Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 393: Chapter 0393: Exposure (6200 added, request for monthly pass)

In the Central Federation, there was a swamp.

Poisonous gas formed brightly colored smoke in the mid-air, and deep bubbles occasionally surfaced in the dark green swamp water, spreading an even more foul smell.

Black Kos walked across the swamp to its depths, “Bukadi, come out!”

Gurgle! Gurgle!

More bubbles emerged, forming a whirlpool.

In the center of the whirlpool, a passage appeared.

Black Kos furrowed his brows and went down.

After traversing a damp, dark tunnel, he found himself in a secret realm.

Flowers with human faces, strange trees covered with rotting eyeballs… All kinds of bizarre plants and animals filled the place, blurring the line between plant and creature.

In the center of the realm, there was a shack.

A youth slowly came out.

The Mysterious Elder of the Ancient Snake Society—[Mysterious Sage] Bukadi!

Yet, even if Su Lu were here, he might not recognize him.

This elder not only regained his youthful body, but he also underwent a horrifying transformation. Black, minute snake scales were scattered sporadically on his skin.

His eyes had turned amber, the pupils vertically slit like a snake’s.

“Hiss… Black Kos? What a rare visitor…”

Bukadi sneered bizarrely, and Black Kos clearly saw that his tongue had become forked.

“Yes, I need your help!”

Black Kos grimaced, “The plan to win over the [Wandering Mage]… It failed.”

This Bukadi had not only successfully performed a ‘Demon Summoning’ ritual using the aftermath of the previous ‘Ring of Time’ curse, but he had also reaped immense benefits from it.

A demon had personally completed the aftermath of the [Mysterious Master] transformation, allowing him to successfully advance to the fifth level.

Moreover, some mysterious effects had also occurred on Bukadi, a complete transformation from soul to bloodline.

— This was a consequence of meeting a great existence, even if it was only a phantom.

Of course, the followers of the demon took pride in this.

“Su Lu Pottery? An interesting youngster…”

Bukadi hissed like a snake, “He reminds me of someone else… the ‘Black Knight’! He used to pursue the [Dream Master]’s legacy, and he fled right before my master arrived… What an ignorant fool, he has no idea what he has missed…”

“Are you suspecting… that the [Black Knight] is Su Lu Pottery?” A light flashed in Black Kos’s eyes.

“We can only say… he is suspicious, I need to conduct a divination to make a judgment.”

[Mysterious Sage] Bukadi smiled eerily, and suddenly his eyes shut.

He was performing ‘Dream Divination’.

All fortune-telling and prophecies in this world have actually originated from the Dream Spirit World.

The Dream Spirit World was a compilation of all information in the world, encompassing the past, present, and future!

Among them, predicting the past was the ‘simplest’ because it had already happened and had inevitably left traces in the world!

‘The [Mysterious Sage], mastering numerous high-level mysterious rituals, proficient in legendary alchemy…how enviable…’

Watching this scene, Black Kos’s thoughts kept turning: ‘It’s a pity… There has been research in the society, [Mysterious Master]’s path has come to an end. Although my master stepped in to break the law, it merely boosted the profession to fifth level, perhaps there is a sixth level, but definitely not a seventh level profession, because the seventh level of this path requires to be ‘omniscient and omnipotent’… Even the Seven Major Orthodox deities, they only claim to dominate a certain field, never daring to claim to be omniscient and omnipotent…’

A moment later, Bukadi opened his eyes, a shock flashed through his vertical pupils.

“What’s the result?”

Black Kos immediately asked further.

“Although the other party has a Fifth Level professional rank, which interfered with the divination, I am 60% sure that Su Lu Pottery is indeed the Federally-wanted ‘Black Knight’!” Bukadi spoke slowly: “He is a person full of secrets.”

“I see…” Black Kos found this somewhat difficult.

These sorts of divinations, if performed by other diviners, even at the Fifth Level, might not reach the standard of the [Mysterious Sage]. In other words, they can’t be completely certain, the evidence is insufficient.

Besides, the Ancient Snake Society accusing Su Lu is a joke in itself.

Moreover, even if it was proven that Su Lu is the Black Knight, the maximum charge against him would only be the massacre of the Demon Old House —— everyone who knew about the Dream of the Ancient God is dead.

If such a crime was committed by a Fourth Level, the Federation would undoubtedly do everything to bring them down.

But the perpetrator is at the Fifth Level, moreover, they are exceptional at escaping!

Even the likes of Arsen and Schumacher must tread carefully.

“The only thing that could be used is the Goddess of Light Church… Those stubborn fanatics won’t tolerate any sins, especially against the clergy.”

Black Kos sneered.

Since the other party dared to reject his recruitment, and treated him that way, they must pay the price!

“Where was the last place I saw him…?”

With this damning evidence in his hands, Black Kos felt a surge of confidence.

“He’s not in this world anymore…”

The [Mysterious Sage] shook his head.

“What?”

“Did you forget? The other party is a [Wandering Mage], capable of traversing numerous worlds…” Bukadi coughed, a longing in his eyes: “Such a rare ability, truly enviable…”

Of the Fifth Level beings capable of inter-world travel, to his knowledge, there is only the [Wandering Mage].

“Not in this world… Not in this world…”

Mumbling to himself, Black Kos suddenly finds the situation very troublesome.

The most crucial prerequisite for any threat is to ensure the target has no way out.

But a [Wandering Mage] is different!

If he decides to abandon everything, he can completely forsake this world! Run away to another world!

This makes his options virtually unlimited!

Even if he’s being hunted in this world, he could start anew in an alien world!

Black Kos immediately felt that his already limited chips have significantly devalued.

He screamed in a fit of rage: “Damn it… Damn him… And the [Wandering Mage]!”

“Cough cough…” Bukadi still looks calm, with only the depths of his eyes seemingly harboring a constant flame: “We need a [Wandering Mage], or a [Soul Reaper], [Hell Demon]… only they can move freely in the Dream Spirit World, find the Dream of the Ancient God, and that ‘thing’! Of them, the mobility of the [Wandering Mage] is the strongest… What a shame…”

Bukadi was very regretful, then suddenly, his expression changed: “My time has come…”

“Huh?”

To Black Kos’ astonishment, scales spread rapidly on Bukadi’s body, his pupils consumed by bloodlust and madness, he transformed into a half-human, half-snake creature.

Even more abruptly, he attacked Black Kos.

Splash!

Before Black Kos could react, his illusion was split in two, the last thing he saw was Bukadi’s snake-mouth, transformed and opened wide enough to swallow a whole cow.

‘It seems… After witnessing the illusory figure of my lord, Bukadi has become ‘half-mad’, or to put in other words, he was always crazy, only able to maintain a certain level of ‘sanity’ every day…’

Black Kos mused, before being swallowed by darkness.
