Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 8 [8] A Terrible Battle, Harak's Upgraded Dark Matter

As dark as ink, it gradually engulfed the entire wizard ship. The red carpet seemed to lose its original color, gradually turning grayish-white and then pitch black.

As this astonishingly pervasive, vibrant darkness clung to the red wooden door.

Inside the captain's cabin, the lit candlelight flickered even more dimly.

The figure on the sofa had been sitting there for who knows how long, and there was a faint dust on it.

puff!

One by one, the candles went out, and the wizard Tuta finally opened his cloudy eyes, staring at a certain silhouette in the darkness before him.

A powerful aura suddenly erupted, and as his robes billowed, his slightly hunched figure seemed even more majestic than the mountains.

The invisible pressure turned everything to dust—the sofa, the walls, the ceiling, and even the thick, ink-like darkness that tried to entwine around it.

The particle energy flowing through his limbs and bones manifested in reality. This particle energy was incredibly powerful, transforming into a surging, dark light wave that spread in all directions, proclaiming his existence.

The Wizard of Tuta has an undeniable presence; even in a crowd, he is the first person you notice.

He seemed to be the center of the world.

With each step taken, the superhuman creatures within the solidified darkness—creatures that had undergone special modifications and were ten or even a hundred times stronger than the Thorn Sea Beasts—all turned to dust and vanished into nothingness.

Until we walked down the red carpeted corridor to the deck.

Darkness could not get within ten meters of the Wizard of Tuta. The dark particles of energy bloomed like eerie flames, forming a lotus shape, which was exceptionally beautiful.

A skeletal right hand, as thin and bony as a withered bamboo pole, emerged from beneath the robes and grasped a white, menacing bone staff.

The continuous infusion of particle energy caused the bone staff to grow from its original height of several tens of centimeters to a height of 150 centimeters, reaching the ground.

When the hood was pulled back, the old man's scarred and wrinkled face surprisingly showed no trace of old age. Instead, it exuded a fierce, earth-shattering power.

It is uplifting and inspiring, reminding one of the most passionate and vibrant time of youth.

More darkness surged forth from the deep sea surrounding the wizard ship, accompanied by a shadowy figure emerging from the shadows. All this darkness gathered in its hand, forming a dark void spanning a full twenty meters.

A powerful suction force erupted within it, as if the entire wizard ship was about to be sucked in and turned into collapsing fragments.

The wizard Tuta finally recognized it, his pupils contracted, and his expression turned somewhat surprised. "So this is the Dark Heart magic."

The other party did not answer, but instead threw the dark void formed by the witchcraft at the wizard Tuta.

If no measures are taken to stop it, the powerful particle energy it contains will engulf the entire wizard ship along with a radius of fifty meters around it, making it extremely terrifying.

If a formal wizard were to cast the spell, the range of influence would be approximately 100 to 200 meters.

Tuta the Wizard's eyes were gloomy. He slammed his white, sinister bones heavily on the deck, and with his feet as the center, a large amount of mental energy and particle energy began to be consumed, and a large number of wizard runes in his mind were activated.

Dark element particles began to gather around him, and in the blink of an eye, the invisible and intangible particle energy fully exerted its particle properties, transforming into a tangible, blooming, dark-colored, fifty-meter-long lotus flower.

Each petal was lifelike, enveloping the entire wizard ship. Then, the black void was enveloped by this lotus flower, and the powerful suction had no effect on the lotus.

The wizard Tuta had disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the figure floating in the void.

Powerful sorcery bloomed in his hand, forming a dark longsword made of highly condensed dark elemental particles, possessing the properties of corrosion, erosion, and poison.

The figure's pupils contracted, and a look of horror appeared on his face. He clearly hadn't expected that the wizard Tuta would possess such combat power.

"Everyone said you were old and about to die, but I never expected this."

"Being old and near death doesn't mean being old and unable to walk."

The wizard Tuta sneered, swinging his magic sword without hesitation. Then, he unleashed a barrage of low-level and mid-level magic spells without restraint.

The other side also engaged in battle with the wizard Tuta, and the battle was fierce, with deadly moves at every turn.

The surrounding sea area was gradually affected by the particle energy released by the two people, as well as the high concentration of radiation, to the point that a large number of marine creatures floated on the surface of the water, and were dead beyond any doubt.

For a powerful wizard, if you are a mortal or a wizard who is too weak, you don't even have the right to watch the battle.

There is a high probability that excessive energy radiation from watching the battle could lead to widespread necrosis of the body and death.

Fortunately, the wizard ship itself was equipped with radiation shielding devices.

Wang Ya was unaware of the terrifying battle outside and was currently holding his breath because of the analysis results from the Eye of Truth.

But it was of no use; the creature in the corridor outside wasn't a zombie and didn't rely on heat to sense things, but rather on smell.

The dagger he held in his hand had a bluish sheen, clearly indicating that it was highly poisonous.

Under his own influence, Harak stood like a statue on the other side of the gate.

boom!

The door was slammed open. This thorny sea monster, with its low level of intelligence, couldn't play any tricks like sneak attacks or hiding. It only knew how to use the most violent methods to drag the wizarding newbie out of the room, bite him to death, and eat him.

A dagger with a blue sheen appeared in its almond-shaped eye socket at that moment.

Analysis and calculation from the Eye of Truth can present a three-dimensional projection, materializing everything within five meters.

Therefore, Wang Yazha's strike was very accurate.

The intense pain and the loss of sight caused it to howl and writhe in agony as it struggled and rolled around in the room.

Harak flapped its wings, its feathers as hard as steel, showing no fear of the bony spikes on the Thorn Sea Beast, and its sharp claws seized the beast's spine.

Accompanied by a 'click' sound.

Without the support of its spine, the Thorn Sea Beast is like a lobster on a chopping board, occasionally writhing and struggling.

The final result was without a doubt: under Harak's iron claws, the thorn sea monster, its head smashed, fell silent.

The grotesque bone spurs on its spine are the Thorn Sea Beast's strongest attack, but also its most fatal weakness.

Wang Ya breathed a sigh of relief and closed the shattered door, even though it left a large gap in the middle.

"This thorny sea beast is a bit too big."

Logically, the color of the scales and the shape of the body should not be like this.

[Hint: The heart of the Thorn Sea Beast contains extraordinary substances that can produce a beneficial mutation effect on both extraordinary and ordinary creatures.]

Wang Ya's eyes lit up immediately.
