Chapter 98 Old Rival

Mora, the Lord of Faith in the Moli'ai Icefield, the Lord of Souls that sustain life, all must die for her, and she must also die for the honor of her people.

The octopus coughed up a mouthful of sticky stuff and spat it into the sky. Wherever Elsa flew, the sticky stuff followed.

It can also extend tentacles that are tens of meters long, each with a blood-red eye, and they will grow back quickly no matter how the ice blade cuts them.

The Celestials can use Mora and Blood Soup to control their followers and turn them into the wizards' subordinates, so the Celestials must also be related to the wizards.

The octopus head only followed Elsa's magic, completely ignoring Billis.

Judging from the tentacled and slime attacks it just used, this guy's attack methods are much weaker compared to those of a traditional wizard.

"Aisha, watch out for its void magic!"

Just as Billis had predicted, a new energy began to gather in the room, with the coffee table, wine barrels, barbecue grill, and bowls all converging in the same direction.

A black hole could be vaguely seen gradually forming, growing larger and larger, with an increasingly strong suction force, until eventually, matter from all directions could not escape.

Ice has no effect on void magic, which is a kind of spatial teleportation ability; black holes may lead to the wizard's lair.

Elsa tried to cleave the black hole with her ice blade, but even if it was broken for a short while, it would quickly come back together.

If it's not stopped soon, this black hole might devour everyone in the room.

Billy summoned the golem Mark.

This guy, who could be considered an old rival, has a natural attraction to wizards.

As if they had known each other for a long time, the octopus head aimed the void magic at the golem.

The Mark Golem evolved rapidly, developing the ability to replicate itself in the void. Matter from the black hole was absorbed in reverse, turning the golem itself into a magnet that absorbed everything.

Everything in the room was stuck upside down on the golem, making it look like a giant hedgehog.

The octopus head had no choice but to change its magic, summoning shadow monsters from the void.

Dense dark claws climbed up the golem, trying to drag it into the void. However, they had only climbed a little higher when they soon revealed rosy tendons, with red veins trembling slightly, looking like a palette of varying shades of color.

Losing their dark claws is like a vampire seeing sunlight—instantly turning to dust.

Golem Mark is the bane of magic; despite the octopus head's best efforts, Mark countered every single one of its attacks.

If magic attacks are ineffective, then use physical attacks.

The octopus's throbbing tentacles seemed to be thinking, proving that it was a truly intelligent creature.

Something unexpected happened: the tentacles retracted from the nasal cavity, the head swelled up like a balloon, and eight ribs extended from the spine on the back. These eight ribs were at least twice the length of a human arm.

He actually became a fast-moving void spider!

Since it's a spider, it must be able to spin silk.

In no time, the room was covered with spider silk. Mark tried to fly out, but the spider silk was incredibly tough, trapping the golem on the wall like an insect.

Every time Elsa cuts a thread, she replaces it with another; the speed at which she makes ice is slower than the speed at which she spins silk.

Just as he was about to become the spider's meal, Billis's consciousness suddenly entered a time portal.

Why did the golem open the portal at this time? And this time the portal lasted for a very short time. Before it could even see history, the portal pushed Billis's consciousness out again.

He could actually see the octopus's state from just a few minutes ago.

Shouldn't this guy have turned into a spider? Why does he still have an octopus face?

Looking up at the sky, Elsa's direction seemed off, and the scene in the house reverted to what it had been a few minutes earlier.

While targeting its enemies, Golem Mark also developed a new function from the portal: time reversal.

Even though it only takes a few minutes to go back, that's enough!

"Elsa! Freeze his head! We can't let him deform!"

"Elsa understands!"

The octopus's head was about to expand when it was struck by a beam of white light and instantly frozen.

However, the spine had begun to deform, with eight ribs protruding from the chest. Just as it was about to burst through the skin, an arrow of light pierced the heart, and the part below the head was shattered into pieces.

Mia was teleported to the scene in time via Lisa's Hell Gate.

Because the octopus's head was still intact, its body quickly grew back.

"Biris! Aisha! Come with me!"

"Maybe the three of us can give it another try!"

"It's too late, look at him!"

