Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 1196 "Liberation Ceremony"

Unlike when he was in the Source World, in the Akasha Continent, Lige can easily cross the plane and return to the outside world from the secluded place by using the super-level magic [Make a Wish to the Stars].

After all, the Akashian continent is not like the Source World. Firstly, there is no power of the three holy swords to block it, and secondly, the outside world and the hidden place are not like the Source and the Abyss, which belong to the inside and outside of the world.

The source and the abyss are truly separated by a dimension, and it is extremely difficult to enter and exit each other.

The hidden land is at best a different space. Although it is an independent space, it is still attached to the Akasha continent.

Therefore, if the Source and the Abyss want to have exchanges with each other, it often costs a great price, especially after the three holy swords blocked the Abyss. The price was so high that even the Abyss only dared to launch a large-scale invasion to destroy "that empire".

With such a huge price and such a strong barrier, even with the power of [Make a Wish upon a Star], even if it consumes five levels of experience points as a price, it is impossible to easily open up the passage between the two.

But the situation is different between the Akashic continent and the hidden land.

It was just a teleportation from an alien space to the outside world. Even the temple could do it through a large-scale teleportation magic circle. Lige only needed to consume some experience points and he could easily do the same thing.

Returning to the outside world from the secluded place is not as difficult as arriving at the secluded place from the outside world. Otherwise, the price Lige would have to pay might be even greater, but it can still be done after all.

It can be said that if it were not for the purpose of not wasting precious experience points, Lige could have directly used [Make a Wish upon the Stars] to teleport to the hidden place without having to look for the teleportation magic circle in the Casafegel Mountains.

In this case, after Lige activates the [Make a Wish to the Stars], he can naturally make a wish and easily bring everyone back to the Akasha continent.

"Zheng!"

On a border line of the Kingdom of Queen Thistis, a burst of magical light appeared without warning.

Liger, Liz, Euroelle, Shardi, and Lilith, a group of five people, quickly took shape in the magic light and appeared here.

The magic's brilliance faded away, and Lige also felt the grace on his back getting slightly hot, as if something was being taken away.

Lige knew that this was the price of activating [Make a Wish upon a Star], the feeling caused by the experience points being consumed.

Just as Lige was silently feeling the reaction from Enhui on his back, Liz beside him suddenly let out a small cry of surprise.

"what is that?"

The little princess's surprised voice instantly attracted Lige's attention.

"This is……?"

Li Ge subconsciously raised his head, and then his pupils condensed slightly.

The scenery that caught his eyes was not only the monotonous ice and snow in the northern polar region of the continent, but also an incredible scene.

It turned out that the snowstorms that often raged across the entire northern polar region had stopped, which was rare.

The sky was no longer white, nor were there any gray clouds, but a clear blue sky.

However, the clear sky seemed to have turned into an invisible lake, and regular ripples appeared on it.

The ripples were like some kind of waves and also like some kind of vibrations. They appeared in the sky one circle after another, and quickly spread out around, gradually spreading to the entire world.

"What an amazing power..."

Lige opened up a transparent world and glimpsed a magical power that was so huge that it was unbelievable.

The magic power was like waves surging in the sky, sometimes coming from the east, sometimes from the west, sometimes from the south, and even appeared in the north of the continent, spreading to the other three directions.

"What kind of magic is this?" Lilith murmured in astonishment, "Where on earth does such a huge amount of magic power come from, and what is it going to be used for?"

Yuloailie also stared intently at the circles of magic ripples in the sky, her eyes becoming slightly more solemn.

“…Has it already started?”

Among all the people, only Shardi remained calm, looking at the wonder in the sky and whispering like this.

Lige immediately looked at her.

"Is this the result of the so-called liberation ritual you mentioned?"

Liger asked out loud.

"That should be right." Xiaerti said calmly: "Although I have not seen what the liberation ceremony looks like after it is launched, according to "Fire Princess", once this ceremony officially begins, the entire continent will become the venue of the ceremony."

"All the ruins with technological crystals that we have visited before will become a super-large ritual device after the ritual is launched, forming the basis of the liberation ritual."

"The strange magic wave phenomenon we are seeing now is actually erupting from those ancient ruins."

"In the four kingdoms of Jinas, Rebru, Vokri, and the Kingdom of Queen Distis, as well as many small countries on the continent, and even places like the neutral zone, as long as there are ancient ruins, they are all erupting with huge magic power like they are now."

"When the magic power reaches its peak, it will quickly spread out in all directions and intersect with the magic power waves spreading from other places."

"The magic power converges with each other to form magic nodes, and then passes through the ritual tower set up by the "Giant Soldier", and finally it will be adjusted into magic circles that are connected to each other."

This is a magical ritual that covers the entire Akashic continent.

When it is activated, the sky will become a magical node of ritual magic circles that intersect with each other, and the earth will become an altar under the resonance of the super-large ritual installations formed by ancient relics.

At this moment, the entire Akashic continent will become a super-large ritual market to host this liberation ceremony.

"Using the continent... as an altar?"

Liz and Lilith were both frightened.

This is simply an unprecedented big deal!

"...Such a large-scale magic ritual is actually just used to release the power of a monster?"

Li Ge frowned, with infinite doubts in his heart.

This doubt actually existed as early as when Sharti revealed the plan of the Temple.

According to Shardi, the underground monster Arakulon is a sacred beast worshipped by the temple. It has enormous power hidden in its body. Once released, it will be able to ravage the entire continent.

But where did such a terrible power come from? Sharti did not explain clearly.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to say it, but she herself doesn’t know.

According to her, the sacred beast already existed before she joined the temple, as if it should be worshipped by the temple as a matter of course. The leader "Tianshu" never mentioned how it came about or why it became the sacred beast worshipped by the temple.

