Six Ring Wizard - Chapter 240
Chapter 240: The Time Has Come
“Mr. Parker, how are things in Oberstein now?” Helag asked.
Parker replied, “Pretty much the same. The elves have brought in a new army of treants to bolster their defenses. But it doesn’t matter—we’re just trying to wear them down. We’re not in a hurry.”
The Shadow Altars had summoned numerous magical creatures, all with the goal of exhausting Oberstein’s forces.
Summoning creatures only required magic, which was a low-cost strategy.
However, the elves’ treants weren’t summoned; they were a species under the elves’ control, though not particularly intelligent.
Parker continued, “The three teleportation markers you placed are crucial. With those in place, the elves are doomed.”
“Once we’re ready, we’ll teleport in and completely wipe out the elves of Strange Valley. They won’t stand a chance.”
If Parker and his wizards teleported directly into the heart of the elves’ territory, the outcome was already clear.
Parker was simply waiting until they were fully prepared, with more powerful wizards arriving at Base 27. Once they had enough strength, Strange Valley’s elves wouldn’t be able to resist.
Helag listened quietly, not saying much.
Speaking less was always a safe bet—some things were better kept to oneself.
After leaving Parker, Helag returned to his cabin.
“My lord, you’re back,” Asna greeted him, dressed in her casual clothes, not as revealing as before.
She hadn’t known when Helag would return, so she hadn’t dressed provocatively.
Asna only dressed up for Helag.
Seeing him suddenly return, Asna was both surprised and delighted.
She had been sitting by the fire, reading some spellbooks Helag had left behind.
Asna had been diligently studying the principles and models of magic.
Though some concepts were different, the basics were similar enough.
Asna put down her book and ran over, throwing herself into Helag’s arms, hugging him tightly.
Helag stroked her back and asked, “Have you had any trouble while I was gone?”
Asna shook her head, “No, I’ve mostly stayed inside. Food is still distributed on time, and the wizards here have been too busy to bother me.”
Helag nodded, understanding the situation.
With the war escalating, the wizards had plenty to keep them occupied. No one had time to cause trouble for a servant like Asuna.
And since Asna was Helag’s servant, anyone causing trouble for her would be causing trouble for him.
Given that Helag had been out on a mission, Parker wouldn’t have allowed anyone to mess with him. Otherwise, who would feel safe going on missions in the future?
As Helag’s hand moved across Asna’s back, it eventually slid over her smooth skin, feeling the softness beneath his fingers.
After three months apart, they had missed each other dearly.
Reunions after separation always carried a special kind of passion, leading to a sleepless night.

The next morning, the cabin was a mess, with clothes scattered all over the floor, evidence of the previous night’s frenzy.
There was a knock at the door.
“Helag, are you awake?” Reese called from outside.
Helag sensed that only Reese was outside and said, “Come in.”
Reese opened the door, and the sight of her took Helag by surprise.
She had clearly dressed up, with flawless makeup that made her face even more captivating.
She wore a tight skirt that hugged her body, accentuating her curves.
When Reese entered and saw the two of them in bed, Asna quickly pulled the blanket over herself, looking a bit embarrassed.
Reese smirked at the scene, “Did I come at a bad time?”
Helag chuckled, “No, you came at just the right time.”

By sunset, it was clear that “one day” had turned into more than just a day.
Helag sat by the fire, cooking salted meat and vegetables.
Reese and Asna were both exhausted, too tired to cook.
Helag had initially wondered how to handle the situation between them after returning.
But once Reese had joined in, he realized he had worried for nothing.
This wasn’t his previous life—there was no drama or jealousy between Reese and Asna.
Both women were smart and knew Helag didn’t like unnecessary trouble, so they got along without any arguments or passive-aggressive behavior.
Reese and Asna had very different personalities. Asna was shy, even more so now with another person involved.
She had always been bashful around Helag, and with Reese present, her embarrassment only grew.
Even now, Asna’s face was flushed red as she hid under the blanket.
Reese teased her from time to time, “Little Asna is so cute.”
Asna blushed even more, trying to avoid Reese’s playful hands, nearly falling off the bed in the process.
“Stop teasing her,” Helag said, glancing over.
Reese laughed and stopped, letting Asna have a break.
A few days later, Helag, David, Reese, and Asna gathered in Helag’s cabin to discuss their next steps.
“According to Mr. Parker, the three of us will be able to enter the Land of Dawn. I’ll be joining Seranthiel directly, but you two won’t be able to join a wizard organization just yet. We’ll make further plans once we’re there,” Helag explained.
David nodded, “I’m already more than satisfied. Before coming here, I wasn’t sure if I’d even make it back. I was prepared for the worst. I owe everything to you.”
David was genuinely grateful to Helag, not only for saving his life but also for helping him gain entry to the Land of Dawn.
For a wizard from the Barrens, this was a debt of immense gratitude.
“It’s nothing. I have a feeling things won’t be easy in the Land of Dawn. There will be plenty of challenges ahead. We’ll deal with them together,” Helag said.
The wizards in the Land of Dawn were much stronger, and the problems they’d face would be more complex.
It would be best if the three of them could continue working together, as trustworthy allies were hard to come by.
For now, they stayed put at Base 27, waiting for the time to teleport back to the Wizard Plane.
Parker hadn’t assigned them any more missions, even though the other wizards were quite busy.
Parker had his reasons. While he saw great potential in Helag, he knew Helag was still too weak.
By not assigning them more missions, Parker was ensuring that Helag wouldn’t die in the War of Conquest, which would be a loss for him.
