Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1130: Chapter 922: Edna Watching the Show

The Sanda King gave her a suggestive glance: ”I actually wanted to stall for time, but the Old Dog told me to use it now and hopefully take one down.

The Hydra is more anxious than we are now!

The Old Dog said, for the sake of past acquaintance, do something that’ll ease his mind.

Otherwise, he’s afraid those twelve heads might get tangled.”

Edna peeked at the Shadow Energy Core that had been handed over to another Haber and burst into laughter: ”It’s not even over yet, and they’re already here to divide the spoils?

Sanda King Sister, do you think Bane can see what’s happening here?”

The ’Old Age Sanda King’ turned to look at the cautious Toril people standing behind them and nodded his chin: ”Who knows whose eyes are in there! Bane’s people must be there.”

Edna said cheerfully: ”Well, that’s good, we fight our fight, they fight theirs.”

She always felt her adult travels had been altered by those inexplicable deities. Whenever she encountered danger, even with the support of the Undead, she managed to cope. But Edna still felt this wasn’t the life she was meant to endure.

Isn’t a normal mage journey about making new friends along the way and understanding life through evaluating these friends’ good and bad traits? Even if danger arose, it would be due to uncontrollable curiosity or a soft heart.

But now, she hadn’t even traveled a few hundred kilometers before experiencing everything from volcanic eruptions to earth-shattering events. She hadn’t encountered many enemies of her level, yet suddenly she was thrust into encounters with Archmages bearing Divine Artifacts!

Is this a journey or a death trip?

Edna turned to glance at the pulsating deep red flesh strips above the hall and couldn’t help but grit her teeth: Her inheritance was very complete, so she immediately recognized that this hall was clearly prepared for demons.

The fact that the previous transcendent Archmages didn’t summon directly only proved that they lacked sufficient control over this demon. If it weren’t out of sheer necessity, they probably wouldn’t make a move.

But for the Shadow Energy Core to be used again, even if they sacrificed another transcendent’s mana, it would be four hours later. By then, the Undead at the rear should have reached the anxious Hydra!

Edna knew very well that even Elvia couldn’t handle the Haber Mages; how could they possibly deal with that Hydra!

She’s probably about to witness the Great Demon that Haber has raised for thousands of years... As for a Demon Lord, Edna couldn’t conceive that the Dead Moon Magic Orb and the Seat of Sakuxiel would appear within the Haber Family.

Being a young girl’s limited imagination can’t really be blamed. Even Hill, if he wasn’t privy from the start, couldn’t imagine that the incompetently-behaving Haber could possess those elusive Divine Artifacts that only the most cunning could control.

The Shadow Energy Core was already the limit of their imagination... They even mocked Bane’s followers for their oversight.

After all, it was normal for Toril’s Archmages to commit atrocious acts, especially Mage Families... who didn’t consider themselves mere mortals; children who couldn’t become Professionals would be expelled from the family, just the norm for such people.

Otherwise, the Haber Family wouldn’t treat grave robbing and the trade of corpses of all sorts of races as nothing... They seemed tense about the Shadow Energy Core, maybe worried Bane would come knocking.

But they showed no reaction at all to the High Knowledge Stone on their leader’s forehead, even with hundreds of elves standing before them... only proving they’ve done such things too many times already, with not even a tinge of remorse facing victims.

It was only because the Undead were standing in front of them and were unfamiliar with this knowledge that they weren’t already cursing them.

When Leonard arrives, they might finally realize what they’ve exposed.

But those two evil Divine Artifacts... If they appeared on Sel’s Archmage from the Necromancy Sect or Governor Sazzastan of Sel, there would surely be panic, yet at least it’s understandable because that powerful Lich would absolutely gain the acknowledgment of Sorcerer King Lalock.

But Haber? A Haber barely competent in mastering the Ninth Ring Spells?

Their sole family member worth mentioning happens to be that Extraordinary Mage friendly with Kelben and adept in alchemical creation, Marco Haber, doesn’t it?

From Marco willingly becoming a vassal to Kelben, you can tell he has talent but certainly is no genius.

In a world like Toril, where disaster can strike at any moment, one’s abilities cannot be hidden.

If the Haber Family had a powerful Evil Faction Mage, there’s no way no word would have leaked... nor has the omnipresent shadow discovered them, indicating their insignificance.

Hill quietly looked at the leading Old Haber; maybe it’s because of this that he’s gone mad?

In terms of destructiveness, he’s far superior to Marco, who excels more in support.

But reputation-wise... a transcendent without creativity is just a pay-and-send person; who cares?

