When Rosen mentioned this, everyone noticed that there was a faint gravitational law rune around Angel’s soul. They recalled the recent construction of Sanders’ Gravity Garden and understood.
No matter how envious everyone was of Angel’s Gravity Lines, they could only sigh and say: “He’s so lucky.”
To comprehend the law rune during the construction of the Wizarding World, it required the right timing, location, and people. Angel’s understanding could only be attributed to incredible luck.
“With the Gravity Lines, his speed is unparalleled. No wonder he dares to come to the membrane at this time… However, there seems to be something wrong with his Gravity Lines; it seems to have merged with his soul.”
“Even with a problem, it’s still very good. Once he becomes a wizard, this problem will no longer be an issue.”
“Whether he can become a wizard or not is another matter. This time, he might fail here.”
Some people did not have high hopes for Angel, but in the next second, he successfully broke through the encirclement.
In the screen, Angel withdrew his soul into his body, then cast the Multidimensional Illusion. Taking advantage of the illusion, he escaped from the many traps and successfully fled. This series of actions took only two or three seconds, but the danger inside was immense. Even those who had issues with Sanders couldn’t help but nod in approval.
However, although Angel had temporarily escaped the encirclement, it wasn’t an easy task to shake them off completely.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Angel on the screen, looking forward to his next move.
…
Meanwhile, as Angel broke through, an accident occurred at the lava lake.
The Ink Touch King appeared, and the apprentices thought they could leave the exit as long as they could get through it. However, they overestimated themselves and underestimated the Ink Touch King’s strength.
The Ink Touch King’s body was enormous, and under the attacks of Isio, Daniel, and others, it occasionally moved its tentacles clumsily.
This deceived the others, making them think that they could slowly grind down the Ink Touch King.
The abyss it occupied might be the exit, and the Ink Touch King’s body was also a treasure. After testing for a while, the apprentices began to launch a full-scale attack on the Ink Touch King with this beautiful vision in mind.
Only a few apprentices with low strength were watching from a distance, such as Loki and Alan.
The Ink Touch King was forced to retreat step by step, and everyone’s eyes turned red as they continuously approached it. As they got closer and closer to the edge of the abyss, the Ink Touch King’s giant black eyes suddenly narrowed. Then, to everyone’s surprise, it leaped out of the abyss.
By the time everyone realized they were too close to the Ink Touch King, it was already too late.
This enormous magical beast, resembling an “octopus,” emitted strange sounds in mid-air, as if laughing and mocking at the same time.
Subsequently, countless tentacles pierced into the lava, turning themselves into a cage and trapping the majority of the apprentices present.
As everyone panicked, the dense suckers on the belly of the tentacles of the Ink Touch King suddenly spewed out a dark gray mist with a strange sweet scent.
Under the hazy sweet fragrance, the apprentices staggered around like they were drunk, their faces alternating between laughter and confusion. Without the Ink Touch King attacking, they soon fell from mid-air one after another, plunging into the rolling lava.
Except for a few apprentices with bloodlines that could resist the lava, most of them were instantly reduced to ashes upon falling into the lava.
With just one strike, more than half of the people perished.
Only a very small number survived, or like Loki, those who didn’t step into the battlefield.
Daniel’s Ice and Snow Sky Dance spell was very strong, and he was fortunate enough to escape. As he left, he also grabbed Freud along the way, and the two were now panting outside.
After a while, Freud finally caught his breath: “Thanks.”
Daniel: “This Ink Touch King has been holding back all this time, obviously to lure more people into its attack range, and then kill them in one blow. And did you notice? It doesn’t have a single wound on its body. We’ve been attacking it for half an hour, and we haven’t left a single trace!”
Freud also noticed this and slowly said: “The Ink Touch King is simply unbeatable.”
Watching the apprentices still struggling and screaming in the lava lake, Freud felt a chill: “I’m wondering if we guessed wrong. Is the abyss really the exit? The Sky Mechanical City shouldn’t have arranged a path with no way out.”
Daniel also frowned: “Maybe we really guessed wrong, but if it’s not here, where could it be?”
Freud pondered for a moment and looked up.
The sky was deep and dark, and due to the excessive smoke from the lava area, it was not very clear.
“Dangerous places aren’t limited to this abyss.” Freud suddenly said.
Daniel turned to look at him, and Freud pointed his index finger up to the sky: “Perhaps the path isn’t underground but in the sky?”
Upon hearing Freud’s words, a light flashed in Daniel’s mind: “The Purification Garden is so vast, and tens of thousands of people have entered, but we’ve only encountered a few people. If the exit is in a fixed location, not to mention whether other people could find it, it would take a long time to get there. But if the sky is the exit… we just need to fly up, and we can leave?!”
Freud also thought of this, but he still had some doubts. There were also many apprentices who “couldn’t fly” or “didn’t know how to fly.” Sky Mechanical City shouldn’t completely block these apprentices, so there might be other ways to reach the sky?
“Shall we try flying?”
