Chapter 837 – The Terror of the Fourth Order

Chapter 837 – The Terror of the Fourth Order

Stuart refused to make a bet with Elohim, and the powerful Fourth Order Sorcerer Emperor averted his eyes in boredom.

In his eyes, why did Saul come? Could he still leave after coming? None of these mattered.

He only needed to do his duty as the Black Flame Emperor.

Right now, there were only two empires in total on the Nefret Continent, Neverwinter Nights and Black Flame.

Unlike the puppet-like Neverwinter Nights Imperial Family, the Emperor of Black Flame was one of the only Fourth Order Sorcerers in Nefret. He had become the emperor of Black Flame since he entered the third rank, and it had been more than a hundred years today.

Although this sorcerer emperor usually didn’t take care of much, he definitely had enough control over the entire empire.

With the means of a sorcerer, it could be too easy to figure out what was in the minds of his men!
The entire Black Inferno Empire was located in the northwestern corner of the Nephrite Continent. The land area was a bit smaller than Neverwinter Nights, and the coastline wouldn’t be directly impacted by the Black Tide, so in the action against the Black Tide, the Black Inferno Empire was mainly responsible for logistics and elite support.

Coupled with the fact that the Emperor of the Black Inferno Empire, Ai Luo, was himself considered an honorary elder of the Court of Judgment, he would personally attend the Black Tide Conference, and would step in with Flim at critical moments to fight against the Black Tide that threatened the entire continent.

While the crowd was feverishly forming teams, a strong light suddenly fell from the sky.

At the same time, all the torches arranged throughout the council hall were automatically lit, and the warm yellow flames burned steadily.

The entire council hall fell silent as everyone gazed at the strong light in the center of the field.

Saul was no exception as he gazed at the bright but not blinding pillar of light.

For the first time, the light had the ability to morph, gradually turning from a pillar of light into a ball of light.

Within the light mass was a dark shadow that did not look like a human, with a twisted shape that was more like a lightning bolt.

Once the entire pillar of light had completely changed into a sphere, Saul heard a familiar voice.

“This black tide is not small, and should be the most powerful in thirty years. From now on, all adjudication courts are suspended, all adjudicators outside will return within a month, and everyone will stop their private research operations to prepare for the Black Tide in three months.”

The wizards sitting on the periphery let out a small gasp, and even Alfonso beside Saul furrowed his brows once again.

Both eyebrows were on the verge of coming together.

Frim had only announced this one thing when he arrived here, and then disappeared into a pillar of light.

Sol’s position allowed him to immediately notice that the Black Flame Emperor diagonally across the room had also disappeared at the same time.

“Two fourth order sorcerers …… seem to have other things to discuss alone.”

Unlike Saul’s flat reaction, the other sorcerers present were clearly shocked by what Frim had just announced.

Even Alfonso and Royer, who had been sitting beside Saul, were not as calm as they had been just now, and got up not knowing what to look for to discuss things.

Saul seemed to be the only one in the entire room with nothing to do.

Soon, however, Saul realized that Stuart across the room was sitting alone in the first row, just like him, with no one around him.

Saul thought of the mark that this Stuart wizard had just dropped on himself and decided to go and try and see if the other party could realize that he had found the mark.

“Hello, Stuart wizard.”

In order not to appear abrupt, Saul slowly wandered over to the other party and greeted him.

The small, small-eyed Stuart realized that the other party’s line of travel was aimed at himself as early as when Saul approached him. However, he was silent and waited until Saul opened his mouth to greet him before raising his head.

“Sorcerer Saul.” Stuart didn’t look too good at talking, “What can I do for you?”

“Neither of us have anything to do here anyway, and I heard from Alfonso that you’re good at plant-based sorcery, so I wanted to discuss the Red Sea Tree and the Black Sea Tree with you.”

The topic was a random one that Saul had found.

But Stuart was unexpectedly interested.

“You’re studying the Red Sea Tree?” Stuart’s small eyes immediately lit up. “Yeah, although that’s not what I was mainly responsible for when I came over, I’m actually still interested in it. Especially its relationship with the Black Sea Tree, with the special signs of being unable to coexist ……”

The two third-ranked sorcerers actually discussed the Red Sea Tree with great interest in the panicked council hall.

The wizards of the Court of Judgment were all rather scornful of the Black Sea Tree, because wherever the Black Sea Tree existed, the Red Sea Tree would wither.

But Stuart didn’t have this concern and talked about the Black Sea Tree with his mouth watering.

He regretted not being able to secretly hide a Black Sea Tree when the Court of Judgment cleared it, and now he could only analyze its characteristics through the information recorded in the book.

Saul originally just wanted to find a random topic to approach Stuart and test the other party, but he didn’t expect to get more and more chatty.

Just when they were in the middle of their conversation and agreed to go to Saul’s laboratory to have a look in the future, the earth suddenly trembled violently.

The sturdy council hall was not damaged by the earthquake at first.

But then, two powerful pressures fell from the sky!

Cracks appeared on the walls and floor of the entire hall at once.

“Plop!”

“Poof!”

“Poof!”

Most of the sorcerers present were actually directly pressed to the ground by the powerful pressure.

Except for the third-ranked sorcerers, everyone else was in a sorry state.

Even Saul felt a sense of suffocation, trying to breathe, but his internal organs didn’t quite obey, and his body was in vague pain around him, as if he had suffered internal injuries.

On the contrary, Stuart’s gown on his body rose up with black flames, which seemed to help him resist the powerful pressure, and his face did not change much.

Fortunately, the two powerful pressures quickly disappeared, and Saul’s magic power boiled within his body, quickly repairing the damage done to his internal organs and muscles.

However, the other second-order wizards and first-order wizards were not as relaxed as Saul.

Several of them turned pale, as if they were going to faint to death in the next second.

The entire council hall had also become tattered, with falling walls and flotsam from damaged seats everywhere.

“What’s going on?” Saul tilted his head and muttered, “Could it be that two fourth-rank wizards fought?”

Stuart was not affected, but his face did not look too good.

He did not answer Saul immediately, but waited for a few moments and realized that there was no more spiritual pressure falling in the follow-up before saying in a low voice, “There might have been an argument.”

“To this extent, it’s all just an argument?” Saul sighed, “Then it’s fortunate that it was just an argument.”

Although Saul had seen the battle between the fourth-ranked sorcerer Ophelia and the bloodied fifth-ranked Floco, that was just a glance from afar, and was not affected by the aftershocks of the battle between the two sides.

And this time, he was the one who truly felt the terror of a fourth-rank sorcerer.

“The higher you go, the more you can realize that the gap between each rank of sorcerer is really big, and it’s getting bigger and bigger!”

The terrifying pressure of a fourth-order sorcerer didn’t make Saul feel fearful, instead it inspired his thirst for advancement even more.

“The Symphony of Fate that has been remodeled and designed by me is theoretically able to continue advancing to the sixth rank. But even if I only advance to the fourth rank with the help of the Symphony of Fate, my strength should still be very close to the fifth rank ……”

“At that time will I …… be able to crush these two terrifying fourth ranks?”
