Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 164 [164] Tracking and Taking Action Against the Beast Tide

The voice of the second wizard echoed throughout the projection space.

The blurry shadows concealed the faces and bodies of all the wizards, but years of shared interests had led them to have some suspicions about each other's identities.

The only thing that cannot be determined is the identity of the third person, or rather, which one exactly.

"Number Two, what do you mean by that?" Number Four said, somewhat confused. "This is something we all agreed on, and there won't be any mistakes. We didn't personally get involved. It was all the spontaneous action of those punished wizards, and it didn't violate the rules of the Underdark."

Then he looked at Wizard Number One and Wizard Number Three, who were simply sitting in their original positions without saying or making any moves.

The second wizard sneered, "You don't understand the situation we're in right now? Use your blockheads! This is a massive internal search. Do you really think there's no danger just because you say there isn't?"

"Once you do something, you will definitely leave a trace. If you try to erase the trace, you will only leave more traces. The only way is to do nothing and not create any unnecessary trouble."

“Every member of the Illuminati plays an important role, and we cannot afford to lose any of them, but your actions are putting the entire Illuminati in danger.”

Wizard Number Four frowned, his expression turning quite unpleasant. This was the first time he had ever been reprimanded like this, and his face immediately darkened, looking rather embarrassed.

Fortunately, the unique, blurred shadows in the projection space made it impossible to observe the specific details of each other's faces.

The Illuminati is not equal; power and position can be distinguished by serial numbers.

The second wizard is far superior in strength and rank, but that doesn't mean he can be reprimanded at will.

"That's not necessarily true. The internal search is one thing, and our measures are another; the two shouldn't be confused. Long before the internal search, we had already dealt with everything thoroughly, so no matter how much they investigate, it won't fall on us."

Wizard Number Four was very confident about this.

The other numbered wizards of the Illuminati also learned in advance about the search.

This is the advantage brought by information asymmetry: it allows for advance planning and the elimination of things that shouldn't exist.

The news of the internal search was brought by Wizard Number One.

However, inevitably, cleaning everything up will result in significant losses of benefits and resources.

Wizard Number Three abruptly said, "It's good that you're so confident. But if you're going to do it, do it cleanly. Trying to stir up public opinion or bombard people with information is low-level and boring. That's why Wizard Number Two said you're stupid."

"The more complicated it is, the easier it is to make mistakes. It's better to just challenge King Aharak to the battlefield. Let him vent his anger if he wants, and if he wants to decide a life-or-death battle, that's fine too."

Upon hearing this, the numbered wizards present immediately fell silent, their eyes lowering slightly.

They had considered this possibility, but given Wang Yahalak's identity and the current circumstances, jumping out like this would be tantamount to suicide.

This is tantamount to voluntarily exposing information, which will eventually cause problems to arise even if there were none before.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you'd taken care of things? Why are you all silent now?" Wizard Number Three said with a mocking tone and a cold laugh.

The gaze, hidden in the hazy shadows, fell upon the crowd, as if penetrating their concealment and seeing into their hearts.

This made the wizards present extremely uncomfortable. They wanted to say something, but in the end, they could only remain silent.

Wizard Number Three found it boring. Since he wanted revenge and wanted to vent his anger, he might as well do it openly and honestly, and then it would be over.

They all felt they were in the right and could withstand scrutiny, yet they were also afraid of King Yahalak's identity. Wizard Number Three felt only disappointment; these guys in front of him were neither good enough nor bad enough, and couldn't even handle such a small matter.

The meeting lasted a little longer, and the details of the internal search were shared among the members. They discussed what needed to be done and how to keep the Illuminati going in preparation for its eventual resurgence.

As the projection meeting was about to end, Wizard Number One stood up from his chair and said only one sentence: "The Illuminati are all in this together, and we are all in this together. Since we have decided to deal with King Yahalak, let's do it seriously."

"Wang Yahalak's mission has been finalized and will be communicated to him in three days. It involves leaving headquarters and heading to a wizarding city in one of his districts to deal with the rampant infestation of extraordinary creatures in the wild, which seems to be on the verge of triggering a beast tide. This is a great opportunity; those of you who want to vent your anger can take matters into your own hands along the way."

"Does this allow thoughts to flow freely?" Wizard Number One glanced indifferently at the figures of the numbered wizards present.

Wizard Number Two and Wizard Number Three both raised an eyebrow, some thoughts surfacing in their minds, but neither expressed any opinion.

