Six people dressed in dark cloaks formed a circle, with a woman in the center standing on a magic circle, chanting an incantation. After ten seconds, a dark purple light surged from the ground, and within the light, a glowing body faintly appeared. The participants continued to cast their magic until the body opened its eyes, at which point the group showed joyful expressions.
The leader, Roode, said, "We respectfully welcome the greatest magician of the Five Continents, Belnanke, back to the mortal realm."
The young woman surveyed her surroundings, including the people casting spells, and her first thought was about the Dark Brotherhood. She couldn't use any magic at the moment as her soul was still being shaped, but in a few minutes, she would show them.
"Soul-summoning magic." Belnanco inspected the magic circle at his feet, which was accompanied by a pool of blood, emitting a foul odor. This magic required a living sacrifice to be performed.
"You're right, this magic was invented by you. Speaking of which, many of the spells you left behind in your lifetime have been put to good use in this era." Roode kept a close eye on the people in the magic circle, fearing the slightest mishap.
"Is that so?" Belnanco looked down at him, sneering. "Since it's my invention, what can a mere magic circle do to stop me?" As she finished speaking, her soul was fully formed, magic surging through her body. With a sizzling sound from her palm, "Silver Fire Needles," countless golden silver needles swarmed towards them like a myriad of insects, penetrating their skin. This was the highest level of Fire magic, causing those affected to feel as if they were being bitten by countless insects, the pain reaching deep into their bones.
Four people were all hit, falling to the ground rolling and screaming. Two people left used Soul Shackles to trap her, Roode chanted: "Ice Prison, entangle," everything around was covered with a layer of frost, a white crystal prison surrounded Luer Lanke, but this prison did not last for five seconds before being burned to ashes by a burst of purple flames, even the Soul Shackles were burned into a mass of debris.
Seeing this fierce flame, the people were so afraid that they dared not move, their pupils dilated. One of them said, "Purple Flame Flow, this is Purple Flame Flow."
Purple Flame Flow has the power to overturn the rivers and seas, and anything it touches will be turned into nothingness in an instant. All the magicians in the world want to obtain this power, but not everyone can control this force. Only those recognized by Purple Flame Flow and have made a contract can make this power their own.
She calmly stepped out of the magic circle, approaching Roode step by step. "You went to great lengths to summon me. What is your purpose?" Bel-Nankou's palm burned with a flame as it slowly approached Roode's face. "If it ignites you, your soul will be destroyed, unable to rest in peace."
"I was ordered by the master to resurrect you, and then take the Purple Flame Flow within you." Before he could finish, he choked. Bel-Nankou examined his body and found parasites inside. If the host said something they shouldn't, the parasites would self-destruct, releasing poisonous blood into the body, turning them into a corpse in seconds. This was the Dark Brotherhood's usual method, using parasites to control and threaten others to do their bidding.
Bel-Nankou's examination of the bodies was futile, so he burned them. The fire grew larger, and upon closer inspection, they were in a mountain forest. Soon, some people were rushing over, both men and women, sounding panicked and genuine. Luer Lanke sensed that these people were all ordinary, non-magical individuals, so he reduced the fire and left before they arrived.
Youshou, Cang Wu.
The prison of the heavens, 11:00 PM.
A mountain city stands in the sky, this is the dungeon where heavy-duty prisoners are detained. A prison guard is patrolling the prisoners' cells. Suddenly, a roar comes from the room on the right at the end of the corridor. The guard realizes something is wrong and quickly runs over to sweep the room with a flashlight. He finds no one on the bed, no one in the corner, not even on the ceiling. He immediately takes out the key to open the door and checks every corner of the room, completely unaware that someone is behind him. In an instant, the guard is knocked unconscious.
After a minute, the prisoner changed into a police uniform and left the room. Outside the cell, he saw several groups of people on guard duty. He avoided the surveillance cameras, went to a blind spot, and signaled to the sky. The people outside received the signal and immediately launched a magical attack inside.
The prison alarm sounded, and all personnel were mobilized.
"Commander, prisoner number 21, Gelie, is missing."
Gelle is currently fighting with a few wizards.
"Gelle, stop struggling, come back with us, give up resistance, there is still a chance of survival."
"Thunder Rage, Thousand Layer Fury!" Gelle uses the advanced Thunder magic, causing lightning to strike the area from above, preventing anyone from getting close.
dungeonMarshal Marandude rushed over, releasing Illusion magic to disrupt his thoughts, but Gellé remained unfazed, seemingly prepared to counter Marandude's interference. The dungeon invaders continued their attack, with dungeon's forces divided into four teams to deal with invaders coming from the east, west, south, and north. Only a few mages and Marandude were left to confront Gellé, and with the help of the invaders, Gellé gained the upper hand.
After a few minutes, Gellé threw a smoke bomb to disrupt their vision and seized the opportunity to escape.
"Spread the word, inform the mages in the five provinces, S-rank fugitive Gellé has escaped. If found, eliminate immediately. Reward: 3 million." said Sizhi Jian.
Once the reward message was posted, it quickly climbed to the top of the hunting website's rankings, and wanted posters for Gellé appeared in the streets and alleys.
Shuizhou, Qingshan
The Magic Inspection Committee is currently inspecting the traces of the burned area, hoping to find useful information. The area of the fire is surrounded by a yellow line, and onlookers outside the circle are watching the excitement.
