Mystical Journey

The area nearby Vengeance Fortress was a mysterious place flagged with white mist. Almost all creatures that enter would be lost and returned to their starting points. Apart from higher level existences that could enter and leave at ease, the rest could not.

This land was a white zone wrapped around by the lingering clouds.

There were white towering trees and bushes everywhere. The plants here were all in withering states. There were no leaves, only dry branches. Even the bushes were mostly shrubbery without sheds of leaves, only thorny vines winding in threatening gestures.

A group of living beings in black were slowly heading for this mist.

This group of creatures was led by a tall tough man followed by a mix match of demons, humans and elves. There were even a few Air Elemental Beings.

The lead was a man with cold features. The shape of his muscles was obvious from his clothes.

“It’s here.

“All the soul crystals that the lord needs are here.

“Pay attention and don’t wreak too much havoc.”

“And we, White Feathers, need your advice?” An Air Elemental Being with white fabric shrouded around him coldly smiled.

“My only wish is that you don’t ruin the matter,” The leading man coldly blurted.

And it was at this moment.

Wham!!

With the dull crash, a puff of white air current exploded within the white forest. These air currents whooshed open like broken strings, spreading out to all direction, howling an ear-piercing screech.

“Quick! They’re getting away!”

An Air Elemental Being shouted out.

Those on the team immediately took action. The casters put out a large electrical web and rays of positive energy.

There was also a huge explosion that scattered the white air currents apart, creating a powerful murderous soundwave.

“Disastrous Rain of Fury!”

A demon in black robes wedged open his cape and tore apart a scroll.

Rip!

Bright yellow flames gushed out of his eyes as a large fiery three-dimensional sorcery formation appeared on the air.

“Boundless Electrical Web!”

An eye-catching electrical current rune beamed up in the palms of another Air Elemental Being.

Two large level eleven ripples spread out from the two an overlapped between one another.

“Uniquely level eleven spellcraft!!”A terrified voice was heard from the woods.

“Compound spell, go!!”

Bounteous air currents surged to one direction, toward the team in a distance.

But it was all too late.

An enormous red light beamed from the sky and over a hundred fireballs the size of a knuckle dropped down like raindrops.

Each fireball exploded before it touched the ground like a red firework on a slow release.

The forest was ignited and crackled in flames. The sound of collapsing and crackling kept buzzing on.

The great fire distributed quickly.

With the descent of the rain of fury, the entire vicinity within several kilometers was engaged in this massive level eleven spellcraft.

Apart from this rain of fury, a few of the cracks and nooks of the space was stretching out in shapeless transparent and invisible electrical web.

These electric current unseen by the naked eye were as thick as a baby’s limb. Countless streaks of electric web conjoined together to form an even large electrical current web, locking the surface tightly that no living being could escape from such fate.

The demons and Air Elemental Beings were masters of the same White Feather team were well coordinated to the point of flawlessness.

“The combination of two level eleven spells is basically the same effect of a level thirteen spell… How powerful!” The lead gasped lowly in admiration.

Everywhere in sigh was burning in red flames. The glaring light scorched and scattered the entire white mist. Screams and wails could be indistinctly heard.

“These Souls of Mist race aren’t strong in combat but they have a way with soul powers.

“Perhaps we could collect some valuable data for commander,” The man in the lead said in a low voice.

“We will pay attention,” The casting demon of the White Feather demon lightly nodded. “The lead force is about to come out, everyone be on alert.

“Do not let even one escape.”

“Understood,” The White Feather comrades answered.

Swish!!

A white vapor soared for the sky and flew to a distance.

“I’ll go!” An Air Elemental Being shot like a sprung arrow, chasing after the white vapor.

The two parties could be seen intertwining from afar, with an occasional blast of energy source rippling.

Nearby, steams of white vapor gathered to be a large white cloud, plunging towards everyone.

A female elf of White Feather calmly raised her arm, an emerald ring in her hand lit up in green.

“Divine weapon!!?? No!!!” The white bat whimpered in pain. Green vines and branches grew out of his insides and almost in an instant, the large white bat was completely covered by these green vines.

The female elf smiled and took a step back.

“Helena, you have already broke through level twelve yet you use a divine weapon on a level ten undead, that’s too much, isn’t it…?” Someone from the team laughed.

White Feather was masters of various paths paid handsomely by Garen. Most of them has a mysterious past but he wasn’t bothered by their history. As long as they had the ability, he couldn’t care less about anything else.

The majority of these fellas came from mysterious and powerful backgrounds as a handful of them possessed semi-divine and divine weapons. Garen himself only possessed a semi-divine weapon that was gifted by Soaring Wong King.

Divine weapons were hard to come by as it couldn’t be purchased in the market. Only those family and forces that cultivated deeply would have access to them.

This elf was only level twelve yet she dared show her divine weapon off. It could be due to either overconfidence and arrogance or not fearing of any accidents that may occur.

Those who entered White Feather would naturally would not be the latter.