“Not for now.” Daniel’s eyes narrowed: “Keep this in mind for now. We’ll discuss it further after we leave this place.”
While they were secretly communicating, the Ink Touch King continued its killing spree, but its range of killings remained within the reach of its tentacles.
In the same manner as the Ink Touch King was limited in his range of action, he ignored anything beyond the reach of his tentacles. The others had realized this, but only a handful had managed to escape.
There were around fifty of them when they first arrived, but now only a dozen remained.
At first, they had mocked those who lacked the strength to enter the lava zone. Now they realized that the joke was on them. It was precisely because they lacked the strength that they had inadvertently saved the lives of those who stayed behind in the wasteland.
“Dela, so many people have died! Explain yourself! This creature’s strength is definitely at the wizard level. We cannot resist it with our current strength. Are you intentionally trying to get us killed?”
“Speak up!”
“Don’t think that just because you’re from Sky Mechanical City, you can…”
The group began to turn their weapons towards Dela, trying to get the truth from her. Some even attempted to attack her, but the difference in strength was too great. Dela easily killed several of them in a matter of moments. The number of survivors had already been small, and now it had been reduced by nearly half.
Dela’s display of power silenced the others.
At that moment, Sunisha walked over with a smile on her face and stood by Dela’s side. “That’s enough, change back. I’ve already taken advantage of the situation to send the elder down. These fools are of no use now.”
The others didn’t understand Sunisha’s meaning until Dela’s clothes began to emit a faint glow, and she transformed from a handsome man to a woman in red armor. Their faces turned pale as they finally understood.
“No wonder Dela never said anything. It wasn’t Dela, but Carvelyn.” A childish voice came from behind them.
They saw Loki, who was riding a white sand rhinoceros, pointing at Carvelyn in surprise.
“Little brother, I’m not Dela. My name is Carvelyn.” Carvelyn had a good impression of Loki and the others because of their previous encounter outside the wasteland. After talking to Loki, she looked at Alan, the chubby young man on the other side of the white sand rhinoceros.
“You, the gourmet apprentice, I was really hungry earlier and wanted to eat the grilled fish you made. Unfortunately, I couldn’t reveal my identity at the time. Now I have some free time, so do you think you could make it again?”
Alan had come to the Purification Garden just to tag along. He was still immersed in the horror of so many deaths, so he didn’t respond to Carvelyn’s words right away.
Instead, Sunisha looked over with interest. “Oh, I didn’t expect that there would be another gourmet apprentice here besides me. You’re quite brave, especially since you’re only a first-level apprentice!”
It was then that Alan reacted and shyly asked Sunisha: “Beautiful miss, are you also a gourmet apprentice?”
Sunisha nodded: “Of course, I came here to collect ingredients.”
As soon as she finished speaking, an old man with a staff suddenly appeared by Sunisha’s side with a flash.
Everyone immediately recognized him as the one who had initially attacked the Ink Touch King with Daniel and the others.
“I remember… didn’t this old man fall into the abyss due to the gray mist earlier?” someone muttered quietly: “How did he come back now?”
“Don’t you understand yet? This old man is obviously in league with them. His fall into the abyss was clearly prearranged so that we would attract the attention of the Ink Touch King while he secretly acted in the depths.” The speaker was Isio, who was standing on a flying insect beside Freud. Isio was very cautious, and during the attack on the Ink Touch King, he remained at a safe distance, controlling the flying insects to attack, thus narrowly escaping disaster.
Upon reflection, everyone understood Isio’s point, and their gazes toward Sunisha and Carvelyn became even more unfriendly.
“Did you get it, Elder Wand?” Sunisha didn’t care how others looked at her. As soon as she saw the staff-wielding elder return, her eyes lit up, and she immediately asked.
The Wand Elder nodded with a smile, taking a small bag from his bosom and handing it to Sunisha.
He then whispered: “This is a reward for dinner, thank you for your hospitality.”
With that, the figure of the staff-wielding elder gradually faded and disappeared…
As everyone was still puzzled, Isio’s harsh and cold voice came: “What have you taken from the abyss using our power? You must reveal it. If it’s related to the exit, isn’t it too greedy for you to monopolize it?”
Isio’s words, specifically mentioning “exit”, immediately drew everyone’s attention to Sunisha.
The most powerful, Hermes, also looked over. Sunisha could ignore the others, but not Hermes. Neither she nor Carvelyn had absolute confidence in their ability to kill Hermes.
Hermes also asked: “Now that it’s just us left, I hope you can clarify if there is an exit beneath the abyss? And what exactly is in that bag?”
“Is it necessary for me to say whether there is an exit beneath the abyss? Haven’t I proven that by not going down?” Then, Sunisha continued calmly: “As for this bag, I can show you. I said it’s ingredients, and it is. What’s inside is the egg of the Ink Touch King, one of the ingredients I use for cooking.”
As her words fell and everyone still looked at her with doubt, the situation suddenly changed!
A furious roar erupted from the abyss!
