Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 163 [163] The Shadow of the Evil God: Wang Yaxin's Target Mission

Chi Chi!

The particle energy fluctuations instantly swept across this area, compressing the air to its limit. Large amounts of blood mist dissipated within it, and along with them came two figures intersecting, each surrounded by a particle energy shield and simultaneously using some kind of flight magic, chasing each other in the sky.

Behind them followed seven or eight wizards, their robes bearing the insignia of the Underdark's Enforcement Wizards.

"Snoopy, you've already done your job. Why don't you just surrender and come back to headquarters with me to receive punishment from the Rules and Regulations Department?"

The enforcement squad leader spoke with an extremely sinister tone, his eyes like those of a wolf, staring intently at the temporarily halted wizard figure.

A bloody atmosphere permeated the space, and the tiny particles in the air seemed to be distorted. Even the clouds dissipated directly when the two people's bio-force fields collided.

This situation was quite astonishing, as both sides were exceptionally strong, having reached the level of third-level wizard apprentices.

Numerous law enforcement team members quickly took their positions in the upper and lower spaces, blocking the way in and out.

Their strength and aura were also considerable; some had reached the level of a third-level wizard apprentice, while others were at the level of a second-level wizard apprentice.

"It's come to this, what else is there to say?" Snoopy's aged face held a touch of desolation. He had given so much for the Underdark, accumulated so much merit, only to end up like this.

"I did nothing wrong. Everything I did was for the Underdark."

"No, you're doing this for yourself, for your people and descendants. You've gone mad," the enforcement squad leader said coldly.

"Rules are rules, and they cannot be violated. No matter who it is, whether a formal wizard or a first-level wizard apprentice, anyone who violates them must be punished." The enforcement squad leader's expression grew increasingly solemn and lofty. "This is the duty of the enforcement squad, and the destiny of enforcement wizards—to pay the price with their lives for this moment."

Snoopy's figure grew increasingly hunched, and his sighs echoed in the surrounding space. "Can't you really make an exception? I just want to live. Consider it a small token of my gratitude for all these years I've given to the Underdark."

"You should understand that this is impossible. The rules must never be broken. If you stop resisting, come back to headquarters with me and accept the punishment from the Rules Inspection Department. I will spare your life." Seeing this, the enforcement squad leader softened his tone.

boom!

A sudden cracking sound rang out, and Snoopy clenched his fists. A jet-black claw appeared beside all the law enforcement wizards, slamming down as if following Snoopy's movements.

Every law enforcement wizard was a seasoned veteran, and they reacted immediately, without even touching the particle energy shield.

The enforcement team leader disregarded everything, unleashing his aura and tearing the black claws to shreds as he chased after the fleeing Snoopy.

Soon they arrived above a mortal kingdom. Below them were vast wheat fields, the territories of mortal nobles, and the kingdom's capital and other cities.

When the wizards flew in the sky, they looked down as tiny dots.

Snoopy considered entering this mortal kingdom, but then abandoned the idea, as it was ultimately pointless.

The terror of law enforcement wizards goes far beyond what such petty tricks can achieve.

Especially since this is an enforcement wizard from headquarters.

Even this escape was almost impossible; Snoopy was just making an attempt.

In any case, the most likely outcome is death.

Surrendering is no different from death, and the path of a wizard is almost always short-lived.

There's nothing left to be afraid of or worried about.

Snoopy hardened his heart and decided to defeat the law enforcement wizard right there.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, so intense that even the law enforcement wizards who arrived later were unable to intervene, with only third-level wizard apprentices able to lend a hand from time to time.

The kingdom below is called the Kingdom of Attached Images.

The young King Ya, Tucson, stood on the balcony of his palace. The bright sunlight shone on the earth, but he did not look at his vast territory. Instead, he gazed at the blank sky above.

The only visible range was the swirling clouds and the vast blue sky, yet he seemed to see much more.

Those extremely tiny, seven or eight small points that are active.

