“There’s another world outside here?” Ann opened her mouth wide in shock. “But we clearly have sky here too, and I’ve even flown to high altitude…”

“Very high?”

“Uh, not really. After all, there’s no magic power replenishment here, so the higher you fly, the greater the consumption.”

Saul nodded. “I’ve also flown at high altitude, through the clouds, but never went higher.”

Saul thought about it – actually, he had never flown out of the atmosphere in the wizard world either.

He didn’t know if the wizard world had such a thing. But supposedly the entire wizard world was sealed and inescapable, so he probably couldn’t fly beyond the sky either.

Perhaps the wizard world was also like the Chaos Realm, sealed by a membrane layer, just that the wizard world was larger, and the membrane sealing it was higher and broader.

But did the wizard world’s membrane have such a small gap for him to explore the outside world?

Just thinking of this, Saul was startled. “Wait, the stargate, isn’t that the crack in the wizard world? Does every membrane have a crack?”

However, the crack in the Chaos Realm was different from the crack in the wizard world.

But the worlds beyond the cracks might all contain dangers.

Saul pondered for a moment, feeling he still needed to take another look at the world outside the Chaos Realm, to see that world more desolate and monotonous than the Chaos Realm, and that skeleton person who appeared at the last moment.

But before that, he needed to tell Byron and Keli this news, lest they wait anxiously on the other side.

Saul waited here for a day, organizing the new bone monster remains Ann had obtained.

During this time, among the Black Water City people, except for Lucia, no one discovered Saul’s presence.

In their view, Ann was just a solitary person who occasionally liked talking to herself. Although her eight spider legs looked somewhat frightening – even the most severely mutated Chaos Realm people didn’t have this – she was one of Great Priest Noah’s people. Supposedly a devotee of that Death Judge.

Though they didn’t understand what a devotee was, it must be someone very impressive.

A day later, Keli and Byron finally found Saul’s location using their self-made traveling tools.

Both followed Saul down once, and when they came back up, they were both somewhat shocked.

They were both second-rank wizards[a][b], especially Byron whose mental power was among the elite of second-rank, and they had discovered the large amounts of bone monster remains inside the crevice, among which there might very well be complete remains.

The three discussed and decided to change the arrival point for world traversal to here.

After all, compared to the black desert containing large amounts of black powder, they now needed bone monsters more.

“The number of bones exposed on the crevice surface is quite considerable. We’ve decided to split up for excavation.” Keli took out a newly drawn crevice map.

“Senior Byron, Miss Ann, and I will each be responsible for a section.”

Keli didn’t assign tasks to Saul. She knew Saul wouldn’t stay in the Chaos Realm for long.

If not for Frim’s threat, Saul was already planning to head to the Sighing Wall in the far north. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ⓝovelFire.net

Now they were pretending to search for Storm Eyes to buy time, and this time limit might only be one year, more likely just half a year.

Bone monsters would become their trump card against Frim, so naturally the more the better.

But even so, for Saul, the first priority still wasn’t staying here for “archaeology.”

Confronting Frim definitely wasn’t something that could be accomplished simply. He needed to unite all forces he could unite.

He should go find his master and tell Gorsa about Frim’s possible intention to secretly assassinate him.

However, before leaving, Saul still needed to visit the world beneath the Chaos Realm once more.

At the very least, he needed to determine the danger level there and whether it would threaten his friends excavating bone monsters in the crevice.

So, after resting for a day, Saul once again found the crack at the bottom of the crevice and skillfully used fate lines to drill through that crack.

Compared to his last visit, this time Saul was more cautious.

He carefully extended just a tiny bit of line head, then immediately used mental power to probe whether there were any active living or non-living beings nearby.

However, what he hadn’t expected was that when he had just let his mental power follow the fate line’s head to the world beneath the Chaos Realm, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[You’ve come again.]

Saul: “!”

Saul: “Who are you?”

This voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Saul couldn’t immediately recall where he’d heard it.

But when Saul turned the fate line, he saw the gray-white human skeleton he’d seen when leaving here last time.

“Are you talking to me? You can actually see me?”

The other party didn’t launch an attack, didn’t even conduct mental power scanning. Saul controlled the fate line to rise a bit more, with the line head level with the white skeleton.

[I can see you because I see myself.]

The other party’s words were puzzling, but through multiple exchanges, Saul gradually remembered whose voice this belonged to.

“Ca… mus?”

[I’m glad you still remember me.] This text is hosted at NoveI-Fire.ɴet

“I just wasn’t familiar with your voice. As for you as a person… you’re really hard to forget.”

Saul recalled when he was dealing with an erupting Storm Eye, Camus had run out from his body and drilled into an anchor point ejected from the Storm Eye.

Subsequently, that knuckle-like anchor point had forcibly lodged at Saul’s left index fingertip. It wouldn’t pollute Saul, but was a major killer weapon. When it first appeared, it directly polluted third-rank wizard Firefly Lord Herbert.

This caused Saul to be very careful with his left hand normally, afraid the index finger bone inside would be exposed and cause irreversible pollution.

But after entering the index finger anchor point, Camus had fallen silent. Saul never heard her speak again, and he once thought Camus’s soul that entered the anchor point had actually been destroyed in a substantial sense.

But Saul hadn’t expected to hear Camus’s voice today, in the world beneath the Chaos Realm.

Moreover, if the other party hadn’t spoken but said she saw herself, then very likely what the other party saw was the anchor point hidden in Saul’s index finger.

Anchor point?!

The fate line suddenly trembled. “Your body?”

Camus didn’t hide anything at all.

[Yes, called an anchor point by people of the wizard world.]

“You’re not Camus!” Saul continued trembling. Besides the fear overflowing from his heart, he also felt excitement at approaching the truth. “You’re the black tide’s anchor point? The black tide’s master?”

[You think too highly of me. How could I possibly be the black tide’s master?]

Camus’s voice carried some helplessness.

[I’m just the most ordinary skeleton here.]

The gray-white bone raised its hand and swept toward the back.

[Look! I’m just the smallest, weakest, most inconspicuous one among the many skeletons here.]

The fate line rose a bit more. It couldn’t clearly perceive such distant places, but same as last time, Saul still “saw” those mountain-like, motionless, gray-white giant objects.

[a]was it mentioned that keli advanced… I don’t think so, should be fixed

[b]No, She did advance. The Second Rank. When Saul kidnapped her, she was first rank, and after he went to Ophelia place and returned, Keli advance. I don’t remember exactly but I think there was scene where she advance.
