Chapter 568

Chapter 568: The Door is Opening

It has been five months since I cut down the tree. And we have been training here every day.

Right now, I’m in a chasing game against Shadow again. This time, the whole place has been changed and keep changing thanks to one of the five master level mages. He’s a powerful earth mage who has reached master level, and his power as an Aura user was great as well.

But unlike a few months ago, this time, I can tell where Shadow is even with his illusion. Not just Shadow, I also chase after another invisible creature. Spot.

He’s using his camouflage which has been strengthened through training here as well. If it was the me a few months ago, I won’t be able to see him even with my Divine Vision. But now, even if my sight is blocked, my Mind’s Eye can see everything as if my Divine Vision hasn’t been blocked at all.

And after combining both Mind’s Eye and Divine Vision, I have the greatest sight and I can see everything in this place. Except for what’s inside the mysterious door that no one has ever opened.

Not only did I playing tag with Shadow and Spot, the others also here as obstacles. They would attack me and I need to fight them.

Clarence, Mona, Bearded Baldy, and even my own friends, Victoria, Sonia, Kayla, and the others. As for Angela, she’s too strong for me to fight while being blindfolded.

.....

The five master level mages here praised Angela for her power even though she’s not an Aura user. And they have never seen a mage in the past who has reached expert level mage in four different elements at the same time. Angela seems to be the very first multielement mage.

And she’s currently cultivating with the instruction of two master level mages so she could become one. She’s most likely to be the first master level mage with us.

As for the others, they have become considerably stronger now. Although most of the zombies are Aura users, some are still mages. And there are five master level mages, and about thirty expert level mages here. From the total of about two hundred zombies.

I haven’t practiced with everyone, but the Aura users told me that I only need to practice with the strongest of each skill. Like the strongest in fist-fighting, swordsmanship, and other skills. So, I didn’t need to ask each one of the ghost.

And I did all that while being blindfolded like right now. Although I have removed the blindfold once to test how the combined vision of Mind’s Eye and Divine Vision, I covered it again for this chase.

And finally, I cornered Shadow after I escape and fought the others. With daggers in each hands, he’s facing me one on one.

I easily parried his daggers by pushing the side of the daggers, and gave a strong blow to his chest. Creating a hole on his chest that would kill any human being. Though he’s a zombie.

“Good job, Roy. I don’t think there is anything that we can teach you anymore. You just only need to get stronger by yourself from now on,” Shadow said.

“Thank you. You and everyone here have taught me a lot of things,” I said.

“Not just you. The others who will fight that Evil God has grown much stronger than when they first enter this place. They even learned the magic we used in the past. Although there’s a weird one among you, he also has grown stronger,” Mona said.

The weird one she’s talking about was Kron.

After we prepared the schedule, I asked Kayla about Kron’s time to come here. And Kayla forgot to add him.

And after I called him that there’s a great training place, he ended up coming here every day like me and Angela. And instead of asking for instruction, he just asked the ancient Aura users here for a fight because he thinks it will help him stronger. Though I hope he also asked for some guidance about magic that was used in the past.

As for Angela, even though she has been given instruction, no one here can really teach her because she’s one of a kind. Just like me, all of them agreed that she can grow stronger by trusting her instinct.

Maybe Kron is jealous of her. That’s why he thinks that he can do what Angela do as well.

Though at least he has grown stronger. But he was branded as a weirdo by the ancient Aura users.

Actually, he was the third weirdest person here. The first was me, and the second was Victoria. I mean, there are no one among so many ancient Aura users here who learned from ostriches. And there are no powerful air mages here. Rather, they’re the one asking me for instructions about air magic.

The one I got along the closest here were Mona and Shadow. Mona because she’s also a Divine Vision user, and Shadow because we’re both doctor. He was curious about all the medical knowledge unknown to him in the past.

I have now learned everything they could teach me. Although we haven’t fully tested our strength to each other. I know that I’m still no match against many of them.

Not only they were from the age where Aura users were many, they have spent over a thousand years here exchanging ideas and learning from each other.

“Well, you have learned everything you can learn. What now? Will you just go and ask everyone for a spar?” Mona asked.

“Well-”

Before I could even reply, suddenly, there’s a great tremor in this place. Is it an earthquake?

The earth mages including Angela, Sara, and the master level mages, get down and touched the ground with their hands trying to stop the quake. But nothing happened.

“What is this tremor? This is even stronger than the magic of master level mage!” Angela shouted.

“Stronger than master level mages? Does it mean there’s a level beyond that!? Is it the Evil God? Has he found me?”

I was panicked in an instant. But I still quickly grabbed Victoria and prepare to fight.

Luckily, it was not the Evil God. It’s this place. The door that no one has ever entered is opened. And someone is coming out of that place.

“That’s enough of training. I will force you to start the test right now.”

From the door, a man came out.

“Are you the creator of this place? And you’re alive!?”

I was so shocked seeing someone who is at least three thousand years old is still alive. That’s the time the oldest zombie here died.

With my Divine Vision, I can see that blood is flowing in his body. Real blood. And all the organs in his body are functioning normally.

He just looks like someone in his forties. A very healthy man. Shadow can also see that since he’s also a doctor like me. But I can tell that clearly because I can see inside of this man’s body.

“Had enough of looking? That’s right. I’m the creator of this place, and I’m still alive,” the man said.

“...What should I call you? Landlord?” I asked.

“If that’s what you want. I spent most of my time sleeping after I made this place. Name is of no important to me,” the man said.

“Though I owned the house and the land where this place is currently. So, I’m the real landlord. And you should be my tenant and pay for your rent. Especially with this many people living under my house,” I said.

“I slept most of my life, until someone cut down the tree which is the door that led to this testing ground. And once I woke up, I see everything that happened not just in this place, but also in the surface. And even if I expect that you would reply in a strange way, I didn’t expect that you would ask me to pay for the rent. I don’t have any money, but you have received many things in this place, right? Consider the rent is paid,” he said.

“...Okay. Then, I will give you a name that I can call so that we won’t be confused. I’ll just call you Timmy,” I said.

“Then I will be Timmy. I will start the test soon. If there’s any question you want to ask, ask away. Not just Roy, but everyone here can ask me anything,” Timmy said.

“You said that you have watched everything in the surface as well. Can you tell me where the Evil God and all the remaining cult members are?” I asked.

If I know his place, I can go there and assassinate him right away. At least that’s what I’m thinking.

“Unfortunately, I don’t know. My magic level has surpassed master level and could detect everything in this continent. Which mean that person you called Evil God is either not touching the ground, or at least he is not anywhere in this continent,” Timmy said.

I was shocked to hear that. There are many things I’d like to ask Timmy. But one thing for sure is that I can only delay the test by asking him questions. I can no longer utilize the zombies in this place for training anymore. That’s for sure.
