Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 697 The dust has settled
Without any hesitation, Amian immediately used his strongest technique.

His core secret technique is light. When evolved to its extreme, he can transform himself into a stream of light, releasing lasers with stronger penetrating power and without any quantity limit.

Of course, this state cannot be maintained for too long.

However, now is the best time to use it.

He was sealed within the magic circle, and four war wizards were eyeing him menacingly. He could even vaguely smell the scent of death.

If you don't work hard now, you'll never have the chance to work hard again.

Damian's magic was drained, and a burst of light and heat erupted in an instant.

Countless laser beams emanated from Damian's body, intertwining within the area.

Dense fluctuations appeared on the magic array barrier, like ripples spreading across the surface of water. Due to the barrier's isolating properties, the light was refracted back and continued to collide and vibrate violently. Every second, the amplitude of the barrier's vibrations increased significantly.

It is clearly already teetering on the brink of collapse.

Is there any hope?

Damian didn't expect to be able to defeat the four war wizards; he just wanted to escape.

If they don't show a desperate fighting spirit from the start, dragging things out will only leave them with no chance. The current war is not their goal; it's about evacuation. Killing themselves is not their primary objective. As long as killing themselves requires more energy than they anticipate, they will most likely prioritize the mission.

Thinking of this, Damian added fuel to the fire: "If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave. War wizards are indeed powerful, but there are many forces in this world that dislike war wizards. As long as I delay for a while and wait for reinforcements to arrive, you won't be able to escape even if you want to."

"Although this will divide up some profits, with four war wizards as materials, the loss should not be too great."

Noah hesitated.

Through his mind probe, he could sense that the other party was not lying; he truly had reinforcements, and someone was indeed risking their lives to attack their war wizards.

Noah subconsciously glanced at Li Daoxian beside him, his eyes revealing a questioning look.

Clearly, he wanted to know the best course of action in this situation.

Li Daoxian said with a smile, "Any decision is acceptable; the current situation is still under our control."

As he spoke, Li Daoxian reached out and gently stroked the turbulent magic array. In an instant, it calmed down, as if a pair of large hands had smoothed out the wrinkles.

The ripples created by the laser light falling on it became smaller.

Li Daoxian optimized the magic array, specifically improving its resistance to high heat and light.

Clearly, there was no problem in continuing to hold out for the time being. Damian's hope of forcibly breaking the magic array was extinguished by Li Daoxian.

Noah's mind was racing.

The safest course of action is to evacuate with the intelligence. The wizards below are in chaos, and Damian, the only threat, is imprisoned here. They can evacuate without any obstacles.

but……

Noah also had something else he was very concerned about: who had leaked their evacuation plan?
If this matter is not clarified, then even if it is completely resolved, there will still be hidden dangers.

Furthermore, although Damian has reinforcements, it will take time for them to arrive.

Damian's current abilities are impressive, but this is probably his limit. It's mostly bluffing. Noah is unwilling to leave like this.

If the stalemate continues, it should be perfectly feasible to withdraw once reinforcements arrive.

The jumbled thoughts were sorted out in Noah's mind in just a moment.

"Keep going! Let's speed things up and take him down."

Noah made up his mind, and his gaze toward Damian was filled with determination.

Li Daoxian, Yuan Hua, and Melissa exchanged a glance and smiled.

Li Daoxian said, "In that case, let's finish this quickly."

The eye-shaped runes on the runestone floating above Melissa's head shone brightly.

A faint mist appeared above Damian's head, with a gap in the middle from which a colorful cloud of mist emerged and spread out instantly.

The spreading colorful mist instantly enveloped the original mist above Damian's head. The next moment, the colorful mist seemed to be drawn away by something and returned to the gaps.

It was visibly noticeable that the mist on Damian's head had thinned considerably.

Damian seemed completely unaware of all this. He didn't see any mist above his head, nor did he see Melissa's methods. He only felt a momentary weakness in his heart. Even though his magic and spirit were fine, and he had used his strongest state, he actually felt a sense of unease.

What exactly happened?

Noah noticed the unease in Damian's eyes, and the restlessness that came with it.

Noah could clearly see Melissa's methods through the mental network.

'Is that the Chaos Spell? Judging from its magical effects, it should be similar to the ability to bewitch; unless the opponent has a way to observe chaos, there's almost no way to counter it.'

In other words, this spell is practically guaranteed to hit a wizard who doesn't understand the concept of chaos.

Noah was quietly gathering information, but he didn't miss this golden opportunity.

He raised his hand and cast a Disintegrate spell, followed by using his Supermagic feats, Spell Upgrade and Spell Enhancement, to cast a Killing Curse.

Two spells, one after the other, burst forth from his hands.

Damian, in his form of light, could sense the magical threat before him.

"Trying to finish this quickly? You underestimate me. Without a Domain Wizard, you won't be able to take me down."

Damian's body transformed into four streams of light, darting in different directions, maneuvering and shifting within the magic circle, trying to evade the incoming magic.

His transformation into light simulates the speed of light. Although it cannot reach that speed, its speed is still not to be underestimated.

Li Daoxian clasped his hands together, and a large number of black tentacles appeared from the magic array.

Damian's gaze sharpened, and he focused a great deal of attention on the tentacles.

However, these black tentacles did not wrap around him and block or squeeze his space of movement as he had imagined. Instead, they remained in their positions on the surface of the magic circle, forming one strange shape after another.

The tips of the tentacles split off, forming even smaller tentacles, which twisted and formed strange runes.

Damian had never seen these rune shapes before, and he was certain that they were not from any of the common rune styles used in the wizarding world.

This starkly different magical method intensified Damian's unease.

