Wizard Immortal

Chapter 218 World Stone

The wind continued to howl, carrying with it a light drizzle.

If you look closely, you can see that neither the wind nor the rain is naturally generated, but rather the effect of magic.

A violent wind was blowing, and black drizzle was falling continuously. When it fell on people, it would corrode their bodies and forcibly suppress their magical power.

Walking along the wide path, tall buildings stand all around, passing by in the distance.

Beneath their feet lay corpses, mostly wizards of the Emerald Hand, with very few dark wizards dressed in the attire of the Dark Wizarding League.

Among those brought by the Black Wizard Alliance in this raid, even the weakest among them were at least at the level of a formal wizard. In contrast, there were still a large number of Emerald Hand apprentices in the Emerald City.

Besides being the largest apothecary organization in the Maison region, the Emerald Hand is also a renowned wizarding academy, which houses not only many second- and third-class apprentices, but also many ordinary apprentices who have just come to study.

These people were naturally no match for legitimate wizards, and were basically slaughtered by black wizards.

Walking on the path paved with corpses, Adir looked down at his feet.

There, the body of a female apprentice lay quietly, naked, her fair skin covered with tiny wounds, her face contorted in pain, clearly having been tortured before her death.

That wasn't the worst of it. Around them were many other corpses, large chunks of flesh gone, with teeth marks on them, as if something had gnawed them away.

As he watched these scenes unfold, Adir remained calm, though he unconsciously lowered his head and stopped looking around.

The dark wizard is not a good person.

Those who can be categorized as dark wizards are among the most brutal and insane wizards. For these dark wizards, killing is the least of their worries; in many dark wizarding schools, it is common to slaughter tens of thousands of people in one go just to collect flesh and blood, and it is not surprising at all.

Compared to these innocent black wizards, the wizards Adir had encountered before, though equally twisted and brutal, were far less dangerous.

"You are showing pity..."

Ahead, Gloria turned around and looked directly at Adir.

Being stared at by the other party, even though there wasn't much malice in it, Adir still felt a pressure coming on, as if he were being stared at by some ferocious beast.

"Feel sorry."

His expression remained calm, his eyes meeting the other person's gaze silently, without saying anything more.

"Sorry for what?"

Gloria smiled, her stunning beauty captivating everyone, even causing Green to glance at her a few more times.

"Having compassion in your heart means that you still have a conscience, which is a good thing."

After saying this, as if sensing something, she turned around and looked ahead: "We've arrived."

Adir raised his head and followed her gaze into the distance.

A tall palace stood in front of us, the entire building the color of emerald, radiating a soft glow under the sunlight, as beautiful as a palace described in a fairy tale.

Looking at the area, Gloria walked straight inside.

The radiance of magic resounded around her, and the power of the Emerald Light reignited, crashing towards her, only to be blocked by another terrifying force.

She waved her hand, and a force field erupted, condensing into a black palm, which slammed down towards the emerald light screen.

Wow...

The sound of shattering glass rang in my ears.

Standing behind Gloria, Adir saw a flash of emerald light before his eyes, so dazzling that he couldn't help but close them.

When he opened his eyes again, the magical light surrounding him had completely disappeared, seemingly shattered by Gloria's attack.

The surrounding light dimmed instantly, and in Adir's vision, the surrounding palace also seemed to have become much dimmer.

They walked all the way to the front hall, where a huge gemstone stood in the center.

It was a gemstone that was two meters tall, and its entire body was the color of jade, as beautiful as the purest jade gemstone.

The enormous jade stone was glowing, its surface shimmering with pure light and carrying an eerie fluctuation.

Just by getting close to this jade stone, Adir felt his whole body tremble, and the blood in his body was rushing faster, converging towards his heart.

As Adir walked through the hall, he also noticed that around the emerald gemstone, there were several human-shaped stone statues, and the statues still had traces of magical energy.

These stone statues look very realistic. Each statue is dressed in the attire of the Jade Hand and has a pained expression on its face, as if recording the moment before death.

Through his powerful mental energy, Adir sensed a sense of despair emanating from these stone statues, causing him to feel a chill in his heart.

"The Stone of Jade..."

Gazing at the emerald gem in front of him, Gloria murmured to himself, his expression somewhat mesmerized.

As they walked forward, Adir's expression became somewhat strange.

Because at this moment, he clearly felt that something was attracting him to the jade stone in front of him, making his soul tremble and giving rise to an impulse to go forward at all costs.

This feeling was very familiar to Adir, very similar to the feeling he had when he discovered new world coordinates several times in the past, only much stronger.

"What is this...?"

A strange sense of excitement stirred within him. Adir looked up, his pure black eyes reflecting the luster of emerald, and he was somewhat stunned.

"This is a jade stone, but for us, it has a more fitting name: the World Stone."

Gloria didn't turn around; her eyes were fixed on the jade stone, her face flushed, and she looked extremely excited: "Even in ancient times, this kind of thing would have been an extremely precious treasure, enough to start a war."

"It's a pity that the power contained in this World Stone was wasted too much by those fools, the Emerald Hand. Otherwise, perhaps they could have built a World Gate." Green's voice rang out from the side.

He looked at the jade stone in front of him, his face full of regret.

"The World Stone itself has the function of gathering energy. Given time, it will recover sooner or later."

Adir could barely hear the two talking.

A longing from the depths of his soul kept coming, like a traveler on the verge of dying of thirst in the desert finding water. That longing occupied his mind and body, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Urged on by instinct, he slowly walked forward, then reached out his hand and touched the emerald-colored gemstone.

