Chapter 111: Land of Longevity

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone could tell that these corpses were all being controlled by Gajeel. Although he had just woken up and his rationality had not fully recovered, he still had a powerful ability to control these corpses.

At the same time, his awakening had injected more energy into these corpses. They were more able to fight than before, and at the same time, they had a stronger life force. Currently, the corpses were like Magi who had used explosive techniques, and they possessed a strength that far surpassed what they originally had.

Romo was currently at the second stage, so even if the energy of these corpses became greater, Romo would still be able to deal with them. However, Romo did not have the time or energy to care about these corpses.

The chains, wrapped in thick fog, above their heads were about to come crashing down on them.

Everyone present, including Harris, who had extraordinary magical power, was powerless against the awakening of Gajeel. There was nothing they could do. Only Romo could deal with Gajeel.

Romo kept releasing his energy, hoping to shatter the chains which were about to crash down. The others were in charge of stopping the corpses which were about to charge forward. The division of labor was clear, and the team was also making breakthroughs bit by bit.

With a loud bang, an ear-piercing sound was heard from behind Romo and the others. A cloud of black fumes was approaching Romo and the others. From the black fumes, one could faintly make out Gajeel’s voice, and the sounds of wailing ghosts and howling wolves could be heard next to Gajeel. The screams were so wretched that Romo could not help but shiver.

Stefan had deliberately kept the reason for this situation a secret from Romo and the others.

Gajeel had not spared the physical bodies of those he had killed, he had also not spared their souls. Their physical bodies had been refined into zombies by Gajeel for his command, and their souls had been swallowed by Gajeel, becoming a part of his body.

Hence, these wails earlier had been emitted by the souls which Gajeel had once devoured. Of course, they were now emitted by Gajeel’s body.

Even Harris, who had seen many big scenes, had a very horrified expression on his face when he saw these wailing and howling souls. This was perhaps the most terrifying scene he had ever seen in his life.

Romo knew that these souls were far from being as simple as he had thought. In order not to underestimate them, Romo had no choice but to put down what he was doing. He had a ghastly expression, and he cast the energy in his body into a semicircular protective barrier to prevent the ghosts from harming him.

However, as Romo stopped in his tracks, the others had no choice but to follow Romo and stop. In an instant, the corpses that were not within the range of Romo’s protective barrier launched a large-scale attack. Harris and the others had to resist with all their might in order not to be injured.

The few of them were now in a very difficult situation. They could neither advance nor retreat.

Romo looked up at the situation in front of him, and then up at the exit, which was just inches away. Normally, this distance would only take an instant for Romo, but now, it was far away.

The corpses on the side howled continuously. Even Gajeel, who was in the air, and enshrouded in black fog, was roaring furiously. He had no rationality to speak of at all. It was as if he was recounting the anger he had suppressed all these years, and all of this anger was about to erupt at this moment.

Through the gaps in the black fog, one could see specks of golden light emitting from the runes. They were also pulsating constantly and injecting energy into Gajeel.

Harris and the others were about to go into despair from facing the corpses. Leonard was the first to speak. “I wonder if Mage Romo has any solution to our current predicament?”

The reason why Leonard had placed his hopes on Romo was because in his conversation with Stefan earlier, Romo had demonstrated strength far beyond their imagination. Furthermore, they had unanimously believed that Romo was definitely not simple.

As such, Romo shouldered the hope of the entire team. He looked at the corpses one moment and then at Gajeel the next. His brows were tightly furrowed as he let out a soft sigh.

This sigh almost extinguished all their hopes. Just as they were in despair, Romo slowly said, “Listen to me very carefully. My descendants are currently in Yellowstone City. If you have the chance, I hope you can take care of them.”

Romo’s few words were like entrusting a will to his descendants. They could not understand why Romo had said this.

“Mage Romo, what do you mean by this?” Edward asked. “The few of us will definitely be able to get out of here.”

Edward had just asked this question, and the few of them could clearly sense Romo’s energy beginning to increase rapidly. His entire being was also changed drastically, and he was standing in the wind.

Romo’s energy had already reached its peak in the first place. Just now, it had increased a little again, and he was almost able to reach the level of the Art of Longevity.

Everyone had also discovered that currently, Romo was almost identical to Gajeel, especially the energy radiating from his body.

Romo waved his right hand toward the sky, and the shadows in the air instantly dissipated. Even the black chains in the air instantly collapsed, and the black fumes also vanished instantly.

Gajeel’s figure gradually became clear, and he appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Gajeel, who seemed to have sensed the threat from Romo, let out an unprecedented roar.

Looking at Gajeel’s state, Romo quickly took a step forward. Thereafter, the ground instantly split open, and Romo’s figure flew into the air in a confrontation with Gajeel.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The continuous sounds in the sky were getting louder and louder, shocking Harris and the others. Everyone could faintly see the two figures constantly getting closer and then further apart. Every time they got closer, the entire space would tremble.

Even the shockwaves of this battle had forced Harris, who was of such a high level, to dodge quickly. At the same time, he had to pay attention to the corpses around him.

“This… This… is too powerful. Which area is Mage Romo a master of?” Leonard sighed in shock as he fought.

Only Harris could see through the mystery. “Mage Romo is trading his lifeblood in exchange for such a large eruption of energy. He is planning to sacrifice himself to save us.”

None of them had expected Romo to have such a plan. The expressions on their faces were mixed. They were even somewhat surprised that Romo would do these things for them.

Romo, who was in mid-air, seemed to have the intent to contribute all his lifeblood. He did not care about his life at all.

Only Romo knew that he was in the third stage of transformation, so at a spot where no one could see him, an exuberant and excited smile appeared on Romo’s face..
