Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Squeak!

When the Three-Eyed Crow detected the Mind Magic Domain’s oddities, it let out a strange cry and disappeared and then reappeared atop a withered tree dozens of feet from its former place. It stayed atop a branch, and observed the crowd coldly, while its third eye emitted a strange green radiance as if it was a ghost fire.

“Teleportation Magic, could it be that this is a legendary Space Element Magical Beast?” Upon witnessing that the Three-Eyed Crow’s speed was seemingly higher than even his Evasion Spells, Yang Ling was shocked, and he quickly took out a sharp Blood Elf Dagger after he got over his surprise.

There were innumerable martial arts in the world, but only swift ones couldn’t be defeated.

Dealing with a level nine Magical Beast that could use spatial teleportation was probably more difficult than dealing with a Level Surpassing Magical Beast. This was why Yang Ling didn’t take the crow lightly, and he observed the Three-Eyed Crow’s ice-cold gaze.

“Sir, according to the legends of our Death Plane, the Three-Eyed Crow isn’t just a simple Space Element Magical Beast,” the Corpse Wizard King spoke in a low voice, before he moved back by several steps, and ordered his Undead Army to form a tight protective formation.

In the Death Plane, a distant legend spread among intelligent Undeads.

A long time ago, the Life Plane gave birth to a divine beast called Cassel. That beast’s feathers were more snow-white than angels’ feathers, and its claws could easily tear open the world’s hardest and firmest armor, while its eyes could see-through all illusions and attack enemies’ souls. Moreover, it could also move quickly, and its speed was higher than even the swiftest Space Element Magical Beasts.

On a certain day, a Materialistic Plane affiliated to the Life Plane suffered the attack of a large group of demons, and many demons adept at disguise snuck into that said plane. The divine beast Cassel was ordered to look for the hiding demons, and that was why it took a humanoid form and started looking for them. It had managed to find most of the hiding demons within several hundred years and killed them. Its hunting continued until it met a descendant of demons, and a pretty and kind girl called Yaya.

After Cassel got in contact with the pretty girl, they both quickly fell in love, and it had forgotten the girl’s identity as a descendant of demons. It brought its beloved woman Yaya to the highest snow mountains, while it also traveled with her to vast and broad primitive forests, and brought her to the sea to observe the stunning sunrise.

Cassel and its beloved woman toured all of that plane’s mountains, and their laughter spread to all corners of the plane. At that time, it was completely unaware that a great disaster was looming over it.

After the Life Divine Lord got to know that Cassel fell in love with a demon, he dispatched the strongest corps of twelve-winged angels to hunt and kill Cassel. After a bitter battle occurred between them, the pretty woman’s soul was exterminated, while Cassel sustained heavy injuries, and it detonated its Godhead out of anger to inflict heavy injuries upon the twelve-winged angels’ corps. At that time, its powerful Divine Consciousness spread to all planes.

After a short time since then, the creature called ‘crow’ appeared in many planes, and the crows spent their whole days crying with a sorrowful voice while they circled in the air above graves. Some people stated that those were ominous creatures, and anyone who got to see them would shortly die, while others stated that they were dark creatures that ate rotten corpses, and came to the graveyard to eat on the sly the corpses in the graves.

But, there were others who said that the divine beast Cassel’s soul that spread out turned into such creatures, and those creatures possessed an inherent instinct for looking for the previous girl Yaya. They looked for their lover’s extinguished soul!

According to the legend, once an ordinary crow evolved and got a third eye, it would become a Three-Eyed Crow, and it would recover a part of its ancient bloodline. It would get a part of the magical abilities of the divine beast’s Cassel, while once it evolved into a God-Level Three-Eyed Crow, the divine beast Cassel could come back to life. Cassel would descend into a Materialistic Plane once again, and take revenge against the Life Divine Lord.

