Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 3 [3] The Spell is Completed, Transcendent

The red door closed gently, and the light in the room grew dimmer. Beneath the black hood, the wizard Tuta's eyes held a deep gaze.

A backup plan that may not even work.

As an investment, he could be unusually generous for a wizard, but it was uncertain whether it would bring a return.

The reason for choosing this little guy is probably because his temperament is like that of a real wizard.

His aged body, with its dim vitality, wouldn't last long, and he couldn't bear the effects of radiation on himself; it was better than nothing.

He could gain a long lifespan by leaving this body, but he could not accept the severed path of the wizard.

"A fully-fledged wizard!"

Sighs gradually echoed in the room.

There are five years left.

After removing the black robe, his thin body was covered with skin that was wrinkled and aged, clinging to his bones. His heart was beating weakly, and even his breathing was almost gone.

Yet a powerful aura erupted, filling the entire room, and the candles were extinguished one by one.

The terrifying sea creatures that had been watching the wizard's ship seemed to be startled and plunged into the seabed to hide.

Terrifying particle energy flowed within the aged body, and any release of it was enough to kill all the newborns on the wizard ship with high-energy radioactive radiation.

[High-energy reaction detected. Extremely dangerous. Please move away from within a kilometer radius immediately.]

Clutching the wooden box in both hands, the figure walking down the corridor paused, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and turned back in horror to look at the red wooden door at the end of the red carpet.

Harak, flapping its wings and making a mess of the room, made a horrible noise. Wang Ya frowned, realizing she really had to be a human litter cleaner and clean up the mess on the floor.

The feeling conveyed by the seed of consciousness is endless fear and unease.

The high-energy radiation fluctuations had a vast impact range, subtly targeting creatures similar to Harak.

Through the round window, the sea remained an endless expanse of darkness, excessively so.

Wang Ya's pupils contracted. He had never observed the sea closely before, but it shouldn't be a misperception. In the darkness further away, it seemed that some enormous creatures were surging.

The next day, as Wang Ya was dumping some filth on the deck, Gray was also carrying a sack of things in a disheveled state, letting the vast sea accept his gift.

"Have your cultivated organisms also rioted?"

Gray touched the few new bloodstains on his cheek, wincing in pain.

"This is so abnormal. Kebike went crazy and almost bit me to death."

"My handsome face can't take this kind of pain. If Kobi bites me again, I'll bite back."

Wang Ya: "."

"Hey Wang Ya, look! Arthur's at it again, trying to act all gentlemanly by chatting and laughing with Anna. He's so greasy."

Gray grumbled on the deck, "She's ugly, and Anna has clearly shown her distance and rejection. Can being thick-skinned really enhance a wizard's aptitude? Wow, maybe I can try it too?"

Her fiery red hair was still eye-catching, and she wore a gray robe. Beneath her fair and beautiful face, her crimson eyes showed a hint of impatience.

"Anna, may I invite you to dinner tonight?"

"No, Arthur, I'm going to study wizarding knowledge tonight, I won't even go to the restaurant."

Anna said, smoothing a strand of hair from her forehead.

The new witchcraft she chose is extremely difficult in the elemental energy category, and once mastered, it will be a huge trump card.

【Fire Sun Star】Witchcraft is something that only second-level wizard apprentices would attempt to master; it does not belong to the category of low-level witchcraft.

She was confident, after all, she still had six months to go before she arrived at the academy.

Her talent is also among the best of the new students.

Arthur dismissively said, "Anna, the aptitude of top wizards is different from that of those lower-level freshmen. No matter how hard they try or how desperately they study, they can't bridge the absolute gap in aptitude."

Seemingly sensing something, Arthur looked at the two people not far from the deck.

Gray, with a forced grin, looked like he'd been caught doing something wrong.

Wang Ya glanced at it indifferently, then turned and walked towards the cabin. He never cared about things that didn't concern him.

"Wait for me, Wang Ya, I just remembered my Kobike, I haven't fed it today."

Arthur's face was filled with disdain and contempt. "See that, Anna? This is a typical low-level freshman. His wizarding aptitude is not outstanding, and his choice of witchcraft is extremely foolish."

"Everyone else chose the elemental energy category, but they weren't even qualified to join the wizard exchange activities."

"Once you enter the Dark Wizard Academy, after six months, you will be expelled from the academy and become a wild wizard, eventually dying a meaningless death."

"You and I are different; your top-tier wizarding talent means you're destined to go much further on the path of wizardry."

"I know that, Arthur, but I really don't have time today. I'm going back to my room to try out the calculation of the magical particle energy."

Anna forced a smile. Although what the other person said was true, she was well aware of their little scheme.

Proud as she is, and possessing considerable wizarding talent, the partner she chooses must also have advantages that help her, or even greater talent.

Arthur is only a second-best option; he can be kept on the hook.

Arthur gazed at that graceful figure from behind, took a deep breath, and seemed to still smell a trace of Anna's scent.

His fair neck and proud posture captivated him; he was determined to devour this beautiful swan.

……

Half a month passed in a row.

Harak flapped his wings and slipped into the round window as dusk fell.

Close the windows to shut out the salty sea breeze.

Wang Ya's brows furrowed with unease as he gazed out the window at the undulating waves. Further away, the sky had darkened, resembling a scene of impending doom.

Ever since the strange fluctuations emanating from Wizard Rituta that day, he had been plagued by an inexplicable worry, and today it was the most serious of all.

"Giggle!"

Harak, who was eating the flesh of the sea monster, made a strange sound and his body trembled.

Wang Ya noticed this and his eyes lit up. Could this be a sign that the witchcraft was complete?

【Iron Claw Steel Skin】Cultivation magic, as the name suggests, can endow cultivated organisms with corresponding characteristics.

Once successfully cultivated, it will advance to a transcendent life form, and Harak can easily kill any number of mortals, even powerful knights among them.

Its black wingspan reached a full five meters, its sharp claws easily shattered the floor, and its pupils were blood red, making it look like a demonic crow from hell.

A fierce aura emanated from him, startling Wang Ya. Ordinary creatures or mortals would be immediately paralyzed by the aura.

A subtle blue sheen swirled in the pupil, observed by the Eye of Truth.

Wang Ya revealed an excited smile; the [Iron Claw Steel Skin] cultivation magic was indeed completed.

He already possessed the ticket to the Dark Wizarding Academy.

This is the first step toward the vast truth.

[Target: Harak]

[Race: Black-feathered Raven]
