"Master Blind … Welcome."
Nora and the elderly Mage hurriedly went forward to greet the figure.
An old man wearing a long robe appeared in front of them. His hair and beard were all white, and there was a bandage wrapped around his eyes.
He looked haggard as though he had been malnourished for a long time.
However, Nora and the old Wizard Walker were extremely respectful towards this old man.
Although this blind old man was much younger than them, everything he did for this continent had benefited millions of lives.
One had to know that this blind old man wasn't a human. He was an Elf.
One must know that the blind old man in front of them was not a human, but an elf.
The Blind One.
Peeking at fate was a dangerous thing. Everything had its own trajectory, but the price to pay for it wasn't small.
Of course, this old man didn't have the ability to control the Fate Realm like Nabelius. So, all he could do was use his talent to obtain the answers he needed from the fragments of fate.
Of course, this kind of peeking at fate would bring danger to the person being peeked at. The Fate Realm had its own defensive measures, which was why most prophets were careful when they prophesied the future.
However, this kind of peeking would also bring danger to the person being peeked at. The Fate Realm had its own defensive measures, which was why most prophets were careful when they prophesied the future and spoke ambiguously.
Because if they spoke too clearly, they would be more closely connected to the Fate Realm, which meant that it would be easier for the Fate Realm to seek revenge on them. As a matter of fact, few prophets had good endings. Most of them ended up in tragedy.
If it wasn't because of an accident with a spell, they would become crazy, or because they learned secrets that they shouldn't have known and were killed. There were even some people who had extremely tragic fates. It was good that they were unlucky, but it wasn't as if their whole family had died.
And the prophets who could truly peek at fate and live to this day weren't humans.
The blind old man before them was one such example. He was originally an Elf Mage, but in order to avoid the backlash of his prophecy, he resolutely used a strange and powerful magical method to erase his name.
This also meant that the Realm of Destiny would no longer be able to find him through the Feedback of Destiny.
Naturally, there was no way for him to retaliate against fate.
But even so, he paid the price — the answer could be seen from his eyes that were covered with bandages.
Because of this, those who knew him called him "The Blind One". If it wasn't for the urgency of the situation, they wouldn't have invited him.
After all, predicting the future was a very dangerous thing, and the price to pay for it was their own life.
Not only that, but the feedback from peeking at fate might be fatal.
Even a blind person could be in deep danger.
"My apologies, Blind One, we …"
"Say no more."
However, before Nora could finish, Blind Man waved his hand and interrupted her.
"I can feel that evil power, the destructive reverberation brought about by the rotation of fate.
This time, we will face unprecedented darkness and death. I've already made my decision. Since we're already here, there's no need for pleasantries … "
The blind man turned around and gazed at the elderly mage beside him.
"Then, the situation is urgent. Let's get started as soon as possible."
"Okay."
Upon hearing the blind man's words, the elderly mage skipped the useless pleasantries. He was also clear that they were racing against time. If they couldn't find the hidden fifth Star of Disaster soon, the situation would worsen.
Therefore, he nodded solemnly and lifted his head to look at the star before him.
"If my guess is correct, the Star of Disaster should be hidden in the area between the Orion Constellation and the Hunter Constellation. As for the specific location … I'm sorry, I can't be sure. Its location is uncertain, I can't …"
"That's enough."
The blind man nodded. He took a few steps forward, faced the starry sky, and spread his arms apart.
"Adula … Masiaia … Milayapo …"
Along with the blind man's chant, a beautiful circular ritual circle appeared beside him. Then, three spheres vaguely emerged from the air, revolving around the blind man like stars revolving around the sun.
Looking at this scene, Nora's and the elderly mage's expressions changed slightly.
Of course, they knew that the blind man was casting his self-created prophecy spell — Destiny's Trajectory. The three spheres represented the past, present, and future.
This was also the control that the blind man used to peek into the Fate Realm.
However, the information displayed in the three spheres could only be seen by the blind man.
As for Nora and the Archmage, all they could see was the sphere itself.
Faint rays of light emerged from the spheres and connected with one another. Looking at this scene, the elderly mage and the elderly mage put on a solemn expression.
This was the blind man using the projection of the Fate Realm to search for the Star of Disaster.
After a few moments, there was a deep hum.
