Leylin looked at the surroundings and saw the human grey robed Magus blocked by Robin, while Kesha had picked to go up against the huge Barbarian Bear. He found it puzzling as to why she liked such big challenges.
Noah, on the other hand, led the Black Horrall Snake Magi and continued with the attack.
The entire field was a sea of confusion and chaos. An urgent bugle horn sounded and Leylin could feel the rays of light that chased them making their way back rapidly.
“Foreign human, do you also long for the Forgotten Land’s pocket dimension?”
With a brain that was twice the size of a regular human and a body covered with endless wrinkles, the Green-skinned Barbarian was done with it’s poison concoction and positioned itself in front of Leylin, revealing it’s few teeth that were stained yellow.
“I didn’t expect you to be a Potions Master as well!” Leylin looked intently at the grey coloured alms bowl the Green-skinned Barbarian was holding. In it was a bubbling dense green liquid.
“Get out of my way!” The fallen sword in Leylin’s hand created endless blade rays.
A huge ray of brilliance swiped across the ground and left a long deep gush.
“You shall make a fine addition to my, Modris’, collection!”
The Green-skinned Barbarian laughed. With it’s exceptionally nimble hands and the constant undulations on its body increasing steadily, it seemed as if it was more powerful than Leylin!
*Swish! Swish!* The clever Green-skinned Barbarian split his body into three parts, and in turn each part grew as a whole. It headed straight for Leylin at full speed.
“Just this?” Leylin smiled callously as swiped his sword repeatedly and pierced through two of the phantom images.
The Green-skinned Barbarian’s smile showed a confidence in victory as it swiftly started chanting.
Beside one of the phantom images, the greenish liquid in the grey alms bowl exploded and manifested itself into a gooey monstrous hand.
The innumerable suction pads on the hand started trembling, seeming like it was attached to a tremendously huge body that was attempting to break free from the alms bowl.
Green billows of fog filled the air as if a cage and attempted to trap Leylin within.
But suddenly, the Green-skinned Barbarian’s eyes shot open.
Leylin showed no signs of panic or fear amidst the fog, and on the contrary, took out a potion of his own from his belt. A layer of pink smoke slowly dispersed, enveloping the alms bowl.
The pink smoke neuralized the green gas in moments, and soon droplets of liquid started to form that sprinkled onto the ground.
“How… How can it be…” The Green-skinned Barbarian’s jaw fell wide open.
“Are you surprised your summon mixture has zero effect? Do you think I can’t recognise it?” Leylin looked at the Green-skinned Barbarian, his smile showing his satisfaction.
“With just a potion of clean-jem neutralizing potion, the problem can be solved. You should be embarrassed to use such mediocre potions against me!”
WMW Chapter 421
Sudden Entry
Battles between Potions Masters depended most on their accumulated knowledge and recipes.
For instance, had Leylin not recognised the type of potion that the Green-skinned Barbarian was using, it might have been a hindrance to him.
The winner was determined by who managed to see through the other party’s setup.
When it came to all this information, how could the Green-skinned Barbarian match up to Leylin, who possessed the A.I. Chip?
“You-” The opposite Green-skinned Barbarian’s fingers began to shake, evidently in fear.
“What? Are you planning to use the Star-traced amulet and activate the Icy Frost Potion above your waist, or are you going to use the Corrosive Poison Arrow Potion at your back?”
Leylin measured up this Green-skinned Barbarian, obviously ridiculing it.
“Oh! No, I think you’re doing this as a cover for you to activate your Wind Spirit’s Fury under your feet!”
All sorts of expressions crossed the opposite Green-skinned Barbarian’s face, and it was truly difficult for it to have so many expressions and movements on his creased face. At the end, all this turned into terror.
“Ah! You’re the devil! The devil!”
The Green-skinned Potion Master yelled, and actually abandoned his race and companions, fleeing from the battle area first.
It evidently had a very high status here. After seeing it flee, the other Green-skinned Barbarians were startled, and with some of them shouting at the top of their voices, they rapidly left the area.
