Chapter 367: The World Gate IX

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Hahaha! Hurry up and get it sealed, Dark Realm!”

The demon-hunter from the Ivory Castle transformed into a tall and sturdy giant. Its body was covered with densely packed bristles as if wearing a layer of tough and substantial armor.

In the giant pit, the demon-hunter from the Ivory Castle trampled the Infernal God with a gigantic hand and let out a great laugh as its hazy grayish breath smothered the black flames of the Infernal God.

The laughter triggered soundwaves and strong wind that blew away the fog from the evaporating snow.

“Hmph! Although we have gained control over this foreign world, we cannot just seal it like that. It’s one of the Level 4 World Lords!”

The giant mirror a hundred meters wide had a gloomy atmosphere around it. The reflection of the Infernal God was continuously twisted, with fear and despair in its pale blue eyes.

The Dark Realm Mirror was the actual body of the Dark Realm Stigmata Sorcerer.

“Ahh…”

The Infernal God kept struggling in the twister of black flames. It looked up to the sky and saw the shocking power that the clan had. There were also gods from the foreign world that were extremely powerful.

“All… you are all gods of humans from the Sorcerer World? Impossible, how could such weak and tiny humans possess such… ahh…”

Suddenly, the Infernal God was drowned into rolling sand.

The Mandala Stigmata Sorceress that stood on the top of a yellow sand giant snorted in disgust. “Hmph! Here we go again! These creatures from the foreign world are really arrogant, ignorant, and boring. How could a Level 4 creature claim itself as a god.”

All official sorcerers in the sorcerer’s world had matured a lot through the years.

As they ascended from being an arrogant sorcerer-apprentice to an official sorcerer, they would have already realized how insignificant they were thus increasing their reverence and respect toward the true rules of the endless world.

Such an evolution would help sorcerers to clearly understand their position and further discover the arcane knowledge of sorcerers.

That was not the case, however, for some parts of the endless world. In these parts, the law of the jungle ruled. This wasn’t the way a sorcerer would grow.

During the time of being a sorcerer-apprentice, knowledge could only be obtained from the sorcerer-apprentices among a few major sorcerer academies. Due to differences in terms of stages of life, the official sorcerers would not interfere in the growth of a sorcerer-apprentice.

This had increased the arrogance of some of the highly ranked sorcerer-apprentices.

If these sorcerer-apprentices were to be accepted as official sorcerers, it would be beneficial to the Arcane Sorcerers, as the knowledge would remain within the sorcerer’s world and be passed on slowly.

If they were to be accepted as demon-hunters though, their knowledge would be immediately ranked up to the level of the endless world. The huge gap would eliminate most of the newly accepted demon-hunters and only truly elite sorcerers would remain.

It was also one of the biggest advantages that the sorcerer world had in the civilized world.

In contrast, the spiritual world was the opposite. Growth could only be obtained by moving up the food chain step by step while expanding the views and knowledge. There would always be a predator on top of that food chain, its only aim getting to the top and rule from there

Such a method of growth would allow one to better know their place when they were at the bottom of the food chain.

One’s enemies would reduce the moment they moved up a step in the chain.

A permanent seal would appear as soon as they acknowledged themselves as the top predator of the world, much like the passive title that Grimm obtained on the cruise when he was still a sorcerer-apprentice.

This had turned into the designation of a god. The term ‘god’ was considered as a pejorative term in the sorcerer’s world as it represented arrogance and ignorance.

Only sorcerer-apprentices that were ignorant enough would add such an inferior term before their name to show dominance.

The Hourglass Demon-Hunter that was wearing a black and white striped sorcerer’s robe stood and waited in the air. This demon-hunter was still in the form of a human sorcerer.

There were Strings of Time wrapping around the Infernal God beneath the sand.

The Strings of Time seemed to be able to turn back time, greatly reducing the Infernal God’s struggles. This had allowed the Dark Realm Stigmata Sorcerer to perfectly cast the Dark Realm Seal.

The Hourglass Demon-Hunter looked toward Grimm who had fainted on the back of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus.

Grimm was nursed by Black Isotta as his condition seemed to be really critical.

“This is unbelievable, this Level 1 Demon-Hunter has completed the Rank-1 Honor Badge mission. With this honor badge, he is considered to have completed one-fourth of the future stigmata journey and has gotten the attention of the sorcerer world’s principal.”