“Crows are all planes’ most commonly seen creatures, but those that evolved into the legendary Three-Eyed Crow are rarely seen.” As Corpse Wizard King observed the Three-Eyed Crow standing motionless on a withered branch, he paused for a moment, before he spoke, “If I didn’t guess wrong, the reason why this crow evolved into a Three-Eyed Crow is surely greatly related to this lake.”

“Since you have said so, then Divine Spirits really exist in this world, didn’t they?” After Yang Ling understood the Three-Eyed Crow’s story, he shook his head out of confusion. He didn’t really believe such an absurd legend.

“I don’t know whether Divine Spirits exist, but according to what I know, most beings called Divine Spirits are just powerful God-Level Experts,” the Corpse Wizard King strived hard to try to recall an ancient book he read in the Death Plane, before he spoke slowly, “Angel is also just another title made by humans for birdmen, while ‘demons’ is just a general term used to refer to experts that trained in the Death and Chaos Laws.”

“According to the legend, a God-Level Expert’s power didn’t depend upon his Soul Energy’s intensity, nor his great Divine Power, but his understanding of Laws, and it’s what determined whether he can get a Divine Occupation.”

Divine Occupation?

Yang Ling looked in confusion at the Corpse Wizard King that strived hard to recall something, and this was also the case for the Dark Dragon King, Scorpion King Emmett, and other people. They all looked at him!

“According to the legend, once a God-Level Expert comprehended a certain Law thoroughly, he would get a chance to get a Divine Occupation and become a Divine Spirit. As a matter of fact, the Life Divine Lord and King of Darkness were just God-Level Experts that comprehended the Life Law and Death Law long ago, and managed to get a Divine Occupation.” As the Corpse Wizard King recalled that ancient book he read previously, he let out a hollow laugh before he spoke further. “However, I still don’t have a concrete idea about this affair, and maybe we can also get a Divine Occupation one day and become lofty Divine Spirits. At that time, we will manage to understand everything.”

“Hehe, even if you become a god, you will still be a lusty demon-like rascal, and even if you live for another thousand or ten thousand years, you still won’t change.” Upon seeing that the Corpse Wizard King revealed an embarrassed look, the Dark Dragon King laughed and took avail of such a chance to ridicule him.

“Despite everything, I’m still better than a ten-thousand-year-old virgin dragon. You have lived for more than 10,000 years, yet you didn’t get to even touch the hand of a single female dragon. You are really a failure, a great failure,” the Corpse Wizard King retorted loudly, and cast a meaningful glance at the Dark Dragon King’s crotch, while he wore a vile smile.

Once the Dark Dragon King and the Corpse Wizard King started arguing, their dispute wouldn’t come to an end, and this was why Yang Ling had to obstruct and stop them from blabbering before he looked carefully at the strange Three-Eyed Crow near them.

He assessed the Energy Ripples emanating from the crowd’s body, and its power was at most at the peak of the Ninth Level, and there was a long road left for it to advance into a Level Surpassing Magical Beast, let alone reach the God-Level. But, its strong point was its spatial magic and soul attack spells, and its attacks could catch people off-guard.

After Yang Ling quieted for a moment, he summoned a dozen or more horned beasts and Vampire Bats. He instructed them to probe out the Three-Eyed Crow’s power, but when they just took a breath of the terrifying Corpse Miasma, the horned beasts and Vampire Bats turned powerless, and they fell on the ground weakly before they had even managed to touch the crow’s feathers.

As for the few beasts that survived by luck, they didn’t manage to make any contribution even though they reached the Three-Eyed Crow, and all of their attacks hit thin air. The Three-Eyed Crow that mastered teleportation magic didn’t just manage to dodge them easily, it had still torn them into shreds with its sharp claws.

Squeak!

After the Three-Eyed Crow disposed of several Vampire Bats, it let out a sharp cry, and start attacking. As a black blur flickered, it instantly appeared in front of the crowd and dug out a Zombie’s heart. It had probably done so because it was angered by the crowd, yet it might also have been because it wanted to drive the crowd out of the valley.

