Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 336 [336] Nightmare Attack: Nightmare Wizard Fights Against a Group of Enemies and Slays Dark Bats

As dusk settled, the magical array shield of Rainbow Flower Wizard City remained bright, and many wizards patrolled the city walls, all activating their particle energy shields just in case.

In the distance lies a dense primeval forest, while nearby is a specially cleared area where any creature that approaches can be easily spotted, or even the figure of a wizard flying out of the primeval forest. The stream of light formed by the particle energy shield would make them look like sitting ducks.

In addition to defense, the city-protecting witch formation can also be transformed into an offensive formation by changing its spell pattern. The ripple shield inside will be more stable, and the outer part of the city wall can allow the witches inside the city to launch attacks on those outside.

The only trade-off is that the protective capabilities aren't quite as strong; everything is relative.

Lando the Wizard stood in a shadowy corner on the city wall, almost unnoticed by anyone.

With a crisp sound, several copper coins fell to the ground.

His expression was somewhat strange as he looked towards the primeval forest, with the Natural Ring Tower camp further away.

"This is too reckless. Even if you have the ability, you shouldn't do things like this. Can't you be a little more cautious?"

"However, this unexpected choice might actually yield great rewards if we're lucky." Wizard Lando glanced back at the location of the city lord's mansion, then suddenly chuckled. "As the old saying goes, 'Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass,' it's absolutely true. My cheap master is really something, he almost fooled me."

"The hexagram indicates a very auspicious sign, signifying moderate good fortune, with some close calls but no real danger, and a great harvest."

Chi Chi!

The campfire burned, and sparks flew into the sky and disappeared with the cold air. Figures patrolled the campsite, which spanned several areas and about 20,000 meters.

Almost every area is guarded by a formal wizard, and temporary wizard formations have been set up. An alarm will be triggered if any problem occurs. The distance of 20,000 meters is enough for all the formal wizards of the Natural Ring Tower to take action together.

Torches were placed on the ground, stretching along the camp's roads. The ultimate wizard apprentices rested in individual tents, while the third-level wizard apprentices shared tents in pairs, and the second-level wizard apprentices shared tents in groups of six.

A first-level wizard apprentice is not yet qualified to participate in the war.

"Can we take Rainbow Flower Wizard City? I heard that the elites of the Underdark are all inside, including several full-fledged wizards, and even the Nightmare Wizard has come to support us."

The patrolling squad of wizards began to whisper among themselves. Someone mentioned the words "Nightmare Wizard," which seemed to trigger something, and everyone present fell silent.

However, as the topic unfolded, a wizard's figure soon lowered his voice and said, "The Nightmare Wizard is no ordinary wizard. Those wizards who went to distract the enemy and delay us so we could set up camp are all dead. That's right, they died at the hands of the Nightmare Wizard. It was just a single spell, yet it even alarmed the Crystal Wizard."

"There's a veiled rumor within the Natural Ring Tower that the Nightmare Wizard's strength has reached the limit of a formal wizard, and he also possesses powerful ascended artifacts. If you encounter such an enemy, don't hesitate; just try your best to escape. Facing such an opponent head-on will only lead to despair, no matter how many people there are."

The image of that all-piercing black beam of light from earlier that day flashed through everyone's minds—its extreme speed and power. They unconsciously held their breath, their hearts heavy with sorrow, for they would soon face such an opponent in the battle a few days from now, and who knew how many more would perish.

"The Crystal Wizard and the Black Smoke Wizard should be able to contend with the Nightmare Wizard, right?" one of the wizards said hesitantly.

"That's hard to say, after all..." The third-level wizard apprentice who spoke glanced around. In the torchlight, the surrounding camp was mostly deserted, with only a few long shadows cast on the tents. This relieved him, and he continued in a low voice, "After all, both of these wizards were once defeated by the Nightmare Wizard."

