Chapter 231: The secret world is open

Day of the Total Massacre!

The sky was covered by heavy gray clouds.

From time to time, the masses of clouds slowly drifted, causing the faint sunlight to disappear for a few moments. The entire landscape seemed to be immersed in a kind of perpetual twilight.

The wind swept across the open field, making the wild grasses sway in waves.

All around me, dozens upon dozens of acolytes wearing white or green robes had gathered. Some spoke quietly among themselves. Others remained completely silent.

Some had empty eyes, as if they had already accepted that they might never return from this place. Others wore fierce expressions, trying to hide their fear behind an aggressive appearance.

In front of us, several Official Mages were scattered throughout the area.

At the very front stood a huge man.

He wore a white robe decorated with green patterns that resembled leaves intertwined throughout the fabric. His body remained completely motionless, but extremely subtle strands of energy constantly spread out from him and permeated the surroundings.

Whenever these waves of energy passed through my body, the circulation of my magical power slowed down slightly.

This man is definitely Charny, the president of Arcangrove Tower. He is a Level 2 Mage.

A true high-level Official Mage.

I immediately lowered my head. I did not even consider using the Biochip to examine him.

If the Biochip still had difficulty penetrating the defensive barriers of a Level 1 Mage, trying to directly analyze a Level 2 Mage would simply be a waste of time.

I discreetly looked around.

So… this is where they are going to activate the secret world?

The place seemed completely abandoned.

Even small rodents and lizards seemed to have fled the region, probably instinctively sensing that something terrible was about to happen.

I took a deep breath and began searching for familiar faces. It did not take long for me to find Lina, Chory, and Nyssa, who remained a little farther away, practically hidden beneath her robes.

I also found Kalikol, Toral, and Ruby.

Farther away, I recognized Mork and Myla, the couple who had gotten together years ago, when I had first gone to the Tower’s arena to gamble and make money.

Toral was near the front of the crowd.

His face was extremely grim.

The dark circles around his eyes were deep, and his expression made it clear that he was not in the best condition.

As for Lina and Chory, the two were speaking quietly. After a few minutes, Lina noticed my presence. She turned her head, and when our eyes met, she gave me a small smile.

I smiled back.

Lina possesses some of the attack items I gave her. Furthermore, she is not considered an important target.

As long as she does not encounter an extremely powerful opponent, she should probably be able to survive.

—They’re here!

Someone’s voice cut through my thoughts.

The entire atmosphere changed.

Hundreds of acolytes raised their heads at the same time.

A small black spot had appeared in the distance.

At first, it looked like nothing more than a dot in the sky.

But it was approaching.

And the closer it came, the larger it became.

My gaze narrowed.

The black spot continued to grow until I could finally see its true form.

It was a gigantic creature. Its body seemed to stretch for dozens of meters, and each segment of its enormous body appeared to possess enough strength to crush a building.

At the top of its head was a pair of compound eyes.

They scanned the crowd below.

[Energy signal detected.]

[The target possesses a powerful defensive barrier.]

[Preliminary classification: Level 1 Official Mage.]

[Recommendation: maintain your distance.]

My heart tightened.

A slave creature with strength equivalent to that of an Official Mage?

—Ssssss…

The snake opened its mouth.

Several drops of greenish-yellow saliva dripped from its fangs.

Psssss!

When the saliva struck the ground, a small patch of earth immediately began to smoke.

The corrosion rapidly spread, and several acolytes took a few steps backward.

—What are you afraid of?

A cold voice came from the front.

—It’s only a support slave snake!

The reprimand caused the acolytes to regain some of their composure.

Then I heard a burst of laughter.

—Charny!

—Your acolytes were actually frightened by my baby!

—It seems the situation of your Arcangrove Tower is even worse than I imagined!

A middle-aged man jumped down from the creature’s back.

His eyebrows were as white as snow.

My gaze immediately focused on him.

This must be Hector, the president of Black Bull Tower.

The next moment, I felt an extremely subtle wave of energy.

It had originated from Charny’s body.

The energy crossed the space and struck the snake.

—Wu!

—Argh!

Several screams came from behind the creature.

They sounded like young voices.

Hector’s expression immediately changed.

