Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fifteen years ago.
In the middle of the Eye of the Enigmatic Hurricane, was the deepest part of the Shadow Land.
Influenced by the law of the Amonro World, the endless Enigmatic Energy had formed a hurricane several thousand meters in diameter. The density of the hurricane was unimaginable and the gale was horrendous, as if anything that entered it would be torn apart. However, the eye of the hurricane was unexpectedly calm, a place that could be defined as utopia.
The Flesh Carpet would bloom everywhere on the piece of land, similar to an octopus that was made up of five different colors of a blooming flower. The land would be calm and peaceful while dragonflies glid across the clear skies, while some of the ancient creatures could also be seen once in a while.
The Enigmatic Amonros would take on their stroll around the place in twos or threes, spending their time casually without restrictions.
Seemingly, every threat that had happened in the Shadow World did not affect this peaceful place.
Hence, this place had been the holy land of the Amonro World, where the Ancestral Amonros had occupied as their place to settle down. Since then, it was known as the Storm City!
The city was occupied by more than half of the aristocratic high-level Elite Enigmatic Amonros from around the Amonro World!
Some of the elites even had received aid from the Ancestral Amonros while also supported by the energy of the surrounding world within the eye of the hurricane. They survived the last war with the Lava Giants and those who remained till today were regarded as the mythical Amonro heroes.
Certainly, the capabilities of the heroic Amonros were only limited within the shelter of the hurricane. They would have perished within a short period of time if they were to leave the place.
The holy land of the Shadow World had been filled with myths that were dated back during the age of Lava Giants, as well as the beginning of the age of Amonros. Hence, Storm City was the sacred place within the hearts of every low-level Amonros.
There was an outstanding Amonro that sat on the highest throne of the city, known as the Supreme Amonro.
It was about three meters tall with an overweight and rounded body size. Pale skin tone covered its entire body, which symbolized its high ranking among the Enigmatic Amonros. It also has three tailbones that were formed by different colors. Hence, all other “weak” Amonros from the Shadow World would find its appearance intimidating.
The middle tail bone was with pure white, and covered with white opaque flames. The flame seemed to combine all Enigmatic Energy in the world at its purest form, while it maintained the shadow undercover through its colorless appearance.
The remaining two tail bones were in golden and neon green, covered with their respective intimidating flames.
There was a hemispheric neon green hill below the throne, with height of a hundred meters tall, supported by countless of legs below it. It was the Ultimate Neon Green Hill Beetle.
Waves of gray Enigmatic Energy were seen flowing through the skies, above the land, and in between the fleshes, toward the Ancestral Amonro. It then devoured all of the Enigmatic Energy that had flown through like a deep pool.
The pupils of the Ancestral Amonro were not of a distinct color. It stood up from its throne?—similar to how humans stand up. Immediately, thousands of Enigmatic Amonros fell prostrate before the monarch, including a female Demon Hunter that had a hopeless look in her eyes.
The Demon Hunter was not wearing anything, while her extremely thin body was tied up by Enigmatic Energy. There was not much sign of life from her wrinkled skin.
She was purely an Elemental Sorcerer.
“Is this creature a sorcerer?” The Ancestral Amonro examined the Demon Hunter closely?—similar to when an insect specimen was being examined by a sorcerer from an experiment container?—its eyes shining with wisdom.
An Amonro who fell prostrate beside the Demon Hunter raised its head and replied in a deep voice, “Yes, my honorable Ancestral Amonro, it was the King of Prophets who had fulfilled your request to have this sorcerer sent from the foreign land far away. They are a bunch of evil, barbaric, and cruel lifeforms.”
The Ancestral Amonro remained silent.
It was because the Elemental Sorcerer was seen to be merely a “weak” lifeform by the Amonros and most creatures of the endless world—even incomparable to the Golden Amonros who ranked the lowest.
The exhausted body was about to die—wasn’t it surprising to have such feeble lifeform group in the endless world?
The sorcery energy reserve within the Demon Hunter was extremely low—low enough to be ignored by the Ancestral Amonro.
“Well, is this sorcerer the weakest soldier among the barbaric sorcerers that invaded?” The Amonro King asked again.
The Enigmatic Amonro that fell prostrate replied quickly, “No, no, the King of Prophets had described that this sorcerer is on par with the ability of a low-level Enigmatic King, and among the sorcerers, this sorcerer is of higher rank.”
