In the headquarter of the Hand of Paleness in Heidler City, inside a dark, pointed magic tower, after the destruction of Cracking (Advanced) and Elements Decomposition, Fernando and Hathaway found the entrance to the Land of Filth, Congus' demiplane, according to Bergner's astrology.
Then, they repeated the action again. Without the control of the master, the two grand arcanists and a prophet destroyed most of the defense in only an hour. The only thing left in front of them was the secret chamber where Demigod-lich kept his phylactery. They saw a black box that was embedded with rare gems and sensed the bouncing fire of souls inside.
"It's the barrier of 'Despair Abyss'." Bergner reminded Fernando and Hathaway to be careful of the counterattack. How could the magic circle that Demigod-lich used to protect his phylactery not have hidden dangers?
Fernando twisted the space around with 'Electromagnetic Storm' and blocked the last connection between the magic circle and the control center. Hathaway, on the other hand, began to crack the barrier by force with 'Luxury Dismantling'. They did not have the time or patience to analyze the puzzle slowly and destroy the defense at the minimal cost. In order to buy more time to save people, it was acceptable for them to suffer part of the counterattack and be heavily wounded.
The magic circles were dismantled and broken one after another. The secret chamber seemed to have turned into an abyss that was about to burst out powerful counterattack.
Suddenly, Fernando, Hathaway and Bergner sensed something and raised their heads at the same time. They looked at the black phylactery through the transparent barrier.
The space above the phylactery was suddenly twisted and blurred, displaying the scene of infinite brilliance. The golden skull screamed miserably in the brilliance and was broken and melted.
The air of destruction seemed to be sensed by Fernando, Hathaway and Bergner even though they were separated by the barrier of 'Despair Abyss'.
As the golden skull quickly disappeared, the projection of the scene became blurred, and the 'perspective' was further and further away.
The three legendary sorcerers saw, in shock, a weird orange 'mushroom' cloud rising in the mountains where the brilliance burst out. It was so enormous that it almost blocked half of the sky.
Shockwaves spread outwards, stirring up a ring of smoke and dust, making the "mushroom" appear top-heavy. It was very strange.
After leaving a deep impression on Fernando, Hathaway and Bergner, the 'mushroom' disappeared together with the projection of the scene.
"The power of this explosion is close to the full-powered attack of the Chairman." Recalling what he saw just now, Bergner made a judgment. He looked at Hathaway, as if he were asking for her authority in the field of elements. "It looks like a simple explosive spell. Generally speaking, the power of such spells can be improved. I wonder if it can reach the level of God's Arrival in the end."
Hathaway looked at the front quietly, as if she were thinking about something or organizing her words. "I feel that this explosion has something to do with the mysteries of the sun. As for how much it can be improved, I can't tell without practical arcana theories and magic structures."
"Who is Congus fighting against exactly?" Fernando slightly frowned. "Does the mysteries of the sun have something to do with Lucien? But what does he have to launch such a spell?"
When the illusionary sun rose earlier, Fernando already felt that it might have something to do with Lucien. When Congus hunted Lucien, the same scene happened again. Naturally, he connected the two things. However, he did not think that Lucien could reach the peak of legendary all of a sudden. Even though he had learned something from his previous studies and grasped the mysteries of the sun and the models of legendary spells, his strength still had to be improved step by step. Therefore, he directly suspected that Lucien had borrowed some sort of strength.
The rare magic gems on the black phylactery began to emit different colors. They absorbed the other materials around and began to reconstruct a golden skull. Fernando and Hathaway looked at each other and sped up to crack 'Despair Abyss'.
After almost an hour, the golden skull was reconstructed, and Congus woke up from the darkness. The burst of light that resembled the arrival of the sun seemed to still be lingering in his eyes.
For the undead creatures, such light was the greatest damage. Also, it was accompanied by terrifying blasts and unbelievably high temperature. Congus almost couldn't survive it and become the first lich who couldn't be revived even with a phylactery.
"The Silver Moon has been revived for a long time and has been waiting for an opportunity. Thankfully, I'm back alive." Congus thought in fear. At this moment, his soul was still growing inside the golden skull, and he hadn't sensed what was around yet. "Also, what spell did Lucien Evans use exactly? How can it be so terrifying? "
Although he only saw it for a moment, he could tell based on his experience that it was the Silver Moon Alterna who lent her strength to Lucien so that he could perform the spell. If the spell belonged to Alterna in the first place, she wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
"How many more secrets is this guy hiding exactly?" The more Congus chased after Lucien, the more alarmed he was. But soon, he calmed himself down and thought about his next plan. "The Silver Moon has been revived. The hunting is about to become the hunted. It's a pity that the main consciousness of the mysterious existence in the World of Souls was erased by Lucien's' legendary spell 'together with my body. What a waste of effort. I even gave a ring as a gift!"
He was very satisfied with the legendary ring that he crafted and had always regarded it as a divine item. In order to increase the success rate of the ring, he chose the domain of Necromancy, which he was best at, and his legendary class was the basic structure. Therefore, many abilities overlapped with his own, but it did not affect the fact that it was the only legendary item that he had crafted. It was a masterpiece that he was proud of.
"Lucien and Natasha are not dead yet. I can't risk staying in the Congress anymore. Should I join the guys in the World of Souls, or should I hide in the Dark Mountain Range?"
