Wizard Immortal

Chapter 379 Monster

Thick black energy flickered, and a series of low hissing sounds rang out, accompanied by the faint sobs of a woman.

But the moment Adir opened the door, all of that vanished, leaving only the dilapidated old house, seemingly unchanged.

Looking at the scene before him, Adir frowned, his eyes fixed on the statue on the wooden table.

"This statue didn't seem to look like this at noon."

He looked at the female statue on the wooden table with a cold gaze.

On the wooden table, the black iron statue was still there, but it had changed slightly since Adir left at noon.

Compared to the statue as a whole, this change is very subtle, and to the average person, it is not noticeable at all; it looks no different from before.

However, in Adir's eyes, this subtle change was quite noticeable and could not be hidden from him at all.

"This woman's appearance has changed a little."

He walked up gently, looked at the statue on the wooden table, and without the slightest fear, Adir reached out and picked it up.

A chill ran through his palm, accompanied by a deeply hidden malice that gave Adir a familiar feeling.

Adir had felt this malice before, first in this body, and then in this body's father; he had experienced something similar in both cases.

However, compared to the aura emanating from the statue, the lingering malice on the two individuals was merely superficial.

"The original owner of this body died because he had come into contact with this statue before he died."

Looking at the statue in his hand, Adir frowned: "What exactly is this?"

Despite having various thoughts running through his mind, Adir did not hesitate at all when faced with the statue. He immediately focused his mind and used his powerful spiritual energy to forcefully condense a bit of magic power to carve a simple seal on the statue.

Given the current predicament, this seal cannot completely seal the statue; it can only temporarily suppress it. Once the magic power on it is exhausted, the seal will become ineffective.

Having done all this, Adir put down the statue in his hand and was about to go out.

A creaking sound came from outside, accompanied by light footsteps.

Adir looked out the door and saw a young girl walking in.

The girl looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old. She wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she was still pretty. She was holding a package in her hand and looked somewhat tired.

She was wearing a long gray dress, and when she saw Adir, her eyes lit up with surprise, and a smile appeared on her tired face: "Sim, you're feeling better?"

"I'm almost fully recovered." Seeing the girl before him, Adir was somewhat surprised: "Why are you back so late?"

"I tutored a classmate, which took a while." Tilly looked tired as she looked at Adir, placed the package she was carrying on the table, and then opened it to reveal its contents.

They were clean little breads, with some meat inside, and they seemed to be dipped in honey.

"This is for you."

Looking at Adir, Tilly's expression softened, and she patted Adir's head: "Eat quickly, and get some rest after you finish eating. You have class tomorrow."

"Okay." Looking at Tilly, Adir didn't show anything unusual. He just nodded quietly, then picked up the few small breads and went into the room next door.

Watching his figure disappear from sight, Tilly got up, forced herself to endure her exhaustion, and went into the simple kitchen to start preparing dinner for herself and the others.

After a while, after a busy day, Coral returned home, still wearing that simple gray uniform.

His face was cold and stern, and he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay. When he entered the room, he frowned as he looked at Tilly, who was busy in the kitchen, but in the end he just sighed.

The technology in this world is quite good; televisions and such have already been invented, but they are expensive, and Sim's family cannot afford them.

After a long day of work, everyone was exhausted, so they went to bed soon after dinner without any further entertainment.

at night.

As night fell, most of the streetlights that were originally lit were turned off, leaving only one or two lights still on, barely illuminating the entire road.

The surroundings were quiet, as if all the residents were fast asleep and not making a sound.

However, in this tranquil and peaceful environment, something unusual began to appear, and it continued to grow over time.

Huff... Huff...

Heavy breathing echoed in the same spot.

On the road in the distance, a huge humanoid monster appeared out of nowhere, holding a broken large sword in its hand.

It was naked, its skin was pale and bloodless, and its face was stiff and terrifying, as frightening as a rotting corpse.

Despite this, its eyes were bright and filled with a mysterious gleam. It was standing by the roadside, walking towards a house.

Despite its enormous size, standing three or four meters tall, it made no sound as it walked, only a black aura continuously dissipating and spreading in all directions.

Not long after, it arrived at an old house, but then hesitated and stopped.

Because at that moment, a gaze also emanated from within that old, dilapidated house.

They were pure black eyes, but now a silver light was gathering within them as they stared at the monster.

Although it was just a line of sight, it seemed to contain immense power, causing the monster in the distance to hesitate and stand outside the house door for a long time.

This stalemate lasted for a very long time before it finally came to an end.

Standing in front of the house, driven away by some force, the monster's figure gradually blurred and eventually disappeared.

"trouble···"

Standing on the balcony, watching the monster's figure gradually fade into the distance, Adir finally raised his head, his expression grim: "It's not a spirit, nor an illusion, so what is it?"

Although he appeared relaxed, in reality, during that eye contact, Adir had used all the power he could muster.

If that monster hadn't been subdued and had recklessly charged in, Adir might not have been able to stop it with his current strength.

After all, he is currently at his weakest. Although his powerful mental strength still exists, without sufficient magical power to support it, he is at a great disadvantage when fighting against others using only his mental strength, which greatly weakens his power.

"We must restore our strength as soon as possible."

Sensing the lingering presence around him, Adir turned and went back to his room.