"If no one says anything, that means you agree. As for the possibility of information being leaked, you don't need to worry. I will use my connections to handle everything properly and there won't be any problems."

The first wizard's hoarse voice echoed, but his tone was resolute and full of confidence.

This confidence also infected the other numbered wizards, who began to feel restless.

Finally, the first numbered wizard agreed.

The other numbered wizards also responded one after another.

"I'll let you know the specific time later. Number Two, Number Three, and I still have some job-related issues to deal with, which are a bit troublesome, so we'll have to leave now."

Three figures disappeared simultaneously from the projected conference.

The remaining numbered wizards felt relieved, because these top three numbered wizards generally kept their promises and had never failed.

"Wang Yahalak, it's time for you to taste the bitterness of loss."

Wizard Number Four snorted coldly, and all the wizards present were united in their indignation, echoing his agreement.

Although it cannot be killed, it can be injured, crippled, or its foundation damaged without any problem.

The crimson flames quickly filled the entire witchcraft testing ground, then the light gradually expanded and became even more dazzling, its color changing from crimson to deep red as it spread outwards.

Such light is enough to melt the eyes of mortals; blindness would be the least of their worries.

With its restrained yet powerful particle energy fluctuations, everything in its path was quenched into dust by these energy fluctuations.

In three months, Wang Ya had completed the creation of advanced witchcraft in the Flame Demon Witchcraft School.

Five low-level spells, three medium-level spells, and one high-level spell.

The integration of witchcraft and the balance of the system have reached the highest level of current standards.

Even the elemental magic school is more powerful than the dream magic school.

Wang Ya dissipated the particle energy supply, and the deep red light gradually disappeared, revealing the situation in the field.

It was extremely shocking. Within a 40-meter radius of the test site, everything looked as if it had been scorched by energy flames, a scene of charred remains. The dust was made up of some weak building materials that could not withstand such a high energy level.

A voice came from the tower spirit.

"Unnamed spell, degree exceeds 8, casting time: 2 seconds, particle energy consumption: 10. Warning: This spell has reached the high level and its power is too great. Please use it with caution."

The environment of the witchcraft testing ground has become like this; the memory metal doll has long since melted into liquid on the ground. It will take an extremely long time to recover.

The time required for tiny metal particles to reassemble and return to their original form is greatly increased.

This advanced sorcery brings not only power, but also even more terrifying energy pollution and some lethal properties.

【Radiant Sun Scorching Kill: A high-level sorcery created by the wizard Wang Ya, it combines the characteristics of three intermediate sorcery techniques. It integrates the melting principle formed by impact, collision, and diffusion, concentrating a large amount of particle energy at a single point. With a special frequency and amplitude, it enhances the activity of the internal fire element particle energy, causing it to continuously heat up until it reaches a critical point and is released.】

[Note: The power and range of this spell have no upper limit; they are directly related to the amount of particle energy supplied by the caster.]

[Evaluation: Absolutely high temperature, absolute energy intensity, absolute destructive power, and an absolute wide-range attack on witchcraft.]

In other words, if Wang Ya were to inject all the particle energy into it, the resulting power would be even stronger, and the range of its influence would be even wider.

Wang Ya has now truly mastered a secret witchcraft technique.

The two witchcraft techniques, "Fear of Burning Fire" and "Ultra-High Temperature Cluster Particle Waves," were developed and derived from earlier techniques.

The main focus is on the frequency and amplitude of particle energy, thereby releasing special high-temperature rays.

During the competition in the secret realm, those red floating machines inspired Wang Ya.

The "Burning Fire and Fearful Flames" technique involves increasing the quantity of the original "Fearful Flames" to create a powerful area attack or to trap the enemy.

It is also more convenient and targeted when dealing with large enemies.

However, now that the Blazing Sun Steaming Killer has been introduced, this modified witchcraft has become somewhat redundant, and Wang Ya rarely uses it anymore.

The ultra-high temperature clustered particle wave is also a conjecture by Wang Ya regarding the changes in the energy properties of particles, and purchasing the essence of the conch was a preparation in advance.

It is also one of the three intermediate-level witchcrafts.

A teleportation wave enveloped Wang Ya's entire body, and the next moment he appeared in the study.

Dream magic is not suitable for testing in the magic testing ground, but he did indeed create the third intermediate dream magic.

