Bloodline of the Wizard-Chapter 308 - 157: The Shattered World Stone, Coordinates Connecting to the Catastrophe_2
Chapter 308: Chapter 157: The Shattered World Stone, Coordinates Connecting to the Catastrophe_2
"This is a good start..."
Ronan caught a glimpse of terror flashing in the eyes of the Ice Crystal Demon Snake.
Having fear is a good thing.
Fear accumulating little by little, until it surpasses its innate rebelliousness and arrogance, that would be the day Ronan truly tames it.
In a sense, signing the "Bosilina’s betting agreement" is a good thing for both Ronan and the Ice Crystal Demon Snake.
Ronan has always been chased by something from behind, never slackening his forward stride, while the Ice Crystal Demon Snake always has a goal to catch up to and surpass, its growth speed significantly exceeding that of its kin.
"Unfortunately, you did not seize this opportunity..."
Ronan approached the Ice Crystal Demon Snake, stretching out his hand towards its damaged wound. Thin, sharp metal wires shot out from his fingertips, deeply piercing into the flesh and blood of the Ice Crystal Demon Snake.
"The next time I give you a chance to challenge, it won’t be as easy...
Every challenge you make, be prepared to pay the price of failure."
Once again having its Essence Blood extracted, the Ice Crystal Demon Snake whimpered in pain yet did not resist.
It stared deeply at Ronan, its eyes filled with deeper resentment and obsession.
Ronan calmly addressed it without avoiding its gaze, "If you willingly accept me as your master, I promise to purify your bloodline, giving you a chance to further revert to your ancestral form..."
Accompanying Ronan’s words, the Ice Crystal Demon Snake’s gaze suddenly became stunned, then began to show signs of hesitant and struggling turmoil.
Ronan, no longer caring about it, took the blood and immediately turned to leave.
The Ice Crystal Demon Snake knew about the existence of the Holy Blood Tree. Ronan intentionally used this as a bargaining chip to lure it, mentally breaking it down, combined with repeated physical suppression... It wouldn’t be long until the day the Ice Crystal Demon Snake completely submits.
After dealing with the Ice Crystal Demon Snake, Ronan was planning to go check on Benny.
Suddenly, a fluctuation from the Communication Stone emitted from the Space Ring.
Ronan took it out and saw a message from Kosti.
His eyes flashed as he read the information from the Communication Stone, and he immediately turned directions and hurried to the Magic Ring.
Kosti summoned him, and the exploration at the First Battlefield of Mirror Court was also over.
...
"I’ve learned of your achievements from the Third Ring Master, Caroni, Damien, you exceeded my expectations..."
With her long, wavy hair cascading down like waves to the carpet, Kosti, who had the aura of a moonlit starry sky, sat amidst a huge three-sided bookshelf, gazing at Ronan with a complex and yet admiring manner.
Ronan read not only appreciation in Kosti’s eyes but also some surprises and expectations that he could not understand.
"It seems that your bloodline has been further stimulated, even able to suppress the bloodline of the Sajiers family of Melt Crystal Lake..."
Kosti paused here and then seriously advised Ronan, "From now on, never easily allow your bloodline to be studied by others, no matter how high a price they offer..."
Ronan nodded, and after listening to a lot of advice from Kosti, the topic finally shifted to what he was interested in.
"The exploration of the first core area... went smoother than expected, with two Dawn Rank Magic Tools obtained..."
Two Dawn Rank Magic Tools?!
Ronan was surprised.
A Silver cane appeared in the Second Battlefield, but unexpectedly, two were obtained in the First Battlefield all at once, indeed the most core area.
Kosti, seeing Ronan’s astonishment, bitterly smiled, "In fact, what was excavated was far more than two, but we only got two, the rest escaped.
Magic Tools that have developed their own consciousness of spirituality are hard to tame, not to mention the best at escaping types, the Space and Mirror Magic Tools.
Honestly, being able to obtain two is already a pleasant surprise..."
Ronan couldn’t help but ask, "Was the Dawn Rank Magic Tool unearthed from the Second Battlefield eventually caught?"
"No, there isn’t."
Kosti shook her head, and Ronan felt a slight relief inside.
At this moment, he then heard Kosti saying, "Besides that, we also found a complete inheritance of Space Mirror Magic, and... a broken World Stone!"
Upon hearing the "complete inheritance of Space Mirror Magic," Ronan’s heart fiercely skipped a beat.
The Ancient Mirror Court took away almost all the inheritance knowledge when it left, and before this, there had never been a complete inheritance of magic leaked from within the Mirror Court. If his understanding was correct, this should be the first case so far.
It was also the only window for all the wizards in the Southern region to glimpse the mysteries of ancient space and mirror magic.
Before Ronan could even feel excited, his expression turned somewhat inexplicably odd and bizarre.
Because right after Kosti mentioned the "World Stone," Ronan distinctly felt a mark on the back of his right hand twitch slightly.
Ronan hesitated a bit, then he told Kosti fully about how he accidentally got the marked brand in a wizard’s experimental lab waste tank at the Second Battlefield.
Kosti asked him to extend his hand and carefully examined the mark on the back of Ronan’s hand, eventually concluding — "Damien, this on your hand, is a coordinate of a World Stone."
Ronan was instantly stunned upon hearing this answer.
Then Kosti started to explain the knowledge about the "World Stone."
"..This world is not as simple as you see it.
Besides the world we live in now, there are many other independent Otherworlds.
And the World Stone is a bridge connecting two worlds, the key to opening another world’s space..."
Kosti raised her hand to create two differently colored light balls resembling bubbles, and slightly touched between the two light balls with her finger, generating a line of light connecting the two light balls.
"But the way the World Stone opens the passage to Otherworld space is random, as any world beyond our own is completely foreign and unknown to wizards.
No one knows what kind of world will be waiting behind the door once the key is turned and the passage opens.
This process is filled with risks, you might find a world of limitless resources, or face endless disasters..."
"As an inheritor of Space Magic, it’s not strange that the Mirror Court started studying the World Stone early and conducted experiments exploring Otherworld spaces.
From the words ’Forbidden’ and ’Failure’ you saw in the lab, and this broken and eventually abandoned World Stone, I speculate that after the Ancient Mirror Court opened the door to an Otherworld space, the experience was probably not good...
This might also be exactly why the Mirror Court hurriedly moved out...."
Kosti’s expression turned serious, her eyes swiftly flickering as she said, "The kind of disaster that could force even a powerful entity like the Ancient Mirror Court to flee and abandon their home is likely beyond anyone’s imagination.
The information you provided is too important, Damien, and it’s unlucky that those people are still thinking about how to quickly repair the World Stone...
I need to notify others about this immediately..."
Kosti spoke to herself urgently for a while, and finally, her gaze settled on Ronan’s hand, saying, "What you’ve obtained is probably the spatial coordinates of that unknown catastrophic world, but you don’t have to worry, without the World Stone, the coordinates are just coordinates and won’t have any effect on you...
Don’t concern yourself with it, perhaps over time, it will slowly fade away on its own..."
"Right, about this coordinate, don’t tell anyone.
Some people in this world’s madness and ambition are beyond your imagination.."
Seeing Kosti’s serious demeanor, Ronan solemnly nodded.
He looked down at the back of his right hand, where the arrow-like strange mark was barely visible under the skin.
It was hard to imagine that this was actually half of the key to opening an unknown world.
Such matters seemed somewhat far-fetched for him at the moment.
He lowered his hand and hid the back of his hand beneath his wide Magic Robe.
At this time, Kosti began to tell him about another matter.
