Chapter 68: Fragnt of Eternity
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the center of the disaster, the ruptures had joined as one, forming a giant space hole. Absolute darkness and endless dragging force ca out of the hole. Not a single trace of light could escape from it. The hole was like a starving monster, waiting to devour anything into its magnificent horror.
The fusion between two planes was both good and bad for a world. The outco was unpredictable. Once the fusion began, the world’s consciousness would repair and suppress the affected area. The center of the abnormality was where the world’s consciousness applied most repressing power, so the dragging force was not really strong or dangerous as long as one did not go directly into it.
The newly born ruptures around the edge, however, were extrely dangerous without the consciousness to control them. They would slowly beco suppressed once they fused into the central rupture.
The green man was going right into the area where the new ruptures were appearing. This place was the most dangerous, and at the sa ti, most profitable!
With the vine around his feet, the man did his job smoothly at first.
While avoiding several ruptures, he successfully collected four or five light dots. There were also close calls, but he managed to dodge them all with the vine’s help.
As he grabbed the last light dot and placed it into his bottle carefully, the liquid level finally reached two milliliters.
He sealed the bottle joyfully and ordered the vine to drag him out.
However, sothing went wrong.
A giant rupture appeared surprisingly close. The space ripple imdiately cut the vine in half like the sharpest knife in the world.
“Damn it!” The man kept throwing his spells, hoping to reconnect the vine before it was too late. However, the power of space was not sothing he could resist.
Seeing how the vine completely vanished, a look of panic climbed onto his green, dried face. He took out a wooden wand from his pouch and tapped it in the air. A spell pattern lashed from the wand and created a hexagram. The man tried to use the power of the spell array to get away from the rupturing area.
However, in the next second after the spell hexagram ford in the air, the rupture tore it to pieces. Even the delicate spell wand broke in half.
The man was completely trapped by the space ruptures with nowhere to escape.
An emotion of despair and regret replaced his greed.
He should not have tried to collect that extra Fragnt of Eternity! At the beginning of the plane fusion, the Fragnts of Eternity released by the ruptures were extrely valuable destinies for wizards. However, he could still find opportunities during the middle of the fusion or even after it!
Would he die because of his greed? His face went pale as he watched the rupture slowly dragged him towards the center.
Once he reached the center of the ruptures, the giant shredding force that could break anything apart was more than enough to grind his body into nothingness.
As he lost his hope in despair, an eerie giggle reached his ears.
“Heeheehee. Isn’t that ‘Dryad’ Boko? Coming to the fusion spot so soon? So you want to get the Ferry Worm first? Aiyayaya. Such a greedy man you are.”
Soone is here!
He might have a chance! Boko perked up and looked towards the voice.
A young girl wearing a dark-violet bubble dress was slowly floating down the sky using her beautiful umbrella. The umbrella was elegantly decorated by fairytale patterns. Her bubble dress was being flipped violently by the gale caused by the tornadoes, but strangely, no matter how it moved, the laced underskirt in the middle remained steady, so nothing unpleasant (pleasant?) was revealed.
The woman with an umbrella was Flora who had just left the cloud whale and headed to the center of the thunderclouds.
“Flora the Blood Witch!” Boko’s voice ca through the space ruptures. It was unclear whether he was surprised or happy.
“Co on, it’s not polite to call a lady’s na so boldly.”
Boko had completely no will to tell jokes. His life was on the line and Flora brought him hope!
“Flora! Help !” Boko’s voice sounded distant as he was finally drowned out by the water tornadoes. He was using all of his mana to keep himself steady and could not spare any strength on other spells, so he could only yell as best as he could.
“Help! Help now!”
Flora heard him. She revealed a cunning grin around the corner of her lips.
“As I said, it’s not polite to call a lady like that.”
“Lady! Lady Flora! Help!”
“Hello? What’s that? I—can’t—hear—you!”
Of course, Flora was adept at spells that transferred people’s voice.
Boko beca panicked, “I said help! Help ! Quickly!”
“Oh, you want to help? I thought you ca here because you’re confident. So you went in there by mistake? Aw, poor guy,” Flora comnted nonchalantly, which made Boko furious.
He had to bear with it now!
He struggled to dodge another rupture but his cape was torn to shards.
“Yes! I ca by mistake and is trapped now! Save ! Please! I beg of you!” Boko was never soone who knew pride or ego, so he could ask for help while totally ignoring his image.
Flora had enough fun with her jokes and she said, “That’s no problem. But you know, equivalent exchange? I can save your life, and you gotta pay a good price for it.”
“My life does not have much value!” said Boko. He was serious about that as he said, “A hundred magic crystals?”
“Psh. Seriously?” Flora stood in the air with her umbrella above her head and looked down at Boko.
“Um,” Boko realized his price was too pathetic. He hesitated before saying, “Two hundred?”
Flora only smiled.
“Three—no, five hundred!” Boko showed a painful look on his tree bark face.
Flora heard about how ‘Dryad’ Boko was a an bastard before but she never cared much about it. Now, she was not expecting that she actually t a wizard who was SO stingy.
Seeing how Flora was not reacting at all, Boko could not help getting flustered. He asked, “What do you want then? Like I said, my life isn’t worth anything!”
Flora chuckled. “Give all the Fragnts of Eternity you just gathered, and we have a deal.”
“What?! No! I risked my life for them!”
“You won’t have a life soon,” said Flora. She showed a sympathetic look as she said, “You want to use those fragnts as your grave fodder? Huh. That’s new.”
Those words made Boko struggle in his mind.
Still, like a miser, he felt extrely reluctant about giving his Fragnts of Eternity to soone else.
Flora did not say anything. She just watched as Boko grappled with Death face to face.
“I’ll give you one drop!” Boko’s expression was hard to watch.
No response from Flora. The space rupture turned bigger.
“Two drops? Three!” Boko was almost crying.
Flora gave him a cold look.
As Boko squeezed “eighty percent for you, four drops for ” between his teeth, Flora still kept her sweet smile without speaking anything.
“Good. Eighty percent, in exchange for your life,” A raucous male voice reached Boko’s eardrums.
Flora looked at the newcor and curled her lips. “Aww teacher. He was going to give all of them, why do you interrupt?”
It was Sunders. He whispered to Flora, “I have sensed Lady Danae’s aura. She’s trying to locate here from afar.”
If Lady Danae was here, they would not get a single drop of the fragnts, let alone eighty percent. That was why Sunders chose such timing to show up.
