Wizard Immortal

Chapter 432 Betrayal

"here we go."

Standing atop the wide and majestic city wall, feeling the tremors of the surrounding earth, Adir glanced into the distance and spoke softly.

Outside the city walls, a black, demonic barrier had been erected. Within it, a large number of demonic beasts were charging forward madly, their bodies shrouded in the unique black aura of subterranean creatures, relentlessly rushing towards the city walls under the influence of the dark elves behind them.

However, in reality, the attacks of these demonic beasts were not a significant threat.

The massive city wall standing on the city's perimeter was the first obstacle. Given the chaotic way these demonic beasts moved, climbing the wall would be a huge problem, let alone causing any damage to the guards on it.

The sole purpose of these demonic beasts attacking the city was to deplete the power of the protective magic array and to pile up large amounts of debris or their own corpses at the foot of the city walls.

As time goes by, the debris piled up at the foot of the city walls will become thicker and thicker until it reaches the same height as the city walls. That's when the slave army will come out to fight.

This process lasted for a full two weeks.

Standing on the city wall, Adir watched helplessly as the dark elves attacked the city from outside, but he did not react at all.

This war may be difficult for others, and they may not even be sure that they can win, including King Cast and Kural.

But for Adir, the outcome of this war, barring any major surprises, was essentially predetermined from the start.

Kural alone is manageable, but Adir has now reached the limit of level three wizards. In terms of strength, he is unmatched and has no rivals at all.

This strength is the best guarantee. If we were to actively clash with the entire Dark Elf Kingdom, we might not be able to win, but if we only want to defend this city, there will be absolutely no problem.

Moreover, in addition to his own power, he also has the Moon King's Sword.

Although Adir never used the Moon King's Sword on his own initiative after the bloodline trial, the power of this magical weapon was something no one could ignore.

With his level three limit strength wielding this magical weapon, Adir could contend with even a true level four, let alone the people in front of him.

In fact, the reason he hasn't made a move yet is simply because he's waiting for the dark elves to make their move and reveal their plans.

"I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Standing on the city wall, Adir heard footsteps behind him, as well as faint, heavy breathing.

Behind Adir, a handsome elf in armor walked out from behind him, with a pale silver elven longsword hanging at his waist.

Behind this elf, several elves dressed in priestly robes followed him, among whom were several acquaintances of Adir.

"Your Highness Adir..." A soft voice sounded around them, sounding very gentle.

"Kurudo..." Adir turned around, looking at the handsome young man behind him, his expression momentarily complicated: "Why is it you?"

Standing in front of Adir, Kurudo remained silent for a moment, but finally spoke up: "I'm sorry, I have my reasons for doing this."

Kurudo is a very famous name in the Silvermist Forest, enjoying a very high reputation and status among the Silvermist Elves.

He was King Cast's eldest son and the most likely heir to the throne. However, due to his mother's low birth and King Cast's dislike of him, the right of succession ultimately fell to Edith.

Over the past few years, Adir had also associated with him and greatly admired his character and talent.

"Given your personality, even if you were stripped of your inheritance rights, you wouldn't have come to this."

Looking at Kurud, Adir spoke softly, "Is someone forcing you?"

"Stop talking." As if remembering something, Kurud's expression gradually turned cold: "Adir, surrender."

"I know your strength is far more than what it appears to be, but in your current state, how much power do you have left?"

"The water of the deep spring is not so pleasant to drink. Even if you are now close to becoming a level three wizard, you will still lose most of your power in a short period of time if you drink it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Adir's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze silently shifted to Kurudo's side.

Beside Kurudo, a girl dressed in green stood somewhat nervously. Facing Adir's gaze, she lowered her head silently.

That was Isis, and like Kurd, she was one of the few people Adir was close to in the Silver Mist Forest.

During her six months in Wind City, Isis diligently assisted Adir with various tasks, and over time, she gained Adir's trust, taking care of his daily life.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that not only Kurudo, but also Isis has long been turned by the other party, which is why she was able to secretly place the food laced with the drug in front of Adir.

Seeing Isis lower her head in shame, Adir shifted his gaze to the others beside Kurd.

