Chapter 116: Floating City, Aiden’s Question
Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Floating City, Aiden’s Question
“Sure enough, Mythic Fearless Warrior can resist all kinds of negative spirit effects.”
“This is just a warning, you will pay for your cleverness.” said Gareth quickly.
At this moment, James pulled out a spear that was more than two meters long.
“Eye Technique? I’m right here, but you attack Aiden. Are you looking down on me, or is it…”
“Do you think you can survive a fight with me?” James’ voice was cold. Behind him, a series of imaginary scenes appeared.
Small hills made of corpses, rivers made of blood, and weapons scattered like weeds on the ground…
The air seemed to freeze. The smell of blood, the stench of rotting bodies, appeared instantly.
As James held the spear with one hand and slightly raised it.
In an instant, the corpses in the imaginary scenes opened their eyes. The river of blood began to boil, and the weapons on the ground all trembled.
Killing intent, overwhelming killing intent!
The temperature around quickly dropped, and ice crystals appeared on the dark brown soil.
“Wait? He’s not Victor? Aiden, who is Aiden?” Gareth suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Aiden in disbelief.
His mind was a bit confused. According to the information collected by The Wycliffe Family a month ago, the Great Shaw Empire only had two geniuses: Mythic Fearless Warrior Victor, and Mythic Divine Eyes warrior Jade.
Jade was a girl.
This young man called Aiden by James, was he a new Mythic Reclaser?
Gareth couldn’t help but used his Legendary Rank detection skill to check Aiden’s basic information.
[Magical Apprentice, Epic, Level 39.]
His eyes widened even more.
Magic Apprentice isn’t the worst class, right?
How come he is Epic? And this Aiden is only level 39?
A level 39 Reclasser could stay calm under his Eye Technique? How is that possible!
Gareth took a deep breath and started to wonder if there was something wrong with his Eye Technique.
After all, he thought Aiden was Victor because his Eye Technique could create illusions, suppress spirits, and make people feel fear and despair.
Of course, he just wanted to give the young man a little warning, not to hurt him too much.
But Aiden didn’t move at all. It was as if his Eye Technique had failed.
“A level 39 Epic Reclasser probably doesn’t have high Spirit power. That means he must be wearing good equipment. It’s probably helping him resist my Eye Technique.” Gareth said, his eyes moving to Aiden’s gear.
Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought.
At that moment, James gripped the spear with both hands, his eyes like fire, and shouted loudly.
“Venerable Domain, Mountain of Corpses, River of Blood!”
In an instant, the imaginary scenes behind him became silent, then quickly merged with reality.
The dark brown soil turned into red grass covered in blood, with many weapons scattered around.
A huge mountain of corpses appeared out of nowhere, and a river of blood flowed quickly.
When Aiden saw this, his pupils shrank to the limit. Because everything—sound, smell, and sight—was extremely real.
Luke, standing beside him, whispered. “This is a Venerable Domain. Only a Venerable-level Reclasser can have it.”
“This isn’t a fake illusion. It’s a special space that can only appear when the Spirit world and reality merge.”
“Within the Venerable Domain, General James’s power will be greatly increased. His health can recover quickly, while enemies will be suppressed. If Gareth doesn’t have a Venerable Domain, he will definitely die.”
“Generally speaking, only a Venerable can hope to fight against another Venerable.”
After hearing Luke’s words, Aiden took a deep breath. This was the power of a Venerable-level Reclasser, wasn’t it?
Aiden looked at James in the distance, thinking to himself: “What if it’s a level 100 Reclasser? Or even a divine-level fighter? How terrifying would that be?”
An Epic-level Demon’s Domain was just a skill made of dark energy. It could not compare at all to this kind of Venerable Domain.
As Aiden was thinking, Gareth on the other side quickly spread his arms and covered his eyes.
“Venerable Domain, Ten Thousand Illusions.”
Colorful light poured out like a flood, flowing through the gaps in Gareth’s fingers.
The space around his body suddenly turned into a dreamlike color. The environment, which was once full of blood, corpses, and weapons, had half of it turned into bright colors.
Gareth was also a level 95 Venerable!
Luke’s expression turned serious. He instinctively looked back toward the Sovereign City.
If James and Gareth fought fiercely, even though they were far away from the Sovereign City now, it could still cause a big disaster.
A Venerable-ranked Reclasser can destroy a large city just by attacking, and it usually takes no more than three minutes.
