Warlock Apprentice

With the help of Prelude to Rebirth, the group of several hundred undead creatures was wiped out under five minutes.

Even since he left Dark Castle, Angor didn’t encounter that many undead creatures. It was a great pity that the cylinder of his gun was already filled with the white bullets, so killing these no longer yielded any results.

Keely was now interrogating the Duon, who was obviously knocking on death’s door. It seemed this creature with an upper body of a yellow carp and a pair of human legs was one of the weakest in their ranks.

Everyone in the group apart from Angor and Nausica knew how to use Discern Language, so they all went to Keely to learn where the exit was.

Nausica saw Angor lost in thoughts and decided to ask. “What’s wrong?”

“That woman… Is she perhaps ‘that person’ we know?”

“Which one?”

The strange woman’s attitude suggested that she knew and hated both Angor and Nausica, with Angor being the main target.

This was the Research Department—the business core of the entire Floating Mech City.

Lawson had not even reached the building when a dozen wizards in their department uniforms came out to greet him. The current chief of the department—”The Fool” Muse was taking the lead.

Muse was wearing his usual professional smile, which usually did not mean his true feelings. But this time, Muse did mean to smile sincerely since his partner was here.

“You came already? I can take the job and save you the trouble, you know?” Muse said.

“Someone will get the wrong ideas if the two city masters move in different directions, so we’d better go together,” said Lawson. “The garden promotion is crucial to us and we ought to take extra caution.”

Muse yawned. “Is it? I can’t comprehend the sequence of purification with this average talent of mine anyway.”

Some of the other wizards rolled their eyes. If Chief Muse is “average”, are we garbage then?

“Learning the sequence is not impossible. Succeed and you’ll have a better chance at challenging the rank of legendary,” Lawson replied. “Besides, we have over a thousand wizards from major organizations waiting. We should at least make it look official.”

“Yeah yeah, whatever, let’s go.” Muse didn’t seem interested at all.

At the same time, apart from those who were in seclusions, all the wizards in the lower side of Floating Mech City began to head toward the valley where the purification garden was located.

When Lawson arrived, the valley was fully occupied by wizards from various places.

Several guards carried a number of screens to the scene and combined them into one single large screen. The screen flashed for a while before it displayed a round-shaped plaza that had a number of strange-looking statues. The eyes of the statues were shining with different colors, while the light they emitted all gathered at the center of the area.

The central point of the plaza was empty. As more light joined and gave birth to a growing light spot, the spot slowly began to pulse in rhythm like someone’s heart.

All wizards gazed at the light spot intensively, and they did not even bother to conceal their obvious desires.

This location was called the Altar of Demise, while the light spot was the embodiment of the garden’s law, the Law of Purification.
