Floco knew that Saul deliberately sending him up meant he wanted to conduct some private experiments. He didnât expose this and turned to talk with Byron, who was sitting in the crude laboratory with a serious expression still studying his notes.
âThis Chaos Realmâis it the continent that was devoured by the Abyssal Eye?â
Byron shook his head and honestly answered, âI donât know.â
Floco sighed.
He just felt that the nearly magic-free environment here, combined with the inertized pollution sources overflowing from the earth, couldnât help but remind him of a certain continent that had already disappeared from the wizard world.
If he hadnât been sealed in the deep sea before, forced to remain here, he probably wouldnât know that this world had become like this.
But thinking carefully, in the vast universe, how many worlds completely perish in silence?
Byron saw Flocoâs contemplative appearance and suddenly felt this strange mermaid had gained some sense of reality.
He walked over and asked Floco for guidance. âLord Floco, I still want to ask youâhow should I utilize the elven clanâs mental power?â
Mentioning elves, Floco also lost the mood to continue lamenting and said with a smile, âI can teach you, but you also need to provide something in return.â
Byron nodded. âThatâs appropriate. What do you need?â
âAfter you can actively extract elven mental power, I want a portion too.â
Byron said very seriously, âI have no problem with that, but arenât you afraid of pollution?â
Floco chuckled lightly. âI can even break through stargatesâwould I fear elves stuck in world barriers?â
This statement had some boastful elements.
If it were his peak strength period before, he indeed wouldnât be afraid, but now⊠he only dared to want a small portion.
After all, the Water Godâs current state wasnât much better than the elvesâ.
However, to quickly recover strength and leave before this world was swallowed by the Abyssal Eye, he still needed to take some risks.
Saul probably wasnât yet clear that this former fifth-rank he had rescued with the Symphony of Fate wasnât optimistic about this worldâs future.
But even if Saul knew, he wouldnât regret rescuing this former fifth-rank.
Besides helping Saul escape from Ophelia, he was also a good candidate who could provide considerable fate power.
Byron didnât know that Floco before him was a former fifth-rank, but from information received from Saul, he knew the person before him was at least equivalent to a third-rank wizard.
Otherwise, ordinary wizards wouldnât even know the concept of stargates.
âThen⊠deal.â
Although guessing the other party was at least third-rank, Byron spoke in the same manner as usual.
While Floco was teaching Byron knowledge about stabilizing spiritual bodies and using mental power, the ground suddenly shook.
The two immediately stopped communicating and left the crude laboratory.
The Chaos Realm lacked elemental particles. If unnecessary, Byron wouldnât waste his magical power.
And Floco even less soâhe was currently using just an ordinary mermaidâs body and had nothing to use even if he wanted to.
The two ran out of the laboratory, wanting to see what had happened and also fearing the laboratory would collapse and bury them.
Fortunately they ran out. Just as they stepped onto the black desert, a massive depression appeared not far from the laboratory.
Black sand and stones cascaded down along the depression, then the center suddenly bulged into a mound.
The mound grew larger and larger, with sand falling from it like a waterfall.
As time passed, the entity beneath the mound gradually revealed its true form.
It was a massive lizard skeleton with a pair of white bone wings attached.
Black sand and stones fell from the white skeleton, stirring up gray-black dust.
For a moment, black and white intertwined with magnificent momentum, giving the sense of a big boss making an entranceâjust missing background music.
When the bone monster co mpletely broke free from the black desert, Byron and Floco, who were looking up, saw a black figure in front of the monsterâs bone wings.
The figure was entirely wrapped in a black cloak, even wearing a black mask with a metallic luster on his face.
He rode the massive bone lizard with a steady posture, completely unconcerned about the fierce monster beneath him.
Although his appearance couldnât be seen clearly, the magical fluctuations emanating from him were very familiar.
Byron raised his hand to shade his eyes. âWhere did Saul go?â
Floco stared blankly at the bone monster that suddenly took off and disappeared into the sunlight. âThis guyâs mental power is somewhat abnormal!â
Byron nodded very agreeably beside him. âYesâŠâ
Floco looked at Byron speechlessly, very much doubting that this guy completely didnât understand why he called it abnormal.
But who told this straightforward fellow to have a world of elves behind him!
Floco flicked Byron with his tail. âLetâs go back and continue. Oh, and get me a tank of water.â
âŠ
Saul transformed into a black skeleton, riding the massive bone lizard and soaring through the high sky.
Although he could also fly himself, even faster than the bone monster beneath him, the feeling was different.
Riding this bone monster didnât require Saul to consume magical power. Moreover, the bone lizard plus a pair of bone wings looked just like a bone dragon!
Dragon Knight!
Saul patted the bone monster beneath him. The other party could only execute simple commands.
Perhaps because Saul could transmit some complex information through mental power, the bone lizard directly treated Saul as a high-rank undead and began following Saulâs commands without resistance.
It just truly had no brains. Saul told it to follow the passage and emerge from underground, but the bone lizard instead took off right where it was, almost overturning the crude laboratory above.
Fortunately, the general direction was correct.
Saul glanced at the two people on the ground, released magical fluctuations to reassure them, then rode the bone lizard toward the Boulder Tribe where Noah was located.
During flight, cold wind howled.
Saul looked at the bone monster beneath him, feeling it was much more impressive than riding the giant bird Diu Diu.
The giant bird Diu Diu was a mount Peiâer had given Saul, with an image leaning more toward cute.
But this bone lizard was differentâwhether its massive size or flying posture, everything was incredibly cool.
âFrom now on, Iâll call you⊠Bone Flying Lizard.â Saul casually gave it a name.
The Bone Flying Lizard had no reaction, unclear whether it accepted this name or simply didnât understand.
After flying for over an hour, Saul saw the Boulder Tribe stationed at the edge of the black desert.
In just half a year, under Noahâs strong leadership and with resource supply from Byron and Keli, the Boulder Tribe had evolved from a small semi-underground tribe into a town of considerable scale.
Stone walls were built around the city perimeter, with bows, arrows, and giant slingshots on top.
The city center had small housesâthough arranged chaotically without planning, there were at least several hundred, looking quite spectacular.
In the very center of the city stood a crude tower nearly ten meters tall.
From its appearance, it seemed to be imitating a wizard tower.
Without thinking, Noah must be here. Saul had the Bone Flying Lizard land on flat ground outside the city.
He didnât dare let the Bone Flying Lizard land inside the cityâif the brakes failed, Noahâs crude town built with great effort over half a year would truly return to pre-liberation times overnight.
