Chapter 75: Powerful Being From Another World

“Psychics will have their power greatly reduced once they leave the Haunt World. If someone can put up a Psychic Sound Barrier in the wizarding world, it should be at least a 2-star power wielder,” Sunders explained in a low voice.

The Haunt World had its own special power called “Psychic”. This power stayed dormant inside every creature in the Haunt World, and only special training could bring it out, allowing the creature to use Psychic power.

The Haunt World was a plane with low-level mana. The most powerful beings were called 3-star Psychics, who could cause damage similar to those dealt by Level-3 Wizards. However, once they get away from the Haunt World, their power would weaken. At best, a 3-star Psychic would be degraded into a 1-star Psychic in the wizarding world.

To Sunders, the Psychic Sound Barrier around them was similar to something cast by a Level-2 Apprentice. The caster should be at least a 2-star Psychic in his own world. This was strength hindered for being in a foreign world. Wizards could roam freely in different planes because they were only mildly affected by such hindering while a wizard on the path of truth would not be affected at all. Wizards used their knowledge as their power. As long as they could think effectively, their power cannot be suppressed too much.

“You asked a 2-star Psychic here to hunt us down?” Sunders questioned Sliv.

“Hunt? Nah. I just want to do business with Mister Sunders,” said Sliv. Brigitte carried Sliv through the waterfall. The man’s silver hair was flowing in the wind, giving him an outstanding look.

“Business? You asked for a company from a foreign world just to do business?” Sunders expressed sarcasm.

“Heehee. You are still thinking about the Fragments of Eternity?” Flora spoke.

“That’s correct. Lady Flora read my mind. I simply want to buy some fragments.” Sliv revealed a tight-lipped smile.

“Forget it. Who are you to—” Flora tried to taunt, but Sunders stopped her.

“If it’s business, let’s hear your price. I’ll gladly sell you some fragments if the price is good enough.” Sunders was calm as he spoke.

“But professor!” Flora complained upon hearing Sunders’ words.

The man only waved his hand at her. His gesture hid a message:

Stall. We can’t fight him now!

Flora caught the idea and shut her mouth. She slowly stepped behind Sunders.

“My price?” Sliv grinned. He revealed a cruel look, “How about your lives?”

Sunders and Flora grimaced.

“Looking to die, aren’t you?” Flora yelled.

“Our lives huh? You sure you can kill us?” Sunders sneered.

Sliv did not back down in one bit. “I certainly can’t. But the world’s consciousness can. If you make one move, or if I make a move… Hehee, you know what will happen.”

Flora thought Sliv brought some kind of ace card. When she heard these, she only rolled her eyes in disdain. “You’re crazy. No matter who moves first, no one will escape here. Do you think you can survive?”

“No dragging. I know what you’re trying to do.” Sliv clapped his hands. Several shadowy figures appeared around them. The leader of them was a slim man who was giving out a strange aura.

“Edick Family from the Haunt World. Of course, Mister Sunders knows about them, right?” Sliv spoke.

“Edick?” Sunders looked at the leader of the group in surprise. He asked, “You’re ‘Flying Crow’ Crow Edick?”

The slim man laughed in a low voice and spoke in a foreign accent, “Indeed. I’m Crow Edick.”

Crow removed his hood and revealed the face of an elder wearing white hair. He looked mostly like a human, but a pair of beast ears covered in black and white stripes stuck out of his head. This proved that he was not human, but a sapient humanoid creature.

Sunders’ expression changed upon hearing his name. This man was one of the five strongest 3-star Psychics from the Haunt World. The nature of his psychic power was “prime”.

His power was unparalleled at his homeland. It could even affect the entire world itself. The power could create something from an element as a prime point. With fire, it could unleash a boundless sea of fire; with water, it could produce an ocean. It was not limited to creating solid elements. The power could also use time and space as prime points!

Away from the Haunt World, Crow could not do whatever he wished. But still, if he used his power properly and use “stable space” as a prime point, he could create a safe area in which a crumbling space would not harm them. That was why Sliv acted so arrogant. With Crow here, they did not need to be afraid of provoking the world’s consciousness.

“Nice plan.” Sunders put on a dark expression. If Sunders attacked them and damaged the space, the world’s consciousness would mark them all as threats while Sliv could survive with the help of Crow’s power. When the incident was over, the other organizations would definitely blame Sunders for this too.

If he stayed put, Sliv would ask Crow to attack. Crow could at least unleash attacks as powerful as Level-1 Wizards in this world, which was enough to deal with Sunders and Flora, who could not use spells at will.

To fight or not, their situation would not look good.

Sunders was trying to figure out Sliv’s situation as well. Sliv could have used spells to trigger the world’s consciousness and kill everyone by turning them into energy shards. He could seize all profit during the third stage of the plane fusion that way. Yet he did not. There must be a reason.

So either Crow’s psychic power was not enough to protect everyone from Song of the Deep, or Sliv was plotting something else and did not want to offend every organization on the spot.

More importantly, what made Silv so confident?

“Your answer? As I said, no stalling sh*t. I give you one more minute to answer, then I’ll attack. Fragments of Eternity for your lives.”

Sliv looked really confident as if he already knew Sunders’ answer. For wizards, their lives were still more important than anything. Moral, virtue, justice… those were spiritual comforts for mortals. Wizards sought after the fundamental of the world, so such a mental support was useless compared to their lives.

Sliv saw Flora taking out a scroll with shining spell patterns on it. It was obviously connected to the spell array under their feet.

“Trying to teleport away?” Sliv raised an eyebrow. He grinned, “Oh my, I forgot to tell you. The waterfalls are covered by Psychic Space Barriers. Maybe Crow can’t use his full power here, but the barriers can still stop you for a minute or two.”

Psychic Space Barrier?

Flora quickly looked at Sunders who nodded to her.

“Damn it!” Flora cursed under her breath. Her expression looked grim. However, anyone that knew her well would easily notice her clear and calm eyes, which meant she was not angry in the least.

Because of the “Psychic Space Barrier”, everyone stayed silent again.

“Thirty seconds to go. I hope you make the right choice!” Sliv even brought out a tiny hourglass and watched the sand flowing down slowly. His grin grew larger.
