Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

The strange sound rang out once and then disappeared.

The entire square was quiet, there was no wind, and it looked perfectly normal.

Dago was certain he wasn't hallucinating. He recalled the location from which the sound had come and turned his gaze.

A dragon-shaped statue of the Dragon Sorcerer Baháphus.

Dago remained calm and slowly walked towards the statue.

Beneath the robes, titanium flowed like water across his skin.

There are no free energy particles in the Spirit Realm, but that doesn't mean you can't cast spells at all. It just means that without the support of external free energy particles, the power of spells will be greatly reduced if you rely solely on the energy you generate or store yourself.

"Pat-pat-pat-"

The boots, crafted from the finest leather of a third-tier magical beast, stomped on the ground with clear and steady footsteps.

Dago approached the dragon-shaped stone statue step by step, examining it closely from the top of the black dragon downwards.

Nothing has changed.

Dago had an excellent memory. The moment he stepped into the statue square, he was drawn to the giant dragon statue of Bahafus. He remembered every detail of the statue, so he knew very well that the statue had never changed at all.

But when his gaze fell on the base of the statue, Dago's eyes paused slightly.

The shadow has changed!

The shape of the shadow cast on the ground by the dragon statue changed, and it became larger.

Dago looked up and around.

Black stone pillars stand at the edge of the square, with orange flames burning silently on them, providing light to illuminate the entire square.

The light source remained unchanged.

Why do shadows change?

Dago's eyes flickered, and he continued to approach the statue. When he reached the spot where he had previously tried to receive the inheritance, he hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not choose to place his hand on it again.

Dago walked to the side of the stone statue, spreading his spiritual energy, and began to walk along the base of the statue.

Most of the dragon statues of the Dragon Lord Bahafus were hidden in the darkness. Dago slowly walked into the extra shadow he had previously observed, thinking of going around to the back of the dragon statues to take a look.

But as soon as he stepped out of the light, he felt a heavy, cold darkness surge in from all directions, enveloping him completely.

The darkness felt cold and slippery, wriggling across Dago's body like a living thing. Dago frowned and stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and glanced in the direction behind him.

The line separating light and darkness where he stepped into the shadows now felt strangely distant to him.

It's like looking across a wide river in the dark of night, at the calm, rippling waters on the opposite bank.

Dago turned his head back.

"Snap—"

He snapped his fingers, and a cluster of flames shot out from his slender fingertips, illuminating a small area around him.

The fireball spell, cast solely from the residual energy particles within his body, was almost suppressed to its limit, hardly resembling the work of a level three wizard.

Just as Dago was about to go deeper, he discovered that the light of the flame in his hand was dimming at a visible speed.

Although the size of the flames had not changed at all, in less than two breaths, the flames that could originally illuminate a range of four or five meters around him could only illuminate a distance of less than a foot in front of his toes.

Something's strange.

Dago's heart tightened, and he immediately abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to explore.

He immediately stepped back.

But just as he turned around, raising his right hand which was still burning with flames, an endless expanse of darkness rushed toward him.

The dividing line between shadow and light that should have been behind him had mysteriously vanished without a trace!

Not only that, the dragon shaman head statue that was right next to me has also disappeared!

The once vast square of stone statues has been completely destroyed.

All that remained was a vast emptiness and darkness, as if time had suddenly rewound to the moment when he and Evaque had just entered.

Even though Dago had prepared himself mentally, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine at this moment.

"Gurgle gurgle—"

At that moment, that strange voice rang out again.

Moreover, the sound came from a very close location, not far in front of Dago.

"hiss--"

Dago took a deep breath and swung his right hand forward.

The fireball in his hand, burning fiercely but unable to provide him with any warmth, streaked through the darkness like a meteor, hurtling swiftly toward the source of the sound.

The exploding fireballs blazed with the light of fire, illuminating the landscape along their path.

At that moment, Dago saw dark scales reflecting a cold silver light under the illumination, and a ferocious and enormous silhouette gradually emerged in the cold darkness.

The moment the fireball's light went out completely.

Dago saw—a pair of enormous eyes staring intently at him from the shadows.

The owner of the eyes seemed to be trying his best to remain still, like a statue.

But no matter how high it raised its head, its dark yellow eyes remained fixed on him.

It revealed an almost uncontrollable surge of passion and greed.

It looked at Dago as if he were a delicious steak being placed on a dining table.

"Gurgle gurgle—"

The strange sound rang out again.

This time, Dago heard and saw clearly—

The sound came from the creature before them; it was the sound of it tilting its head back and swallowing hard as it stared at Dago!

At that moment, Dago's heart felt as if it were being clenched tightly by something, and the blood flowing through his body seemed to pause for a moment.

He quickly retreated.

The evil and greedy creature before them, realizing that its "clumsy" disguise had been exposed, simply stopped hiding.

It opened its massive mouth toward Dago, then quickly raised one of its enormous claws.

"call--"

A fierce wind suddenly arose, blowing Dago's long hair and robes backward in an instant, clinging tightly to his body.

Immediately following was an indescribable, terrifying force, like a vast ocean suddenly surging forth, which crashed straight down on Dago with a loud "boom".

At that moment, Dago felt suffocated.

An unprecedented sense of impending death swept over him completely.

Within the consciousness space, ten soul crystals shone brightly in unison, and Dago frantically released his spiritual power, desperately trying to activate Titanium.

However, a giant claw, several times larger than his entire body, rapidly enlarged in his pupils, howling as it lunged at him.

Dago only had time to instinctively cross his arms in a defensive stance before...

"Boom!"

It was like a thousand thunderclaps exploding at the same time, or like ten million ferocious beasts running wildly and trampling over me.

The flow of time seemed to slow down countless times at this moment.

Dago felt as if he saw countless versions of himself in an instant, each one of them suspended in mid-air, flying backwards.

"What am I doing?"

"Were you beaten so badly that your soul left your body?"

In his bewilderment, this thought quietly crossed his mind.

The next moment, a tidal wave of excruciating pain pulled him back to reality.

"boom!"

He found himself back in the Statue Square, and the statue belonging to the Dragon Shaman Bahafus was now far away from him. It was as if he had just experienced a teleportation, and his whole body suddenly appeared from one end of the square to the other.

then.

Dago realized. He had been blasted here from under the statue of the Dragon Shaman!

Most of his body was embedded in the base of a stone statue, countless bones were broken and fractured, the collar of his robe was completely soaked in blood, and there was a strong smell of rust in his mouth and nose.

Since mastering the "Elemental Resonance Technique".

How long has it been since he was physically injured like this?