James held his spear, his eyes cold as he looked at the colorful light around Gareth.
A slow, sneering smile appeared on his lips.
“Your level should only be level 94, right? Trying to use illusion to copy a Venerable Domain. Should I say you’re smart, or just too bold?”
Hearing this, everyone was surprised. Gareth sighed helplessly.
“How did you find out?”
He was not actually a level 95 Reclasser. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so afraid of James at the beginning.
His Venerable Domain wasn’t fully formed yet—it was just a half-finished version.
But his Eye Technique could create extremely realistic illusions.
Combined, they were enough to create a Venerable Domain that looked completely real.
But they didn’t expect it to be discovered so quickly by James.
James didn’t answer Gareth’s question. Actually, he should thank Aiden.
If Gareth hadn’t used his Eye Technique on Aiden just now, he wouldn’t have sensed something was wrong so fast.
Especially now, they were near the Sovereign City. James knew that if they fought seriously, many people from the Great Shaw Empire would die.
“Okay, take back your Venerable Domain. Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you if I can.” The colorful light around Gareth quickly gathered and went back into his eyes.
But James didn’t follow his words and cancel the Venerable Domain. Instead, he turned to Aiden and said quickly.
“I ask, you answer. You help me analyze.”
“Okay, I’ll do my best.” Aiden nodded.
There were still many imperial ministers and the first minister, Felix, present. James didn’t ask anyone else, which showed he trusted Aiden a lot based on his earlier performance.
“Are you from the Wycliffe Family, Gareth?” James asked, starting with a question that seemed meaningless.
John and Vespera were a bit surprised. Their faces showed some confusion. Didn’t the other side already say who they were?
They looked at Aiden, who now had a very serious expression, staring intently at Gareth.
“Yes, the Wycliffe Family has no bad intentions toward the Great Shaw Empire. In fact, more than a hundred years ago, members of the Wycliffe Family even helped the Great Shaw Empire.” Gareth answered.
James continued. “Tell me about the secret realm.”
“I don’t know much. I can only tell you that this secret realm is called the Place of the Fallen God. If you want to know more, you can do your own research.” Gareth said, shaking his head slightly. His face was hidden behind a black mask, showing no expression at all.
“What happened inside the secret realm?” James asked again.
This time, Gareth hesitated for a moment, then thought for a second before saying.
“I met an accident with my companion inside. He got stuck somewhere and I need to go back to the family to get help.”
James looked at Aiden, who shook his head slightly and said. “Something’s wrong.”
Gareth instinctively tried to look at Aiden, but before he could even start turning his head, James’ spear was already pointed at him again.
“Okay, the Floating City in the center of the secret realm has already been entered. And they’ve started the Bonding Trial. If you want to go in again, you need a qualified genius Reclasser. You can only enter after a month, when you get permission. That’s your only chance to get the Floating City and other treasures.”
“My other companion is stuck in the core area of the secret realm. I’m warning you now—even a level 90 Reclasser can die in this place.” Gareth said slowly.
James frowned and asked. “So you’re not only here to save your companion, but also to find a qualified genius Reclasser from the Wycliffe Family?”
“What are the conditions?”
Gareth shook his head. “The stronger and younger, the better. We Wycliffe Family don’t know as much about the Place of the Fallen God as you think.”
“One last question—I have to leave now. If I can’t, I can go through another exit. It just takes more time.”
James took a deep breath, then looked at Empress Eira.
She nodded at him. Then James turned to Aiden and said. “You ask.”
Aiden took a deep breath and his mind worked quickly.
He thought of a key question: The Wycliffe Family and the Evil Demons Guild entered the secret realm first.
And from the time they went in to the time they came out, it only took half a day.
According to Atlas’ estimate, the secret realm was very large. Just traveling to the so-called core area should take a lot of time.
Someone who entered the Floating City before the Wycliffe Family and the Evil Demons Guild must have had more information about the secret realm.
And it was very likely not the Evil Demons Guild, otherwise Gareth’s answer would have mentioned them.
Aiden slowly spoke and asked. “Who entered the Floating City faster than the Wycliffe Family, the Evil Demons Guild, and the Abyss Demons?”
Gareth took a deep breath and said. “You’re really smart. Even in the Wycliffe Family, it’s rare to find someone as smart as you.”
“Can you tell me how you found out there was something wrong with what I just said?”
