Wizard Immortal

Chapter 252 Fragments

In the darkness of the night, a bonfire burned continuously in the small village.

In another quiet corner, Yana followed McDormand to the foot of a tall tower.

"This feeling..."

As she reached the foot of the tower, a strange sense of unease welled up inside her, causing Yana to freeze in shock: "It's the power of the altar."

Congratulations, you got it right.

McDoe raised his head and looked at the tower in front of him: "A few years ago, a disaster began to break out. The altar that we had guarded for generations was destroyed, and the curse sealed within was released, causing our people to die one by one."

"At that time, I secretly took a fragment of the sacred stone from the broken altar and placed it on the tall building in front to set up the altar and protect the whole village."

"However, the power of the curse is too terrifying. We can only set up a barrier. Once the power of the divine stone is exhausted, we will still die sooner or later."

Standing in front of Yana, Mike said coldly, "In order to change this situation, I consulted almost all the ancient books and finally found a solution."

After saying this, he turned around, his face directly facing Yana.

When Yana saw Mikedo's face, she was immediately startled.

At this moment, the other person's face looked very pale, and his originally cloudy eyes became lifeless, with a faint scarlet light shining through them. He did not look like a normal person at all.

"you···"

The moment Yana saw the other person's face, fear instantly filled her eyes. Deep within her, some terrible memory seemed to be instantly awakened and reclaimed her mind.

Driven by fear, she instinctively tried to escape from the other person, but she couldn't move her body at all.

Her body was controlled by some force, making her completely unable to move, and now she couldn't even open her mouth to speak.

"The method is to find a member of our clan with a strong enough bloodline to act as a medium, to graft all the curses onto them, and then to use fragments of the divine stone to make an altar to seal the medium used to graft the curses."

Walking in front of Yana, Mikedo wore a thin black robe. His pale face looked somewhat ferocious, and the scarlet light in his eyes could no longer be concealed, which made people feel scared.

"I originally thought that Thor was the most suitable candidate, but when I saw the child in your arms, I knew that she was the most suitable candidate!!" A deep roar echoed around the area.

As he spoke, a faint black aura rose from his body, drifting and gathering little by little, as if he were wearing another thick black robe.

However, he seemed oblivious to all of this, walking forward stiffly, his trembling right hand slowly reaching out to grab Solana in Yana's arms.

"No!!"

Having understood the other party's purpose, and seeing the other party's pale and trembling hand, Yana could no longer care about her fear and roared in her heart.

However, her strength was too weak. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break through the protective layer covering her body. She could only watch helplessly as the other party reached out his hand, and her despair grew stronger.

bump!!

The crisp sound echoed in place, as if it had hit glass.

A faint, distorted barrier appeared in front of Yana, a moonlit enchantment that blocked the outstretched arm.

Before Mike could react, a powerful force field came from in front of him, sending him flying from his spot and crashing heavily into a stone monument with a loud bang.

boom!!

A dull thud rang out quickly. In the distance, the tall stone monument was smashed in half by McDormand, and the complete monument was broken into several pieces that flew away.

Yana then realized that a figure had been standing beside her without her noticing.

He was a handsome young man with black hair, dressed in a white robe, and a curved sword at his waist. Just by standing there quietly, he exuded an aura that brought peace to the soul.

The boy stood quietly beside Yana, his eyes had turned silver at some point, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body, resonating with the surrounding energy particles to form faint, tangible rays of light.

"Who are you···"

Struggling to his feet, Mike looked at the boy who had suddenly appeared in the distance. A hint of confusion flashed in his lifeless, scarlet eyes, as if he had not yet recovered from the previous blow.

"Was the curse slowly influencing you, eventually changing your entire personality?"

Looking at the other person's current appearance, Adir sighed.

"What curse? I clearly..."

Mike stiffly stood up from the ground, and suddenly paused in surprise.

Before his eyes, a mirror formed from moonlight appeared, clearly reflecting his current appearance.

"Yes, I have already..."

A sudden realization flashed through his mind, and then the will he had been able to maintain vanished instantly.

Under Adir's gaze, the other person's appearance began to change.

A violent black aura began to surge, enveloping the entire body as if it were draped in a black robe. A pair of lifeless eyes emitted a scarlet light from the head, and even the originally pale arms turned into a pair of sharp claws. The whole thing looked no different from the black-clad man that Adir had seen before.

Having transformed from his original human form into this appearance, his mind seemed to have completely vanished. He let out a low roar and charged towards Adir.

A faint force field began to emerge, first contracting, then condensing, and finally exploding.

In an instant, a large hole appeared in the man's chest. His entire body seemed to have been hit by a heavy blow, compressed and slammed into the ground.

Roar! !

The furious growls continued, like those of a wounded beast, terrifying to behold.

A shadow shot up from its spot, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind and a faint layer of black mist, pressing down on Adir.

Standing there, witnessing this scene, Adir remained unmoved, only letting out a soft sigh.

A faint moonlight burst forth from his body, and violent energy particles condensed into beams of pure light, eventually transforming into countless blades of moonlight that erupted wildly.

In an instant, the piercing moonlight pushed outwards, shining on the man in black before them, causing his movements to slow down. His entire body began to erupt continuously, emitting bursts of intense explosions.

Amidst the explosion, his body began to scatter, and after breaking apart, it turned into a wisp of black smoke that dissipated without leaving a trace.

"Since he's already dead, he should die a clean death."

