Chapter 160 Escape
After he handed the task of guarding Bleia over to the Fire Lord, Leon finally had some time to clean up the battlefield.The spiritual connection with Lucy had broken long ago, and the reason was unknown. Leon had a vague feeling that something was happening in the outside world.
To prevent him from being at a loss of what to do later, Leon thought it was better to first adjust his condition to the best he could; only then would he leave this place.
He had took back the storage waist belt that had been taken away by Eclivel, together with all of his magical equipment. But it was a pity; since he had become an official Mage, this Apprentice Mage level equipment was no longer useful to him.
At this moment, some rubble not far away started to roll about, revealing a short, vague figure of green.
"Master, master! You've really become an Mage! This is excellent! Congratulations my master..."
Leon looked at the goblin, whose face was kindled with joy mixed with flattering expression; he couldn't help but be surprised. During the devastating war that had happened not long ago, the raging magic spells had nearly plowed through the entire isolated inter-space. Even the bloody altar, protected by magical arrays as it was, had collapsed and disintegrated. Yet, this goblin slave who didn't have much self-protecting ability actually survived?
It looked like this fellow also had some secrets that nobody else knew!
With a smirk, Leon snorted coldly and said, "Go
Without the help from the transformation of the Flame Fiend, his body attributes were in no way comparable with Bleia. Although Bloodline Mages only mastered few magic spells, they owned an intrepid body that could perfectly match their magic spells.
It was fortunate that Leon still had the backup of his golems; or else, if he was to fight Bleia alone, there wouldn't be any advantage left for him!
Since Bleia had succeeded in her advancement, there wasn't any real reason to keep staying in this isolated inter-space. Leon called Bleia and Snorlax, held their hands with each hand, and walked toward the edge of this space.
While walking, a burning hot flame started to emerge from Leon's body. After becoming an Mage, Leon was more proficient in controlling Fire Elementium. Under his command, a glowing red fire pillar hit the spatial barrier, and very soon it melted out a large hole that allowed them to pass through.
Though the fire pillar radiated a frighteningly high-temperature, it didn't bring any harm to Bleia and Snorlax, who were standing so close to it. Judging from this alone, one could tell that Leon had made significant progress in his Fire element innate talent.
As for where exactly this isolate inter-space was located, none of them had any idea. But presumably, as Mage Eclivel wanted to obtain the enhancement provided by the Swampy Tower, it was impossible for him to build it in a remote place. It was certainly still within the boundaries of the Magical Swamp.
When they melted through the barrier and squeezed out from the secret space, they found themselves standing inside of the earth.
Leon closed his eyes and sensed for a brief moment. Their current location was merely twenty meters below the surface. After telling Bleia about it, Leon's body exploded into a flaming torch and shot right up into the soil.
Right after they disappeared from the scene, some changes suddenly happened within the emptied and quiet, secret underground space.
After Leon and others had cleaned up this place, besides the rubble that was scattered all over the ground, the only thing left was the extremely frightful looking dried corpse of Mage Eclivel. However, right after Leon's aura disappeared, the largest pile of rubble found in the center of the secret space suddenly collapsed. A swarm of black scorpions burst out from within.
Compared to when they were at their peak, there were less than one hundred of these black scorpions left. It was indeed miserable. Right at the heart of these scorpions, on the back of a black bug who looked bigger and stronger than others, a miniature face of Blake actually showed up.
Looking at the edge of this secret space starting to collapse slowly as the integrity of the structure was damaged, Worm controller Blake let out a hateful bug cry.
"Trying to kill me? Leon, you'll never succeed in your lifetime. Hmph, since you don't want this dried corpse, it will serve as my war trophy. Once I swallow it and become an Mage, it will also be the end of your happy days!"
While roaring furiously, Blake commanded his bugs to cover Eclivel's remains.
Soon, the only sound left in the scene was the dreadful noise of biting and crunching!
...
The once mysterious and gruesome Magical Swamp had now completely turned into a real death zone.
Covered by the thick fog, a fireball suddenly soared up high into the sky and exploded from within an abandoned garden located in a remote corner.
The fireball came in fast, and it faded away just as quickly.
When the flame dispersing in all directions finally vanished into thin air, three strange figures of different heights appeared from the center of the fireball.
Because it was the first time he had tried the Fire Teleportation, Leon still didn't have a precise control over the distance. As a result, the position where the trio appeared was ten meters above the ground.
For Bleia, hovering in midair was a piece of cake; but obviously, it was a different story for Leon.
Therefore, a faint cry was heard, as Leon took Snorlax with him and fell to the ground like a heavy rock.
On the ground, a Baby Demon was dragging its body and wandering around aimlessly, but it was suddenly frightened and startled by the fireball that exploded over its head. Just as it was staring blankly at the few bizarre figures who had suddenly appeared, their bodies started to grow bigger and bigger while moving closer to it...
The Demon Baby let out a sharp cry as it woke up, and prepared to run away from where it had stopped. But it was too late!
In the next few seconds, a muffled boom burst out, as Leon fell and landed steadily on the ground, throwing up a huge amount of dust.
"Garden of Whispers! It is surprising that Eclivel actually built the secret space underneath the Garden of Whispers. Surely he was secret enough!" Bleia gradually descended beside Leon. Her crimson eyes were cast over to the Swampy Tower, barely visible within the misty fog in the far distance.
As both of them were exchanging glances and puzzled over the quietness surrounding this place, light and shadow suddenly flashed through their eyes and their heads started to feel dizzy. In just a brief moment, they actually reappeared back inside the fifth floor of the Swampy Tower. In front of them was an old man, clad in a black robe, who had a cold and arrogant expression.
"Both of you have made the breakthrough and become Mages? Where is that Eclivel?"
Though he didn't say much, the terrifying pressure of a high-grade Mage instantly startled Leon and Bleia, and Snorlax simply laid flat on its stomach on the floor, trembling violently without being able to stop.
He was a Second... Second Grade Mage!