The bandage wrapped around the blind man's head automatically unraveled and he opened his eyes. There was only pitch-black darkness in his eyes.
At the same time, the blind man opened his mouth and words emerged from his mouth.
"I saw … the fifth Star of Disaster … It didn't flicker … It was obscure … I could only see its shadow, but I couldn't detect its existence …"
"As expected."
The elderly mage puckered his brows once again.
He didn't expect the fifth Star of Disaster to be so hidden that he could only deduce its existence through the fall of the other Fate Stars. And now, the blind man had finally confirmed the existence of this Star of Disaster. However, he could only see its shadow … He couldn't find its true body …
"Did you find anything related to this Star of Disaster?
Anything will do! "
Along with the elderly mage's question, the three spheres hovering around the blind man began to revolve once again. After a few moments, the blind man finally spoke.
"The West … Endless darkness … It's the darkness that spreads from the shadow of the Star of Disaster. It covers everything …"
"The West?
Darkness? "
Nora and the elderly mage exchanged glances. But before they could think further, the blind man's body began to tremble violently.
"What, what is this?
This darkness … No, this is the starry sky, the boundless starry sky … No, no, no, no, I don't want anymore, don't come …!
This isn't what I want, I already know enough!
My head, my head, an indescribable, indescribable fear … It's coming, all things will wither, everything will perish, everything … Ahhhhh …! "
Suddenly, the blind man let out a blood-curdling scream. At the same time.
A viscous and stinky aura suddenly erupted from his body, then turned into a dark mist that quickly spread in all directions.
"Not good!"
Looking at this scene, Nora and the elderly mage were taken aback.
Then, they exchanged glances with each other. Nora raised her right hand, while the elderly Mage immediately raised his staff.
Along with their movements, a flickering magical barrier instantly appeared and imprisoned the dark clouds within it.
But what they didn't expect was that not only was the mist not imprisoned, but it also began to corrode the magical barrier. In the blink of an eye, the magical barrier that was flickering with colorful brilliance turned pitch-black and dull.
"How is this possible?"
Looking at this scene, the elderly mage was so astonished that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. One had to know that he had released a Space Isolation Barrier that separated even space. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything that could break through such isolation.
But what he didn't expect was that the dark mist could actually pass through the cracks in space!
How is this possible?
Boom!!
At this moment, the trembling blind man in the magical ritual shrieked as though he was struck heavily by something. He flew backward and crashed into the barrier. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, the pitch-black mist seemed to have lost its support and gradually became indifferent, before disappearing into the air silently.
In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.
Nora and the elderly mage heaved a sigh of relief. They gazed at the unconscious Blind Man in the middle of the ritual circle and exchanged glances with each other with lingering fear.
What exactly happened just now?
"Blind man, are you alright?"
Even though they couldn't figure it out, they removed the barrier in time and went to the blind man's side to ask worriedly.
Upon hearing their voices, the blind man panted a few times and nodded slowly. The two of them heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the blind man's reaction.
"What happened just now?
Blind man?
You said that you saw darkness. What exactly was that? "
Nora asked hurriedly. Based on the blind man's words, he could tell that it was definitely unusual.
This made Nora even more nervous.
Upon hearing Nora's question, the blind man pondered in silence for a few moments before shaking his head.
"No … I-I can't say for sure … I was just following the clues that you provided … I wanted to trace it back to its source. But … I saw it … I can't say. I feel like I'm going crazy. I don't know what I saw, but I know it's definitely not what I wanted to see … I feel like I've gone crazy. Just a glance at that thing and my spirit has reached the brink of collapse. I'm afraid if I'm any slower, I'll be a complete lunatic now …"
"So then …"
"Someone realized that I was spying on them and took action."
The blind man said with a bitter smile.
"I'm sure that it's definitely one of the four Stars of Calamity. The other party has been paying attention to the fate of the fifth Star of Calamity and it seems like they don't intend to let anyone touch it … An existence that can do this … isn't something that I can resist.
But fortunately, because of the other party's interruption, I was able to break free from that crazy connection. If not, I might not even have the chance to return alive. "
The blind man said and closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry, but this is all I can help you with …"
Upon hearing the blind man's answer, Nora and the elderly mage exchanged glances and let out a heavy sigh.
It seems like the situation is getting more and more serious.
