Approaching the black vortex, the Lord of Souls stared angrily at Black Soluo. If he discovered that Black Soluo was fleeing without a fight, regardless of Black Soluo's identity, he would definitely unleash the most brutal attack on Black Soluo.
But when they saw Black Soluo holding the still-living Sword Bearer, they stepped aside, revealing the black vortex behind him.
Capturing the Stigmata Wizard alive is a repeated order from the Supreme Lord; this mission is of the highest level.
Its level is even higher than the mission to completely annihilate all the Stigmata Wizard.
As long as the Lord of Souls captures the Stigmata Wizard alive, they have no right to stop him and must let him pass quickly.
Black Soluo overtook the Lord of Souls guarding the black vortex at top speed, still feeling the sharp aura of the Sword of Winter on his back, and plunged headfirst into the black vortex in an awkward, tail-between-his-legs state.
Only when he could no longer sense the sword energy of the Sword of Winter did Black Soluo finally breathe a sigh of relief. According to the information Leo had obtained from the wizarding civilization, the Sword of Winter was known for its Supreme Lord like the Breath Frenzy Stigmata Great Wizard.
Moreover, among all wizards, including the Supreme Lord, the Sword of Winter is renowned for its unparalleled attack power!
And no one has ever refuted this!!
Although this sword is no longer in the hands of the Supreme Lord, it is still wielded by a Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard, who can slice the Lord of Souls like a tender cucumber.
It's unclear how long the remaining four thousand-plus Lord of Souls can withstand the onslaught of the Sword of Winter.
It's unlikely to last long. When the number of Lord of Souls becomes too large, the first to succumb to such heavy casualties will be the Returning Breath World.
If he hides for a while, he can escape this storm. The Stigmata Wizard is already at his last gasp, relying entirely on the Sword of Winter to hold him up. Once the Lord of Souls stops attacking, the Stigmata Wizard will seize the opportunity to escape.
Black Soluo darted rapidly through the black vortex, unaware of where he was on the other side; this was his first time here.
When light appeared at the end of the black vortex, his eyes lit up, and he had already emerged from the black vortex!
Breathing in the air, feeling the breath—this is actually a vast world.
Beside the black vortex were quite a few... slaves?
Black Soluo paused, looking at these freely moving, self-aware creatures, wondering if he was seeing things.
Shouldn't they be transported to Returning Breath World Will? How come there are slaves here?
Black Soluo, experiencing self-doubt once again,
That's right, this is indeed a world shrouded in the Returning Breath World Will.
But why slaves instead of puppets?
Slavery has never existed in the Returning Breath World. Unlike the control that Stigmata Wizard exert over lower-level creatures, no Lord of Souls manipulates lower-level creatures in the same way as Stigmata Wizard. They only absorb and control the essence of the soul.
This has nothing to do with whether or not one studies; rather, the Lord of Souls is to enhance their own strength by controlling the puppet!
The presence of slaves means there's Stigmata Wizard here!!
'Another Stigmata Wizard has betrayed us?'
This is Black Soluo's second reaction.
But I haven't heard of it. Not only in the Wizard World, but also in the Returning Breath World.
With the war escalating to this point, if there truly were Stigmata Wizard betraying the cause, it would be impossible to conceal; it would have been public knowledge long ago.
Who are the Stigmata Wizard in this world?
"My lord, please hand over the captured Stigmata Wizard to me, and I will pass him on to my master."
As Blackso was engulfed in the mental storm of Lo, a group of level-three slaves respectfully approached Black Soluo and pointed at the heavily injured and unconscious Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard Black Soluo had captured.
"Who is your master? What gives you, a mere level three slave, the right to take my spoils?"
Black Soluo's eyes were ferocious. His claws stepped on the Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard, and with a bit of Black Soluo's strength, the claws tore half of the Sword Bearer's body apart. Even though the Sword Bearer was in a deep coma, he was still in excruciating pain and his whole body convulsed uncontrollably.
"Sir, please be gentle."
Seeing the Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard's injuries worsen, the level-three slave was terrified and immediately stopped Black Soluo's actions, fearing that the enraged Black Soluo would trample the Sword Bearer to death.
Are you teaching me how to do things?
Black Soluo stared at the level-three slaves before him, angrily rebuking them. His aura emanated from him, and the thick stench of blood caused the level-three slaves to retreat in terror.
"My lord, I dare not, but my master is not in this world. He left this world half a year ago, and the Stigmata Wizard sent here are all arranged by us." The level three slave said, trembling uncontrollably as he lay on the ground.
"Take me to see how you've arranged things. I don't know what your master was thinking, letting you weaklings guard so many Stigmata Wizard Stigmata Wizard. What will you do to stop them if they regain their strength?"
Black Soluo was extremely angry. He then ordered the level-three slaves to lead the way to check the location where the Stigmata Wizard were being held.