“Good job!” Robin, who was not far away, revealed a smile. He was the strongest of the three of them, and the opposite grey-robed Magus could only fend for himself.
Kesha, who was on the other side, was not so lucky.
When she had chosen her opponent, she had had no A.I. Chip and depended on her judgment. She had actually chosen the Barbarian Bear Shaman, which was likely at the Crystal Phase.
This Barbarian Bear Shaman not only had unimaginable strength but also a tough body. Even Kesha’s Eye of Petrification could only hold it for a second and had no other effect.
Rank 1 or two spells that struck it would char the fur, but there would be no substantial harm. As for rank 3 spells? Not only were such models difficult to get a hold of, to use them in the Forgotten Land required that one pay a huge price.
Not everyone was a Potions Grandmaster like Leylin, who could use potions to simulate the effects of a rank 3 spell.
*Wooh wooh!* At this moment, the skeleton flag on Barbarian Bear Shaman’s back suddenly exploded, sounding like a bugle horn.
“Awoo awoo!” The surrounding Barbarian Bears who heard these sounds immediately roared frantically, eyes turning blood-red and their offensive abilities increasing by a large amount. Noah and the other Warlocks were immediately at a disadvantage.
“They’re entering a frenzied state! Even regular Barbarian Bears are affected! How about that one?”
Leylin immediately shifted his attention to the Barbarian Bear Shaman.
Along with the sounds of the horn, the Barbarian Bear abruptly roared towards the skies, slapping its chest.
Thick veins that were like old tree roots occupied its hands, chest, and back.
*Ka-cha!* The skull of this Barbarian Bear cracked open, revealing a muscle similar to a brain that was beginning to glow with warmth.
“Awoo!” Under its crazed roar, this Barbarian Bear Shaman’s body began to expand. Its body that was about two floors high became taller, turning into a gigantic humanoid bear-shaped monster.
Energy undulations typically produced by Crystal Phase Magi burst out from the body of this giant Barbarian Bear.
“Crystal—Crystal Phase!” Kesha looked pained.
The Barbarian Bear monster obviously did not care about that. With its paw that could cover the heavens, it swiped at her!
Under this terrifying might, the air seemed to solidify and began to attack Kesha.
With a boom, Kesha’s figure was sent flying, slamming into numerous buildings.
“Explosive Fireball!”
Countless giant fireballs exploded on the Barbarian Bear’s head, but the groove with what seemed to be a brain was not the least bit damaged. All these attacks successfully incited the fury of the Barbarian Bear monster, and attracted its attention elsewhere.
“Kesha, how is it? Are you dead yet?”
“Who asks questions like that?” Bricks exploded, and Kesha’s figure appeared.
However, she was not in a very good condition. Her clothes were tattered beyond repair, revealing dense snake scales. Kesha was now in her snake form, and not only did her Kemoyin’s Scales cover her entire body, even her pupils had elongated and turned vertical.
Even with the most powerful defensive form of Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlocks, there was a huge wound on her arm and it was slightly twisted. Even her bones had issues.
“I used a diversion technique and shifted most of the attack to my left hand.” Kesha revealed her mangled left arm and smiled wryly as she explained, “I didn’t expect that Barbarian Bear to be so fierce! It’s very dangerous today!”
To be defeated by a creature that used brute force and its physique, it was a huge blow to her.
Leylin smiled wryly and quickly pulled Kesha aside, dodging a large black foot.
*Boom!* The building from before was smashed, leaving behind a gigantic footprint.
“What we need to consider right now is how to get away from them. Besides, the support troops and Magi who we attracted before are coming this way. The traps we set up can’t hold them for too long, so we need a plan!”
Leylin quickly told Kesha, his words reaching Robin who was a distance away.
“Awoo!”
At this moment, the giant Barbarian Bear monster was already destroying everything, whether it was its ally, the Green-skinned Barbarian, fallen Magi, Warlocks of the Ouroboros Clan or even Barbarian Bear warriors, all were attacked without distinction.
