145 Chapter 145

Great Serpent Blessed Land

Inside a blessed land where countless serpents dwelled, two figures of light suddenly appeared. Both of which have fairy-like beauty but their bodies seem to be created with light

If anyone from Greenwood City were to see these two, no doubt that they would be shocked

They are Space Fox and Snow Fox! They were the two 6th fusion rank mages that just ‘died’ in Greenwood City but their souls actually entered the Blessed Land

A ripple appeared on the said Blessed Land and a mysterious power were poured on the two spiritual bodies

Soon, changes appeared in them. Their figures that were originally human-like with no difference from their original bodies were molded into something different

Something that is not human but… serpents!

The souls of Space Fox and Snow Fox both turned into giant serpents at least a hundred meters long in size

One of them has snow white scales and the other has brownish red scales. From the humans that they were, they suddenly turned into giant serpents, their might suppressing most of their ‘kind’ inside the Blessed Land

As former 6th fusion rank mages, the moment that they have transformed into giant serpents, they retained their previous strength

As for whether this is a real reincarnation… no one knows. Their eyes seemed to hold intelligence in them but that was only it

It was unknown whether they retain their memories and essence

The two giant serpents just started to blend in with their new environment when a mystical and suppressive power covered their giant bodies

“Hiss!!”

The giant serpents hissed fearfully as they were helplessly dragged inside the eerie Castle that effortlessly swallowed them

Bang!

The giant serpents landed on the floor of the Throne Room, their size became smaller than before as a terrifying pressure bored down on their bodies

“So… in the end, even if I said that the plan couldn’t be allowed to fail… you still failed…”

The voice of the Serpentine Empress shrouded by a dark mist echoed. Her beautiful and elegant voice seems to have directly pierced through the souls of everyone

Such an enchanting voice could enamor both gods and demons but hidden in that voice was a bone-chilling dreadful might

“Y-Your… M-Majesty… t-this…”

Kneeling on the floor below the throne was a figure clad in black clothes from head to toe. His body trembled after seeing the giant serpents and when hearing the Empress’s words

Deep fear struck him and despite the mist surrounding the Empress, it felt like she was staring straight into his soul that could be erased at will

“If you succeed, your sacrifices would be rewarded but since you didn’t… what is your use?”

“Hisss!!!”

The two serpents violently hissed, their bodies twisting in an abnormal way as if they were a piece of rag that was being squeezed to remove the water it absorbs

Splat!

In just a moment, the serpents with power equivalent to 6th rank beings exploded into small bits of organic matter, causing the pair of sisters to die again

With the curse mark they had, as long as they sacrificed their physical body resulting in a pseudo-deaths, they could still be reborn as a serpent in the Blessed Land

But now that they died again and for real this time, even if all the 7th rank mages joined hands, there is no way for them to return to life

“Y-Your M-Majesty… t-this servant w-was useless! P-please f-forgive me a-and g-give this s-servant another c-chance!” Shadow Snake begged fearfully to the point that he was slamming his forehead on the floor

However, despite his fearful begging, he can sense the Serpentine Empress’s apathetic gaze as if she was staring at a mere piece of trash

“Forgive you?”

The air suddenly turned oppressive and Shadow Snake felt as if space itself was choking him

“I HAVE BEEN TRAPPED IN THIS BROKEN WORLD FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS!”

The Serpentine Empress’s voice boomed like a clap of thunder, echoing in the entire Blessed Land

All the serpents that hears her bowed their heads in fright. A thought is all it takes for the Empress to kill them, how could they not be fearful of her?

“YOUR INCOMPETENCE WOULD FORCE ME TO STAY IN SUCH A BROKEN WORLD FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME!”

With a wave of the Serpentine Empress’s hand, everything of Shadow Snake from neck to toe turned into malevolent serpents that bit him on the face

“A-aahhh!!! Y-Your M-Majesty!!! N-no!! P-please!!!”

In front of Space Monarch, Shadow Snake was overbearing. But in front of the Serpentine Empress, he was as weak as an ant

The malevolent serpents that bit him all over his head brought unimaginable pain to him. It was as if with every bite of his flesh, his soul itself was being bitten

“You shall suffer for hundreds of years for your incompetence!” The Serpentine Empress declared and the head of Shadow Snake vanished

When his head reappeared, he was already at the bottom of the lake, destined to be tortured for hundreds of years if nothing happens

To easily give that kind of fate to a 7th rank mage… if others knew about it they would definitely shudder in fright

“Myriad Poison Serpent” the Empress suddenly called out like a summoning

Almost instantly, a portal appeared inside the Throne Room and from it, a woman with a poisonous alluring figure walked out

She has purple-color eyes and hair while her lips have a thick layer of green on them. Her voluptuous and alluring body was hugged tightly by her clothes as she kneeled down

Clearly, she was also afraid of the Empress

Myriad Poison Serpent… she was actually the source of the poison that killed the majority of the citizens of Greenwood City

Her poison brought countless deaths and was only suppressed by the military casting purification spells along with Florine’s [Great Eternal Forest]

Of course, the poison she uses was just an extremely downgraded version of her real power. If she uses her authentic poison then no mortal could possibly survive

But since beings at their level can’t interfere much or use a power that exceeds the mortals, she can only use that kind of ‘weak poison’

Shadow Snake was only the one that help the Twighlight Beast in Greenwood City from the dark but the poison is from Myriad Poison Serpent. His abilities were suited for stealth which is what was needed to secretly plot the fall of the city

“That Dark Saint Claude Preston… I want him to die, do you understand?” The Empress said and the other 7th rank mage nodded her head furiously

“Rest assured, Your Majesty. I shall send a group of 6th fusion rank mages with the lead of an unparalleled mage to assassinate him” Myriad Poison Serpent immediately answered

What a joke! None of the Elders of the Twighlight Beast would dare not obey the Empress!

They are all fearful of her power and their lives were literally in her hands. Absolute obedience is necessary for their survival

“No… I feel that something was off with him. I don’t want you to send 6th fusion rank mages, I want you to kill him yourself! To dare thwart my plans, he deserved to die millions of times!”

Hearing that, Myriad Poison Serpent was flabbergasted. It was an unwritten rule that people like them could only fight beings at their level

Attacking those below them would earn the hostility of other 7th rank mages that almost no one would do that

Of course, it doesn’t mean that they cannot do anything. If they were displeased by a certain mortal then all they have to do is to show their dislike for them or send their mortal subordinates

Even if that person is a 6th fusion rank mage, if they were to be besieged by a group of mages at the same level as them, could they even walk out alive?

“T-that… Y-Your Majesty… w-wouldn’t that make us a public enemy? O-of course, this servant would still obey but I’m just afraid that Your Majesty’s plan would be affected” Myriad Poison Serpent said

The Preston Family after all also has their own 7th rank mages and they place great importance on Claude

The Serpentine Empress already received great resistance from the Eastern Country. Provoking such a goliath clan would definitely not result in anything good

It was not worth it to kill a single mortal while offending the Preston Family

“You don’t have to worry about that. The Preston Family’s strength has always been a cause of dread for the military of the Eastern Country. If that Claude broke through and become a 7th rank mage, that would just be boosting his family’s power by another level. Many people don’t want to see that”

The military is the nominal head of the Eastern Country but there were also the giants such as Preston Family and Daydream

The power that these clans and organizations hold was immense that the Eastern Country wouldn’t want to see them gaining another 7th rank mage
