Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"Whoosh—"

Soon after, Hughes activated the Shadow of Black Mist, transforming himself into a cloud of black mist and rapidly drifting towards the laboratory.

"Huuuuu——"

Shortly after he left, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared in the palace.

As the black mist dissipated, Iluya's figure was clearly revealed.

"..."

After landing, she first glanced at the chaotic palace, then her gaze quietly settled on the enormous mountain of flesh.

Although Hughes took out the crimson light, he only took away Osiris's symbolic blood and a portion of his life force.

Another part of its life force had been consumed by the mass of flesh and could not be separated, which also prevented the massive mountain of flesh from shrinking back to its original form.

"Da, da..."

Looking at the mountain of flesh, Iluya's eyes suddenly revealed a very complicated expression. She then slowly walked forward and came to the side of the mountain of flesh.

"Thank you for your hard work..."

She raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching the soft noodles, her gentle demeanor a stark contrast to her usual aloofness.

Rest in peace...

...swish

As soon as she finished speaking, Iluya's expression suddenly changed, and her already scarlet pupils began to glow with a bloody light.

"Pfft... gulp, gulp..."

"..."

A few minutes later, the mountain of flesh had disappeared, replaced by a shriveled piece of skin on the ground.

Iluya stood to the side, raising her hand to collect the crimson dot of light from the ground, leaving it to hover quietly in her palm.

"Buzz, buzz..."

The point of light contained the symbolic blood of Osiris, which, seemingly having just consumed Valerius, had been aroused and was now radiating a terrifying pressure.

Faced with this treasure that countless vampires coveted, Iluya's face remained completely expressionless.

"Whoosh—"

Immediately afterwards, she suddenly reached out and lightly touched the light spot, her wrist flicked slightly, and instantly a line of blood was drawn out.

"Whoosh—"

This is the symbolic blood of Valerius, which has not yet been fully absorbed by the symbolic blood of Osiris.

"As for you..."

Iluya stared coldly at the bloodline floating before her eyes, her tone devoid of any warmth.

"Thank you... for your contributions to the vampire clan over the years."

"Crackling... Boom—!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bloodline spontaneously combusted, rising up clusters of eerie crimson flames.

Under the scorching heat of the blood flames, the symbolic blood of Valerius gradually dissipated, turning into specks of bloody light.

"..."

Iluya stared silently at the flickering blood flames, her pupils appearing even more crimson in the firelight.

As the firelight subsided, she turned her gaze to the symbol of Osiris's blood, a flash of anger crossing her eyes.

"Da, da, da."

A moment later, she slowly walked to the secondary teleportation array...

……

Meanwhile, outside the spire of Valerius.

"Buzz—!"

Suddenly, a blinding burst of light exploded in the sky, drawing the attention of all the wizards in the academy.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

Immediately afterwards, a group of Order Tower wizards flew in from all directions of the spire, including the tower master, Frenz Amoseven.

At the same moment, the burst of white light also rapidly descended, automatically forming a barrier around the spire.

"Buzz..."

Under the influence of the barrier, the crystals on the tower instantly lost their luster.

Suddenly, the spire lost all its functions, and even the blood flowing in the crystal stopped flowing and slowly congealed into dark blood clots.

Upon seeing this, Frenz, who was above, immediately gave the order:

"Edwin, you must enter the spire immediately and capture Barossa Corradius."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blond wizard nodded in agreement and immediately led his patrol team into the spire.

"As for the others, immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the entire academy and eliminate any lurking vampires!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless figures shot out and flew to various parts of the academy.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

Suddenly, the entire Wanling Spire was completely sealed off, and the mobilization of all members of the Order Tower caused quite a commotion.

Soon, before the investigation had even begun, the news that "vampires have appeared in the academy" spread like wildfire and quickly reached every corner of the academy.

"What? Vampires?! Isn't that a race that's almost extinct?"

"Did you catch it? What does it look like? I read about it in a book, and it said it looks similar to a human."

"Sigh... Didn't you guys notice just now? Something's not quite right at Lord Valerius's Tower of Knowledge."

"..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Edwin had already entered Valerius's Tower of Knowledge.

Upon entering the tower, they immediately used binding magic to control all the people inside without saying a word.

After all, regardless of the truth, these people have had long-term interactions with the vampires, and to prevent any unforeseen changes, detaining them directly is the safest course of action.

However, their main purpose in coming here was to search for any information that Valerius might have left behind, and to capture Barossa.

After all, the other party was personally taken into the tower by Valerius, so they must be colluding with vampires, and may even be vampires themselves.

"..."

Edwin and his group quickly figured out the entire spire, but unfortunately, they were too late.

"Click—"

When the dimly lit secret room at the top of the spire was opened, all that came into view were hanging pipes and an empty experimental table.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

At this moment, someone stepped forward and said:

"Captain, we just received a notification that Barossa left the academy just a second before it was to be sealed off."

……

Meanwhile, outside the academy, a cloud of black mist was rapidly moving into the distance.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

Behind it, a semi-transparent barrier was rapidly spreading, sealing off the entire Wanling Pagoda in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, the figure in the black mist suddenly spoke.

"Thank goodness I managed to fly out first."

His original voice, which belonged to Barossa, has been completely changed, and he is now known as Aldek Nasir.

Thanks to the transplanted symbolic blood of Valerius, the two have already formed a certain bloodline connection in the unseen world.

Therefore, although the change came suddenly, Valerius was unable to notify others.

However, Aldek, who was outside the secret realm, learned of the other party's demise immediately.

So, although he didn't know what had happened, he sensed something was wrong and immediately set off, escaping before the academy closed.

...Whoosh! Whoosh!

But at the same time, several figures suddenly appeared from behind, who turned out to be members of the pursuing patrol team.

Seeing the approaching figures, Aldek immediately sped up.

It was obvious without even thinking that these people were there to arrest him.

"Damn it, what happened? Why did Lord Valerius suddenly die? Has our plan been exposed all along?!"

But it's not the time to think too much right now; escaping as quickly as possible is the most important thing.

Fortunately, he is now...

Things are completely different now.
