"The current situation is that a large group of powerful Void Creatures that have been sealed here for an unknown period of time suddenly began to riot. They even mastered an ability that I don't know what it is called. However, just as I was about to get serious, they were knocked back by this Treant that I had unintentionally created. Then, behind the passage that the Void Creatures used to enter this world, there was a creature that launched a destructive attack … "
Li Ke immediately responded to the Great Wizard that he respected very much. However, after listening to his description, Ryze closed his eyes and pinched the space between his eyebrows with his fingers.
"Alright, I roughly understand. Fortunately, the world is still here. Young man, you did well, but … "
Ryz stared at the bottom of the deep valley, because he once again felt the call of that power, the call of the great thing that had existed in this world for a long time … and bewitchment. He once again saw his hometown that had been burned down by the flames, and the desire in his heart for this power. However, he still managed to get rid of that almost unbreakable desire because while he felt his desire for the power of the World Rune, he also heard the screams of those innocent people who died tragically when his hometown was destroyed.
After he got rid of that bewitchment power, he immediately turned his head and looked at Li Ke and the two strange Treants who were still standing at the same spot. He directly made a request to Li Ke and the others.
"Can you send me down before you fight? I feel that I need to go down there."
His behavior stunned Li Ke for a moment. He immediately realized that his guess about the Void Creatures using the power of the flames was correct. The Void Creatures paid a certain price and successfully used the power of the World Rune to help them escape. However, Ryze's request made Li Ke a little confused. Since it was confirmed that it was the World Rune, why didn't Ryze quickly use the teleportation spell?
"Well, wouldn't it be more convenient to teleport directly?"
Li Ke still remembered Ryze's teleportation spell very clearly. The last time when he fought with Zooey, Li Ke felt that he could use spatial magic to fight against Zooey who was a real Star Elf if he wasn't more fragile.
"I'm a little tired, and magic is a power that can't be used casually. Don't you understand?"
Ryz couldn't help but shake his head. Li Ke's attitude towards magic and power was one of the reasons why he didn't want Li Ke to come in contact with the World Runes. He could see that if Li Ke got his hands on the World Runes, then he would definitely find a way to use the World Runes to serve ordinary people. Although this was a good idea, the World Rune was too dangerous. He couldn't bet that the World Rune wouldn't cause a world-destroying war just because Li Ke used it to do good deeds.
"I see …"
Li Ke nodded. He knew that Ryze was a very cautious person when it came to the use of his power. He was different from Ryze, who often used his transformations to travel at supersonic speeds. However, just as he was about to command the Ents that he had yet to name to send Ryze down, he suddenly realized something. Then, he immediately turned his head to look at his back and discovered that there were traces of magic runes on his back!
"Ritz! You did something to my body! "
In an instant, Li Ke understood why Ritz could teleport directly to his side. He immediately used his power to erase the rune mark that Ritz had engraved on his body and questioned Ritz, who had an apologetic look on his face.
"You still found out … I'm sorry for treating you like this, but you know that I can't let a person who can resist the power of a star go back and forth in the mortal world. If you want to kill me, I'm more than happy to do so, but please wait until I complete my mission."
Ritz shook his head tiredly. His coordinates were only a location. If Li Ke was like the others one day and killed innocent people for his own selfish desires, he would directly use this mark to send Li Ke to heaven or banish him to another world.
"Huh? I respected you so much, but all I got in return was suspicion? "
Li Ke was very unhappy. He thought that he respected Ritz, but Ritz was still wary of him. Although he could understand, he couldn't accept it.
"Who asked me to be the guardian of this world … Although I don't want to be a guardian."
Ritz's figure suddenly bent down. He had already imagined the scene where Li Ke killed him. In fact, he was willing to pay the price for such behavior, but his duty made it impossible for him to die like this. This was a conflict caused by his responsibility, and it was also his fate that he couldn't avoid. And this time, he was likely to die directly because Li Ke's power had reached a level that he couldn't understand. But even so, if he could turn back time, he would still make the same choice.
His personal life couldn't be compared to the safety of this world.
"So, how many marks did you leave on my body?"
Li Ke's eyes revealed a dangerous aura. Although the old mage's spell was indeed very secretive, after Li Ke caught the aura, he had a way to reveal the marks planted with Ritz's mana.
"One."
Ryz looked at Li Ke with an honest expression, but Li Ke only stared at him in silence. The old Mage could only purse his lips uneasily before speaking again.
"Well, there are three more."
Li Ke sneered. He finally experienced for himself why Ritz was alone. But this matter wasn't over yet. He would teach Ritz a good lesson. At the same time, he placed his own power on Ryze's body. If he discovered that Ryze was going to attack him again, or if he was going to break free from his control, he would immediately explode his entire body. But he wouldn't kill Ritz immediately. Because after he killed Ritz, the World Rune would definitely reappear and set off a storm in this world. He wasn't interested in taking the blame.
But first, he had to erase all the runes that Ritz put on him. And he didn't believe that Ritz said there were three more. This old mage had at least four or five more runes on him. So he immediately stimulated his own power and used it to simulate Ritz's power fluctuations. Then, a shocking scene appeared.
Li Ke became a figure of light covered with runes.
Ritz scratched his cheeks awkwardly. He had lied a lot in his life, and it wasn't the first time he was forced to lie by the truth. However, there weren't many times when the contrast was so obvious.
"… Didn't you say there were three?"
Li Ke was so shocked that he forgot about his anger. At this time, his words were full of confusion.
