Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1065 The Disaster of the Spirits

A chaotic world community, a world of spirits.

"Hmph, what a weak world. Apart from that sealing technique, there isn't even a world ruler or guardian. They're all just little things that only know how to run away."

Thick black smoke billowed from each of its bone spikes. This monster, over a hundred meters tall, walked across the Spirit Continent, leaving deep footprints on the ground with every step. The life essence of the nearby plants was eroded by the black smoke, turning into dregs and withered wood, aging and dying.

It had four arms, each holding a bone club from an unknown creature, and seven heads on its chest, with black smoke constantly billowing from its mouth and nostrils—it was terrifying.

Around this Lord of the World, tens of thousands of bone mosquitoes flew in dense swarms, emitting a buzzing vibration. They moved at great speed, frequently grabbing spirit beings from all directions and throwing them into the mouths of the seven heads on the chest of this terrifying Lord of the World.

No wonder. Since the start of the Civilization War in the Wizarding World, a large number of wizards have been drawn into the front-line legions. Even some wizards who have completed resource mining tasks are in the Parasitic Spore World, so they don't stay in this transit world for long.

Saladin's attempt to defend against the invasion of the two world rulers using the power of the world itself was far too difficult.

"what……"

The spirit's terrified screams, accompanied by the crunching sounds of bones being chewed, absorbed the negative emotions within them, much to the satisfaction of the evil spirit.

Unlike ordinary world rulers, it does not devour the flesh and blood of its prey; the flesh and blood it swallows are quickly excreted.

hum...

In the distance, a ghost spider over thirty meters long flew over, its body covered with dense ghost face patterns, its furry body, and its pair of dark eyes with twelve pairs of compound eyes that gleamed with an eerie light.

"After we completely conquer this world, we can enjoy it slowly. We can't be truly at peace until we get rid of those sealers."

Onigumo was furious to see that while he had gone to great lengths to hunt down those sealers, Tick Evil was enjoying the spirits of this world.

"They're just low-level little things. They can only cause trouble before we fully arrive. Now that we've led our army to fully descend upon this world, we can eat as many of those little things as they come. Instead of going to great lengths to capture them, we should go find the cities where these spirits gather."

Tick ​​Evil sneered inwardly. The sealers had been dealing with this very ghost spider earlier, no wonder it was so furious now.

……

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

The urgent alarm sounded throughout Lingdu. People carrying briefcases screamed and ran into the underground cave. The entrance to the underground cave was crowded with men and women, pushing and shoving each other.

The streets were completely blocked by psionic vehicles, shops were closed, and papers were flying everywhere, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse inscribed on an ancient stone tablet.

Although the world secretly harbors wizards who possess advanced psychic technology, their numbers are extremely small, and they are hidden at the very top of society, inaccessible to ordinary psychics. Under the brainwashing and cultivation of these psychic rulers through textbooks, generation after generation, psychic technology has once again entered its golden age, and people have unwavering faith in the truth that psychic energy can change the world.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Psionic fighter jets with rapidly rotating helical angles on their wings swept low over the city, dozens of them lined up in a row, and a few moments later, the distant edge of the city was filled with the sounds of explosions.

hum, hum, hum...

"Ah! What is that? A monster, a monster..."

Suddenly, several bone mosquitoes with wingspans of several meters appeared on the upper floors of the building. They had the same speed as psionic fighter jets, but were more agile. Their ferocious appearance, which they had evolved to adapt to their environment and survive, made the psionic people, who had long lived in a greenhouse of peace, scream and almost boil over.

This is a terrifying monster that you'd only see in R-rated animated television shows, and now it's actually living in this world!

boom!

A psionic fighter jet crashed to the ground, shaken by bone mosquitoes, landing squarely on the hundred-story building that once symbolized the prosperity and flourishing of the spiritual capital. Amidst billowing smoke, a raging fire broke out.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, maintain order!"

With a series of "crackling" sounds, a dozen or so psionic figures dressed in heavy metal armor, each wielding a psionic technology gun, stood in a row behind the crowd frantically scrambling into the air-raid shelter. They used psionic guns designed to fight wild beasts to attack the incredibly fast monsters in the air.

As the bone mosquitoes nimbly dodged the beams of psionic energy, a mech warrior screamed as he was grabbed by a bone mosquito, lifted high into the air, and thrown down. With a loud "boom," the metal mech shattered into pieces, and the psionic being inside was clearly beyond saving.

"what……"

The surrounding spirits were even more terrified. The captains of these mech squads gritted their teeth, waved their hands to signal a counterattack while retreating.

……

The Psionic Technology Exploration Research Institute is located in one of the twelve capital cities of the Psionic World, with one institute in each of the twelve capital cities. It is a pioneer in exploring the mysteries of psionic technology.

At this moment, the scientists of the Spirit People in this Spirit City, escorted by a large number of troops, were secretly retreating in anti-gravity speedboats. These frail-looking guys are a huge treasure of this world!

"Alert! Monster ahead!"

As the emergency alarm sounded, a large number of soldiers escorting the convoy rushed forward. More than twenty bone mosquitoes appeared a few hundred meters ahead and, having already spotted the area, charged towards them.

"team leader?"

A high-ranking academician looked at the man in charge of the convoy's security. Unlike ordinary soldiers, this captain never carried any psionic weapons, yet his soldiers treated him with the utmost respect and obedience, as if he were a god.

At this moment, the man, who had been silent all along, glanced ahead and said in a low voice, "Don't worry."

As he spoke, his body suddenly turned into a spark with a "poof" and vanished from the spot. This startled several academicians, who then immediately remembered something and murmured, "A... wizard?"

……

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

The air-raid shelter above them was shaking and dust was falling from it. The spirits hiding inside were trembling and no one dared to speak. Some spirits who were afraid and couldn't help but cry were quickly covered by their companions to prevent them from making a sound. Tens of thousands of people were crowded together in the small space.

What exactly happened up there? Could that vibration be footsteps?

What kind of terrifying monster is this?!

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, which terrified those who were afraid of footsteps even more. The monster had stopped above the air-raid shelter. At this moment, due to the continuous fighting, a crack had appeared in the air-raid shelter, through which a glimpse of the outside world could be seen.

The shadow blocked the sunlight, and an eye appeared in the crack.

"Hahaha, so they hid here!"

After its eyes, blinking through the cracks in the concrete, spotted the hiding spirits, it let out a sharp, piercing laugh. The entire air-raid shelter began to rumble and shake. Amid the screams of tens of thousands of spirit civilians, a pair of giant hands violently tore open the several-meter-thick layer of concrete above the air-raid shelter. A monster over a hundred meters tall, drooling, stared into the densely packed spirits inside. With nowhere to escape, they were filled with despair.
