Wizard Immortal

Chapter 332 Polluted Beast

In the distance, a strong wind is blowing everywhere.

Amidst the strong winds, a slight commotion is emerging from underground.

"Um?"

Standing there, Rida, clad in black leather armor, suddenly felt a pang of doubt.

The titled knight's keen senses made him feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

At this moment, he felt a sense of oppression throughout his body, as if his heart was being squeezed by something, making it difficult to breathe.

Sensing this abnormality, he frowned inwardly, then walked silently into the distance, preparing to reunite with his subordinates.

But before he could make a move, a scream suddenly rang out from afar.

Ahh ...

A heart-wrenching howl echoed from the spot, like a cry before death, unsettling everyone.

Upon hearing the sound, Rida's attention was instantly drawn to it, and her tense mind relaxed for a moment.

bump!!

The sound of a spear piercing the air came from beside him, accompanied by a howling wind and pressure, which was transmitted directly to Rida in that instant.

boom!!

The next moment, a collision sound rang out from the spot. Two different forces collided instantly, and the surging power splashed out in all directions, igniting a burst of sparks around them.

Having hastily blocked the attack, Rida's figure quickly retreated, but before he could regain his footing, an even more terrifying howling sound came from behind.

Several huge, thick, long arms suddenly stretched out from the ground and swung rapidly toward Rida, slamming into him and sending him flying a great distance.

"cough···"

Having been caught off guard and struck hard, Rida coughed up blood and instinctively looked in the direction where he had been standing.

There, the earth was undulating and shaking, and then a huge monster broke through the ground and emerged from the earth.

It was a colossal monster with three enormous heads and dozens of arms, standing over ten meters tall. It looked like a tall building, giving off a powerful aura of pressure.

"This is···"

Looking at the enormous monster before him, Rida's eyes flashed with shock: "The Seed of Corruption...it actually succeeded..."

Before he could even react, the enormous monster rushed toward him. Even though it was as tall as a small building, it was still incredibly fast, reaching Rida in an instant.

Seeing the enormous three-headed monster before him, Rida made no attempt to dodge, instead drawing his gray greatsword and charging towards it.

The next moment, a soft sound rang out from the spot. A massive blade of light flashed past, tearing away a patch of black flesh and blood, scattering it all around.

Before them, a huge hole had been slashed through the chest of the enormous three-headed monster, revealing black flesh and blood that emitted an extremely disgusting stench.

However, even in the face of such a heavy blow, the three-headed monster in front of him seemed to be unaffected, showing no reaction at all, and still charged towards Rida without any regard for anything else, with dozens of arms reaching out to grab him.

flutter!

Despite dodging in time, Rida was still unable to completely evade the attack at such close range. Her arm was tightly gripped by a pale arm, and she couldn't pull it away at all.

A strange power began to emerge from his arm, carrying an extremely strong corrosive and polluting quality.

"No!!" Feeling this sensation on his body, Rida had this thought in his mind. His body was being dragged by the arm in front of him, and he involuntarily leaned towards the monster.

Seeing this scene, a strong sense of danger flashed through his mind. His right arm, which held the broadsword, trembled slightly, and the light of battle aura shimmered on it.

Before he could even make a move, a flash of sword light appeared before his eyes. A silver longsword, accompanied by a sharp gust of wind, instantly slashed at the arm, severing it completely.

Beside him, Adir transformed back into Andak, now wielding a longsword, and pulled Rida away from the monster's embrace.

"Andak." Looking at Adir before him, Rida seemed somewhat surprised, then, glancing at the three-headed monster behind him, he shouted without hesitation, "Run!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Adir and ran away into the distance without the slightest hesitation.

As a titled knight of the Turing Cult, Rida had a great deal of knowledge about the cult's plans.

This three-headed monster, which is over ten meters tall, is part of an important plan. Once it is successfully created, its powerful polluting properties and enormous size will make it invincible, even for a top-tier titled knight. Their only option will be to flee.

Fortunately, while this monster possessed great vitality and destructive power, its speed was not outstanding, only at the level of an ordinary Sky Knight.

The monster couldn't catch up with Adir and Rida, who were determined to escape. After roaring for a while, it left to the side.

The two fled outwards, and during this process, they lost all contact with the other knights who had come with them. Only occasional low growls could be heard from afar, sending chills down their spines.

They walked all the way to a small hill outside the base before stopping.

Standing still, Adir turned around and looked back.

Behind them, amidst the ruins of the buildings, corpses began to stand up, and from the ruins, grotesque monsters crawled out, roaring incessantly.

"It actually succeeded!"

