"Only four drops?!" Lady Danae glared at Sunders. Her weathered face showed a hint of anger. "You've got it all planned out, Sunders. You knew Boko was greedy, so you just let him fall into the space crack, didn't you?"
Sunders curled his lip but did not say anything. He simply stood in the center of the magic array and stared at Lady Danae with his eyebrows raised.
It was a perfect display of his arrogance.
Lady Danae felt a little guilty under his sharp stare. However, she returned the stare fearlessly as she had the elites of Gravity Forest behind her. Lady Danae did not expect that Sunders' aura alone was enough to make everyone feel suffocated. The elites behind her either rubbed their noses awkwardly or lowered their heads. Only the dark-skinned man, Saipan, stood on her side and glared at Sunders.
"Lady Danae, you're accusing us wrongly. Boko was already trapped when we arrived," Flora said with her usual playful smile, which made it difficult for others to tell whether she was telling the truth. Even Boko himself did not know whether Sunders came first or later.
"There are no such things as coincidences in this world," Lady Danae humphed coldly and did not speak again.
Saipan spoke up, "Lady, should we …" He made a throat-slitting gesture.
Lady Danae grumbled, "Didn't you see the magic array under their feet? It can be used to attack and defend, and it's impenetrable. There's also a small teleportation rune. It's an intermediate magic array. I wonder which Runemaster drew it. "
Saipan looked over and saw faint runes appearing beneath the two men's feet.
"Besides, we can't keep them here even if they don't set up the array." Lady Danae sighed. She had no choice but to swallow her loss.
"Professor, did they give up?" Flora chuckled.
"They don't dare to fight. The fusion point is about to enter the second phase. The plane barrier here will be extremely weak. If she messes up, the world's consciousness will not let her go." Sunders was not worried about getting into a conflict with Daenie at all. Daenie was also a level-2 wizard who lived twice as long as Sunders, so she knew a lot more. Under such circumstances, starting a conflict would only be courting death.
Still, Sunders didn't overestimate himself. He knew that plane fusion would attract a lot of attention. Once the second phase began, the coordinates of the fusion point would be known to everyone in the plane passageway, and chaos would surely ensue. Moreover, not everyone was as self-disciplined as Daenie, who could easily go on a rampage. If he stayed in the magic array, he would have a way out even if something went wrong.
The fusion of the planes was speeding up. The thunderclouds in the sky were getting darker and darker. It was noon, but it felt like midnight. Coupled with the appearance of the waterspouts, the tides became strange and opposites. The roaring waves were comparable to the height of a hundred-meter-tall building.
The roar of thunder, the sound of violent waves, and the howling of the wind. The scene became chaotic, and no one could hear each other's words. The Sorcerers had no choice but to use their various abilities. Distant Sound, Spirit Bond, and Thought Synchronization. Spells from the three major factions flashed frequently.
At the center of the fissure, an extremely deep darkness was slowly eroding the tiny cracks and expanding them bit by bit.
There were no more new cracks at the edge of the fissure. This meant that when all the cracks merged into one, the fusion point would truly enter the second phase.
Suddenly, the sound of water splashing came from behind. A row of waterspouts about ten thousand meters tall that reached into the center of the thunderclouds were cut in half.
A gigantic ray flew in through the crack in the wall. A group of Magi dressed in different clothes adorned with beautiful pearls stood on top of the ray and slowly sailed in.
Flora glanced sideways and saw a slim woman who covered her chest with a shell. There was a green tattoo of a fish scale on her belly button. Next to her was a man in black armor who was sitting cross-legged. He was casually swinging a greatsword in his hand. There was also a fish scale tattoo between his eyebrows, but this one was dark in color.
At a glance, the exposed skin of every Magus sitting on the rays had fish scales of different shapes and colors.
"Song of the Deep," Flora muttered.
The symbol of a wizard from Song of the Deep was a fish scale tattoo on their body.
Song of the Deep was one of the top ten wizard organizations in the southern region. Its headquarters was located under the Endless Sea and controlled several underwater cities. Most of the wizards in Song of the Deep had talents related to water. Their abilities were also reflected in their personalities. However, few of them were gentle like water. Almost every one of them wished for a great flood. They perfectly inherited the fickleness of water.
"These people … are troublesome." Sunders shook his head.
Song of the Deep came faster than expected. They hadn't even entered the second phase of the fusion point, yet they were already here. This showed how well-informed they were. However, no one was surprised. The plane fusion was taking place above the sea, right in the backyard of Song of the Deep. It was normal for them to come so quickly.
"The first phase is over, huh? Looks like I won't get the Fragments of Eternity, "said the leader of Song of the Deep, a handsome young man with long silver hair.
"Wizard of Big Fish, Sliv," Flora whispered the name.
Despite his young appearance, Sliv was actually older than Sunders. However, Sunders never stopped the traces left on his face by time. His current middle-aged appearance was the result of centuries of sexual activity. Sliv, on the other hand, deliberately consumed his mana to maintain his youthful appearance.
"Stay away from him. He's dangerous, and he doesn't care about the consequences," Sunders whispered to Flora.
"Understood," Flora replied.
On the other side, Saipan, the dark-skinned man from Gravity Forest, heard Sliv talking to himself. (Is he talking to himself using a sound amplification spell?) He rolled his eyes and yelled, "Flora has taken all the Fragments of Eternity! Damn it! "
His voice was loud and clear, and he had used a spell to amplify his voice. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.
Saipan raised his head proudly. Lady Danae gave him an angry glare, but he didn't realize it. Saipan's action wasn't wrong, but he had seriously offended Sunders. Sunders was a powerful individual, and Brute Cavern was an unreasonable organization. Song of the Deep had its "Gentle Water", while Brute Cavern was filled with people who loved to see the world plunged into chaos.
Gravity Forest had always been peaceful. If they offended Brute Cavern because of this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Sliv glanced at Saipan and grinned. Then he looked at Sunders on the other side.
"Hehe. Mister Phantom Master, Mister Sunders. Long time no see." Sliv stepped forward in the air and approached Sunders.
When they were only a hundred meters away, Sliv hurled a water arrow at Sunders.
The water arrow was blocked by the magic array. Sliv grinned. "Oh, I made a mistake." Then, he changed the topic. "You set up multiple magic arrays. You're really careful."
Flora cursed in her mind when she heard Sliv's sarcastic tone. "What the hell?!
Like Lady Danae, Sliv observed the magic array under their feet and frowned. Instead of advancing, he returned to his own camp. He wasn't an expert in magic arrays, but he knew the arrays must be from a master. It would take him at least one or two hours to break them. While breaking the arrays, Sunders could still fight back or even teleport away. It was a great weapon for both offense and defense.
