Chapter 856: Proving

(Unedited)

…

It has been many days since the flying ship has arrived in Central Town but the mage towers inside of it were all quiet. They have seen the changes in the town and many of them did not like it especially the archmages.

The reason for this is simple… the mages hold great power in the town. But with the presence of the new weapons that the town head has acquired their hidden threat and rule has been thwarted by Groom Xial.

So many of them are truly not contented with the result. Plus a lot of the mages from those towers are eyeing the magical weapons, armors, talisman, and magical objects that the Mystique Shop is producing.

For some reason, they are unable to fully understand the runes on those objects even after obtaining them secretly.

With the comprehensible training program that Shin Jiao provides for the mages in his shop, no one could dream of learning the runes. This is because those runes are not just simple runes that can be found anywhere. They are runes he learned from the deities themselves and are considered divine runes and glyphs.

Inside a 5-story tall mage tower, three men are seated around a table with moving images on display. The images are the people moving roundabout on the deck of the new flying ship that Shin Jiao has created.

"This is going to be a real threat to us mages. I would like to propose that we should ally ourselves with the dark ones to eliminate this threat." An old man wearing a white robe said while caressing his beard.

The two old men wearing blue and green robes did not say anything while in deep contemplation.

"They have been in town for more than a week now, and all they brought is peace and laughter in Central Town, why would we act against them?" the old man in green said with a slight smile on his face.

In fact, this old man in green is greatly interested in the new things that he found in the town. The magic light bulbs, the magic batteries in particular, and the thing called the radio.

"Haha… Old fool, do you think they have no other plans? Look at their numbers! They are slowly increasing. I heard a report that a large number of slaves of that fellow named Link Barret who suddenly vanished along with his men is missing. Now that I am looking at those people I think they are the ones who are responsible." The old man in white said with anger on his face.

"To kill off one of the citizens of the town is a great offense to the god of light Agus. We must eliminate their threat before it's too late." The man in white robe said as he smacks the armrest of his chair.

"Osborne Locke! You and your schemes do you think the two of us are fools?" suddenly the old man in blue robe shouted while glaring at the one in a white robe.

Osborne Locke was a bit taken aback as he did not expect that he would be contradicted by the old man in blue.

"Haha… Lin Qiong, you are truly an old fool. Can't you see what's in front of you? Their number is growing. With their powerful force, they can easily defeat any of the mage towers. Plus that large ship, that is a great threat against us. We should capture it… if we can study that thing, then we can…"

"Hahaha… So that is your purpose… Why did you not say it outright and beats around the bush?" the old man in green chuckled while he grabs the cup of tea on the table.

"Damn, Sullivan Green… You dare mock me again?" Osborne Locke is a bit annoyed at these two old people.

The two old men began to bicker against each other which left the blue-robed old man to contemplate deeply. After a while of listening, Lin Qiong lifted his gaze and waves his hand in the air.

"I wanted to see their strength first before making a move." Lin Qiong said as another image appears on the table.

This time the image shows a dark place with many stalagmites. In that dark place, a tall figure sat in a meditating posture which slowly opens his red glowing eyes.

"Master Lin, how may I be of service?" he asked in reverence.

Lin Qiong nodded his head then look at the two old men who stopped and watch the scene in front of them.

"You've heard of the Mystique Shop and the flying ship, right?" Lin Qiong asked.

"Yes master, I have heard of them in the town and also seen that flying ship when it passed by my lair."

"Good, I want you to test out their strength no frontal confrontation… Just probe their capability…"

"Umm… Master… The thief grotto near my lair has been wiped out a few nights ago. It is the work of the people from that place; I saw it with my own eyes…"

"What? I thought it was the town head and the soldiers who did that?"

"They did, but the one who planned everything are two people. The others just followed…"

After hearing this piece of news, the three old men contemplated a bit.

"In any case, we still have to probe them. I can feel that they are the ones responsible for killing Elder Gima Santon and that young lad Emil Vanatia who visited Jixinyo village." Osborne Locke suddenly said.

This caught the attention of the two old men.

"That's right, I forgot about that incident. We have been searching for the culprits who dare to kill our fellow disciple. If they are those people then we cannot let them off. Our teacher told us to hunt those guys, right?" Suddenly Sullivan Green said as his stance suddenly changes.

Now that he remembers it, everything is in a different story now.

The incident in the Jixinyo village is only known to a few because of the scary power that the mysterious people showed that night.

However, it still did not escape the ears of these three old men due to their connection. And of course, this is just their speculation as in that incident even after their teacher acted; he is even unable to retrieve that memory because the mana crystal was taken away.

"You two can do whatever you want. I am not a disciple of Grand Magus Xin Xiaoyo…" Lin Qiong said as he stood up from his seat.

He has already conveyed his command and he did not want to intervene with this matter any longer.

…

Meanwhile, inside a cave, a tall figure clad in a black cloak is still sitting as the image in front of him disappears. A slight glint of interest passes through his eyes in an instant and a slight crafty smile appears on his face showing two pairs of sharp fangs.

"It's been a long time since they commanded me to act… Hehe… This would be a blood bath." The figure said as he slowly increases the energy in his body making him reach the peak of his power.

Then the cave suddenly emits a powerful and oppressing aura that can be felt even from kilometers away.

The man has reached the peak of the Archmage level and is now about to break through to the Grand Magus level.

However, the aura slowly subsided which made the man show discontent in his heart.

"I still lack something to break through the Grand Magus level… But I think this is enough for now… Hehe…" he muttered as he slowly stood up and look outside of the cave.

The dim forest is very impeccable as it fully hides his presence. But after that show of power, he knew that there would be some strong beast that would approach where he is. And that is what he wanted to happen.

Before going to the town, he needed to quell his thirst for blood. And what better way to it than to fight and kill.

It did not take long before the ground began to shake as if something really big is coming towards the cave. The trees in the forest even shake as a large figure began to approach.

Every footstep that the creature takes is like the beating of its heart which is faintly discernable in the ears of the man inside the cave.

"You big fellow would be my first victim…" he said as he turns his sight to the forest ahead of him.

Then from within the trees, a large head slowly pokes out followed by a humongous body of a creature that looks like a tall giant.

With a height of around 10 meters, the gigantic creature is looking towards the man inside the cave with interest.

The creature has three eyes and a head full of unkempt hair. It looks like a large human wearing beast skin on its large body.

On its hand is a large broken tree which it would be using as its weapon.

The eyes of the two met and as if by a tacit understanding, they immediately rushed to a fight.
