After defeating three six-winged Burning Angels, Link quickly left the scene . Half a minute later, he arrived at the new intersection between the Yan Empire and Aragu Empire: Raging Dragon River .

Crash, whoosh . The river's cras.h.i.+ng waves were thunderous like thousands of galloping horses . Standing on the riverbank, he could feel the ground trembling .

Upriver and downriver of the Raging Dragon River were vastly different . There were many cliffs and water was abundant, thus creating this scene as it tumbled down .

The river wasn't just fast, but it was also very wide . From what Link could see, the surface was at least half a mile wide . Steam rose up from the surface, hiding the river .

Link sensed carefully and got a basic idea of the Raging Dragon River's secret . He couldn't help but sigh . There are signs of Mana operation . This is a perfect fusion of magic and natural principles . What a great representation of man and nature as one .

As soon as he thought this, he felt a slight energy surge from the near distance . It wasn't malevolent though . He had an idea of the comer's ident.i.ty .

Link stood by the river and waited .

A few seconds later, dark blue light pierced through the heavy mist and landed by the river . It was a Warrior in dark blue crystal armor . Seeing Link, he saluted in the Araguan way and smiled . "Master, you have great vision . "

His smile wasn't submissive . His crystal-blue eyes sparkled with confidence .

Seeing the man's appearance, Link already knew his ident.i.ty . Since the man called him "Master," he guessed that the man also knew him . They hadn't met before, so the Snow Mountain Archmage must have told him .

This meant that the Archmage already knew of his arrival . Similarly, the Inferno Archmage must know too . Neither had appeared yet, so this could only mean that the Snow Mountain Archmage was fighting the Inferno Archmage so he couldn't come .

Thinking of this, Link knew that he should be safe now .

With his current power, other than people above the Archmage level, he didn't fear any Aragu Warriors . Even if many people surrounded him and he couldn't beat them all, he could use spatial magic and escape easily .

He returned the Frost Warrior's salute . "I heard that there are six powerful Frost Warriors in the Aragu Empire . Each one has top skills in the realm . May I know your name?"

The Aragu Empire and Yan Empire were opposites . The Yan Empire had Lava Knights while Aragu had Frost Knights . They were at the same level .

Hearing Link's words, the Frost Warrior puffed up his chest even more and said seriously, "I am Therodeau Heather, the Absolute Zero . The Snow Mountain Archmage, Grandmaster Iyr told me about your arrival and guided me here . You came much sooner than I'd expected . "

"Grandmaster" was another name for Archmages because once someone reached Level-19, they would start a clan and have many students .

"Oh, you're Therodeau . I brought the thing . Do I give it to you or hand it to the Archmage?" Link asked . The Divine Fragment was difficult . If he could, he would definitely toss it to the Frost Knight and get out of there .

But reality disappointed him . Therodeau shook his head . "The Grandmaster told me that you must give it to him personally . Our responsibility is to escort you there safely . "

This made Link furrow his brows . "Is the journey dangerous?"

If they were regular people, the Yan Empire might send someone powerful into the Aragu Empire to attack them . However, they were at the top level, and the Aragu Realm was their turf . How could anything happen?

Therodeau shook his head . "I don't see any danger, but Grandmaster said that he feels a surge of darkness is corroding the realm . This darkness will cover the sky and earth, destroying the sun and stars . Unfortunately, he's caught up with the Inferno Archmage . Otherwise, he would definitely come welcome you personally . "

This deepened Link's brows . "Surge of darkness? Cover the sky and earth, destroying the sun and stars? Is there more information?"

Therodeau didn't reply immediately . Looking at the Slanda Plains behind Link, he said, "Master, it's not safe here . How about we cross the river first? I will explain to you on the road . "

"Sure . "

Therodeau whistled . The Raging Dragon River instantly calmed a lot . The mist that had covered the surface now showed a clear pa.s.sageway .

"Follow me . Be careful not to touch the mist . The Grandmaster created it personally, and it's extremely cold . It can freeze anything, even s.p.a.ce . That's why transmissions are forbidden . " With that, Therodeau activated his power and started walking through the water .