"Lady Diana is invincible. She is absolutely capable of matching or even defeating the Nightmare Wizard. I believe that the Natural Ring Tower will win this wizard war and obtain everything." The wizard at the very end spoke with great determination.

A scene flashed through everyone's minds: Diana was enveloped in green energy, and with a wave of her hand, she created a massive airburst. The invisible pressure crushed a wizard city into ruins, leaving only half of it intact. All living beings were turned into mincemeat, and the city's protective magic array was reduced to nothingness.

Lady Diana seems to be truly invincible.

"That's right, we will win. The Wizard of Absolute Void is invincible."

However, the group failed to notice that a new shadow was gradually appearing under the nearby torches, and it was moving silently, traversing the shadows of all the tents in the area in a mere second.

The black and white raven's black feathers shone with an unprecedented brilliance. With its beak open, a continuous stream of liquid formed from black shadowy substances dripped out.

"Drip!" The very clear sound of dripping water instantly turned into dissipating black mist, gathering and swirling around Wang Ya's surroundings. The faint shadow field distorted reality. It should be said that they entered the shadow realm. Harak's Shadow Lord talent ability allowed him and those under his influence to travel through the shadows, avoiding most damage and surveillance.

Wang Ya tucked Harak into his sleeve. In the shadow realm, other colors could also be seen, which were the extraordinary essences of individual wizards, among which there were five of the most powerful.

Beneath the mask of intoxication, his eyes, gleaming with a chilling killing intent, locked onto one of the dark, extraordinary essences.

No one expected him to launch the attack at night.

This was immediately after the tactics were deployed.

Wang Ya sneered inwardly. There was already an example; he wouldn't make the same mistake.

It's better to trust yourself than to trust others.

Moreover, he has enough confidence in his own abilities.

The key is to strike unexpectedly, catching the target off guard.

"There won't be a second time. This time, I will kill you."

The enormous tent gradually came into focus, and the being of the dark, otherworldly nature took on a concrete form, wearing a black wizard's robe and displaying corresponding physical characteristics.

Sitting in the chair, a white sphere with bloody scars lay on the table in front of him, seemingly a newly transformed Bone-Eating Demon.

The Dark Bat Wizard was flipping through a supernatural book of magic, looking very relaxed and at ease.

Indeed, there is no safer place than the main camp.

The five formal wizards watched over each other.

He is a certified wizard, so what dangers might he face?

"Wang Yahalak, I will not give you a second chance to pierce my heart. This time, you no longer have the advantage of intelligence and our complete lack of preparedness."

The Dark Bat Wizard revealed a sinister smile, his voice extremely sharp.

"I can still feel the pain in my heart, and I will repay this hatred and shame."

As soon as the Dark Bat Wizard removed his hand from the heart, with a "whoosh," his slender, pale hand pierced through the heart, unleashing a torrent of terrifying particle energy.

He froze instantly, instinctively looking down. His bloodied palm was covered with black lines, but the high-temperature radiation evaporated the blood completely.

His face turned pale instantly, and his eyes were filled with panic and despair. He could feel his life force rapidly draining away. The particle energy throughout his body was controlled and could not be used. Even his extraordinary mental power was suppressed.

"How...how could this be...this is impossible...when exactly did this happen?!"

The pain in my chest had subsided, replaced by a burning, scalding sensation, like a sun in full bloom.

A figure clad in a long black robe gradually materialized from the shadows behind him, his voice carrying a chilling killing intent, "It seems the second chance to pierce your heart is right now."

The voice was... Dark Bat Wizard's pupils contracted, and a figure he would never forget flashed into his mind.

A long black robe, a black lotus mask, a cold and aloof demeanor, and a black and white raven always perched on his shoulder.

It's him, it's definitely him!!

"Wang Yahalak, you...you actually...damn it...how dare you do this!" The Dark Bat Wizard's face was extremely ugly, but his eyes glanced at the white and red sphere on the table.

