Garen curled and uncurled his claws while looking at the Roc-feathered Angel inside the Matrix that did not seem afraid of him at all.

“I should dissect it first...” He felt somewhat nostalgic towards his old self from the previous Totem World. This feeling was slightly similar to his past.

He walked towards the Matrix slowly while harboring a tinge of reminiscence.

**********************

Time passed little by little.

More than a decade had passed in the blink of an eye... Major changes had also occurred throughout the entire situation.

The Void Crevices had also increased. It seemed as though the normal masses on the Primary Plane had also discovered their presence and the existence of Void Creatures.

Meanwhile, since the church of the Gods could not be concealed either, they simply proceeded to make it public in an attempt to encourage everyone to participate in the Void Creature hunting movement.

Certain violent Void Creatures engaged in massacres wantonly and slaughtered the regular masses while causing extreme fear among the populace.

However, massacres brought about power throughout both sides. This applied to everyone regardless of whether they were Void Creatures or the common people of this world. This was an internal strife between these two great worlds that left to leeway for compromise.

Several normal Warriors suddenly felt as if various aspects of their bodily strength and physical fitness had rapidly increased after they had killed a Void Creature by a fluke. They were instantly pleasantly surprised.

It would not have been a big deal if these instances had only occurred once. However, it caused a great stir suddenly when this phenomenon happened numerous times.

Large-scale spontaneous Void Creature encircling and suppressing movements were launched.

Both sides were engaged in a mutual massacre where there were no rights or wrongs but only their yearning and greed for power.

As more than a decade of slaughtering and conflict passed, certain forces and beings with powerful abilities gradually became well-known during the battles.

Among the Gods, more than ten Gods died consecutively as if they were meteors that fell from the sky after the first Middle God passed away. These Gods were quickly replaced by powerful and terrifying beings from the Void.

There were three representatives that could move forward in this world and live as comfortably as the Void Creatures as well.

Eye of the Slaughter had divided himself to spread all over the major planes. After the terrifying Demon Master Level creatures that were encircled all along had devoured four Gods consecutively, their powers then swelled to seemingly unstoppable levels. When they had finally personally fought Mother of Nature in a major battle, they were later injured terribly by Fehra. After escaping by the skin of their teeth, they decided to lie low. Nonetheless, they had successfully accomplished extremely terrifying military exploits.

Mother of Nature was also badly injured before she fell into a state of deep slumber. This was simply a situation where both sides suffered!!

This incident greatly shocked all of the Gods in this world. They became even more anxious and cautious while encountering Void Creatures.

Distortion Demon Master.

After leading her pets to cause havoc throughout Meteor City and destroying Fehra’s Divine Statue, she could still escape unscathed. Next, she devoured all of the lives within an entire great empire in the east. The numerous Demon Masters among her subordinates became the nominal leaders of the Mother Stream Alliance. They occupied the domain of that empire directly before repelling the Pantheon’s Holy War army many times. They were currently embroiled in a fierce fight.

This throne had foreshadowed a conclusion that involved a seemingly infinite number of corpses and souls.

There was also the Fallen True Soul in the end. The body of this individual who was the strongest True Soul among the Ancient Endorian True Souls had stretched over several planes. Moreover, there were numerous True Soul powerhouses among her subordinates whose powers were at strong Divine Power grades at least. After ambushing one of the vast mountain ranges in the south with lightning speed, they occupied it as their territory. Their organization was called Void Temple. The formation of their members was extremely complicated but their overall forces were much stronger than that of the Mother Stream Alliance. However, their social order was chaotic and there were no restrictions. Thus, the True Souls started wars unscrupulously on their own.

These three powerhouses were terrifying mainstays that rapidly emerged prominently within a decade of the war. They had opened up numerous Void Crevices and led in an almost inexhaustible amount of Void Creatures that were currently embroiled in a fierce battle with the local original inhabitants of this world.

The powerful beings that had accumulated in the Void after numerous years were seemingly uncountable. Moreover, the strength that was accumulated from their massacres had achieved the peak level of the mortal world whereby they could not advance anymore. They required a greater amount of various types of Inspirations and breakthroughs.

Thus, the high-ranking forces such as the Primary Plane of this local world and the Mountain of Heavens of the Upper Plane had gradually fallen into a declining state.

Their territory gradually fell into their enemy’s hands step by step. The Pantheon forces that were led by Fehra shrunk back at every step.

The situation was momentarily unusually far from good.

Meanwhile, Garen sheltered himself in Vengeance Fortress during this ten-year duration to improve his accumulation slowly but steadily.

His Poisonous Eye had already successfully fused with the Energy Draining Spell while his power had upgraded itself to the next level to reach Level Fourteen.

Meanwhile, Garen had successfully extracted a drop of the Purgatory power’s essence while researching the forces in the Planes. This was a huge advancement in the aspect of biological modifications.

His body had also healed to a completely healthy state as well because Fehra’s previous curse had disappeared fully. Moreover, the Pearl of the Temple’s Soul Ring had also fused into his body’s composition completely too. This allowed Garen’s seventh Soul Ring to turn orange successfully. He had entered the second phase of the Seven Colors Phase. He could advance to the Upper Demon King Level as long as he entered the next stage.

Once his Arcane Technique was upgraded to Level Nine, Garen used his Potential Points, to accumulate an abundance of knowledge and techniques in an extremely short span of time. He made rapid progress in the Space-Time and Plane aspects.

