Wizard Immortal

Chapter 359 Backlash

The courtyard was quiet, with flames still burning all around.

Amidst the ruins, Adir clutched his chest, his consciousness engulfed by a deluge of information.

At this moment, clear images appeared in my mind.

Those were images of Angel and his companion, depicting parts of their growth and their deeds. Now, all of them were transformed into the clearest images, flooding into Adir's mind.

In the scene, Adir also saw the figures of Alina and Kradis.

Just like today's scene, in the picture, they are caught up by Angel and the wolf knight respectively, and confront each of them, fleeing in a sorry state.

The image flashed by, and then, in the next moment, another image appeared.

In the scene, Alina and Claudius are enveloped in powerful battle auras, standing confidently on a plain.

Beneath their feet, the corpses of Angell and the wolf rider lay scattered on the ground, trampled underfoot.

"No way!!"

The images in his mind ended there. Standing there, Adir felt a jolt in his heart, suddenly realizing that he seemed to have made a fatal mistake.

Although the displayed images are incomplete, it is clear from what Adir saw that Angor and the Wolf Knight were not simple people. Not only were they Radiant Knights, but they also clashed with Elina and Kradis, the two chosen ones, at a crucial moment, and eventually perished at their hands.

By the standards of the Fate Chaser, if Elina and Kradis can be considered the chosen ones of this era, then Angor and the Wolf Knight are undoubtedly the supporting characters, existing solely to highlight the protagonists.

"So, I not only killed two Radiant Knights, but also eliminated Alina and the others' future opponents ahead of time?" This thought flashed through Adir's mind, and he was dumbfounded, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

Eliminating the Chosen One's future rivals in advance is not as serious as eliminating the Chosen One directly, but it's definitely not much better.

Even minor characters in the story possess a great deal of world power and are thus subject to the attention of the world's consciousness.

To eliminate it before it has completed its mission is tantamount to prematurely ending part of the era's trend, and one will be directly impacted by the world power emanating from it.

The consequences of such an impact depend on the specific individuals involved.

If it's a supporting character or even a chosen one with the same fate, then naturally there's no problem. But if it's an ordinary person, then the outcome is not so good.

As for visitors from another world like Adir, their fate is even more worrisome.

Sure enough, the next moment, an impact that seemed to tear his soul apart came from the depths of his soul, and the pain made Adir's face contort in agony.

His body began to crack, and the wounds on his body were constantly burning hot, as if scorching flames were burning on them, constantly burning his life force.

"The Poison of the World!!"

The thought flashed through Adir's mind, and then he ran out without hesitation, fleeing into the vast mountain cliffs.

The horrific pain continued unabated, and instead of diminishing with time, it intensified, making Adir wish he could just faint.

His body split open automatically, and blood was flowing continuously from the wound, with specks of silver blood dripping down the road.

Sensing all this, Adir dared not delay any longer and immediately activated the life seed within his body, running towards the distance.

At this point, he still maintained a certain level of rationality, and instead of heading towards other towns, he went directly into the remote mountains to minimize the potential backlash.

Based on the experience gained from the world of destiny, in this world, the closer you go to a populated area, the more likely you are to cause various accidents. Not only will the backlash from the world's poison increase, but it is also likely to cause all sorts of unexpected events and bring about various disasters.

In fact, even without heading towards crowded places, Adir encountered several accidents just in these deep mountains and forests.

Various inexplicably enormous beasts, rarely seen magical creatures, and some highly venomous snakes and insects... These things, which are usually difficult to encounter even if actively searched for, suddenly appeared one after another as if by prior arrangement.

Adir doesn't even dare to touch these things now, fearing that killing them will cause a more serious backlash. He can only dodge them one by one with the help of the chip and run deeper into the area.

The awkward situation was only relieved when they ran into a cave.

However, at this point, the terrifying tearing sensation deep within Adir's soul intensified, almost causing Adir to lose his ability to think.

"Damn it!!"

He hissed in a low voice, and before he lost his senses, he subconsciously tried to use his teleportation ability to send himself away.

A burning sensation rose from the depths of his soul. In a space of his soul, a core flickered faintly for a moment before quickly dimming.

"Unable to teleport?" Adir's face darkened as he sensed the message from the depths of his soul.