The next moment, white light burst forth, and a large amount of bone spread out, while scarlet flesh also swelled up, forming a giant arm that slammed down on the Dark Bat Wizard.

boom!

The deafening roar echoed through the sky, and the blinding black light was almost indistinguishable from the starless and moonless day, which was as dark as ink; it was as if it were just a flow of darkness.

The Dark Bat Wizard's camp was instantly reduced to dust. A terrifying surge of energy engulfed everything around it, the earth melted and crystallized, and black smoke billowed, creating a storm of ashes that roared like a raging dragon.

The metal stakes, rooted deep in the ground, were completely defenseless against such a shockwave. They were first melted by the high temperature, destroying the internal runes and spells, and then uprooted and merged into the dust storm.

Within a 500-meter radius, the entire area was engulfed by the ash storm. Some apprentice wizards who were still asleep didn't even have time to react before they were turned into a bloody mess, mixed in with the storm, and the ash spread to even more distant areas.

In the blink of an eye, a large area was cleared out and turned into scorched, blackened hellish soil.

Those affected have no chance of survival.

The commotion was so great and so astonishing that it instantly woke up the others in the Natural Ring Tower camp. They all became alert and, sensing the terrifying energy aura soaring into the sky, immediately ran away from the camp.

"King Yahalak, I will surely kill you."

The angry voice, sharp and hoarse, belonged to Diana. She sensed Wang Ya's presence and instantly perceived everything. She unleashed her full power, her entire body filled with white particle energy. The tent she was in instantly turned to dust, affected by the force of her aura.

Her figure transformed into a white ray of light, ignoring the raging ash storm. As she passed through, she directly suppressed all the storm's fluctuations.

In those cold, murderous eyes, there was only the figure in the black robe locked on. The figure stood at the very center of the Ash Storm, where the Dark Bat Wizard's tent was located, holding a severed head in his hand—undoubtedly the Dark Bat Wizard's.

"Nightmare Wizard, you're courting death!"

"Damn it, today you'll only have to stay here and die."

The other official wizards followed and flew out of the tent. After observing all the details, their faces turned extremely gloomy, and their killing intent was chilling.

Qi Qi pressed their auras towards Wang Ya's location, seemingly disturbing the dark and gloomy sky, which began to flash with lightning and thunder, and even showed signs of blood-red clouds, making it extremely eerie.

The wizard apprentices fled even further, wishing their parents hadn't given them two more legs, or that they'd undergone wizarding surgery to modify their limbs and wings so they could run even faster.

This is a full-fledged wizard-level night raid.

Many formal wizards were mobilized, so you can imagine the astonishing scale of the battle; the aftershocks alone were enough to kill them a thousand times over.

"How dare you, how dare you!" Diana's voice, filled with fury and laughter, sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.

This is truly extreme anger, and she's about to unleash her full power.

What a disgrace!

The enemy actually arrived directly at the main camp and launched an attack, and succeeded, killing a formal wizard.

What will the other wizards think? Is Diana a good-for-nothing, or are all the other formal wizards idiots?

Despite the five official wizards watching over each other, the enemy cleanly and swiftly killed one of them each time. Thinking about the many consequences of this incident, the faces of the official wizards present turned extremely grim, their eyes practically spitting fire.

Through the holes in the mask of oblivion, dark eyes held a hint of seriousness, yet the tone was quite relaxed. "Looks like I've stirred up a huge mess. What a spectacle, everyone's come out now."

Without any response, the four official wizards of the Natural Ring Tower simultaneously occupied positions in different directions, preventing the people surrounded from escaping.

The murderous intent in his eyes made him wish he could tear the black-robed, metal-masked wizard to pieces right now.

Bio-force fields spread out, colliding and merging with each other, making the air seem turbid and oppressive. An invisible medium covered the sky, connecting heaven and earth, and the energy of natural particles became disordered and stopped flowing.

This was a combined suppression from four formal wizards; their auras intertwined, threatening to strike at any moment.

