Ch. 268You Will Be Enemies of the World
Ryan prepared for the Deep Blue Secret Realm and secretly joined the Umbral Expanse delegation as it traveled to the Five Finger Mountain Peaks. There, Wizard Umbraly Light explained that the apprentices would face the Secret Realm alone and warned that its world would turn against them.
- Ryan collected potions and letters from Freddy and Mona, checked his Shadow Robe's spells, and prepared the Golden Pocket Watch and Rusted Iron Sword for the journey.
- Ryan visited Maple Leaf Forest, sensed a figure in a yellow Wizard Robe near Heart Dream Lake, and vanished without a sound.
- Wizard Umbraly Light gathered the Umbral Expanse delegation at Star Moon Lake, where Polaris arrived and declared that the last participant was already there.
- The Star Moon Archway teleported the delegation to the Five Finger Mountain Peaks, where Ryan remained unnoticed among the apprentices.
- Wizard Umbraly Light explained that outside wizards could not aid them inside the Deep Blue Secret Realm and that the realm's native lifeforms would oppose them as the Wizard World Will favored their advancement.
- Wizard Umbraly Light activated the array device and told the apprentices, "Good luck. You will be enemies of the world!"
