The potions gave Angele a tremendous help when he was still a Wizard apprentice. However, after he became a formal Wizard, only high-level potions would increase his mentality. The Potion of Tranquility and the Awakening Potion were no longer effective. He needed high-level potion formulas and to collect the rare materials required for the concoction of such potions.

He quietly sat at the table for a while, yet he couldn’t figure out a better option as the main problem was the lack of resources.

"So that’s why Wizards spend hundred years looking for ways to advance. The gap between each stage is huge. No wonder they can’t reach the next rank. I must gather an enormous amount of resources for me to gain mentality quickly…but how did the ancient Wizards rank up so easily…What did they learn from the other worlds…?"

Angele muttered.

He was certain that Master Liliana and the old Wizards he had met before all needed an immense number of resources to progress.

Based on the knowledge he had, the increase of mentality required a physical body. That was the reason why converting oneself into energy form would be the last thing a Wizard wanted to do. Once he lost his physical body, it would be impossible for him to progress further, as his mentality would remain at a certain level.

A Wizard’s rank was determined by the level of spells one could cast, and casting high-level spells required a high mentality level. In other words, mentality level could be used in determining a Wizard’s rank.

Angele thought for a while but did not reach any valuable conclusion, so he decided to visit more ruins that were left by the ancient wizards when he had the chance.

The ruin Angele had entered was built thousands of years ago. However, he wanted to explore the ancient ones that were underground or in the dangerous zone of the Gem Sea. If he could manage to find those ancient ruins, it would be possible for him to uncover the secret of the ancient wizards.

He removed the black cloth covering the crystal lamp.

Under the dim light, Angele raised his right arm and a small bump appeared on his shoulder, moving quickly toward the center of his palm. A crack appeared on the surface of his skin, revealing a chain of keys.

Angele held the keys in his hand and tapped them with his left hand.

*CHI*

Light flashed upon the keys surrounded by a white glow.

‘Prepare to test the source of the illusions.’ Angele ordered.

‘Test no. 324, test preparation, ready,’ Zero reported right away.

Angele narrowed his eyes and shook the keys with his right hand.

*CLANK*

The noise made by the key hitting each other echoed in the room.

Intense heat hit his palm as Angele closed his eyes.

He was surrounded by darkness after opening his eyes again.

Angele was still sitting on the same chair at the same location, but he could not see anything in the room.

*ROAR*

He heard beasts roaring from all angles.

Angele stood up quickly. Three silver metal scars appeared on his face and blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes. Those light dots became the only source of light in the room.

He suddenly stepped forward.

*Kata-kata*

Clear footsteps kept echoing in the darkness.
