Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"Splash—"

Without the restraint of the coffin, the mass of flesh expanded wildly, growing into a mountain of flesh in an instant, even shattering the crystal chandelier on the top of the palace.

"Gurgle gurgle... Swish! Swish!"

The next moment, several layers of fleshy waves suddenly rippled across its surface, and in the blink of an eye, several thick tentacles sprang out from them.

"Swish! Swish!!"

The tentacles swept straight toward Valerius, and within a second they had entangled the stunned Valerius.

"Splash—"

However, at this moment, "Vallerius" was a fragile blood body, and after being hit by the tentacles, it immediately disintegrated into a pool of blood.

"Splash, splash..."

The blood flowed slowly, quickly spreading to the girl's feet.

"Whoosh—"

And following closely behind were those bloodthirsty tentacles.

Clinging tightly to the blood on the ground, their fleshy surface writhed and greedily sucked up the blood.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

……No!

If one's soul is sensitive enough, one might still faintly hear Valerius's mournful cries echoing throughout the palace.

"..."

And so, the tentacles swam rapidly across the ground, licking the blood clean in the blink of an eye.

But seeing that there was no blood, the tentacles slowly rose again, then changed direction and locked onto the girl not far away.

"Whoosh—!"

Unfortunately, the girl was one step ahead of them.

"Buzz—"

She quickly raised her hand, and the blood-red dot of light flew out from the mass of flesh.

The next second, the once incredibly excited mountain of flesh instantly went limp, and even its powerful life force vanished.

"Pat-pat, pat-pat..."

At the same moment, the tentacles that were attacking them suddenly froze and then fell limply to the ground.

"..."

"Hmm, looks like he's really dead."

A few seconds later, the "girl" carefully sensed the palace.

Seeing that Valerius was no longer there, he raised his hand and removed the mask from his head.

"Buzz—"

The next second, her original girlish appearance turned into a blood mist and slowly dissipated, replaced by a male face with short gray hair.

This person was none other than Hughes. At this moment, he removed the Blood Mask, revealing his true face.

"I never expected that the Five Rings family would also discover Valerius's identity."

Recalling the scene he had just witnessed, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

If he hadn't activated the Boundary Anchor in time, repeatedly teleporting between the Secret Realm and the Myriad Edges Tower, the aftershocks of those battles would have been enough to kill him.

Fortunately, he had previously left behind teleportation points anchored by rifts in the secret realm; otherwise, with the secret realm now closed, the teleportation points placed by Iluya would be unusable.

However, Rhoda's appearance and the subsequent battle were not part of their plan.

The original plan was that Elena had already obtained a piece of Valerius's symbolic blood and incorporated it into the "Spot of Light".

When the light is injected into the fleshy mass, the mutated fleshy mass, having absorbed all of Osiris's blood, will possess Osiris's characteristic of "devouring its own kind".

Furthermore, because it contains a trace of Valerius's symbolic blood, it will target Valerius for absorption.

After Valerius injected the blood-red light into the flesh in the treasury...

He would then transform into Iluya's appearance and teleport there through a pre-prepared teleportation point.

Iluya's special status among vampires was enough to make Valerius temporarily lower his guard.

At that time, he would take the opportunity to activate a level 2 sorcery scroll and use the level 2 sorcery inside to push the opponent into the mutated flesh.

At that time, the mutated mass of flesh will devour Valerius.

Hughes had his doubts about this method, wondering if the mutated flesh could actually defeat a level two wizard.

However, he wasn't too worried because he had the Boundary Anchor, since as long as he confirmed that Valerius would teleport him away immediately after making contact with the lump of flesh.

The only weakness of the meatball is that "spot of light".

It can cause it to mutate, and it can also restore it to its original state.

The so-called "spots of light" are actually tools made by Iluya using the blood of Osiris, which she obtained during the trial.

These points of light serve two purposes: first, they cause the flesh mass to mutate, and second, they effectively collect Osiris's symbolic blood.

So later, when Hughes was forced to meet Valerius.

Iluya then used some means to send the point of light into the other party's academy badge.

Then, he had the other party hand over the badge to Valerius in order to lure him into using the point of light to collect the symbolic blood and put it into the fleshy container.

That was their original plan.

However, because of Rhoda's appearance, Valerius had become so weak that it indirectly reduced the risk of their plan being implemented.

"..."

After resting for a while, Hughes touched the bloody brand on his neck.

"Phew... Iluya is really generous, she actually gave me a drop of symbolic blood to disguise myself."

After his initial shock, he looked up and surveyed the entire palace, his eyes gleaming with an almost palpable greed.

"Then, all of these are mine."

After saying that, he walked straight to the treasure chest that had not been opened before.

He had just opened two treasure chests and obtained several level-two sorcery spells, as well as scrolls branded with level-two sorcery spells.

The other treasure chests are naturally not much worse.

Thinking of this, Hughes immediately waved his hands, releasing several world-shattering impacts towards the surrounding treasure chests, forcibly breaking through the restrictions on them.

Now that Valerius is dead, these restrictions are naturally extremely fragile and were instantly shattered by the impact.

"..."

"We're rich! We're rich!"

In just a few minutes, Hughes ransacked Valerius’s treasury, taking not even the chests themselves.

Not only that, he also studied the blood-red secondary teleportation array in detail.

As for the treasures inside the chest, needless to say, most of them are comparable in value to the treasures in the Coral Oath Treasury.

After inspecting the entire palace inside and out, Hughes was finally satisfied and prepared to leave.

But before that, something suddenly occurred to him:

"By the way, that laboratory contains a lot of knowledge from Valerius's research!"

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was about to rush to that laboratory.

But before that, he placed the blood-red dot of light next to the lump of flesh.

This is for Iluya; she only wants Osiris's symbolic blood and this piece of flesh, and the rest is hers.
