Chapter 194: 008: Enter the Battlefield
Above the sky, a dialogue among the elites.
The Dawn Wizard Aizer greeted, âLong time no see, Erodion. However, as a junior, you should come over and pay your respects first.â
Erodion replied blandly, âDo you think this is some Elder Council of a family? Still playing those seniority games. This is the world of wizards, where strength speaks louder than words.â
âHa!â
A cold laugh rang out. It came from Antonio, the Master of Star Dust, who said sarcastically, âI never thought someone like you, from a fallen family, not even a direct descendant, a Muggle, could have the fortune to stand here and talk to us one day.â
Margaret chipped in, âThis is how it looks when a commoner seizes high rank. Their minds are full of flaunting their newfound identity and status, eager to cut ties with their former self. A few generations for a rare chanceâjust pity him for a moment.â
In the shadows, it was glaringly evident that the three were targeting Erodion.
Erodionâs patience was wearing thin, his brows furrowed, âDid the three of you come here today just to pick a fight?â
âNo!â
Margaret twirled her hair, shook her head, and said, âWeâre simply displeased with you, so we threw some shade. As for fighting⊠we all know none of us can truly overwhelm the others. Itâs meaningless to start a fight.â
âEnough!â Aizer took over the conversation, âItâs rare to meet like thisânot to argue, but to handle some business.â
The disputes in the sky temporarily came to an end.
The four Third Rings took their respective Second Ranks from their Wizard Organizations and flew to the four corners of the square. Standing their ground, they spread out and each brought out their magic wands and witchcraft.
âLetâs begin.â
The wizards exchanged glances, then unanimously began chanting spells.
At the same time, in the center of the square, a large magic array slowly lit up. The space within the array began to ripple, visibly distorting and vibrating, and started to spin gradually.
In the blink of an eye, an elliptical vortex over 100 meters in diameter and over 200 meters in height appeared in the middle of the square.
Meanwhile, a loud and clear voice resounded across the square:
âAll apprentices, immediately enter the Blood Moon Battlefield and commence this yearâs Blood Moon War!â
âAll apprentices, immediately enter the Blood Moon Battlefield and commence this yearâs Blood Moon War!â
The square, previously tranquil, burst into motion.
âItâs happening now!â
âOh my gods, are we really heading in?â
âIâm not ready yetâŠâ
âHaha, I canât wait for this!â
Nerves, unease, excitement, and eagernessâapprentices carried a myriad of complex emotions as they stepped toward the vortex.
The vortex seemed to have an infinite suction force; as apprentices approached, they were pulled in, the surface rippling slightly before they disappeared.
âAlright, everyoneâtake care out there.â
Lynch bid farewell to his familiar companions.
He intended to approach Avery to exchange parting words too, but as he neared her, he noticed Avery surrounded by admirers and completely ignoring him. Seeing this, he said nothing more and turned to walk toward the vortex, quickly entering it.
Meanwhile, Avery had been watching Lynch closely. Seeing him approach earlier had eased her simmering anger somewhatâthinking that at least he finally understood some human decency.
She had planned to utter a few polite words and let it slide. But before she could, he turned around and leftâŠ
âYou just wait!â
With clenched silver teeth, Avery shoved through the crowd and darted straight into the vortex.
âŠ
A peculiar sense of distortion hit, as if the entire body was twisting.
At first, Lynchâs vision blurred, and when it cleared again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.
This was a forest.
Lush greenery and flourishing lifeâthe vibrant grassland was dotted with colorfully blooming flowers, while the gentle sound of trickling streams reached his ears. It resembled an ordinary forest.
However, the sky here was riddled with cracks, like shattered glass. Through these fissures, one could vaguely see three suns: one large and two smallâa truly surreal scene.
Lynch marveled, âSo, this is Dimension World?â
In the Main Material Plane, hidden beneath its surface were numerous secondary worlds, many with their own independent ecosystems. Such worlds were known as Dimension Worlds.
The Blood Moon Battlefield was situated within one such Dimension World.
âSuch dense elements! Itâs just as the rumors sayâa place like this greatly enhances cultivation efficiency, let alone other tasksâŠâ
The abundance of elements here was utterly astonishing. Lynch even felt he could absorb them just by breathing. He extended his hand casually into the air, and a visible cluster of elements gathered in his palm.
Lynch couldnât help but exclaim in awe, âWow, no wonder this is a prized land of the Wizard Families! What an amazing place!â
The Blood Moon Battlefield, this small world, was a secret realm collectively managed by ten Great Wizard Families. It served various purposes like cultivating materials, breeding specific demons, conducting experiments, and cultivating magic. Only purebloods with special approval could enter.
âIâd better make my way to the safe zone first.â
Shaking his head, Lynch retrieved a sheepskin scroll from his space pocket. It was the map of the Blood Moon Battlefield, distributed to all apprentices before entering the realm.
On the map, certain areas marked in white represented safe zones.
One rule of the Blood Moon Battlefield was that no warfare could occur within safe zones. Apprentices unwilling to participate in the war could stay in these areas indefinitely.
Of course, such apprentices were considered to have forfeited their choices. The fate of chaos or order in the world would then be left in the hands of others.
âTwo hundred miles⊠quite a distanceâŠâ
Glancing at the map, Lynch noted that the nearest safe zone was over 200 miles away from his current location. There was no choice; apprenticesâ entry points were random upon entering the battlefieldâit all depended on luck.
Covering such a distance wasnât feasible on footâwalking that far would take an eternity.
âParker!â
He called softly, and soon, his cloakâs sleeve ruffled as Parker emerged from the Dragon Nest, affectionately jumping onto his shoulder like a playful pup, licking his cheek.
âAlright, alright.â
Lynch played with it for a moment before pulling out a frog leg to feed it, finally calming it down.
He then ordered, âShow me your true skills. Itâs time to move.â
Parker understood, leaping to the ground and flapping its wings.
Then came the moment to witness a miracleâŠ
