Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

"Great Space Summoning!"

With a thought, Sylvus created a spatial rift before him. After waiting for more than ten seconds, a figure appeared in front of Sylvus.

"This... this place is..." Elena looked around, utterly confused. She had been fighting just a moment ago, so how had she suddenly appeared here?

"Ahem... What's going on with you?" Sylvus spoke up.

At the same time, he also examined Elena, slightly surprised. Since transforming into an angel, the coldness around Elena had disappeared. She now appeared even more noble, and the eight wings on her back gave her an aura of gentleness.

"Boss?" Hearing the voice, Elena turned her head. Seeing Sylvus, she couldn't help but show a look of delight. She suddenly remembered that Sylvus possessed a special spatial magic. It seemed he was the one who had saved her.

"Hmm, Boone said you were in trouble, so I came to check things out," Sylvus nodded.

"Boss, it's bad. Our people have been caught in a trap. With me there, they could hold on for a while, but now that I've left..." Elena suddenly remembered the situation they were in and felt a surge of anxiety.

"Don't worry, explain as we go. What happened exactly?" Sylvus asked.

Elena nodded and led Sylvus forward while explaining the situation.

After arriving in the Undead World, they had been unstoppable. The remaining undead couldn't resist them and kept fleeing. But it turned out that the undead's escape was merely a ruse to lure them into a trap.

And the ones who had set up this trap were the twelve kings that Sylvus had already killed. Despite losing their formidable power, their life spirits still remained, allowing them to command the undead.

"Boss, we never imagined that the twelve kings had left behind such powerful means in the Undead World. They used the deity power they had once plundered from Aisral to construct a massive altar, and we have no way to resist it," Elena said, sighing.

Sylvus narrowed his eyes.

"This was their territory originally, so it's normal for them to have contingencies. However, I don't think that this setup was intended for you."

Elena was stunned, and her eyes lit up as she quickly thought of the reason.

"Boss, are you saying this altar was meant for the fallen angels?"

Sylvus smiled but said nothing. Though he believed that was the case, they would need to go and see for themselves to be sure.

With Elena guiding the way, it took them an hour to reach a vast black mountain range. At that moment, countless undead had gathered on the mountain range. Sylvus could sense two powerful forces clashing within the mountain.

"Boss, this is the place. They want to use that altar to sacrifice us and restore their power," Elena said, her face serious.

"So many undead blocking the way—we'll need to deal with them before we can get inside." Sylvus said calmly, his gaze falling on Elena.

"Uh... Boss, even though I've become part of the angel clan, dealing with so many undead is still quite challenging," Elena said with a wry smile.

The mountain was crawling with millions of undead, many of whom were Mage Emperor-level powerhouses. With her current strength, she would struggle to protect herself, let alone defeat them all.

"What if I made you a Mage Ruler?" Sylvus asked calmly.

"A Mage Ruler? Boss, you must be joking. Although I've become much stronger, I'm still some distance away from reaching the level of a Mage Ruler," Elena shook her head. She was also puzzled—given Sylvus's strength, dealing with these undead should be easy, so why hadn't he acted yet?

Sylvus indeed wanted to take action, but this wasn't his shop. Without the system's buff, he was just an ordinary one-star Mage Emperor, even weaker than Elena.

"Then just be a Mage Ruler for a while. Handle these undead yourself while I go inside and take a look."

Sylvus said, pulling out a purple card—the Deity Sealing Card he had obtained before.

Deity Sealing Card: A one-time consumable item that allows the user to reach the level of a Mage Ruler for one hour. Cost: Two billion points.

Sylvus had bought this item a long time ago but never had the opportunity to use it. He was simply too strong, never getting a chance to experience the power of a Mage Ruler.

This time, the situation was just right. Sylvus had initially thought of using it himself, but there was no point. He hadn't learned much magic and wouldn't be able to fully utilize the power of the Deity Sealing Card.

However, Elena was different. She was already a nine-star Mage Emperor and the queen of the angel clan, skilled in various magic. Giving it to her would yield the best results.

"Boss, this..." Elena looked at the purple card in Sylvus's hand, filled with confusion. She could feel the powerful energy contained within it.

"It's something I made in my free time. It can make you a Mage Ruler for one hour. Handle these undead yourself," Sylvus said.

[System Notification: Host is using the Deity Sealing Card... Select target... Target selected. Deity Sealing Card used successfully.]

Elena was still in shock when she saw the purple card in Sylvus's hand turn into streams of light, merging into her body.

At the same time, her aura surged.

"This... how is this possible?" Elena was startled. Before she could finish her sentence, the wings on her back unfolded. Originally four pairs, they now became five pairs, and her aura had directly reached the level of a Mage Ruler.

"Alright, I'll go check inside."

Seeing that Elena had temporarily become a Mage Ruler, Sylvus didn't hesitate and disappeared from his spot, flying towards the mountain.

"I really became a Mage Ruler."

After Sylvus disappeared, Elena still couldn't recover from her shock. She stood there, stunned. She could feel that her power was now even greater than that of the twelve kings she had encountered before.

"The boss is truly terrifying!"

After more than ten seconds, Elena finally snapped back to reality, taking a deep breath. She looked at the undead within the mountain range ahead, and in the next instant, her figure disappeared from where she stood.
