Angele accompanied Stigma from behind as they ran along the plains at their fastest pace.

The cold gusts coming from the Abyss Canyon continued to brush across their face.

"What do you have in mind?"

While running, Stigma constantly surveyed the surroundings, as if he was searching for someplace.

"Well, we need to find a better place. You have seen how those servants of the shadow lord fight. Do not let them draw too close to you. Those people have a screw loose. They will sacrifice themselves just to kill their enemy."

"Seriously?" Angele squinted his eyes. "Wizards often try to desperately survive in battles, though. If those wizards really have no regards with their own lives, this will be a tough fight."

"That is how they almost killed me and my master. If not for the huge stock of high-quality healing potions, we would already be dead now." Stigma sighed. "Well then, this place should be good enough."

Suddenly, he stopped his movements and only remained standing at this particular place.

A giant blue hexagram appeared on a particular surface of the canyon’s edge as soon as Stigma stopped. The hexagram disappeared in but a split second, that Angele almost thought it was an illusion he had seen.

Stigma inspected the surroundings before taking out a handful of white dust, then he sprinkled it onto the ground. The white dust soon turned into smoke before it could touch the soil and disappear into the air gradually.

"What’s this?" Angele walked to Stigma and questioned him, "Do you know if they will come?"

"No. I am only being extra careful. This is a small trap I had set after I left the ruin. Come along." Stigma smiled and walked behind a boulder by the cliff.

The rock was about one meter tall. Stigma stopped behind it and disappeared without leaving any trace.

Angele started. He scanned the area using his biochip, but no mentality wave had been detected.

He did the same thing Stigma had just done.

*CHI*

There was apparently a transparent bubble behind it. It felt like walking into a thin layer of plastic.

For a second, Angele’s vision blurred before Stigma reappeared before him.

"Now we only need to wait for them to reach us." Stigma pointed at the trap.

Angele examined his surroundings. The rock and the soil were covered in dark red magic circles. Majority of the runes were figures of triangles that contained strings of such complexity within.

"You have put a great deal of effort into this."

"Of course. Last time, I almost got killed so I decided to be more careful." The smile slowly disappeared from Stigma’s face.

Angele nodded but did not speak. Right now, he was only thinking of seeing the extent of the strength of those servants.

The two wizards remained standing behind the boulder and patiently awaited.

About two minutes later, rays of eye-blinding golden light appeared from the sky.

Two flashes of lightning struck and landed on the empty ground in front of the particular boulder and soon formed into two human beings.

The man who had a crescent moon figure on his forehead started examining the particular location. His gaze soon fell on where the invisible hexagram was drawn.