Wang Ya's eyes flickered, and he didn't speak again. He was under a lot of pressure. He had also released his bio-force field to face four formal wizards, including two veteran formal wizards. He had to go all out.

Tick ​​tock!

The last drop of blood that hadn't evaporated from the head dripped from the tip of the tangled hair onto the ground.

puff!

After absorbing the energy of light for a long time, the crystals, under the control of the crystal wizard, revealed their forms. The high-temperature rays they refracted shot towards Wang Ya and converged. The blinding black and red rays shattered the already crystallized earth.

It covered a full 300-meter radius around Wang Ya!

It wasn't over yet. Almost at the same time, the Black Smoke Wizard also made his move. His figure suddenly transformed into elemental form, and a large amount of black smoke particle energy formed a surging black mist cloud. With each inhale and exhale, it formed a black smoke wave that engulfed everything.

Wang Ya's expression was solemn. He placed the Dark Bat Wizard's head into the wizard's ring in his hand, and the Nightmare Mirror slid from his sleeve and appeared in his other hand.

Before the expanded shield model formed by the black light could take shape, Wang Ya's expression suddenly changed. A pressure came from the depths of his mind, affecting his entire body, and even causing some disorder in the particle energy within his body.

【Halak Mirror Reflection】

Click!

Black smoke and black-red light collided with the black ripple shield, resulting in the shield shattering and the black-robed figure flying backward.

Wang Ya's face was extremely gloomy. Something was wrong; that influence from earlier... His gaze fell on the Wangquan Wizard, who had remained motionless in place. Just then, the wizard met his gaze, revealing a sinister smile filled with murderous intent.

Special magical techniques that affect the will and mind.

Wang Ya's expression returned to calm, and his figure stabilized in the void. Just as the elemental black smoke dragon transformed from the black smoke wizard bit down, the white light surrounding him faded and disappeared.

"He has entered the dream space. I will force him out." The wizard Wang Quan sneered, his robes suddenly collided, and his hands seemed to transform into golden light particles, disappearing directly into the void.

"Got you?"

A pair of enormous golden arms, like a world-destroying demon god, pressed down on Wang Ya, pushing aside all the distorted colors and hues in the dream space.

Unable to escape, this is the means of locking in.

Wang Ya's pupils reflected the ever-expanding golden arm; the other party was a wizard who walked the path of illusion, or even a dream wizard.

Without a doubt, if they were to leave the dream space now, they would be met with a combined attack from the Black Smoke Wizard and the Crystal Wizard.

This is the true combat situation of formal wizards. Their rich experience allows them to cooperate unparalleled, and Wang Ya is always on the defensive.

If they weren't inside the enemy camp, giving the apprentice wizards ample time to escape, Wang Ya was certain the enemy would have used their most powerful methods against him.

Wang Ya felt something was amiss. He thought of Diana, who hadn't yet made a move. She was definitely making some preparations, and the moment she went out would be the real killer.

However, not going out does not mean that the other party cannot come in.

Formal wizards can also influence the dream space, and even forcibly enter it.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Ya considered many aspects, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around abruptly, a black spear materializing in his right hand at some unknown time.

The power of Nightmare Annihilation covered it, as if shrouded in a faint white glow, its core essence being the restrained energy of Nightmare Annihilation particles.

Whoosh!

It shot out.

It pierced through the two golden arms in an instant.

The royal wizard outside suddenly changed his expression, and withdrew his hands from the void, leaving piercing holes from which golden light particles scattered.

"Be careful, those black spears are terrifying."

Both the Black Sun Wizard and the Crystal Wizard could see what was happening in the dream space, and they also saw Wang Ya continuously condensing black spears within it, which were then flying towards them.

They exchanged a glance, and both knew what was going on.

Chi Chi!

Numerous black spears transformed into streaks of black light, piercing through everything around them at incredible speed. While not quite reaching the level of a fission death ray, it was still too fast for an apprentice wizard to react to.

