The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 104 New Journey

Ascalante, Kingdom of Fiore.

Weiss appeared out of nowhere in a dense forest. There were only trees all around him and he had no idea where he was.

"First, find a city and get some information about Fairy Tail to determine where the plot is going."

Then Wes took out his broom and flew into the air, trying to find any trace of the town from above. However, all he could see was endless woods and no one was living there.

"The location of this landing is too remote."

Being unfamiliar with the place, he had no choice but to fly along the direction of the river, hoping to find some clues.

After more than three hours of flying, Weiss finally saw smoke rising from a small village not far away. He lowered his broom and landed in the village's central square, immediately attracting the attention of the residents.

People looked at the sudden stranger with curiosity and vigilance.

A gray-haired old man, leaning on a cane, slowly walked towards Weiss and asked cautiously, "Master Mage, what is the purpose of your visit?"

"Hello, I'm lost. Which direction is the nearest city?" Weiss noticed the old man's nervousness and quickly comforted him, "I mean no harm. I just happened to be passing by here."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the west. "Follow this river and you will reach Harugeon, the nearest city to our village."

Weiss noticed that the villagers around him were holding weapons in their hands and were very alert.

He asked, "You seem scared?"

The old man didn't hide anything: "The Magic Council has issued a warning. There have been signs of dark guilds operating nearby recently. We are urged to be extra cautious."

"I see." Weiss could sense that the villagers did not welcome him, a man of unknown origin, so he took out a gold coin and flicked his thumb, and the coin landed steadily in the old man's hand. "This is the reward for showing the way."

After saying that, Weiss left the village on his flying broom.

The old man rubbed the gold coins in his hand and said, "He doesn't seem to be a bad person."

Weiss flew in the direction of Harugeon and gained a preliminary understanding of the situation on this land.

Suddenly, he sensed a strong wave of magical power coming from below. He made a sharp turn to avoid the attacking flames. The flames brushed past his ears, making a hissing sound.

"Who's there?" Wes shouted, lowering his broomstick to prepare for a possible attack.

Weiss looked down and saw five men with strange outfits and colorful hair, folding their arms and staring at him with ill intent. One of them, a man with a cockscomb, yelled, "Hand over everything valuable on you, or I'll make you pay!" As he finished, two balls of fire burst out of his hands.

It was this man with the rooster comb who launched the attack just now, trying to intercept Wes.

"Don't even think about running away. I'm good at flying magic. You can't escape." The man with the airplane haircut had a ferocious expression on his face and was very confident in his abilities.

[These people are the mages of the Dark Guild, what a coincidence?]

[And why would you reveal your magic to the enemy? ]

While Weiss was thinking, the five men thought he was frightened and shouted triumphantly, "Boy, now that you know how powerful we are, just get off the bed and we can spare your life."

Weiss slowly descended from the air and landed on the ground.

The man with the crew cut walked towards Weiss with an arrogant step and a contemptuous smile on his face.

"What? Are you too scared to speak? We..." Before the man with the crew cut could finish his words, he was hit by a powerful force. He flew backwards and hit the thick tree trunk hard. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

[People in this world seem to be more resilient. Using their bodies to resist magic will only result in them fainting.] Although the protagonist's magic in the comics cannot kill people, Weiss speculates that this may be related to the physical constitution here.

The other four people saw their companion being knocked unconscious, and they didn't expect that Wes would dare to resist.

They immediately assumed a fighting stance, ready to attack in unison.

"Damn it! Kill this guy!"

A magic circle appeared in front of one of the men with cockscomb hair, and flames erupted. The other three men immediately took action, each unleashing a different magical attack.

[The power of the magic is probably around level 3.] Weiss made a quick judgment.

A solid earth wall appeared in front of him, blocking four attacks and obscuring their vision.

The earthen wall was knocked down by the fierce attack, and smoke and dust were scattered everywhere. The four dark guild wizards continued to bombard it, but when the smoke and dust cleared, they did not find Weiss.

"Where's that kid?"

"Did you run away?"

"That guy has a magic broom. Did he escape from the air?" The man with the airplane head looked up at the sky.

Just as they looked up to find Weiss, Weiss had already used Apparition to appear behind them and hid his magic.

"Weave a net!"

A large net made of lightning enveloped the four people.

When the four sensed the magical fluctuations behind them, it was too late. The electric net blocked all their escape routes. They tried to use magic to fight back, but Weiss's magic power far exceeded theirs.

The electric net tightly wrapped around the four men, the powerful current instantly blackening them, leaving only their white teeth gleaming in the darkness. Even so, the four men remained alive and kicking. The wizards here were not only powerful in magic, but also in physical prowess.

Ascalante is full of magical power. The wizards here practice magic while not neglecting their physical training. The physical fitness of the people here far exceeds that of the wizards in the Harry Potter world.

【It seems we need to take drastic measures.】

Weiss cast another spell, completely eliminating several people. Then he looted their loot, but he only found a few coins and some worthless small items.

"Too poor." Wes threw the coins away in disgust and did not deal with the bodies of these people. Anyway, the beasts in the forest would not miss a free lunch.

Shortly after Weiss left, a tall and beautiful woman with long black hair, bangs, a white top and a yellow belt around her waist appeared on the scene.

"The Dark Forest Five were killed? That won't do. We still need more people at Leon's place."

She carefully observed the traces of the battle and found some clues.

"The person who attacked used some kind of earth-attributed and lightning magic. It was ruthless and decisive. It doesn't look like the work of a wizard from the Guild of Light. Who could have done it?"

Then a crystal ball floated next to her, "Just let me see what just happened?"

The scene of the battle just now appeared in the crystal ball.

She saw a strange young man holding a magic wand, casting a series of powerful spells, easily killing the Dark Forest Five.
