Azrael looked at the Death Relic in his hand, a flicker of scorching heat flashing through his eyes.
For this one item, he—or rather, their entire lineage—had been planning for a very long time.
After all, to obtain a Death Relic, the first step was to find the Chaos Interlayer and determine the range of the Spatial Fold Beasts' activities.
This was not particularly troublesome for a Level 8 Wizard. The only difficulty was the enormous amount of time required. According to what Azrael knew, his lineage had spent hundreds of thousands of years finding the corresponding coordinates. But the truly difficult part was the second step: dealing with the Spatial Fold Beasts.
One could tell from these creatures' mirroring ability that Spatial Fold Beasts were, by nature, extremely adept at bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Because Level 8 Wizards would never become targets for their mirroring, once Spatial Fold Beasts sensed a Level 8 existence, they would immediately hide themselves.
With the Chaos Interlayer's unique spatial environment and the Spatial Fold Beasts' special state of existence, even Level 8 Wizards found it difficult to locate them. Therefore, if they wanted to deal with the Spatial Fold Beasts, Level 8 Wizards absolutely could not appear. Only then would the Spatial Fold Beasts emerge on their own.
Then they could find a way to kill them.
But the problem lay precisely there.
Once someone was mirrored, it was practically an impossible task for that individual to defeat the Spatial Fold Beast.
Azrael was already one of the foremost geniuses among the Scarlet Brood's Level 7 Wizards. If he encountered a Spatial Fold Beast, at most he could only ensure that he would not die.
So under normal circumstances, this was an almost unsolvable cycle.
Until Azrael met Viola.
