Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 296 [296] The Astonishment of Slaying the Withered Wood Wizard and the Thorn Wizard in Succession

"Oh no, there's still a long way to go in the space around us, there's a big problem." The withered wood wizard's expression changed drastically, and she gradually slowed down her flight speed. She finally realized something was wrong.

As a fellow formal wizard, the Thorn Wizard naturally understood immediately. After calming down, his powerful and keen extraordinary spiritual power immediately sensed the plants and trees below.

The Thorn Wizard's heart skipped a beat. She was very familiar with these plants and trees, and her extraordinary bloodline talent and even instincts could not deceive her.

It's true; instead of moving away from the dangerous area, they kept heading back.

The energy of the withered wood particles transformed into a spreading green ring of ripples. Finally, under the changing refraction of light, the small crystal fragments hidden in the void were discovered. They were densely packed and incredibly complex, with an unknown number and an unknown area covered.

The crystal body suddenly surged and began to shrink back. The two people at the center were subjected to the high temperature radiation from the refracted light, as well as the intense sunlight.

The two instinctively closed their eyes, a sense of foreboding washing over them. Their extensive combat experience led them to make the best choice.

That is the release of the bio-force field.

The withered wood wizard, risking a decline in his condition, forcibly activated more withered wood particle energy, forming a tide of withered wood particle energy covering a hundred meters, indiscriminately attacking everything within its range.

Almost the instant the Thorn Wizard opened his eyes, the withered tree wizard leaned against him, and the gray-green mist exhaled from his green lips contained a large number of tiny green spores, exerting influence at a microscopic level.

It is perfectly integrated into the energy of the dead wood particles, as if it has gained a large number of tiny eyes, which can accurately defend against and attack any enemy target, even at the microscopic level.

"The space has shifted; we're back at our previous ambush site." The Thorn Wizard squinted; biological eyes couldn't observe under such intense white light.

Only at the microscopic level, the sporophyte, can accurately collect large amounts of pheromones.

The energy of the dead wood particles provided defense, and the concentrated high-temperature steam sterilization could not destroy the green spores.

"The bio-field cannot affect the crystal body. Its physical properties are too stable to be distorted by extraordinary mental power, and it also has a strong resistance to particle energy."

The analysis provided by the withered tree wizard was timely and accurate.

"This seems to contain some kind of special magic array power, and it also has the feel of witchcraft, a special combination of witchcraft. If we can't destroy these crystals physically..."

The two maintained a particle energy shield, as well as an outer layer of green spores and a particle energy tidal cycle. The outermost layer of protection and perception was naturally the bio-force field.

Even if a legitimate wizard were to take this opportunity to attack them, they would be met with a thunderous strike.

The impact on the five senses is not too fatal for a formal wizard, nor is it a major weakness.

"The method of rapidly falling, from a low altitude, and even standing on the ground level to escape the crystal, has failed."

The Thorn Wizard's words made the Drywood Wizard's face extremely ugly. They had descended to an area only a thousand meters away from the ground, trying to break free. On the other hand, the crystal bodies were becoming more and more concentrated, and even began to compress the drywood energy tide within a hundred-meter range.

If they don't find a way to break free as time goes on, the only outcome will be that they will be trapped inside the crystal bodies.

This must be some kind of magical array with sealing effects—what a grand scheme!

"Crystal Wizard, it's time to make a move. The Crystal Heart is nearing completion and shouldn't affect the magic array's cycle." The Dark Bat Wizard's face was filled with excitement, eager to try.

The Corrosive Pearl in his hand emitted a bright light, and the numerous souls within it, their faces and bodies crammed against the pearl's walls, wailing, raging, and filled with despair.

In the distance, a huge crystal sphere flew rapidly towards them, measuring about 500 meters in size, almost comparable to the true form of the Dark Bat Wizard's bloodline.

The light refracts, and the surface shimmers like scales, tearing the surrounding clouds to shreds the moment it touches them.

They traveled in a straight line at an extremely high speed, and their final landing point was none other than the airspace where the three of them were located.