“Everyone, be careful! You shouldn’t let it injure you with its claws, and you must be careful of its soul attacks.” The Corpse Wizard King didn’t dare to take the legendary Three-Eyed Crow lightly, and he ordered the Undead Army to attract its attention, while he hid and used Mind Magic to attack the crow’s soul. But, the Three-Eyed Crow couldn’t just launch sharp attacks, it also had great soul defense, and the Corpse Wizard King didn’t manage to harm it even after several tries.

“Hehe, you are courting death.”

When Yang Ling witnessed the Three-Eyed Crow pouncing at them and attacking, he wasn’t startled, and he was even delighted. He sneered coldly, before he instructed the Dark Dragon King, Corpse Wizard King and the other to attract its attention, while he quickly took our the Great Wizard Altar and strengthened it with the Great Wizard Seal. He started setting up Restriction Spells at his highest speed.

This crow’s offensive power wasn’t too great, and its strong trait was its high speed and teleportation. If he could tame it, he would get a rare messenger Magical Beast, and he wouldn’t have to send the Flying Dragon King running around everywhere through using Teleportation Gates every time.

Squeak!

The Three-Eyed Crow depended on its spatial teleportation magic and sharp attacks to wander around safely, and it strived hard to drive the crowd out of the Death Valley. Its spiritual intelligence was just awakened recently, and it felt instinctive that those people posed a great threat to it, and it might lose its essential lake due to them.

But, it was a pity that it could only get the upper hand against Zombies, Skeletons, and other low-grade Undeads. Once the Dark Dragon King and the other people joined the fight, greater pressure weighed upon the crowd’s shoulder. Even though it didn’t have to lower its speed, it still had to consume a larger amount of Magical Power to cast a teleportation due to the wave of the pressure of the Mind Magic Domain and Dark Dragon King’s domain.

The Corpse Wizard King commanded the crowd, and the Dark Dragon King, Scorpion King Emmett, and the other people fought carefully against the Three-Eyed Crow. They tried to whittle away its Magical Power and spirit slowly. They were able to inflict heavy injuries upon the crowd if they attacked it recklessly, they still didn’t have to do so because as long as Yang Ling set up a Restriction Spell, this strange crow wouldn’t manage to escape no matter how strong it was. This was why they didn’t have to hurry up!

“Humph, I don’t believe that you will manage to fly away once I constrict the whole space.” After Yang Ling activated a Restriction Spell strengthened by the Great Wizard Seal, he sneered coldly and started reading a Wizard Mantra in silence. He cast the Wizard Spell Sky Screen and blocked all of the outside world’s energy sources.

He had used the Wizard Spell Sky Screen along with the Restriction Spell, and he didn’t believe that the Three-Eyed Crow could still escape. But, Yang Ling still didn’t mind to consume his Wizard Power and Mental Energy to cast the Wizard Spell ‘Soul Fetters’ as a precaution, and he set an undetectable Soul Imprint on the Three-Eyed Crow’s body. Now, even if the Three-Eyed Crow rushed out, he could still depend upon the Soul Imprint to chase and hunt it down.

In ancient times, tribes’ Soul Wizards would frequently stealthily cast a Soul Imprint on their opponents’ bodies so that they could track their prey or their powerful enemies. The stronger one’s Wizard Power and Mental Energy, the greater would be the scope of the Soul Wizard’s Soul Detection. The scope of High-Level Soul Wizards’ Soul Detection could reach several thousand or several tens of thousands of miles, and as long as the enemy or the prey took any actions, the wizard would manage to detect it and make preparations in advance.

Even if he put aside the Three-Eyed Crow’s swift evolution speed, and the fact that it had a high chance to evolve into a God-Level Magical Beast, just its powerful teleportation magic alone made it a special Magical Beast that shouldn’t be missed. This was why Yang Ling raised his Crystal Skeleton Head, and undertook this task personally. He borrowed the Great Wizard Altar’s power to cast Soul Roar and Soul Assimilating Light Ray, and attacked the Three-Eyed Crow’s soul with them. He was determined to get this rare Magical Beast!