—Charny! You…

His eyebrows changed color and turned reddish.

Charny simply took a step forward.

—What is it?

His voice was extremely calm.

But there was an invisible pressure behind that simple sentence.

I silently observed the two of them. I could not even imagine what would happen if those two actually started fighting.

Suddenly, a different sound came from the sky.

Whoosh!

I turned my head.

A huge carriage appeared on the horizon.

It was several meters long, and two enormous white wings were attached to its sides. Several griffin-like creatures were pulling it through the sky.

The carriage slowly descended.

Bang!

When it touched the ground, the door opened.

A golden-haired woman wearing a black robe stepped out.

—Hector, stop!

—Don’t forget that we signed an agreement!

The president of Black Bull Tower snorted.

Charny also stepped back.

The woman then turned around.

Several acolytes began emerging from the carriage behind her.

My expression became serious.

The energy waves emanating from those young people were much stronger than those of ordinary acolytes.

Hector smiled.

—I hope your acolytes can survive, Charny.

—Don’t let your Tower turn into a true graveyard.

Behind him, the gigantic snake slowly lowered its head.

Its body formed a kind of living staircase, and several acolytes began climbing down.

I carefully observed them.

Most of them are Level 3. There are also some Level 2 acolytes, but almost no Level 1 acolytes.

The two Towers had managed to select their combatants.

Arcangrove Tower did not have that luxury.

Because of our current situation, practically every available acolyte would be sent.

I looked at some of the young people around me. Some were only eleven or twelve years old. And they were being sent into a battle to the death.

After this mandatory recruitment, Arcangrove Tower would definitely suffer terrible losses.

—Biochip, start recording.

[Command received.]

I began carefully observing the acolytes carrying magical artifacts.

It did not matter which side they belonged to.

If they possessed equipment capable of significantly altering the course of a battle, I needed to know about it. Those were the true dangers.

As I watched, Charny finally raised his hand.

—Enough talking. Let’s begin.

Hector and the golden-haired woman exchanged glances.

—Since you are being so sincere, we could hardly refuse.

The Official Mages stepped forward.

They began taking strange objects from their bags, clothes, and even hidden compartments within their own bodies.

Then they began assembling a formation on the ground, using stabilization runes… energy connection… conduction…

After some time, a huge magical formation finally took shape.

The three presidents stepped forward. Each of them took out three crimson-colored scrolls and began chanting simultaneously.

The voices of the three Mages merged together, and then they tore the scrolls apart.

BOOM!

Crimson lightning exploded across the sky, and a huge opening appeared in the void.

Dozens of meters above us, space seemed to have been torn apart.

After a few seconds, everything became silent.

One of the leaders raised his hand.

—This is a secret world that previously served as a resource point.

—All valuable organisms and resources have already been removed.

—From now on, it will be your battlefield.

I looked at the opening and found it particularly interesting.

Suddenly, I sensed something, and my body became rigid.

I slowly turned my head and met Magaly’s eyes.

She was among the enemy acolytes. My mind immediately went back a few years—she was that powerful acolyte who tried to hunt me down after I raped her Lolita sister.

Magaly’s skin still had that beautiful chocolate tone that I remembered so well. Her blue eyes were fixed on me, and now, after my partial transformation, her white hair was exactly the same color as mine.

But she was not happy to see me. Her blue eyes were filled with endless fury, creating a ripple of bloodlust in the air that could be felt from a considerable distance.

For some reason, I could not help but smile.

I discreetly raised my hand.

Then I formed a small heart with my fingers.

A small heart-shaped projection appeared in front of me and slowly floated toward her.

Magaly’s eyes widened.

For a few seconds, she simply stood there motionless.

Then her face began to turn red, and she nearly exploded and charged toward me like a vampire thirsty for blood.

Several acolytes near her noticed the situation.

One of them looked at me, then at Magaly, and took two steps away from her.

Another simply turned his head, pretending he had seen nothing.

I can’t deny it, but I’d love to fuck that chocolate-colored MILF’s pussy with my white cock. I think I’d force her to have my kids as punishment for being so hot and dangerous. Besides, a woman with a body as lustful as that must surely be a perfect baby-making machine….