The black smoke wizard turned his head to the side, the extremely high temperature radiation causing him to frown slightly. The black spear that had pierced through the ground was now embedded in it and melted away.

The three formal wizards looked somewhat gloomy. After barely dodging seven or eight black spears, they exchanged mental signals.

"This won't do. We can't let him keep casting spells from a distance; we're not at any advantage."

"We must force him out. Diana is almost ready. Let's kill him in one fell swoop."

The Wizard of Kings glanced at the long-haired figure in the corner of the sky. At some point, a large amount of green light appeared on the figure's body, gradually condensing into a substantial robe with extremely complex patterns that made people dizzy just looking at it.

The Natural Garment is a third-level sublimated magical artifact passed down through the lineage of nature. It possesses the extraordinary knowledge, memories, combat experience, and massive particle energy storage of past natural wizards. Once worn and used, it allows one to draw upon the power of past natural wizards.

The Wizard of Royal Power placed his hands on the shoulders of Crystal and Black Smoke, and the three official wizards transformed into a golden radiance and merged into the void.

"While my particle energy remains, you can unleash your full power of witchcraft to kill him."

However, just as the three were about to attack their target, they discovered that the other party had removed the mask of indulgence from his face at some point, revealing a strange smile.

This caused great unease among the three of them.

The next moment, the entire dream space was shaken by the terrifying aura emanating from Wang Ya. A large amount of distorted colors gathered around him, forming a huge swirling tornado of colors, which was incredibly astonishing.

Wang Ya was enveloped by a large amount of Nightmare Annihilation Dream Power, and black mist continuously filled and occupied it. It was a purer, more restrained darkness than that of the Black Smoke Wizard, full of evil and ominousness.

In a daze, the three seemed to see another world gradually emerging from the depths of the black mist—a world filled with black and white bubbles, black trees, vast lands, and living creatures.

"This is bad; this black mist is affecting our mental strength."

"So what if you're hiding your strength? With the three of us working together, we can hold off even a level two wizard for a few minutes."

"Don't hold back anymore, unleash your full power and kill him!"

The Black Smoke Wizard fully materialized into his elemental form, forming a giant black smoke dragon that reached nearly six thousand meters in length. The particle energy it contained was extremely terrifying, and the clouds covering its body were constantly exploding and roaring. Any enemy who approached its elemental form would be instantly reduced to dust. The power of a veteran, formal wizard was on full display.

A vast amount of particle energy, extensive combat experience, perfect judgment of the situation, and a sophisticated system of witchcraft.

Such an opponent can only be countered by fellow veteran, formal wizards.

The Crystal Wizard vanished, replaced by a vast expanse of crystal stones covering this dream space, interconnected until they formed a colossal five-thousand-meter-tall crystal giant, its pupils glowing with a blood-red light, radiating murderous intent.

The Royal Wizard also unleashed his most powerful technique, not the materialization of dreams, but a dream form created by referencing the true forms of the elements.

The enormous golden body collided violently, expanding and transforming into a two-thousand-meter-tall golden giant in the blink of an eye. Although its strength was slightly weaker, it was the most threatening to Wang Ya due to its advantageous terrain.

"die!"

A deafening roar resounded, and the dream space seemed to be about to explode. The originally chaotic color distortion range and all the strange creatures that existed there fled in fear. Those that did not have time to escape were directly annihilated and crushed by the aftershocks of the particle tide generated by the collision of the four formal wizards' magic and particle energy.

The battle has progressed to this point, and it's now a matter of life and death.

The three wizards used their most powerful methods in an attempt to tear the black-robed wizard in front of them to pieces.

The black beam of light scattered, piercing through the black smoke dragon and spreading for 20,000 meters, expanding most of the dream space. Everywhere was a mess, things composed of distorted colors were destroyed, and liquid pigment dripped from the sky like a strange rain of seven colors.

