Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Faced with the impending attack, Valerius tried to dodge, but just as he was about to move aside, a surge of mental pressure came over him instantly.

——!

In an instant, his body was frozen in mid-air, unable to move an inch.

"laugh--!!"

The next moment, the beam of light pierced through his left shoulder, and large chunks of flesh were burned and disintegrated by the holy light, turning into scattered ashes.

But Rhoda did not stop there. A faint light flickered in the air, and beams of light poured down from all directions like a sudden storm.

"Whoosh!! Whoosh whoosh!! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

In an instant, countless beams of light slammed into Valerius one after another.

No matter how much he struggled, he could not break free from Rhoda's restraints and could only let the beams of light from all directions pierce his body.

Under the relentless bombardment of the beams of light, his body began to dissipate in large swaths, with no part able to withstand the scorching heat of the holy light.

But soon, crimson blood began to ooze from its wound.

Immediately afterwards, granulation tissue began to sprout from the missing part of his body, and it healed and regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But the next second, another beam of light came, blasting away the newly emerged bodies once again.

"..."

Meanwhile, Rhoda was not surprised by this. He knew that vampires were always tenacious, so he raised his hand and increased the frequency of the light beams.

"Whoosh!!! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!"

In an instant, blinding light filled the entire sky, engulfing Valerius as well.

At the same time, the beams of light adjusted their trajectories, locking onto Valerius's vitals and frequently blasting towards his head, heart, and other fatal parts.

"Pfft!! Thud!!"

The next moment, large swaths of blood mist exploded one after another, his head instantly burst open, and the wounds on his body continued to widen under the continuous bombardment.

However, with the infusion of massive amounts of blood energy, even these fatal parts regenerate and recover at an astonishing rate.

"..."

The battle lasted strangely for five minutes, during which a total of two hundred Holy Light Arbitrations were unleashed. During this time, Valerius was frozen in the air, his body repeatedly shattering and regenerating.

Rhoda has never stopped, and even now, he continues to launch the Holy Light Arbitration.

He did this to deplete Valerius's blood energy, rendering him unable to recover and unleash any strangely effective blood magic.

This was the experience he had gained when dealing with Osiris.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

At this moment, Valerius was still imprisoned in place, enduring the bombardment of the pillar of light, with blood energy constantly overflowing from his body, repairing the lost parts again and again.

Even as the holy light burned deep into his bones and even affected his soul, he remained calm.

Because he was thinking of a solution, a way to escape.

Unfortunately, this situation only lasted for five minutes before his blood energy reserves began to drop rapidly, and his recovery speed could no longer keep up with the rate of consumption.

No, this can't go on.

Looking around at the dense beams of light, his heart sank.

...At the very least, I must send out the symbolic blood of the adults!

With that in mind, Valerius immediately took action.

In an instant, the surging blood energy erupted once more, and a spherical force field constructed of blood energy instantly appeared around him.

Inside the force field, the pillar of light instantly dissipated, and even the mental pressure that imprisoned his body was no exception.

The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, Valerius immediately turned around and sped away.

"Whoosh—!"

Right now, his only chance of survival is to get to "that place".

Kroda, however, had already anticipated Valerius's actions.

At the same moment, he suddenly raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and a staff made entirely of dark gold instantly materialized in his palm.

The moment the spherical force field appeared, the golden gem embedded at the top of the staff lit up.

"Buzz—!"

In an instant, several chains shot out from the gemstone, heading straight for Valerius.

"Swish! Swish!!"

They were extremely fast, and Valerius did not get far before they caught up with him one after another.

"nail--!"

In an instant, the runic spikes at the end of the chain pierced through the blood energy field.

Immediately afterwards, the runes on the surface of the sashimi burst forth with bursts of intense light, instantly shattering the thick blood energy field.

"Crack!!"

The next second, the remaining chains came in quick succession, and the spikes at their ends pierced Valerius.

Valerius was about to dodge, but Rhoda beat him to it, immediately using a massive mental field to restrain him.

"Whoosh! Sizzle—!!"

The next second, a chain pierced Valerius's body first, striking him squarely in the heart.

"Hiss! Hiss!!"

Immediately afterwards, the remaining chains shot out, piercing various parts of his body.

"hateful……"

Valerius was about to break free when the spikes suddenly flashed and then exploded with a large amount of holy light inside his body.

"ah--!!"

In an instant, surging holy light rushed through his body, and even his eyes and mouth began to overflow with dazzling holy light.

"Swish, swish..."

Not only that, the remaining chains also wrapped around him, instantly binding his body tightly and locking him firmly in the air.

"Waaah...waaah..."

On the other side, Rhoda raised his hand and pulled, and the staff that had slipped from his grasp pulled the chain, dragging Valerius in front of him.

"Since you don't want to talk about it..."

He stared at the vampire struggling in the holy light, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes.

"Then I'll... drag your soul out and investigate it thoroughly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rhoda began to prepare his soul-searching technique, ready to peer into Valerius's entire memory.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the other party's memories concerned the entire Oren plane, even he wouldn't want to easily come into contact with the powerful soul of a second-level wizard.

Fortunately, these chains not only bound Valerius's movements, but also imprisoned his soul.

So now, he is like a fish on a chopping board, having lost all means of struggling.

"..."

However, just as Rhoda was preparing the Level 2 Soul Searching Technique, a bright red mark quietly appeared on Valerius's neck.

"Um?"

The next moment, Rhoda frowned upon noticing something amiss and immediately stopped drawing the outline of the Soul Searching Technique.

"Why can you still activate witchcraft?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely fierce surge of blood energy poured out from the other party's body.

"Boom—Boom boom!!"

The next second, the scarlet energy shattered the chains and swept outwards.

"Whoosh!!!"