Of course, he wouldn’t pity this guy, but Hill also reminded himself not to think highly of himself just because of his decent talent!

The universe is vast and boundless; there are people much stronger than him everywhere... Just follow his path, and don’t yearn for others’ sudden earth-shattering feats.

Once the mindset is unbalanced, the once-human, desire-driven Old Habel is a cautionary tale right before his eyes.

Hill blinked, realizing he should actually be grateful for William’s existence.

When he advanced to a Mage, William became Legendary. When he advanced to Legendary, William had already become a Demigod and could ascend to a Deity at any time.

Even as he grew stronger, perhaps because he was suppressed from the very beginning, Hill rarely felt any smug arrogance.

Hill shook his head, dismissing such useless thoughts.

Since he’s already on this one-way path, the best outcome for the Haber family would be to die swiftly... the soul of the leader would probably be directly taken away by Tom for wandering.

He had calmed down a lot from his anger... the actions of the Haber family made him feel they had no chance of survival.

As strong as the Lady of Pain is, she cannot cause trouble in Toril... does she really think AO is a pushover?

Hill truly suspects that these Haber mages have been counter-controlled by that Demon Lord... he genuinely feels their intelligence has dropped to negative levels.

A family that managed to hide so perfectly, and for tens of thousands of years without being caught, even if Deities neglected them due to their conflicts, they still had to be cautious enough.

Now, this Haber family that dared to attack Bane’s followers and steal the Shadow Energy Core—how arrogant they are!

The Tyranny God has always been cautiously guarded against, and being underestimated is likely quite rare.

Hill absolutely doesn’t believe they would have dared such brazen acts in the past, truly thinking Bane’s powerful divine power can be easily fooled?

If he could be deceived with a few tricks from a Mage family, then only Bane wouldn’t have been the one to successfully resurrect among the Three Gods of Death.

Hill couldn’t help but focus his gaze on that Swordsman... Was he a Bane follower cultivated by Rose, or one of Rose’s subordinates influenced by Bane? It should become clear soon.

After all, the slight tremor of those little ears revealed that he clearly understood what the two ladies ahead were discussing.

Hydra’s identity is no secret among followers of Evil Deities.

List appeared beside Hill: ”Lynn has already gone to the Alchemy Hall to announce the High Knowledge Stone regarding the Temporal Artifact, and has also sent a Knight from the Wenjian Clan to inform the nearby Tower of the Dawn.”

Hill nodded: ”That’s good, let Coron and Lansendel handle the matters from here on!”

Though the Haber family committed wrongdoing, Hill understood that to cover up such wickedness, a large number of family members followed Marko to learn legitimate Magic and adhered completely to Kind Alignment rules.

In Toril, regardless if your own parents were Bane and Rose, as long as your actions were kind, you belong to the Kind Alignment.

A White Lotus blooming in the mud, how to handle it is something Hill doesn’t want to involve himself with... he knows it’s not right to implicate innocents, but he entirely wishes to avoid shaking hands with those who enjoyed the nourishment of the mud.

If he were to be like Toril’s Kind Alignment, even having been harmed by the Haber family, yet when witnessing Rose and Bane attacking the innocent Haber family members, still feel obligated to help... Hill genuinely believes he couldn’t do it.

He always considered himself as someone who obeys order, but doesn’t know why he stands firmly with the Neutral Faction... it’s probably because he’s still mindful when facing orders he doesn’t wish to follow.

With a cheer, the magical gates blocking the tunnel were smashed open, the Undead Tribe’s stone platform long repaired, and Knights raised their shields to follow the Hydra barreling forward.

The ’Snow Cloud Peak’ called from behind: ”What’s the rush? Paladins pick up the pace! Want to be wiped out?

Come on, Water Mages, follow! Why is the Sun God’s Priest running so fast?

If you dare to heal Hydra, I’ll post you on the forum, letting everyone see what kind of geniuses shower sunlight and rain upon the Evil Faction!”

Hill actually laughed out loud... his peripheral vision caught the humanoid shadow under the big tree moving involuntarily a few times.

Even Shaer didn’t anticipate that collaborating with the Undead Tribe would entail such a crisis.

Old Habel seemed to sense the Undead Tribe’s movement, and he let out a low growl: ”The Habers’ territory isn’t that easy to traverse!”

He probably didn’t know who that Hydra dashing at the forefront, cloaked in black smoke, was, right?

After all, Hydra was promoted by Shaer to become a Chosen only a few years ago, surely known by Evil Deities, but others may not be as informed.

They are the most adept at keeping secrets among followers of the Dark Night.