The Crystal Wizard could sense the situation inside, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Sometimes, what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears is not necessarily the truth. If your five senses are too lacking, the ecological feedback from the natural environment can be misleading. It's not difficult to do this."

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

They already knew the methods of the Thorn Wizard and the Deadwood Wizard, and had discussed and even rehearsed them many times before setting up the ambush.

It's impossible for White Lake Wizard City to fail either.

Once these two are dealt with and Diana is reunited, the White Lake Wizard City will be breached.

Seeing the Crystal Wizard nod, the black smoke dragon formed by the Black Smoke Wizard opened its head, and sparks flew from the flames the same color as its pupils, rising slightly upwards, as if it were accumulating black smoke fire for a dragon breath.

"Finally, this boring battle can be ended." The Dark Bat Wizard stretched his limbs, making a crisp sound. The force transmitted caused the air to vibrate strongly, and large swathes of clouds were torn to shreds by the resulting gust of wind.

boom!

The burning dragon's breath transformed into black flames that clung to the void, carrying with them the unique floating and gathering sensation of black smoke. The sky was filled with black smoke and fire, swirling and burning everything, covering an area of ​​a full kilometer.

As the center of the incineration, the Crystal Heart Witch Array's individual crystal shards can absorb the damage and emit even more powerful concentrated high-temperature radiation energy.

Through mirror reflection, even the black smoke and flames themselves can enter the interior of the Crystal Heart.

For the people inside to escape, they would have to break the balanced structure of the crystal particles, the even stress points, and the high temperature radiation would cause the crystal material itself to be in a highly polymerized state.

Unless there is an attack method with a higher temperature radiation and particle energy amplitude than that of the crystal body.

This is simply impossible.

The Crystal Wizard was full of confidence in his methods.

No matter how many times he has performed, replicated, or even collected information and compared a large amount of intelligence, even if something unexpected happens and the Dark Lands arrive with support, even if the Rhine Wizard himself takes action, he will not be able to break his Crystal Heart magic in a short period of time.

Other official wizards in the Underdark have even less chance of breaking through.

"It seems I won't need my Bone-Corroding Pearl."

The deep sound echoed across the entire sky, deafeningly loud.

The Dark Bat Wizard once again transformed into his true bloodline form, his enormous black scales and wings covering the sky, blocking out the light while simultaneously injecting his own shadow particle energy into the other side of the Crystal Heart Wizard Array.

"It's over!" The Crystal Wizard sensed the situation inside the Crystal Heart; even he couldn't have survived such a devastating attack.

He couldn't help but relax, and his hoarse voice softened a little.

Click!

The subtle sound made the three formal wizards present feel uneasy.

The Crystal Wizard's expression changed drastically as a clear crack appeared on the Crystal Heart.

A dazzling light burst forth from within, and the surging black smoke and fire formed a terrifying torrent, covering a vast area of ​​thousands of meters. Its terrifying power and immense size were exactly the same as the dragon breath personally released by the Black Smoke Wizard.

"This is impossible!!" The Crystal Wizard's voice became shrill, his emotions so intense that he could hardly maintain his composure.

He clearly sensed the life force gradually disappearing within him, as well as the subsiding destructive fluctuations, so why did the Black Smoke Wizard's methods seem to be released again without any loss?

The mirror-like reflection of the crystal body would cause enormous losses, not to mention reflecting magic, even when converting external magical energy into the interior of the crystal heart.

This is an irreversible and unadjustable loss, which will greatly reduce the lifespan of the crystal body itself.

He didn't understand why even black smoke and fire couldn't break through his Crystal Heart defense.

The situation changed too suddenly. The three people, who had let their guard down, had no time to react before the terrifying black smoke and fire engulfed everything.

Chi Chi!

The jet-black light, traveling at extreme speed, shot out from the not-yet-completely-broken crystal heart and disappeared into a certain spot within the fire domain.

"Ah!" A piercing scream echoed, the voice of the Dark Bat Wizard.

In the shortest possible time, he transformed back into his true bloodline form, his feathers protecting him and his scales absorbing most of the damage. Relying on his powerful vitality, he withstood the black smoke and fire.

