Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 213 [213] On the Eve of the Devouring Bone-Corroding Storm

Under the control of the Dark Bat Wizard's consciousness, the Bone-Corroding Pearl fell into a crevice in a crystallized rock in the deep pit.

The area is covered by a large number of boulders, and the active particles from the riotous activity render perception ineffective. Trying to find a tiny bead among thousands of pebbles is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just to be on the safe side, the Dark Bat Wizard also cast a spell to conceal his presence, leaving behind a portion of his consciousness.

The remaining main consciousness returned to the wizard tower.

"Darkbat Wizard, you lost to a third-level wizard apprentice because of your underestimation and carelessness." He stated a fact, while particle energy filled the entire hall, suppressing the shadow particle tide that was in a state of explosion.

"What do you mean by this? Do you think it's my fault? You want to settle scores with me later!" The shadow clone of the Dark Bat Wizard opened its eyes, and shadow particle energy emerged on the surface of its skin, like small black snakes, climbing all over its body.

Ultimately, it was his home turf, a clash of positions between formal wizards, where he completely suppressed the Dark Bat Wizard's clone.

He said calmly, "Don't let your animalistic instincts cloud your judgment. Haven't you realized that your symptoms are already very serious?"

Dark Bat Wizard: "."

He said, "Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Your animalistic nature took over, and you instinctively became arrogant, dissolute, and conceited. This led to the destruction of the Bone-Eating Demon."

"Of course, that King Yaharak is also abnormally powerful. No information has been revealed about the witchcraft he possesses, nor has the property of his special particle energy been recorded in the Gloomy Corridor."

The Dark Bat Wizard slowly withdrew his terrifying aura. His face was extremely pale, and looking back now, his emotional state was indeed quite abnormal.

No matter what, as a formal wizard, one still possesses basic mental fortitude and would never experience various negative emotions when facing difficulties or being at a disadvantage.

Recalling that devastating scene, the Dark Bat Wizard's lips twitched slightly. The predicament should be transformed into a dead end.

That eerie black sphere contained an exaggeratedly powerful energy that was simply unbelievable.

The Dark Bat Wizard couldn't understand how such a small body could unleash such a large amount of potential energy, spread heat radiation, and cause such a collision of kinetic energy. Even after experiencing it once, he was still extremely confused.

The beastly instincts influenced the wizard's thinking, causing emotional fluctuations and resulting in stress responses.

The hysterical roar and the slogan-like threats... The Dark Bat Wizard's eyes darkened. Even if he had murderous intent, he wouldn't act like this, just like a third-rate villain from a novel.

It seems that the extraordinary bloodline within him has begun to backfire.

This is the downside of all bloodline wizards—the calamity of bloodline.

A powerful, extraordinary bloodline can allow a wizard to take a shortcut, becoming a formal wizard faster than other wizarding systems, and more easily breaking through limits and achieving sublimation.

Everything has its opposite. The downside is that bloodlines have an upper limit, unless the shackles of the bloodline are broken. At the same time, fragments of the soul and consciousness that exist deep within the bloodline can backfire on the wizard himself.

Bloodline wizards who have broken through their limits and ascended to higher levels will suffer such calamities almost every so often.

The timing is uncertain.

It cannot be cured unless the bloodline is stripped away; this is a memory of existence containing extraordinary qualities.

"The situation is still under control. The Bone-Corroding Pearl is unaware of its own existence; it has only lost some biological energy. We can retrieve it after some time."

The Dark Bat Wizard replied, "I need all the information about King Ahalaq, word for word, without any errors."

"I will give it to you." He frowned slightly on his throne, but still agreed.

He is also a wizard from the Natural Ring Tower, and feels obligated to help wizards from the same wizarding faction. Their collaborative wizarding experiments will continue, relying on the Bone-Eating Pearl, until they uncover deeper secrets of the origin of the Gendascher evil god.

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

It seemed as if the earlier friction and tension were just an illusion; they shook hands again, and smiles appeared on their faces.

The Dark Bat Wizard's expression suddenly turned grim. He seemed to sense something and blurted out, "Something has triggered my protective magic array, damn it."

He could no longer sit still on his throne and stood up abruptly. "What exactly happened? The Bone-Corroding Pearl must not be lost."

He almost lost control of his anxiety, allowing the tribulation of his bloodline to take advantage of the situation, but he forcibly suppressed the unease in his heart.

The Dark Bat Wizard, his face grim, uttered the outcome he least wanted to hear: "The Bone-Corroding Pearl has been taken."

puff!

The throne behind him instantly turned to dust.

Harak fanned away the large swath of black flames and found the fist-sized shadow core in the scorching hot crystalline crevices. Due to the high temperature and other factors, it was covered with a lot of turbidity, but the overall gray outline of the interior could still be seen.

Those are individual souls and consciousnesses, and there may even be truly complete living people among them.

This greatly surprised Wang Ya, who had a shared perspective, as it bore a striking resemblance to the environment inside the Infinite Black Core.

