Wizard Immortal

Chapter 727 The Promise of the Past

Adir had no idea how long he had been in the abyss.

In that vast black forest, he continued to kill and gradually transformed.

By the time he regained his composure from the carnage, he had become a completely different person.

At this moment, he stood quietly on a flat ground, two meters tall, and had completely transformed into a human form, though his entire body was covered with many scales, making him look extremely majestic and powerful.

In addition, his face did not have the typical facial features of a normal person, but rather it was covered by a mask, which looked very unique and exuded a cold aura.

Standing still, he turned around and looked around.

Before him lay a vast expanse of land, now stained with blood and piled high with all sorts of demonic flesh, creating a gruesome scene.

If the number of corpses were to be counted, it would probably be no less than several hundred.

These are all the results that Adir has achieved during this period.

It was precisely because of this frenzied killing that he was able to rapidly transform and reach an even more powerful level.

At this moment, compared to when he first emerged from the Abyss Sea, his strength has greatly increased.

It has surpassed the second tier and reached the third tier.

However, at this point, no more demons are approaching.

Those demons aren't fools.

The carnage here is so horrific, yet Adir is the only one present, clearly waiting for other demons to come to him.

Demons are also living beings, and in some ways, they are even more aware of danger than ordinary beings. Now that they sense the danger of this place, they will not even try to continue walking towards it.

So if they want to continue this crazy killing spree, they'll have to find another place and go fishing.

However, at this level, no matter how much killing he does, it won't help Adir improve his strength much.

He has reached the third level.

In this black forest, the strongest demon is probably only around level two, far inferior to him.

To continue rapidly increasing their strength, they need to move to a different location and seek out even more powerful demons to begin their slaughter.

Of course, there are other options for Adir.

Before my eyes, as tiny purple flames began to burn, the sea of ​​demonic corpses gradually melted away, stripping away the impurities of flesh and blood, leaving only a trace of pure flesh and blood essence.

That was the bloodline essence originating from the demon, which was now being melted by the world's fire ignited by Adir, transforming into a tiny bit of the purest essence that flowed towards Adir.

The Bloodline Codex was activated in an instant. At that moment, countless bloodlines around him were drawn by the Bloodline Codex and rushed towards Adir, where they were instantly devoured by him.

Strictly speaking, the bloodline origins of these demons are not inherently powerful.

After all, most of the demons in front of him were not very powerful in life, each of them at most equivalent to a second-tier wizard, far inferior to him.

Of course, even so, these bloodline origins are of great supplementary effect to Adir himself, allowing him to undergo the next transformation according to his own will.

After absorbing so much bloodline essence in the blink of an eye, Adir's aura began to slowly increase, quickly rising from the initial stage to the advanced stage of the third rank.

After doing all this, Adir turned around, looked at the vast expanse of black forest in front of him, and continued walking forward.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will continue to walk this road for a long time to come.

However, with the bloodline secrets and the nourishment of the abyss power, Adir's strength will soon be able to improve and return to its original level through fighting to sustain itself.

While Adir's clone was struggling in the abyss, another clone of Adir in the material world also sensed something amiss.

In a vast and magnificent manor, Adir quietly raised his head.

As the carnage unfolded in the abyss, he seemed to sense something and raised his head. His gaze pierced through the layers of barriers, as if he could see the vast and boundless abyss. A look of understanding appeared on his face.

"Has it started...?"

He understood immediately, realizing everything in an instant.

As clones derived from Adir's original body, these clones also share a connection, allowing them to communicate and interact with each other.

Although they cannot communicate in real time due to the distance between them, they can still get a general sense of what is happening on each other's side.

At this moment, he could clearly sense that on the other side of the abyss, his other clone was living there, and his aura was slowly rising, so he seemed to be safe.

"I need to pick up the pace too..."

He silently turned around, gazing at the scene in the distance, and this thought flashed through his mind.

…………

Time passed slowly.

Before we knew it, several more months had passed.

On the borderlands of the Adir Empire, a strange visitor arrived from the south.

"Has it completely changed...?"

Walking quietly through the unfamiliar city, looking at the surrounding scenery, Hilna was somewhat surprised.

