Chapter 258: In An Alternate Space

The six of them had their eyes on the two of them. At this moment, they were all thinking the same thing.

Ron’s voice was calm. “Catch those two and ask them.”

Upon hearing the order, Holken and Kadun dashed forward and flew away.

The two Great Archmagi had just come out of the Red Rose Sea when they saw the huge flying ferry. They were shocked for a moment and were immediately frightened by the two level-5 Great Archmagi who had leapt in front of them. They turned around and wanted to escape, but they had long lost their best chance.

They were not in a good state. The fatigue in their eyes was obvious. Suddenly, they were unable to resist the level-5 Great Archmagi who were stronger than them. They were quickly caught.

At this moment, the circulation of their magical power had been blocked, and they could only be thrown weakly onto the deck.

When they saw that there were so many people stronger than them on the flying ferry, their faces revealed expressions of horror and despair.

Ron looked down at the two who had fallen to the ground and said, “Who among you knows the details about the emergence of the ruins of the Divine Mage, especially the situation of the first batch of Magi who went in to search for treasures?”

The two of them were stunned for a second. The level-3 Great Archmage who had been pursued earlier quickly said, “I, I know! I’m one of the Magi who had gone in to investigate the situation! I can tell you all the details!”

“Speak.” The six of them stared intently at this person.

This person was also very sensible. He did not waste any time and told them everything Ron and the others wanted to know.

He was one of the first to discover the ruins of the predecessor here. At that time, an island had appeared in the center of the Red Rose Sea without warning. Moreover, there was a magic protective formation outside. However, the magic formation was already at the end of its power and could not withstand the fluctuations of the treasures inside.

In order to obtain the treasures, many Great Archmagi had joined forces to attack the magic formation, but they had not been able to break it… It was not until nearly 30 Great Archmagi continued to attack the magic formation for two consecutive days that the magic formation was finally broken.

Then, everyone went up to the island together. Only then did they realize that what had appeared on the Red Rose Sea was only a corner of the island.

Immediately after, everyone discovered a mysterious entrance. After entering, they were enlightened. This was the ruins of the mystic realm of a Divine Mage!

Before they could take a closer look, a beam of sacred light suddenly escaped from the depths. It was actually a living spirit sacred weapon!

The sacred weapon might have also sensed that the magic formation trapping it had been broken, so it fled in a hurry.

With such a magical item in front of them, everyone’s eyes turned red. Without a word, they picked up their weapons and started to snatch.

In the chaotic battle, more than half of the people died tragically on the spot. However, no one managed to snatch the sacred weapon. Furthermore, it seemed that something that should not have been touched had been touched in the battle, and that mystic realm actually started to collapse!

In the process of collapse, many treasures in the mystic realm appeared in front of everyone, including magical power manuals, magical weapons, refining materials… Hence, everyone started to kill and plunder again. This time, it was even more intense, and they no longer had any rationality to speak of.

As for himself, because he was weaker in the chaotic battle, he had no choice but to escape from the mystic realm. In the end, there were more people outside… The Magi who had escaped like him were besieged.

He killed his way out, but in the end, this person could not be shaken off no matter what. He could not defeat him, so he fled… He fled to the front of the flying ferry and was caught.

After hearing the story of the person called Clane, everyone present looked thoughtful.

Harris waved his hand and condensed energy to reveal two faint phantoms. He asked, “These two are Leonard and Edward. Have you seen them?”

“I’ve seen them before. They were also one of the first to enter to search for treasures. Edward even knows how to use a magic formation!” Clane quickly replied.

Hearing this, Ron and the others all looked happy. Harris asked, “Where are they?”

Clane thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know where they are now. When I escaped from the mystic realm, they were still inside…”

They were still inside! They could still be alive!

Harris felt a little relieved and looked at Ron.

Ron nodded imperceptibly, his gaze landing on the other person who had been restrained. “You can leave now.”

With that said, the person felt his magical power circulating normally again.

He was stunned for a moment. He had thought that he was going to die, but the tables had turned. He looked ecstatic, got up from the ground, and bowed respectfully to Ron. “Thank you for not killing me, Lord!”

With that said, he quickly slipped away, not even looking at the person he had pursued earlier.

“Clane, lead us to these two.” Ron looked at Clane. “You can leave after you have found them.”

“In the meantime, we’ll guarantee your life.”

Clane smiled bitterly and nodded. “I’ll listen to you.”

…When Clane was recounting the story earlier, the flying ferry had been advancing rapidly. At this moment, it had already reached the Red Rose Sea and was completely enveloped by the incomplete magic formation.

Below was the blood-colored Rose Lotus hidden under the water. On the sparkling surface of the water, blood mists were rising, and they became thicker and thicker as they went forward.

Not far ahead was the center region of the entire Red Rose Sea. The interference of magical power was extremely strong. Even Ron, who was a top Great Archmage, could only vaguely sense an abnormal spatial fluctuation.

Ron looked ahead and saw a blood mist so thick that it almost condensed into blood beads, and it had even formed a tornado vortex connecting the heavens and the earth. It was a spectacular sight.

Beside this tornado vortex, there were many figures. They were basically all the people who had fled from the mystic realm with treasures. They were being pursued by those who wanted to snatch the treasures… Some were fighting, and some were flying.

As for what Clane had recounted earlier that he had fled the mystic realm because he was weak and could not snatch the treasure, this was probably a lie. However, Ron did not care much about this. He was not interested in snatching treasures now.

Ron ignored the Mage beside him and steered the flying ferry directly toward the vortex.

Then, the seven people on the flying ferry saw a huge island appear in front of them. The island was about five kilometers in radius, and there were many reefs and other underwater plants on it… The island seemed to have stayed at the bottom of the sea for a very long time.

In the center of the island, which was also the highest point, there was a large area of ancient ruins. In the center of the ruins, there was a violent and distorted alternate space.

The “door” into the ruins of the mystic realm of the Divine Mage was also formed by a vortex.

“The entrance to the ruins seems to be expanding!” Clane was a little surprised. “I remember that it was not so big before!”

Dick smiled and said, “This Divine Mage seems to be a rather powerful existence even among those of the same realm. He has even built his cultivation mansion in an alternate space.”

There were also many kinds of items that could be used in an alternate space.

The Storage Rings that had been refined could actually be considered an alternate space. They were basically pitch-black inside and could only contain non-living objects.
