Chapter 512: Immolation （1）
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Angele walked down the tunnel slowly with Becky following him .
They did not cast any spell to brighten up the area . They just advanced in the darkness since Angele had no problem seeing things ahead .
He noticed the road ahead was no longer wet .
"It seems like we chose the right tunnel," Becky said .
"If nothing happens, this tunnel may not lead us to the destination . "
Angele turned at the corner and found a collapsed tunnel ahead, the path was completely blocked by broken stone pieces .
He walked to the stones and pressed on a stone with his eyes closed .
Several minutes later .
"Let's teleport through the tunnel . The two tunnels will merge into one ahead . I'll go through it first and you can teleport to my location using the bloodline ability . "
*BAM*
Angele disappeared into a ball of dark flames .
On the other side of the collapsed tunnel .
In the darkness, red light flashed in the tunnel and Angele recreated his body . Some white light flashed beside him and turned into Becky .
They could hear the noise made by the rats; a rotten smell permeated the air .
With a flick of Angele's finger, a pink aura appeared around his feet . He remained silent as he started advancing .
His footsteps were quite loud in the tunnel, echoing .
Becky hated the dirt on the ground and decided to stay away from it .
There were balls of black sticky liquid on the ground, they were wet and stinky .
"How long do we have to walk?" Becky was getting impatient .
"Calm down . We're getting close . I know where Mincola is and our direction is correct . Don't worry . " Angele increased his ability slightly .
Time passed .
Several hours later, Becky wanted to say something else again, but Angele stopped her .
"Something isn't right . The two tunnels will merge ahead and it must be Suman's team . They're in trouble . We should check on them . "
************************
On the other side of the tunnel .
The walls of the tunnel were glowing . Suman held a scimitar and was staring at a man that was walking to him . Sella, Mincola, Messiah, and Dorman were lying on the ground .
Bella was leaning against the wall, one of her swords broken . She supported her body using the other sword . She was not sure if she could stay conscious if she fell to the ground as well .
"Damn… This guy was waiting here the whole time . " Suman inhaled deeply, he could feel that his lungs were burning and there was blood in his throat . Suman used most of his power and his lung was slightly damaged for that .
"Guys, are you still alive?" he questioned in a low voice .
Messiah who lay on the ground responded in a low voice, "We're alright . Don't worry . "
"If we can't figure out a solution, we'll lose the ability to fight back . Mincola, do you have anything that can help us?" Sella asked; she sounded weak .
"I would've used it if I had one . " There was a bitter smile on his face . "The man has an aura that reduces our stamina gradually and the effective range is incredible . Also, the man is definitely stronger than us since we didn't even last a minute in his aura . There'd be nothing I can do even if I had a secret technique . "
"I didn't expect the Dark Wizard Tower to guard a random spot with a strong wizard . " Suman was speechless . "Damn, not again!"
He suddenly jumped to the left and some twisted energy waves exploded where he'd stood .
The man walked toward Suman . He was a strong man with a muscular body . The man had no hair, no beard, and no eyebrows . His face was smooth and clean . The man's paper eyes were coated with a silver glow and it felt like there was liquid flowing in his eyes .
"Sorry, young ones . Your journey will end here . " He walked to Suman slowly with a strange smile on the face . His upper body was naked, but it was covered in wounds left by Suman's scimitar .
Suman lowered his body and inhaled deeply . "I haven't used all my power yet . "
"Qansi!" he shouted .
*CHI*
Color disappeared from the tunnel, the world turned black and white .
Everything stopped moving .
Messiah and Bella's bodies were surrounded by purple light and dark blue light, it seemed like they could still move .
Sella and the other team members all stopped moving .
The muscular man was also stopped by the concept gear, but it seemed like he did not care .
'Same crap . ' Suman tried to guess what the man was thinking .
He inhaled deeply and slowly slashed forward using the scimitar .
*CHI*
Suman's body turned into a silver line, charging at the man .
He was aiming at the enemy's throat; the scimitar was moving so fast that it felt like there was wind blowing .
However, the scimitar was stopped when it was several centimeters away from the man's throat .
Green blood veins appeared on Suman's face and his muscles' size increased like crazy . There were tiny red dots on the surface of his skin, it seemed like the capillaries in his body were breaking .
A golden rune appeared on the blade of the scimitar . The rune started glowing and intense golden light covered the man's body .
*WOO*
Color returned to the world slowly after the noise .
