Turning around to look at Tomar, Han Xiao's lips curled up into a smile as he greeted Tomar.
"Yo, how are you? This friend who suddenly appeared."
"Hi, hi."
Tomar regained his senses and stuttered as he looked at the four of them. "You guys … are real Magi?" He asked with uncertainty.
The moment the words left his mouth, Tomar felt that he had asked an unnecessary question.
What was there to ask? Only Magi were able to expel demon spirits … and these four people were definitely powerful Magi. Otherwise, how could they kill the mutated blue shadow demon spirit in an instant?
I thought that the four of us were amateurs. I didn't expect them to be my peers … Tomar widened his eyes in shock.
All of a sudden, Tomar seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed. He hurriedly took out some white powder from his bag and scattered it in the air. Following which, he called for Han Xiao and the rest to follow him.
"I used the Elimination Dust to wipe away the traces of magic power here. We shouldn't be discovered. Hurry up and follow me. I will bring you guys to the gathering place in Stone Heart City."
As he spoke, Tomar nimbly jumped over the wall and ran out of the manor. Han Xiao brought the three of them, who were still confused, and followed behind him. They arrived at an old and empty house in the corner of Stone Heart City. A simple concealment array was set up here. In the eyes of the few of them, it was naturally very lame. However, it wasn't a problem to deceive the natives of Planet Nalun.
After jumping over the chimney, Tomar lifted up the floorboards in the corner of the house and revealed the entrance to a dark cellar.
"The gathering place is right below. Follow me."
There was a hanging basket at the entrance of the cellar, and it was connected to gears to transport people. It was like a primitive elevator.
The few of them stepped on it, and under the creaking sounds of the hinges, the basket finally touched the ground with a thud.
In front of them was a dark space that looked like an underground base. There were many wooden boxes filled with resources, and there were more than ten rooms. The crackling oil lamps were the only source of light here.
After being used to the advanced galactic technology, Hella and the rest felt that such a backward place was quite fresh. It felt as though they had returned to the ancient times.
"This is the gathering place of Stone Heart City. I will bring you guys to meet the person in charge here, Mister Lanley."
Tomar warmly led the few of them to one of the rooms. There were dozens of bookshelves here, and they were filled with old books.
An old man with a white beard was reading under the dim light of a kerosene lamp. When he heard the noise, he looked at them with a surprised expression.
After hearing Tomar's explanation, the old man named Lanley let down his guard and said with a hoarse voice, "So you guys are also fellow Magi. Feel free to enjoy everything here. Stone Heart City welcomes you guys."
Tomar asked curiously. "I've been curious the entire time. You guys clearly didn't use any magic potions. How did you guys kill the demon spirit?"
"It's actually quite simple. It's a technique to use spells." Fu Ding had no choice but to start role-playing under Han Xiao's instructions.
It turned out that Black Star liked this kind of music.
"Is that so? Why haven't I seen it in the books before?" Tomar scratched his head.
Hearing this, Lanley suddenly stood up and said in surprise, "Only the legendary great wizards don't need to use magic potions to cast spells. Could it be that you guys are great wizards?! I thought all the Great Adepts were killed by that devil fifty years ago! "
"What devil? What's going on?"
Lanley was stunned. "You guys don't know?"
"We don't know …" Han Xiao pretended to be at a loss.
Actually, I know, but I can only trigger the mission after hearing it from you … Han Xiao sighed helplessly.
"I understand now. You guys are the legendary hidden Magi. You guys didn't participate in the battle fifty years ago."
Lanli was excited and explained the whole story.
Fifty years ago, Magi were still roaming this land. There was a Magus called Vosumede who created a 'divine weapon' that could create and control demon spirits. Furthermore, he could absorb the energy of the demon spirits to increase his own magic power. In order to increase his power, he placed a large number of demon spirits of fear in several cities and used the fear of ordinary people as nourishment to increase the power of the demon spirits. In the end, he became a great Magus.
At that time, many wizards had banded together and wanted to kill Vosumede. However, Vosumede had used a 'divine weapon' to kill all the wizards who had surrounded him. Following that, he chased after the remaining wizards and killed almost all of them, cutting off countless magic inheritances.
After that, Vosumede became the Royal Mage of the Ocean Inn Kingdom and was known as the Great Demon King of the Magus World. Furthermore, he reared demon spirits in the Ocean Inn Kingdom. At most, due to his identity, he restrained himself a little. However, the demon spirit army under his command became stronger and stronger.
A small portion of Magi joined Vosumede and became his lackeys. As for the remaining Magi, they could only go into hiding and set up various gathering points to help each other.
Vosumede had been chasing after the surviving Magi, so the Magi went into hiding and no longer appeared in public. The outside world lost track of the Magi, and the magic inheritance was only controlled by Vosumede and the gathering points. The Magi in the gathering points would only impart their magic to young and trustworthy people.
This Vosumede is also a leek cultivator … Han Xiao curled his lips.
