Advent of the Archmage Chapter 699

What did Sastor use to lock the realm? He used the strength of his believers accumulated through the years .

This move used up much of his stored Belief Power . If not for the Ruler of Light and Darkness' orders, he definitely wouldn't do something so crazy .

He was badly injured from the final battle with the Snow Mountain Archmage Iyr and was forced to go rest in the Yan Empire . However, an Archmage's body was abnormally strong . Once hurt, it required a great amount of energy to heal .

Where did this energy come from? From the millions of believers in the Yan Empire . The Belief Power from regular believers was weak and impure . The purification process took a lot of time . Thus, to quickly replenish his power, he had to rely on the hardcore believers .

This time, Sastor was truly hurt . He lived in the Fire God Palace, which was built in the mortal temple of the Isomeric Realm . Sastor went to the center and lay directly onto the ground . A fiery crystal hovered quietly around ten feet above him .

Threads formed by countless runes stretched from the crystal . Like smoke or fog, they extended out and disappeared in the air . These threads weren't still . They would vibrate occasionally, and tiny balls would rush out of the air, entering the fiery crystal .

It looked like countless water pipes reaching out from the air, connecting to a pool in the end—the fiery crystal . "Clear water" flowed in without stop, but the crystal never became full . Its light just grew brighter .

Drip, drop . Suddenly, a drop of fiery liquid dripped from the crystal . Inferno Archmage Sastor opened his mouth to catch it . He instantly felt warmth go from his throat to his organs, warming his icy body .

This fiery crystal was his Divine Fragment . It absorbed the Belief Power and converted it into pure Infernal Power for Sastor, strengthening him . Of course, it was also the thing helping him recover quickly now .

If no accidents happened, he would receive 5,000,000 drops of pure Infernal Power around a month later . This should help him recover to his top state .

One month is still too long . Sastor was a bit anxious . If he was in his best state, he could definitely use a Divination spell to find the source of the anxiety . He couldn't do it now . He just wished time could pass a bit faster .

God? God? Are you there? A thought suddenly rang out in Sastor's mind . It was a prayer from a believer in the mortal world . His voice was hurried, and it trembled . It contained great fear .

Sastor froze . The bad feeling in him grew stronger . His power was limited now, but he still replied .

In an Infernal Church in the mortal world, the eyes of Sastor's statue lit up with faint red light . This meant that God's consciousness had arrived . He was ready to listen to his believers .

A horrible demon is blaspheming you . He is very powerful and cruel . He keeps killing your children and absorbing their souls after destroying their bodies . Ah, no, he's coming! Ahh…

Instantly, the prayer turned into cries of terror .

A portion of Sastor's mind was still on that mortal statue . In that moment, he saw a black-haired man with a black crystal crown rush into the temple . It was indeed the Lord of Ferde . He grabbed the praying believer .

Sastor recognized the believer as the archbishop of this church . The poor mortal was raised in the air, and he struggled like a rabbit caught by a lion . He cast various divine spells on the Ferde lord, but these were just like scratches to a lion . Other than nice lighting effects, they were useless .

Amidst the useless struggling, the Ferde lord suddenly applied pressure . Wriggling fiery-red light was pulled out of the archbishop's body . It entered the Ferde lord while the body in his hands turned into a lump of dead meat .

Plop . The Ferde lord tossed the archbishop's corpse onto the ground . He looked up at the statue and suddenly brought his sword down . In the last moment, Sastor felt sharp murderous intent rush towards him, shaking his heart . Then the statue was destroyed, and he lost connection with the church in the mortal world .

Sastor was still an Archmage . Though physically weak, his mind was still strong . He wouldn't get scared by an upper Level-17 Legendary Magician . After the shock, anger rushed out from his heart . It was like a volcano spewing furious lava .

Sastor was still an Archmage . Though physically weak, his mind was still strong . He wouldn't get scared by an upper Level-17 Legendary Magician . After the shock, anger rushed out from his heart . It was like a volcano spewing furious lava .

"Ant! Maggot! You're taking advantage of my crisis! I shall crush your soul!" Sastor gritted out . But the anger only lasted an instant . Afterward, his physical weakness reminded him cruelly that he could only face ordinary fighters now . Level-14 was his max . The Ferde lord was in upper Level-17 with a Level-19 pinnacle magic tool . Sastor wasn't his match at all .

In other words, he couldn't do anything now .

