Herag could indeed use rule monitoring to observe this Abyssal Cultist from afar, but that would consume too much Magic Power.

Rule monitoring is currently only suitable for short-term combat and warnings, and cannot be used as a regular reconnaissance method.

Herag took out a bottle of fine wine, opened it, and strolled leisurely down the road, as if indistinguishable from those drunkards.

...

The night sea was somewhat chilly. Although Assas was a Level 2 Wizard, he couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

He looked at the ruins hidden in the darkness ahead, and his footsteps moved resolutely.

Assas was once a talented Wizard with outstanding aptitude.

Due to the policies of the Boundary Land, even though he was born a commoner, he received the treatment he deserved and the attention he merited.

Assas soon advanced to a Level 2 Wizard and enjoyed many things he had never dared to dream of before.

Born into poverty, he had never seen such lavish indulgence and quickly became ensnared, unable to extricate himself.

His personality underwent some changes as well, originally introverted and self-abasing, Assas soon became arrogant, considering himself invincible and others inferior.

Assas had liked a girl for a long time, since childhood, a girl he instantly liked on his first day at the Wizard Academy.

But naturally self-abasing, until graduation from the Wizard Academy, he never dared to say a word to that girl.

The girl came from a Wizard Family, a distinguished lineage, and Assas did not think his life path would ever intersect with hers.

Even later, during his studies at the Wizard Academy, Assas gradually discovered he seemed to have some Wizard Talent, yet he still dared not speak to her.

Just a look from the girl made Assas feel as though he were struck by the Petrification Technique, as if his mind too were petrified, his thoughts ceased to work, let alone conversing.

After graduation, Assas was noticed by a major financial force and received abundant resources for nurturing, encountering many lifestyles he had never encountered before.

When Assas felt he had achieved success, he believed he had the qualification to talk with the girl, perhaps even take it further.

Assas then bought the finest attire and necklace, along with a bouquet of the freshest roses, to visit the girl.

However, to Assas's surprise, the girl was very much unfamiliar with him, having no memories of him at all.

In her memory, it seemed there had never been such a classmate.

What Assas didn't know was that during his time at the Wizard Academy, he was reclusive, rarely interacting with others, leaving little impression.

With so many people at the Wizard Academy, how could anyone remember someone with no presence?

Assas felt something shattered inside him, and what surged forth was anger.

He didn't even know why he was angry, as it was clear she had done nothing wrong.

Yet Assas was infuriated, and a fit of anger led him to take the girl's life.

When Assas came to his senses, looking at the room filled with blood, he realized what he had done.

He wanted to escape.

But this was the Boundary Land, a place where crimes like his, committed with no planning or premeditation, could not evade the pursuit of the Boundary Land Guard Team.

Being merely a Level 2 Wizard, he was insignificant in the Boundary Land.

Capture, bring to justice, sentence, execute.

The Wizard Family behind the girl was powerful, propelling the entire process swiftly, and Assas was quickly sent to the gallows, the special gallows for Wizards.

With no background, Assas naturally had no power to resist during this process, and he did indeed commit these acts.

However, the night before his execution, Assas received a friendly greeting from that Plane, changing his destiny.

The other party provided him something, allowing him to be executed, cremated, but still come back to life.

After resurrecting, Assas received help from other Abyssal Cultists, gained a new identity and a new appearance.

It seemed he could live anew as a completely different person, but that was only applicable to ordinary people.

Assas could never advance to a Level 3 Wizard, as his identity could not withstand scrutiny, and a thorough investigation would expose him.

In the Boundary Land, it was not easy to disguise one's identity, nor could it be truly disguised; it was only a question of how much disguise one could achieve.

The evaluation for advancing to Level 3 Wizard was extremely strict, and Assas's identity could not withstand examination.

He could only exist as a Level 2 Wizard for his entire life.

But this no longer mattered, Assas had never understood what the meaning of his existence was until he encountered that great being.

Assas suddenly realized that he had never had much presence since childhood, nor was he valued.

If he could somehow create something out of it, it seemed it would be a worthwhile venture.

The Boundary Land was certainly strong, but the Abyss Plane was even stronger.

Assas thought that if he could bring about the downfall of the Boundary Land, it would certainly count as an interesting event.

He loathed this place, loathed everyone and everything here.

The Boundary Land indeed had a faction of Abyssal Cultists, but they were very secretive, rarely congregating on a large scale.

Communication among them was also extremely cryptic, never using the Wizard's Mark for communication, and even seldom meeting.

Assas had stayed in the Ocean Plane for a long time, not for tourism, but to study various ruins here.

He sent back various information from here, and the research concluded that beneath Giant Stone City was actually a massive Teleportation Array.

When the Ocean Plane faced an apocalyptic disaster, they were not passively awaiting doom, but developed methods to transfer to other Planes.

There are many such ruins on the ocean floor of the Ocean Plane, and those that remain well-preserved are generally those with Teleportation Arrays.

The Ocean Plane once used Teleportation Arrays scattered across the World to reach a certain Plane to survive.

The Teleportation Array now naturally cannot be used, having passed so many years and submerged in the ocean for so long, it was already defunct.

The Boundary Land also discovered these matters, confirming the Teleportation Array was unusable, only holding research value.

The Teleportation Array here in Giant Stone City was even more dilapidated, completely impossible to use.

But Assas did not waste these years, his talents indeed very remarkable.

With the help of other Abyssal Cultists, under the guidance of the presence in the Abyss Plane, Assas completed this Teleportation Array.

He engraved the missing part of the Teleportation Array into his own body, after years of experiments and validation, finally confirming it was entirely effective.

It was now time to activate this Teleportation Array, although the destination was different from those once of the Ocean Plane; his destination was the Abyss Plane.