The octopus head that regained its body was quite different from the spider it had imagined; instead, it transformed into a third form: a mummy.

A wizard in his full form has been born!

The magic surged explosively, and the void energy from the universe above gradually devoured the house, turning the black hole-like land into a planet.

Even the golem Mark, known for its defense, was no match for the wizard and had no choice but to jump into the portal.

The wizard seemed to fear the hellfire and did not give chase.

The Gates of Hell teleported them to a fairly complete building that resembled an arrow tower. On the top floor was a watchtower that jutted outwards, looking like the face of a troll. On the watchtower was an ebony wooden table covered with hacking equipment used by special agents.

The brazier beside me, though the flames were gone, still emitted crackling and popping sounds.

Torches are stuck high on the rock walls of the arrow tower, and the smoldering torches prove that people have always lived here, but the owner of the house is now nowhere to be found.

Lisa was intently working on the computer.

Upon meeting Lisa, Billis didn't mention that he had lost to the wizard three times. Instead, he went over the entire plan again.

Since we know that the formation of wizards is related to the Celestials, then Mora might also be a wizard, and the Celestials could issue commands to their followers through Mora.

In other words, the act of sabotaging the satellite was actually caused by people in space.

"Find Mora! I'll teach him a lesson!"

It's rare to see Billy clench his fists and lose his temper.

Lisa asked, "Has the hidden camera I gave you come in handy?"

"It came in handy. When I left, I stuck it to one of my followers. Now, if you turn on the tracker, you should be able to see the wizard."

Lisa connected the tracker to the display screen.

On the black screen, a small red dot appeared, and a body covered with serrated stripes blocked the screen, pressing down and making soft moaning sounds.

“Biris! Where did you throw the camera?” Lisa’s eyes were red.

"Perhaps it got thrown onto one of the servants."

"You really did put it on her after the retreat?"

I swear to God!

More and more people were getting things done on the screen, and eventually they all piled up on her, as if everyone had to go through this procedure every day.

Moreover, they were all strong pagans, as if they were playing a game with a turkey that was upside down.

Lisa quickly turned off the screen.

It's unclear how much time passed, but Lisa only reactivated the tracker after the perfectly round star had set.

The heretics finally got the job done.

The servants, carrying torches, entered a passageway devoid of rock, surrounded by ice crystals. The wind whipped at their clothes, making it seem cold enough.

The passageway widened, and ahead was indeed an ice cave. Many cracks appeared on the ice walls, and the larger cracks were just big enough for a person to pass through.

Several adjacent fissures form a prime number, starting from five, arranged up to thirty-seven, and then starting again from five, and so on in a cycle.

These are definitely not naturally formed; some civilization must have left their mark on these ice walls. Most of the cracks are ancient, while some are very new, less than a year old.

The passageway had thirty-seven bends, a prime number. The maid had already passed the thirty-seventh bend, and the sight before her was astonishing.

It turns out that the ice cave wasn't a real ice cave, but rather a city gate composed of some huge building complex!

The attendant is currently at the entrance to an ancient ruin. There is still ice above the entrance, but most people cannot see that high at night. It is dark and cold, square and almost perpendicular to the passageway they just passed. This is clearly another masterpiece of an unknown civilization.

This is roughly what it feels like to go from Lilliput to Brobdingnag.

It's impossible for such a small species to design such a tall building. Could it be Hyperion?

As the pinhole camera is moved forward, a rapidly sloping slope appears in the image, resembling a giant crater created by a meteorite impact, giving the impression that an ancient city has vanished from the map.

Such a massive complex appears so small in the face of the giant pit, which shows how great its former owner must have been.

The female attendant bypassed the giant pit and continued forward. Just as she passed a patch of transformed flat land, a mass of void matter swallowed her up.

The void arrived so quickly that she couldn't even tell when it came; it was as if she were riding a speeding train, and the ice above her head had vanished.

The tracker signal was not interrupted, meaning the maid was still alive.

Just as the image rose above the clouds, a gust of wind blew up from below the arrow tower where the agent was located, interfering with the signal.

The wind was visible to the naked eye, and it was rather strange, containing a cloud of dark matter.
