Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 225 Operation!

The fissure in the throat of the dead is no longer a simple ravine.

It seemed to have become a terrifying wound stretching across the earth, constantly spewing out gray-black death energy and dark purple corruption!

Above the rift, a slowly rotating, dark red energy vortex with a diameter of over a kilometer formed, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring at its center, and space twisting erratically.

Around the crack, there was an endless army of undead!

Skeletons, zombies, ghosts, and skeletal beasts—like a black tide—guarded the crack.

Among them, at least five enormous skeletons, like moving mountains, can be seen slowly moving through the tide of the dead, their eye sockets burning with terrifying soul fire of various colors.

Above the rift, a grotesque altar, hundreds of meters tall and hastily constructed from countless bones and decaying flesh, is slowly "growing" out from the depths of the rift, supported by gray-black energy!

At the top of the altar, several gray-robed figures could be vaguely seen busily working. Vast amounts of death energy poured into the altar from the cracks like a waterfall, and after being transformed by the altar, it was injected into the huge energy vortex above!

The ritual has entered its final preparation stage! That cold, ancient, and greedy wave of intent, like the breath of a awakened beast, emanates continuously from the depths of the crack, growing clearer and more oppressive!

"They—are almost ready." Ella's voice was hoarse.

Luo Lin ended his meditation, walked to the observation hole, glanced at it, and his heart sank. The scene before him was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Within a sea of ​​undead and energy field of this scale, the success rate of executing a disruptive contract is—

But he had no room to back down.

I checked the time; there was less than half an hour left before the base's planned feint attack.

"Check the equipment and adjust its status," Rolin whispered.

"The moment the base's feint attack begins and the undead horde's attention is drawn, we'll rush out, getting as close as possible to the edge of the crack, and find the location where the contract connection has appeared!"

Ella inspected each arrow and placed the special arrow in the most convenient position.

Liana gave the last few purification amulets to Rolin and Ella, while she herself placed the bottle of highly effective holy power restoration potion within easy reach.

Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere inside the cave became so oppressive it was almost frozen.

Only the increasingly rapid flashing light of the oval object inside the isolation container and the complex fluctuations constantly transmitted by the silver flower seedlings hinted at the dramatic changes in the outside world.

Finally, at the very moment the clock struck the appointed time.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the far north, in the direction of the Seventh Forward Base, dozens of dazzling energy beams suddenly lit up!

Immediately following was a muffled explosion like rolling thunder! As planned, the base's long-range artillery and the wizarding order's combined spells launched a fierce feint attack on the undead gathering area north of the Throat of the Dead rift!

The explosion's flames illuminated half the sky!

An energy shockwave swept across, blasting large numbers of the undead to smithereens!

As expected, the horde of undead around the rift began to stir! Large numbers of undead, including two giant skeletons, started to turn north, surging and roaring towards the direction from which the attack originated!

opportunity!

"Now!" Roland shouted, grabbed the scalding hot insulated container, and rushed out of the cave first!

Ella and Liana followed closely behind!

The three of them shot off like arrows, rushing at full speed toward the southern edge of the crack that had briefly thinned due to the movement of the undead!

The base's feint attack drew most of the attention, but many undead remained in place, especially in the core area near the rift and altar.

The moment the three appeared, they were spotted by the nearby undead!

The skeleton turned and raised its rusted sword. The zombies roared and pounced, while several ethereal vengeful spirits shrieked as they charged toward Rolin, who possessed the strongest mental power!

"Don't stop! Charge forward!" With his left hand holding the container, Rolin continuously unleashed the [Spiral Star Arrow] with his right, the silver-white arrows accurately piercing through the soul fire or core of the approaching undead!

Ella's arrows never missed; each shot brought down an undead.

Liana contracted the purifying aura around the three of them, resisting the erosion of death energy and the mental impact of the vengeful spirits.

The three worked in perfect harmony, like sharp knives, tearing a gap in the chaotic horde of undead and getting closer to the edge of the crack that was radiating terrifying energy fluctuations!

We're less than 200 meters from the crack!

It was already clear that on that deformed altar, several gray-robed wizards were surrounding a huge, complex magic circle made of bones and corrupted crystals, performing their final incantations and manipulations!

At the top of the altar, a thick beam of energy, a mixture of gray-black, dark purple, and pale white, was slowly rising and connecting with the energy vortex above!

The isolation container in Rolin's hand was so hot that he could barely hold it!

The dark red light on the surface flickered violently like a heartbeat!

The grayish-white, egg-shaped objects inside the container looked as if they were about to hatch!

right here!

The area with the strongest contract resonance!

Luo Lin suddenly stopped and slammed the container down on the ground.

Almost simultaneously, he felt an immense, cold, and ancient gaze pierce through the spatial and energy turbulence and land on the container!

At the top of the altar, a pale wizard, exceptionally tall, dressed in a dark gray robe trimmed with dark purple patterns and holding a bone staff with a huge purplish-black gemstone at the top, suddenly turned his head and looked in Roland's direction!

Beneath the hood, two crimson, blood-red lights suddenly shone!

"Those who steal the sacred covenant—die!"

A hoarse, yet powerful and furious mental roar crashed directly into the minds of the three!

At the same time, the energy pillar at the top of the altar trembled violently!

A blurry, enormous phantom of a contract, composed of countless twisted runes and soul chains, existing between reality and illusion, slowly emerged above the altar, at the intersection of the energy pillar and the vortex!

The contractual connection has been revealed!

The Moon Silver Flower seedlings floating in front of Luo Lin radiated an unprecedentedly dazzling silver light.

The light was not dazzling; instead, it carried a warm and ancient aura, as if the essence of moonlight, which had been dormant for countless years, was awakening at this moment.

The silver-edged patterns on the leaves seem to come alive, flowing slowly to form an extremely complex three-dimensional pattern full of natural rhythms and the passage of time.

The moment this spiritual energy spread, a strange, brief stillness appeared on the battlefield.

The undead that were lunging at Rolin and his companions suddenly stopped, the soul fire in their eye sockets flickering, as if they were instinctively repelled and confused by this sudden surge of life force that was so different from the corruption of death.

At the top of the altar, the tall, pale wizard holding a purplish-black bone staff had a sudden, intense flicker of crimson light in his eyes. It wasn't anger, but rather a kind of—surprise and uncertainty.

He stared intently at the glowing seedling, as if he recognized something, yet found it hard to believe.

Even the cold, ancient, and endlessly greedy fluctuations of thought deep within the crack showed a very subtle and imperceptible tremor, as if something familiar yet strange had touched its heartstrings.

The phantom of the contract, composed of twisted runes and soul chains, that had just appeared above the altar trembled slightly under the impact of the Moon Silver Flower's spiritual fluctuations. The gray-black and dark purple luster flowing on its surface showed a slight discordant disorder!

The opportunity has arrived!!!
