Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Ian's face darkened.

The pollution within Titu's body remained dormant for only three months.

The pollution had been contained before, but it just happened to erupt after Edmund was suppressed.

"Is this a coincidence? Or..." He looked at Gaga on his shoulder.

The little guy's silver-gray pupils were also filled with solemnity.

"Ian, could it be that old guy... pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

Ian did not answer.

He turned and walked toward the bedroom door, the hem of his dark gray robe sweeping across the floor, stirring up fine dust.

"Go and see for yourself."

The moment he pushed open the door, he suddenly stopped.

"The abyssal corruption in Titu's mind has already developed some intelligence... and it's still at level four corruption."

It probably possesses the instinct to lie dormant, disguise itself, and strike back when the opportunity arises, just like a living creature.

"Was it the purification efforts of the past three months that triggered its instinctive reaction, or... is someone secretly pulling the strings?"

To purify the pollution of the abyss, the most important thing is to sever its spiritual connection.

Ian's pupils contracted slightly as he thought about this.

"The spiritual connection to Titu's contamination, and the source of the contamination within Edmund... should be in Burning Valley."

The seeds of pollution within Titu's body were sown several years ago.

Both originate from the same source; if pollution truly possesses "intelligence."

The restlessness within Titu at this moment is probably not an accident.

Rather, it is... some kind of counterattack or "response".

Echoing the depths of the Burning Canyon... a contaminated matrix from some abyss?

"This is a bit tricky."

Ian muttered to himself, pushed open the bedroom door, and strode towards the basement.

He needs to bring everything.

Concentrated purification agent, ancient manuscripts, and... those twenty-seven types of contamination samples.

This time, it might not be as simple as just purifying the surrounding area; it could be... a direct confrontation.

Outside Titu's bedroom.

Edel stood in the corridor, the hem of her deep purple robe fluttering even without wind.

The stone slabs beneath my feet were trembling slightly.

From inside the bedroom came a deep, rumbling sound, like the awakening of a giant beast.

The loss of control by a level three peak wizard caused extremely terrifying energy fluctuations.

The wave penetrated the walls and layers of isolation barriers, causing the earth to resonate.

A faint, dark purple light shone through the crack in the door.

With each flash of light, the temperature in the corridor dropped by one degree.

Ice crystals began to form in the air.

Fine frost flowers spread at a visible speed on the walls, ceiling, and floor.

Adele's palms were icy cold as she gripped the crystal bottle tightly.

The bottle contains the third edition of concentrated purifying and calming potion.

This was given to her by Ian seven days ago to stabilize the contamination.

The medication has been working very well for the past seven days.

The dark purple lines under Titu's skin are fading every day, and the change is visible to the naked eye.

Even the family's medical wizard confirmed that the signs of consciousness recovery were becoming increasingly obvious.

But this morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the bedroom...

Titu's body suddenly arched upwards.

It felt like being struck on the spine by an invisible giant hammer; I bounced off the bed and then fell heavily back down.

The dark purple lines beneath the skin suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light.

The lines began to writhe wildly, like countless awakened venomous snakes, charging frantically towards the heart and brain!

The sealing spell set up by Elder Sauron was immediately triggered, and silver chains emerged from the void, tightly binding Titu's limbs and torso.

But it's only a temporary suppression; now... even suppression is becoming difficult.

"Miss……"

Nassenger strode quickly from the stairwell, his face grave.

"I have notified Elder Soren and Elder Darcy, whom I know well, but... I can't get in touch with them for the time being."

Adele took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

Unable to contact them?

"Hmm," Nassenger said in a low voice.

"This morning, an urgent military report came from Modan City: a large-scale eruption of abyssal energy has occurred in the direction of Burning Canyon."

"The entire eastern forces have sent people to the front lines to suppress the rebellion, and more than half of the family's elders have also gone to Burning Canyon."

"The rest are all in seclusion and cannot be contacted."

Adele's eyes turned cold.

Is it to avoid being contaminated by the abyss, or... is there another plan?

She didn't have time to investigate further; the commotion in the bedroom grew increasingly intense.

The light of the silver chains began to dim at a visible speed.

The dark purple lines had spread to Titu's neck and were now encroaching on his jaw and behind his ears.

Once the pollution completely invades the core of the spiritual sea, even if the Radiant Moon Wizard descends, it will be too late to save it.

"Ian..." Adele gripped the crystal bottle tightly, her nails digging into her palm.

The stinging pain kept her awake.

"You have to...come quickly, we can only rely on you."

The voice just fell.

Hurried footsteps could be heard coming from the stairwell at the end of the corridor.

The hem of the dark gray robe swept across the steps, stirring a gentle breeze.

Ian strode over, the feathers on his shoulders ruffled, his silver-gray pupils fixed on the bedroom door.

