Translator: SumTLMan
What Angel wanted to know most was how, without registration, an otherworldly being could avoid being rejected by the world’s will.
Angel thought that after he bought Nano, Pierre should have volunteered this information.
But Pierre said nothing.
Even when Angel asked directly, Pierre always talked around the subject: “Nano is fine, a Damaskian’s lifespan is three hundred years, Nano is now forty-seven years old, and living past two hundred and fifty years is absolutely no problem.”
He brought the conversation to Nano, but never explained the specific reason.
Because of Pierre’s attitude, Angel became more and more puzzled. He couldn’t find any clues in the Cloud Library and had tried asking many people, including veterans like Promi, but they were all clueless.
Logically speaking, with so many otherworldly slaves appearing in the Wizarding World, it shouldn’t be that everyone didn’t understand or remained tight-lipped or avoided talking about it, right?
Could it be that there was more to this?
With that in mind, Angel started asking Pierre relentlessly.
Facing Pierre, he wasn’t too worried about exposing Jon’s existence.
Not to mention how far Jon was from this place, but with Pierre’s attitude towards otherworldly slaves, it was also impossible for him to report “Angel may be hiding an otherworldly slave” to someone from the Extreme Sect.
Under Angel’s repeated questioning, Pierre still refused to answer.
In the end, Angel thought that he would not get an answer today and could only leave helplessly. However, to his surprise, a turning point came quickly.
With a hesitant expression on Pierre’s face, Angel, with a gloomy face, stepped onto the stairs back to the deep alley of Kirk Street.
Since he couldn’t get an answer from Pierre, and he couldn’t ask his mentor, he had only one option left: to spend money on buying information.
There were many places in Mechanical City where one could buy information, such as the Rouge House. However, it was difficult to determine whether there would be members of the Extreme Sect fishing for law enforcement when buying information, so Angel didn’t choose this method at first.
But since Pierre’s path was blocked, he had no choice but to go this route.
Nano followed Angel, walking up the spiral staircase and leaving the Punk Talent Exchange Market.
Seeing Nano leave, the crowd in the hall whispered to each other. If the “master” could agree to Nano’s conditions, perhaps he could agree to their conditions as well. Some people asked Pierre who had bought Nano and whether he would come back.
Pierre, however, looked absent-minded, indecisive, and ignored the inquiries from those around him.
In fact, that piece of information was not a secret within the entire human-snake circle. However, it involved some power struggles and an unspeakable existence. Therefore, he couldn’t disclose it to outsiders.
Looking at Angel’s expression, if he doesn’t disclose it, would he be bad to Nano?
After all, they only had a verbal agreement and didn’t sign a contract. If Angel reneged, Nano’s life with him would be miserable.
Because of this, Pierre was very conflicted in his heart.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from above.
At the same time, the voice of the sunglasses-wearing man at the entrance of the hall suddenly sounded: “Pierre, tell them to hurry up, the Extreme Sect people are here again, at least ten this time!”
Upon hearing this, Pierre’s expression changed instantly, and he quickly took out a communicator and muttered: “Everyone who is available, hurry up! Trouble is here again!”
With his words, many doors in the honeycomb-like underground talent exchange market were pushed open. Numerous wizards and apprentices residing here came out one after another.
These people were the reason Pierre dared to confront the Extreme Sect.
“What a nuisance, it’s been so long since the Purification Garden, why haven’t these people left yet?” Pierre cursed, daring to treat the Extreme Sect like this because he knew they would eventually leave Sky Mechanical City. If they insisted on staying, Rosen would drive them away. Once they were all gone, even if he offended them, they wouldn’t dare to retaliate.
Just as Pierre gathered many fighters, ready to confront the Extreme Sect, the atmosphere in the alley was strangely tense.
“We meet again, Mr. Pat.” The speaker was the black-robed, soft-armored man from the Rouge Pavilion not long ago.
Angel didn’t expect to encounter the Extreme Sect right after leaving.
He was already in a bad mood and didn’t give them a good look: “I seem to run into you wherever I go. Even if you’re enforcing the law, you’re a bit too arrogant.”
Angel’s words made the faces of the Extreme Sect members change.
Angel didn’t bother with them, saying bluntly: “Get out of the way, the road is already narrow, don’t block it.”
The black-robed, soft-armored man narrowed his eyes but focused his attention on the little person behind Angel. He sniffed lightly: “The disgusting smell of the Cruel Scholar.”
Angel didn’t know what the other party was talking about, staring straight ahead with growing impatience.
“Aren’t you going to move?”
The black-robed, soft-armored man smiled slightly: “Of course we will. We don’t dare to offend the disciple of Phantom Master.”
As he spoke, he moved aside. However, at this moment, the knight’s thin sword originally at his waist seemed to come to life, carrying powerful magic, and slashed fiercely at Nano behind Angel.
With a sound, an ice wall suddenly rose in Nano’s fearful gaze, blocking the slash.
The ice wall was naturally created by Angel. When the other party’s eyes looked at Nano, he was already on guard. Indeed, they started fighting without a word, and Angel immediately reacted.
After this brief confrontation, both people remained silent.
The opponent wanted Nano’s life, but Angel was determined to keep Nano alive. Their goals were inherently conflicting, so there was no need for further discussion!
The conflict occurred in an instant.
