Stuck in a Chinese novel-Chapter 387: An unknown place

"Haa... Haa..." Wei Jun stood atop a pile of corpses while around him, many more orcs stood, a little afraid but ready to strike while some hooded figures, better known as Orc shamans, were chanting another spell, their language strange and the amassed power of darkness around them assaulting Wei Jun's senses as he tried to get a hold of them.

The battle hadn't been as easy as he had expected. The ache of the skill [Berserk] was a little more than he anticipated. Even with the immense Death Qi and Yang Qi, along with the green power in his heart, Wei Jun was on his last legs.

Having no choice, he sighed and looked at the system panel, ready to activate one last skill. A skill he had never used before.

However, just as he was about to use it to fight until the bitter end, something landed just a little ahead of him, creating a barrier around him. And soon... hell followed.

Wei Jun raised his head to look at a few robbed figures and people in armor, their chosen color black. Wei Jun looked at them, or more precisely, a woman in a robe at the forefront. She chanted just one spell, and the explosion that soon followed was massive. Much more than Wei Jun could have anticipated of a mage. They were... beautiful.

As soon as the dark explosion ended, the remaining orcs retreated, and all that remained in the snowy field, at the edge of the mountain, were Wei Jun and the multiple hooded figures.

Wei Jun raised his daggers in front of him, ready to counter if needed but the woman at the forefront raised her hand to stop the man beside her who was about to step forward with his sword raised as well. She looked at Wei Jun from underneath her robe, her eyes were the only thing Wei Jun could see under her robe, the eyes of darkness.

"You have two choices, ahead of us, prophet of Death." The woman spoke, her voice cold and pristine. "Live or die."

Surrender meant to live, and a fight meant death.

Wei Jun looked at the force she had brought and it wasn't anywhere less than the number of orcs. The orcs were running away in the distance despite their numbers and that was enough to speak of the newcomer force's power.

[You'll lose]

Wei Jun nodded and the daggers in his hands disappeared, making the man beside the woman frown as he couldn't help but say, "The prophet's a mage?"

"Shh." The woman quickly shushed the man and said, "Quiet. Bring him."

The man jumped in the air and landed just before Wei Jun. Unlike his expectations, Wei Jun didn't even flinch at the presence of the man. He just looked back at him, his eyes as cold as the woman's. The man even flinched at that cold stare and was about to yell back in defiance, the woman said, "Be quick."

The man went silent, holding his words back, he said, "Come with me."

Wei Jun just stared at him coldly and simply nodded. Wei Jun followed the man next to the woman whose half face could be seen now but not her entire face. Wei Jun could tell there was something about her face but Wei Jun couldn't be certain.

The woman raised her hands and chanted something for some time. A giant circle made of intricate designs appeared before Wei Jun's head, covering a good bit of the sky, covering every one of the woman's team and the ground beneath them began to glow.

The glow only brightened and brightened until Wei Jun's view outside of the glow trembled, retorted, and finally, changed.

What appeared before Wei Jun was a giant building, like a castle, and the scene was no less than out of a fantasy. A tall building, a giant no less, people walking by as if the sight of people appearing before them was normal, and most of all, what Wei Jun felt was...

[That's something]

'Something indeed.'

Wei Jun looked into the distance, at the giant statue that could be seen in the distance. The statue of a winged creature, its appearance majestic as if it was alive, not made of stone, and most of all...

[The mana is the same]

[The mana emitting from it belongs to...]

"Guardian." Wei Jun finished before the system could, not in his head at that, attracting the attention of the robed woman who turned to look at him but didn't say anything about it. Instead, she said, "We need to meet the master. Take him to clean his appearance."

The man beside Wei Jun nudged him on his shoulder, incurring a scary expression from Wei Jun that made the man step back a little in fright. In that crowd, Wei Jun was sure he could defeat everyone and the only one who could contend against him was the robbed woman.

[I have a guess there's one another]

Wei Jun nodded. The man mentioned as 'the master' by the woman, Wei Jun guessed he was the master of that place, his power of course, immense if gone by the setting. Wei Jun followed the man, in the end, ending up in front of a door that led to a luxurious room.

Wei Jun spotted a clean set of clothes on the bed but he ignored them. Once he had taken a bath, he changed his clothes from the system, purchasing an armored three-piece suit.

Wei Jun didn't remain in the room for a long time because he still had to familiarize himself with the layout of the castle. Wei Jun couldn't afford to be at a disadvantage and now that the ache in his body was a lot less and his Qi replenishment pill's cooldown had ended, he was sure he would be able to at least make an escape, even if he wasn't able to win the fight.

As Wei Jun left the room, the same man as before, the one who had guided him all the way there, a seventh star knight. By the standard of this world, a seven-star aura master was considered quite a force to reckon with but Wei Jun was stronger than him, that was for sure.

But...

"Follow me now." The same hooded woman from before met them at an intersection and said. Looking at her, Wei Jun could tell, he would lose. If it was just running away, he was confident in doing so. However, if it was a direct battle, then he would lose, ten out of ten.

[Such pure mana and already an eighth circle mage at her age]

[She's the real definition of talent]

[Much like Yan Rong]

The system offered its own opinion and Wei Jun wasn't one to dismiss that. Wei Jun simply sighed and followed after the woman, hoping for the good because he was sure, now that he was in the deep, surviving would be immensely difficult.

Wei Jun finally arrived along with the hooded woman in front of an ordinary door. It was nothing like the luxurious door of the room Wei Jun had rested in. It simply looked like a utility closet, or perhaps worse.

Still, as Wei Jun followed the woman who opened the door for him and entered before him, Wei Jun was amazed once he was inside.

An open space, tall expansive grass, lush trees, and a stream that flowed nearby, completed the serene scene with such beauty that even Wei Jun had to take a moment to admire the scene.

"Welcome." Wei Jun heard a jubilant voice and turned to look at a young man who made his way toward him, wearing a suit similar to his but a little older, much like from the eighties. One thing, however, was for sure. It didn't belong to that era.

"You must be Damien." The young man said with a welcoming smile as he extended his hand for a handshake but Wei Jun was more focused on what he had heard.

Still, he extended his hand and shook the young man's hand who hadn't introduced himself yet. The young man chuckled softly and said, "Haha, no need to be on guard. I was simply informed of your arrival."

"Arrival?" Wei Jun asked.

"Yes." The young man nodded before he turned to the woman and said, "You may take your leave now."

"Yes, master." The hooded woman bowed and left the door that was simply in the open space behind them. Once she was gone and the door closed behind her, the door itself disappeared.

Wei Jun looked at the young man with a questioning gaze to which he replied, "Haha, perks of magic, you could say."

Wei Jun didn't react in any way to that. The young man simply nodded and said, "You must be curious as to who I am. Well, all your questions will be answered. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Richard von Statham."

"Will you be answering my questions, Richard?" Wei Jun got straight to the point.

"Haha, I dare wouldn't," Richard replied before he said, "Come. My master is waiting for you."

"Master?" Wei Jun asked as he heard that word.
