“I never wanted to resort to force...” Heinze was actually feeling regretful. “I don’t mean that I can’t bear it, but it’s because those last remaining guards certainly had Derivatives with them.”

The Sorcerer Congress had been established for the purpose of controlling Derivatives under Newtlud’s initiative.

After so many years, even if they only encountered one serious incident every few years, they must have accumulated quite a number of Derivatives by now.

Removing the Derivatives that were superfluous or lacked combat peculiarities, there still had to be a few useful ones! This was the final trump card of the entire Sorcerer Congress.

Heinze had been investigating these Derivatives all this time, but he had not managed to find out anything. He even aroused suspicion.

At this moment, on both sides of the huge golden door, a few sorcerers collapsed.

Two senior sorcerers remained. One looked solemn and was wearing a pair of sunglasses!

That’s right, sunglasses! These kinds of cheap products found everywhere on sunny beaches! Sunglasses that absolutely did not match his temperament!

Fang Yuan and Heinze immediately felt goosebumps and took cover. “Derivative?!”

Splash!

The gaze of the senior sorcerer shifted toward a monster that was in midair.

With a ‘Poof’, the bat monster suddenly turned into a piece of strawberry cake.

Fang Yuan dabbed the butter at his side and smelled it. “Hmm, the butter is sweet, and the strawberry fresh!”

He was dumbfounded. “What is this? Cake beam? Turning targets in sight into cakes?”

One had to admit the peculiarities of Derivative could indeed be very strange. They were often full of the peculiarities of impermanence.

“Yes, cake... even our bodies would meet the same end if those sunglasses see them!” Heinze nodded.

His monster subordinates were only immune to spells. This effect, however, came from Derivatives. Their magic nullification barriers had no effect against the power of Derivatives.

The peculiarities of Derivatives were absolute. Even descended Demon Gods like them might not be able to resist.

“Fortunately... luck is on our side this time!”

Fang Yuan glanced at Heinze. The sly old fox nodded and flicked open a black cloak.

It was their loot in their earlier endeavor, the Invisibility Cloak. It could make its user disappear from the world and escape any detection.

This Derivative was obviously the nemesis of the sunglasses, which required gazing at its target.

The cloak covered Heinze’s body, and he instantly disappeared. Footprints appeared one after another on the dust-covered floor and headed for the golden door.

However, even if the senior sorcerer knew where Heinze was, even if he stared so hard that tears seeped out from his eyes, he could not do anything to Heinze under the cloak.

Bang!

Heinze arrived in front of him and unceremoniously took off his sunglasses. He then slapped the sorcerer against the wall.

“Ahh!!!”

The representative beside the senior sorcerer yelled. Holding what looked like a freshly-made pancake, he tossed it lightly.

Swoosh!

Light flashed. The pancake swept through Heinze’s waist and cut through the boulder behind him like tofu, sinking into unknown depths.

It looked like that pancake was sharper than any Divine Armament!

“Bastard...”

Heinze’s upper body fell down, and blood erupted from the opening.

Anyone would be in agony after being split apart at the waist.

Luckily, he was no mortal, but a Demon God. Even his original lifeform had changed.

On the huge wound at his waist, the blood seemed to have a life of its own. It flowed back into his body, and numerous flesh buds swiftly connected the lower half with the upper half.

“Old fool!”

The raging Heinze grabbed the old man’s limbs and tore them apart.

Whoosh!

The sorcerer split into pieces as organs and blood scattered across the floor.

“Truly incredible...”

Fang Yuan went to the rock face of the cave and managed to find the pancake with difficulty after using his psyche to search for it. He fished it out from the rock. “The sharpest object in this world is a pancake. Who would believe it...”

He could see that the senior sorcerer who had thrown the pancake was not a trained warrior and had merely casually tossed it.

But even such a toss had managed to cut right through the demon body that Heinze had been refining for a few decades without even slowing down. It was truly incredible.

“It’s a pity... there’s no handle. It’s easy to have an accident with this!”

Fang Yuan looked at the pancake, seeming conflicted.

What just happened demonstrated to him that this was absolutely an unparalleled weapon. However, he could very well cut himself if he were to be careless.

If it rebounded, Fang Yuan did not feel that this random body that he had chosen to possess would rival Heinze’s body in any way. He also did not have its regenerative powers.

