Chapter 653: Chapter 545 Is This the Power of the Strongest Wizard?
“Chairman Lynn, how come you are here!”
The sudden appearance of Lynn startled Tic and the others, followed swiftly by delight and surprise.
Wasn’t it said that there was no way to communicate between the two worlds?
Previous chairmen had already tried, but they had been unable to send avatars through the Space-Time Gate to gather intelligence, otherwise, they wouldn’t have had to come themselves.
The halfling Maka looked at the suddenly appearing wizard with uncertain alarm, adopting a defensive posture.
“Is it the effect of this ring of secret magic?” Rafael was the first to recover, immediately thinking of this possibility.
Before they had set off for the foreign land, Chairman Vittorio had given him an alchemical creation capable of harnessing the Sky Vaulting, whereas Lynn had given him this ring, and during the second personnel exchange, someone had specifically brought it back again.
“Correct!” Lynn nodded.
Since the lord of necromancers possessed the ability to control multiple worlds, there must certainly be a way to communicate through both ends of the Space-Time Gate. This ring was his experiment, crafted from a very special magical material, for which he had even melted down a Corona Medal.
Its feature was that it could well contain a consciousness and bear legendary power.
Thus, he had experimented by separating a part of his consciousness and placing it in this ring of secret magic, similar to the Life Box made by the spiritual energy wizard Radak. However, the soul split was limited, and even if it was destroyed, it wouldn’t cause too much harm.
He hadn’t told Rafael and others because he himself was not sure if it would work.
In fact, the moment he entered the Space-Time Gate, this magical avatar could no longer sense the position of his main body nor connect to the magic web, yet a real connection between them still existed.
This feeling was quite strange, also causing a lot of trouble, meaning that his avatar could not directly send information back, trapping him in this foreign realm just like Rafael and the others.
“Give me the uranium stone, my power here is limited, but clearing a path forward for you is still no problem; I think the council must have already sent people into the Space-Time Gate to rescue you!” Lynn said with a smile.
This was something the few of them did not know, but he was very clear about it, because during the second personnel exchange, the ring of secret magic had been taken out.
Clearly, his main body was not prepared to give up on this exploration team that had achieved significant feats and fought for their precious time with their lives, otherwise, there was no need to send this ring back.
The time should be today—the half-month deadline Rafael had set!
Under Lynn’s explanation, Yoland, Tic, and the others were extremely thrilled, genuinely feeling a glimmer of hope for life.
Even though they had prepared for death, for most people, surviving was naturally far better.
Watching Yoland’s ecstatic expression, the halfling Maka frowned slightly, hesitating to speak, feeling distrusting of this suddenly appearing young man.
You must understand, outside the necromancers nearly filled the entire valley and sky, possibly numbering over a million; could they really break out?
However, the name Lynn did seem familiar to him… After hesitating a moment, Maka quickly realized, this seemed to be the chairman Darren and others often mentioned, the most powerful wizard!
Compared to the uncertain Maka, Rafael had full confidence in Lynn, even though he was aware that the person standing before him was merely an avatar.
“It looks like we’ll have to rely on you again, Chairman Lynn!” Rafael handed over the uranium stone, his face also brightening with a smile.
During the time they were inside the Space-Time Gate, his expression had been stretched to the limit.
As the leader, any decision he made could lead to a disaster for the entire exploration team in the foreign realm, prematurely expose the location of the Space-Time Gate, directly affecting the outcome of the war, and ultimately join Yoland and others in a mutual demise against the attracted army of undead, the mental pressure he bore was imaginable, each day was an agony for him.
Fortunately, now at last he felt relieved, although they were still in crisis, but seeing Lynn allowed Rafael to temporarily let go of his taut spirit, pausing briefly before he spoke again.
“What should we do next?”
“It’s simple, we just need to…” Lynn began to explain, but suddenly closed his mouth, his expression abruptly changed, and he looked up at the rock face above.
A burst of intense rumbling came in an instant, followed by the whole mountain violently shaking, and large chunks of rock continuously fell from above.
Yoland steadied himself against a wall nearby, struggling to maintain balance, his face displaying intense fear, because the rock face above had been torn open!
A huge dragon claw emerged from the crack, tearing through the solid mountain, and what appeared before everyone was a vast and fierce-looking dragon head, its head alone larger than a few combined, its eyes burning with the Soul Fire emanating a cold and bloodthirsty light.
A terrifying and powerful wave of death spread from within it, covering the entire mountain range like a typhoon—this was the legendary Realm of the Dead, capable of continually stripping the vitality of the living, and every soul that died in this region would be transformed into a vengeful spirit, bound within the realm.