The power of the world is impacting the very source of his soul, and his time-traveling ability cannot be activated until this impact ends.

At this point, Adir gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain emanating from all parts of his body, and inscribed some runes around him.

After doing all that, not long after, everything went black and he collapsed.

"All three auras have vanished..."

Sensing something amiss in the distance, Lilith's expression turned grim.

"Adir!"

Sensing the distant aura vanish, Alina's face paled, and in an instant, she realized a certain outcome.

"Teacher..." Beside him, Claudius's face was filled with grief, his arm holding the sword trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with sorrow and anger.

The current situation is already quite obvious.

Although we don't know exactly what happened, the simultaneous disappearance of the auras of the three Radiant Knights clearly indicates that it wasn't a sudden peace talk, but rather a life-or-death struggle.

The life-or-death decision means someone has lost, and Adir, fighting two against one, is now likely in grave danger.

"Keep going."

Alina silently stood up, paused for a moment, and then spoke again: "If it's really as we imagine, then Angel and the others will likely catch up soon, and we don't have much time left."

Cladis glanced at her coldly from the side, but ultimately said nothing and continued to flee into the distance.

They headed south, purposefully making their way towards the city of Catutan.

Soon, several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of the next few days, the events of that night were gradually revealed.

Although there were no eyewitnesses to the battle that night, the scene shocked many knights in the vicinity, so the next day someone rushed to the scene and quickly reconstructed what happened.

The traces of the Radiant Knights' battle did not disappear so quickly. On the battlefield at that time, the fighting spirit of Adir and his two companions still stubbornly lingered, causing a significant impact on that place.

After careful exploration by the nearby lords, the owners of the three battle auras were quickly identified. Two of them belonged to the guardian knights of the Turing Cult, while the last one was Adir, the chief knight of Princess Elina, known as the Swift Knight.

On the battlefield, one could even see shattered flesh and corpses belonging to the three Radiant Knights of that night.

Soon, the events of that night were quickly reconstructed.

The seventh princess of the Maran Empire was assassinated. In order to allow his lord to escape, the Swift Knight Adir fought to the death with two Radiant Knights from the Turing Cult. In the end, he killed both Radiant Knights with his own strength.

This is the result of a joint reconstruction by several titled knights, who painstakingly reconstructed the battle scene from the perception of battle aura.

The simultaneous fall of three Radiant Knights was undoubtedly major news, shocking countless people and causing the news to spread rapidly to all corners of the world.

····················

Several months later.

On a barren land, two slender figures were digging with a shovel-like tool.

These are a boy and a girl, both around fifteen or sixteen years old. They look somewhat alike and appear to be siblings.

They shared a shovel, and when one got tired, the other would take over, digging continuously until they created a large, deep pit.

"Alright, that should be about right."

The digging process lasted a long time. After a while, the boy put down his shovel and said to the little girl beside him, "Okay, Qianmi, drag that person over here."

"Okay." In front of the boy was a girl named Qianmi who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her appearance was just average, her skin was dark, and her hands and feet looked very nimble.

She quickly walked to the side, struggled to pull over a long white cloth, and then stood there panting, looking quite exhausted.

A boy walked over, pulled open the long white cloth, revealing what was inside.

It was a very handsome young man with pure silver hair. He was lying there quietly, his clothes torn and stained with dried blood.

He looked as if he were asleep, just lying there quietly, yet he possessed a unique charm that was unforgettable.

"Tsk tsk, what a handsome knight."

Looking at the boy lying at his feet, the boy clicked his tongue in amazement: "If he were still alive, he could probably make a living for the rest of his life just by looking at that face. Unlike me, who works as a cemetery caretaker."

"Brother Mengla..." From the side, Ximi tugged at his sleeve and called out to him with some dissatisfaction.

"I know, I know." Monra waved his hand, somewhat helplessly: "It's a pity that this person is already dead, otherwise I would have let you marry him directly, saving those fat pig-like rich women from getting a good deal."

Before his sister could even complain, he jumped into the pit he had dug earlier, ready to drag the body down.

P.S.: Shamelessly recommending a book, "Rebooting the World," Li Siyang's new book. The premise is very interesting, and I recommend everyone check it out.
