Chapter 245: The Arrival of the Dark Throne

Chapter 245: The Arrival of the Dark Throne

In the northwest region of the continent, on the Sael Plain.

A stag was leisurely grazing on the green grass when it suddenly sensed something amiss. It abruptly lifted its head and looked around.

In the next second, a distortion appeared in the void, tearing the stag to shreds and filling the sky with a mist of blood. Immediately after, a black hole expanded from a small point, swiftly growing into a three-meter-tall, nearly two-meter-wide portal.

Several figures in long robes emerged from the portal.

"Is this the Starlight Continent?" Andru looked around, frowning his lips, "The energy particle density is lower than I had anticipated."

"The dimensional barrier hasn't been fully repaired yet, and the Starlight Continent isn't the Main Plane. The energy particle density is definitely lower than the Umbral Plane," another figure added.

"That's true."

And Ru nodded in deep agreement, noticing Evan's furrowed brows. "What's the matter, Evan?"

"I haven't sensed the presence of the Tower of Stars."

Evan gazed at the crystal orb in his hand, his pale face full of doubt.

Upon hearing this, the others were immediately startled.

"What's going on?"

"Is there a problem with the device?"

"It shouldn't be. This thing was given to us by Lord Myria, and it was checked before we left to ensure there were no issues!"

"Could the Tower of Stars have been destroyed?"

At the last remark, the area fell silent.

Then several people laughed.

"How could that be?"

"I don't think the Starlight Continent has anything powerful Enough to destroy the Tower of Stars."

"Milten, when did you become so humorous?"

The wizard named Milten shrugged, not contradicting, as he also found his guess to be rather far-fetched.

Evan raised his Hand to interrupt everyone, speaking in a grave tone, "Regardless, the Tower of Stars is most likely malfunctioning. We need to find the Tower of Stars and see what's wrong."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Tower of Stars is a hidden chess piece left by the Dark Throne on the Starlight Continent. For a thousand years, they haven't cared much about not receiving 'slaves,' but the construction potions and Spirit Pearls inside the tower are a considerable treasure, which we must retrieve.

Evan continued, "The dimensional barrier here hasn't been fully repaired. Lord Myria's Wizard Tower will need some time to pass through the dimensional barrier. Before Lord Myria arrives, we should gather intelligence and, if possible, control a few countries. Once Lord Myria arrives, we will immediately begin the conquest of the Starlight Continent."

And Ru laughed, "In my opinion, we can control the entire Starlight Continent on our own, without waiting for Lord Myria to arrive."

This statement received nods of agreement from the others.

In their view, the Starlight Continent has been sealed off, and with the energy depletion over a thousand years, the lineage and development of wizards have likely declined to a minimal level.

There might not even be any official wizards left on the Starlight Continent.

Even if there were only some wizard Apprentices and knights, their numbers, no matter how many, would not be enough to resist them.

After all, they had a dozen wizards on their side!

"Do not be too complacent, after all, we have no understanding of the current Starlight Continent."

Although Evan agreed with And Ru internally, he still spoke in a measured tone.

"Next, I will go to find the location of the Tower of Stars. You should each gather intelligence separately, act as you see fit, and use the Bone Crows for important communications."

Everyone nodded in agreement and then dispersed.

"And Ru, let's see who can control the most territory first, what do you think?"

Right before parting, a wizard called out to And Ru with a laugh.

And Ru glanced at him, replying, "Sure, let's make a bet?"

"Three bottles of construction Potions."

"It's a deal!"

And Ru laughed heartily, rising into the air and dashing off into the distance.

Before long, the outline of a town came into view, not a small one.

And Ru felt a slight joy, hovering above the city and scanning the area. His gaze quickly locked onto the most luxurious mansion within the city.

To gather intelligence, the fastest method was to find the local noble lord.

In a flash, And Ru vanished from the sky, reappearing inside the mansion.

He spread his Spirit Power and quickly sensed his target, his figure disappearing once more.

In the drawing room, Baron Karl was leisurely sipping his black tea when a figure suddenly appeared before him.

"Who are you?!"

Marquis Karl was startled, leaping to his feet, and just as he was about to act, he met a pair of profoundly deep eyes.