A warm sensation came from his palm, carrying a huge warm current that surged into the depths of Adir's body.

Suddenly, Adir saw a scene.

In the dim space, driven by some force, a star slowly rose, illuminating the entire dark world.

As if the missing parts had been restored, Adir felt an immense sense of fulfillment, and his will returned to normal.

In the dilapidated hall, Gloria and Green stood to one side, watching his movements and turning their gazes toward him.

"Now that you're awake, come down."

Gloria spoke, seemingly unsurprised by the situation: "Your strength is too weak. You can't even resist the force field emitted by the World Stone. If you stay there too long, your mental energy will be assimilated."

"Yes."

Seeing that the other party hadn't noticed anything, Adir breathed a sigh of relief. He then lowered his head, making it impossible for anyone to see his expression, before walking down.

"That feeling just now..."

Thinking of that feeling just now, Adir forcibly suppressed his excitement and his expression returned to calm.

In his mind, however, he was checking the notification that had just flashed across the chip.

"Affected by an unknown force... the realm's energy has begun to increase..."

Looking at this improvement, Adir couldn't help but look at his own physical attributes.

「姓名:阿帝尔.法库斯。力量：22.8。敏捷：23.5。体质：22.7。精神：28.7。精神力纯化度：27.8%。界能：20.7」

The familiar attribute panel appeared before my eyes, and most of the data in it remained unchanged.

However, in the "Boundary Energy" column, the data displayed is more than ten times higher than before.

The 20.7 boundary energy is equivalent to the energy that Adir would have accumulated over twenty years, and now he has obtained it all at once.

Moreover, Adir had a vague feeling that most of the energy he had absorbed from the World Stone in that instant had been absorbed by something deep within his soul, and the World Energy he was seeing now was only a small part of it.

Deep within my soul, a feeling of fulfillment washed over me, as if some unique change was taking place.

Sensing this change, Adir closed his eyes.

A hazy feeling arose in my heart, and the originally dark soul space began to change.

Within the soul space, dim stars stood all around, emanating an ancient and unchanging aura, carrying the majestic power of the world.

All around, the original three world gates had disappeared, transforming into three bright stars that hung high in the sky.

These three stars have varying degrees of brightness, some more powerful and some dimmer, but without exception, they all have a unique connection with Adir, as if one could enter them immediately with a single thought.

Within this soul space, there are countless billions of stars, each a vast world in itself, but only these three worlds, whose coordinates have been mastered, have been successfully illuminated.

As for those dim stars, they represent worlds that have not yet grasped their coordinates.

Standing in this dim world, Adir's will stirred. He looked at a dim star and tried to activate his ability to see if he could travel inside.

A feeling of weakness came from the depths of his heart. On that star, a powerful repulsive force came and instantly expelled his soul.

Adir frowned slightly, savoring the feeling he had just experienced. He was not disappointed, but instead chose his next target.

This time, he did not choose those powerful stars, but instead deliberately selected a very small star.

Judging solely from size, even the weakest of the three worlds that Adir has connected with is dozens of times larger than this star.

With a thought, Adir's soul emitted pure light and headed towards the chosen star.

The familiar feeling of rejection came, but this time it was far less intense than before, leaving a sliver of room for maneuver.

Adir sensed it and realized that he could enter this star using his special ability, but judging from the energy consumption he felt, it was dozens of times more than entering the strange world. Even with Adir's current wealth, he couldn't enter.

"Is this the difference between having coordinates and not having coordinates?"

After several attempts, Adir had an epiphany.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Adir's superpowers can also be enhanced.

As one's superpowers continue to grow, even without knowing the exact coordinates of the world, one can still enter other worlds, although the energy consumption will be much greater.

As for how to increase superpowers, it seems that the only way right now is to work on the World Stone.

The instant he made contact, through his supernatural abilities, Adir clearly sensed the immense power contained within the World Stone. The power he had just absorbed was probably less than one percent of the World Stone's total power.

If Adir could swallow that World Stone whole, his supernatural power would likely grow to a terrifying level.

"pity."

Silently opening his eyes, Adir turned to look at the jade stone behind him, his eyes filled with regret: "This World Stone belongs to someone else after all. Judging from the importance that person showed to this World Stone before, they would never allow anyone else to touch it, let alone let the power of the World Stone be stolen."

"To obtain its power, we can only slowly devise a way."

As Adir walked along the road, looking at Gloria in front of him, this thought flashed through his mind.

Walking across the desolate land, the white stone slabs around us were covered with bloodstains and corpses.

Flames burned all around, accompanied by screams and cries.

It was quite some time later, near dusk, that Gloria finally led her people away.

All that remained was a pool of blood and a large area of ​​building debris.

Several days later, news of the breach of the Emerald Hand spread far and wide, causing an uproar throughout the Maison region.

As the strongest apothecary organization in the entire Maison region, the Emerald Hand's power is among the top, and its leader, Krullard, is one of the strongest individuals on the continent.

The destruction of such a powerful force, with its inherited witchcraft array broken and the dean himself killed in battle, and the accumulated strength of many years almost completely wiped out, naturally attracted the attention of all forces.

As the culprits who breached the Emerald City, the Black Wizard Alliance instantly gained notoriety, shocking everyone and being regarded as a public enemy by many forces.

However, all of this is temporarily irrelevant to Adir.

At this moment, he was standing in front of a tall tower, looking at Gloria with a respectful expression.

"I heard from Green and Anthony that your potion-making success rate is very high?"

Standing atop the tower, Gloria exuded no aura whatsoever, and casually asked Adir.

Sorry, this is the only update today.
