153 Ch. 153 Facing Uzzarc (1/2)

Zehell and Lionel immediately knew that Niken's indigo magic circle did not come from Niken's abilities. Instead, that girl had unwittingly been chosen by one of the spirit familiars.

They didn't know the type of the spirit, but they knew that Niken was not an ordinary individual if there was a spirit who wished to become Niken's contracted familiar spirit.

The familiar spirit was very picky about choosing its master, and usually, they chose the most gifted and most substantial individual. Therefore they couldn't fathom as to why Niken was chosen.

And now they know why. Apparently, Niken was not an ordinary Time Master, but a Great Time Master because that girl could travel to different time dimensions.

It's no wonder that many daemons or other energy-consuming creatures are attracted to Niken's scent. Currently, Niken was one of the most robust and most invincible wizards in this world, judging by the level of magic cultivation.

Unfortunately, Niken was inexperienced in fighting and could not use her stamina wisely, so the girl would often faint if she used too much of her magic.

Even though Niken was a little stronger than Kazuto or Lionel, Niken won't be able to beat both of them if Niken was serious about dueling them.

Zehell showed a thin smile, realizing that his mind was distracted.

In order to get rid of the guilt he had been ignoring all this time, he had to overcome his fear and face his father.

Zehell clenched his hands, then walked with determined steps into the cave. No one knew that he would be in a dire situation where he was about to lose his life.

Zehell has arrived at the deepest part of the cave he entered. There was no light or other creatures apart from himself and his father. He also didn't need to create light magic because he had enhanced his eyesight to see in the dark.

Zehell stopped right in front of his father, who was still meditating on the ice rock while cold steam enveloped his father's body.

Uzzarc Zeed, one of the strongest survivors of the pureblood wizard second to Zephyr, had the ambition to defeat the young mix-blood wizard one day. He was jealous as a younger, that too a mix-blood was more potent than him and were chosen to become a captain of Ace force. Hence, his desire to challenge the young mix-blood was tremendous to the point that he would never dissolve before defeating Zephyr.

Zehell couldn't help but get nervous in front of his father. Since childhood, he often saw his father hunting magical beasts and killing them cruelly. Not to mention that his father would beat up his three children if they didn't obey his orders.

Since his father secluded himself a hundred years ago, Zehell had rarely seen his father. Nevertheless, he still felt even more dreadful about feeling an aura of cultivation energy that was often more dense and domineering than what he remembered.

”Zehell, what are you doing here?”

His father's chilly voice made his blood run cold. Instantly his guts shrank, and he became a coward again.

Calm down, Zehell. If you stop now, then everything will return to zero. Zehell tried to convince himself. He closed his eyes to remember what he saw in the hidden room in their mansion basement.

As soon as he remembered what he had seen, his courage returned to replace his cowardice. He opened his eyes then began to speak carefully while amplifying the aura of defense just in case his father struck him with his magical atmosphere.

”Father, I want to restore the mermaid lake's glory.”

”What do you mean?”

”I found a way to make the evil mermaids return to normal, so we can bring them back and make this place what it used to be.”

”You can try it, but I suggest doing nothing. I don't know what method you've found, but they won't possibly come back to how they used to be.”

”Why are you so sure?”

”Because I poisoned them with my blood.”