The Hourglass Demon-Hunter spoke calmly while reminiscing the past.

“Haha… indeed! This guy is a well-known figure among the new generations of sorcerers in the Sorcerer World. He can only wish that he will not lose his life in the demon-hunting expedition ahead, heh…”

The Ivory Castle Demon-Hunter looked as if he was a real monster, letting out a hearty joyous laugh while he exerted all his controlling power on the Infernal God.

If an invasion of the Infernal Spirit World were to occur, this would definitely be the most dangerous demon-hunter.

He was a representation of the most powerful defense while being the strongest Anatomy Refinery Sorcerer among all six Stigmata Sorcerers.

He would also be first to break into the world gate to face against the foreign world’s first round of attacks.

Such a feat was deemed unachievable for normal sorcerers.

It was a daunting task to get past the void tunnel of the world gate. The amount of pain experienced would be indescribable. The sorcerer would have to maintain the space around the tunnel while simultaneously defending resistance from the other invading worlds.

There was also a high possibility of mortality within the world gate.

“Thinking back on the days where I wanted to get the attention of the principal will…”

The Mandala stigmata sorceress was about to join into the conversation. She suddenly stopped mid-sentence, looking upwards to the world gate in the sky while she stood atop the sand giant’s head.

Boom!

Hundreds of Level 3 Acraepoid Nobles were leading tens of thousands of Level 2 Acraepoid Commanders and Level 1 Acraepoid Warriors. They rushed out from the world gate, where all the Acraepoids were shocked by the situation before them.

“Kill them all,” said the Black Isotta who had already transformed back to a human sorcerer as he stood on top of the back of the trembling Thousand-eyed Carcinus.

While the Black Isotta carefully removed the black flames from within Grimm’s body, he scanned through all the low-level creatures that came out from the world gate and calmly ordered with a Soul Echo.

He seemed to be ordering the soul slaves to perform some simple ordinary chores, much like cleaning a room or casting away flies.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The well-prepared army of demon-hunters immediately released all kinds of sorcery to attack. At the same time, the Bright Sorcerer commanded the voidships to fire the Occult Pulverizer.

The blasts from the Occult Pulverizer and the magic were fired alternately with great precision as if they were waves that endlessly brought total disparity toward the struggling Acraepoids.

A short moment later.

All Acraepoids from the Acraepoid World had been blown into tiny pieces. Regardless of rank, all had been eliminated, including highly esteemed Acraepoid Nobles that governed the entire state, Acraepoid Commanders that were respected by all, and Acraepoid Warriors that were filled with a burning desire for enhanced strength.

The Acraepoids were unable to avoid the constant onslaught of magic that had smothered the entire sky with elemental sorcery. They could only brace themselves for whatever that came their way.

The attacks from the combined sorcery and blasts from the voidships would result in them disappearing within the waves of elemental energy as soon as they were being blasted into ashes.

Acraepoids that followed them out from the world gate had no knowledge of what had happened in the Burrow World, and as soon as they came out from the gate, they ended up in a similar fate as the ones before them.

Acraepoids that had a better defense planned to retreat back to the world gate after they survived the first wave of attack.

However, they were pushed back into the elemental blasts by the Acraepoids that came from behind like a flow of torrential floodwater. They too ended up losing their lives.

It was a one-sided slaughter!

It was also a one-way ticket to death!

The void tunnel of the world gate had been first expanded by the Infernal God. It became even wider and firmer after the bunch of Acraepoids which had died contributed their souls into it. This resulted in unbelievably fast growth!

At one end of the Infernal Spirit World.

Slowly, Dark Destroyer and a few other Acraepoid Guardians that rushed toward the gate felt something wasn’t right and stopped the rest of the Acraepoids from rushing toward the world gate.

On the other end at the Burrow World.

As soon as the last batch of Acraepoids flew out from the world gate, they were shocked to see the situation before them.

There were the lucky ones.

Acraepoids that were strong defenders survived the first blast from the demon-hunters and immediately flew back into the world gate.

They were able to do so now, as there were no longer Acraepoids that would push them back out from the gate.

With the unbelievable and horrifying news from the Burrow World, they gathered all their energy and rushed back toward the Infernal Spirit World, still deeply terrified by fear.