Angel cast an illusion spell, hoping to trap the opponent first. However, when the Universal Axis guided the illusion model out, Angel’s expression suddenly paused, revealing a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Without time to think, a thick white fog quickly enveloped everyone.
When Pierre led his team out, the battle was already over.
The dissipating fog revealed a group of defeated individuals in black robes from the Extreme Sect. The only ones still standing were Angel and Nano, who was hiding somewhat timidly by his feet.
Shock flashed in Pierre’s eyes. These ten Rampant Wizards from the Extreme Sect had all passed through the Purification Garden and were the core members remaining in Sky Mechanical City!
How could they all be defeated so easily?
Furthermore, from the moment the man in sunglasses yelled, to Pierre’s arrival, no more than a minute had passed. How could it be so fast?
He looked at the man in sunglasses, hoping to get some information from him, but the man was also completely dumbfounded and couldn’t respond for a long time. On the other hand, the owl on his shoulder made some gestures and explained what had happened.
However, the owl was just an alchemical pet and couldn’t say much. It only saw a white fog appear, followed by the sound of fighting from within, and then Pierre and the others came out. The fog dissipated, revealing the defeated group on the ground.
Regardless of what exactly happened in the fog, there was no doubt that Angel single-handedly defeated this group of leading young figures from the Extreme Sect.
What a terrifying feat!
At least, Pierre had many apprentices on his side, and by relying on their numbers, it might have been possible to drive the Extreme Sect away. But defeating them… that seemed nearly impossible.
As Pierre trembled, looking at Angel, Angel seemed indifferent on the surface, but his heart was full of doubts.
He looked at his right hand.
A black glove on his right hand covered the green rune that was joyously dancing.
What was going on? Why did his attempt to cast a simple fog illusion spell turn into a powerful, large-scale fog nightmare spell?
Was it because he channeled the illusion spell through his right hand? And then the powerful nightmare force caused the group to turn on one another?
That’s right, they turned on each other. In fact, Angel didn’t even lift a finger.
As Angel was also somewhat baffled by the unexpected events, Pierre approached with the equally shocked “apprentices” behind him, rubbing his hands together.
“Mr. Angel, I…” Pierre’s words were cut off as he felt Angel’s cold gaze.
“I… I just wanted to ask, what should we do with these people?” Pierre shakily pointed at the people collapsed on the ground.
Although they looked serious, they mostly had external injuries, as they didn’t dare to harbor murderous intent towards Angel. So when they fought each other, no one died without malicious intent. Now they were all unconscious due to the influence of the mental spell.
“Deal with them however you want. If you want to kill them, go ahead. But it has nothing to do with me,” Angel said indifferently.
After that, Angel walked past the unconscious people on the ground, ready to leave with Nano. He was extremely curious about the changes in his right hand, and why such a simple illusion technique became such a powerful mental spell when channeled through his right hand.
As Angel was about to walk away, Pierre suddenly called out to him: “Mr. Angel.”
Originally, he hesitated to bring up the matter, but looking at the people of the Extreme Sect on the ground, since Angel and the Extreme Sect seemed to be at odds, it should be safe to mention it, right?
He would do it for Nano’s sake.
With that thought, Pierre stopped Angel.
A short while later, Pierre brought Angel back to the underground hall. With everyone’s puzzled and shocked eyes on them, Angel was led into Pierre’s private room.
There, Pierre finally revealed the key to smuggling creatures from another world.
“Abyssal Rune Literature.”
Pierre gestured for Nano to remove his clothes, and Angel noticed that on Nano’s chest was a rune. The rune showed a demon with a tail, wrapped in black wings.
It’s worth mentioning that the demon’s tail looked like a hook, holding a pile of exquisite books.
“This is the Abyssal Rune,” Pierre carefully whispered, “It’s the basic rune protection of the Cruel Scholar, a great demon from the Abyss.”
With Pierre’s veiled explanation, Angel finally understood this so-called “Abyssal Rune Literature.”
Abyssal Rune Literature were invented by the Great Demon God Cruel Scholar. Later, the concept of these runes was modified and passed onto the Wizarding World.
Modified by the wizards’ predecessors and researched by generations of wise men, it was eventually completely abandoned for its disadvantages and turned into Rune Literature.
As Rune Literature developed in the Wizarding World, its profoundness even surpassed the original Abyssal Rune Literature. Moreover, the profoundness of Rune Literature was on par with alchemy, magic runes, and so on. However, according to Pierre, Rune Literature seemed to be more prevalent in the Northern Region and the Western Continent, but not so popular in the Southern Wizarding World, mainly due to the Extreme Sect.
That’s right, the so-called “registration” of the Extreme Sect, drawing relevant runes on the bodies of foreign guests, is actually Rune Literature.
But it is a “localized” and “indigenous” version of Rune Literature, not the original source, Abyssal Rune Literature.
“To make the World Will of the Wizarding World not reject outsiders, there must be an equally powerful world as a background. The Abyssal Plane is in no way inferior to the Wizarding World, and with the protection of the Cruel Scholar’s Abyssal Runes, Nano won’t be eroded by the power of the World Will.”
After saying this, Pierre immediately closed his mouth.
Spreading Abyssal Rune Literature would be openly opposing the Extreme Sect. Although their slave-trading business was already involved with the Extreme Sect, as long as they didn’t tear off the mask, it wouldn’t be a problem.
