Wizard Immortal

Chapter 353 One Year

In the desolate wilderness, an unusual scene is unfolding.

In a forest, a black lizard covered in scales is running quickly outwards.

This lizard looked very strange. Not only was it completely black, but in the areas on its back that were not covered by scales, there was a lot of rotting flesh and blood, with many tiny black worms crawling around on it, causing the flesh and blood to churn.

Around the black lizard were many similar creatures, mostly gigantic insects, and a few other creatures as well.

boom! !

A soft sound came from afar, bringing with it a flash of silver light that scattered around, causing the surrounding creatures to scatter in even greater fear.

At the end of a road, looking at the three-meter-tall monster corpse before him, Adir sheathed his sword and silently turned to look in the other direction.

At his feet lay many similar monster corpses, including common animals and many insects that had grown to enormous sizes.

Without exception, these creatures underwent a mutation; their originally normal structures were stimulated by something, and suddenly became enormous and terrifying.

"Lord Adier!"

A group of knights rode quickly towards them from a distance, and the leader was calling out Adir's name.

"Is everything cleaned up?"

Looking at the knight before him, Adir turned around and spoke expressionlessly.

"It's all cleaned up." The knight before him looked at Adir with reverence and stood there earnestly to report, "Lord Anum has also come in person."

"He's here too." Adir was somewhat surprised. "Lead the way."

Before he could even move, a familiar figure quickly approached from a distance.

That was Anum, riding a white horse and wearing red leather armor. He looked somewhat tired.

"Adir, have you resolved things here?"

Upon seeing Adir, Anum managed a weak smile and looked at him, asking a question.

"Not bad." Adir nodded, sheathing his sword. "The corrupted beasts here aren't too strong. The strongest one is this one in front of us, which is close to the strength of a Sky Knight."

He pointed to the corpse, which was more than three meters tall, at his feet and began to speak.

"What a coincidence, I had the same problem over there." Anum smiled wryly. "But I didn't have it as easy as you. It took me a lot of effort to take down that monster."

"It's good that nothing happened," Adir said casually, then mounted his horse and rode to the side.

Nearly a year had passed since Adir was promoted to Radiant Knight.

Over the course of a year, many things began to change.

The most obvious thing is the surrounding environment.

Six months ago, large numbers of polluting beasts began to appear in various places, constantly impacting towns and cities.

These polluting beasts are not particularly strong individually, but they possess a unique polluting ability that can assimilate many originally normal individuals, turning them into polluting beasts of the same nature.

After being contaminated, some ordinary beasts become even stronger, and some already extremely powerful beasts become comparable to knights after being contaminated.

If they were just ordinary wild beasts transformed into polluted beasts, then it would be alright. Although their massive numbers would certainly cause serious damage, they would eventually be eradicated.

The real danger lies in those powerful corrupted beasts that were originally magical beasts that have transformed into their current forms.

These corrupted beasts are the core of this disaster and the main force posing a powerful threat to various kingdoms and lords.

A wild beast that was originally just an ordinary individual, no matter how much it is strengthened, will not be strengthened much. But a terrifying magical beast that was originally comparable to a knight, or even a Sky Knight, will reach a terrifying level of power once it is corrupted.

For example, the monster that Adir killed before was originally just a magical beast at the level of a Great Knight. Although it was not weak, it was not too terrifying.

However, after being contaminated, the beast's strength suddenly became terrifying, transforming directly from its original Great Knight level to a level close to that of a Sky Knight.

This terrifying rate of improvement left not only others speechless, but even the wizard Adir was somewhat dumbfounded and unable to comprehend it.

"What is the true nature of the 'seed of pollution'?"

As Adir rode his horse along the road, he couldn't help but think to himself.

For a whole year, he did not let go of his relationship with the Turing Cult. Although he did not go to the headquarters to take up his post because he had to stay by Alina's side, he did not break off his contact with the Beast Knight Rida.

Through his connection with the other party, he obtained a lot of exclusive information, including information about the Seed of Corruption.

This thing is the source of the large number of polluted beasts, but Adir has no way of finding out what it is. He can only speculate about it by studying some of the polluted beasts.

"Is it the crystallization of the power of some higher life form, or a unique substance born from this world itself?"

As he walked along the road, Adir was still pondering this question before finally looking at his attribute panel.

「姓名:阿帝尔.法库斯。力量：64.3。敏捷：67.1。体质：70.5。精神：77.1。血肉纯化度：37.1%。生命纯化度：36.4%。界能：572.8。血脉：月精灵（幼年）。

The familiar attribute panel reappeared before my eyes, and it looked significantly improved compared to a year ago.

Especially in the category of "boundary energy," the quantity has increased several times over.

This is the result of Adir's hard work over the past year. After all, once he knew who the Chosen One was, the growth rate of the realm's energy undoubtedly increased significantly.

Especially after the outbreak of the contaminated beasts, the growth rate of the boundary energy accelerated even more rapidly, which surprised Adir.

After traveling for a while, and as dusk settled outside, Adir and Anum stopped and led their men to an open space to rest.

As night fell and everyone else went to sleep, Adir, carrying his sword, came out alone and stood in front of the makeshift tent, looking at the silver moon in the sky.

Perhaps due to the moon elf bloodline within him, when moonlight shines on Adir, the moon elf power within him becomes increasingly active, bringing him to his peak condition.

Feeling this unique sensation and gazing at the bright moon in the sky, Adir stood up and took out a letter from his pocket.

The envelope of the letter was purple and looked very beautiful, with a triangular symbol embroidered on it, representing the Turing Church.

This is a letter that Adir just received today, from the headquarters of the Turing Church, which often contains the latest orders issued by the Turing Church.

Adir skillfully opened the letter, but upon reading its contents, he was stunned.

"The assassination of Princess Elina of the Maran Empire and Prince Kradis of the Guno Empire..."
