Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 178 [178] The Child of Darkness Destroys the Spirit of Nature

Within the black clouds, there was a strong aura of curse, exactly like the black markings on Wang Ya's palm.

The dark wizard 'Riris' of the Natural Ring Tower.

They actually tracked us all the way here.

Wang Ya naturally thought of his encounter in the Skywing Wizard City and the Black Core he had taken from them.

It seems they harbored a grudge and used this subtle curse to pinpoint his location, waiting to strike when he went out.

Wang Ya raised an eyebrow, but the expression beneath the black mask showed little fear.

On the contrary, once this curse method is discovered, this hidden danger can be eliminated, and the hidden danger of Ruilis can also be resolved today.

"I once said that you'd better never come out of the Underdark, because there's only one outcome: death."

Black, floating clouds gradually gathered together, and under the aggregation of powerful particle energy, a huge, distorted face was formed, with thick, cursed black energy emanating from the holes in its facial features.

A large number of dark souls emerged from them, their sheer numbers causing them to shout about eating people, flesh, and souls. The loss of the Black Core seemed to have a profound impact on Ruilis; the quality of these dark souls was far weaker than that of those created by the Skywing Wizard.

Many of them even used Linghu, a supernatural being, to fill the ranks in order to implement a human wave tactic.

A cold smile appeared on Wang Ya's lips. He was no longer the same person he used to be, and he was no longer afraid of any enemy at the level of a third-level wizard apprentice.

I was just about to make my move, and also to see if I could demonstrate his current abilities.

To his surprise, Kazeantuan took the initiative to attack. Before Wang Ya, his body suddenly erupted with extremely terrifying particle energy fluctuations, and many of the approaching and entangled black souls were even swept away by this aura and their souls were scattered.

The difference between the two was so great that even breathing could not withstand it.

The better ones among these dark souls are only second-level wizard apprentices, and their numbers are extremely small.

Wang Ya didn't see the faces of Rodin and the other Black Souls either; they must have been killed by Ruilis.

Kazeantun's outburst clearly took Ruilis by surprise; the black cloud surface rippled and fluctuated instantly, showing a faint tendency to collapse.

"This is... How could this be? A Limitless Wizard Apprentice? Are you kidding me?"

Ruilis was somewhat alarmed. Why would a Limitless Wizard Apprentice suddenly appear?

No, it should be that ordinary blond wizard. Why is he a Limit Wizard apprentice?

Through the curse on Wang Yahalak, she could roughly sense the surrounding atmosphere.

She knew from their auras that they weren't particularly powerful, which is why she decided to take action and leave them here permanently.

If it could cause some conflict or friction between the Underdark and the Decay, that would be even better.

Even the most powerful Level 3 Wizard Apprentice cannot possibly fight against a Level 5 Wizard Apprentice.

Especially considering the opponent's strength, even within the Natural Ring Tower, there are few who can rival him.

If Ruilis had known about the existence of a Limitless Wizard Apprentice, she definitely wouldn't have made a move.

Her original plan was put on the defensive, and Ruilis screamed, unleashing her full particle energy and almost all of her soul power.

From within the massive, black face of the cloud, a continuous stream of black souls surged forth, engulfing the two figures.

But the black-faced figure was moving in the opposite direction, trying to escape.

Kazeantun didn't do much, only unleashing a burst of particle energy fluctuations. His body was enveloped in a faint dark energy glow as he straightened up, took a step forward, and stepped off the back of the flying griffin.

Walking on the void, it felt as if he were stepping on those dark souls.

The densely packed black souls were instantly cleared out, revealing a vast expanse of blue sky and white clouds.

It made the scene of wailing ghosts and deathly stillness much clearer.

Wang Ya's pupils contracted. This method was not simple. Although it seemed that not much particle energy was involved, there was actually an invisible high-pressure force around Kazeantun, which was caused by the bio-force field.

An incredibly powerful bio-force field, achieving what only Wang Ya's Illusionary Demon Domain could accomplish, despite the absence of any elemental particle energy intervention.

