Chapter 2390 Nisi’s Goal <TOC> Chapter 2392 Law Ripples
Translator: SumTLMan
“Is Nausica okay?”
As soon as Nisi landed, he was greeted by Angel’s inquiry. His forehead, creased with wrinkles, furrowed even more as he responded with a tone of dissatisfaction and resentment, “The moment I arrive, you ask about that young girl. Is there really nothing going on between you two? Why don’t you ever show concern for me?”
Angel remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, “You are already here in front of me.”
Nisi replied, “…I took Nausica to where Cindy and the others are. It’s relatively safe there.”
Hearing Cindy’s name, Firo, who was nearby, seemed to recall something, “So, you went to the rocky reef island. How are Cindy and the others doing?”
Nisi glared at him irritably, “Now you ask about them. You’re supposed to be the team’s wizard leader, and you left them there without saying a word. And now you have the nerve to ask.”
Firo gave a sheepish smile, “Didn’t I leave the login device with Cindy? And besides, you found your way there, didn’t you?”
Nisi snorted in disdain, choosing to ignore Firo.
Upon learning that Nausica was safe, Angel felt a slight relief and began to inquire about the External Ally Nisi mentioned, “Didn’t you say you requested external help?”
As he spoke, Angel glanced behind Nisi… only to find no one there.
Nisi had returned alone.
On the other hand, when Angel mentioned “external ally,” Nisi’s aged face crumpled like a budding daisy, clearly displeased.
With a tone of helplessness and resentment, Nisi said, “Usually, the Savage Grottoes are bustling, but today, I didn’t encounter a single soul! This time, I’ve really suffered a great loss.”
Not encountering anyone and yet talking about a loss puzzled Angel, who looked at Nisi, waiting for an explanation.
Nisi sighed and began to share the entire process of seeking help in the Wilderness of Dreams with Angel.
After logging in, he first tried to contact acquaintances through the Mother Tree Network. His primary target was Sanders. Sanders was not only his friend but also because Angel was here, Nisi thought he could persuade Sanders to help by mentioning Angel’s predicament, possibly even reducing the cost of assistance.
Unfortunately, Sanders was offline.
Apart from Sanders, the true knowledge wizards he knew who were online included Gloria, Sumesh, and Iron Armor Granny.
Gloria hadn’t recovered her full strength and might not even be able to defeat him, making her unsuitable as external ally; Sumesh was severely injured and hadn’t fully recovered yet.
And Iron Armor Granny… ever since Lord Rhine left, she had become the main force guarding the Star Pool ruins and couldn’t leave.
Therefore, Nisi, in the end, found not a single external ally he sought.
Having no other choice, Nisi could only turn to Tree Spirit. Naturally, he wasn’t asking Tree Spirit to become an external ally but rather to find out which true knowledge wizards were currently in the Savage Grottoes.
“According to Tree Spirit, there are still three true knowledge wizards remaining in the Savage Grottoes. However, all three of them are in seclusion, some for several years now, making it impossible to disturb them,” Nisi said, shaking his head. “But even if they weren’t in seclusion, given their age and strength, they wouldn’t be much help. I estimate they wouldn’t even be able to defeat your Eremy.”
“The true knowledge wizards in the Savage Grottoes who could be of help are just those few, excluding your mentor. Currently, in the Southern Region, only Horus and Ivannasha have sufficient strength.”
“However, both of them are not in the Savage Grottoes at the moment, and they probably don’t even know of the existence of the Wilderness of Dreams, so they can’t be of help.”
Angel had met Horus, the true knowledge wizard known as “Cold Winter Sovereign,” whose reputation was by no means inferior to Sanders. Because Angel became a member of the Research Institute, and Rhine wanted to establish a connection between the Savage Grottoes and Sky Mechanical City in a short period, he was sent to reside in Sky Mechanical City. Currently, he would likely be unaware of the Wilderness of Dreams.
As for Ivannasha, Angel had heard of her title, “Enveloping Sound,” a sonic witch. As for other information, he was not too familiar.
Perhaps sensing Angel’s confusion, Nisi briefly introduced Ivannasha’s background: “Ivannasha is an old witch, said to be of the same generation as Lord Rhine. One specializes in control, and the other in offense, and at that time, they were even referred to as the Twin Stars. When I came to the Savage Grottoes, Ivannasha had already become a true knowledge witch. However, she rarely stays in the Savage Grottoes, always stationed in the City of Truth as a representative. I remember the last time she returned was twenty or thirty years ago.”
