The journey was almost perfect, and Edward got everything he wanted.
In fact, he even received a pleasant surprise.
For example, a huge pile of books in this library.
As well as the truth of this world, and where the wizards went.
So far, there was only one thing left.
He had to find the other ruin in the Golin Mountain Range: Moon Lake!
According to the records, the bottom of the Moon Lake contained a Spirit Enlightenment liquid that allowed wizards to control elements.
To wizards, Spirit Enlightenment was an indispensable process.
“System, check if there are any unknown mysterious reactions in the ruins!”
Edward consulted the system.
Having succeeded in his cultivation of the meditation technique, there was no need for him to waste time here.
Before he left, he did a thorough check-up.
If there were no other unknown discoveries, it was time for him to head to the Moon Lake for Spirit Enlightenment.
Edward looked at the iron ball that had lost its luster due to the system’s invasion and threw it into the water.
After being hacked by the system, the information stored in the iron ball entered Edward’s mind.
It was naturally useless now.

Outside the ruins, the remaining four knights buried their comrades, and the maid, Alicia, also prepared the food for the day. She looked at the gate anxiously.
The three-meter-tall giant stone statue continued to stay in the position of slamming the ground.
It was like a beautifully carved statue.
Yet, the surrounding knights did not dare to approach it again.
They did not want to experience the helplessness and fear that the stone statue had brought them.
At this moment, Alicia let out a cry of surprise, attracting the rest of the knights.
“It’s Young Master Edward! He’s back!”
On the three-meter gate in front of them, the crow carved on it emitted a dazzling light.
Edward’s figure slowly appeared in the fog.
“Young Master Edward, are you alright?”
Seeing a familiar figure, the four knights quickly surrounded him.
“Let’s go. We’ve already obtained what we were looking for. There’s no point in staying here!”
Edward came to the stone statue and poured the mysterious power into the core at his chest according to the methods of alchemy.
The dim core immediately glowed blue.
The stone statue was activated once again, but this time, it did not attack Edward. Instead, it obediently walked to the door and fell into a deep slumber.
This stone statue was already under his control.
The energy consumption of alchemy puppets was huge, but Edward had a huge reserve of mysterious power in his body.
The puppet was now under Edward’s control.
The statue was now Edward’s.
After making all the necessary arrangements, Edward led everyone out of the Land of Fog. With the characteristics of a Curse Wizard, Edward ignored the fog along the way.
About half an hour later, Edward’s group reached the exit.
At that moment, Edward stomped his foot, and under everyone’s shocked gazes, a huge pit appeared under the Fog Vortex.
Was this what Edward found in the ruins?
This power that was comparable to deities was too terrifying.
Young Master Edward was indeed the chosen one. Under his leadership, perhaps the Feylan Family would have greater achievements in the future.
Edward pulled out his dirty feet. The pit had completely covered the entrance of this Land of Fog.
He was the only one who knew about this place now, along with his maid and knights.
The knights were loyal and would definitely not reveal this secret.
This could be considered a backup plan for his family.
He had not taken the three-meter-tall giant stone statue because he wanted to leave behind a life-saving tool for his family.
He had to venture into the wizard world.
As for the family, he could not ignore them.
Edward had no doubt that no one in this Empire could defeat this stone statue.

It was an alchemy golem left behind by a traveling wizard.
There was no doubt about its strength.
Next, he would have to go to the Moon Lake and activate the next Spirit Enlightenment ritual!

Boom!
A loud rumble came from the vicinity of the Moon Lake. The hunters, who had come to hunt, slashed or stabbed at the monster in the lake with their swords and spears.
It was a monster with a lion’s head and a snake’s tail. Its grayish-blue hard scales shone under the sun. Wherever the spear and sword landed, only a white mark was left.
This was enough to show how powerful this monster’s defense was.
Karl, who was wearing a gray robe, stared at the monster with his lifeless eyes.
His calm expression finally changed at this moment.
Karl’s hoarse voice echoed in the crowd, “Concentrate your attacks on the head of this monster!”
The unknown monster in front of him had finally triggered the fear he had hidden in his heart for many years.
It was the fear towards mystery.
“If you have the ability, don’t try to hide it. If you guys still fool around, we’ll be the ones to die!”
More than half of the hunters were either dead or crippled. Some of them were already thinking of retreating.
The beast tide caused by this monster would not result in their loss.
Moreover, it was not wise to give up their life for just 600 gold coins!
Money was pointless if they died!
A Star Hunter had a bloody hole in his abdomen. The fact that he could survive until now meant that he had reached the peak of the Star rank.
Leader Karl, who was forced back by the monster’s claws, happened to see the hunter who was preparing to escape. A cold glint flashed across his eyes.
The power of a Sky Knight erupted at this moment.
The ghost-like figure of the old body flashed behind the coward and kicked.
Everyone saw a figure drenched in blood flying from the back of the battlefield and smashing into the monster’s head.
As a team that worked together, someone had already recognized him and hurriedly looked behind him!
Karl, who was wearing a black robe, had a pair of cold eagle-like eyes as he scanned the group of hunters who worked for money.
This kick dispelled the thoughts of many who were thinking of getting out of the battlefield.
There were only two choices left for them.
One was to fight the monster that had gradually lost its rationality and was beginning to rage crazily.
The other was to fight against the old man. Although he looked old and weak, he was actually a peak level Sky Knight.
This battle only gave them despair.
With just a group of Silver rank fighters, no matter how many people they had, it was impossible to defeat the monster.