In the ancient books that Lige was looking for, there were very few descriptions about the underground monster Yaraculon, and the descriptions were vague, as if it was deliberately concealed, or it was regarded as a taboo that was not allowed to be recorded.

Therefore, Lige only knew that the underground monster Yarakulon was an ancient monster that had existed in the ancient magic civilization period. It had been wandering around underground on the continent. Every time it surfaced, it would swallow anything within its reach with its huge mouth, including but not limited to towns and cities on the surface.

The ancient ruins in Yaraculon's body were also swallowed in this way and then located there, looking like a natural disaster. There is no data or intelligence showing how this monster appeared and what its origins are.

Now, in order to release the hidden power in this demon beast, it is necessary to turn the entire Akashic continent into an altar and a ritual market...?
Is such a big move really just to liberate a so-called hidden force?
"There must be some secret here that I don't know."

Liger was very sure of this.

However, now doesn't seem to be the time for him to think about the problem with peace of mind.

"coming."

At a certain moment, Xiaerti suddenly spoke and said this, which startled everyone.

"W-what's coming?"

The little princess was a little nervous and uneasy.

But she soon realized what Charles meant.

"Rumble..."

A rumbling sound suddenly appeared, and a black shadow came from the other side of the snow and ice.

The true form of the black shadows are monsters.

Some looked like polar bears, some looked like snow wolves, some looked like mosasaurs, and some looked like snow monsters... Monsters unique to the northern polar regions appeared in groups, forming a scene of thousands of beasts galloping, shaking this land of ice and snow, and making the dust waves formed by the fine snow roll out behind them like smoke dragons.

"Roar--"

"Ow—"

Roars that sounded like both anger and madness began to appear like an avalanche, shaking the ice and snow.

"Owner!"

Lilith's expression changed, and she rushed in front of Lige without hesitation and blocked him behind her.

Liz and Euroelle also reacted, one hurriedly drew out the Sword of Moslo, and the other had a blank expression.

"what happened?"

Lige's frown deepened, and at the right moment, he heard Sharti's voice in his ears.

"The launch of the liberation ceremony will cause abnormalities in the flow of magic power across the entire continent."

"The awakening of the sacred beast will also cause the monsters to lose their minds and go into a state of riot."

"It's not just here. Monsters across the entire continent should be like this right now, completely out of control."

This is undoubtedly a disaster.

But this is not the case with the temple.

For the Temple, the rioting monsters should also be a force that they intend to bring under control.

To sweep across the entire continent and defeat all countries, not only the power of holy beasts is needed, but also the army.

The monsters are the army that the Temple intends to send out.

You know, the ancient magic civilization was destroyed by monsters!

"[Magic Most Powerful: Hellfire Wall]!"

Just when the rioting monsters were about to overwhelm Lige and his party like an avalanche, Lilith finally couldn't hold back and took the first step.

"boom!"

The dark magic flame suddenly appeared in front of Lige and others, turning into a wall of fire.

It is a black flame that will not cause external injuries but directly burns the vitality.

"Roar!"

"Ow!"

One by one, the polar monsters rushed into the dark wall of fire without any slack, letting out cries of extreme pain.

The monsters, whose very lives were being burned, screamed and fell one by one in the black flames.

However, more monsters became even crazier in the pain, and they mercilessly stepped on the corpses of their companions, crushing them into a bloody mess while rushing out from the dark wall of fire.

"Oh!"

At this moment, Liz and Euroelle rushed out at the same time.

One of them held a dazzling golden holy sword, and the other held a dark ominous magic sword. They rushed into the group of monsters like a tiger into a flock of sheep and started killing them indiscriminately.

Sword lights flashed like a waterfall, bursting out wherever the two girls passed, interweaving into a storm, cutting off the roaring monsters that were attacking them.

The two girls, who were also from the Reinnail clan and were hailed as descendants of heroes, charged into the group of monsters as if they were in an empty space.

"So strong..."

Seeing this scene, Xiaerti, who had been following Lige, brightened his eyes.

She knew Liz's identity and also knew that Euroaili was Lige's attendant.

But she didn't know that these two people actually possessed such strength.

"Fire Princess" had collected information on this before, but Shardi just glanced over it and did not remember it.

Because her target from the beginning to the end was Lige.

It was not until now that Xiaerti discovered that the two servants around Lige were so powerful.

Needless to say, the strength displayed casually by Euroelle made even Shardi feel threatened.

As for Liz... the little princess's strength has been growing exponentially since her bloodline awakened, and she is no longer the same as before.

In Lige's words, Liz has almost reached the peak of Lv.7 and is about to have combat power comparable to Lv.8!

With the help of the Sword of Mosiluo, the little princess's strength is so great that even Shardi would be excited to see it.

In comparison, Lilith, who is also at the level of a Lv.7 Sword Master, could only be considered mediocre in the eyes of Shardi. The most she used was a little more unusual magic, and her fighting style was much more bloody and cruel.

Isn't it? Seeing Liz and Euloelle rushing into the group of monsters and killing them, Lilith also rushed over with bloodshot eyes.

Her slender hands were like sharp claws. Every time she reached out, she would aim at the chest of a monster, pierce through it, and dig out its heart.

Fortunately, she didn't eat it on the spot, otherwise even Shardi would be horrified.

As for now...

"I'll go too."

As if Xiaerti had found some motivation, he drew out the sword of inheritance and walked forward.

Only Lige was left standing there, ignoring the ferocious group of monsters.

Looking at the ripples of magic that kept appearing in the sky, Lige's eyes flickered slightly.

"It seems that we have to go back as soon as possible."