The leader of the inspection team, Gu Ci, suddenly discovered a bloodstain in a burnt area. He used his hand to sweep away the surface ash, revealing a bloodstain that twisted and turned on the ground, resembling a magic circle. Gu Ci ordered someone to clean away the black ash on the surface, and soon a huge magic circle appeared before their eyes, prompting the photographer to quickly take a picture.
Member of the inspection team, Mo Chuan, said, "There was a big fire here last night. The villagers living at the foot of the mountain discovered it and hurried up the mountain to check. The color of the fire was purple."
Gu Ci's face turned pale, "Purple?"
Mo Chuan said, "Yes, and what's more, the fire couldn't be put out with water, that's what they said," pointing to the villagers outside the circle.
Gu Ci crossed the yellow line and found the local village chief. "Who saw what the fire looked like last night?"
The village chief quickly brought the people who had seen the fire's appearance to Gu Ci. A teenage boy said, "The color of the fire was really purple, we all saw it."
Other people nodded one after another.
"We tried to put it out with water, but it just wouldn't go out. In the end, the fire went out on its own."
Gu Ci asked some more questions and then let them go home. The inspection team also disbanded and returned to the office.
Last night, Bel-Nankou fled overnight and found an abandoned temple to rest for the night. Upon waking up, he adjusted the magic within his body. His soul felt more complete after last night's battle, and he believed it was due to the restoration of his soul by Purple Flame Flow. In the magical world, humans primarily study magic as their main subject, with other subjects being secondary. Some people can use magic from birth, known as innate magic users, while others learn to use magic later in life, known as acquired magic users. There is no distinction or hierarchy between innate and acquired magic users.
Water, Fire, Thunder, Wind, and Earth are the common five elemental magic types. Healing, Illusion, Sealing, and Summoner are the few magic types that only a small number of people can learn. In addition to studying magic, magicians also need to practice close combat and fighting skills.
Just as she was about to open the door to go out and find something to eat, she heard a strange noise in her stomach. She stopped to catch her breath and suddenly heard footsteps approaching. The door was kicked open and a young woman rushed in, looking serious and panicked, her clothes disheveled. She completely missed the presence of Luer Lanke and hid behind the Buddha statue in the temple.
A group of men appeared at the temple gate, their footsteps growing louder and more chaotic. One of them, impatiently, asked, "Hey, have you seen a girl come through here?"
The speaker had a fierce look on their face and showed no manners. Bel-Nankou casually glanced at them, ignored them, and stepped out of the door. Suddenly, someone intentionally kicked them from behind. Luer Lanke grabbed the person's ankle and forcefully threw them to the ground, shattering the floor. Seeing this, the person's companions attacked, but their movements were too slow and full of openings, and they were all kicked out of the temple by Bel-Nankou. "Damn it, you're asking for death."
A gust of air swirled around him, with sparks of electricity flashing in his hand. Bel-Nankou smiled, as it turned out he was a master of the Thunder magic. This kind of highly destructive and fast-acting magic was rare among the crowd, not to mention those who could master it to the highest level. So when people saw a Thunder mage, they looked at him with envy, jealousy, and admiration.
He mobilized all his magical power, gathering it in the center of his palm, and released it with all his might towards Bel-Nankou, "Thunder Seal, Furious Strike."
Small and large lightning bolts coiled around him like silver snakes. They thought Bel-Nankou would surely die from this blow, but before the smoke cleared, several lightning bolts fell from the sky, enveloping the group of people. They were all charred black, with smoke still rising from their bodies.
As long as I move, my whole body feels like it's being electrocuted, numb and painful.
"Who do you think you're bullying, causing trouble everywhere just because you know a little magic." Bel-Nankou left calmly, not even bothering to look back, and left alone.
Bel-Nankou went into the mountains again to look for wild fruits to fill her stomach. The place where she encountered Dark Brotherhood last night is on the east side of the mountain. She has been walking westward into the mountains, and unexpectedly walked out of the mountains and arrived at a street market. There are no tall buildings here, only small low-rise buildings. It seems not to be the city center, but there are quite a few people. She doesn't know where this is, so she stopped a young man and asked, "Where is this place?"
The young man said, "Qingshan Country's border town."
She asked again, "Which province?"
He replied, "Shuizhou."
In the magical world, there are a total of five states, namely Xanadu, mullet sandbar, Yingzhou, Shuizhou, and Cangzhou. Each state is composed of various small and large countries. Qingshan Country is the most powerful country in Shuizhou. She asked about the current year and found out that it is the year 3034 AD. She realized that 20 years have passed since her death, enough time for the world to change drastically.
Not far away, there is a crowd gathered around a notice board. Bel-Nankou also walked over to see what the commotion was about. The notice board displayed a large newspaper with the following message: "Due to the appearance of a man-eating monster at Ling Mountain last night, entry into the mountain is prohibited for anyone." The people around were talking to each other.
"border town is protected by a barrier, how did the monsters get in?"
"Even living in border town, the barrier is not always completely effective."
"Then it's better not to go into the mountains. There have been a lot of strange occurrences in the mountains recently. Some time ago, I saw a group of people who didn't look like they were from here go into the mountains and never come out again."
"Last night, a huge fire broke out inexplicably in the mountains, and terrifying sounds were heard."
"The residents living at the foot of the mountain were also called in for questioning. I heard from someone living there that the fire was purple and couldn't be extinguished with water."
"And there's a fire that can't be put out with water."
These people's words, Bel-Nankou listened carefully. The fire she set last night was seen by someone, and the relevant authorities will definitely investigate. As long as someone has studied magic, they can guess from just a few words that the fire was the Purple Flame Flow, but whether those people believe it is another matter.