“Since they’re not here, who was the last external ally you requested?” Angel curiously asked. Since Nisi mentioned he had “suffered a great loss” this time, it indicated he must have still managed to find an external ally. Angel was curious, aside from these known true knowledge wizards, who else Nisi had invited?
Nisi sighed, “It was someone Tree Spirit recommended… well, he has already arrived, and you will soon know who it is. And you should not be unfamiliar with him.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard a tearing sound from above.
With the appearance of the tearing sound, the surrounding fog began to churn wildly, and at the same time, the fog was dissipating at a visible rate.
Although more fog filled in, the rate of dissipation was faster than the rate of replenishment, and suddenly, a clear patch appeared above them.
They could even faintly see the dark clouds in the sky.
Such a view is extremely rare in the Mist Belt.
Because of the dissipation of the fog, everyone could also see what was happening above.
A spatial rift appeared a hundred meters in the sky, pitch black inside, with a large amount of fog, due to this sudden opening, swirling into it, which was also the reason for the dissipation of the fog above.
Upon witnessing the spatial rift, everyone immediately understood it to be a planar passage.
Angel and Firo glanced at Nisi, seeking confirmation with their eyes whether this planar passage was the external ally he had requested.
Nisi nodded, saying, “I gave him the coordinates here, and Tree Spirit provided him with my blood. Thus, I have also become an anchor for his tracking. If he comes, the location opened by the planar passage will be near me.”
Indeed, the spatial rift formed by the planar passage was directly above Nisi. Undoubtedly, the other party must have used Nisi as a spatial anchor.
The newcomer must be the external ally Nisi mentioned.
Who could it be? While Angel speculated about the identity of the newcomer, he also observed the spatial rift above.
The rift appeared as a dark, uneven hole torn in a steel wall, not particularly large and somewhat mottled, lacking a fixed “shape.”
To the uninitiated, this irregular spatial rift might seem unstable, but those present were no novices. The shape of the spatial rift might not be aesthetically pleasing, but it did not affect the stability of the surrounding space in the slightest. The space energy emanating from it was so thin that one could hardly confirm the presence of spatial fragmentation without close examination.
This indicated that, without visual observation, merely sensing the energy would make it difficult to detect someone’s imminent arrival.
At least, the individual in the Fire Law Land, designated as Number 03, would definitely be unaware of someone crossing space to arrive.
Such a relatively hidden passage, which almost does not affect the stability of the surrounding space, was something Angel admitted he could not achieve. This sufficiently demonstrated that the newcomer had rich experience in manipulating space.
This also indirectly indicated that the newcomer was no ordinary individual.
“A true knowledge wizard I know?” Angel murmured to himself, quickly flipping through images in his mind, trying to identify the possible external ally.
As Angel pondered, a humanoid silhouette had already appeared behind the spatial rift.
It seemed that the person was about to emerge at any moment.
However, just as the figure was about to step out of the rift, a familiar roaring sound came from afar.
This time, Angel heard it very clearly; the roar indeed contained a deep, beastly moan, confirming he hadn’t been hallucinating before… However, at this moment, the beastly moan was not the focus the focus was——
“Bad news, the fluctuation is coming! Don’t come out, go back to the void! Go back!” Nisi shouted towards the rift in the sky with a look of horror.
But Nisi’s shout did not reach the other party. Instead, a foot adorned with an upturned, clown-boot-like blue patterned wizard’s boot stepped out of the void first.
Following that, an elder wearing a wizard robe embroidered with orchid and moon patterns emerged halfway from the void.
But as he emerged halfway through the spatial rift, the roaring sound from the direction of the Nest, carrying a clearly visible rolling fluctuation, swept towards them.
At this moment, Angel and the others dared not move, only able to watch as the fluctuation engulfed the rift in mid-air.
Now, all they could do was silently pray in their hearts, hoping the fluctuation would not affect the planar passage…
However, prayers were of no avail.
The planar passage, under the onslaught of the raging winds, began to contract and deform wildly. The once perfect control over space started to crumble under the relentless law fluctuations.
At this moment, only the power of the Fire Law Land, a force of law and line, could stand unyielding in the fluctuation.
All other powers were shattered, including the planar passage.
The “external ally” at this time happened to poke out half of their body, unable to move under the scouring of the fluctuation, with the planar passage on the brink of breaking.
