Chapter 30: Arrival of the Enemy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In Ye Tian’s residence, Annie was meditating in the backyard, accumulating magical power, even though it had been a few years since she felt that her strength had truly increased.

After a while, Annie, who had finished meditating, opened her eyes.

“Could it be that my talent or aptitude can only allow me to cultivate to this realm?”

Annie couldn’t understand why her strength suddenly stopped and she didn’t improve at all.

Previously, she had asked Ye Tian this question but he could not give her a specific answer.

Most of the knowledge taught in the academy was about magic. As for talent or aptitude, there was only a test during the admission period.

Later on, after Ye Tian was expelled from school, he realized that he could live forever to ensure that no one would find out about his secret.

Ye Tian had always cultivated according to the academy’s methods. After that, he used the True Spirit Ignition Spell to exchange his life force for an increase in strength.

Therefore, Ye Tian did not know much about such matters.

“Ye Tian said that after he goes into seclusion this time, he will go overseas to help me gather information, hoping to find an answer to the problem.”

Annie turned her head and looked at the tightly shut door. There was a faint ripple of magic energy there, and she muttered to herself expectantly.

At this moment, Annie suddenly turned to look into the distance and said in surprise,

“What a powerful magical aura. Who is it? I haven’t heard of any news of powerful mages recently. Are they from overseas? What are they doing in Maple Forest City?”

Although she was curious, Annie was not interested in going over to take a look.

…

Outside Maple Forest City, a figure flew in the air. The wind behind him swept up leaves and dust as he flew over with huge momentum.

On the city wall, the soldiers in charge of patrolling today had never seen such a scene and immediately forgot to move.

As expected of the Lower Realm, this was a bunch of ignorant ants!

Ricks, who flew past, saw everyone’s reaction and revealed a look of contempt and disdain.

Maintaining a huge momentum, Ricks arrived above the palace and swept his gaze around.

That direction was where Ye Tian’s residence was and the magical fluctuations could not escape his attention.

However, Ricks did not go there immediately. In his perception, the magic fluctuations there were not strong. They were only at the Great Mage realm.

The phenomenon in the sky immediately attracted the attention of the ministers and Monarchs in the palace. They walked out of the hall and looked up at Ricks, who was slowly descending like a god.

“Who is this person?”

“How dare you come to the palace to cause trouble. You’re simply bold. Do you have any respect for His Majesty?”

“Should we invite Mage Ye Tian?”

Amidst the flustered soldiers and bewildered ministers, the new Monarch walked out and said in a dignified manner, “Quiet.”

Instantly, no one spoke another word.

The Monarch swept his gaze across the surrounding guards who were holding weapons. He took a deep breath and asked, “Why did you barge into the capital of the Red Moon Empire?”

“Are you in charge now? Where did Norton go? Is he dead?”

Ricks sized him up and asked instead of answering.

Back then, he was chased down from the Upper Realm and was severely injured. He originally wanted to find a quiet environment and order people to find medicine for him while treating his injuries.

In the end, the Monarch of the Red Moon Empire, Norton, found out that he was from the Upper Realm and actually gathered mages to take him down. He was really courting death.

No matter what, he was still from the Upper Realm. Even if he was heavily injured, he was not someone these people from the Lower Realm could covet.

After that battle, although Ricks had intimidated the Monarch of the Red Moon Empire, his injuries were even more serious. For this reason, he could only seal himself in the mountain until his injuries healed recently and his cultivation returned to its original state.

“Norton is my great-grandfather. Do you know him? Who are you?”

The new Monarch frowned, trying to find some clues about this person from his memories.

“I’m Ricks.”

This Magister coldly stated his name. He had come today to take revenge.

However, from the looks of it, Norton had probably been dead for a long time.

“You, you’re that evil mage from the Upper Realm!!”

The moment he heard the name, the new Monarch’s expression changed drastically.

As the son of the Empire’s Monarch, he had received all kinds of education since he was young. This included some important events that had happened over the years.

Among them, in the battle against the mages of the Upper Realm many years ago, due to the heavy losses of the mages of the Red Moon Empire, the records were especially detailed.

If not for the fact that the number of mages in the Red Moon Empire had decreased due to that battle and too many powerful mages had died, the Frost Snow Empire would not have had the courage to start a war later.

“Hahaha, there are still people who remember me. Unfortunately, Norton died too early. He didn’t even give me a chance to take revenge.”

Ricks shook his head regretfully and added with a sigh, “Think about how to compensate your great-grandfather for the mistakes he made to me. Before that, I’ll go meet Mage Ye Tian first. Hmph, he actually dared to kill my disciple. He really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!”

With that, Ricks soared into the sky again and flew towards Ye Tian’s residence.

The new Monarch’s face was filled with worry, and his eyes revealed deep worry.

Since Ricks dared to appear, it meant that he definitely had something to rely on. Perhaps it was his strength or something else.

Although the mages in the Empire had improved, there were not many truly powerful mages. Even if all the mages in Maple Forest City joined forces, they would probably not be a match for Ricks.

What should they do?

The only hope now was probably Mage Ye. Hopefully, he could get rid of Ricks.

Looking at the mansion, the new Monarch felt a little uncertain. In terms of cultivation time, Mage Ye Tian still did not have as much time as Ricks.

“Ye Tian, get out here!”

A low roar spread above Ye Tian’s residence. The servants, butler, and Annie all noticed the figure in the sky.

“Who are you? Ye Tian is in seclusion and it’s not convenient for him to meet guests. Please leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

With a leap, Annie stood on the roof and stared coldly at Ricks.

The clothes on her body fluttered even though there was no wind. Powerful magic power burst out from her body.

However, Ricks could tell Annie’s strength at a glance and did not take her seriously at all.

“Interesting. I’d like to see how impolite you are. Make your move!”

She could not let him ruin Ye Tian’s breakthrough! Annie chanted silently and flames appeared in the void around her, fusing into two two-meter-long flaming spears.

“Go!”

With a wave of her hands, the spears beside her were thrown at Ricks. Wherever they passed, the terrifyingly high temperature distorted the air.

After being locked on, Ricks didn’t show any change in his emotions. He didn’t even make any unnecessary movements. He opened his mouth slightly and made a blowing gesture.

In an instant, a violent force met the spear, shaking it and threatening to extinguish it at any moment.
