What does retrieval mean? Sanders never explained. But just hearing the word, Angel felt an indescribable sense of brutality and bloodiness.
He now understood why the magic eyes in the sky didn’t come down to stop them, and why these apprentice guards hesitated to step forward. It was all because of the notorious reputation of the Extreme Sect. They might not be very powerful, but they were politically influential in the entire Southern Wizarding World, and no wizard organization dared to ignore them.
Moreover, almost every wizard organization had its dark corners, and studying smuggled guests, turning them into puppets, was not uncommon. For example, Baruba was one of them. The Extreme Sect criticized and opposed such practices, and as a spearhead under the Great Will, they naturally had to thoroughly implement the methods of the Great Will, creating battlefields and smoke everywhere in the Southern Wizarding World.
Under such circumstances, wizard organizations could destroy them, but the cost was too high. And who knew whether the Great Will would support another extremist organization if the Extreme Sect were to be destroyed? Therefore, all major wizard organizations didn’t want to provoke the Extreme Sect. Once provoked, they were like mad dogs, biting and never letting go.
According to the girl, the large figure she was sitting on was the so-called visitor from another world.
Angel also vaguely felt a familiar sense of discord from the large figure.
The black-haired young man belonged to the Extreme Sect, and upon discovering that the large figure didn’t belong to the Wizarding World, the current scene of fighting and killing unfolded.
However, the girl also said that the large figure was registered. But in this situation, the black-haired young man still made the decision to kill the large figure.
Angel felt a chill in his heart. He originally planned to rely on “registration” to solve Jon’s problem, but now it seemed that the ravaging wizards of the Extreme Sect were indeed madmen, as Mentor said. Even if they were registered, and the registration system was proposed by the Extreme Sect itself, they still ignored it.
To solve Jon’s problem, it seemed that he would need to reconsider.
The battle between the two sides, due to the language barrier, once again became intense. This time, the black-haired young man, as he said, didn’t hold back. His previous targets were all focused on the large figure, and he didn’t attack the real mastermind behind it all—the girl.
But now, he didn’t care about the girl’s safety, and his attacks became more unrestrained.
The girl’s organization and age were unknown, but her aura had reached the peak of a second-level apprentice. Various tricks were at her fingertips, and with the large figure’s impregnable defense, she didn’t lose.
However, Angel could see that the girl’s defeat was only a matter of time. The young man of the Extreme Sect, with some secret method, grew more powerful as he accumulated more injuries, and his eyes became bloodshot. His expression changed from cold to ferocious and crazy, and his power seemed to have no upper limit. Along with his constantly fluttering long hair, he looked terrifying.
When the large figure’s arm was chopped off, the girl’s situation became dire.
After a series of devastatingly crazy attacks, the large figure collapsed to the ground, and the girl fell from its body.
“Saladin, are you really going to oppose our Savage Grottoes?!” The girl was furious.
“Hehehehehe—” The young man named Saladin had red eyes and had lost his previous cold expression. His response was full of sinister laughter.
“Madman, madman! You’re a madman!” The girl shouted angrily, turning to the apprentice guards in the distance and scolding, “You cowards, can’t you see he’s bullying a young girl?”
The apprentice guards lowered their heads, unmoved.
Saladin held his sword and walked towards the girl. Ignoring the fallen man on the other side, his insanity had caused him to lose his basic reason and focus on the girl.
Unable to move because of her injuries, the girl had no choice but to retreat.
Saladin let out a sinister and crazy laugh, swinging his sword at the already defeated girl.
At that moment, a graceful figure dashed out from behind and grabbed the girl as she retreated.
“Coral, run.” A female voice whispered in her ear.
The girl had barely escaped the sword’s reach and hadn’t caught her breath when she saw Saladin’s gaze lock onto the fallen man. She cried out in panic, “My little Gank!”
Saladin was about to kill the man, but when he heard the girl’s call, his already deranged gaze shifted back to her.
He laughed maniacally, tilted his body slightly, and stomped the ground with his foot. He charged at the girl like an arrow. His speed was as fast as lightning, and he brandished his bloody sword…
The girl and her rescuer were both in danger.
As they were about to fall into a deadly situation, all the onlookers sighed.
At the critical moment, a hazy fog suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping everyone in the arena.
At the same time, a clear female voice rang out from the fog: “Shield.”
Before anyone could react, a loud noise came from within the fog, followed by the same sudden voice: “Water Prison.”
