Chapter 3129: Skeletal Reflection
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A Forbidden Mage could only see a small part of the Dark Plane.
Yet, MO Fan, a Shadow Mage, finally got to see what the place really looked like.
No one knew where the power of Black Magic came from.
For years, there had been a debate about Black Magic. Some said learning it was like making a deal with the Devil. It would gradually consume a casterâs will and fill him with obsession. He would eventually be pulled into a dark endless abyss and become a servant to its ruler!
A servant?
MO Fan did not buy into that.
He saw himself as a controller, not a fallen one.
To him, Black Magic was simply a tool or a way to get things done. Its usage depended on the mage.
âWhatâs wrong? Is the Dark Plane not what you expected?â Ashaâruiya walked lightly across the starry sky with her clean, delicate feet.
MO Fan roamed through the stars and saw a rift surrounded by bright red stars. They looked like treasures scattered beneath a shallow valley with their mesmerizing glow.
âYeah. I thought it would be full of destruction and icy dust from space. The roads would be covered in piles of white bones that served as a warning to anyone who entered the Dark Plane,â MO Fan explained.
Back when he dealt with Su Lu at the Asian Magic Association, he pulled everyone into the Dark Plane. At that time, the Dark Plane was filled with eerie sights, death, and fear. It was just like hell.
However, MO Fan knew there was more to it than that. âYou have to look carefully then,â Ashaâruiya said with a smile.
âLook at what?â MO Fan asked in puzzlement.
âThis door will find us tasty,â Ashaâruiya explained. Then, she lightly knocked on the air as if knocking on a door.
The clear sound of the knock was unexpected since sound should not travel in the vacuum of space.
MO Fan and Ashaâruiya then used magic to converse.
Apart from the audible knock, their surroundings were terrifyingly silent.
Suddenly, MO Fan saw the rift in the sky before him widen! f reewe bnovel
To be more precise, it opened up and moved toward MO Fan as well as Ashaâruiya! Just as MO Fan was about to fight it with all of his might, the skyâs gaping mouth swallowed them up, like they were two tiny insects!
There were no sharp teeth, just a wide-open mouth in the starry sky. It was as if the universe itself was hiding a giant ancient beast. The vast emptiness of space masked its body, while the stars covered its skin like ornaments. It had been sleeping soundly until someone gently woke it up.
With no chance of fighting back or escaping, MO Fan and Ashaâruiya were consumed by this ancient beast.
The world twisted, and time seemed to rewind.
MO Fan felt like an old man on the verge of death. Memories, including those deeply buried, flooded back to him like shooting stars.
He could not tell how long it lasted, but he even saw himself learning his very first magic spell.
Eventually, this journey of being âswallowedâ through time and space ended.
It felt like they had arrived in the âstomachâ of the massive ancient beast.
However, the walls of the stomach felt as distant as a towering mountain on a vast grasslandâvisible but not within reach.
The stomach walls resembled the brick walls of a palace. They carried the grandeur of ancient civilizations and the beauty of modern craftsmanship. MO Fan and Ashaâruiya felt as though they had accidentally stumbled into a magnificent ancient civilization hidden underground.
The floor beneath their feet was so clean that it shone, but a thin layer of water covered the ground like a massive transparent sheet of paper. Every step they took created ripples that disappeared after every ten meters or so.
MO Fan instinctively lowered his head and glanced at Ashaâruiyaâs reflection in the water.
He was not looking at the thin mirror of water to be a creep.â Instead, he was surprised that her reflection showed her as a Six-Winged Fallen Angel with no face and only a skeletal body!
Her wings were skeletal too.
Despite that, she still looked attractive and graceful.
Even without skin and facial features, her reflection in the dark water was oddly beautiful.
âDonât you find it gross?â Ashaâruiya asked as she pointed at her reflection.
âNot really. You have a petite frame and wide hips. Itâs ideal for bearing children,â MO Fan replied bluntly.
âYou can see your skeletal reflection here. It represents the different classes on the Dark Plane that canât be surpassed. I have a Six-Winged Skeletal Reflection, which puts me in the upper class, but Iâm not a ruler,â Ashaâruiya explained.
âWhat about me? Can you see my skeletal reflection?â MO Fan pointed to where his reflection should be and asked in puzzlement.
Actually, Ashaâruiya had checked his skeletal reflection right at the beginning.
However, what she found disappointed her.
It was just a reflection of himself.
She had thought that she would see MO Fanâs appearance as a devil or his true form as the Evil Saint King. After all, MO Fan embodied these two divine entities, and he was certainly not a minor figure on the Dark Plane.
Meanwhile, those without a skeletal reflection represented the lower class of the Dark Plane!
