All Novel Full 191 Chapter 191
As a person that was highly revered and feared not just in the earth realm but in the other realms as well, when did the Serpentine Empress encounter something like this?
She was too used to people being respectful and fearful of her. She never received such insults in the past and she would also not just let that slide!
Her expression behind the dark fog covering her face darkened and she didn’t even bother speaking to the audacious bastard
It was better to be a doer than simply a speaker
The Serpentine Empress raised her hand and from it, black streaks flew out. These black streaks were in the form of snakes
Their eyes were bloodshot as if their eyes reflects the fury that their creator holds in her heart
Their expressions were extremely ferocious with their jaws wide open as if they want to swallow Rezen whole
They look like ordinary wild and aggressive snakes but their movement speed was far from being ordinary
Only people at the same level as the Serpentine Empress could possibly rival this level of speed
Fortunately, while Rezen is still definitely far from the level of the Serpentine Empress, he doesn’t only have himself to rely on
Space behind Rezen twisted and it unceremoniously sucks him in causing him to vanish from the Serpentine Empress’s sight
Seeing that, the Serpentine Empress tried to rip space to give chase but she was unable to catch any clue of Rezen’s whereabouts
It was as if what she just experienced was merely an illusion. It was to the point that she started thinking whether what happened was real or was something that the realm did to fool her
However, whether that encounter was real or not, there is something more important than that!
The Serpentine Empress’s eyes landed on the tens of bubbles colliding and crashing against each other
Those bubbles held spaces bigger than what they looked outside. They are the Blessed Land from the fallen 7th rank mages and each of these Blessed Lands could definitely hold thousands of people inside, a testimony of how big they are though they only look like small bubbles on the outside
The realm was working at the fullest to purify the said Blessed Lands. Only when it was purified and became ownerless could Claude and even the Serpentine Empress possibly use the origin energy used to create it
The only thing that the Serpentine Empress could do now was to wait, wait, and wait
She technically only has one enemy but that enemy is someone that could strike fear to the current her
She would rather fight ten 7th rank mages than fight a realm’s chosen as these individuals are capable of creating miracles
Their luck and fate are far from ordinary and as long as a person cannot completely escape the realm’s influence, the realm’s chosen would forever be a threat to them
“Hurry up…” she muttered anxiously as she stared at the colliding bubbles of spaces
She can’t wait for the realm to finish the purification process and steal the precious origin energy before Claude could arrive here
Although theoretically, there is a high chance that Claude could die or at least be held back for a long time by the combination of eight 7th rank mages, a realm’s chosen are existences that should not be judged based on common sense
The Serpentine Empress is not foolish enough to commit the same mistakes that other people did
——
At the edge of the world, eight people could be seen ganging up against a single person
This person could be seen flying around to dodge and dodge. His flying speed was unparalleled as if the entire realm itself was making sure that his movements would be smooth and fast
However, that was the only thing that he could do. He could only dodge the attacks thrown at him but he was unable to retaliate
With eight enemies joining hands to fight him, even Claude was not having an easy time
This was especially because of the three mages from the Serpentine Empress’s side. Their coordination was simply divine
They are the ones that give Claude the hardest time
The five 7th rank mages from three countries all move with the desire to kill Claude while the ones from the Serpentine Empress’s side prioritized not giving Claude the room for a breather
One side move to go for the sure kill while the other move to prevent Claude from escaping
After all, killing a realm’s chosen is a feat that is hard to accomplish. Since the Serpentine Empress’s plans would succeed as long as Claude was unable to intervene with her actions, why must her people risk using killer moves and give Claude a chance to escape, right?
The mage with a green crystal on his forehead waved his hand and green specks of light covered the bodies of his allies
They instantly felt their vigor increasing, the might of their power increasing and this buff gave them more confidence
The mage with the yellowish-brown crystal on the forehead on the other hand constantly conjured whips of sand not with the intent to harm Claude but only to hold him back
The whips of sand would sometimes wrap themselves on Claude’s hands, legs, or torso but they were also instantly destroyed by him
Even then, the whips cause a delay in Claude’s movement especially since the mage with purple crystal on the forehead keeps on putting curses on him
The curses were all the type that would hinder a person’s movement whether it be freezing or paralysis
These three were using a hundred percent of their power, giving the other five mages a chance to injure Claude
The projection of their Blessed Lands continuously sends streams of power to them. Only with the power that the Blessed Lands provided could they possess power enough to push Claude this far
“Damn it…” Claude cursed. He knew that the longer the time he spends here, the more dangerous the situation would be
Winning against these eight was the least of his worry. What he was worried about is letting the Serpentine Empress steal the realm’s origin energy and escape
If the Serpentine Empress succeeded then that would be a massive blow to the realm. If Claude’s mission now has a difficulty of one then the Serpentine Empress’s victory would increase the difficulty to a thousand
Claude cannot let her succeed but just because you want something doesn’t mean that you could get it
Just as Claude was about to make a huge sacrifice, the space near him suddenly twisted
He was about to attack immediately when he sensed a familiar aura that was calling him
His eyes constricted. A myriad of emotions filled his eyes but in the end, he still gritted his teeth and flew inside that spatial portal
“Stop him!” One of the eight shouted in urgency
Since the fight with Claude involves more than one person, it was very chaotic
Only now did they realize that the spatial portal that appeared was actually not something created by any of them
They knew that if Claude managed to escape now, it would almost be impossible to see him again unless he showed himself personally
However, with the performance that Claude shows, if he ever appears from the sight of any 7th rank mages, the mage has a 99% of dying
As such, they don’t have a choice but to make sure that Claude Preston dies here today
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as they want. Claude successfully entered the spatial portal and the others can only stare blankly as they lost their target
——-
When Claude arrived at the other side of the portal, he saw that he was inside what looked like a Blessed Land
However, this Blessed Land is only a flat piece of land without anything on it aside from a person
“Rezen…” Claude squinted his eyes as he stared at Rezen
The aura he sensed earlier was from Rezen and since Rezen was someone he knows, he took the risk and entered the spatial portal
In any case, it was better to risk it than fight the eight 7th rank mages. The only trap that could threaten Claude was the gathering of a large number of 7th rank mages
But if that was Rezen’s plan then he’s a fool since he could have just sent the mages to where Claude was already fighting a large number of mages
“Why…”
Before Claude could even finish his question, Rezen already emotionlessly waved his hand to send him out
Rezen cannot let Claude stay inside his farm for a long time. It was easy to mistake the farm for a Blessed Land. And even if Claude could sense that the farm is not a Blessed Land wouldn’t he still think that this was suspicious?
Besides, Rezen didn’t help Claude for a selfless reason. He has his own agenda and goal and he was not simply being kind or anything
