Chapter 207: The Origin of the Black Swamp
“Tell me everything about the Black Swamp.”
Flanders’s voice was heard.
At that moment, the blood spirit flower came to a sudden realization.
“You want to go to the Black Swamp?”
The blood spirit flower asked.
That was true. To ordinary people and weak mages, that place was hell. If they went, they would die, and they would not be able to come into contact with it.
But to strange creatures like them, that place was like heaven.
Because strange creatures were all the same.
They liked damp places the most.
That place was also the wettest place in the world.
And as long as they were stronger, they would have a greater say in that place.
For someone with his strength, even if he was not the strongest in the Black Swamp, there probably would not be many strange people who would dare to provoke him.
To powerful mages, that place was also a treasure ground because they could obtain a lot of strange creatures from there and then increase their strength.
Just as it was thinking about this.
Then, it saw the scarecrow opposite him looking over with a very frightening gaze.
The blood spirit flower instantly shivered.
Damn it!
Why did he think of asking it!
The other party wasn’t a good person, to begin with. What if it spoke too much and the other party changed his mind and wanted to kill it!
Countless thoughts flashed through blood spirit flower’s mind.
“My patience is very poor.”
Blood spirit flower heard the voice of the scarecrow.
It instantly did not dare to let his imagination run wild.
It used the shortest amount of time to sort out his thoughts, and then he quickly began to speak.
“The Black Swamp is a dark and damp land.”
“Wait…”
He had just said one sentence when he was interrupted by Flanders. The words in its throat were immediately stuck.

What’s wrong now?!
The blood spirit flower was very angry, but she did not dare to show it.
Then, he saw the scarecrow opposite him wave his hand, and a magic sword appeared in his hand.
Eh?
Why was it a little familiar?
The blood spirit flower’s attention was all on this magic sword. After thinking for a long time, it cried out in shock, “Apophis?!”
The demon Sword Apophis had just been summoned.
It was just about to greet its master.
Then it heard someone calling its name from the side.
It immediately looked over and found that it was the blood spirit flower that it had seen on the streets of Puls.
It was puzzled.
This blood spirit flower actually knew it?
“You… know me?”
Apophis asked in puzzlement.
This time, even Flanders’s attention was attracted. He looked at the blood spirit flower curiously.
The other party was obviously not trying to curry favor with Sword Apophis. Since he could call out its name, it was obvious that he really knew it.
Hearing the demon sword’s words, the blood spirit flower was speechless.
“I know you.”
The blood spirit flower explained.
“When I was in the Black Swamp, I also heard of you.”
So that was the case.
Apophis suddenly understood.
And Flanders was also very surprised. When Apophis was in the Black Swamp, it was a long time ago. At that time, its strength should not have been very strong, but this blood spirit flower had actually heard of its name…
Could it be that Apophis was very famous in the Black Swamp in the past?
The magic sword saw Flanders’s confusion and explained, “master, it’s not that I’m famous, but at that time, I was brought out of the black swamp by a mage. That mage was very strong.”
“That magician killed a lot of strange creatures in the Black Swamp, and I was his weapon at that time.”

