241 The Sage (2/2)
Oliver waved his hand and a small box that contained an ocean of magic crystal was absorbed into the altar.
The altar started to shine with such power that harmed the eyes of both Rank 4 life forms. A grey aura rose from it and its power was immense.
Lightning and thunder filled the sky, huge waves appeared on the ocean and the ground around Tomas and Oliver broke.
The expression on the two dukes was somber. This was the first time either of them had met with this person and it seems they had underestimated his power.
The grey aura formed a faceless humanoid and the moment he appeared in this world, an omnipotent presence approached this place. A crushing pressure assaulted the trio which only made the elements and natural energy around them behave even more explosively.
The duo in front of the altar recognized it immediately. It was the World Consciousness and it arrived with undefeatable might.
The grey humanoid stared at the sky and then waved his hand. There was no flashy light or powerful energy in that action, but the raging elements calmed down and the pressure the trio felt disappeared.
The World Consciousness was still present, but it seemed it lost its target and after a couple of seconds, it left.
Shock filled the face of the two Angelic Paragons. Despite their power and bloodline, they were not able to feel anything in that movement but it was clear its power was not simple since it tricked the World Consciousness.
”My good friends allow me to officially introduce myself, I have had many names through the years, so many that I can barely remember all of them, but lately people call me Sage.” The voice of the Sage was robotic, and you could not obtain any information about him with it.
Oliver and Tomas felt disgusted by the way the Sage addressed them, but they did not express their feelings.
Even if the Sage was powerful, he was not a member of the Heavenly race and in the eyes of the dukes, nothing more than a beast.
”I can see that fate has not been kind to the two of you, especially with you Duke Oliver. But worry no more, I will show you two the way to a glorious future.”
Oliver's eyes narrowed when he heard that. It was clear for the Angelic Paragon with wings of lava that this person's knowledge was not simple.
The dukes communicated in secret. They were confident that the Sage did not know what they talked about.
The truth is that despite not having ears, he heard every word as if they were shouting them.
”Why did you choose this day and hour for our meeting?” The one who spoke was Tomas. The energy inside his body was ready to act the moment he felt something wrong.
The way they had been contacted was a very odd one. A message appeared in their dreams, which offered help against the Magi threat in exchange for an immense amount of resources.
The dukes would have ignored it if not for the fact that the message also had information about Volcano Eruption.
By the time they woke up, a piece of a foreign consciousness was left in their minds that they could use if they decided to take his offer.
When the canyon close to the force field and the void in the ocean appeared, Oliver contacted the Sage under Tomas's instruction.
He gave the duo the knowledge of how to create the altar and the date when they could meet.
At first, none of them thought too much of it but now it was different. Exactly twenty-four hours ago, they lost against the Magi and Zatiel gave his oath.
”That is simple my friends. Today is the day you two need me more than ever. When you are lost and don't know what to do next. When fear has invaded your hearts and the future resembles hell. I will be the beacon that will guide you out of the darkness and change your fates!”