"Everything around us is under Kazeantun's control, within a radius of one hundred meters!!"

Wang Ya's pupils gleamed with a subtle, deep blue light.

"Incredible! Is this the true power of a Limitless Wizard Apprentice?"

Kazeantun strode through the void, each step annihilating large swaths of dark souls and dissipating them into nothingness. His spiritual power surged forth, ten to twenty times stronger than that of a third-level wizard apprentice.

An extremely obvious medium reaction appeared in the void. Under this high pressure, a reaction that affected reality was produced. Large numbers of sparks emerged from the void, forming a scene like shooting stars streaking across the sky.

Chi Chi!

The rapid, clamorous sound waves arrived as the Martians burst into bloom, with Kazeanthun at the center of the scene, the Martian trails swirling around him as he moved.

His figure disappeared.

Wang Ya's pupils changed again; his gaze failed to lock onto the other person's figure.

The next moment, Kazeantuan appeared before the huge black face. His expression beneath the mask of broken dreams was extremely gloomy, as he had a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent it.

His right hand made a loose grip, as if he had grasped the core of the black face, and then he ripped it apart with a sudden movement.

Whoosh!

As the black energy dissipated, more black souls could not withstand the pressure and perished one by one. The huge black face also vanished into thin air, and the aura of curse enveloped Kazeantun's entire body.

A deep black color also appeared on his face, indicating that the cursed power was enveloping his entire body and was about to take effect.

Moreover, the aura of the curse was extremely strong, imbuing it with a vicious curse.

"You idiot from the Natural Ring Tower, didn't your extraordinary course instructor teach you that when facing a low-level apprentice of a Limitless Wizard, there's only one thing to do?!!"

Kazeantun's tone was icy cold, his terrifying bio-force field suddenly contracted, the black aura surrounding his body became even denser, and black runes appeared on his skin.

The next moment, extraordinary spiritual power merged into the bio-force field, and with the diffusion of particle energy, an even more terrifying bio-force field rebounded back, occupying a range of 100 meters in all directions.

The cursed power that enveloped him, along with the cursed medium and all the cursed magic that it triggered, vanished completely!

Wang Ya finally understood the difference between a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice and a Limitless Wizard Apprentice.

The former's extraordinary spiritual transformation has reached the point of influencing reality and causing physical destruction.

The latter is powerful in every aspect, not just in terms of its extraordinary mental strength that can affect the destruction of physical reality.

The quality of individual particle energy is also extremely high, and it can be integrated into the bio-force field along with extraordinary spiritual power, directly controlling the environmental feedback within the force field's range.

If an enemy is inside the biofield of a Limit Wizard Apprentice, their five senses will be completely manipulated, even their responses to the real world.

The retina receiving sunlight is a form of feedback; the ear hearing sound is a form of feedback; breathing and touch are also forms of feedback.

Being a Limitless Wizard Apprentice is a threshold; becoming a full-fledged wizard is stepping over that threshold.

At that level of combat, it is no longer a simple battle of witchcraft, but requires bio-force fields to occupy more of the battlefield environment, and the division of strength and weakness will be clearer.

From first-level wizard apprentice to ultimate wizard apprentice, and then to full wizard, all kinds of strength and means are gradually improved, and finally converge at the full wizard stage.

Wang Ya was surprised, as if he had gained some new insights, as if he had grasped an understanding of perfect balance.

It was still too superficial; that feeling was fleeting.

Ruilis's figure appeared in the distant clouds, her face pale and her breath extremely weak. Seven or eight black souls carried her body, and they had already run a long distance.

"Faced with an absolute difference in mental strength and particle energy, any form of witchcraft is utterly insignificant."

"The same applies to running away."

Kazeantun snorted coldly, his robes billowing in the swirling wind, his hair flying wildly, the wind and clouds seemingly becoming mere background to him.

Surrounded by sparks and swept by swirling winds, it sped toward Relis's location like a shooting star.