As the faint blue light in his eyes faded, Viscount Kallen's movements instantly froze, his facial expression turning blank, and his eyes remained fixed in place.

"Still a Legendary Knight,"

Andrew's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected that a randomly chosen noble lord would actually be a First Circle Legendary Knight.

In the energy-scarce Starlight Continent, Legendary Knights should be quite rare, right?

Or was it because the concentration of energy particles had increased in recent years, leading to more Legendary Knights?

With a subject right in front of him, Andrew didn't think much and directly began to inquire.

A formal Wizard's Hypnosis, even a First Circle Legendary Knight would find it hard to resist.

Under the Hypnosis, Viscount Kallen could not help but answer all of Andrew's questions.

As the questions continued, Andrew's face gradually showed growing shock.

The Starlight Continent had already been unified?

And there was even a formal Wizard organization?

Andrew was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

While the unification of the Starlight Continent was surprising, it was still acceptable.

But the appearance of a Wizard organization was highly unusual.

In an energy-scarce environment, the number of Wizard apprentices on the Starlight Continent should be very limited, even if the concentration of energy particles had increased over the past couple of centuries.

But according to the noble lord's description, this organization called Star Alliance not only had a Wizard Academy, but had also cultivated thousands of Wizard apprentices!

Even more unbelievable, the Star Alliance even had formal Wizards, and not just one!

"How is this possible?"

"Where did the Starlight Continent get the resources to cultivate so many Wizard apprentices and formal Wizards?"

Andrew found it hard to believe. Even if he dismantled the Tower of the Stars and gathered all the resources, it still wouldn't be enough to achieve this level.

If not for his confidence in his Hypnosis, he would have suspected that Viscount Kallen was lying to him.

"Where did that Wizard named Su Nan come from?"

Andrew was full of doubt.

A native of the Starlight Continent, who could create a Wizard organization from scratch, even if it didn't amount to much, was already a rare and precious feat.

To think that in the elemental Wasteland, the Starlight Continent could still produce such talent.

If placed in the Wizard Golden Age a thousand years ago, he would have been a truly astonishing genius!

"Pity, you were born at the wrong time."

Despite his lament, Andrew's plans didn't change.

The Dark Throne was determined to take control of the Starlight Continent. If Su Nan was willing to submit and hand over the Star Alliance, the Dark Throne might spare his life and absorb him into their ranks. Otherwise, they would have to exterminate him ruthlessly.

"Though a Wizard, a Wizard who ascended during the Elemental Wasteland should be far inferior in both foundation and combat power compared to one who ascended under normal conditions."

"I hope those fellows have some sense, otherwise, they'll have to see what a true Wizard is capable of."

Andrew chuckled, extending his index finger to touch Viscount Kallen's forehead. Then, a ghostly gray shadow was slowly extracted from Viscount Kallen's body, struggling but bound by invisible restraints, unable to escape, only to be injected into a gem, ultimately vanishing, leaving behind a faint, mournful cry.

The gem's light flashed, transforming into a translucent light gray crystal.

At the same time, Viscount Kallen's body went limp, falling onto the sofa, already devoid of life.

"The soul quality is good."

Andrew nodded in satisfaction, collecting the soul crystal, then strode out of the room.

The current situation of the Starlight Continent exceeded his expectations. Despite his disdain for the native Wizards of the Star Alliance, he wouldn't be arrogant enough to think he could stand against the Star Alliance alone.

"Seems the bet can only be dropped."

Originally, Andrew had planned to choose a powerful nation, display some power, and force the ruler of that nation to submit to him. But now, he had to abandon this idea.

The pressing matter was to first reunite with his companions, then find the headquarters of the Star Alliance and suppress it decisively!

"Pity this waste doesn't know where the headquarters of the Star Alliance are, looks like I'll have to ask the Emperor of the Star Empire."

Stepping out of the main door, Andrew didn't hide his tracks, directly soaring into the sky.

At the same time, the raven tattoo on the back of his right hand suddenly glowed with light, next moment it came to life, peeling from his skin, rapidly expanding to human head size, and transforming into a raven skeleton with white bone wings, flapping away into the distance.