“It’s because of this matter that I became famous in the Black Swamp.”
“Otherwise, with my strength at that time, I was nothing in the Black Swamp.”
So that was the case.
Flanders suddenly understood.
After a pause, Flanders looked at the blood spirit flower.
“Continue.”
“The magic sword probably told me a bit, so you can pick the main point.”
The blood spirit flower took a deep look at the magic sword before continuing.
“I’ve heard of it before.”
“The Black Swamp is actually not an ordinary swamp.”
Was this not a matter of course?
How could an ordinary swamp produce so many strange creatures?
Flanders thought for a moment but did not say anything. He continued to listen.
“That swamp was actually left behind by a terrifying strange creature.”
“I heard that the strange creature’s strength is above A rank, which is why it’s extremely powerful. It practically represents a true demonic god. That swamp was that strange creature’s resting place.”
Above A rank?
Hearing this, Flanders’s heart was burning.
An existence above A rank!
Although he knew that A rank could not be the most powerful existence, up until now, he had never heard of that strange creature that was above A rank, or a mage that was above A rank.
At present, in his impression, the highest level of the strange creature was the blood spirit flower’s main body, not these flower seeds… His strength had reached A rank.
As for the mages, it was naturally Nikorei from the headquarters of the Mage Association. Her level had reached A+ rank, which was simply amazing!
These two were the two highest levels that he knew of at the moment.
Other than these two people, he did not know who else had reached A rank.
From this, it could be seen how difficult A rank was!
This was even more so for those above A rank.
There was probably no one else other than the strange creature that the blood spirit flower was talking about!
Of course, while his heart was burning with a passion…
Flanders was also very conflicted.
Because right now, let alone those above A rank, he had not even reached A rank.
As for how to reach A rank…
He looked at the blood spirit flower, preparing to get some information from it later.
At this moment, the blood spirit flower’s voice sounded.
“After the strange creature left, that swamp still contained a lot of its aura.”
“Under the influence of this aura, all sorts of strange creatures were born in the surroundings.”
“And the more strangeness was born, the damper the swamp became, which gave birth to even more strange creatures.”
“The cycle repeated, which is why so many strange creatures appeared there.”
“…”
The blood spirit flower said a lot of things.
The more Flanders listened, the more interested he became. The more he listened, the more curious he became.
The magic sword by his side was the same. The eyes of the skull on the hilt seemed to be blinking as it listened attentively.
But it did not say much.
Because the magic sword had already told him a lot about the Black Swamp, the blood spirit flower only briefly added to this foundation.
The story about the Black Swamp was over.
Flanders looked at the blood spirit flower.
“There’s one more question.”
“Do you know how to advance to A rank?”
A smile appeared on Flanders’s face as he asked.
The blood spirit flower’s gaze had always been on Flanders. At this moment, when it saw Flanders’smile, its heart could not help but tremble.
At this moment, it was even a little afraid.
If she could not answer, it would very likely be beheaded on the spot.
[Fear Points +28,000]
The blood spirit flower was silent for a moment before she finally spoke.
“I don’t know much about advancing to A rank. I’ve only heard that there’s some sort of ritual…”

8 188Scholar of the Fog
Leaving a trail of blood as he climbed up a hill, his limbs felt like lead. He was gasping too, his lungs burning with every step he took. It felt like a bundle of broken glass was scraping away the inner walls of his flesh. He was dying, obvious to both him and his pursuers. And it would not be long till he dropped dead as he bled away. If not, the people chasing him would surely finished what they had came for. It was as if the Gods themselves had already predestined his fate. He took one step forward and stood at the peak of the hill. He let his legs rest as he could barely go on. Heaving deep breaths, he could hear sneering voices and shouts behind him. They were close, and the grim realization stoked the embers of his most primal fear. He did not want to die. He had dreams, like any other youth. There was glory to be had in this world. He wanted to learn more of life, and lived through its motions. He wanted to live. He swept his gaze, and across him was a spanning forest of old. With a glint in his eyes, and jaws clenched, he decided to gamble with all he had. He was dying, and by now, it did not matter where his grave was. He ran down the hill, and stopped where the plains and the forest met. His eyes swept about the trees, and he could feel an instinctual urge to drag himself away. He knew what this forest was, and here, he would find his salvation. Or his doom. The voices behind him grew closer, and among the noise was the faint clanging of steel. Gritting his teeth, he ousted all the will he had from the depths of his soul and stepped forth into the forest. Damned he be by the Gods if they wanted him dead. -new synopsis 10/6/2016 ---------- A new chapter would be released every friday. And the quality of writing should improve each time, hopefully. Another important thing to mention is how the story as of now, is only a bedrock for a massive world if it ever gets there. (CH18) And if possible, reviews are very much appreciated. ---------- For the ones who are interested in the old synopsis: With one foot in the grave, he ran away for that little bit of hope. Exhausted and bleeding, it was only a matter of time until he passed out. By then, his fate would be sealed and he would be no more. Thus, he had to make a decision that might just save his life. It was a gamble, he knew, but he had no He ran into the forbidden forest where no man had ever come back. He headed within, intending to scare his pursuers away. But they persisted in their chase, hounding him down until he was forced to take a step of no return. There, in the darkest depths of the forest, was the ghastly fog and behind him where men who wanted his head. Left with nothing else, he stepped forth and crossed the boundary of the living and the dead. Henceforth, his fate was forever changed. No longer just a scholar, but something more…