The two flying griffins had long since moved far away from the battlefield. If they were to be enveloped and affected by that terrifying bio-force field, they would probably turn into blood mist in an instant, crushed to the bone.

Wang Ya stood on the flying griffin to the right, while Harak on his shoulder preened his feathers with his beak.

"You only have this one chance to kill me, and it won't take more than ten seconds."

Wang Ya suddenly spoke up.

There were no people around, only an endless void, white clouds, the sky, and the remaining spark marks from the high-pressure friction that covered a hundred-meter area in front.

A mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Riris, the spirit of nature, doesn't even have the courage to make a move?"

He opened his palm, and the black runes on his fair skin became more and more obvious, as if they were protruding from under the skin and surging, looking extremely ugly.

Logically, since Relis's methods were thwarted by Kazeantun, the power of the curse should have been greatly weakened or even disappeared.

However, the black runes on his palm possessed a curse power that was amplified threefold.

"Then die, curse - Blood Feud."

A venomous voice emerged directly from Wang Ya's mind. The black runes in his palm suddenly burst through his skin, transforming into a phantom of a woman, somewhat resembling a black soul, but even more ethereal and virtual.

Wang Ya raised an eyebrow. "You really are willing to sacrifice the source of the curse."

When the memory surfaced in the Skywing Wizard City, I received the Black Core from the illusion.

It must have been around that time that I was tainted by the source of the curse on the Black Core.

Indeed, no wizard should be underestimated.

The dark wizard Relis also has her strengths; the methods she employs are extremely well hidden.

It simply hides itself, unable to display any extraordinary abilities, unable to listen to conversations, and at most can provide vague location information.

If his extraordinary abilities were revealed, although he could monitor and listen, Wang Ya would discover it.

For this reason, Ruilis kept this tactic under wraps.

"Is this your backup plan, or are you confident you can kill me with this?" Wang Ya's tone remained venomous. Kazeantuen should soon notice something amiss and turn back.

Therefore, Wang Yacai said that Ruilis only had one chance and ten seconds to kill him.

If the other party still chooses to make a move, then this time their methods will be absolutely extraordinary.

A crimson flame appeared around Wang Ya, and he stretched out his left hand and gently snapped his fingers.

Domain Expansion - 'Phantom Demon'

Within a 70-meter radius, crimson light appeared, carrying a dreamlike quality, like ribbons reflecting the arc of light, creating a truly beautiful sight.

Beneath the beauty lies absolute danger, with extreme high temperatures capable of melting even the most extraordinary metals into molten iron.

The normal attitude power also reached '38'.

Strangely, they still couldn't dispel the phantom of blood feud.

It seems to be targeting the 'soul'.

His expression remained unchanged beneath the black mask, but his extraordinary mental power erupted instantly, accompanied by a surge of dream power.

Dream magic [cursing/witchcraft]

This time it worked, and the blood feud phantom was directly dispersed.

Something's wrong, too weak. Here it comes!

Wang Ya turned around abruptly, but it seemed he was a step too late. His pupils reflected Ruilis's disheveled and ferocious appearance. She wore a robe with dark ripples, exuding a strong supernatural aura, and looked quite extraordinary.

He held a rusty cross-shaped longsword in his hand, with what appeared to be still-dry bloodstains on it.

A smile appeared on her face as the cross-shaped sword pierced Wang Ya's heart.

"King Yahalak, it is your honor to die by this special weapon. I have known its special nature ever since I found it in my mortal days. Anyone who is stabbed by it will surely die, whether they are sorcerers, mortals, or supernatural beings."

"It wasn't for nothing that I borrowed Lord Darkbat's Shadow Robe in exchange for this opportunity. I'll kill you, and with the Shadow Robe, even a Limitless Wizard Apprentice won't be able to detect my presence."

Ruilis let out a long breath; she too was under immense pressure.

Click!

The black mask suddenly cracked, startling Ruilis. When the mask shattered and she saw the unbelievably handsome face and the smiling eyes beside the beauty mark, Ruilis's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a sudden sense of panic.