[Shattered Dream Kill: From a dream perspective, one can condense a conscious dream body and enter the dreams of others to weaken them on a mental level, causing damage.]

Grade: Medium

[Dream Power Consumption: 3.1 units]

[Note: Only those with sufficiently powerful dream energy and vast extraordinary spiritual power can attempt to cast this spell and kill within a dream when entering the dream realm of the corresponding being. If the target's spiritual power is even stronger, there is a high probability of suffering a backlash.]

[Mission Information: The Beast Tide Crisis]

[Rank: B]

[Location: Eagle Territory, Magic Shield Wizard City, Kingdom of Brazil]

[Details: Mortal nobles from the Kingdom of Brazil have sent a message to the Magic Shield Wizard City, reporting the discovery of a large number of extraordinary creatures gathering in the kingdom's forests and beginning to attack humans. Their numbers are vast and continuous, suggesting a possible beast tide.]

[Objective: Investigate and eliminate the specific circumstances, exterminate the extraordinary creatures to the greatest extent possible, and prevent the beast tide from forming. If the beast tide has already formed and cannot be stopped, you can resubmit the task information.]

[Rewards: 600 Magic Stones, 400 Dark Points, and one opportunity to acquire Low-Level Extraordinary Knowledge (Land of Inheritance)]

A thoughtful look flashed in Wang Ya's eyes. Once the beast tide rises, the Brazilian Kingdom will definitely be destroyed, and even some of the surrounding mortal kingdoms will be affected.

As the beast tide accumulates and the number of extraordinary creatures involved becomes increasingly uncontrollable, it is not impossible that it could cause an even more terrible disaster.

The rewards for C-level tasks have been increased to a new level.

Unfortunately, the opportunity to acquire low-level extraordinary knowledge had extremely limited effect on Wang Ya, and its relative value was much less.

Fortunately, the Dark Points and Magic Stones were plentiful.

Wang Ya is least afraid of anything related to supernatural creatures. In the competition of the secret realm, he was able to control tens of thousands of supernatural creatures at once, truly forming a beast tide.

Harak flew in through the window and landed on the desk. Its wings folded, and its head gently rubbed against his fingers, looking very docile.

"Little guy, this time you might get a chance to perform well and eat your fill."

The task information was almost impossible to be wrong, and Wang Ya felt that the tasks he had experienced before were just a matter of bad luck.

The witch's mission went smoothly without any major mishaps; in fact, it brought a great opportunity.

This time will likely be no exception.

He has regained his normal luck.

Even if a beast tide does occur, it's a minor issue for Harak and won't cause any major problems.

The beast tide represents a wide variety of extraordinary creatures, which is just the right time for Harak to increase the number of gene fragments in the Infinite Blood Core.

Wang Ya didn't tell anyone about this mission. He tucked Harak into the sleeve of his wizard's robe and then traveled to the corresponding wizard city via the teleportation tower.

The last time, the target tasks were not told to anyone, and everything suddenly returned to normal, and we encountered a considerable opportunity.

Whether it's metaphysics or not is unimportant; Wang Ya felt it was worth a try.

"Wang Yahalak has finally left headquarters. The number one wizard really has powerful connections, revealing all of this guy's information."

In the Illuminati, apart from the absence of the top three wizards, the remaining numbered wizards were all eager and excited.

They received advance notice from Wizard Number One, knowing the timing of Wang Yahalak's mission and the location to be visited.

Even now, there are people from their faction at the teleportation tower, constantly monitoring King Yaharak's whereabouts.

The reason for their excitement was that their status was inferior to that of Wang Yahalak, who was a formal disciple of a wizard, a lineage wizard, and the true core of the school's lineage. Now, having the opportunity to suppress the lineage wizards was an extremely pleasant thing.

"A beast tide is good. So many extraordinary creatures. It's not surprising that we die in there. We're just lower house wizards."

The group received a message from the wizard at the teleportation tower and quickly set off.

The teleportation tower emitted a white energy light that enveloped the Illuminati members, whose individual methods concealed their identities, making it impossible to determine whether the other party was a genuine wizard.

Even during teleportation, they weren't teleported together.

Instead, they split up and headed to the Divine Eagle's territory, to the wizard city near the Magic Shield Wizard City.

About ten minutes after they left, a tall figure stepped into the teleportation space.

He wore a hood, covering his face, and only his furrowed brows and eyes were visible.

The teleportation location was none other than Magic Shield Wizard City.