But unexpectedly, a black light suddenly burst forth before his eyes and pierced his heart.

The extreme power and kinetic energy it carried, and most importantly, its terrifying sharpness, pierced through feathers and scales, penetrated flesh and blood, and even pierced bones, taking root in the heart.

The massive body of the Black-Eyed Bat plummeted from the clouds, its body still burning with lingering black smoke and flames. Its aura was steadily weakening, clearly indicating that it had suffered an unprecedented and severe injury.

Roar!

The black smoke dragon opened its mouth and inhaled the black smoke and fire into its body. This was its method of release, and naturally, it also had a way to counter it.

The black smoke wizard, whose aura had intensified, launched a counterattack with a fierce glint in his eyes. He swallowed the Crystal Heart whole, and the black smoke and fire inside the dragon's head burned continuously, attempting to incinerate everything into nothingness.

The Crystal Wizard emerged from the sea of ​​black smoke and fire in a disheveled state, looking extremely wretched. Even the special crystal refraction effect on his body had disappeared, revealing an aged face with his long white hair almost charred.

If the Black Smoke Wizard hadn't absorbed the Black Smoke Fire in time, this old man might have been burned alive in the sea of ​​black smoke and fire.

"Don't swallow it, spit it out! That guy is no longer inside!" the Crystal Wizard shouted anxiously to the Black Smoke Wizard, his eyes bloodshot. The Crystal Heart was the foundation of his strength, and if something went wrong with it, his combat power would be greatly reduced.

He spent his entire life collecting materials and creating the 30 billion crystal body.

The current perceived loss is at least 30%. The burning of the black smoke and fire is secondary; the internal cracks are the real culprit.

The Crystal Wizard's heart bled; he wanted to kill—to kill the one who had damaged the Crystal Heart.

"Black smoke, what are you doing? Spit out my Crystal Heart! Are you crazy?"

The black, dusty dragon remained unmoved, as if it had neither heard his voice nor received his sensory information.

The Crystal Wizard's face turned green instantly, and just as he raised his hand, attempting to make a move, his body stiffened.

His pupils dilated, and he looked down at his chest, his face filled with terror.

A long, slender, fair hand pierced through the chest and crushed the heart, while a restrained black lotus flame bloomed on that hand.

"How could this be? How did you do that? This is impossible!"

The figure in the black wizard's robe appeared out of the corner of my eye.

The cool, clear voice echoed in the crystal wizard's ears.

"The dead don't need to know too much."

Chi Chi!

A faint sound emanated from the black-robed wizard, who looked somewhat surprised. His hand had become unable to move, and even the particle energy within his body had fallen silent.

The once vibrant Crystal Wizard's entire body began to crystallize, becoming pure white crystal.

The breath of life also transforms into inanimate objects.

"Although we don't know who you are, killing the Thorn Wizard and the Withered Wood Wizard, plus the unexpected arrival of you, our contribution will only be greater."

A chilling voice rang out behind the black-robed wizard, its tone carrying an extremely cold killing intent. The voice was hoarse, and the person wearing a beige wizard's robe was none other than the Crystal Wizard.

"Thirty percent of the crystal spores are all thanks to you." The Crystal Wizard was filled with apprehension, but fortunately, his extensive combat experience allowed him to turn the tide.

The black-robed wizard in front of him, who was capable of breaking the Crystal Heart, posed a very high threat to him.

"Let me see your true face." The crystal wizard reached out, preparing to remove the black lotus mask from the black-robed wizard's face.

This person is too mysterious; they're completely outside of their information.

With such formidable strength, his fire elemental magic is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of the Rhine Wizards.

It's absolutely impossible that he's an unknown person.

Could it be one of the secrets of the Dark Land?

A question arose in the Crystal Wizard's mind, but when the face revealed after removing the Black Lotus mask filled him with fear.

It was his own face.

The sense of impending death filled him with dread.

Even though I got away as fast as I could, it was still too late.

Yellow light shone from the eyes of that familiar face, enveloping his cheeks.

