Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 705 705: Nicholas

Herag noticed the Butterfly Queen's gaze, then glanced at Toad, and asked, "Do you know her?"

Toad also looked bewildered, shaking his head, "I don't know her."

The Butterfly Queen heard their conversation and immediately said, "You don't know me, but I know you. Through countless millennia, you've always been with me. Unfortunately, while your body is here, it's missing a soul. Now, finally, your soul has returned."

Herag was shocked after hearing that and asked, "Is Nicholas's body on your side?"

"Nicholas? So that's the name of my dear, I like it. Yes, his body is here with me. I've preserved it well all these years," said the Butterfly Queen.

Toad crawled into the void ahead and asked, "Why is my body with you? And how did it reach the Plane of the Insect Race?"

"It's a long story..." the Butterfly Queen recalled.

...

Long ago, the Plane of the Insect Race engaged in a plane war with the Abyss Plane.

The Abyss Plane invaded the Plane of the Insect Race to battle, and naturally, the Plane of the Insect Race also invaded the Abyss Plane to fight.

At that time, the Sixth Ring Tower had just been trapped in the Abyss Plane not long ago, also falling into the attacks of countless demons from the Abyss Plane.

In fact, many demons were treating them as invaders from the Plane of the Insect Race, thus attacking them. The situation was very tense then.

Therefore, as soon as the Sixth Ring Tower entered the Abyss Plane, it was besieged.

Nicholas went out at that time to investigate the situation and prepare for the future.

However, Nicholas encountered danger outside and was pursued by both the Plane of the Insect Race and the Abyss Plane.

In desperation, he could only let his True Spirit detach, while his body was captured by those from the Plane of the Insect Race.

The ones who obtained his body turned out to be the Butterfly Insect Race.

At the time, the Butterfly Queen was still a princess of the Butterfly Insect Race. She fell in love with Nicholas at first sight, a love that lasts to this day.

As the Butterfly Queen's power increased, she also clarified Nicholas's condition.

The body is alive, but the soul's whereabouts are unknown.

However, judging from the body's various states, the soul is intact as well, just in a dormant state.

Over the years, the Butterfly Queen searched everywhere but found no trace of Nicholas's soul in any corner of the Plane of the Insect Race.

In the end, she could only conjecture that the soul was located in the Abyss Plane.

After the Plane of the Insect Race ended the plane war with the Abyss Plane, the Abyss Plane had long since moved far away, its whereabouts unknown in the Endless Plane, leaving the Butterfly Queen with no clue where to start searching.

Later, one day, the Butterfly Queen suddenly realized that Nicholas's soul should have awakened.

Being with Nicholas's body every day, her perception of these changes was exceptionally keen.

The Butterfly Queen anticipated that her reunion with Nicholas was not far off, having waited all these years.

As soon as Nicholas entered the Plane of the Insect Race, the Butterfly Queen sensed it immediately and was extremely excited on the spot...

Then the Butterfly Queen led people to locate the exact position. When they confirmed the position, they discovered that Nicholas was heading this way.

The Butterfly Queen felt a rush of happiness when finding Herag and the three others.

Afraid of scaring them away, she suppressed her desire to meet Nicholas right away, directing her subordinates to surround the three but absolutely forbidding harm.

After listening, Herag looked at Toad with a peculiar expression and said, "Looks like you might link up with a wealthy woman."

Toad glanced sideways at him and then said, "What about my body?"

"Here it is." The Butterfly Queen waved her hand, and a white stone floated over, with a person vaguely visible inside.

"Heart of the Insect Race..." Herag immediately recognized the material of the white stone.

Inside this Heart of the Insect Race was a man, wearing an ancient wizard robe, lying inside with closed eyes as if in slumber.

"It's indeed my body." Toad, looking at the body, felt somewhat emotional and poignant.

After all these years, he finally got to see his body once more.

Toad's perception naturally wouldn't be wrong; the feeling was very strong now, no surprise he felt his body suddenly drawn near—the reason was right here.

The Butterfly Queen preserved Toad's body using the Heart of the Insect Race, nurturing it with Mother River Power.

Not only does this ensure the flesh is not eroded by the passage of time, but it also gradually grants this body the ability to communicate with the Mother River.

Simply put, this body itself is already the body of a Level 7 Legendary Life.

This was the outcome of years of preservation with the Heart of the Insect Race, a method beyond ordinary people.

"For all these years, I've preserved it well, finally awaiting the day of your return." The Butterfly Queen tenderly stroked the white stone.

Toad, meanwhile, did not show much emotion and said, "Can you return it to me?"

"Of course, I've been waiting for this day."

The Butterfly Queen finished speaking, waved her hand, and the Heart of the Insect Race began to dissolve, with the Mother River Power starting to enter the body.

The excess Mother River Power will be stored in the body and can be called upon and absorbed later.

When the Heart of the Insect Race completely dissolved, Toad's flesh was revealed, indeed somewhat handsome in appearance, looking quite young, seemingly in his twenties.

Nicholas's body, under the Butterfly Queen's control, slowly moved forward, floating to Toad's front.

Toad cautiously examined the body's condition, not rushing to let his True Spirit merge.

No matter the Butterfly Queen's attitude, he would carefully inspect it, not completely trusting her words.

Even if everything the Butterfly Queen said was true, Toad needed to see if it was appropriate now to integrate.

While Toad was inspecting, the Butterfly Queen kept watching him.

After a while, Toad emitted a certain aura, a white light emerged from within his body, and then disappeared into the physical form.

Herag was also observing this process, instructing Shenlan to record all relevant data as documentation.

Meanwhile, he watched over Toad and the body's state, preventing any accidental mishaps.

After a while, Nicholas slowly opened his eyes, a gleam flashing through them, and he smiled at Herag, "Thank you!"

Herag waved his hand and smiled, "You're welcome."

Toad had helped him so much; doing this for him was nothing.

That's just how Herag is; whoever is kind to him, he will surely give back, even if it means taking risks.

This venture into the Plane of the Insect Race can be considered complete.

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor obtained the Heart of the Insect Race, making it not a pointless trip; it wasn't for nothing that Herag served as a guard.