“Ah!”
A Black Horrall Snake Warlock was grasped in the palm of the gigantic Barbarian Bear monster, and produced miserable shrieks of fear.
“You monster. Die!” His facial muscles twisted as he yelled, terrifying rays converging in his hands and turned into a large axe, striking down at it.
*Ka-cha!*
The axe, which had the terrifying might of a rank 3 spell made contact with the monster’s chest, and actually produced sparks.
*Boom! Boom!* The Barbarian Bear monster took two steps back, shook its head, and continued roaring.
With a swing of its arm, it threw the rank 3 Black Horrall Snake Warlock into its mouth and began to chew.
*Gachi! Gachi!*
Flesh, blood, organs and bones slid out from its mouth.
The might of those jaws, as well as its physique and sharp teeth turned the Barbarian Bear monster’s mouth into a grinder, turning the Warlock into minced meat.
“Oh no! Alfredo!”
Noah screamed. It looked like yet another Warlock from his family had died, while Robin’s expression turned as gloomy as dark waters. When he saw a few rays about to catch up to them, his eyes revealed a steely determination.
“Quick, get into the pocket dimension. I’ll bring up the rear,” he opened up his hand, “Illusory Terror!”
Formless thin lines like a large web trapped all the human grey-robed Magi within. There were even all sorts of strange laughter being produced in the air.
After that, he stood in front of the giant Barbarian Bear monster and helped Noah and the others stall for time.
“The seal spell formation is completed.” At this moment, a Warlock who had been by the dark river called out.
A scarlet rune launched from his finger and entered the whirlpool of the underground dark river.
*Pila!* A giant blue web immediately appeared on the surface of the river.
“Open!” Leylin’s eyes flickered with blue rays, his Meteor Sword streaking across with a strange arc and slashing at the web!
Black light flashed, and the blue web immediately broke apart, revealing the black entrance to the pocket dimension in the whirlpool behind it.
“Quick, quick, quick! Hurry up!” Many Warlocks immediately jumped into the whirlpool, and immediately disappeared with silver spatial rays.
“Senior Robin, let’s go!”
Leylin slashed at the area with the Meteor Sword and terrifying Kemoyin toxins appeared once more, before he unhesitatingly jumped into the whirlpool.
“Awoo!” The giant Barbarian Bear monster’s eyes glinted with intelligence, and it charged towards Robin in a frenzy.
“What a pity! This is something I only just got my hands on!”
Robin took a look at the monster and tossed a black ball at it.
*Pak!*
Countless vines appeared in mid-air, with green shoots and leaves that formed a large green web that trapped it within.
“Ball of Binding! This is a one-time use magic object passed down from ancient times. Even Crystal Phase Magi will be held back for at least a minute!” Robin sighed, and then jumped into the whirlpool.
Silver-white rays flashed, and he disappeared.
At this moment, a few splendid rays charged to the camp and the lights vanished, revealing the forms of a few people who looked terrible.
“Douglas, stop, you idiot!” A Barbarian Bear with golden fur immediately went forward and roared using a unique method.
This roaring was at a specific frequency that prevented the monster from moving.
“Looks like someone broke into the pocket dimension! I smell the disgusting scent of Warlock blood…”
The Green-skinned Barbarian leader’s nose twitched and he concluded confidently.
“The Ouroboros Clan? Even they have to abide by our rules in the Forgotten Land!” Together with these two Magi was a human Magus with a strange brand on his face that seemed like some kind of symbol.
WMW Chapter 422
The Sun’s Child
“So what now? Do we continue our chase?”
Upon hearing the howl of the Barbarian Bear, the huge monster had already returned to its original state and was currently lying on the floor, depressed.
“Or we could simply destroy this entrance!” the golden-furred Barbarian Bear proposed.
