Chapter 780: Escaping the Prison!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Roar…”
Merlin and Wizard Setoh looked at the struggling Slothful Beast. They had never thought that the beast that the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards attacked together and did no damage to would be in such pain.
Now, the Slothful Beast was indeed in pain. Its huge body began to roll over. The entire palace in the sacred land instantly collapsed. Furthermore, the mountain where the sacred land was located also broke apart and completely crumbled.
However, strangely, there did not seem to be any changes to the Limbo Prison. The st.u.r.diness of the Limbo Prison completely exceeded their expectations.
“I thought that there wouldn’t be anything in the entire Void Zone that could harm the Slothful Beast but it seems that I was just ignorant and inexperienced. The flames left behind by the Flare Emperor could hurt the Slothful Beast. If his real body arrives, the Slothful Beast wouldn’t be considered a big deal either.”
As an ultimate existence, Setoh felt that he was a little ignorant. He was mostly useless compared to the two other Ultimate Arcane Wizards back when they had attacked the Slothful Beast together. He had felt that there was nothing that could harm the Slothful Beast. He was indeed arrogant and ignorant.
At the very least, the thirty-six Emperors of the Void Zone could harm the Slothful Beast, and perhaps even kill it. Although they were also ultimate existences, the gap was still very wide compared to the thirty-six Emperors.
It was even harder to imagine the terror of the Vestigial Tribe, whom great beings such as the thirty-six Emperors died upon fighting in battles.
While watching the Slothful Beast constantly struggling, many thoughts flashed in Setoh’s and Merlin’s minds. Flarite and the other two were closely watching the Slothful Beast.
As time pa.s.sed, the Slothful Beast thrashed more violently. Although the light blue flame could hurt the Slothful Beast, it did not seem to be able to kill it. Therefore, the Slothful Beast only relied on its instinct and frantically struggled to get rid of the flames.
However, Flarite, who controlled the Limbo Prison, had already sealed off the prison. Although only the Slothful Beast’s large head had entered the prison, it would be unable to break free unless it destroyed the Limbo Prison.
Merlin and the others hoped that the Slothful Beast could destroy the Limbo Prison. The prison was the core of the Flare Region world. If something were to happen to the core, then they would have a chance to leave this st.u.r.dy prison!
“Rumble.”
The mountains were collapsing, and the sacred land was sinking. It seemed that only the Limbo Prison was left. The Slothful Beast’s strength was extremely terrifying. It caused the entire Flare Region world to shake violently.
“How powerful. It might be able to break the Limbo Prison!”
Merlin and the others stared intently at the Slothful Beast. This was their only hope.
“Roar…”
Finally, with another roar from the Slothful Beast, faint cracks gradually appeared on the unbreakable Limbo Prison, and the light blue flame gradually seeped out from those cracks.
“It’s working!”
Everyone looked at the crack excitedly. As the core of the Flare Region world, the fact that cracks appeared on the Limbo Prison was proof that it was no longer unbreakable. Faint cracks also appeared in the sky. Ordinary beings would not be able to tell but Setoh could feel the power of the natural order.
“Haha, our plan succeeded. The moment the Slothful Beast breaks the Limbo Prison will be the moment we leave!”
Merlin and Setoh, as well as Flarite were all very excited. This was the final moment. Whether or not the Limbo Prison could be broken and the Flare Region world split open would still rely on the Slothful Beast’s final attack.
“Boom.”
Finally, the Slothful Beast’s violent struggle caused an effect. Although the Limbo Prison was not completely broken, the Slothful Beast was able to withdraw its head. Moreover, extremely large cracks appeared over the sacred land. Even the Slothful Beast’s instincts seemed to know that these cracks could keep it away from danger.
Therefore, the Slothful Beast gave a loud roar, and charged toward the huge crack. Merlin, Setoh, Flarite, and the others all glanced at each other and flew toward the crack as quickly as they could.
“Hum hum.”
They had barely forced themselves through the crack when it slowly closed again. Looking back, they could see the destroyed Limbo Prison gradually start to recover back to normal.
“That was a close call. We almost didn’t manage to leave!”
Flarite, who understood the Flare Region world the most, said with some fear. The Slothful Beast had only temporarily destroyed the Limbo Prison, which allowed a crack to rupture open in the Flare Region world.
This also directly reflected how strong the Slothful Beast was. Perhaps, besides the Thirty-six Emperors, everyone else would be helpless against the Slothful Beast.
It was precisely because of the Slothful Beast’s strength that the Limbo Prison could be temporarily broken, and a crack formed in the Flare Region world, allowing Merlin and the others to leave.
After the few had left, the Flare Region world swiftly recovered again, and was restored to that unbreakable prison again.