âGood thing youâre traveling with me. My six wings can help you out of many difficult situations,â Ashaâruiya said.
âWhat? Does my skeletal reflection show that Iâm the least impressive on the Dark Plane?â MO Fan asked with displeasure.
Everyone in the mortal world knew who he was, yet he had no skeletal reflection on the Dark Plane.
That meant he was insignificant, and it was unacceptable!
This would not do. MO Fan had to find the one who made the rules on the Dark
Plane and demand a change. Those without a skeletal reflection were the most impressive!
âLetâs go. Just act as if youâre one of the rebels I brought back from the mortal world. Itâll save us a lot of hassle,â Ashaâruiya said.
âSeriously? Do things follow a set process in the Dark Plane too? Isnât it supposed to be chaotic and lawless?â MO Fan asked.
âThe more chaotic it is, the more rules there are. Because if you accidentally upset some descendant of any important figures, youâll have endless trouble. I hate dealing with trivial matters and trouble, so please donât cause me any problems,â Ashaâruiya said.
âOkay, okay. Iâll do as you say, my baby,â MO Fan assured her.
Ashaâruiya loathed being called âbaby, â but she just rolled her eyes and ignored it.
After they took a few more steps forward, a door appeared.
It was shaped like a hoof, and MO Fan immediately noticed it standing there alone. There was nothing behind it.
However, a Minotaur suddenly walked out of the door. He was playing with a palm-sized ball and sporting a star-shaped nose ring.
He also had a skeletal reflection. However, since he was standing in the doorway, MO Fan could not see the area of thin water behind him. As such, MO Fan did not know what his skeletal reflection looked like. It probably resembled that of a wild ox.
âYour Highness, Iâve been eagerly awaiting your return every day. Would you like to test my kissing skills?â The Minotaur grinned lewdly.
âShut your dirty mouth. Iâm taking this rebel to see the Duke of Shadow. Let us pass,â Ashaâruiya said.
âOh, you donât need to escort this lowlife yourself. I have some wine that Iâve stored for two thousand years. Would you like to take a bath with me?â the Minotaur said.
MO Fan and Ashaâruiya had reached the door by then.
Despite the Minotaurâs vulgar language, he opened the door and let them pass.
There seemed to be nothing behind the door, though.
MO Fan did not understand why there needed to be a doorkeeper in the first place.
However, upon entering the door, MO Fan discovered a different sight. The walls ahead of them were covered with purple, red, and black plants. The whole thing looked like a twisted forest of dark elves with vibrant colors, but they were actually âindoorsâ!
âAre we inside now?â MO Fan asked.
âYes.â Ashaâruiya nodded.
It seemed that the Minotaur beside them was about to speak again. But MO Fan suddenly turned and grabbed his nose ring!
âMO Fan, donât cause any trouble!â Ashaâruiya shouted.
However, MO Fan had already yanked out the Minotaurâs nose ring. His nose bled. and he howled in Dain.
âHow dare you!â the Minotaur roared. Like two erupting volcanoes, his eyes burned with rage and gave off an intense pressure!
The Minotaur raised his hand and threw the two balls he had been playing with at MO Fan.
At first, MO Fan thought that they were just walnuts. But after the Minotaur threw them, he realized they were actually planets that could explode at any moment!
The fact that the Minotaur could use planets as handheld toys showed that he was not an insignificant figure!
However, MO Fan was not someone to mess with either.
He opened his hand and turned it slightly. Then, a swirling black hole appeared in front of him!
As the two exploding planets were about to kill MO Fan, the black hole effortlessly swallowed them and sent them to outer space.
The Minotaur was dumbfounded when he saw MO Fan effortlessly deal with such powerful energy.
âIâll start by cutting your tongue!â MO Fan said fiercely. He then swiftly moved toward the Minotaur.
He transformed his hand into the Dimensional Blade and slashed at the Minotaur.
With a swing, the blade sliced through the Minotaurâs tongue. His tongue dropped to the ground, and a pool of black blood mingled with the thin water.
Oddly enough, the blood-stained water became even clearer!
The Minotaur was terrified. He covered his bloody mouth and quickly backed away.
âIf you dare speak inappropriately to my baby again, Iâll chop your head off! I have a searing hatred for Minotaurs!â MO Fan pointed at the filthy and despicable doorkeeper and warned fiercely.
The Minotaur was so scared that he resorted to mooing. He dropped to his knees and begged for mercy.
Ashaâruiya sighed.
Well, this doorkeeper did need to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, any female passing by would have to endure his disgusting remarks.
âHeâs the Duke of Shadowâs illegitimate son. Spare him,â Ashaâruiya said.
âWhat? Illegitimate son? The duke and a cow⊠Wow, thatâs really something!â MO Fan exclaimed in surprise..
