Wizard Immortal

Chapter 204 Black Mark

Click! Click!

The dull footsteps echoed continuously in place, lingering for a long time.

Looking around, Adir walked forward, watching the scene where the man in black disappeared.

"Completely disappeared?"

After scanning his surroundings and confirming that the man in black had completely vanished, he was filled with doubt and commanded the chip in his mind: "Chip, replay the image from just now!"

As the order was given, scenes flashed through my mind, replaying in my head.

However, in the footage recorded by the chip, no man in black appeared from beginning to end; everything seemed perfectly normal, as if the scene just experienced was entirely an illusion.

But looking around and feeling the unique sensation he had when facing the monster, Adir had no doubts whatsoever; only his doubts deepened.

Adir waved his hand, dismissing the guards who had quickly approached. With a calm expression, he walked quickly to the wooden door not far away and opened it under Thor's tense gaze.

Upon opening the door, a chilling aura wafted out from the front. A girl lay quietly on the bed, the black marks on her body constantly writhing and shrinking, rapidly retracting to her forehead.

On the girl's chest, a purple stone sat quietly, emitting a faint glow that gradually faded the black marks on her body.

Seemingly sensing Adir's arrival, the girl on the wooden bed turned her head to face him.

A pair of cold, sinister eyes immediately fell on Adir, their gazes filled with an eeriness and madness.

The girl's eyes were open, and her entire eyelids had turned white.

If you look closely, you can see some fine black patterns in the white eyes, which seem to have a mysterious and eerie power, and you don't know what they represent.

Standing still, facing those eyes directly, Adir couldn't help but frown, sensing that something was amiss.

This feeling came quickly and went quickly. It seemed that because the man in black had been dealt with by Adir, without the cooperation of external forces, the power within the girl eventually went dormant, and her pure white eyes returned to normal and closed again.

"Yana..." A deep voice came from beside her.

Standing behind Adir, Thor saw the girl's appearance just now and stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I think I need an explanation."

Looking at the other person's appearance, Adir spoke softly, his expression very calm.

"Lord Adir."

Under Adir's gaze, Thor snapped out of his daze and a look of guilt appeared on his face.

"This matter... is quite complicated."

He paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

···············

"According to the elders, our clan should also be descendants of ancient wizards, and the sacred bloodline of ancient wizards is passed down in our family."

Walking side by side with Adir in the garden, Thor began to speak: "However, unlike the descendants of other ancient wizards, our clan bears a certain mission, guarding something for generations."

"That's a relic of ancient wizards, a terrifying thing. The reason we've become like this is because of its influence."

"Did something go wrong with the seal?" Adir asked in return.

"Yes." Thor said with a wry smile, "I don't know what happened, but one night, the power of that thing suddenly erupted, and the curse hidden in the bloodline was triggered, causing one member of the clan to die after another."

"curse?"

Upon hearing this, Adir frowned.

"That's the kind of thing."

Meeting Adir's gaze, Thor pointed to his forehead and smiled wryly.

There was a faint mark on his forehead; although it looked very faint, it was definitely there.

"This is the curse."

Thor sighed, "The curse on me has actually already erupted, but it has been suppressed by the power of my bloodline, so I am temporarily safe."

"However, as time goes by, the power of the curse will become stronger and stronger. When the power of the bloodline can no longer suppress the curse, it will become like Yana, with the power of the curse all over her body completely erupting, attracting that thing."

As he spoke, his face was full of bitterness and resentment.

Adir, standing nearby, frowned slightly as he listened.

In the wizarding world, curses are undoubtedly a very troublesome thing.

There are many sources of curses. Some are so simple that even apprentices can cast them, while some complex and terrifying curses can stubbornly persist even after thousands of years.

The ancient curse on Thor's body was undoubtedly one of the most terrifying.

"I'll take Yana away from here soon..."

After a moment of silence, Thor spoke again: "If I continue to stay here... I'm afraid it won't be good for you, Lord Adir."

Where are you going?

Adir's expression remained unchanged as he countered with a question.