Additionally, his Draconic Aura had achieved Level Ten even quicker due to the Demonic Book’s practices, Level Nine Arcane Technique, and his own powerful Poisonous Eye and terrifying physical fitness.

Without the Space-Time Spell’s restriction shortcomings, Garen integrated powers had already entered Level Fourteen successfully now.

However, he did not reveal them inside Vengeance Fortress. Meanwhile, Seven Lives moving about outside all along during these years. He took the Semi-Divine Weapon Despair Skull and absorbed Potential Points everywhere.

Most of these Potential Points were used to upgrade his Arcane Technique research and Draconic Aura.

The average beings including Upper Level Demon Kings that wanted to increase their Draconic Aura, Arcane Techniques, and physical fitness to this level needed at least a few hundred or even a thousand years to be able to do so if they did not have the help of Potential Points. However, Garen was different... This was his advantage.

Thus, no one knew even until now that Garen had actually successfully entered the level of peak powerhouses in the mortal world already.

Aside from him, the other beings did not seem to be making any progress. It was almost impossible to even dream of obtaining any obvious improvements within such a short time of merely a decade or slightly more.

Andrew was the only one who could barely upgrade to Level Eleven. However, it was obvious that he had become increasingly exhausted as it continued.

Garen gave him another Semi-Divine that he had obtained from trading. Since that Semi-Divine Weapon was basically used for attacking, Garen was not interested in it at all. His strongest asset was his own body and he did not need the support of a Divine Weapon in any way.

After he had achieved Level Fourteen overall, Garen began to set about preparing for his Void Original Opus to be upgraded.

However, several surprises finally appeared in his smooth sailing life at this time.

*********************

“Someone has been spreading rumors that there are Void Creatures among my subordinates?” Garen narrowed his dragon eyes while looking at the other core members below him with a somewhat pondering gaze.

Andrew, the Level Eleven Undead Knight had only been transferred to the position of an Undead recently. This fellow’s pursuit of strength had already reached an insane degree. The Semi-Divine Weapon called Sword of Nuhas that he carried on his back was an overpowered Greatsword that possessed Soul Intimidation abilities. This was also the present that the Black Fish King had given Garen while trading with him.

The General that was successfully promoted by the White Feather Squadron was called Mander but his last name was unknown. Perhaps he had another identity but Garen was unconcerned. This man whose face could not be seen clearly because he was constantly shrouded in a black robe was so mysterious that some people even feared him.

He was currently the captain of the White Feather Squadron.

Next up were the president and vice president of the small-scale association called Cold Winter Claw. This association was established by the two Abominable Snowman ringleaders that had arrived at the fortress initially. Through Garen’s support, these two Level Twelve Abominable Snowmen managed to quickly draw in a large crowd of upscale mercenaries and Abyss Demons including their enemies the Bartoyen Demons. These beings who were their members had one similarity which was their love for slaughtering and their bloodthirsty nature.

Finally, there were the three Chiefs of White Dragon Mountain, the Demon-Hag tribe, and the Corpse Monster Party organizations who were all powerful beings between Level Eleven to Level Fourteen.

These were half of Vengeance Fortress’ forces that Garen was currently controlling.

Aside from Garen, no one knew that the Demon-Hag tribe, Corpse Monster Party, and one of the Abominable Snowmen among the group of powerhouses in front of him were actually Void Creature parasitic bodies.

Despite being a Level Fourteen being, Garen outward manifestations were only at Level Twelve all this while. Although he had the help of the Wizard Tower, his Arcane Technique level was not considered high. Moreover, since he had never revealed his great Spellcrafting powers, he had gradually faded from everyone’s memories.

Cold Winter Tower looked more like an ornamental building instead of a Wizard Tower that was high above the masses.

“There are no Void Creatures among my subordinates. As the head, I would naturally know this matter best...” said Garen flatly. “It’s obvious that someone is trying to give me additional trouble by spreading these rumors at a crucial time like this when Void Creatures are our main enemies...”

“However, people have been spreading information and saying that an extremely powerful Void Creature is hiding inside your Wizard Tower, Commander. Someone personally witnessed her flying inside before disappearing completely...”

The White Dragon Mountain Emissary had an unfriendly look on his face when he spoke. The Void Crevice had caused a large number of deaths in White Dragon Mountain while two of the Elders that they had sent were assassinated at the same time. Moreover, their souls were even offered as sacrifices. Tiamat was so furious that she sent an oracle so that Garen would cooperate with all his might and investigate. However, Garen had declined.

Everyone could see that there was something wrong with Garen because of this as he had the audacity to refuse the Dragon Goddess’ oracle. Any other White Dragon who was in his place would have probably been divinely punished instantly. However, Ann who was behind Garen caused Tiamat to be too afraid to charge into the fortress directly.

Lady Vengeance was overseeing that place. The high-level beings were actually already aware of the relationship between her and Ann.

Almost everyone assumed that Garen was only so confident because he was relying on Ann. However, no one knew that he was actually relying on Deception Demon Master who was hiding in his Wizard Tower.

This woman’s powers were completely indeterminate now. Was she a Demigod? Perhaps a Lower God? Garen could not tell either. He merely knew that another day that Deception Demon Master existed was another day that he could borrow her power.

He was confident enough to face any force as long as he had this relationship.

Moreover, it looked like Deception Demon Master was planning to use him as a form of protection so that she could develop herself in the Abyss for a longer period...