Damian forcibly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, thinking: There is no other way but to deal with each move as it comes. There is no way out in this situation. Either hold on and escape with your life, or you die.

The next moment, Damian suddenly felt a strange rhythm around him.

This rhythm made him sense the aura of a domain. A domain wizard?!
Damian's expression changed drastically.

The opponent they're targeting this time actually includes a domain wizard?

Damian's scattered rays of light vanished at the same time, and the next moment he reappeared in the same spot where he had fled. It was as if time had been reversed.

Upon returning to his original spot, Damian immediately realized that he was not a domain wizard, but rather someone who had barely acquired some of the abilities of a domain through special methods.

But for Damian, it made no difference.

Although his light-transformation technique was good, he had no chance against attacks at the domain level; there was a qualitative difference between the two.

Just then, Yuan Hua also laughed loudly and said, "Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature."

As Yuan Hua finished speaking, the light from Noah's deadly curse suddenly surged.

The already howling magic was now accompanied by gusts of eerie, deathly wind.

Yuan Hua used an amplification spell.

Damian, who was immobilized in place by Li Daoxian, had no choice but to endure the two spells.

The first Disintegration spell directly destroyed the shield barrier and even the entire magical equipment on the body.

Theoretically speaking, the disintegration technique has a certain probability of breaking down these things, and the situation of breaking them all down without leaving a single one is extremely rare.

Noah could see clearly that the mist above Damian's head lowered and became more subdued the instant the Disintegration spell hit him. This effect was obviously inseparable from Melissa's Chaos Spell.

The next moment, the Killing Curse struck Damian head-on.

Damian's body, made of flowing light, was shattered in an instant.

Life was extinguished, and light faded away.

It fell straight down from the sky.

Noah remained expressionless. The next moment, he pulled with his right hand, and the green light of the Killing Curse enveloped a soul, which was pulled out from the falling corpse.

It transformed into a stream of light and entered Noah's palm.

Noah handed the document to Li Daoxian: "Check his memory for information about the person who leaked the information."

Seeing Li Daoxian nod in agreement, he waved again and used a levitation spell to pull the corpse over. Although almost all the magical equipment on the corpse had been destroyed, some of it was still intact.

The storage bag and storage ring remained undamaged under Noah's control.

After all, it would be troublesome if any intelligence remained in the middle and was destroyed.

"Let's go, we can retreat now."

Noah put away the storage bag and placed Damian's body inside as well.

Damian himself did not expect that he would be defeated before he could even use any of his methods. He thought that if he was in full force, he could buy some time, but he was defeated before he could even use any of his methods.

The four of them worked together so smoothly that each person's secret technique played a crucial role, and together they achieved an effect far exceeding the sum of their individual skills.

Black tentacles spread from Li Daoxian's body, enveloping Damian's soul and meticulously reading the memories within.

Noah looked down at the wizards still fighting in the melee. Some of them had already discovered Damian's death and had lost all will to fight. They were fighting and retreating, passively responding.

Noah did not leave, but instead headed towards the evacuation area.

Upon reaching the evacuation zone, the four felt the call of the spatial rift and began to sink rapidly.

After leaving the evacuation zone, they returned to the war command post.

Noah looked around with some curiosity at the furnishings, which were different from their command center in Aquarius, but very similar.

Li Daoxian had also finished sorting out Damian's memories, including all the key information, and placed them in the mental network for everyone to view.

The only unfortunate thing is that they don't know who leaked their escape plan.

From my memory, all I know is that a mysterious person told Damian the whole evacuation plan.

However, they did not come away empty-handed. At least from Damian's memories, they learned what Damian had obtained from the ruins.

Just then, a gaunt old man walked over.

His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Noah: "Your performance exceeded expectations. When Li Daoxian recommended you, I had some doubts, but now you've proven them right."

"I still have a lot to learn from all the teachers."

Noah handed over the intelligence, along with the black sphere he found in his storage ring.

The gaunt old man put away the black sphere and said with a smile, "Very well done. I will report it, and in addition to the promised merit, there should be an extra reward."

Li Daoxian said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Wizard Bagu."

The wizard Bago shook his head, offered a few words of encouragement, told them to rest well, and then left.

Noah was puzzled as to why it wasn't over yet. Just then, he saw several teammates hand him a ball of light at the same time.

Li Daoxian said with a smile, "You should have seen our abilities from the mission just now. Each of us has provided some secret techniques as a reward for your outstanding performance. However, you can only choose one."

Noah looked at it.

The ball of light in Li Daoxian's hand was black, with some faint white specks within it. Judging from its shape and color, this secret technique was most likely controlled by the tendrils of the Revelation Tree.

The ball of light in Yuan Hua's hand was transparent, with the outlines of various things vaguely evolving within it, but they were all transparent, without color, only blurry shapes.

Perhaps it's a secret technique for amplification?

Or perhaps, it's that secret technique that transfers damage?

Melissa held a runestone with an eye shape engraved on it, the most common one Noah had ever seen, which should be a Chaos Spell.

Noah unconsciously wiggled his fingers, then his gaze swept over the three rewards.

The black tentacles that Li Daoxian rewarded him with are very good, with multiple functions and amplification in various situations. The Mind Probe should be further optimized.

However, Noah will inevitably join the classical alchemy school in the future, and Li Daoxian is his teacher. He is very likely to pass on this secret technique to him. Choosing now is not the best option.

Instead, I should take this opportunity to acquire the secret techniques of the other two teachers, since these techniques are unlikely to be available again in the future.

Teacher Yuan Hua's amplification effect is obvious to all, and Teacher Melissa's techniques are mysterious and unpredictable. Both played important roles in the mission just now. Which one should I choose...?