"Don't rush, tell me about your father's situation first?"

His voice was calm, carrying an air of unhurried confidence.

"The pollution is back, and I estimate the seal... won't last until tonight."

Edel handed over the crystal bottle.

"The medication worked very well for the past seven days, but it suddenly stopped working this morning."

Ian took the bottle and probed it with his mental energy. The liquid inside was clear, and the vortex of order was still spinning.

He looked up at the bedroom door.

"It's the Abyss Corruption... It's 'Upgraded'."

"upgrade?"

"Yes." Ian tapped his fingertip on the bottle wall, and a wisp of purifying starlight seeped into the liquid.

The vortex of order within the potion suddenly accelerated threefold!

"Over the past seven days, the medication has been purifying the surface contaminants, but at the same time... it has also been stimulating the deeper 'sources of contamination'."

"The source of pollution has gained a sliver of sentience and launched a counterattack in order to protect itself."

Adele's face paled. "Then... what do we do now?"

Ian did not answer immediately, but walked to the bedroom door and placed his hand on the door panel.

Mental energy penetrated through walls and isolation barriers, probing inside.

The next moment, his pupils shrank sharply.

Inside the bedroom, Titu's body was completely covered by dark purple patterns.

Those patterns are no longer just "patterns," but have begun to... "three-dimensional."

Like countless tiny tentacles, they emerge from under the skin, twisting and waving in the air.

The surface of its tentacles is covered with tiny suction cups, and each wave of its tentacles produces a nauseating, sticky sound.

The tentacles were bound by silver chains, but there were so many that the chains' light had dimmed to the point of being like a candle flickering in the wind.

And Titus's face...

The once dignified and composed face of the clan leader was now distorted beyond recognition.

His eyes were open, but there was no light in his pupils, only dark purple, constantly swirling vortexes.

Its mouth opened, emitting a silent roar.

With each breath, a jet-black aura overflowed from his seven orifices.

They condense rapidly in the air, forming tiny, constantly wriggling "insect eggs".

The insect eggs fall to the ground and instantly hatch into black flying insects the size of rice grains.

The flying insects flapped their wings and swooped down on the silver chains, frantically devouring the runes with their mouthparts!

"Level 4 pollution...the manifestation of the rules of the abyss."

Ian's heart tightened, and he quickly withdrew his hand, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

He looked at Adele, his voice resolute.

"Open the door immediately, I need to go in."

Adele's pupils contracted.

"Are you sure? I'm still in contact with Elder Soren..."

"I can't wait."

Ian interrupted her, secretly activating the [Two-World Phase Array] in his mind.

The dark silver sorcery floated in the sea of ​​consciousness, with the pure black crystal at its core rotating slightly.

He feared that if he really encountered danger, he could immediately hide in the phase space.

At the same time, the [Spacetime Curvature Field] was quietly activated, covering a range of two meters closely around the body.

"You don't know yet, this seal can only hold for another half hour at most."

"When the time comes, the pollution will completely erupt, and this building, this street, and even half of Dongcheng District... will be eroded."

"By then, even if Elder Soren arrives, he can only... 'clean up' the mess."

The word "clean up" is as cold as a knife.

Adele shuddered; she understood the meaning of the word, of course.

When pollution spreads out of control, the most thorough method is to wipe it out along with the contaminated individuals.

"Open the door."

Edel gritted her teeth and took out the key to the chieftain's bedroom from her bosom.

She pressed the key into the groove on the door panel, the runes lit up, and the door panel slid open silently.

In an instant!

A jet-black aura, like a flood bursting its banks, surged out from the crack in the door!

Accompanied by countless tiny, hissing black flying insects!

Adele instinctively took a step back, but Ian had already stepped forward.

"Wait for me outside."

After Ian finished speaking, he stepped inside.

A squeaky bird flew off his shoulder and landed on the door frame, its silver-gray pupils fixed on the interior.

"Ian, watch out..."

Before he could finish speaking, the bedroom door slammed shut.

As soon as I entered, Ian's [Spacetime Warp Field] silently spread.

Within two meters, the moment the black flying insect entered the area, its movements suddenly froze, as if it had been frozen in time.

The speed at which the flying insect flaps its wings is so slow it's like a stop-motion animation, and the frequency of its mouthparts opening and closing is reduced to a level visible to the naked eye.

Then, the purifying starlight fell.

The flying insects melted away silently, like snow meeting the blazing sun, leaving not even ashes behind.

The jet-black aura collided with the edge of the domain, producing a piercing corrosive sound.

But the area remained completely still.

Gravitational orbits flowed around Ian, causing spatial distortion and forcibly "deflecting" and purifying all the polluting energy that came near.

Within a two-meter radius of the entrance, it's like a miniature black hole, swallowing everything that enters.

But Ian felt no relief whatsoever.