“Damned old fool...” Heinze roared, “Just a bit more... just a bit more, and he would have really destroyed my body! Would you believe it? A Demon God killed by a mortal. That would be the greatest joke of the Mental Demon Realm!”

“Unfortunately, this world has been abnormal from the start...” Fang Yuan shrugged. “In fact... we’re pretty lucky, aren’t we?”

“That’s right. Looked like the two Derivatives that these guards had weren’t that powerful! However, the more powerful the Derivative, the more dangerous it is. Maybe the more powerful ones are sealed off by themselves!”

Heinze stepped forward with seven drops of blood floating in front of him. The blood suddenly fused and sank into a keyhole on the door.

Step! Step!

The puppet president now under his control stepped forward and said dully, “Golden Door! Open in the name of the president of the Sorcerer Congress!”

Kaboom!

The golden door opened and revealed a museum-like layout.

However, the displays were all empty.

“Impossible!” Heinze’s face twisted. “The last time I was here, this place wasn’t like this!”

He ran madly to the last crystal pedestal. The Philosopher’s Book should have been at the center of the crystals, but regretfully, it was empty as well.

The Philosopher’s Book had disappeared for some unknown reason.

“No! It shouldn’t be like this!” Fang Yuan was slightly shocked as well. “If it was a fake vault, then why did the guards risk their lives? The only explanation is that someone came here before us.”

He searched high and low in the empty treasure vault. Eventually, he found a note.

One of its corners was inserted into a counter. The entire note was sky-blue, and dark golden patterns decorated its edges.

“... Gentlemen, since the ‘Bunshinsaba’ has predicted that the Sorcerer Congress is no longer suitable for storing Derivatives, we will be taking the Philosopher’s Book, as well as the other Derivatives... You Know Who!”

“Damn it! It’s Primary Color!” Heinze growled. “I knew it... them loaning the Bunshinsaba was a trap all along... They must have used that Derivative as a catalyst and opened another passage to here! They emptied this place only just now! Not much time has passed!”

It was only during the hearing earlier that the powerful members, including the president, would briefly leave this place.

Unfortunately, Heinze had arrived one step too late. There was nothing left for him.

“The Sorcerer Congress used this treasure vault to store Derivatives. Its safety is unquestionable!” Fang Yuan shook his head. “There must be anti-teleportation spells inside... To achieve this, the easiest way would be to use Derivatives.”

Fang Yuan contemplated for a while. “Heinze, do you know what Primary Color’s most famous space manipulation item is?”

“I know... it’s a door. Legend says that you only need to attach it to a wall, and with the help of a catalyst, it can connect to anywhere in the world!” Heinze nodded solemnly. “They must have used the power of that door. Damned thieves! Swindlers!”

“They merely moved it somewhere. We still have a chance—”

Fang Yuan was about to console Heinze when he suddenly felt a slight pain and sense of emptiness.

It was a very strange sensation, as though knowing one’s clothes had been stolen.

Right, it was like something that was not really important had been stolen.

“Cr*p...” Heinze’s expression changed. “It’s Primary Color! They tore off the front spell page!”

One had to record magic in the Philosopher’s Book if they wanted the magic to be real.

If a page was torn off, the book would generate a new black page to preserve itself.

As for the effect of the spells that had been torn off, they would disappear.

After Primary Color got their hands on the book, it would no longer serve the Sorcerer Congress. They also needed to prepare for the possible revenge from the sorcerers. So naturally, the safest move would be to tear off all the first few pages of the Philosopher’s Book.

Without the power of spells, the sorcerers were just normal people. There would not be much they could do.

“Damn! Damn! Damn! Primary Color...” Heinze shouted hysterically. “I will never let you go!”

Even a Demon God would feel awful after their carefully prepared plans went awry.

“All right, we should be leaving as well!” Fang Yuan looked at the wall. The entire cave was shaking, and many cracks had appeared. “This place looks like it’s going to collapse!”

“That’s right... You’ve forgotten that this is on the peak of a big snowy mountain. Magic is required to maintain the existence of the White Sanctuary... And now, all that magic has disappeared!” Heinze smiled bitterly. “If we wait any longer, we could even be buried alive under millions of tons of snow!”

“Let’s go!”

Fang Yuan did not waste time and followed Heinze.

Their way out was even smoother than their way in.

All that stood in their way was unarmed ordinary people.

However, not only did they need to cope with the fact that they could no longer use magic, they now needed to escape if they did not want to be buried under the snowy peak along with the White Sanctuary!
