Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1101 The War of Civilizations (Thirteen)

"Huh? It's you!"

Deep within the Holy Tower base, among the elite legions that had come to provide support, the Fortress Heart Saint Mark Wizard, who had come alone to District 258, looked at Grin.

This mask...

Suddenly, it reminded him of the little guy who had sought his help thousands of years ago and made a fate contract with him.

"Master of the Heart of the Fortress"

The three-headed, six-armed giant, while collaborating with the female mechanical stigmata archmage who had returned from the front lines to fight against and suppress the head of the Crystal Terminator, which appeared near District 258 and wore the Mask of Truth, looked at the stigmata archmage under the command of the True Spirit Wizard.

That happened when Green was still a Level 3 Archmage.

At that time, Green went to the Sky City's First Holy Tower to issue a mission for the sixth phase of the Project of Truth: the Biomechanical Microscopic Eye, and unexpectedly met this Fortress Heart Stigmata Wizard.

As a stigmata under the True Spirit, the Heart of the Fortress does not have its own independent source of magic power and can only borrow the source of magic power from the Holy Tower. Therefore, it is very concerned about its prized disciple, the Light of Superconductivity, and will never allow its disciple to repeat the same mistake. Its source of magic power was destroyed, and it became a stigmata under the True Spirit, losing its freedom.

Therefore, upon seeing Grimm and recognizing his value, the sixth phase of the Face of Truth Project was used as the condition of a fate contract. Grimm received a biomechanical microscopic eye, representing the most advanced technology in the wizarding world at the time, which was personally crafted by the Great Wizard of the Heart of the Fortress and perfectly matched with the Face of Truth.

The contract condition is that before Green can advance to the Saint Mark Wizard level, he must ensure that the source of the Superconducting Light Wizard Tower's magic power is not destroyed by external conditions.

Thus, in the subsequent war between the academies triggered by Sky City, it was Green who turned the tide and single-handedly protected the source of magic power for the Superconducting Light Wizard Tower.

Perhaps Grimm's aura has changed over thousands of years and Fortress Heart is no longer familiar with it, but as the Great Wizard of Fortress Heart who spent decades creating the biomechanical microscopic eye for the Face of Truth, he has an unforgettable memory of this mask.

Although the truth is now vastly different from what it was then!

"It really was you, Green."

Seeing Green admit it, even though it was hard to believe, the Heart of the Fortress had no choice but to accept what was happening before him.

Time has passed, and the mere third-level archmage who could only roam the wizarding world back then has now grown to this level, fighting alongside him against the enemies of wizards.

In comparison, what kind of wizarding genius was his prized disciple?

With a slightly stiff expression, she unleashed a torrent of thoughts churning within her. With a "boom," the female holy-marked mechanical archmage walked through real time, quickly dodging a high-intensity energy ray of over 400,000 degrees from the Ghost Crystal Terminator, before her restless will surged forth.

"Let's deal with this monster crystal terminator first!"

The witch's words jolted Fortress Heart out of its reverie. Nodding, it made no move to activate its true form and charged directly toward the Crystal Terminator.

Whether it was Green's imagination or not, as this Crystal Terminator continued to consume energy, in addition to a decrease in its attack strength, reaction speed, and power, the pink crystals that made up its body seemed to be gradually fading and becoming slightly transparent.

Could it be that it's constantly consuming the "universal energy" of the Philosopher's Stone?

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

Under the combined attack of two Level 6 Saint Mark Archmages and one Level 5 Saint Mark Wizard, the body of the Mysterious Crystal Terminator not only gradually faded in color, but also consumed a large amount of energy with each injury, causing the crystal to disintegrate.

Every time Grimm used his Annihilation Power to annihilate the sneak attacking Crystal Terminator, his heart bled. If he could seal it away, these would all be Philosopher's Stones. The Philosopher's Stones he lost in a single Annihilation attack were roughly equivalent to the Philosopher's Stones he had earned from each mission.

If, after the Civilization War ends, the Wizarding Civilization gains access to and absorbs the knowledge of the Metal Destroyer Civilization...

Two days later.

This blocking battle on the second front lasted for nearly three days. The void fleet, which broke through with the power of the space-based star-destroying cannons from the distant war front, finally achieved victory with the efforts of all the wizards on the second front, as well as the support of the wizards who returned from the first front and the core wizards of the base.

Millions of wizards have perished, only five of the seven space fortresses remain, one Saint Mark Wizard has fallen, six Lords of the Otherworld Summoning World have fallen, and countless slave navies and mechanical puppets have been amassed...

The losses on the second front, which served as a buffer against the initial attack, were negligible compared to those on the first front.

"Waaah, thank you, thank you so much for letting me go back, I'm very grateful."

The three-legged death raven, having escaped death, is now incredibly grateful to the wizards who "forgave" him and allowed him to return to his mother world, completely forgetting that he was just forced to risk his life.

Although it was only outward gratitude, he had probably cursed her a million times in his heart, especially Green.

Space distorted, the portal to another dimension opened, and the three-legged death raven, dragging its weary and weak body, rushed inside and disappeared.

"Wow, young master, why is this guy grateful to you?"

Xiao Ba brought Ye Ye back, and she landed on Lu Lianman's shoulder, who looked tired but was extremely excited.

"Hey, thanks to me, it was able to make a breakthrough. Who else should it thank but me?"

Green shamelessly explained, his will fluctuating, as he directed the wizards to collect spoils after the great battle, finish off the metal robots in the war wreckage that had lost power due to graphite dust, remove CPU chips and energy blocks, search for usable wealth in the wreckage of the void mothership, and treat the wounded.

In the aftermath of the war, the land was ravaged, and the towering metal walls were riddled with holes, leaving behind traces of energy from the war.

Deep within the base, three space fortresses carrying a full complement of Saint Mark Wizards and slave monsters are approaching to make up for the losses here.

Those vibrant faces, full of enthusiasm and energy, were mostly newcomers to the wizarding world, leaving for the first time. They weren't even true wizards yet, but deep down they still missed their wizarding apprentice friends and looked forward to reuniting with them.

"The Tower of Annihilation, the Holy Mark Wizard"

A Saintly Wizard arrived from afar. He was the same Level 5 Elemental Wizard who had previously unleashed a large-scale destructive spell alongside Grimm. Clearly, he was extremely impressed by Grimm's Falling Star Great Spell.

Whether in terms of the scope of destruction, attack power, or degree of destruction, the Destruction Star Great Sorcerer's Spell far exceeds the scope of ordinary level 5 sorcery, which is largely due to the Sin Stone carrier and Grimm's 550 mental power.

"Uh... hello, may I ask your name?"

"Three Winds Gathering at the Top: The Holy Mark Wizard"

With long eyebrows resembling two wisps of transparent wind element, a red jeweled top hat, and a bluish-gray wizard's robe, the old wizard introduced himself with a smile, then said in a low voice, "This war, I don't know how long it will last, but I'm afraid the next launch of the space-based planet-destroying cannon won't be too long. At that time, it will inevitably be another fierce battle to hold them off. How about you and I, as elemental wizards, join forces?"

"good!"

Green readily agreed.