The Elite Enigmatic Amonros around were astounded and surprised by what they have heard.
The Ancestral Amonro did not give his reply but he immediately opened his mouth, and sucked in all of the Enigmatic Energy from the Demon Hunter’s body, while during Soul Interaction. “Show yourself, Warrior of Valris Roz! Sorceress from the foreign land, I would spare your life if you are able to hurt my warrior.”
The body of the Demon Hunter was freed from her shackles. She stoop down while gasping for air. However, the mental strength within her was abundantly overflown.
The sorceress looked toward a Level 3 Amonro who was flying over to her from afar.
Despair was seen on her wrinkled face while she let out a sigh that could hardly be heard.
After the war had ended, all magical tools were seized and destroyed, and the part that despaired the sorceress the most was that she could not sense any origin energy from the sorcerer world around her.
In other words, the sorceress would not be able to activate her Sorcerer Barrier; which was one of the most secure forms of protection for a Demon Hunter.
Under such circumstances, the Level 2 sorcerer would not be able to defeat the Level 3 Enigmatic Amonro that seemed to be overpowered in terms of its ability.
It was all expected; the battle only lasted about 7.5 minutes [1].
The sorceress let out a cry of anguish while she bowed her head and looked at her stomach that was pierced through by a white tail bone.
Immediately, Enigmatic Energy from the Amonro started stirring within the body of the sorceress while the tail bone seemed to be devouring everything within the body like a hungry demon. Finally, the sorceress cried out in pain for the last time and her body collapsed and shriveled up.
After a few breaths taken by the sorceress, her body was left with only the outer skin layer.
Clack!
The wrinkled skin fell on the ground and the Enigmatic Amonros around reacted with cheers to honor the heroic act of the Amonro that had killed the sorceress.
However, the Ancestral Amonro was the only one who was shocked by what had happened while it stood frozen. Its analytical thoughts had already passed through the phenomenon that occurred from only the surface and extended onto the laws.
A few moments later, the cheers from the surrounding Amonros lowered down, while the Ancestral Amonro replied, “Messenger, inform the King of Prophets that the Infinite Enigmatic Seal will be completed in fifteen years, and let the king to call the Amonros World for war preparation.”
The Enigmatic Messenger was shocked and widened its eyes while it replied enthusiastically, “Yes, my lord.”
Immediately, the news shocked every Enigmatic Amonro that was in the surroundings and they went into an uproar.
“My lord, are you sure about releasing the Infinite Enigmatic Seal? The sorcerers were only low-level lifeforms that occupied part of the remote area of the Shadow Land! I would be at your service to...”
“My lord, releasing the seal might cause irreversible changes toward the Amonros World, in the future, the Perishing Volcano might...”
“My lord...”
The Amonros were alarmed by the order to release the seal, as if it had triggered the most sensitive part of their nerves.
The Ancestral Amonro shook its head and let out a sigh of disappointment.
These Amonros were those who had fought the deadly war against the Lava Giants during the ancient times to free the Amonro tribe that was enslaved. However, in the end, they were merely low-level lifeforms that had never left the Amonros World before.
There were more immortals or civilizations that were much greater that existed around the endless world, which was colorful and dynamic in its own way.
The Amonros World?
It could only be an infant that stumbles easily, if it were to be compared with others from around the endless world...
Bang! Bang!
The hill beetle below the throne of the Ancestral Amonro extended its body, and suddenly, a calm and magnificent Lightning Mirror appeared. The steadiness of the mirror looked the same as what Grimm had found under the lake of his lab!
The Ancestral Amonro merged itself with the beetle in a flash, without realizing what it had performed.
It was fifteen years ago, Grimm was probably still on his mission to attack from the rear in the Crimson Sun World. It was at the outer part of the ninth district of the Shadow Empire.
...
On the other hand...
The Enigmatic Messenger had left Storm City on a Voidship speeding in the skies. Suddenly, sorcerer’s wisdom shone from the eyes of the messenger.
It mumbled to itself in sorcery language, “Would this place be the center of the Shadow World? What energy would the Infinite Enigmatic Seal have? How could the Ancestral Amonro and the Enigmatic Prophet put on such high hopes toward it? Hmm, perhaps I should inform the Battle Command Fortress to be prepared, just in case after fifteen years...”