Under such circumstances, the destructive force when the void breaks was enough to tear the “external ally” in two.
Everyone could hardly bear to witness the scene.
Reynolds even closed his eyes.
At this time, the “external ally” high in the sky also realized the dire situation, his face suddenly turning pale.
“Damn you, Nisi, to think you’d trick me!” After cursing, the “external ally” had no choice but to face the imminent peril.
Time waits for no one, and the spatial rift was about to shatter. Biting down hard, the “external ally” made a decision.
He bit down hard, and a strange shadow floated out from his body. This shadow stood firm outside the rift in mid-air.
Then, it’s unclear what he did, but the shadow’s body became solid, while the flesh in the spatial rift dried up and thinned like dehydrated.
Finally, the shadow solidified into a real body, while the original body turned into a thin piece of paper cutout.
As the spatial rift shattered, the paper cutout that bridged the void and reality also broke into tiny pieces, scattered by the fluctuation in all directions.
The “external ally” in the sky, having reconstituted a physical body, narrowly escaped the death sentence of spatial fragmentation, heaving a long sigh of relief.
However, he forgot that he was still in the midst of the fluctuation.
Without any support in the high sky and unable to use other energies, he screamed in horror and fell in free fall, creating a large crater on the ground…
As the dust dispersed and the fluctuation began to subside, a voice emerged: “Huh, falling from a hundred meters high without protection, I thought with my not-so-defensive lineage, I’d at least suffer some external injuries. Surprisingly, not a scratch on me… just a bit of an ache on my back.”
“You, you… of course, you’re not hurt,” a muffled voice emanated from the bottom of the crater, along with an angry roar through gritted teeth: “Because you landed on me! I’m the one who’s injured!!!”
This anguished howl of injustice came from Nisi. Due to his role as an anchor, he happened to be directly underneath the “external ally” when it fell, landing squarely on him.
Being hit was one thing, but what Nisi found most grievous was that he didn’t even mind that the one who fell on him was a stinky old man. Yet, the latter even complained about him being a “flesh cushion” that was too crunchy?!
The visitor sitting on the flesh cushion only then noticed that there was another person at the bottom of the pit.
“Oh, haha, sorry, I didn’t realize I had landed on you.” An apologetic voice came from the newcomer, but the next second, when he realized the person he had landed on was Nisi, his tone sharply changed: “So it’s you, then it’s a good landing. How dare you trick me, you’re lucky you didn’t get killed!”
“When did I ever trick you!” Nisi couldn’t help but protest.
“When you called me here, you didn’t mention there would be such a law fluctuation. If I had known about this danger, how could I have agreed so easily!”
“Moreover, I used you as an anchor. I emerged from the planar passage right at your location, only to be immediately greeted by a law fluctuation. This must be your conspiracy!”
“I also used my life-saving straw effigy, which is a treasured item from our House of Lilith, and we only had a few of those. I was planning to save them for Cherie. You must compensate me for my loss!”
“This isn’t my fault…” Nisi tried to explain, but the other party wouldn’t listen, his complaints echoing in his ears.
It wasn’t until Angel spoke up that their argument paused for a moment.
“Lord Canter, I think whatever it is, perhaps we could discuss it after you get up.” Angel’s voice, ethereal, drifted down to the pit below.
The sight of two old men, both looking quite aged, one sitting on top of the other, was indeed a bit too picturesque, prompting Angel to offer a reminder.
Canter then realized their current posture was indeed somewhat indecorous. After a moment’s thought, he stood up, stepping hard on Nisi in the pit, who let out a pained howl as Canter flew out of the pit.
With Canter’s strength, there were many ways he could have exited, but he chose such a method, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with Nisi.
After emerging, Canter straightened his attire, especially his slightly askew triangular wizard’s hat.
Once his hat was properly adjusted, Canter turned to look at Angel: “You’re Angel? Tsk, if I hadn’t heard your voice, I really wouldn’t have recognized you… Your shape-shifting spell, not bad.”
Angel hadn’t expected to fool Canter and accepted the compliment with a smile.
“I was wondering who Wizard Nisi had called for an external ally. I didn’t expect it to be you, Lord. ” At this point, Angel somewhat understood why Nisi had said the newcomer would definitely recognize him.
Like the Night, Canter, the current head of the House of Lilith and a friendly ally of Phantom Island, was naturally familiar to Angel.
However, what puzzled Angel was how Nisi managed to invite Canter?