But this time, her voice sounded somewhat exhausted, as if she had used a lot of energy.
When everyone came to their senses, a one-armed woman in soft armor, a woman with blue curly hair, and the girl who had been fighting Saladin emerged from the fog. The girl was riding the fallen man, who was holding his severed arm.
As for the dark-haired young man, he remained inside the fog.
“Coral, Hilary. Let’s leave while Saladin is still disoriented.”
The girl named Coral nodded: “Nausica, thank you and Hilary for saving me this time. Otherwise, I would have been done for.”
The one-armed girl was none other than Nausica, her face a little pale, obviously still frightened from Saladin’s sword threat earlier. But her eyes were firm, her fists tightly clenched.
“I can only be reckless, almost killed by Saladin in the end, but the real effort was from Hilary.” Nausica pointed at the blue-curled girl.
“But what about that mist? Was it just an ordinary mist? Why could we get out, but Saladin seemed to be sick?” Nausica wondered.
“It should be Hilary, right? She can turn water into mist.” Coral said uncertainly, turning her head to look at Hilary: “Hilary, what do you think?”
The blue-curled girl was startled: “Actually…hahaha…”
As she was about to answer, her eyelids suddenly twitched, and she stood in the middle of the crossroads, falling into a deep sleep.
“Hilary is asleep again?!”
“True to her name as the Sleepy Trickle to Flowing Stream, she can sleep anywhere… No, this is bad! Once she falls asleep and Water Prison disappears, we must run!”
If it weren’t for the Water Prison controlling Saladin, they wouldn’t have been able to leave so easily. But now that Hilary had fallen asleep again, the Water Prison naturally broke without a fight.
Thinking about this, they sped up quickly. Nausica threw the sleeping Hilary onto the large figure’s shoulder, and the two of them ran wildly towards Champagne Road, slowly disappearing at the end of the street.
However, they didn’t notice that the mist behind them had persisted. Even though the Water Prison Hilary created had disappeared, Saladin never emerged from the mist.
The onlooking apprentices were all puzzled.
“Did Saladin die? Why didn’t he come out of the mist?”
“If he’s dead, this is going to be a problem. The Extreme Sect sent more than just him, and those fanatics are not easy to deal with.”
Not far behind Angel, on the roof, two guard apprentices’ faces changed, and they immediately took out their communicators to call for the responsible manager in this area, Lord Suri.
At this moment, the mist suddenly began to dissipate, revealing Saladin in the middle.
Saladin had no visible injuries, and his expression had returned from ferocious madness to indifference. It seemed that during his time in the mist, his sanity had gradually returned.
Seeing the mist fade away, Saladin slowly got up, looking in the direction of Champagne Road. He knew that the visitor from another world was at the end of this road, but there were wizards guarding that place, not somewhere he could act recklessly.
Moreover, compared to the large figure, he suddenly became interested in the master who had cast the mist.
When he was insane, he couldn’t get out of the mist, but when he regained his sanity, he couldn’t get out of the mist for a while?!
He looked around and didn’t find the master of the fog. Was it indeed the woman who appeared later?
Saladin revealed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, and slowly left under the fearful gazes of everyone present.
Coincidentally, the direction he was heading was right where Angel was.
Angel was rolling down from a tree. Saladin glanced at him, thinking this cloaked figure was probably just another onlooker and didn’t pay much attention.
But just as he passed Angel, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He turned his head abruptly, staring at Angel.
Unfazed by Saladin’s gaze, Angel pressed down on his hood, preparing to leave.
Saladin blocked Angel’s path.
“What is it?” Angel’s voice came from under the hood.
Saladin was silent for a moment before coldly saying to Angel, “You are carrying an object with an otherworldly aura. I advise you not to come into contact with any beings from other realms.”
Saladin’s gaze focused on Angel’s chest area.
There was a necklace there, but Angel kept it close to his body. Embedded in it was the Heavenly Eye, the very cause that brought Jon to the Wizarding World from Earth.
After saying this, Saladin didn’t mention “reclaiming” the otherworldly object. After all, there was a fundamental difference between otherworldly objects and beings, and alchemy still required resources from other realms. He had no reason to reclaim it.
Saladin turned to leave, but Angel raised an eyebrow. Even Sanders hadn’t discovered the origin of the Heavenly Eye, yet it was noticed by an apprentice.
Indeed, the Extreme Sect was incredibly sensitive to otherworldly auras.
Angel looked back at Saladin walking away, his eyes gloomy as he headed towards Champagne Road.