Having traveled for months from the Kingdom of Tamru to reach this place, she had expected to find a desolate landscape.

When she actually arrived at the place, she was somewhat surprised to find that the scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined.

Before her lay a magnificent and spacious city, its surroundings impeccably clean.

The buildings on the street in front of us are all neatly arranged, giving a very orderly and clean feeling.

It's completely different from the messy and chaotic architecture found in other cities.

There was none of the trash that is common in other cities on the streets; they were spotless and very clean.

Along the streets, Hilna also saw wooden barrels filled with a lot of messy garbage, and people were busy working on them, seemingly doing... garbage sorting?

Waste sorting?

Hilna shook her head, looking at the group of people busily working in the distance with a hint of confusion.

Overall, the city in front of her felt completely different from what she had imagined. It didn't resemble a city standing in the desert at all, but rather a legendary wizarding capital.

It even looks neater than that.

Even in the legendary wizarding capital, Hilna could still occasionally spot beggars and thieves.

But in this city, at least so far she hasn't seen a single beggar.

This shows that the city has done a very good job in related work.

The absence of beggars reflects both the city's standard of living and its security situation.

Having realized this, Hilna gradually became interested in everything before her.

She knew perfectly well that this was not the central region of the Adir Empire, but merely a border city.

If such a scene exists in just one border city, what must it be like in the more prosperous cities in the central region of the Adir Empire?

Hilna is very much looking forward to it.

After meeting the officials in charge of receiving them and arriving at the place where they were entertained, they continued their journey towards their destination after a while.

They came here not just for sightseeing, but with a mission.

Hilna carries the task entrusted to her by the Dark Church.

Besides observing the situation of the Adir Empire and understanding its strength, she also needed to meet Adir in person and explain to him the matters entrusted to her by the Dark Church.

Before long, she reached the center of the empire and saw Adir there.

…………

"It has been decades since we last met..."

In a quiet courtyard, Adir quietly poured himself a cup of tea, looked at Hilna who had come to visit, and began to speak.

"Yes, it's been forty or fifty years already..."

Looking at Adir before her, Hilna spoke softly, then gazed at Adir with deep, melancholy eyes.

"If I don't come to you, you won't come to me, right?"

She gazed at Adir before her and spoke softly.

"The situation in the South is far too complicated..."

Adir shook his head.

"You know that..."

He looked at Hilna, who was sitting quietly in front of him, poured her a cup of tea, and then continued speaking.

"Many churches in the South, the Church of Darkness, the Lord of the Night Watch, the Lord of Darkness... and so on, are all mixed together among them..."

"It's better if I don't set off. If I do set off and other churches find out, the situation will only become more complicated."

He looked at Hilna in front of him and said this.

Upon hearing this, Hilna didn't continue speaking, but simply sighed softly and nodded, indicating her agreement with Adir's statement.

"In comparison, as a priest of the Dark Church, you have far more freedom of movement than I do..."

Adir's voice continued to echo from the same spot.

"However, you haven't come here for the past few decades. What brings you here so suddenly this time?"

"I knew it, I couldn't hide it from you..."

Standing there, gazing at Adir before her, Hilna sighed, her expression slowly returning to calm.

"The High Priest sent me to ask you..."

She gazed at Adir before her, her eyes fixed on him.

"I wonder if the promises made back then still stand?"

She looked at Adir in front of her and asked seriously.

Adir froze for a moment before reacting.

"Has it already come to this?"

He raised his head, looked at Hilna in front of him, and slowly began to speak.

When he left the Southern Kingdom and ventured into the desolate lands to explore on his own, he made a promise to the Dark Church.

He had promised that when the Lord of Darkness began to rise again, he would assist the Church of Darkness in welcoming the Lord of Darkness's return.

Now, decades later, the Dark Church has finally sent someone to demand that he fulfill his original promise.

Adir understood the deeper meaning behind this matter very well.

This marks the official start of the Age of Gods.

With the official return of the Lord of Darkness, the other gods will eventually return one by one. In the end, the silent gods will be revived and walk among the earth.