"Why did the wizard come to the Kingdom of Tusen? What happened?" Tusen's face was somewhat gloomy, but he remained calm, confident that he had not revealed anything.

The whole country was peaceful and stable, and no extraordinary events occurred.

A sharp, barking sound appeared in his mind, and he immediately understood.

He murmured subconsciously, "So it's a battle between wizards, a dogfight."

A thought struck him, and he silently asked the great being he worshipped, "My God, should we spare all these wizards? If we have wizards as food, we won't have to wait long; your injuries can be healed immediately."

The sharp barking of dogs rang out again.

"I understand. Let's wait and see, there's no need to rush. Don't worry, I know my limits and won't reveal any information."

Under the sunlight, the skin of the person in the attached image in Tucson was extremely fair, almost excessively so, and the veins could be clearly seen in the bright light.

The crimson blood flowing in his veins was incredibly clear, highlighting his blond hair and white face, making him look extremely eerie.

"That wizard I once met, how I long to see you again."

"Your rejection did not condemn me to remain a mortal. I, Tucson, am blessed with great fortune; I have gained the favor of the god Gendass, and I now possess power far exceeding that of a wizard."

The attached image shows Tucson extending his right hand, clenching it tightly in the sunlight, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.

"If I ever see you again in this vast mortal world, I will make you understand how foolish it was to refuse to attach a map to Tucson."

[Target: Wang Yahalak]

[Skill Level: Level Two Wizard Apprentice]

Age: 17

Current mental strength: 27

Particle Energy: 26.8 units

[Dream Power: 25 units]

[Dream Recall Meditation Method: 'Basic Version (9/9)' 'Advanced Version (8/12)']

[Current active neurons: 5%]

Inside the three-story space, Wang Ya, dressed in a white lab coat, had returned to his usual imposing manner, having fully digested the transformation brought about by the eighth wizard rune.

He now possesses even more powerful particle energy, almost catching up with the value of mental strength.

The same applies to the value of his Dream Power, proving that his mastery of the Dream Wizard path is becoming increasingly profound and powerful.

The analysis of the ninth wizard rune is also on the agenda.

[Objective: Obtain the ninth wizard rune for the "Dream Recall Meditation Technique"]

[Estimated analysis time: 40 days]

The analysis time required for the eighth rune is more than two months, but the time required for the ninth wizard rune is much shorter.

The Eye of Truth contains a total of 30,000 books. Although they are not of the extraordinary knowledge type, their accumulation adds up to a rich repository, making the Eye of Truth's improvement and transformation quite significant.

Even now, thinking back on those three days and three nights, Wang Ya still gets a headache.

He doesn't want to go through that again.

The remaining books in the core area are far fewer than those in the outer areas, so we can take our time.

In fact, Wang Ya did not collect all the books in both the outer and inner areas of the reading room.

Many types of books were excluded, as they had no relation to Wang Ya's path as a wizard and would not be of any help.

It has been about a month since I last obtained advanced extraordinary knowledge from the place of inheritance.

Wang Ya's ideas were put into practice, and the improvements to the "Hephaestus' Wrath" sorcery were beginning to show results.

In about a month, Wang Ya will be able to test various data of witchcraft in the witchcraft testing ground, see if there are any weaknesses or flaws, and promptly fill in the gaps.

Wang Ya has always been strict with himself in this regard.

In terms of dream magic, Wang Ya did not encounter too much difficulty, after all, it was only the third intermediate magic.

Wang Ya, who possesses a great deal of advanced and extraordinary knowledge, can apply his knowledge to many things, even if they are not related to dream wizards.

With the Eye of Truth undergoing another transformation, Wang Ya will be able to complete the third intermediate-level sorcery within half a month.

Three months later.

More and more wizards are returning to headquarters from various places, and the atmosphere at headquarters has become inexplicably oppressive.

Many lower house wizards have stopped going out, having already purchased a lot of extraordinary resources, and have chosen to stay in their wizarding residences to study their wizarding path.