The next moment, a feeling of consciousness being pulled away came over him. Before he could even resist, six yellow chains shot out and pierced through the limbs of the crystal wizard's body.

As the yellow chains were withdrawn, the soul and consciousness of the Crystal Wizard entered the Nightmare Mirror.

As the body fell, it was caught by another hand and stuffed into a red metal ring.

The movements were so practiced that it was clear this wasn't the first time.

The black-robed wizard's head gradually transformed into a peculiar yellow mirror.

The figure gripping the mirror handle solidified and materialized completely as the mirror turned black, then turned around.

The original figure of the black-robed wizard faded and disappeared into nothingness.

The black mirror reflected the black lotus mask, the shadowy robe shimmered with faint dark light particles, and a pair of indifferent eyes were revealed through the holes in the mask.

Gently turn the yellow face over, and the Crystal Wizard's distorted face appears, his mouth opening and closing as if he is saying something. The anger and resentment on his face are clearly not good words.

"You have obtained a lot of information, observed for a long time, and made a lot of preparations, but I have made more preparations and observed more aspects than you."

"Your methods, your strength, your personality—most importantly, my strength surpasses yours."

The figure wearing the black lotus mask gently brushed his right palm across the yellow mirror, and all the anomalies vanished without a trace.

"Everyone has weaknesses. When one's strengths are too great, one's weaknesses become even more apparent." Wang Ya looked at the black smoke dragon that was still trying to destroy the Crystal Heart. His tone was very calm. With a flicker of his eyes, the whole world changed drastically. Various distorted colored lines were hidden in the void. This area in the clouds was already within his bio-field, and it also carried some special power that connected to the power of the Bubble Land.

The Dream Mirror's [Dream Mark] can do this; it can also be described as a simplified version of witchcraft that replaces reality with the realm of dreams.

"I can't let you, you stupid dragon, ruin my three-star experimental collection."

Wang Ya extended his right hand and approached the black mirror surface of the Nightmare Annihilation Mirror in his left hand. As the ripples spread, the fission path within began to solidify. The fission fire core accumulated in the Fire Bottle at the core followed the fission path to the bottle mouth, which was the mirror surface.

A special longsword gradually materialized, with black particle ripples and pulsating black arcs of light on both the handle and the blade. Its energy fluctuations, restrained to the extreme, possessed only extreme destructive power.

【Magnetic Lightning Sword】

Fine black lines appeared on her fair, slender hand as she gripped the sword hilt. A powerful surge of energy was transmitted to her arm, enough to destroy a hundred-meter-high mountain in an instant.

But Wang Ya's hand holding the longsword was very steady, without the slightest tremor.

The next moment, he slashed directly at the black smoke dragon with his sword.

Inside the bubble land, one can observe everything happening outside through the colorful bubbles.

The Thorn Wizard and the Deadwood Wizard were filled with shock.

They all thought they were doomed and doomed.

The black-robed wizard who suddenly appeared inside the Crystal Heart brought them hope.

They were brought to this special place.

What happened next made them even more unable to believe that it was real.

"Thorn, are you sure you sensed that the other party is a formal wizard, someone of our rank?"

"I think so!"

The Thorn Wizard's eyes widened as she watched the Black-Robed Wizard fight the Crystal Wizard and easily subdue him by locking his soul. She hesitated.

This was a crystal wizard, a veteran and officially recognized wizard, and he was taken down so easily.

In just a few short seconds.

Whether the White Bone Wizard, also a veteran and formal wizard, could achieve this is a big question mark.

Even if they could defeat the Crystal Wizard, they definitely couldn't do it so easily.

"Who exactly is this mysterious official wizard? He's not even mentioned in the battle plan, and he doesn't seem to be one of the official wizards in the Underdark either." The Thorn Wizard took a deep breath, his mind filled with questions. "He'll be the one to save us; he must be on our side. I'm really curious."

"I don't know why, but I always feel that this black-robed wizard gives me a sense of familiarity, as if I've seen him somewhere before." The withered wizard stared at the figure with the black lotus mask in the bubble image, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

The next chapter will be a little later, but it will definitely happen.