The defeated black eyes stared intently, black liquid dripping from the corner of his eye, directly shattering the mental protective field that had been surrounding him.

Harak opened his beak and swallowed the shadow core whole.

The White Lake Wizard City incident has come to a complete end.

All members of the Dark Hand returned to headquarters, with Polaris, Chief Sue, and Chief Shoggoth heading to the first floor of the Upper House Library to report on the situation.

The only regrettable thing is that Rhodes Stark's body was taken from the White Rat Wizard's ring after his death.

Wang Ya faces the head of the Stark family, Puni, for the first time!

A middle-aged man with graying hair, his eyes were calm and his expression was solemn. However, when he saw Rhodes Stark's corpse, the twitching at the corner of his eye proved that his inner emotions were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

The Stark family found a coffin and placed Rhodes Stark inside. Wizards passing by the Upper House library avoided them and showed them respect.

These are wizards who sacrificed themselves for the Underlands, and are honored. As members of the Sons of Darkness and the Underhand, they will receive substantial subsidies from the Stark family.

The bleak autumn wind blew the fallen leaves on the street. Punistark raised his head, his expression having returned to its usual calm. Looking at Wang Ya's young and fair face, his eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Thank you, Wizard Wang Ya, for bringing back Rhodes' body," Punistark finally spoke, his voice cold and clear.

"This is my duty."

Wang Ya nodded slightly, leaving Punistark with a gradually blurring silhouette.

Punistark's eyes suddenly turned cold, then he looked away.

Clenching his fists, he rolled up his sleeves and left the place with the Stark wizards.

Reporting on work is not important to Wang Ya.

Even though he knew that a substantial reward would follow if the report was well done.

But for Wang Ya now, resources and power are secondary; the most crucial thing is to understand the balance between illusion and reality.

Mental strength can be enhanced by utilizing dream creatures. The golden ants and rice are still edible, but as his strength increases, the amount of mental strength he can gain from them decreases.

The Golden Ant Rice is of a certain grade, unless you go to find new dream creatures, especially those comparable to the level of a Limitless Wizard Apprentice.

I'd better not bother Teacher Huanmeng.

Wang Ya abandoned his idea of ​​going to Xinmeng Lake, and the Halak in his sleeve emitted a slight tremor.

He walked straight toward the location of the Dream Tower.

When in doubt, try it.

Wang Ya was also curious whether the Vampire King's vines had successfully fused with the Vampire King's vines, or whether they were still in the process of transformation and had not yet been completed.

Meanwhile, after confirming the accuracy of the information through various means, Polaris, Sue, and Shoggoth submitted the mission report to the law enforcement mission management department.

As I walked out of the enforcement department, I could still see many serving enforcement wizards with strange looks in their eyes.

Compiling the report, verifying the authenticity of the content, and conducting on-site investigations—this series of steps would take at least three days.

Prior to this, many wizards in the Underdark had already obtained some specific battle results and inside information about White Lake Wizard City through various channels.

Law enforcement agencies also have their own channels and possess the most information.

For example, five ultimate wizard apprentices in the Natural Ring Tower were killed by a third-level wizard apprentice.

The plan to fall Whitelake Wizard City was thwarted, thanks to the unprecedented role played by that third-level wizard apprentice.

Later, wizard creations comparable to those of formal wizards appeared. Even when the many ultimate wizard apprentices of the Dark Hand joined forces to unleash limit-breaking magic, they did not achieve much success. Instead, they fueled the enemy's arrogance and their strength underwent further transformation.

It was still that third-level wizard apprentice named Wang Yahalak who stepped forward and cast an unprecedented energy spell, completely obliterating and killing the wizard creation that was comparable to a formal wizard.

Both in terms of power and the range of influence, it far surpasses the combined limit-breaking magic of many ultimate wizard apprentices.

This is simply unbelievable. Many third-level wizard apprentices racked their brains but couldn't figure out how King Yahalak had managed to do it.

This also made them realize that there are vast differences between the three levels of wizard apprentices.

The video recording of that terrible witchcraft even sold for the exorbitant price of ten magic stones.

To find out how Wang Ya did it, according to rumors, even formal wizards have made purchases to record the incident.

The events at White Lake Wizard City seemed to become a stage for King Yahalak to showcase himself, with the other members of the Underhand merely serving as foils, green leaves embellishing his glory. This also successfully attracted the attention of wizards throughout the Underlands and even the Land of the Sea.

Wang Yahalak has come into the sights of the higher-ups of all wizarding factions.

Polaris walked out of the law enforcement office expressionlessly; no one knew what he was thinking.

Chief Suer, however, was quite carefree, transforming into light and disappearing.

Chief Shoggoth smiled. "Then goodbye, Polaris Wizard."

Polaris walked alone down the street, his law enforcement wizard robes causing passing wizards to subtly change their expressions and quicken their pace—they recognized Polaris's identity.

Enforcement wizards are arguably the last people an ordinary wizard wants to encounter.

At the same time, within the three-layered space, Wang Ya also discovered some special aspects of the Bone-Corroding Pearl, which greatly surprised him.