Suman's scimitar hit the man's throat and blood was running down the man's neck .
"It's over . " Suman moved his scimitar away and took several steps back .
The man could not believe what just happened and tried to stop the bleeding, but he failed . A green glow surrounded his hands; it seemed like he was trying to heal the wound . Nothing worked, he fell to the ground and stopped moving .
Mincola stood up and asked, "How much power did you release?"
Suman lowered his scimitar and responded, "Around 82% . "
"That was a short distance and you released 82% of the concept gear's power…" Mincola's expression changed . "Should we keep moving?"
"I'll take care of the rest . You guys should head back . The enemies we encounter will be stronger as we advance further . Although we can stop them from sending the information out, we'll be detected sooner or later," Suman spoke in a low voice .
"What are you talking about? We're here for the same goal!" Messiah shouted . "Bella and I also put our hands on concept gears so that we can move even when the time is paused . We'll go with you . Sella, Dorman, and Mincola, you should head back . "
Suman shook his head . "I can activate the sun rune five more times and I can make it to the end . Alright, let's stop wasting time . Also, you know that I can escape when necessary . Don't worry . "
Suman's team quickly recovered after the man was eliminated . They all stood up and checked their condition .
"Just go . We have no time to waste . " Suman returned the scimitar to the sheath and hugged Sella . "I need to start moving . Wait for my good news . " He finished the word and disappeared into the darkness .
Messiah and Bella followed after Suman . Mincola, Sella, and Dorman were speechless, but they knew there was nothing they could do .
"Alright, let's head back . We'll become their burden if we decide to go with them . Suman has to rely on the concept gear to deal with the enemies," Dorman said .
They were a bit disappointed, but what Dorman said was true . They turned around and decided to head back .
*BAM*
Suman, Messiah, and Bella were blown away by the impact, they rolled several times on the ground and stopped after hitting the wall .
*CHI*
The colors disappeared from the world . Suman stood up and charged forward .
*BAM*
With a noise, Suman was blown away again, his face pale . He stabbed the scimitar into the wall . The tip of the scimitar left a black trail on the wall—that was the only way to handle the impact .
Suman had no time to think, he just shouted, "Bella!"
*CLANK*
Fire sparked in the tunnel ahead before he could say anything else . Messiah rushed to Suman with Bella in his arms after he dodged the attack made by a large hammer .
*BAM*
The hammer left a large hole in the wall . Broken pieces of stone and dust were everywhere .
A creature that was half human and half snake appeared . He was holding a hammer in one hand and a shield in the other . Intense yellow light surrounded the man's body .
"Concept gear? That's how you sneaked into the sewer . " The snake man sneered . "My name is Anman and this will be the ending for you . "
The snake man swang his hammer and some yellow energy waves spread into the air .
"Wait! He's trying to inform the Dark Wizard Tower . We need to hurry . We'll have no chance if the Dark Wizard Tower decides to send more people here . " Suman pulled his scimitar out of the wall and charged at the man .
Bella stopped Suman and said, "Let me handle this guy . You need to go, we don't have much time left and we can't let the Dark Wizard Tower summon the Dream Lord . "
Suman and Messiah exchanged eye contact .
"Take care, Bella . " They tried to move past the snake man from left and right .
The snake man tried to stop them, but he was attacked by a short sword with black strings on the blade . It seemed like the black strings were formed by some mysterious energy and the snake man had to block the strike .
*Clank*
Messiah and Suman successfully passed the snake man .
"Damn! I'm going to devour you!" The snake man was enraged; he charged at Bella at full speed .
***************************
Angele was still in the other tunnel; he looked confused .
"Suman's team separated into two after they encountered the enemy, but we haven't seen anything . I already casted a spell and I think this might be an abandoned tunnel . Let's move faster, we just need to find the altar . "
Becky had a blank expression on the face . "There's no point to explain it to me . You can do whatever you want . "
"We're partners, you know . " Angele smiled and patted Becky's shoulders . They started advancing again .
They turned to the right and proceeded with caution .
Finally, they heard people fighting ahead . Angele checked the energy waves they released quickly .
Angele increased his speed again and grasped forward using his right hand . A large rock appeared on the ground and turned into a one meter wide and three meters long blade .
He did not check the situation, he just grabbed the blade and slashed forward .
*BAM*
Broken pieces of stone splashed in the air with a noise and the two people that were fighting ahead quickly leaped away from each other .