“As it is a request from lord commander, how could I let him down,” The female elf smiled in response.

“The earlier leader here is only a clone.

“Be careful everyone.

“Although only a Level Ten Non-Failing, we still must be wary,” The leading man warned in a loud voice.

“Everyone here is an important edit of our Vengeance Fortress so it’s best not to have any fatality from a tiny mishap.”

“You really are as naggy as grandma!” A Dirt Elemental Rock Monster impatiently commented.

The man smiled awkwardly. He was one of the generals under Andrew. He was in charge of the team here because Master Andrew himself couldn’t stand the arrogance of these people.

But up until now, everything has been going on smoothly.

Seeing the earlier killed white bat dispersed, a white sharp rock fall from within. The man sighed within. He recognized it. This was the soul core which was the target of the task. Although a part of this clan leader’s soul core, but at least it was a start.

There were flames and electrical current everywhere and only the area where everyone stood and moved about at, the flames and current would spontaneously avoid.

A level ten clan, was swept away in one go by the elites of White Feather.

******

Peak of Cold Winter Tower.

Six oval-shaped swirls of various color floated in the air, forming a large circle. It consisted of yellow direct elemental look, blue water elemental pool. Green wind elemental pool, red fire elemental pool as well as black and white negative and positive energy pool.

Within the six main elemental pools was a silver elevator in the tower. It was solidified with a layer of semi-transparent hazy film.

Whirl…

A soft whizzing of elevator sound was heard.

Garen was slowly raised from the center. He was wearing a black armor with high defense.

This was full body armor specifically for a deputy commander of the fortress.

It was heavy and large, weighing more than a ton in weight. A regular living being wouldn’t be able to wear it, much less hold it up.

But to Garen, he could shrink his dragon body to fit into it yet still maneuver with ease and as carefree as could be.

Behind the armor were decades of pitch black whips braided with metal silks. It could also said to be tentacles that could be controlled by spirit power. Garen used them as extra hands.

This set of armor was built with a special bone attribute. It could not be influenced by arcane energy flow or transmission. It could also prevent any injury that results from possible explosion towards the body due to experimental spellcraft so Garen put it on.

His motive this time was to adequately mobilize the elemental pools.

The six main elemental pools were respectively connected to six elemental plane rich with various elements which in turn, connected to the violent energy windstorm plane. They used an enormous force field to cluster the violent energy elements so that they were tamed and gentrified into complete energy source for the system.

Garen’s mission up here to was to use the torrenting energy current to execute an Energy Machinery creation familiar to an Energy Machinist.

He walked out of the elevator platform and first went to the most gentle blue water elemental pool to look at the whirling blue swirl. He slowly extended his claw to dab lightly of the blue elemental fluid.

The highly concentrated elemental fluid was gasifying on his claw.

Garen brought it to his mouth for a taste.

“Not bad, concentrated enough,” He nodded, satisfied.

He swept a glance over to the screen in the mind of his willpower. The remaining quota on the usage of the water elemental pool appeared there.

“Idle energy source – 32%”

Garen left the elemental pool and found two empty nests specially vacated in a corner of the tower. He left them out as space for biochemical pool and experiments.

He gently sprinkled out a bronze metal ball.

This was a biochemical pool seed that Garen created. He was, after all a top Energy Machinist in the Mech world and had collected various research information. He created a biochemical pool seed easily, utilizing the abundant materials from the abyss.

Of course, this would only work if it were him as he stood above the civilization of the Mech World, having countless amassed formulas and theorem at his disposal. After an execution of a complicated calculation, a biochemical pool seed that was most up to standard and pure came to light.

The establishment of a biochemical pool signified that an Energy Machinist could officially nurture his own Energy Machinery and bio-soldiers.

Garen quietly watched as the biochemical pool seed dropped to the bottom of the empty hole. It rumbled and tumbled a bit before ripping out a black fluid.

The fluid was thickening and amassing and quickly occupied the entire space in the hole.

It hasn’t been ten minutes when the biochemical pool was completed.

This was a large pool that was oval in shape and filled with green glowing liquid. The condensed liquid was bubbling like the wriggling of creepy crawlies. It emitted a dull green glow.

Around its edges was a startling black protection ring that formed a layer of isolation that separated the air within the space of the biochemical pool and the outside world.

“Biochemical pool established… Connecting command control…”

An instruction order was heard from his willpower mind in Garen’s brain.

“Connection succeeded.

“Name defaulted to Pool No. 1.

“Testing Nutrition composition… Test succeeded, composition complete.

“Please insert cultivating Energy Machinery seed.”

Garen was not in a rush to carry out. For starters, an Energy Machinery template was not easy to come by and another thing was that an Energy Machinery required a smart chip to be controlled with. He was lacking in the methods of controlling. It would be fine in a technology world to use a simple method of electrical energy source as the driving force of the smart chip but it was easy for elemental wizards to cause interference here. So although he could easily create a smart chip, preventing interference was the main difficulty.

Moreover, once his biochemical pool was built, it has another function.