Of the eight people, besides Kurd and Isis, there were several others whom Adir knew. He never expected to meet them in this way.

"Even though things have come to this point, I still want to ask."

With a soft sigh, Adir looked at Kurud before him and finally spoke, "What is your purpose in doing this?"

When asked, Khuruddo remained silent and did not give a direct answer.

It was Isis who spoke up: "The Dark Elf High Priest promised that if we surrender and send you away, he would spare the countless elven civilians behind the royal city..."

"Just for this?" Adir was stunned by the answer.

He had considered why Kuruo, Isis, and the others betrayed the Silver Mist Royal Court. Perhaps it was for power, or perhaps for strength, but the only reason he hadn't considered was this.

The act of voluntarily sacrificing a vital part of their forces for the safety of civilians on their own side gave Adir a strong sense of déjà vu.

"You don't understand!"

Seemingly sensing part of Adir's thoughts, Isis's face turned pale, her eyes filled with despair: "You don't understand just how terrifying the power of those subterranean creatures truly is."

"That's an absolutely terrifying power; with our strength, we simply can't stop it!"

"Because you couldn't hold them off, you chose to surrender?" A voice suddenly rang out from afar.

At that moment, Kuruto shuddered, his eyes widened, and he stared sharply in a distant direction.

In that direction, a middle-aged elf dressed in a silver robe, exuding a heavy sense of majesty, stood there, his magical aura enough to awe anyone.

He stood there, as majestic and steadfast as a high mountain, his eyes fixed on Kurudo, his face filled with disappointment.

"Father···"

Looking at this figure, he remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, his words filled with bitterness.

"You're still the same as before." Looking at Kuruo, King Cast directly rebuked, "Just as weak as your mother, lacking any courage or responsibility!"

"I..." Facing King Cast, Kurd was in pain. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

But by then, he had no time to say anything.

Because in front of them, a terrifying force had already pressed down, transforming into a giant silver hand in mid-air, which suddenly slammed down on them.

boom! !

The violent force erupted, smashing several craters into the city wall.

In an instant, Kurudo and the others coughed up blood as countless energy particles invaded their bodies, eroding their magical power and causing intense pain throughout their bodies.

"Fight back!"

The voice of King Cast came from in front of him. Standing beside Kurudo, he looked at his son lying on the ground with anger, his face full of fury: "You have the guts to betray, but you don't even have the guts to fight back!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a silver beam suddenly slammed down, hurtling towards Kurudo's mind.

"Your Highness!!" Upon seeing this, Isis exclaimed in surprise and instinctively wanted to go up and help, but the magic power in her body had been completely suppressed, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not cast a spell.

She watched as King Cast's hand fell, the silver light crashing down rapidly, carrying immense magical power.

This was a furious attack from King Cast, with no mercy whatsoever. He unleashed all his power, which was close to the limit of the second level. Not to mention the mere Kurudo, even a true second-level wizard would not be able to withstand it and would be killed instantly.

However, in the end, the blow did not land completely.

Because at the last moment, an arm suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed King Castor's hand just as the silver light was about to focus on Krudo.

Feeling the immense power emanating from his arm, and the almost terrifying aura of his bloodline, Castor's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously looked to the side.

Beside him, Adir stood quietly, his face calm, one arm gripping King Cast's wrist, blocking the attack at the crucial moment.

"Adir".

Looking at Adir beside him, King Cast sighed softly, glanced at the child lying on the ground, and finally let go.

In fact, he originally did not intend to kill Kurudo. After all, he was his own child. Even if he did not like Kurudo's personality, there were still feelings between them.

The reason I used such force just now was partly out of anger, and partly to show Adir what I was doing.

Now that his anger has subsided and Adir has taken the initiative to stop him, he has no reason to continue.

Edith is alright.

After glancing at Kurudo lying on the ground, King Cast said, "Your mother and clansmen are also safe and sound. They are currently hiding in the palace and have escaped unharmed."

"That's good." Adir nodded gently, a great weight lifted from his heart.

Looking at Castor, he was about to say something.

boom! !

In the distance, a violent tremor erupted, attracting Adir's attention.

In the distance of the city, a massive shadow began to emerge, accompanied by a chilling aura of terror.
