Warlock Apprentice

The timer indicated that there was only one minute left for the world to exist, and those who failed to reach the Sea of Purification was completely desperate.

The ground was vanishing while a flood crashed down from the sky as if someone just tore a hole in heaven.

The apprentices finally understood what was up there upon seeing the incoming flood.

But it was too late—those still on the ground was unlikely to push through the deadly current and head to the sky now.

The helpless apprentices were either swallowed by razor-sharp turbulence, incinerated by scorching lava, or devoured by unexpected sinkholes. Together with monsters that failed to reach the barrier, they slowly became compost corpses that facilitated the growth of the garden.

The chaos of destruction became irrevocable, and slowly, it came to an end.

After dealing with the Lord of Tentacles and the Ignis Medusozoa, Lawson had returned to the machine tower.

He absolutely didn’t want to die since there was still a lot for him to do.

Thinking about this, he puffed up his courage and headed straight into the silent darkness below.

Just after he left, a fire stream descended to his previous position, leaving a trail of roasted monster fishes behind.

The fire was powerful enough to repel water. Across the dancing embers, one could see a girl in red dance shoes floating within.

Her black cat, Luna, was joyfully swimming around by paddling its chubby paws. The creature didn’t seem scared of the place at all.

“This is the place then?” Keely frowned. “But why would he go into that pit?”

She couldn’t help getting angry when thinking about Angor. According to her plan, she was going to protect Angor while dragging him along as she took the initiative and explore the garden. But after witnessing how Angor confronted the Lord of Tentacles, she changed her mind and was willing to treat Angor as an equal teammate.

But then, Angor suddenly said something about going to the sky and left on his own, and he was too fast for Keely to catch up.

Keely would not care where Angor went or what became of him had she not agreed to her teacher to assist Angor.

While still not showing much of her emotion, Keely grabbed her cat by the scruff and pointed to the sea trench. “Angor is in there?”

Luna’s nose twitched and released some bubbles. It seemed the creature was choked by water, so it failed to answer Keely for the moment.

Finally, Luna nodded after receiving more of Keely’s angry stares.

“Did he find the exit or… is this actually the exit?” She considered and also dived in.

Angor had no idea Keely was following his track. He had swum for over 3,000 kilometers now, and he was getting slower since it was growing colder and terribly pressurized.

The barrier created by the Purification Field was forced to shrink. If it somehow failed, Angor would have to rely on his own mana or spirit power; otherwise, his untrained body would easily get squashed.

Thankfully, the Purification Field seemed stable enough.

There were also different types of fishes down here, including dangerous-looking ones.

At one time, he ran into the first supernatural creature he met in this sea—a horned seal. But it wasn’t strong enough to withstand a single attack from him. He kept going after dismembering the animal.

When the purification barrier started to flicker dangerously, he finally reached the end of the trench. As he speculated, the trench was more than five thousand kilometers deep, which was pretty impressive when compared to the famous deep-sea trenches on Earth.

There was soft, white sand under his feet, inside which several shrimps were wiggling about.

Probably because of the lack of light, the creatures living in this depth all had random, terrible appearances since there was no need to look pretty. The shrimps appeared more like scorpions.

Without minding the insignificant wildlife, Angor used Light to survey the environment.