Looking at the terrifying monster standing atop the ruins in the distance, Rida's face showed a mixture of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing admiration and fervor): "His Majesty's army and trump cards, prepared over decades, have finally..."

He stood there, muttering to himself from time to time. Looking at the hideous and terrifying monsters in the distance, he felt not fear, but rather a burning passion in his heart.

"When did you reach the rank of Sky Knight?"

After a while, his gaze fell on Adir beside him, and as he recalled the scene just now, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

If Adir hadn't appeared in time, he would have been in danger, or at the very least, lost an arm.

However, this also proves that Adir's strength has reached the level of a Sky Knight without him even realizing it; otherwise, he would never have been able to hurt that monster.

"Just a few months ago." Looking at Rida before him, Adir maintained a respectful expression, then added with some doubt, "Lord Rida, what are these monsters here?"

"That's a Corruption Beast." Hearing Adir's words, Rida turned to look into the distance, his vision gradually becoming clearer: "A powerful monster created through experiments mixing various bloodlines, with the Seed of Corruption at its core."

"Let's go." He seemed somewhat excited. "Although there have been some losses, compared to this news, all the losses are worthwhile."

After saying that, he turned and walked away, no longer looking into the distance.

In the distance, watching Rida and his companion leave, on a pile of ruins, the three-headed monster that had attacked Rida earlier suddenly stood up. The head in the center, which resembled an old human, turned, and one of its eyes gleamed with a glimmer of wisdom.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Rida and the others seemed to care a lot about what happened at that branch base. So, as soon as they returned to the branch in the Maran Empire, they hurriedly left with their men, supposedly to report the matter to headquarters.

As for Adir, it seems that he impressed the other party with his previous performance, and also because he had become a Sky Knight. Before Rida left, he also arranged a position for Adir, making him the branch manager of a certain region.

Adir readily accepted this offer.

This type of branch manager doesn't need to spend too much time; as long as you're willing to delegate, your subordinates will handle the daily tasks for you.

As the person in charge, Adir only needs to show up every now and then and take the opportunity to solve some problems that others cannot solve.

In addition, the area he was in charge of was not far from Maran City, so it was generally convenient.

After a quick inspection of the area under his charge, Adir returned to his original appearance and went back to Alina's manor.

"Why did it take so long this time?"

In a spacious and luxurious room, sitting on a comfortable wooden chair, Alina looked at Adir in front of her and asked softly.

Today she was wearing a light white dress with loose red hair, and she looked tired, as if she had used up a lot of energy during this period.

"Sorry, there was a slight delay on the way, which made this trip take a little longer."

Looking at Alina in front of him, Adir smiled and apologized somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"It's nothing." Alina shook her head, then looked at Adir and asked, "How was the trip? Did you gain anything?"

This was the reason Adir gave when he left.

After all, it's usually fine; a day or two is enough to get by, whether it's hunting in the deep mountains or traveling to distant places.

But this time, being away for almost a month, those excuses are no longer valid.

Therefore, the excuse he used for leaving this time was to go somewhere to prepare materials, hoping to concoct some potions to restore vitality.

"The harvest was pretty good," Adir said. "I encountered some things on the way, but I happened to find a solution, and I can try configuring it later."

"That's good." Hearing this, Alina couldn't help but smile.

Having spent so much time together, she had no doubt about Adir's medical skills.

Neither limb reattachment surgery, which is extremely difficult, nor the use of a powerful potion like the Boiling Blood Elixir, which can directly enhance physical fitness, are things that ordinary doctors would not be able to provide.

Therefore, she had great confidence in Adir's medical skills and potion-making abilities.

Opposite her, at this moment, looking at Alina before him, Adir also sighed in his heart.

After activating the Seed of Destiny, his perspective was now vastly different from before.

In his vision, he could clearly see wisps of purple aura rising from Alina's body. Although it was constantly being consumed and burned, it was still being replenished continuously.

This cycle of consumption and replenishment brought his world power to a balance, which continued to grow slowly, making Adir feel terrified at this moment.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Alina's voice rang out again.

She looked up at Adir and said, "In the meantime, prepare yourself. In a few days, we'll go to Katutan."

P.S.: I recommend a friend's book, *Summoning Master*. It's a DND (Dungeon Fighter Online) fantasy novel where the protagonist possesses a summoning cheat ability to enter another world. He gradually grows from weak to powerful, rising to legendary status, condensing divinity, igniting divine fire, weaving a divine core, obtaining a divine position, and ultimately creating the spellcaster class, "Summoner," through his cheat ability.

Highly recommended! If you like this type of content, please bookmark it.