The Bone Ravens, known for their exceptional tracking abilities, could find fellow members of the Obsidian Throne even if they were separated by thousands of miles within the same plane, and communicate remotely with their keeper.

In essence, they were like advanced communication tools with built-in tracking functions.

Andrul released a Bone Raven, aiming to quickly locate and reunite with his companions.

However, the Bone Raven had barely flown a hundred meters when a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked from afar, shattering the Bone Raven into pieces with a loud boom.

Andrul's eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction of the lightning strike, only to see a man in a Long Robe, seated on The Back Of A Strange Dragon Beast.

The dragon beast was over ten meters long, with scales that shimmered like pearls. Upon closer inspection, there Were Glimps Of Golden Light, And A Pair Of Nearly Transparent Silver Wings.

Andrul immediately recognized the lineage of this dragon beast.

It was a high-tier sub-dragon species known As The Storm Dragon, Also Referred To As The Cloud Dragon Or Wind Dragon, Typically Inhabiting The Cloud Layers And Possessing The Power To Control Storms.

Judging by its size and the luster of its scales, the storm dragon before him must have had a highly concentrated bloodline, likely not far from a bloodline evolution, and most probably had reached the Fourth Circle Legendary Level.

The fact that this man could tame such a storm dragon revealed his own significant status.

"Are you a wizard of the Star Alliance?" Andrul's eyes narrowed slightly.

The man smiled faintly and said, "You are a wizard of the Obsidian Throne, right? We've been waiting for you and your companions for a long time. How is your companion?"

Andrul's expression changed slightly at these words.

What was going on?

How could the Star Alliance know he was from The Obsidian Throne?

And from the tone, it seemed the Star Alliance had known about their recent invasion of the Star Continent for quite some time.

For a moment, Andrul was full of suspicion and uncertainty.

"Stop wasting time with him, Xeman."

A cold voice suddenly came from behind.

A man with a cold expression slowly rose into the air, blocking Andrul's retreat and surrounding him with Xeman.

"We were lucky to corner this guy by chance, so we need to act fast. If we wait for the Hunter Corps to arrive, our hard-earned achievements will be for naught."

Xeman was taken aback for a moment but then laughed and nodded, "You're right, Colei. We must act swiftly and decisively."

Hunter Corps?

To name themselves as ‘Hunter Corps’ was rather presumptuous!

But what infuriated Andrul even more was the air of certainty in the words of the two men before him, as if they did not consider him a threat at all!

"Such arrogance!" Andrul sneered coldly, "Let's see how powerful the wizards of the Star Alliance are!"

Two mere native wizards of the Elemental Wasteland, at most in their first stage of elemental mastery, thinking they could win two-on-one?

The battle erupted almost instantly, with the three of them simultaneously casting spells with brief incantations and segmented casting techniques.

In an instant, dazzling magical light Erupted in the sky!

Crack!

Countless vicious white bones erupted from beneath Andrul's skin, rapidly enveloping his entire body and rapidly expanding and growing.

Although he did not hold the so-called Hunter Corps in high regard, Andrul did not intend to face more enemies, so he unleashed his full power and used his innate ability without hesitation, planning to quickly deal with the two men before him and then reunite with his companions.

In the blink of an eye, a canine giant beast over twenty meters long, composed of layers of white bones and covered in dense bone spines, emerged in the sky, spreading a thick layer of dark ash across the sky!

"The White Bone innate crystal, huh?"

Xeman's eyes flickered, a silver glow appearing between his brows, swiftly spreading, and his skin instantly gleaming with a striking silver hue.

Swoosh!

Countless silver liquids gushed from his pores, coalescing into sharp, pointed cones, and assaulting Andrul like a torrent, overwhelming him with a force akin to a tidal wave!

At the same time, Colei also displayed the same innate ability, unleashing a sky full of silver cones, fiercely attacking Andrul!

Boom!

Andrul could not evade in time, instantly being engulfed by the silver flood!

The countless sharp cones cut and pierced him furiously, his white bone skin being ground down layer by layer, and his massive white bone form shrinking in an instant!

"What is this innate ability?!"

Andrul's heart was filled with shock.