Faced with Black Soluo's demands, not a single one of the three classes of slaves stood up to lead the way; they could only continue explaining.
"My lord, our master and your Supreme Lord have an agreement that no Lord of Souls may inquire about matters here. What I just said has already revealed the secret. If you want to see the specific location of the prisoners, you can't do it even if you kill us."
"I see."
Black Soluo continued to scratch the ground with his claws, the sharp claws carving deep trenches tens of meters deep into the earth.
Black Soluo remained silent, his aura surging continuously, like the calm before a storm. The level three slaves dared not rise under Black Soluo 'Black Soluo intimidating presence, burying their heads in the ground and waiting for him to speak.
The other Lord of Souls didn't concern themselves with what was happening here. Even those who were curious would only ask a few more questions, but none of them asked as many as this one.
"Since it was ordered by the Supreme Lord, it must be a matter of principle. Just pretend I didn't say anything. You can take this Stigmata Wizard."
Black Soluo seemed to be intimidated by the title of Supreme Lord. He immediately withdrew the aura that was about to erupt from his body, and with a push of his claws, he kicked the heavily injured and dying Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard in front of the Level 3 slave.
Seeing the Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard so badly injured, the level-three slaves quickly swarmed forward, some transferring energy, others healing his wounds, not daring to let the Sword Bearer die at their hands.
The level-three slave also glanced at the problematic Lord of Souls out of the corner of his eye, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him leave the black vortex without any hesitation.
The fact that this person was able to leave so decisively suggests that they were genuinely only curious about this place and had no other intentions.
Unbeknownst to them, in the shadows behind them, a tiny, black creature, no bigger than a fist, was observing the entire world.
This little black creature is none other than Yaoyao!!
From the moment Black Soluo was transported to this vast world through the black vortex, Leo had been intently observing it.
Just like Black Soluo's expression when he first saw the slaves, he was completely stunned, genuinely believing he had been transported back to a world shrouded in the Wizard Will.
After further perception and confirmation, it was indeed found that they were still within the sphere of influence of the Returning Breath World Will.
However, one thing is certain: the being behind this, capable of controlling the World Lord, must be Stigmata Wizard. Only Stigmata Wizard could control slaves so perfectly.
Black Soluo's conversation with the level-three slaves was all about getting information out of them, trying to determine which Stigmata Wizard had betrayed the Wizard World and accomplished a feat that neither of the two major World Cluster had achieved.
However, these level-three slaves had clearly been instructed beforehand, and they didn't say a word, revealing nothing about the identity of the Stigmata Wizard behind them.
If an ordinary Lord of Souls were to reach this point, they would give up.
But who is Black Soluo?
He is Leo's clone.
Leo is Level-Five Stigmata Wizard with Yaoyao as his soulmate.
After realizing he couldn't get any information out of these level-three slaves, Leo sent Yaoyao over directly.
The moment Black Soluo feigned a burst of anger, rendering the level-three slaves completely unaware, he tore a small opening in the Shadow Plane Shadow Plane, allowing Yaoyao to successfully sneak in.
Black Soluo returned to the battlefield. As long as he didn't rush in to his death, he didn't need to worry about his safety. Based on the time he spent traversing the black vortex and staying here, it was enough for the Lord of Souls to be defeated before the Sword of Winter.
Leo focused his gaze on Yaoyao, his consciousness descending upon Yaoyao. He watched as the level-three slaves treated the Sword Bearer's injuries and then placed multiple seals on him.
These seals are all sealing spells from the Wizard System. Although they are not as advanced as Energy Sealing Technique, they are still spells that only high-level Stigmata Wizard possess.
Leo was now absolutely certain that the person behind the control of that World Lord was none other than the Stigmata Wizard!
Yaoyao in the shadows of the Level 3 slaves, Yao Yao could track them with the ease of drinking water and eating, given the nature of life within his Shadow World.
The level-three slaves were extremely fast, dragging the Sword Bearer's body to a huge cave in just half an hour.
This is a massive cavern formed by hollowing out an entire mountain range; to some lower-level life forms, it could be considered a miniature world!
The level-three slave, with practiced ease, carried the Sword Bearer to a brightly lit plaza.
This plaza is filled with a dense concentration of energy, intricate magical runes, and... those Stigmata Wizard who have already been captured alive!!
Through Yaoyao's perspective, there are 658 Stigmata Wizard here, all of whom are sealed in the square!
The level-three slaves quickly left after placing the Sword Bearer on the plaza. Yaoyao had already moved from their shadows into the shadows inside the cave, carefully observing every detail of the plaza.
If I'm not mistaken, the secret to controlling the World Lord lies within the complex magic array beneath the plaza.
Just as Leo was frantically recording the magic array through Yaoyao's vision, a dull figure appeared in the square.
Both Leo and Yaoyao nearly cried out in surprise when they saw the figure; Yaoyao even fell out of the shadows.
"How is this possible??"