The battle continued. Facing the combined power of three formal wizards, Wang Ya's fighting spirit was also aroused. His whole body was covered with black lines formed by the fission path, and he directly entered the fission nuclear energy body state.

The terrifying Nightmare Annihilation Particle Energy directly dispersed the encroaching sorcery energy, transforming into an elemental giant with a height of eight thousand meters. How astonishing, how terrifying! This body was entirely shaped by special particle energy.

This also startled the three formal wizards. They did not expect that Wang Yacai had accumulated such particle energy in just a few decades, and that his foundation was so profound that his wizardry system was almost flawless.

Then the killing intent intensified. If given more time, wouldn't they grow even more terrifying? They all charged towards the Nightmare Giant. The black smoke dragon tore at them, while the crystal giant hugged its chest, absorbing the surging energy.

The golden dream giant drew out distorted colored lines within a radius of ten thousand meters, which transformed into enormous chains that wrapped tightly around the Nightmare Giant, binding it firmly. These chains then coalesced into a golden longsword, which slashed down towards the neck.

The Royal Wizard was actually preparing to cut off the head of the Nightmare Giant.

However, a large amount of fission death rays radiated from the Nightmare Giant's body, directly piercing through the three enormous creatures around it.

"Chains? I've got them all out of my hands." Wang Ya grabbed the chains on his body, yanked them off, and they snapped in two.

Countless black threads appeared on the fingers of the Nightmare Giant's left hand, then shot out suddenly, wrapping around the black smoke dragon, binding the crystal giant, and the golden dream giant could not escape the binding.

"Impossible, my particle energy is suppressed and I can't use it."

"My pure dream power is also suppressed. What exactly are these black threads? Why do they possess both illusory and real powers? This is impossible!!" the wizard Wang Quan exclaimed in horror.

"Are we going to die here today? What a joke! Two veteran wizards and a dream wizard teamed up against a newly promoted wizard, and we still lost!" The black smoke dragon roared, its voice filled with resentment and humiliation.

"This is unreasonable! His strength is too great, unreasonably so. Is he really a formal wizard?" the Crystal Wizard exclaimed in shock.

Their struggles were futile; they were pulled ever closer to the Nightmare Giant, whose massive black spear coalesced in its right hand.

Wang Ya's voice was filled with chilling killing intent, "I didn't give Dark Bat Wizard a second chance, and I won't give you a second chance either. I will not let go of anyone who participated in the attack on Dream Wizard, no matter what their identity is."

"Keep me here, and I'll let you leave today."

A cold female voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire dream space, causing the space itself to tremble as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

A terrifying aura surged in from all directions, attacking this dream space with incredible speed. It could transform this dream space into its own domain in just two seconds, like a released bio-force field.

In terms of power, it has already surpassed the level of a first-level wizard and reached a higher level.

Wang Ya also sensed a life-or-death crisis. The owner of the voice was filled with murderous intent, locking onto his location, but the content of the speech was indeed true.

As long as he stops attacking the three, they will let him go.

puff!

The spear of Hades pierced straight through the black smoke dragon's forehead, pinning it to the void.

"What can I do if I don't keep them here!" He sneered.

At the same time, another spear of the underworld god materialized in his hand, attempting to pierce the crystal giant's head.

The main will and soul of the Black Smoke Wizard reside in the head, as does that of the Crystal Wizard.

Consciousness and soul can transfer within the elemental true form, but the annihilation and fission black lines have already bound everything in advance, suppressing any of their actions.

That's why it's become a little more difficult for Wang Ya to kill these three people.

"You're asking for it!"

Diana's voice was filled with unprecedented rage, and green light burst forth from every corner of the dream space, transforming into streams of light that bombarded the Nightmare Giant.

She successfully invaded this dream space and attacked Wang Ya in anger.

P.S.: The next chapter will be posted tomorrow; I have something to do tonight.