In the dark Void Zone, Merlin, Setoh, and the others quickly kept away from the huge flames. If the Flare Region dimension sucked them inside again, then they would never be able to leave.
“Phew…”
The few beings breathed sighs of relief, and Merlin said calmly, “We’ve finally left the Flare Region world. It’s just a pity. If we could control the terrifying Limbo Prison, then it would be frightening than any casting tool!”
This Flare Region itself was a prison specially prepared by the Flare Emperor, one of the Thirty-six Emperors for the Vestigial Tribe. Therefore, it was terribly powerful. If they had not found the Limbo Prison, and did not have a powerful force like the Slothful Beast, they would not have been able to escape. If used against an enemy, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel. It would be even more terrifying than the Atlan civilization’s dimension-level wars.h.i.+ps!
“I never want to go back to the Flare Region world. I’ve watched it for countless years. It’s about time I’m free…”
Flarite said with a sigh. Flaroah, Flarmun, and he were all Great Lords. After spending countless years in the Flare Region world, even they would feel exhausted.
Furthermore, as guards, they had never seen anyone from the Vestigial Tribe before, even though the Flare Region world was a prison for the Vestigial Tribe.
“Flarite, can you still control the Flare Region world?”
Merlin hesitated before asking.
“Control? My current amount of control over the Flare Region world is pitiful. After all, I’ve already left the Flare Region world!”
Flarite shook his head. He could no longer control the Flare Region world, and he never wanted to go back there again.
Merlin felt some regrets. He knew that the Flare Region world would continue to drift until no one could find it. If it erupted like last time and swept everything in it, then those beings would be out of luck.
Without an existence like the Slothful Beast, anyone sucked into the Flare Region world would only face endless imprisonment. No one could escape the Flare Region world.
“By the way, what are your plans? We’re too far away from your original world. We haven’t even heard of the Thirty-six emperors or the Vestigial Tribe before or even any news regarding the Flare Emperor.”
Merlin glanced at Flarite and the others. Those three were comparable to Great Lords and were a powerful force. Flarite, who was a quasi-ultimate existence, could influence a civilization.
Therefore, Merlin also attached great importance to these three beings.
“Yes, it’s too far! Things have changed, and we no longer have any place to return to. In the beginning, we were taken in by Sir Flare Emperor, and lost even the name of our own civilization. We’ve followed Sir Flare Emperor since we were young! Now that there’s no news of Sir Flare Emperor, we also don’t know where to go.”
Flarite looked at the vast Void Zone. He had just been overjoyed that he finally escaped that prison but once he came out, he realized that there was nowhere for him to go.
According to Merlin, a long time had pa.s.sed since, and countless powerful civilizations had already disappeared. This could be considered to be a completely new world.
For a moment, they were somewhat at a loss.
“Why don’t you three join the Spell Casters? We Spell Casters are a welcoming civilization. Civilizations that attach themselves to us also live very well, much less three powerful beings like you! More importantly, our Spell Caster civilization is now facing a powerful enemy called the Atlan civilization. They’re very similar to the Vestigial Tribe you faced in the past. As guards of the prison the Flare Emperor left behind, you should know more about the Vestigial Tribe. Therefore, I’d like to ask you to confirm if they’re the Vestigial Tribe.”
Wizard Setoh stepped forward, and said sincerely.
Both Merlin and Wizard Setoh welcomed Flarite and the others to join the Spell Caster civilization. Furthermore, they understood the Vestigial Tribe very well. They must have had seen many Vestigial Tribe members when following the Flare Emperor. If the Atlans were the Vestigial Tribe or were related to the Vestigial Tribe, then should be able to tell.
If they were the Vestigial Tribe, then it would no longer be the problem of the sole Spell Caster civilization. It would be a disaster for the entire Void Zone!
“Join your Spell Caster civilization? That’s fine but we won’t be bound by anything. As for the Atlan civilization you mentioned, if they’re related to the Vestigial Tribe, then we won’t stand idly by. From the start, our mission was to fight the Vestigial Tribe to the end. If there are beings from the Vestigial Tribe, we won’t forget our mission!”
Flarite’s expression was very solemn. Merlin found it difficult to understand how much hate their era had for the Vestigial Tribe. Even after so many years, he still stuck to his mission.
However, they agreed, which was good news for the Spell Caster civilization.
“Haha, we welcome you three into joining our Spell Caster civilization!”
Merlin and Setoh glanced at each other and could see the joy in each other’s eyes. Before they reached the Giant Tribe, three beings comparable to Great Lords had already joined them.
Although the process was rocky, it was extremely worth it!
“Right, what about that Slothful Beast?”
Flarite raised his head and pointed at the distant and huge Slothful Beast.
