Chapter 492 Good Luck
Flame Demon Greem had successfully advanced to Second Grade. This news was spreading as fast as a plague.
Adept Sanazar went silent when she received this news. The light in Adept Fügen’s blinked his eyes, shocked and stunned. Adept Keoghan’s jaw even dropped. He had no idea how to react.
Second Grade. That was an actual Second Grade adept!
Put them in any country or any adept organization, and they would still be core, foundational members.
There was no need to look anywhere else. Just look at the Sarubo Clan.
If Greem sincerely wished to stay in the Sarubo Clan, then apart from Third Grade Sanazar, he would likely be the one with the most authority in the clan in the World of Adepts. Even the veteran Adept Fügen might not have an absolute guarantee to stand above him.
Over the past couple of years, the Sarubo Clan’s influence had increased relatively quickly, thanks to the three lesser planes they held in their hands. Excluding the three adepts that had appeared in Fire Throne, seven new adepts had advanced within the Sarubo Clan. Feidnan City had become a lively and bustling place once again.
Every adept and apprentice that belonged to Fire Throne would receive two to three times more resources than they currently had in the foreseeable future. That was what they valued the most!
While everyone was rejoicing and celebrating, Billis had been summoned by Greem to the fifth level of the tower and disappeared into a teleportation array.
…………
The Tower of Fate.
When the brilliant white light dispersed from in front of him, Billis endured the immense pressure from the shift in space and opened his eyes to assess the strange tiny lifeform near the teleportation array.
It was a teenage human girl the size of a palm. She had thin wings that resembled those of dragonflies behind her back. Specks of light would drop from her body as she danced in the air.
An elementium fairy?
Billis couldn’t help but lick his lips. His pale-green compound eyes lit up with a greedy green light from under the shadow of his hood.
“Follow me, big bug!” Elementium Fairy Helen, who was holding her magic wand in her hand, obviously didn’t like this strange fellow shrouded in his cloak. Her tone when speaking was exceptionally sharp.
Helen beat her wings and flew away having said that.
“Damned bastard. I will eat you one day!” Billis cursed wickedly before stumbling after that foul-mouthed fairy.
A male and a female adept were already waiting inside the astrology platform at the top of the Tower of Fate.
The male adept was a strange humanoid made of flames. Judging by its brow, the silhouette, and the mental flux radiating from it, it was Billis’ master– Second Grade Fire Adept Greem.
The female adept had a slender figure. She wore a purple starry robe as the ethereal radiance of stars shone down upon her, putting yet another intangible, mysterious, and beautiful coat on her shoulders.
She was young, and her face was gentle and soft. Her bright blue eyes, paired with their inclined corners, gave her a mysterious and seductive look.
Billis froze for an instant.
His master Greem had just sent him into the teleportation array back in Fire Throne. How did he run into another Greem here? He could tell from Greem’s aura that it didn’t possess that terrifying spiritual pressure that Second Grade adepts possessed.
“Come here, Billis!” The flame human seemed to have seen through Billis’ doubts, “This isn’t my actual body; it is only a spiritual projection. The matter we need to perform today is far too important. My true body can’t leave Fire Throne, so I had no choice but to use my spiritual projection to talk with you.”
After sensing the contract powers radiating from the depths of the flame being’s soul, Billis obediently walked up to the two of them and waited for orders.
“My actual self has already explained to you what you need to know. I have something here. Keep it with you always!” The flame humanoid opened his hand. Two strange objects rested in his scarlet, fiery palm.
A black orb the size of a pigeon’s egg.
A fist-sized metal ball radiating an intense spatial flux.
“The black orb is the Orb of Deception. Keep it with you once you reach the other side. It will hide your identity as an invader. The metal ball is a simplified teleportation array. It can only teleport two people at once and will take approximately five days for a complete charge of energy.”
“The spatial energy within it has been emptied to avoid the spatial flux from affecting its teleportation precision during the interplanar teleportation. That means that you will have to survive alone for five days once you reach the other side. You will have to find a safe spot to activate the metal ball once it charges up with energy. Then you will be able to receive reinforcements from us!”
Billis listened respectfully to Greem’s words, not daring to miss any critical information. Even though this was his first time experiencing a planar invasion, he knew very well the potential dangers in a different world.
Billis kept the two objects in his spatial ring, then swallowed the ring. He made a last careful check of everything he had on him before nodding at the flame being.
“Stand in the black circle!” The beautiful witch that had been bustling about the hall stopped everything she was doing and coldly spoke to Billis.
Billis stood in the circle as he was ordered.
The witch then started to perform an unusual dance around the array, chanting odd notes as she did so.
Immense magical energies surged continuously into the array under Alice’s guidance. Brilliant light enveloped the astrology platform.
The light persisted for seven minutes or so.
When the light finally started to dim, and it became possible to see on the platform, Billis’ silhouette had vanished entirely.
Only a solemn-looking flame humanoid and an exhausted Alice remained.
“Say, do you think we will succeed this time?” Greem sighed softly.
“There’s only a twenty-three percent chance of this interplanar teleportation failing with my spacestone as a spatial anchor. If this fellow is truly that unfortunate, then we can try a second time one month from.” Alice spoke in an unconcerned manner.
Er…
Greem’s projection was speechless.
Try a second time? Where am I supposed to find another piece of spacestone?!
As for Billis’ fate if he failed the teleportation… Greem hesitated for a moment and didn’t ask.
He was afraid some more terrifying words would come out of Alice’s mouth.
So, Billis; good luck!