He's killing my believers . This is destroying my source of power . I must stop him, or else everything will be over!

He'd managed the Fire Sect for 100 years . He'd established the Yan Empire and received thousands upon thousands of converters . This was the foundation for lighting the divine fire and becoming a god . It was also his source of power . If this foundation was destroyed, his speed of recovery would slow drastically . He might even die .

Who knew that the damn Ferde lord would reach Level-19 after absorbing so many souls? If he really did, the Yan Empire would be over .

But the Lava Knights have all died, as well as Milda . Saroviny escaped with serious injuries, and I don't know where she is . How do I stop him? Do I ask the Ruler of Light and Darkness for help?

Thinking of this, Sastor realized it was his only option .

The Ferde lord's speed of killing was shocking . The rate that Infernal Power dripped from the fiery crystal already slowed by three seconds . This meant that his recovery would take much longer… No, he wouldn't have the chance to recover if the Ferde lord kept killing .

There was no time . He must ask for help!

Ruler of Light and Darkness, majestic true god of the Void, I beg you to save me . If you help me through this crisis, our contract from before will be voided . Your thought will be my order . I will serve you for eternity, fighting for you until the end of time!

There was no reply from the Void, but Sastor didn't give up . He kept repeating it . After the fifth time, he suddenly felt the space in the palace shake . Then he felt a horribly powerful consciousness descend into his palace .

A voice soon rang out in his mind . Your loyalty isn't enough . If you want me to save you, you must catch the Ferde lord . I want him alive . You can destroy his physical body, but his soul must not be harmed at all .

"Why?" Even crushing Link into dust could only slightly alleviate his anger .

Because he is thousands of times more valuable than you! To me, you are dirt . I won't do something as idiotic as losing a pearl to receive dirt . The Ruler of Light and Darkness was very straightforward . He straightforwardly ignored Sastor's dignity . With his strength, he didn't have to care about Sastor's feelings anyway .

Sastor felt like he would explode from anger . After the fury, he felt jealousy and finally, helplessness . He couldn't refute it .

The threads from the fiery crystal reduced . The Infernal Power flowing from it slowed down too . Forced by the situation, Sastor had no choice but to submit . "Your wishes are my commands . As long as you can save me, I won't disappoint you . "

I like dealing with Magicians . They're all so wise . The Ruler of Light and Darkness laughed . An instant later, a silver-white beam of light appeared . It shone on Sastor's body and then entered it .

This phenomenon lasted for around ten minutes . Then the beam disappeared . Sastor climbed up from the ground and bowed . "My master, I will bring him to you . "

Go now, but don't be careless . He's growing much faster than you can imagine . With that, the Ruler of Light and Darkness' consciousness exited the palace .

Sastor scoffed . So what if he was fast? Only around ten minutes had passed, and Sastor's power was back to his optimal state . How powerful could Link be?

With this in mind, he glanced into the mortal world . His pupils constricted instantly . Earlier, Link had only been at upper Level-17 . Now, he'd already destroyed more than 20 large temples, killing all the believers in them and taking their souls . This wasn't all . He'd killed every living thing along the way and absorbed their souls . Everywhere he passed had turned into zones of death .

In around ten minutes, more than 20 temples had been destroyed, and five large cities had been wiped out . At least one million souls had been ignited and absorbed .

Crazy! Crazy! This guy has gone mad . He's turned into a complete demon!

There were strong figures among those one million souls . This meant that the Ferde lord was now at the pinnacle of Level-18 and would soon reach Level-19 . Once he did so, he could fight with Sastor . Then it would be hard to say who would win .

Seeing that the Ferde lord was still massacring, Sastor didn't dare dally . He rushed over immediately .

. . .

Mortal world

Link reached another city . This was a mid-sized city with 100,000 people . There was also a mid-sized temple . If he could absorb all the souls here… No, he only needed half to reach Level-19 .

It was cruel, but he had no other choice . He would either become the Ruler of Light and Darkness' puppet and destroy countless realms, or he would choose his own road of darkness .

Rest in peace, mortals . Link jumped towards the temple in the city center . Along the way, thousands of souls flew into his body, turning into power .

Just as he was about to reach the temple, it suddenly lit up . Horrible power forced Link away, and a resounding voice rang out . "Demon, halt!"

Inferno Archmage Sastor had arrived . What did Sastor use to lock the realm? He used the strength of his believers accumulated through the years . This move used up much of his stored Belief Power .
