Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1048 The Sword of Shadows

"An enemy of wizards?"

Beneath the surface of truth, Green murmured in confusion, "Isn't the enemy of wizards the Metal Destroyer civilization?"

The guide spirit king was obviously not referring to the Metal Destroyer civilization, so could it be some other unknown enemy? Surely it couldn't be the Abyss civilization!

Amidst the confusion, Grimm's three-colored eyes beneath the Mask of Truth suddenly darted towards another distant direction. Another evil god was gradually approaching from afar. It was unknown who it was. Amidst the vigilance of the guiding elf king and his numerous guard elves, the bone spike giant that Grimm had transformed into vanished in a puff of black smoke, leaving only the moon in place.

"Here's the little guy back. Please convey my apologies to the owner of this summoning compass."

……

After a few hourglasses.

"Hmph, it's you?"

When Tebise arrived at the camp and found it was Grin, his voice was somewhat cold. Fortunately, due to the alien invasion, the two did not immediately confront each other as they had in the Evil God Paradise.

"What business does the King of Fighters have with his army here? If you're looking for the Spirit King, he's just ahead."

Green smiled coldly, pointing at Tu Tu Youhe as he spoke, his voice tinged with sarcasm.

"You don't want it?"

Outside the tent, two large groups of pig-like creatures met, creating chaos all over the mountains and fields. Both were at the peak of their excitement in launching a massive invasion and plunder. Inside the tent, however, Tebiz, the King of Fighters, frowned slightly under his hat, clearly suspicious of Green's actions.

"Waaaaah, my Lord Ainz Ooal Gown eats meat and doesn't like these grasses and flowers."

Little Eight perched on Green's shoulder, chuckling. Although he didn't know what methods the Wizarding World had used in the Evil God Paradise to gain a foothold here, he figured these evil gods were probably doomed.

These evil gods who have been invading for years probably never imagined that such a mishap would happen behind the Evil God Paradise.

"Hmph, Thunder Bone Emperor, do you think we're just engaging in a meaningless invasion to satisfy our plundering desires? You haven't experienced the gifts of the Evil God's Paradise World yet. Once this invasion is over, you'll understand why the Pigbey World is called the Evil God's Paradise."

With that, Tebise turned and walked out of the tent, his voice low and melancholy.

"The Gate of the Full Moon is nearing its end. Even the Thunder Bone Emperor is wary of the Guide Elf King. Hopefully, other evil gods will arrive here. The three world lords, along with some unknown beings, have set up some schemes. This world is much stronger than the one that invaded last time. A month and a half is still too short."

As Tebise Kento left, Grimm's tri-colored eyes narrowed. A gift from the world!?

Could it be that, besides the reason why Pigpie is able to gather so many wandering evil gods, this world also possesses some special rules?

……

With the advancement to level five holy marks, Grimm's magic power easily supported the simultaneous appearance of four avatars of the Source of Annihilation.

Each clone possesses the physical strength of Grin's body. With Grin's current physique after unlocking the fifth level of Wild Instinct, these clones are even capable of surpassing some of the weakest world lords.

Now, the four clones have been dispatched by Grimm to various corners of the Other Shore Flower World, searching for any trace of the Yellow Springs Elf King.

One of the clones had long ago secretly followed in the footsteps of the Calamity Gods, embarking on a journey to find the Elf King of the Other Shore, hoping to find some trace of him.

Suddenly, the skeletal giant that had been following the remaining ruins of the Pig-Bug at a leisurely pace stopped.

"What, is the God of Calamity afraid that this clone of mine will steal our resources?"

In the shadows, a shadow blade silently pierced the chest of the Origin of Annihilation clone. The Origin of Annihilation's eyes widened in disbelief, as if the moment the shadow blade was pulled out would mark its death.

"Why is your true form paying so much attention to me?"

The sound was ethereal and indistinct, making it impossible to distinguish anything. Green, the Origin of Annihilation clone, clutched the tip of the Shadow Blade protruding from his chest, his bony fingers trembling.

"Because... we come from the same world. I never expected that your hidden strength could deceive my Face of Truth. It's so powerful."

The Shadow Blade paralyzed Green's body, making every breath incredibly painful. He sensed no presence behind him and was unable to turn around to investigate.

A moment of oppressive silence fell. This powerful Abyss Mark Knight had clearly not expected this, and was equally unable to accept it.

"Where are you from, and why did you come to the Evil God's Paradise?"

The Sword of Shadows asked tentatively.

"The Tower of Annihilation of the Second Ring Holy Tower was previously on a mission to transport supplies to the Ancient Dragon Great World in the Netherfire World. A metal Destroyer Overlord attacked the Netherfire World, killing a number of the garrisoned wizards and causing others to escape. I accidentally came to the Evil God Paradise from a randomly connected group of world fragments. Now, I should be unable to return to that path."

After Green's clone of the Source of Annihilation responded, the shadow blade on his chest disappeared, and when he looked down, there was no wound on his chest at all!

Looking up, directly in front of him stood an armored knight who was only about 1.7 meters tall. He still appeared to be at level 5, but the feeling that Green had just had just experienced was definitely more than that.

How many creatures have you killed in this world?

The mysterious and powerful knight asked this question as soon as he appeared.

"Not many, maybe a few thousand."

These were all creatures from the Other Shore Flower World that Green unintentionally killed. Because Green's true form was too powerful, even occasionally using his power would cause widespread casualties, which was unavoidable.

"Remember, you must refuse the gifts from the Evil God's Paradise, otherwise you will be lost in the power that is easier to obtain, changing the origin of the wizarding world and gradually merging with the Evil God's Paradise. Once the Gate of the Full Moon closes, you will be unable to escape that world, thus becoming a claw of the Evil God's Paradise's will to constantly plunder the surrounding world and maintain its own continuation."

Changing the very essence of life!?

Green's tri-colored pupils shrank suddenly. It turned out that these evil gods had long since merged with the Evil God Paradise and become its masters, rather than wandering evil gods.

Every time the Evil God's Paradise opens the Gate of the Full Moon, it consumes a large amount of the World Heart's essence. This loss far exceeds the damage to the Wizarding World Heart. However, the Gate of the Full Moon in the Evil God's Paradise has also given rise to special rules, which can enhance itself by plundering other worlds, while giving back a portion to the plunderers.

Green's Origin of Annihilation clone nodded silently.

"After the war, I want to meet the King of the Underworld Spirits of this world."

"Go find the Great Wizard of the Soul-Scattering Grass and he will make the arrangements for you."

The knight had already turned around and was gradually walking away, as if this was just an interaction that had never happened.

What's the deal with "The Wizard's Enemy in Evil God's Paradise"?

Grimm's avatar, the source of annihilation, couldn't help but ask the question that had been nagging at him: why did the wizard legion, which was originally prepared to descend upon the world of the other shore flower, give up and instead use some method to lead this enemy of the wizards to the Paradise of Evil Gods?

"This time, the Seventh Ring Holy Tower suddenly changed its plans. Only the Seventh Ring True Spirit Wizard knows the specifics. It seems to be a powerful world called the Purgatory Giants."

The second update will be later, before midnight.
