Boundless darkness, a mix of cold and heat, tornted Green’s nerves.
Exhaustion and fatigue, even blinking was impossible, but Green knew he couldn’t continue like this.
Amidst the suffocating pressure, Green desperately tried to inhale as much air into his lungs and then forcefully expel it out.
"Get up, you can’t continue like this!"
"Open your eyes, quickly open..."
...
After a long period of darkness, it felt like a forgotten dream. When the first ray of light shone into Green’s eyes, it seed to signify hope; his two-colored pupils shrank unconsciously to a pinpoint.
"I... how long was I unconscious?"
The first thing Green saw upon waking was Xiao Ba and Leafy standing to his left and right, and Lulianmian wiping sweat for him. Weak and powerless, Green instinctively inquired about the situation.
"Green, you’re awake!"
Lulianmian murmured joyfully, then hurriedly helped Green lean against the soft pillow on the bed, whispering, "You have been in a coma for ninety-five days."
"Ninety-five days!"
Green asked again, "How’s the battle, did we win the war?"
Then, feeling the surrounding rich radiated world rules, Green shook his head foolishly, wondering what kind of nonsense he was saying.
If it had failed, I wouldn’t be waking up now, would I?
"Of course we won! We achieved a great victory. Not only did we successfully destroy the space-based annihilation starship, but under the pursuit of the massive Wizard Legion led by the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizard, we also killed the tal Destroyer, leaving a vast Ruler Crater on the central continent. Rumor has it that the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizard has sealed all remaining tal Fire Seeds, and in this civilizational war, the tal Destroyer civilization will no longer see any tal Fire Seeds!"
A series of good news made the just-awakened Green sowhat unresponsive.
It was as if with a blink of an eye, the whole world’s situation had reversed, making it hard to accept.
"Victory, victory, victory..."
Green repeatedly murmured to himself, feeling imnse regret for not being able to last until the end to witness that most glorious mont despite such a great victory.
Victory was not just due to those ultimate witnessing sorcerers, and those thousands of sorcerers who fell for the Wizard’s Will, but also countless Stigmata Sorcerers like Green and Three-Winds Gather Top, who survived by sheer luck but couldn’t leave the final glory, remaining as silent contributors in the historical painting.
Suddenly, Green felt a strange atmosphere around him. Surprised, he finally noticed Xiao Ba’s face, dark enough to drip water, and the shy Leafy beside him.
"Uh..."
Xiao Ba directly interrupted Green’s words.
"To be exact, you’ve been unconscious for eleven hundred and fifty Hourglasses, and during that ti, you called Leafy ninety-nine thousand seven hundred and twenty-one tis, but only called Laphie three tis. You’ve almost forgotten Laphie!"
Beside him, Leafy shyly said, "Xiao Ba, don’t be angry. Beautiful things are always loved by more people. Alas... it’s all my fault, being so beautifully outstanding. Not only you and Sister Lian like it, but even Green secretly likes so much. Alas... won have to be kinder to themselves, always keeping their beauty."
As she spoke, Leafy looked at Green apologetically.
"Green, although you like , I also admire your scholarly talents, but I already have Xiao Ba, so we can only be friends. I’m sorry, you’re a good person, don’t be sad..."
Green opened his mouth, and after a while, managed to say, "I’m not sad."
"You still say you’re not sad, not knowing what to say. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, Green, don’t take it too hard!"
Leafy’s apologies grew even stronger.
"I won’t take it too hard..."
Green replied with a headache.
"Ah! Green, don’t do anything stupid, we can still be friends, how about this, you can..."
What’s going on here?
...
Years later.
Crunch, crunch, crunch...
The Mountain Savage Strongman had a leopard-patterned animal hide tied to his waist, with two huge Bells clanging incessantly, chewing on the Philosopher’s Stone with a "crunch," "crunch" sound, gazing at the vast chaos of rules at the crater before him, murmuring in a low tone.
"The arrival of the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizard, destroying a tal Destroyer, an indeed shocking piece of good news. But... the civilizational war has beco increasingly intense and frequent."
With a sigh, the Mountain Savage Strongman walked on the thick land of the radiated world. Every step seed so heavy, yet like Elental Teleport, one step was still thousands of ters away, and the next step was right in front of him, then disappearing beyond the horizon.
...
Deep within the Moonlake Base, in the Ti-space Sealing Hall, three figures stood.
One was shrouded in Seven-Colored Runes, leaning on the extre abyss magic staff, the three-colored light eyes on his mask blinking constantly, infinitely mysterious.
The other two, one with a leopard-patterned leather skirt around his waist, shirtless with skin like granite, and the last with a stranger’s face, sunken eye sockets with murky green eyes, was a Curse Wizard, holding a toad covered in poisonous lumps "gurgling" noisily.
"Humph, this Stigmata Sorcerer of the Oblivion Tower, your state doesn’t seem so good? I hear this journey to the Ruins World isn’t simple, don’t let your condition lead to an accident."
The Poisontongue Curse Sorcerer spoke in a low, hoarse voice, with so tremor, seemingly hinting at a hidden smile.
Unlike his ancient appearance, his inner Soul Fire burned incredibly vigorously.
"Caw caw caw, don’t overestimate yourself, caw caw, my young master can beat you with half his strength, just manage yourself well."
On Green’s shoulder, Xiao Ba grumbled unhappily.
Ignoring the Poisontongue Stigmata Sorcerer, Green, slightly weary, looked at the Mountain Savage Strongman with his three-colored light eyes, coughed slightly "cough cough cough," and said in a low tone, "Wanse Simour couldn’t make it. A few years ago, he was assigned a secret mission to infiltrate the space-based annihilation starship and didn’t co back."
"Yes, the Fire Traveling Sword leveled up to the Sixth Level Biomass in the Abyssal Underworld and was sent to fight in the boiling world."
After pausing, the Mountain Savage Strongman continued, "The Catastrophe Disastrous received a special mission from the Three Rings True Spirit Wizard and was temporarily reassigned, so we might be one person short for this mission. Well, that ans a bigger share of the mission reward for us."
Whoosh!
As the last person entered the Ti-space Sealing Hall, Green looked over, astonished, and said, "It’s him?"
This person turned out to be Xivilnis the Overmagic Hand!
Seeing Green, Xivilnis also appeared surprised for a mont; the two nodded to each other, briefly introduced themselves, and soon, the Moonlake of True Spirit Sorcerer Will descended montarily through a chanical puppet.
Task: Explore the Ruins World and gather information.
Task Reward: Three kilograms of Philosopher’s Stone, with an additional reward of one kilogram, a total of four kilograms.
Just an exploration mission was equivalent to twice the reward of a previous annihilation mission!