Every time he stepped, the water underfoot would turn to ice . With hard ground under him, he could jump forward . The ice would then get swallowed by the rapid current . On the other hand, Link used Void Walk to float behind . His expression was calm, but his heart was in tumult now—not because of the Raging Dragon River but because of the Snow Mountain Archmage's words .

Archmages had extremely powerful souls . Their knowledge of spatial and chronological principles was far beyond Link's grasp . The Snow Mountain Archmage had seen the darkness and described it as destroying the sun and stars . In other words, the realm would be destroyed .

Even more incredible was that the Inferno Archmage didn't feel anything about the darkness and still wanted to fight . Didn't he care that after the realm was destroyed, he wouldn't become a G.o.d anymore?

Also, what kind of darkness could destroy a realm?

Many possibilities instantly flashed through Link's mind .

Many possibilities instantly flashed through Link's mind .

The first was the Sovereign of Light from the Fedaro Realm . He was the only true G.o.d Link knew . He had the motivation and the ability .

The second was a magic accident . An accident had happened in Firuman that had split the realm into two . There was also the World Tree that could fuse the realms . If the tree made a mistake, it could also spell disaster .

The third… the third was a bit less certain . The Sea of Void was boundless . No one could say it wasn't possible for some terrifying G.o.d to jump out somewhere .

Deep in thought, Link arrived at the other side of the river with Therodeau .

Rather than Raging Dragon Fortress, it was a remote place . The fortress was a few miles away, and Link could see it easily .

"This is a secret mission," Therodeau explained . "There's no need to let the mortals know . If they know, more trouble will appear . "

Link agreed . "Then where are we going?" he asked .

Therodeau whistled again . A while later, a figure appeared . They were also clad in blue crystal armor, but their figure was more graceful . They had long silver hair too . Getting closer, Link discovered that it was a female Warrior . She was around five feet and had a slim body for a Warrior . The huge sword on her back looked jarring in comparison .

Other than the long silver hair in the ponytail, this female Warrior also had dark blue eyes . They were deeper than Therodeau's, and her gaze was more composed . As for her looks…she was better than the average, but she couldn't be compared to the Red Dragon Queen or Celine .

"This is Lily, the Ice Queen and general of the Frost Knights . She is my commander . "

Link was a bit shocked . He didn't think that this slim woman with the same name as his Tower Spirit would be the general of the Frost Knights . She didn't look like it at all .

"This is Lily, the Ice Queen and general of the Frost Knights . She is my commander . "

Link was a bit shocked . He didn't think that this slim woman with the same name as his Tower Spirit would be the general of the Frost Knights . She didn't look like it at all .

Lily smiled . Her features expanded, reminding one of a snowy plain under the sunlight . "Ferde Lord, it is my honor to meet you . I've heard many legendary stories about you . "

Her voice was clear like a breeze that brushed past the snowy plain . It boosted Link's energy and left a deep impression .

Link nodded inwardly . With such a powerful psychological contagion, she must be at the pinnacle of Level-16 . Her combat ability must be shocking too . No wonder she led the Frost Knights .

"They're all insignificant experiences . Should we go now?" Link didn't want to waste a second .

"Of course . Therodeau and I will accompany you . Please follow me . " Lily led Link while Therodeau stayed in the back . The three instantly started traveling .

On the road, Lily explained, "Master Iyr is at the Fortress of Eternal Winter in the northeast . He is around 2000 miles from us . If we travel at full speed, it will take around three hours . "

"I see . " Link nodded . Two thousand miles wasn't far .

After that, they traveled in silence . An hour pa.s.sed and the three were on the Verdant Plains in the heart of Aragu . There were no abnormal signs .

Because it was the heart of the empire, the three were slightly relaxed . But then Lily stopped abruptly at the front .

"What… That is…"

Link looked over and saw someone familiar .

After defeating three six-winged Burning Angels, Link quickly left the scene . Half a minute later, he arrived at the new intersection between the Yan Empire and Aragu Empire: Raging Dragon River . Crash, whoosh . The rivers cras.h.i.+ng waves were thunderous like thousands of galloping horses . Standing on the riverbank, he could feel the ground trembling .