"I don't know." Thor's expression was somewhat bitter. "Let's get as far away from here as possible. The farther away we are, the more the curse will be suppressed, and the longer it will take to erupt."

"You seem to be fine."

Adir glanced at him: "But that girl, her body has already begun to mutate. If you take her away from here, something bad will probably happen immediately."

Hearing this, Solton was stunned for a moment, and the bitterness on his face became even more obvious: "I didn't expect... even Yana..."

"Interested in making a deal with me?" Adir's voice came from the side.

··················

At night, in the spacious laboratory, Adir stood quietly in the center.

In front of him was a large white platform, on which a little girl was lying.

Standing silently in place, Adir drew some blood from the girl, then turned to Thor beside him and shouted, "Take off her clothes."

"Huh?" Solton was stunned when he heard Adir's words, looking somewhat at a loss: "This... isn't appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate?"

Adir turned to look at him: "Didn't you already see her clearly when you were changing her clothes?"

Upon hearing Adir mention this, Thor blushed, hesitated for a moment, and then obediently stepped forward to take off the girl's clothes one by one.

On the other side, standing in front of a testing table, holding purified blood, Adir was also constantly observing.

The field of vision expanded continuously, and with the aid of the chip, Adir watched quietly.

Unlike normal blood, the girl's blood appeared red, but it had a dark purple tinge.

Within the purified blood, through the continuous magnification of the chip, Adir also saw chains of purple bloodlines, shimmering with a faint light.

Unlike the bloodline chains Adir had seen before, the purple bloodline chain before him was also covered with some kind of black substance, which was rooted in the purple bloodline chain and formed a unique structure.

Only by magnifying his vision to the limit could Adir see the true appearance of those things.

Those rooted in the bloodline chains were actually another, even smaller bloodline chains. Although small, they were incredibly complex, and at this moment they were densely rooted in the purple bloodline chains, as if they were wrapped in a black shell.

"This is?"

Upon seeing the scene before him, Adir was taken aback: "Two different bloodline powers?"

He turned around and continued to observe ahead.

The dense purple and black marks intertwined, each forming a bloodline mark.

However, there was a difference. The purple bloodline mark not only looked extremely damaged, but it was also being corroded by another powerful bloodline mark. Almost every bloodline chain was parasitized and wrapped by another bloodline chain, and the whole thing looked almost entirely black except for a little bit of purple.

From the combination of black markings, Adir also saw something clearly.

It was an extremely complex pattern of three snakes, each line and scale composed of countless chains of blood vessels, possessing an eerie power, as if it were still alive.

Seeing this scene, Adir felt a strange sensation in his heart. A wisp of spiritual power emanated from his spiritual sea and poured into the three-headed serpent mark.

boom!!

As if struck hard on the head, Adir felt as if his head was about to explode, a sense of mental tearing came quickly, accompanied by a rapid loss of mental energy.

Stimulated by his mental energy, the three-headed black serpent in his vision seemed to come alive, a black bloodline power flowing through it. The three-headed black serpent suddenly looked at Adir, its eyes filled with indifference and death, gradually glowing.

"Unknown force field detected. Main mental energy is rapidly depleting. Immediate cessation recommended!!" The chip's alarm was rapidly sounding in his mind.

Standing in front of the test bench, Adir gasped for breath. His once pure black eyes had changed, turning into snake eyes that looked cold and indifferent.

bump!!

A loud bang came quickly from his mind, and Adir retreated rapidly, finally stopping the loss of his mental energy and no longer being affected by that power.

"Lord Adir, what's wrong?" Thor's concerned voice came from the side, looking at Adir's current appearance with some confusion.

"It's nothing." Adir shook his head gently, his expression returning to calm, showing no sign of anything unusual.

However, the scene he had just witnessed stirred up a wave of emotions within him.

"Is that the origin of the curse?"

Standing before the testing platform, recalling the scene just now, Adir frowned to himself: "The Three-Headed Black Serpent..."

"Chip, detect relevant data." The next moment, Adir gave the order to the chip in his mind.

"Task established... Database established, initiating data comparison..." The chip's mechanical notification sounded in my mind.
