All the power of a sequence belonged to the power of laws. In terms of completeness, it definitely couldn't compare to the power of laws. However, they were passed down from the same source, so they were essentially superior and inferior. In terms of energy levels, they weren't too far apart.
In this case, the power of laws could be used to defend against the power of laws.
"When the power of laws appears, cover your body with the sequence of gravity and you'll be able to move freely."
Angor looked around and saw that the energy waves were still lingering in the air. He decided to follow Kanter's advice.
He already had the sequence of gravity, but it was located deep in his soul. It would take him a while to unleash it. So, he decided to ask Toby to do it.
Soon, a gray mist that represented the sequence of gravity was released from Toby's body and surrounded everyone.
Since Toby didn't intend to harm them, they didn't feel threatened by the power of gravity. On the other hand, due to the gravitational power, the remaining shockwaves were isolated from the outside world.
This meant that Kanter's idea was correct.
"So that's why the fire spell isn't affected by the energy waves … Wait, so my sequence of fire can also defend against the power of laws?" Filo's eyes lit up when he sensed the change in the air.
Kanter nodded. "Yes. All the sequences of laws can resist the power of laws."
With that, Kanter pointed a finger at Angor, which released some starlight.
Angor couldn't tell what the starlight was, but he could sense the power of laws flowing inside it.
"Mister Kanter, if you have a sequence of laws, why did you —" Angor looked at Kanter's eyes.
Kanter sighed. "We were in a hurry."
It would take time to use the sequence of laws. Kanter had half of his body outside the plane while the other half was in the air. If something happened, his body would be torn in half. No one knew when the plane passageway would be destroyed. He didn't have the time to use the power of laws. He had to save his own life first.
Once they left the plane passageway, Kanter didn't need to use the sequence of laws to protect himself.
As they spoke, they were getting closer to the fire spell.
Before reaching the fire area, Kanter quickly changed his appearance and turned into Sunders'.
This was also Angor's suggestion.
Since Sunders already showed his face, it was not a problem to keep using his face.
When they arrived at the Fire Magic Land, Kanter immediately established a Spirit Bond between them to prevent 03 from eavesdropping on their conversation.
Next, he checked the metal object before speaking to Angor and Filo through the Spirit Bond. "Is this the robot head you were talking about?"
Angor nodded. "Yes. According to No.03, it's called 'Mechanic' or something."
"Machine Master, the name sounds like it belongs to the Machine Alchemy faction." Kanter mumbled and continued, "This mechanic is wrapped in a layer of water membrane. I just sensed the fluctuation of the water membrane, and the water membrane itself is not very powerful. According to what you said before, 03 used his own mana to support the membrane, so it should be true."
"Although it's not that powerful, the level of the water membrane is surprisingly high. Not only can it withstand the shockwave, but it can also withstand the power of fire. I have a feeling that Flunza's power of water is not as strong as this one."
"If I'm not mistaken, this' Mechanic's Core 'was created by someone above the legendary level."
Upon hearing Kanter's explanation, Filo immediately thought back to when he had used his fire spells to burn the machine. Number 03 had threatened that if the machine was destroyed, Filo would have to bear the consequences.
It was vaguely revealed that the Mechanic had an incredible background.
Now that Filo thought about it, he had an answer.
Could it be that he had offended another legendary Magus? Filo's heart skipped a beat. He hesitated for a moment before telling Angor his opinion.
Both Angor and Kanter remained silent for a while after hearing Filo's explanation.
In the end, Kanter said softly, "It doesn't matter. There are too many debts to worry about."
"Besides, the 'Mechanic's Core' isn't destroyed yet, right? Even if it is, legendary wizards can't easily enter the wizarding world … "Angor suddenly thought of the legendary wizard Filo encountered earlier." … right? "
Filo felt like crying. Was that supposed to be a consolation?
No matter how helpless Filo felt right now, Kanter did not try to destroy the 'Mechanic's Core' since he already knew that the 'Mechanic' had a powerful background.
Besides, he didn't think he could destroy the 'Mechanic's Core' in a short time.
He gave up on trying to sense the 'Mechanic's Core' and asked, "Can we talk, Cassily?"
No.03, who was inside the 'Mechanic's Core', heard the voice from outside and immediately recognized it as Sunders.