After considering for a moment, Congus made up his mind and prepared to enter the World of Souls. He gnashed his teeth and thought to himself, "If there is a chance in the future, I will fulfill my promise and turn the two little rats into corpse prostitutes!"
After a while, his soul power recovered. Congus' golden skull floated up, and the needle-like redness in his eye sockets were restored. He was about to go to the nearest gap of the World of Souls.
"You?" It was not until this moment that he discovered Fernando, Hathaway, and Bergner who were watching him. Sensing the Lord of Storm's repressed feelings, he hurried to say, "Lucien is not dead, and neither is Natasha!"
He was worried that the old pervert Storm would turn his roar into an attack, erasing him along with his phylactery. His strength had regressed to its original level, and he had not even recovered half of his strength. There was no way he could resist Fernando, not to mention the expressionless Hathaway beside him.
"Then you deserve to die too!" Fernando roared.
Congus calmed down and looked at the 'prophet' sent by the Congress. "Bergner, it's my fault for conspiring to kill the senior-rank sorcerers of the Congress. It's also my fault for secretly searching for the Silver Moon Alterna and the World of Souls. I should be punished as a warning to other sorcerers in the Congress. However, Lucien Evans is not dead. Please pay attention to the standard of punishment. Also, I request that a meeting of the Highest Council be convened so that all the members will discuss my punishment together. This is the treatment that a legendary sorcerer deserves!"
There were only eighteen legends in the Congress, and the most powerful Church had no more than twenty. Legends were the most advanced combat ability and the foundation for the survival of a force. For any organization, the loss of a legend would be a huge setback. Therefore, Congus was qualified and confident to make such a statement.
Bergner, who prioritized the development of the Congress of Magic, nodded and said to Fernando and Hathaway, "Congus violated the law of the Congress this time and almost killed a senior-rank sorcerer. He did make a great mistake, but it was only almost. Lucien Evans is still alive. Therefore, Congus' crime is not serious enough to warrant his death."
"Also, I believe that the two of you are well aware of the role of a legend. Appropriate punishment will be enough. For example, under the witness of the Origin of Magic, Congus can make an oath to the two of you or Lucien Evans that he will not hurt you again and offer abundant compensation. Then, he can work as the executor of a few plans of the Congress to explore dangerous areas. That should be enough."
"Hunting down a senior-rank sorcerer of the Congress without any concerns is a serious provocation to the order of the Congress. If such an act is not punished, I believe that all the sorcerers in the Congress will feel insecure, and there will be no cohesion at all. Compared to such a consequence, the loss of a legendary sorcerer is not unacceptable! " The Lord of Storm tried to suppress his fury, but even when he expressed his reason, it sounded like a roar.
Congus still looked at Bergner and said, "But Lucien Evans is not dead, and he did not suffer any actual loss. Is a senior-rank sorcerer more important or a legendary sorcerer more important? Although he is likely to become a grand arcanist in the next few years, it is only a possibility. His new alchemy system has not been proved yet! Are we going to sacrifice a Legend just to help him vent a little anger? "
"I believe that the members of the Highest Council should be able to make a wise and clear-headed judgment on which is more important, a sixth-circle sorcerer who is likely to become a legendary sorcerer or a sorcerer who has already advanced into legendary!"
He intentionally avoided the terrifying legendary spell that Lucien performed just now and only talked about his current identity and position.
As long as the matter was brought to the Highest Council, Vicente, who had the right of veto, could at least save his own life!
Bergner looked at Fernando and Hathaway in embarrassment. "In any case, the Highest Council should make a joint decision on how to deal with a legendary sorcerer, instead of discussing it in private. Alright, Fernando, Hathaway, let's bring Congus back to Allyn and convene a meeting of the Highest Council. We will discuss his mistakes, evaluate his sincerity and his value, and make the final decision. "
He had been entrusted by Douglas to stop the two grand arcanists from going too far. Therefore, he was implying that the two grand arcanists should focus on the development of the Congress and consider the importance of a legendary sorcerer.
Fernando's face was slightly twisted, and storms were raging in his eyes. However, he controlled himself and remained silent, as if he had accepted Bergner's persuasion.
Hathaway, on the other hand, stepped out softly, as if she accepted the result more easily than Fernando did.
Seeing that, Congus was relieved and began to enhance himself with spells such as' Magic Order 'in case of any accidents.
When Hathaway walked to Bergner's front, Bergner suddenly felt that a storm that could destroy the world had broken out in the small secret chamber. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, hurricane roared, and cracking noises echoed incessantly. The weather within a dozen square kilometers was affected. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and a heavy storm was raging.
Congus' miserable scream came to an abrupt end. The crystal ball in Bergner's hands glittered, and he was about to save him, but the emotionless silver eyes on Hathaway's beautiful face simply stared at him, making him give up all his actions.
"Ahhhh!" The sound of the phylactery being broken echoed, followed by a scream that seemed to be echoing in the depths of the soul, but it soon disappeared.
The wind and rain stopped. Fernando walked to Bergner, with lightning flashing in his crimson eyes. He roared horribly, "Convene a meeting of the Highest Council.
"Convene a meeting of the Highest Council to discuss which is more important, the two living grand arcanists or the dead legendary sorcerer!"
