Chapter 179 178: Ominous Magical Formation
Anon stood rooted on the spot, a mixture of astonishment and disbelief etched on his face as he stared at the source of familiarity in the depths of the blood pool.
'This was definitely not what I expected.'
Anon had this thought as he gazed at one of the most complex, if not the most complex magical formation he had ever seen. The complexity and intricacy marveling Anon.
Despite the depths of the blood pool, Anon could see numerous magical symbols engraved unto the walls of the pool, and the floor of the pool. These magic symbols were linked together, forming an intricate, complex and large formation as a result.
Not only that, the magical formation exuded an aura that gave Anon the chills. The aura felt evil, malicious and downright destructive to Anon, making Anon to realize that whatever the purpose of this formation was, it had zero intentions of doing good.
'Wait…It's not just one formation, there's more than one formation… It's like, there are formations inside a formation, which also has another formation in it. They're nested into each other!'
Anon's eyes widened in surprise as he noticed how complex, how high tiered the magical formation truly was.
'But what is then giving me a sense of familiarity?'
Anon squinted his eyes as he tried to pinpoint the source of his sense of familiarity. His pupils moved, scanning the walls of the pool and the pool floor, careful not to miss anything of sort. His determination to find the uncanny familiarity was at an all time high.
A few second later, Anon's eyes widened when he realized what it was that was actually giving him a sense of familiarity. He shifted his gaze and with squinted eyes, his gaze landed on a certain magical symbol.
'Isn't that a magical symbol similar to one of the symbols in the teleportation spell?'
Anon squinted his eyes the more, trying to see the magic symbol more clearly, but the distance and opacity of the blood pool made it difficult to discern the blood pool clearly.
In fact, if not because the magical symbols were a little bit large in their size, and his eyesight was in fact better than a lot of other tier 1s, he would definitely not be able to see the magical symbols.
Anon frowned, refusing to be undeterred, his extremely black eyes changed. His black eyes receded and his black sclera and irises replaced to that of a pure silver color, while his pupils changed to that of a golden triangle.
As soon as Anon's eyes changed, his range of vision increased and the magic symbol engraved in the wall of blood pool became much clearer in his eyes.
'Much better.'
A small smile formed on Anon's lips then with a focused expression he decided to inspect the magic symbol for a moment.
'The symbol is one of the most crucial symbols in the teleportation spell… It's this symbol that serves as a conduit to interact with space. But…'
'This symbol is at a higher level than that of the symbol in the teleportation spell.'
Anon's brows furrowed in thought, his eyes glistening with a calculating light as he observed the spatial magical symbol.
His attention then shifted to the floor of the blood pool, and there he saw more of the symbols.
'I guess I'll study this later. It's too complex to study now.'
As Anon had this thought, his eyes changed, reverting back to their original state.
'I'm guessing I should be ready for an annoying and frustrating dangerous situation in the future.'
Anon released a sigh then he turned around and walked towards the Terror Queen who had an expression of curiosity in her eyes as she watched him approach her. A few moments later, Anon stood before her then he calmly removed the fabric covering his lips and mouth.
"What did you see in the blood pool?"
The Terror Queen asked, her voice brimming with evident curiosity.
Anon glanced at her, his head tilted slightly and his eyes had a confused light in them.
"You didn't reach the blood pool?"
Anon asked, confusion evident in his tone. The Terror Queen shook her head and after a brief glance towards the blood pool in the distance, she spoke:
"I didn't dare approach it. My subordinate that died was a tier 3."
Anon's eyes sparked with a light of realization as he realized from the Terror Queen's brief words, she had the right to be wary of the dangers of the blood pool.
"Well that explains your ignorance."
Anon spoke and the Terror Queen's eyes twitched. The urge to beat the impudent and arrogant tier 1 before her welled up in her heart, but knowing the level of Anon's importance to her and her daughter's wellbeing, she quelled the urge.
But…
"Also, if you want to know the dangers of the blood pool and it's contents, check it out yourself. You're a tier 3, behave like one, stop being a coward."
Pop
A vein on the Terror Queen's forehead pulsed, almost popping in anger, and with eyes that could kill, she gazed at Anon.
"You have no right to lecture me on cowardice. You're the biggest coward I've ever seen."
She retorted, her tone containing an extreme amount of anger, and Anon just shrugged nonchalantly, maintaining his nonchalant demeanor.
"I was being careful and cautious."
Anon replied, his tone containing a tinge of sarcasm which was unnoticed by the Terror Queen.
"I was also being careful and cautious you dimwit."
The Terror Queen shot back and a slight smile formed on Anon's lips.
"Then who's the bigger coward between us?"
"What?"
A baffled expression appeared on the face of the Terror Queen as her brows furrowed in thought. But a second later, realization dawned on her. She looked at Anon and when she did, she saw him having a small smile on his lips.
The smile vexing her to no end.
'Should I severe his fingers then place his fingerless hands inside scalding oil? After that I boil his penis and balls, then make him chew on it?. Or maybe…?'
The Terror Queen's eyes grew darker and darker as she gazed at Anon who had turned his back on her, and Anon not knowing the terrifying dark and violent thoughts popping up one after the other in the mind of the Terror Queen, had a nonchalant expression as he walked to the exit of the cavern they were in.
Although, even if he knew about the Terror Queen's dark thoughts, he wouldn't have been concerned about her harming him, all due to two reasons.
The first been that according to her intuition, he was her only hope of survival… at least for the time being.
And the other, was because her daughter's life was still in his hands.
So despite him mocking her on purpose, Anon was not worried about the consequences.
As for why he decided to mock her?
It was all because of he wanted to get back at her for calling him a coward. Sure, others might call that petty behavior, but he didn't care since he felt like been petty at that point in time.
"By the way, could you please pick up the pace. The main reason I came here was to discuss business, not deal with an ominous blood cavern and pool. As I mentioned before, I'm a business man just here for business."