“Are you mad? It would be a waste to destroy such a good pocket dimension. Nobody will agree to it!” The Green-skinned Barbarian shook his head and continued: “Besides, those Magi can completely escape from other small cracks. This is such a silly plan!”
The Barbarian Bear groaned coldly, revealing a big flag on his back.
“Alright! Alright, currently we are allies and we need to discuss as to how we will handle our enemies!” said the human Magus as he was stuck in between the Green-skinned Barbarian and the Barbarian Bear.
“What else can we do? If we have no intentions of letting our enemies mindlessly plunder from our pocket dimension, then we must send people in! But you’ve seen their strength, we’d be sending them to their deaths!” The Green-skinned Barbarian’s eyes flashed with a tinge of helplessness.
“Then we’ll have to deploy Hydro and Crystal Phase Magi! In the worst case scenario, we just abandon our bases. First, we must gather our men here!” the human chief replied.
“Since you said so…” The Green-skinned Barbarian and Barbarian Bear chiefs looked at each other. “Then it’s settled! We will immediately send out the signal!”
……
“Is this the pocket dimension that was established by Quicksand in ancient times?” Leylin said whilst standing on a huge plain that, every now and then, emitted wisps of fog.
Leylin looked at the statistics gathered by the A.I Chip and nodded his head. “From this mapping of energy particles, the concentration here is almost the same as that of the outside world. There isn’t any impact to spells anymore!”
During the battle at the underground river, Leylin and the other Magi could not use their entire strength because of the lack of energy particles. But it was different here.
Of course, there were always two sides to a coin. With this concentration, even the Crystal Phase Magi of the other side would have their strengths restored as well, and become free of restraints.
Robin’s silhouette slowly emerged as silver rays of light flashed. He looked at his surroundings and his expression lit up, “Wonderful! These are the Purple Plains, which are not very far from the Magi buildings in the center!”
“Where do you intend to go? If we have different targets to plunder, we need to separate here!” He asked Leylin and Kesha for their opinions.
“Of course! I want to go to the core of the Magi buildings!” Leylin said with a know-it-all look on his face. The Lamia Hair was likely to be kept in the core of the pocket dimension, why would he go to other places?
“Me too!” Kesha followed.
Each pocket dimension had its own set of rules, and the resources were most plentiful at its core. Furthermore, the ruins of Magi are there, so there definitely would be storerooms and laboratories inside, making it the most sought after place.
“That’s good then! We shall go to the ruins of the central continent together, then split and start our mission when we arrive!” Robin nodded his head: “In any case, the ruins there are expansive and we can’t say for sure we won’t run into…”
There could still be remaining Magi and other creatures from the previous three forces that dwelled in the pocket dimension, and not to mention the possibility of armies chasing after them. They ought to move as a group to achieve better security to prevent any mishaps.
To make full use of time, Robin immediately announced the start of the mission.
Although they had lost two men in their lineup, the remaining ten shot out blazing rays of light from their pupils, which transformed into ten black streaks that pierced through the horizon.
*Bang!* A Green-skinned Barbarian Magus was thrown to the ground with no light in his eyes. His forehead had a massive and terrifying hole in it, and one could faintly see a portion of his brain. But it was already thoroughly destroyed and looked like a lump of starch paste.
This Green-skinned Barbarian Magus originally had rank 2 Strength. But because his brain was damaged and he did not deploy a clone seed beforehand, he was actually doomed to die.
As his body twitched, the flames of his life were slowly extinguished.
Kesha, who was beside him, took out a gold-trimmed handkerchief and cleaned her hands of the brain remnants.
“I’ve already extracted fragments of his memory. He is a sage of the Green-skinned Barbarians. This time, he came to gather potion materials and resources. According to his memory, we did not deviate far from our original path and we are almost at the core of the pocket dimension—the Quicksand ruins!” she told a bunch of Magi near her.
Their faces flashed with delight upon those words.
They had taken about two days to get to their current location. All this time, they had not only encountered scattered members of the three forces, there were also Hydro Phase Magi on their tails with orders to kill.
