The subsequent explosion engulfed everything, and the wizards outside did not witness what followed.
If Romans Soul could escape, there would still be hope for a resurgence, as the saying goes, "Primordial souls do not perish, nor do wizards."
However, if the primordial soul were shattered as well, leading to death and the end of his path, Roman would only be able to enter the Underworld as a spirit, to start a new cycle of reincarnation.
Even if there was a next life, it would no longer be Roman, but a new individual.
And high above in the sky, looking down upon the teeming masses, was one of the nine giant cities—Noen City.
In front of a conference table, projections of powerful primordial soul wizards converged for a eting.
They all looked solemn, so even angry and sorrowful.
One of the imposing eighth-circle wizards spoke:
"The soul token has shattered, Roman has fallen."
The other primordial soul wizards were silent for a mont before speaking:
"We’ve lost, completely lost, and to think we were defeated by a rank five Dragon Abomination, utterly ridiculous..."
"Why is our school’s luck so abysmal? Even though we were the most prepared, we have been far ahead in performance over these sixty years."
"Roman is dead, and I don’t want to be too harsh on him. In any case, I’m not satisfied with his performance in the ancient tower."
"Rust and Blue Leopard could have taken action sooner to save Roman. Instead, they just watched Roman self-destruct his Soul Artifact and only intervened after both parties were severely injured... They preach great wisdom and righteousness but are full of sches and lack any sense of duty towards the great wizard civilization!"
"We can’t bla them, though. So of Roman’s previous decisions were too domineering, and he angered many... Besides, given they’re our competitors, the extent to which they went is already admirable."
"It’s too late to say anything now, the most important thing is to figure out how to mitigate our losses."
"How can we recover? The ones who killed Roman were Queen Banyan and the Three-Headed Dragon Abomination... once the ancient tower closes, they’ll just run back to the Dragon Abomination plane and be protected by the Dragon Abomination Venerable. Are we supposed to start a war with a level-10 being over such trivial matters on behalf of the Wizard Council?"
"Of course not, but the true identity of this Three-Headed Dragon Abomination is questionable, it may not be a Dragon Abomination at all... Perhaps it’s from another alien race, or even a wizard in disguise. We could only see a projection from the outside of the ancient tower and couldn’t make out anything, hence we were misled by this person, thinking he was Dragon Abomination."
"But even if he is a wizard... once he returns to the Wizard World and undergoes a disguise, with the world being so vast, how will we ever find him?"
For a while, the primordial soul wizards fell silent.
"Losing those resources is irrelevant, even the loss of the War Treasure is bearable with our strength. The problem is, this war has obliterated the prestige of our Nine Cities Alliance. We have utterly disgraced Great Council President Amon... sigh, now we just wait for the accountability."
"The Sky Fire Fortress was a War Treasure created with great effort, its value cannot be compared to that of an ordinary level 7 treasure. I rember when it was crafted, it was imbued with a variety of complex tracking marks—can we track the Dragon Abomination using these?"
"It’s useless, the Dragon Abomination seems to have acquired a Space Treasure capable of creating its own plane. As long as he keeps the treasure within that Space Treasure, our tracking thods are entirely ineffective. However, if he dares to use it, provided it’s within the Nora plane or the human realm, even in the sub-dinsional portal, we’ll be able to locate his coordinates. At that point, we can send a few primordial souls to capture him."
"Ah, our losses are trendous, and we will certainly face the brunt of public opinion... those low-level nomadic wizards will have sothing to criticize."
"Let them criticize, at that ti we can find the closest cri in legal terms, catch a few examples, and make an example of them to silence the rest. It won’t take a thousand years, or even a hundred years, for today’s events to be forgotten."
...
The Sleeping Dragon Realm.
The dragon descendant wizards felt their blood boil seeing Rust Senior from the priory kill General Sulca and save nearly a thousand wizards.
"Do you see? That’s called having a grand vision. Those people from the Nine Cities Alliance should really take note!"
"After this battle, our dragon descendant priory’s reputation will rise even higher."
"Good riddance to Roman, how could anyone be so shaless. Well done, big brother Dragon Abomination!"
"Be careful with your words, just feel relieved in your heart."
"By the way, the Dragon Abomination and that giant tree make quite the peculiar pair. Could this also be a forbidden love story? Dragons and trees, they can’t possibly produce offspring, can they?"
"That should be impossible. I’ve never heard of any plant with the Dragon Clan’s bloodline... but who knows, this giant tree is no ordinary plant but a genuine level six expert."
"This opening of the ancient tower has seen all the glory taken by that Dragon Abomination... he really has solidified the title of the strongest being below the primordial soul. To kill a Sixth-Circle Wizard before countless life forms, such an event is rare to witness in ten thousand years."
"Strictly speaking, he just utilized the power of a rare treasure;
it’s not like he killed on his own strength."
"Even so, it’s impressive. If it were , I wouldn’t have the courage and determination to strike at a primordial soul wizard. Daring to face the might of a primordial soul, even though he is from another race, I am willing to call him... a true brave warrior!"
...
The Endless Sea.
Star Sea.
Green Forest Island.
This is the base for the Fourth-Circle Wizard organization Lush Forest Tower.
In theory, such a level of organization, situated in the highly competitive Star Sea, would struggle to survive.
