Wizard: You can become stronger by living life to the fullest.

Chapter 124 021: Bloodline Spells

"A learned scholar has been invited from the city, bringing with him a miraculous potion that can cure the plague!"

That afternoon, the news spread like wildfire throughout Windbreak City, injecting new life into this lifeless city.

People celebrated their victory!

East Street.

"Great! We're saved! Vali saw it with his own eyes; the woman came back to life after drinking the potion!"

"It's a wizard! The potion must have come from a wizard!"

"Whether it's true or not, as long as this damned plague can be cured, that's all that matters!"

The streets were filled with jubilation, and some people who hadn't been out in a long time made a special trip out, or opened their windows to spread the news.

Inside a large, enclosed room.

Badr stood in front of the cross window, looking at the crowds celebrating their victories outside, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain.

Humans, these lowly creatures, never learn their lessons. This plague has recurred countless times. Weren't there times when it was cured? It seemed to be fine, but didn't it always relapse after a while?

Although this guy who appeared out of nowhere has cured the plague, Badr is sure it's only temporary, and the plague will spread again once he leaves.

Badr was absolutely certain of this, because—

He is the one who spread the plague.

Looking at the smiling faces outside, Badr felt a deep-seated disgust: "Laugh all you want, cheer and rejoice to your heart's content! The happier you are now, the more despair you'll feel later! Ah! Despair!"

As if recalling some delicious dish, Badr licked his lips, his eyes filled with excitement.

Completely lost in his frenzy, he failed to notice that the cheers outside were gradually diminishing.

Outside, out of Badr's sight, a squad of fully armored soldiers had sealed off the entire East Street. The soldiers silently knocked on the doors of each house and quietly led the residents out and moved them to the outside of the block.

Soon, the entire East Street was completely cleared out, leaving only the large house where Badr was located.

"Um?"

"Why is there no sound? Where did everyone go?"

Finally, even after eating another meal, Bader realized something was wrong. The neighbors were all silent—no, the whole street was quiet.

This is a residential area with a large population. Even during the worst of the plague, people could be seen on the streets at any time, and the cries and wails of people could be heard every day. This was the heavenly music that Badr loved to hear the most.

However, at this moment, the street seemed to be dead; there was no one in sight, and no one could be heard speaking.

"What happened?"

Badr quickly pushed open the door and went out onto the street.

Only then did he realize that a layer of fog had risen on the street at some point, engulfing the entire block so that he couldn't see the street scene behind the fog at all.

"Damn it, where did this fog come from?"

It's not even early morning, so why is there such a thick fog?

A sense of unease crept into Badr's heart.

"More than half of the households in Windbreak City have experienced plague outbreaks. Those that haven't experienced plague outbreaks are mostly in remote suburbs or sparsely populated areas. There aren't many households in densely populated residential areas that haven't experienced plague outbreaks."

Just then, a sound came from the fog, and a figure could be vaguely seen walking out of the fog.

Badr immediately became alert.

"We picked out these families and screened them again. The vast majority of them were local residents who had lived in Windbreak City for decades. There were only three outsiders. The other two families had come to Windbreak City with their families to escape the war. This happened after the outbreak of the plague."

"There was only one family living alone, with no social interaction. They claimed to be blacksmiths, but they never produced any tools. And coincidentally, a plague broke out shortly after they arrived in Windbreak City."

Badr's face darkened.

At the same time, Luo Xi emerged from the mist and stared at the middle-aged man before him: "So easy to locate?"

He seemed to be explaining to Bader, but there was a hint of doubt in his voice.

What puzzled Rosie was that the wizards who had come and gone to Windbreak City so many times before, even though it was such an easy thing, why didn't they solve it?

Badr looked embarrassed and nervous, never expecting that he had been exposed.

However, he soon noticed the badge that Rosie was wearing on her chest; it was the badge of a senior apprentice.

apprentice?

Badr was stunned for a moment, and quickly released his mental energy to observe the surrounding situation. However, no matter how he looked, he could not sense the presence of any other mental energy.

Luo Xi raised an eyebrow: "No need to look around, I'm all alone."

Badr's eyes lit up: "Just you alone?"

His previous tension vanished, and he scoffed, becoming arrogant: "You dare to come here alone?"

Baldr was already a high-level apprentice, and during this time he absorbed a lot of despair power, reaching ten runes, just one step away from becoming a formal wizard.

With the constant stream of powerful spells, he was absolutely confident of victory, as long as he didn't encounter a formal wizard like Baldr!

"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

Badr sneered, and blood-red lines lit up on the surface of his body. Then, his entire body began to undergo an astonishing transformation.

First, its body swelled and grew larger, suddenly increasing in size several times from its original height of 1.67 meters to 5 or 6 meters tall, transforming into a muscular monster whose clothes were torn apart, revealing its terrifying body underneath.

The body was covered with gruesome wounds, some several inches long and others several feet long, stretching across the entire body like a terrifying maw crawling in the middle of the belly.

He raised his right hand and immediately grasped a huge hammer several meters long. The handle alone was over five meters long, and the hammerhead looked like a solid iron house. Just looking at it, one could feel an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Bloodline magic?"

Rosie looked at the red magical runes emerging from Baldr's body; this reaction must be a bloodline-based spell.

This lineage of magic primarily focuses on combining powerful ancient bloodlines with one's own through magic, thereby enabling one to control that power.

Because it involves bloodline fusion to absorb power, this type of magic often requires a series of modifications to the body. However, the extent of these modifications made by the apprentices that Rosie has seen are very limited and cautious.

In Element Castle, even transplanting an eyeball or replacing skin is considered a major transformation. There's no one like this black wizard apprentice who's been transformed to the point of being neither human nor ghost.

"roar!"

Grasping the giant hammer, Badr roared to the sky, his whole body seemed to be on fire, his skin instantly turned red, and he seemed to be in a state of boiling.

Rosie's eyes lit up: "Bloodlust Berserk! You have the blood of an ancient giant!"

Bloodlust and berserk mode is a special ability possessed by the ancient giants, and the strength of the ancient giants will be greatly enhanced after berserk mode.

Badr didn't answer Roxi. In his berserk state, his eyes were filled only with madness and slaughter. He roared and charged at Roxi, swinging his massive iron hammer.
