Chapter 556: Chapter 510: Slaying Heavenly Enlightenment!

“Fischer…”

An elderly spellcaster draped in a profound blue robe stood majestically, shining like the brightest star, isolating all the hustle around him.

His robe was a blue almost as deep as the midnight ocean, profound and mysterious, swaying gently even without any wind as if it held endless magic power.

His eyes, like two everlasting springs, twinkled with wisdom and the light of insight.

“Huh, an old man who looks rather dull has arrived,” Hecate narrowed her eyes; his presence wasn’t foretold in her prophecies.

Darren’s expression immediately became stiff, for this elder was the legendary spellcaster with the most extensive knowledge of the Extraordinary Bequest, the strongest man among the Six Ancient Libraries, mastering nearly all the magical knowledge of the world, from ancient spells to lost secret techniques.

Merely with his profound understanding and power over magic, the curator of the Sapphire Library could turn the tides of any battle.

Under immense pressure, Darren finally couldn’t help but reveal an almost exaggerated smile, nervously saying, “Ha, a very terrifying person has come. However, this lizard’s transmission of such a formidable person must have consumed quite a bit of spiritual power, right?”

The situation instantly reversed.

Even though the strength of Ether Dragon was among the strongest in the Lower Level of Apocalypse, with Chris’s power, he shouldn’t be at a disadvantage—indeed, he might have a great chance of winning.

Yet, Ether Dragon’s “Space Summoning” left Darren somewhat astonished.

Chris remained silent, showing no sign of nervousness or fear.

“Curator.”

The old man gazed at Chris and others. He first softly chanted an ancient protection spell, weaving an invisible shield around himself where virtually all attacks would vanish upon contact.

Then, with a slight movement of his fingers, streaks of brilliant blue light tore through the night sky, turning into icicles, fireballs, and even lightning storms, striking the Fischer family members with precise accuracy.

That barrage was powerful enough to effortlessly destroy an army.

The most shocking part was when he opened a portal to anotherworld and summoned ancient elemental creatures to boost his fighting prowess.

Dozens of Elemental Lords roared out, each possessing the powerful strength of a Monarch Level!

The members of the Fischer family immediately responded, with Chris naturally leading the charge; without him, even this mere probing would have resulted in casualties amongst the others and the dragon.

“Excellent! Let us together exterminate these heretics who serve the End!”

Joy gleamed in the eyes of Ether Dragon. The Sapphire Library’s curator was even more potent than himself, and with the cooperation of two beings from the Apocalypse, they could exhibit far more power than a single one could.

However, just then, the Sapphire Curator suddenly lifted his head to look at the dome, his gaze seemingly piercing through it, staring at the black light that hung high in the Spirit Realm.

“Fischer… The End… The End… It is not yet time…”

The Sapphire Curator murmured to himself, suddenly speaking in a tone neither sad nor joyful:

“Fischer, servants of the End… I didn’t expect to encounter you here, though the prophecy’s time has not yet come. Maybe fate has a ripple in its flow.”

“No matter.”

With a deep, commanding chant, the Sapphire Curator slowly raised the magic wand in his hand—a wand carved from millennium-old wood, topped with a dazzling sapphire, encasing starry constellations, and accumulating endless energy.

As the wand waved, the surrounding air began to tremble violently. Blue magic power surged out of him like a tide, quickly spreading across the entire battlefield.

“Old friend, I didn’t expect you to summon me here… Unfortunately, I’m truly sorry, but I am not ready to face the End just yet. The prophecy spell tells me that victory isn’t mine today.”

“All of this is the choice of fate.”

Just as everyone thought the old man was about to release his formidable power, an unexpected event occurred: after speaking those words, the curator of the Sapphire Library simply vanished, disappearing without a trace from the Spirit Realm!

Karl paused slightly; he had been prepared to bring down a Divine Envoy, using the life of many devout followers to try and eliminate the old man directly, yet hadn’t expected his opponent to have such foresight to quickly leave the battlefield.

Now, with the number of devout followers skyrocketing, reaching thousands, using just a few millennia of life was sufficient to influence a being of the Apocalypse Level.

Thus, revealing the secret about Dawn Church and himself was undoubtedly the right choice.

Ether Dragon remained silent for a long moment, understanding what those words truly meant, and realizing why his far more powerful old friend had suddenly fled.

In his eyes, his own death today was inevitable.

Perhaps the Sapphire Curator used the prophecy spell to foresee some matters in advance.