After roaming the universe for so many years, he had heard so many similar stories that his ears were about to grow calluses. It was nothing more than a big boss that appeared on the surface of the planet, and no one could defeat him. Thus, the planet was ruled by darkness for an era.
Planet Nalun did not know that there were other lifeforms in the universe, and they did not even know the definition of the universe. Naturally, they did not have the ability to ask for the help of interstellar mercenaries.
Vosumede was the final target of this chain mission. He was domineering on Planet Nalun, but in front of Han Xiao, he was just a little brother who could be easily killed. However, if he directly charged over and killed the boss, he might not be able to obtain the talent reward of the last part of the mission. In order to obtain the talent safely, Han Xiao planned to complete the mission step by step.
In any case, he was basically a newbie, and he did not feel any pressure. Thus, he treated this mission as a vacation.
Lanley excitedly paced back and forth, and his tone became respectful. "Four Magi, we need your help."
"Speak." Han Xiao nodded.
"As long as Vosumede is alive, the Magus World will always be under his control …"
"So, you want us to kill him?" Fu Ding interrupted.
Lanley shook his head and bitterly smiled. "We have already tried to do this for fifty years. Vosumede is too powerful, and he was able to kill several Great Magi a few decades ago. He will definitely be even more powerful now. Even if the four of you are Great Magi, you won't be a match for him. I can't send you all to your deaths."
Hella curled her lips. She alone could overturn the entire Planet Nalun, but seeing that Han Xiao was not saying anything, she could only shut her mouth.
"Then, what do we need to do?" Han Xiao asked patiently.
"It's like this. Vosumede's strongest helper is the Demonic Spirit Army. He created the strongest Demonic Spirit in history to help him lead the army, and we call it the Demonic Spirit King. If we want to deal with Vosumede, we have to get rid of his helper first. However, the Demonic Spirit King is extremely powerful, and even Great Magi might not be a match for it. However, we have found its weakness.
The Demonic Spirit King is a man-made product, and its power is maintained by three magic altars. Every time we destroy an altar, it will weaken. Our gathering point has already found the locations of the three altars, and there is one near Stone Heart City. However, it is guarded by the Demonic Spirit Army. With the addition of the four of you, we have the power to destroy the altars. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the next mission appeared on Han Xiao's interface. It was to destroy the altars near Stone Heart City. The mission introduction said that this was a form of submission, and they had to destroy an altar to gain the trust of the gathering point.
"Alright, I accept."
Lanley was overjoyed. "Then, I will leave it to you all. Our Stone Heart City gathering point has limited manpower, and we can only send eight Magi to help you all …"
"There is no need for that. Just him is enough." Han Xiao pointed at Tomar.
Tomar, who was silently listening by the side, was a little surprised. However, he nodded his head resolutely. "I will do my best."
Han Xiao nodded his head inwardly. Obtaining the talent was one of the goals, and the second goal was Tomar. This fellow possessed a low-grade Luck Glow and was a main character of Planet Nalun.
Most of the missions had a follow-up effect. The players who had completed this mission had coincidentally returned to Planet Nalun a few versions later and discovered Tomar's deeds.
After Vosumede's death, the Magi of Planet Nalun were finally free. Tomar became a famous Magus and spent his entire life researching magic. He obtained groundbreaking results and left behind countless knowledge for the future generations. He had practically single-handedly raised the level of Supers on Planet Nalun by a level.
This was not an easy matter. For example, it was as if a person who had only received a junior high mathematics education managed to figure out the advanced mathematics of a university. In the progress of civilization, he could be said to be a great figure who had created a new era.
In truth, many great figures in history were geniuses who were limited by the era.
Tomar was such a person. His talent in magic was extremely outstanding, and he could be considered a rare genius on Planet Nalun. However, in such a backward place, if geniuses were not properly nurtured, no matter how outstanding their talent was, they would be wasted.
Han Xiao's other goal was to kidnap Tomar and bring him into the army to nurture him.
Talents were the most precious, and the more main characters under his command, the better. No matter how bad the situation was, they would be able to increase the luck of the army.
…
The location that Lanley had given them was a cave hidden in the mountains. It was said that an altar was hidden there.
The next morning, Han Xiao and the rest set off with Tomar. In order to accommodate Tomar's speed, they spent half a day before arriving at the cave. At this time, the sky had already turned dark.
The group stood outside the cave, and a cold wind blew out from the entrance. It was as though the cave was breathing, and it was extremely eerie.
Tomar shivered. "Demonic spirits will appear at night, and their strength will be increased. It's best for us to set up camp outside and rest for the night. We will enter at noon tomorrow."
"There's no need for that."
Han Xiao shook his head. The mission itself was not difficult for him, and he brought Hella and the rest into the cave. Tomar hesitated for a few seconds before gritting his teeth and following behind.
The cave was winding, and a chilly wind blew. The deeper they went, the more obvious the eerie aura became. In the depths of the cave, the aura of the demonic spirits was no longer concealed, and faint murmurs could be heard from time to time.
