With the five mages hesitant, ude thought that he seeded. As long as these mages continue to hesitate, they would reveal a loophole. A loophole that ude could take advantage of to either kill all of them or flee right this instance
However, before he could rejoice, uninvited guests suddenly appeared out of nowhere which turn his situation for the worst
“Since none of you wanted to attack first then give us the honor” a voice suddenly said as space twisted
The power of three 7th rank mages was able to tear a hole in space to arrive at where ude and the five 7th rank mages were
From the hole in space, three people came out and these three people have identical faces as if they were born triplets
All of them were wearing a in ck battle robes and the only distinguishing feature that they possesses was the small crystals on their forehead
One of them has a green crystal, the other has a yellowish-brown crystal, and thest one has a deep violet crystal
“Who are you?” One of the five 7th rank mages unconsciously asks and the three smile at the same time as if they were in sync
“We are Her Majesty the Serpentine Empress’s humble servants” the three answered at the same time
Hearing that, the muscles on ude’s body tightened. His nerves were a wrecked
Just five 7th rank mages alone were already enough to bring him great trouble, what more now that there were an additional three?
Eight 7th rank mages… that’s a scary line-up and if ude is not careful, today might be the day that he would fall
One must say that the Serpentine Empress’s tactic was simple but it was also extremely effective
She was able to prove that schemes don’t have to be deep andplicated. Even the simplest scheme could be the most effective scheme if it was done skillfully
“Now, shall we kill the realm’s chosen?” The triplets said at the same time again as theyunch their attacks at ude
Earlier, ude intimidated the five 7th rank mages causing them to be unable to attack him for a moment. But now that these triplets have arrived, they were able to perfectly dismiss ude’s n
Since one of them attacking would cause ude to target and steal their Blessed Land, why not just attack at the same time and use the people of the Serpentine Empress, right?
With that, ude was forced to fight eight 7th rank mages at once which causes his countenance to turn extremely grim
———
Inside the countless folds of space, the Serpentine Empress could be seen. She was moving slowly but surely with the guidance of a strange object
The strange object was in the form of apass but its size was definitely not the same as an ordinarypass
It was big enough for a person to stand on. In fact, the Serpentine Empress was standing precisely on top of thepass that was moving on its own
From time to time, cracks would appear on thepass as if the realm don’t tolerate its existence and wanted to erase thepass which was simply bizarre
Dark fog still covered her face but people that would observe her would see that she was actually quite anxious
Her anxiousness was not without reason. This is her only chance of possibly escaping a broken realm and once again stepping into the universe
If she fails this time then her death is almost set in stone. She would have to fight the realm’s chosen which was blessed and supported by the entire realm
If the Serpentine Empress was at her peak, not to mention the realm’s chosen, even the whole realm could be easily destroyed by her
But now, a weak realm’s chosen from a weak realm is already enough to threaten her life. It was funny how unpredictable life could be
“I must seed! I must seed and escape! I have wasted a lot of time in this broken realm already. The legacy, I need to obtain the legacy left by the #%^+=*” she muttered anxiously as thepass she was riding on continued to navigate the countless folds of space
The realm’s consciousness is simr to an AI that would only act depending on how it was programmed. It was very simr to aputer
The realm didn’t use its power to kill the Serpentine Empress directly but it was aware that she wanted to steal something that would cause the realm’s demise
As such, the self-defense mechanism of the realm kicks in and is causing this troublesome situation
Normally, the Serpentine Empress should have arrived at the gathering point of the Blessed Land already
The earth is only so big and fragile. A 7th rank mage could literally arrive at the exact opposite side of the realm just by tearing a hole in space
They could basically arrive wherever they want as long as they know where that ce is
However, the realm was hindering the Serpentine Empress. It was trying to fool her and send her away using the fabric of space
It was only with the help of herpass that the Serpentine Empress was able to make progress and inch closer to the gathering point
This was also the reason why she has to dy ude. The realm’s chosen can directly appear at the gathering point but for people like her… that was basically impossible
Even then, she continued to move and move, trying to reach the gathering point as fast as possible but she didn’t expect that someone would beat her to it
Not far from the Serpentine Empress, tens of small bubbles could be seen. These bubbles were grinding against each other, forming a strange scene
Those bubbles are precisely the Blessed Land from all the dead 7th rank mages not just in the current era but also in the previous ones
Those Blessed Lands previously had an owner. And even the realm cannot just take it back easily as it would take time
Even now, ude still cannot use these Blessed Lands as the realm was still trying to purify them
Hence, even the Serpentine Empress has to wait but she didn’t expect that she would see a person at the gathering point that was not ude Preston
This result was definitely unexpected to her. Never in her wildest dream would she think of this scenario
If it was ude Preston, she could understand since that man after all is the realm’s chosen. However, who was this? That is a person that the Serpentine Empress has never seen
However, while the Serpentine Empress doesn’t know who that person is, she is still aware of one thing
This young man hates her. No, in fact, hate might be an understatement. This young man loathes her to the core!
If given a chance, this young man would definitely kill her with no hesitation. No, in fact, the young man wanted to kill her but he knew that he doesn’t have the ability
With the Serpentine Empress’s experience and wits, she could read the young man even if he don’t say anything
“Who are you?” She questioned while raising her guard which was a normal thing to do
ude could arrive at the gathering point because of his identity. As for the Serpentine Empress, she has her treasures with her although thepass she was riding on earlier has now shattered into useless scraps that were further pulverized by the realm
But for this young man… what does he have or what is he to be able toe here even faster than the Serpentine Empress?
“Bitch…” the young man muttered whichpletely stunned the Serpentine Empress
Bitch? Did he just call her a bitch? She cannot believe how things develop and the only thing she was able to do was to stare at Rezen nkly
“I’ll kill you… I’ll kill you… mark my words, a day woulde when you will die from my hands!”
“Even if you die before I could kill you, I would drag you from the deepest parts of hell and bring you back to life just to kill you again!”
“No, no, no, wait, killing you is too merciful of an act. I’ll torture you in every way possible for eternity!”
“I’ll have men fuck you over and over again, have rats eat your flesh and leeches drink your blood. And when you are on the brink of death, I will fucking heal you just to burn you with the fires of hell”
“You will soon experience all versions of pain that this world could offer. That is what would be your future fate and no matter how much you struggle, you would not be able to escape the fate that I would bestow upon you”
“Serpentine Empress or whatever your fucking name is, marks my words, I will carve your name in history as the person that experienced the most pain in the world!”<!--