This is undoubtedly a wise choice.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was amiss, and there was a sense that a storm was brewing.

The wizards in the Upper House haven't changed much; their numbers are still small, with graduated wizards and current students each making up a portion.

Not to mention those like Wang Ya, who have inherited the identity of a wizard and spend most of their time away from the academy, so those courses are not very useful to them.

As for the guidance of teaching wizards, qualified wizards are the best and most excellent guides.

"These people are all crazy, bombarding me with messages. I'm even afraid to activate my wizard mark now."

Inside the wizard tavern, Gray was ranting and raving. If it weren't for the isolation provided by the magic array, even some passing wizards outside the tavern would probably have heard his voice.

The other two people in the room could understand Gray's feelings, as they had suffered the same fate.

The Dark Wizard's Mark remained sealed, and he dared not open it.

This gathering was initiated by Gray and Maas, who went to Hades' store to speak in person before arriving here in the evening.

Once the Dark Wizard Mark is activated, a dense, continuous stream of wizard information washes over you. These are all from different wizards, and almost none of them are ones you recognize.

It also has the function of completely blocking users and preventing them from receiving messages, but there are simply too many users to block them all.

"These bastards are probably targeting Wang Ya's group, stirring up quite a bit of discussion. We've probably been affected," Gray quickly concluded.

"There are some people lurking in the shadows who want to target Wang Ya and try to use us to put pressure on him."

Mas and Mona could also understand the cause and effect; they had taken the blame for Wang Ya and suffered an undeserved disaster.

No, that's exactly what those people wanted—to influence Wang Ya.

Gray frowned. "Wang Ya must be in seclusion. There's been no news from her, and I haven't received any responses to my messages."

"What should we do then?"

"Let them post it, let's see what tricks they have up their sleeves. Official announcements are pinned to the top, so we'll see them first. What's the use of insults? Wang Ya can ignore them and treat them with a calm attitude, so we can certainly do the same."

Gray's words made the two nod in agreement; that made sense.

The fact that the Dark Wizard Mark can't display information is a minor issue; the real concern is that the wizard quest might be tampered with.

They all vaguely guessed who was targeting Wang Ya. Wang Ya's wizard mission triggered a massive search throughout the Underdark.

In the past few months, wizards have been returning to their home base, while countless others have been banished from the Underdark and become wandering wizards.

Moreover, there are countless wizards who have suffered enormous losses, been dismissed from their posts, or even been punished and killed.

Gray shook his head and said, "Now is the time for a major search. We shouldn't risk breaking the rules again by tampering with the wizarding mission."

Those who can do this must be of high status and strength; they're too busy trying to avoid the limelight of this massive search.

It's impossible to let emotions cloud your judgment.

Furthermore, the other party's goal is to use them in order to influence Wang Ya.

Gray shrugged and said somewhat helplessly, "Those people probably don't know either. We can't contact Wang Ya either. Whenever that kid goes into seclusion, he shuts down the Dark Wizard Mark and then goes to complete the target missions, the wizard missions, right on time."

Mas and Mona smiled knowingly; this habit was best during this period.

Once the massive search is over, everything will return to normal.

The Dream Wizard behind Wang Ya is a shield that can block 90% of the pressure and trouble.

Bright projection conference.

On the enormous round table, projections of wizard robes appeared in their respective positions. This meeting was no ordinary one, as it was convened jointly by the top three.

The other wizards all knew that the top three wizards had extremely special status and positions. They had not attended the previous meeting because they had to deal with some matters concerning their positions urgently.

They must completely erase all evidence, as well as any person or thing that might be associated with them.

This was extremely difficult, and even the top three wizards put in a great deal of effort.

"Fellow members of the Illuminati, the scale, scope, and intensity of this internal search are unprecedented."

"I think we're in trouble. Furthermore, your plan against King Yahalak is truly incredibly foolish!!"

It's a bit late today, but there's still a 12,000-word update. There will be another chapter before midnight.