Tomar's forehead was filled with sweat, and his nerves were tense. He looked around nervously, afraid that a demonic spirit would suddenly jump out and give him a surprise. He held onto the magic potion by his waist tightly and was prepared to throw it out at any moment. He was completely different from Han Xiao and the rest who were strolling leisurely.
"Why don't we return?" Tomar's voice was trembling. "Although you guys are great wizards, don't underestimate the enemy. There are at least three hundred demonic spirits here, and it will be difficult for us to deal with them …"
The moment he finished speaking, a strange stone altar appeared in front of them. There were a few hundred candles that burned with green flames that did not extinguish.
"This is the place. Let's hurry up and destroy the altar before retreating!"
Tomar's tone was hurried, and he hurriedly threw out the magic potion.
Right at this moment, a bone-piercing chill swept over, and a few hundred phantoms appeared in the surroundings. They stared coldly at the few of them and formed an encirclement.
"They are all demonic spirits …" Tomar's eyes widened, and his heart skipped a beat.
However, before he could express his fear, all the eerie aura melted like snow under the sun.
The few hundred demonic spirits did not even make a sound before they were all destroyed by Fu Ding's casual attack.
The phantoms all disappeared, and Tomar's scream was stuck in his throat. His eyes were wide open.
This scene had a huge impact on his world view.
What happened just now? Why were all the demonic spirits gone?
Was the Grand Wizard so powerful?!
"Let's just destroy this altar." Hella waved her hand, and a dark red aura swept out. With a bang, the entire altar turned into stone dust.
A notification popped up on Han Xiao's interface, indicating that the second round of the mission had been completed.
However, the moment the altar was destroyed, the cave started to tremble.
Rumble!
Black fog rose from the altar and formed a black whirlpool in midair. A wave of pressure could be felt from the whirlpool, and it was as though some kind of existence had descended.
Tomar's hair stood on end, and he felt as though he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. An instinctive fear rose in his heart.
"It's the Demonic Spirit King …" Tomar's throat tightened, and he was so frightened that he couldn't move. He could only let out a weak groan.
In the next second, a sinister voice sounded from the whirlpool. It was filled with malice, and it seemed to have caused the entire cave to tremble.
"You bunch of bugs, how dare you destroy my altar? You will pay the price! "
Han Xiao and the rest watched the Demonic Spirit King's performance expressionlessly.
"Hmph, it's too late for regrets. I will devour your souls and turn you into a part of me. I will let you fall into the deepest darkness … Ahh!"
Before he could finish acting cool, Feidin muttered, "Acting all mysterious." He casually shot out a beam of telekinesis, and it was like a needle poking into a balloon. The Demon King let out a scream as if it was leaking air, and then it went silent.
The whirlpool in midair disappeared, and the trembling in the cave calmed down. All the abnormal phenomena disappeared, and it was as though nothing had happened.
"Oi, you didn't kill it, right?" Han Xiao was a little worried. If the Demonic Spirit King was killed, would the mission be interrupted?
"I can kill it, but there is no need for that." Fu Ding rolled his eyes.
"You know me best." Han Xiao laughed and patted Tomar's shoulder.
After saying that, Han Xiao turned around and called out to Tomar, who was standing there in a daze.
"The altar has been dealt with. Let's go back."
Tomar tried his best to close his mouth and jumped back. He stared at the few of them with a wary expression.
"Who are you people?"
Han Xiao raised his brows and said, "I have already said that we are Magi."
Tomar had a look of disbelief on his face.
Don't think that you can lie to me just because I am not well-educated. You are definitely not Magi.
Because Magi are not that powerful!
Tomar praised himself for his rationality.
"Alright, since you have discovered me, I will tell you the truth …"
Han Xiao rolled his eyes, and an evil thought popped into his mind. He opened his arms, and his expression became solemn.
"Actually, we are Gods."
Hella and the other two nearly choked on their food.
Wah, you are really shameless!
When Tomar heard that, he had a look of disbelief.
There are actually Gods in this world? Could it be that those religions are telling the truth? I thought that they are all swindlers.
To be able to kill hundreds of Demonic Spirits so easily, it seems that only Gods are capable of such a feat.
Tomar could not think of any other explanation. Facing a 'God', he was at a loss and did not know what to say.
Han Xiao chuckled inwardly and pretended to be solemn. "I am here for Vosumede. His actions have already gone against the laws of nature, and he will be punished."
The natives of Planet Nalun were all natives, and it was not difficult to fool them. This was not the first time that he had acted as a God. In the past, he had tried it in the Black Spirit Race. Facing the natives of Planet Nalun, it was not as believable as saying that they were Gods.
When Tomar heard that, his eyes lit up, and he had a look of agitation on his face.
Seeing that, Han Xiao placed his hand on his lips and smiled. "However, I hope that you can keep this a secret. It is best if you are the only one who knows that we are Gods."
After completing the mission, it would be time for him to kidnap Tomar.
"I understand." Tomar nodded his head like a chick pecking on rice.
He originally wanted to tell the others in the gathering place, but since the 'God' had personally made a request, there must be some difficulties. As such, he decided to keep this secret in his heart.
