The three people walking in front halted, and turned to look at Mag together.

  “You’re indeed Alex. You’re already thinking about how to share the spoils while we are still thinking about how to solve the problem,” Krassu lamented at Mag. “I was also this outrageous when I was young.”


  “No, you weren’t.” Urien shook his head. “You were the one who was getting beat up when you were young.”


  “Th-that was because I let them win.” Krassu sounded weak instantly.

  He had suffered quite a bit when he’d been creating close combat magic in his youth. He had been beaten by all the magic casters of his own age. The worst was that even the younger magic casters of the lower tiers could defeat him.

  Let bygones…… be bygones.

  Mag raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t do this to flex. He simply wanted to complete his mission. However, since he had already said that, he could only put on a calm look.

  “Should we fry it or bake it?” Irina asked seriously. “I’ve never tried the taste of the devil before.”


  “This…… We can only decide after we see the real thing,” Mag replied after some pondering.

  Krassu and Urien looked at the two of them. One really dared to ask, while the other really dared to answer.

  The dirty fellows who believed in the devil were all eradicated, so the Thunderstorm Mountains regained their peace again. Only the cold winds were howling through the mountains, and the occasional thunder was clapping.

  In the deep part of the mountain range, there was a flat plain that was covered in snow, but there was an extra dark void now.

  Krassu tossed a fireball toward the void. The two-meter-wide pitch dark void seemed to be able to consume light. The fireball’s light disappeared instantly when it went into it, as if it had never existed.

  A mass of mysterious black fog was gathered above that void, and some kind of monsters seemed to be squirming and hiding within it.

  “The sealed land is right there.” Urien stopped about five meters away, and looked at that black fog gravely. “This black fog is very difficult to tackle. Everything under the hole is covered by the black fog, and nothing can be seen. The spiritual power is also restricted, and the actual situation beneath it cannot be discerned.”


  “Although the aura is slightly different, this black fog isn’t too different from the black fog that we’ve encountered before. Leave it to me.” Irina went forward with a casual expression, and raised her magic caster’s staff.

  The black fog seemed to feel threatened, and after squirming around, it rushed toward Irina.

  “Holy Light, heed my call. Purify these evils!” Irina chanted loudly as a beam of dazzling holy light shot out from the magic caster’s staff.

  The evil black fog that was shone upon by the holy light disappeared like ice meeting fire.

  Accompanied by a series of nauseating screams, the black fog above the void was completely eradicated quickly.

  “The Holy Light does work in eradicating the black fog.” Urien nodded thoughtfully. The ice magic could only barely cover the void, but it was helpless in eradicating the black fog.

  “The Goddess of Light has always been standing on the opposite side of evil, so it’s not surprising when it could cleanse evil. However, Irina should be the only light great magic caster in this world, right?” There was a hint of regret and worry in Krassu’s tone.

  “Now it’s those things down there.” Irina’s gaze landed on that void as she raised her magic caster’s staff up high. A bigger and brighter beam than the previous one shone into the void.

  Terrifying screams came from the void, and the originally pitch-dark void became bright under the holy light.

  All of them looked down while the holy light was still present. It wasn’t a straight passage down. It resembled a giant cave more, and this void had chiseled an opening above this cave.

  “This cave looks very deep,” said Krassu with a frown.

  “We can all see that.” Urien rolled his eyes.

  “Are we going to jump down right away?” Irina was ready to go. To her, the unknown wasn’t fearful, but rather interesting and challenging.

  “I will take the lead.” Krassu was the first to jump down. Three fireballs hovered in front of him, and lit up the way down for him.

  “See ya.” Urien leaped downward too, but an ice step appeared underneath his feet swiftly after. One step would appear for his every step downward. It was as if he was taking a stroll midair leisurely like an expert.

  “How are we going to go down?” Mag asked Irina. Although he was sure that he wouldn’t fall to his death even if he leaped down, it wouldn’t look too good considering his image as the number one knight in the world.

  “You jump, I jump,” Irina said to Mag lovingly.

  “Let’s go then.” Mag held Irina’s hand and leaped into the void.

  The cave was pitch-black. Only Krassu’s three fireballs were leading the way for them while lighting up and warming up the region.

  Mag appraised his surroundings. He guessed nobody knew that there was such a huge cavern underneath the Thunderstorm Mountains.

  Irina tossed out a few flares. After she saw the neatly chiseled walls in the distance, she felt amazed, and said, “This isn’t a natural cavern. It should have been dug out, but it was done ages ago. It’s even older than the history of elves.”


  “Seems like these fellows are really left behind from the ancient times. They are still alive after countless years,” said Urien hoarsely.

  “The good news is most of their power should have been worn out by the time and the seal.” Krassu chuckled carefreely.

  “The bad news is we might not be able to defeat them despite their being in this state.” Irina shrugged.

  “That would be really very bad,” Krassu exclaimed as he couldn’t deny this possibility.

  “We’re going to reach the bottom,” Krassu reminded them. Two fireballs that had rebounded upward suddenly appeared beneath his feet, and his rapidly falling body was quickly reducing its speed.

  Urien was still strolling downward casually.

  Irina suddenly grabbed Mag’s waist and leaned backward. Their originally heads-down postures were instantly corrected into heads-up postures. Layers of nets consisting of golden threads appeared underneath their feet. Their free-falling speed would decrease every time a net broke beneath them, so they simply landed gently and stably when they touched the ground.

  Mag praised inwardly while he grasped the longsword at his waist naturally.

  This cavern was over 1000 meters deep. It was much colder than the surface, and its surroundings were very empty. Both Krassu’s fireballs and Irina’s magic caster’s staff couldn’t light up the cavern brightly.

  Irina turned one round on the spot before pointing in one direction. “The evil aura came from there.”


  “Let’s go and meet this ancient evil.” Krassu took the lead with his magic caster’s staff. The three fireballs split up into six and hovered around them, while one rushed forward in the lead.
