Somewhere in the endless Gem Sea.
Two dark claws suddenly reached out of the water, and slashed down hard.
*CHI*
The dimension was ripped apart, and a dark space was revealed. The seawater kept running into the dark space, while the two claws quickly turned into a pair of human hands. A tall man with long red hair slowly stepped out of the fissure.
The man had a red eye and a blue eye, and a cold expression on his face. He glanced around and snorted. The dimension fissure disappeared after he clapped.
Atlanta and Angele had a contract. He needed to get the Sea Flowers for Atlanta, and Atlanta would give him the potion. Without the Sea Flowers, he would not be able to get the potion. If Angele gave Atlanta the Sea Flowers but the latter failed to provide the potion, Atlanta would be punished. However, Angele did not give Atlanta the Sea Flowers, so the trade had not started yet, and the contract would not punish any of them.
What Atlanta did made Angele angry. Atlanta had the potion and forced Angele to work for him in the dimension universe. If the bird did not help him, Angele would have to fight for the flowers—that was why he was enraged.
He glanced around and noticed some purple light fading away. The purple light was from Medusa's energy waves.
After leaving the dimension universe, Angele returned to the Star Lord Palace and asked the palace to send him back to his own dimension. He followed the original route and returned to the wizard world. He found Leonard on his way back, but did not see Atlanta around. Atlanta probably returned to the wizard world before him.
"Anyway, I got what I needed." Angele exhaled slowly. After the ancestor's mark was removed, he felt relaxed. Angele studied battle skills, bloodlines, time, dimension, and energy radiation; however, he'd had no idea what the ancestor's mark was. He'd had no idea how to remove the mark, and the biochip could not offer him any help.
'The ancestor's mark is like a type of a curse. I should put some time into it so that I'll be able to handle it myself if I'm marked again. Luckily, the ancestor's mark on my body was not aggressive; I doubt the next mark I encounter will be passive.'
Angele thought for a while and decided to study the curses.
He made the decision and checked the direction. He turned into a ray of red light and flew to Ramsoda.
Angele already became the strongest being of this realm, and was just one step away from being an ancestor. He was no longer interested in other random things.
Only ancestors had the ability to travel in the dimension space and go to whichever realm they wanted. Ancestors had infinite lifespan, and realms where time passed fast—like the Chaos Realm—were not a problem to them.
Angele would focus on reaching the ancestor level after everything settled. He decided to spend some time on other things that he cared about first.
He was freed from the ancestor's mark, and traveling was no longer a problem to him.
***************************
Several years later…
Somewhere deep in the Gem Sea. A random island.
On a white island, there were many small houses made of bamboo. The green houses covered the whole island, and there were more than ten green boats anchored by the beach. It looked like the boats were made using wood, but the texture also resembled that of green jade stones.
There were some people working near the anchorage. They were checking the fish they caught.
They were wearing clothes made of green leaves. The males and females all had balanced bodies and attractive faces, and had green tattoos on their clean skin.
The men all had short hair, and there were green circles on their foreheads. The women were wearing green headbands, and were all wearing ponytails.
Under the intense sunlight, they were standing on the beach and the clothes they wore looked identical to the clothes produced by humans.
The leaders were a man and a woman with green eyes. They were checking the situation by the harbor.
"We didn't catch a lot of Gu Fish this year…" The man's brow furrowed.
"Is there something wrong with this area? We don't have enough fish for our people. It'll be a problem."
"There's nothing we can do." The woman was worried. "The energy particles are not as dense as before, yet the Gu Fish need them. We also have a problem with reproducing. We moved many times over the years, and there are not enough males here. I think we, tree elves, might go extinct in around 50 years if we can't find a valid way to solve our problems."
The two remained silent and there were many thoughts going through their minds.
There was a man in a black robe floating above the clouds over the island. It was Angele—he'd just found this place.
He hid in the clouds and observed the tree elves carefully.
"I didn't know my mother's people would live on the Gem Sea. The energy particles are not as dense as before, but tree elves need dense energy particles to reproduce. I think they'll die out sooner or later."
Angele's brow furrowed; he thought for a while.
"I've never seen my mother, but whatever. I don't want it to bother me in the future."
He started drawing runes in the sky, and the runes quickly turned into tiny shadows, which slowly disappeared and turned into a humongous rune circle with a diameter of over ten meters.
Angele finished the rune circle and pushed it slightly.
"Go now."
He sighed slightly.
The rune circle started falling toward the island like a heavy stone, moving to the center of the island.
Angele overlooked the area and watched the rune circle land in the center of the island. The rune circle was like a shadow and did not hurt any of the tree elves, but they were scared for a second.
The tree elves waited until the rune circle settled and quickly moved to it.
The leaders also walked to the rune circle and started observing it carefully.
Angele had already figured out that the male tree elf and the female tree elf were his mother's direct inheritors. It had been years, but he still found them through the bloodline.
He thought for a while and started writing in the air.
At the same time, rows of text appeared on the ground in front of the two tree elves. The text was written in Rudin Empire's language.
'From Angele Fenrir Rio.'
They were surprised after seeing the text. They had no idea what'd just happened.
The man looked at the text and started thinking.
"Rio… Rio… It's the last name of a noble family from the Rudin Empire! I remember now! Our ancestor was married to a noble family in the Rudin Empire!"
"That must be it! I heard that the Rio Family already founded a country on the land," the woman spoke with mixed emotions. "We tree elves also had a glorious period in the history and had many strong wizards. Sadly…"
"Only a strong being could accomplish like this. He must be an important member of the Rio Family! I heard there are many formal wizards in the Rio Family. Maybe he found us when he was just passing by and decided to help us because of our ancestor. If we find any members of the Rio Family on the sea, we should also offer them help." The man sighed.
"I wonder who this Angele is…" the woman looked at the humongous rune circle in front of her. "The rune circle is formed by gathering energy particles, but if Master Angele is a human, these energy particles won't really help us…"
She walked in the circle, crouched, and started checking runes.
*KA*
Some red electric pulses blocked her hand when she touched the runes.
"Huh?" The woman wondered. "It seems like these runes are a bit different."
The man hesitated for a second and asked, "What's the problem?"
Suddenly, the rune circle slowly released intense red light.
*BAM*
A ray of red light stroke into the sky. The light then connected the sky to the land.
The white clouds in the sky started rotating like crazy, illuminated by the red light. The golden sunlight was slowly blocked by the clouds, and there were red electric pulses coming out of them.
*WOO*
There was also sharp noise coming out of the ground, and the whole island started shaking madly.
The tree elves on the island were shocked.
"What the…!?"
The female tree elf in the circle raised her head and looked at the clouds. She could not believe what she was seeing.
The noise continued, and the tree elves' bodies started trembling.
Countless red runes appeared in the area around the island. The blue sea was turned into red, and a rune circle with a diameter of over 300 kilometers appeared on the surface of the water. The wood energy particles were filtered out and dragged to the center of the island.
Angele floated in the red sky and overlooked the island quietly. The red rune circle was releasing eye-blinding red light; at the center of the circle, there was a black scorpion mark.
It was the symbol of his true form. If he used his bloodline power to a certain level, the symbol of his true form would be left on the ground automatically. It would only happen when he had the power level of a rank 8 wizard. He had no reason to hide his traces in the wizard world, as he had nothing to feel afraid of. He was certain that even the realm guardians could not hurt him. Although he might not be able to kill them, he would not lose any fight with the help of the blood mask.
"That's it…"
*CHI*
Angele's body turned into some red flames and disappeared into the sky.