No.03's heart skipped a beat when he sensed the terrifying pressure coming from the 'Mechanic's Core'.
However, Number 03 sensed something different in Sunders' tone this time. It sounded colder and more frightening.
Unbeknownst to Number 03, it was Kanter who was talking outside the door, not Angor who was trying to bluff him. Kanter and Sunders were old friends, so he was able to imitate Sunders' voice and style better than Angor's.
It didn't mean that Angor wasn't good at imitating Sunders.
Angor was mostly imitating Sunders' attitude when talking to him. Sunders was still cold, but he didn't feel distant at all. Sometimes, Sunders would even show some warmth between a teacher and a student. This wasn't Sunders' real image. Angor only saw the friendly side of Sunders in private.
Kanter, on the other hand, knew everything about Sunders, so he was able to imitate Sunders perfectly with just a few words.
No.03's heart skipped a beat when he saw how Sunders looked more realistic and cold.
No.03 was going to ignore Sunders like he did when talking to Filo, but "Sunders" was standing outside. Even the slightest sound of his breathing was enough to intimidate No.03 like never before.
In the end, No. 03 still opened his mouth under this kind of psychological pressure.
"What do you want to talk about, mister?"
…
Fifteen minutes later, Kanter prepared to leave with Angor. Filo was left behind near the fire area.
Before leaving, Kanter took out an item from his pocket and handed it to Filo, who was still in a daze.
"If 03 does anything strange, crush it immediately," Kanter said to Filo.
Filo looked down and saw the item Kanter gave him. It was a black crystal that was cut in the shape of a rhombus. Through the surface of the crystal, Angor could see that the black substance inside the crystal seemed to be flowing freely. There were also some tiny spots of light in the darkness, as if the crystal contained an entire night sky.
Filo didn't know what the crystal was, but he knew Kanter wouldn't harm it. He nodded.
After giving the crystal to Filo, Angor and Kanter headed toward the lab.
"Do you think No.03 will do something, mister?" Angor asked Kanter on their way.
Kanter nodded. "I don't know what No.03 is doing, but when she sensed that we were trying to enter the lab, her aura became a little chaotic. Through the chaos, I noticed that her aura didn't weaken. In fact, it's getting stronger. "
Regardless of whether No.03 was going to do anything, Angor still needed to be on guard.
Kanter gave the crystal to Filo in order to prevent No.03 from doing anything. At the same time, the crystal could help them locate No.03's location. If something went wrong in the lab, they could escape immediately.
"But even if No.03 really wants to do something, she can easily suppress it. What I'm worried about the most is … that person. "
Unlike Angor, Kanter didn't have to worry about acting as Sunders all the time, so he didn't ask many questions. Kanter was a powerful fighter himself, so he didn't hesitate to ask questions. Therefore, Kanter managed to get a lot of secret information from No.03.
Kanter had asked Number 03 a few times about the person Filo suspected to be a Legendary-level being.
In the end, Kanter was certain that No.03 did not know about the existence of "that person".
No one said it out loud, but they all assumed that "that person" came from the Lost Legacy Association of Origin World and had something to do with the lab.
But now, they realized that "that person" had nothing to do with the lab. At least, that was what No.03 thought.
Who could it be?
What was his stance?
Nothing was certain.
"Let's hope everything goes well this time," Kanter sighed. Kanter couldn't help but mutter, "If I knew this was going to be so troublesome, I wouldn't have come … Ness, that old man!"
…
When Angor and Kanter returned to the base, Ness was almost done with his preparations.
Ness looked almost the same as before. The only difference was that he now had a skeletal knight with a bone sword by his side. His hat and robe were now grayish white.
The knight was covered by a heavy skeletal armor, but they could see that the armor was hollow inside. However, there was a green flame burning between the knight's eyes. There was still a "person" inside the armor. It was just that the "person" had become a soul.
The skeletal knight simply stood beside Ness, but it was enough to intimidate them.
Angor and Kanter didn't feel anything, but Reynolds did. He didn't even dare to get close to the skeletal knight. He had no choice but to hide behind Angor to avoid the terrible aura.
Kanter didn't pay much attention to the skeletal knight. Instead, he looked at Ness' new robe and hat. "Are you ready?"
Ness nodded, his eyes flashing with excitement. "No problem."
"Let's go then."
