Chapter 120: Rise of a Temporary Mage Ruler
Soon enough, Meylan realized that, after all, the boss was still the boss. If Sylvus didn't do something extraordinary, he wouldn't truly be Sylvus.
After that, Sylvus returned to his room and quietly waited for the system shop to refresh.
[System Notification: System shop refreshed successfully. Please check it yourself.]
As soon as the system's voice echoed, Sylvus eagerly opened the system to check. Yesterday, Boone had given him 1,200 trillion magic crystals, making him very wealthy now.
Immortal Spirit Pill: Exclusive to the host, Grade Nine elixir. After consumption, it enhances mana. Price: ten million points.
Special Task Scroll: Activates a system task upon use. Price: ten billion points.
World Fragment: Unknown item. Price: ten trillion points.
Seeing the items that were refreshed this time, Sylvus couldn't help but frown. The elixir was acceptable, but the other two items were quite peculiar.
The Special Task Scroll didn't specify what kind of task it would activate. And the World Fragment was an even greater mystery.
However, judging by the price of the World Fragment, this item must be extraordinary, given that it cost ten trillion points.
"Whatever it is, I'll buy it first and figure it out later!" Sylvus thought, then went ahead and bought it. Since he was rich now, he didn't have to worry about not being able to afford it.
[System Notification: Host has spent ten trillion points to purchase the World Fragment. It has been stored in the system space. Please check it yourself.]
[System Notification: Host has successfully spent ten billion points to purchase the Special Task Scroll. It has been stored in the system space. Please check it yourself.]
With the three system notifications, Sylvus also took out the three items. The Special Task Scroll was a black scroll with strange patterns on it.
When Sylvus opened the scroll, the system's voice echoed again.
[System Notification: Host has opened the Special Task Scroll, activating a special system task: The Return of Deity Power.]
The Return of Deity Power: Restore deity power to the Aisral continent. Task reward: A fragment of the Forbidden Codex.
Hearing the system's voice, Sylvus's eyes lit up. The reward for this task seemed quite generous—it was a fragment of the Forbidden Codex. Just for that alone, there was no way he could abandon the task.
"Restoring deity power to Aisral? System, can you give me a hint on how to do that?" Sylvus asked.
[Once the host completes the previous task, you will naturally know.]
The previous task? It was to help the elven and dwarven clans break their bloodline seals. Currently, the task completion rate was at 75%.
It seemed that the elven clan had already broken their bloodline seal, and they just had to wait for the dwarven clan to do the same.
"I wonder if the dwarven clan will manage it. If not, I'll have to go to the Undead World myself," Sylvus thought to himself.
As for the battles at the front, Boone would come to give him updates every day, so Sylvus knew that the powerful beings of Aisral had already entered the Undead World.
Next, Sylvus looked at the World Fragment. It resembled a shard of glass, palm-sized, and Sylvus couldn't find anything special about it even after examining it for a while.
"System, I spent ten trillion points. Can you at least give me a hint on what this is for?" he asked.
[System Notification: The World Fragment is related to the Deity Realm. The rest is for the host to explore on your own.]
Hearing the system's response, Sylvus frowned. "So basically, you're telling me nothing at all."
"It looks like I'll have to wait until I go to the Deity Realm to explore its purpose," Sylvus shrugged, then put the item away. Finally, his gaze fell upon the Immortal Spirit Pill.
"I might as well continue breaking through." After consuming the pill, Sylvus began cultivating again. Currently, he had only reached the one-star Mage Emperor level, and there was still a long way to go before he possessed a Divinity.
For the next two days, nothing significant happened. However, in the Undead World, under the leadership of Elena and the angel clan, the powerful beings of Aisral began a large-scale slaughter of the undead.
With the angel clan there, the undead had no room for resistance. After all, the strongest of the undead had all been taken care of by Sylvus, and even the ones behind them were dead.
But on the third day, Boone hurriedly came to find Sylvus.
"Boss, something terrible has happened."
Boone looked at Sylvus with an anxious expression.
"What is it?" Sylvus frowned and asked. Aisral was safe now, so what could have gone wrong?
"Queen Elena and the others are facing a mortal situation. They need your help to save them," Boone said.
Sylvus was stunned, feeling a bit curious. "What kind of mortal situation are they facing? Didn't you say everything was going smoothly for them?"
"I don't know exactly. We have no other choice now but to ask for your help. As long as you agree to help, we'll agree to whatever conditions you have," Boone said urgently.
If the angel clan perished, Boone wouldn't care much. But this time, many human powerhouses had also gone. If they all died in the Undead World, and the undead came back stronger, there would be no one on Aisral capable of resisting them.
Sylvus narrowed his eyes. He had been planning to take a good rest, but it seemed that trouble had found him again.
"One hundred trillion magic crystals."
Sylvus thought for a moment and said. He wanted more magic crystals, but he was afraid Boone wouldn't be able to provide them. After all, Boone had given him one hundred trillion magic crystals not long ago.
Boone hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded. After all, the money wouldn't be paid by him alone; once the dwarven and angel clans were saved, he could have them contribute as well.
"Boss, when will you depart?" Boone asked eagerly.
Sylvus looked at the sky—it was already noon. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to leave immediately. The sooner he solved the problem, the sooner he could complete the system task.
"Meylan , I'm leaving for a few days. During this time, cultivate well. When I return, I'll help you break through to the level of a Mage Ruler," Sylvus said, glancing at Meylan beside him.
"Don't worry, boss. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to the shop," Meylan said with a smile, feeling a surge of excitement. He knew he had to train even harder in the coming days.
Boone, standing beside him, couldn't help but be shocked upon hearing Sylvus's words—breaking through to a Mage Ruler? There wasn't a single Mage Ruler-level powerhouse in all of Aisral, and yet Sylvus made it sound so simple.
Was it really that easy to break through to the level of a Mage Ruler in the boss's eyes?
Sylvus didn't pay any more attention to Boone and disappeared from his spot, taking more than an hour to arrive at the Abyss.
"It seems the battle a few days ago was quite brutal," Sylvus murmured, frowning at the scattered bones all around him—mostly of the undead.
Next, Sylvus arrived at the canyon. It was dark below, and without hesitation, Sylvus used Void Spirit Magic and jumped down.
After more than ten minutes, Sylvus finally landed in the Undead World. Looking around, Sylvus frowned.
The surroundings were in complete disarray, and a tall tower was shattered beyond recognition, indicating that an intense battle had taken place here.
"Boone didn't mention where Elena and the others were. The Undead World is so vast, how am I supposed to find them?" Sylvus sighed, realizing that in the end, he could only rely on himself.
Thinking of this, Sylvus took out Elena's Ancestral Stone. Fortunately, he had this; otherwise, he really wouldn't know where to start searching.