Watching the scene unfold before him silently, Adir felt a little disdainful. He then turned to look at Yana beside him.

The moment Michael died, the suppression on Yana was automatically released, and she regained her ability to move.

She looked at the scene before her, somewhat shocked and confused, seemingly still not understanding what was happening: "Lord Adir, this is..."

"The dying wanderers of a group of the dead," Adir's calm voice rang in my ears.

He turned around and looked in the direction of the campfire in the distance: "Most of the people in this village are probably already dead. They were silently possessed by a curse and suppressed by the barrier that exists here, which is why they are still in their living state."

In reality, the problem lies in the village's security.

Including Mikedo, these descendants of the ancient wizards clearly overestimated the power of the village's barrier and underestimated the terrifying extent of the curse.

The heritage of these ancient peoples has long been lost. Even in Adir's eyes, the barrier set up before them is full of flaws and cannot completely block the curse.

It was only because the outbreak of the curse was too insidious that these survivors mistakenly believed that the curse had disappeared. After lowering their guard, they were slowly permeated by the curse.

Judging from McDormand's current condition, he has probably been dead for a long time, but under the influence of the curse, he still retains his appearance from his previous life and even believes that he is still alive.

Thinking of this, Adir silently raised his head and looked at the black wooden tower in front of him.

Within the wooden tower, a faint ripple emanates, constantly spreading outwards and forming a barrier surrounding the entire village.

Looking at the wooden tower in front of him, Adir silently walked forward and pushed open the wooden door.

Inside the wooden door is a small space with a staircase leading upstairs.

Upon entering, Adir looked around.

It looks like no one has been here for a long time. The things around here have been sitting for ages, and there's dust everywhere in the corners. It seems like no one has cleaned it in a long time.

After looking around for a while and finding nothing, Adir continued walking upwards.

Behind him, watching Adir's actions and holding the child in her arms, Yana hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to walk forward and follow in Adir's footsteps.

The stairs inside the wooden tower weren't very long. At Adir's pace, it didn't take long before he reached the end and arrived at the top floor.

This is a small room. Inside, several exquisitely crafted mirrors are placed, reflecting a purple light.

In the center of the room was a small altar, on which was a fist-sized purple crystal that looked like a gemstone from a distance, shimmering with a purple luster.

A faint purple glow slowly emanated from this purple crystal, containing several different kinds of power.

Standing beside the purple crystal, a sudden feeling of unease rose within Adir, which he easily sensed.

This feeling was similar to when he last encountered the World Stone, but much milder, which allowed Adir to maintain his composure and even keep his expression calm.

"It is indeed the World Stone, but there are too many other things inside."

Standing quietly before the altar, carefully sensing the power contained within the purple crystal, Adir frowned.

Under the gaze of Adir the Moon Elf's Eye, in addition to the power of the Worldstone, two other powers were intertwined within the Worldstone fragment before him.

One of the powers was purple, and the aura it exuded was somewhat similar to that of Thor, likely left behind by the ancient wizard who suppressed the curse.

As for the other force, it was black, vaguely condensing into the shape of a black snake. The power contained within it made Adir feel somewhat alarmed, and under its influence, various restless emotions involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Without a doubt, this power is related to the curse, and may even have been infected by the main body of the curse.

"Even the main body of the World Stone, which is used to suppress the curse, has been infected by the curse. It would be strange if this barrier could block the curse."

Seeing this scene, Adir shook his head, then walked forward in the surprised gaze of Yana beside him, and stretched out his right hand to grab the purple crystal.

When the arm touched the crystal, a burst of purple light instantly erupted from the purple crystal, illuminating the small space around it.

This is a protective measure for the altar, which uses some rudimentary witchcraft. If anyone tries to take this fragment of the World Stone, the witchcraft will immediately trigger the fragment's power to resist.

However, these magic arrays were far too rudimentary; they couldn't even withstand Adir, let alone a formal wizard.

With just a little effort, Adir casually unleashed his force field, completely destroying the nodes of the witch array on the altar, and then simply took the fragment.

"Unknown power detected... World energy is beginning to increase..." At this moment, the voice of the chip machine in my mind rang out again.

Under Adir's gaze, the boundary energy on his body was rapidly increasing, only slowly stopping several minutes later.

In such a short time, the energy in his body rapidly increased from tens to hundreds, and it is still slowly increasing.

When the growth rate began to slow down, Adir stood still and looked at his physical data.

「姓名:阿帝尔.法库斯。力量：35.7。敏捷：37.3。体质：38.1。精神：50.7。精神力纯化度：91.9%。界能：317.8。血脉：纯血月精灵（幼年）。」

"Just this one fragment of the World Stone has increased my World Energy by more than ten times."

Standing there, looking at the section on boundary energy, Adir was somewhat surprised and regretful: "This is still a fragment after several years of consumption. If this altar had not been set up, the boundary energy contained within would probably be even more terrifying."

Looking at the fragments in his hand, he said with some regret.

After Adir absorbed all the power from the Worldstone fragment, the purple crystal dimmed considerably, and its color began to change, from a beautiful light purple to a dull blackish purple.

On the surface of the crystal, a pattern of a black snake slowly forms, making it very clear to the eye.

Holding the blackish-purple crystal in his hand, Adir felt a burning sensation coming from his palm, as if something was leaking from the crystal and seeping into his body.

"Since we're already inside, why bother coming out?"

Sensing the abnormality of the crystal, Adir sneered and directly mobilized the moon elf power contained within his body, channeling it into the crystal.
