Wizard's Journey

Chapter 115 Turning the Tide into Rain

Green dared not make any sudden movements or become distracted.

As if concentrating all his attention to condense the two repulsive forces together, Green's body trembled slightly, because this was the first time Green had actually cast the Explosive Flame Spell after simulating the magic circle spell in his soul.

If the exploding flame magic circle in his soul is indeed faulty, then the next moment could very well be the moment of Green's self-destruction!

As the two repulsive elements slowly gathered, a stable energy sphere with a dark red hue began to appear, and Green felt a sense of relief.

The Explosive Flame Spell had no major flaws.

At least Green wouldn't self-destruct. Even if there were some minor mistakes, they were mostly within Green's tolerance. Therefore, Green completely relaxed, a confident smile on his face, and quickly and forcefully brought his hands together. The dark red energy ball on Green's chest began to increase rapidly, gradually reaching the size of a baby's fist.

Green's eyes lit up.

The fire element has no issues with stability, but the water element has two deviations. One is a calculation error, and the other is due to the unique properties of the volatile rare rune. There are two unstable factors within this explosive fire magic.

but……

Generally speaking, this sorcery, which uses the power of annihilation to enhance the destructive power of flames, has succeeded!

Grimm stared at the exploding fireball gradually forming on his chest, his eyes beneath the pale mask shifting to the blood-soaked, disheveled figure in the flames on the ground. A slight smile played on his lips as he silently thought, "You lost!"

At this moment, although the effects of the potion and the high-grade life-giving leaves were about to wear off, as long as the spell succeeded...

Hillwoods' body was trembling unconsciously from the relentless, ferocious attacks. He also had a leaf of life in his mouth. He looked up at the dark red energy ball that made his hair stand on end. Several blood vessels appeared in his eyes, and veins bulged on his forehead. His body trembled instinctively.

Concentrating all his will, Hillwood unleashed the little magic power he had left.

Ding!

The tinkling of the bell on his chest resonated, and a super-frequency sound wave appeared. Although Green in the distant sky blocked the sound wave, his expression suddenly changed. He felt that the energy ball on his chest was becoming unstable and was about to dissipate into water and fire elements again.

His eyes twitched wildly, and veins bulged on Green's forehead as he used all his mental energy to control the dissipating water and fire elements, even letting out a beast-like growl from deep in his throat.

This witchcraft is indeed far beyond the level of a wizard apprentice!

Finally, the trembling dark red energy ball began to stabilize, and Green secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this explosive fire magic dissipated, Green would not have enough magic power to support a second magic gathering in a short time, and when the Life Leaf and the stamina-boosting potion wore off later, Green would no longer be able to suppress his opponent with his physical strength.

However, if an elemental war were to break out, his depleted magical power would be...

As the dark red energy sphere began to stabilize completely, Green let out another cold laugh, glanced at Hillwoods who was struggling like a caged beast in its final moments, and began to gather his hands together again. Only one last bit remained; then Green would have truly completed this powerful sorcery, which had taken him over ten years of his life to perfect!

Once the Explosive Flame Spell is fully completed, this powerful District 15 wizard apprentice will have no chance against this super-class spell with a 320-degree attack.

The only way to save your life is to leave the secret realm.

Green would never know that the arrogant District 15 wizarding apprentice, Hillwoods, had already discarded the badge that symbolized his second life...

"No...stop! No, no! Stop now!"

At that moment, as Hillwood looked at the energy sphere gathering in the sky and about to take full shape, he felt a shadow of death looming over him, and for the first time, he let out a scream.

Green remained unmoved and continued with the final steps of the exploding flames.

Because it was the first time he was using witchcraft, Green's Explosive Flame Witchcraft was so difficult to master. If he could correct that calculation error in the future, and with increased proficiency, his speed would increase significantly.

Seemingly having made some momentous decision, Hillwoods wore a resolute expression. He pulled out a bottle with one hand and poured the liquid inside into his mouth. With his other hand, he forcefully reached into the hole in his chest and yanked out the bell that resembled a heart.

My body jolted!

Hillwoods' face was filled with a deathly aura, but seemingly due to the potion he had just used, he swayed slightly before daring not to pause at all. He tilted his head back sharply, aimed at the hole at the small end of the bell, and roared a powerful sonic wave!

hum...

The bell rang!

An invisible giant bell appeared in the air. As the sound wave passed through the bell, it was amplified by some kind of sonic lever force, and a massive and vast sonic cannon was born. Like an unstoppable, all-destroying torrent, it blasted towards Grin, who was only one step away from completing the sorcery in the sky.

Green is terrified!

Unlike Hillwoods, Green had not yet reached the final stage, so he still had the ability to escape. He dared not hesitate at all, and his body distorted and disappeared from the original spot.

boom!

Under the torrent of sound waves, the dark red energy sphere, which had not yet completed the final step, trembled and then rapidly disintegrated into countless water and fire elements, completely dissipating into the air.

boom!

Further away, a stone pillar was swept by the sound wave and made a loud noise, followed by a series of cracks and a crash as it slowly collapsed.

The space distorted, and Green's legs went weak. He managed to squat on top of a stone pillar, holding a magic stone in one hand and leaning on the stone platform with the other, panting heavily.

"you!"

Green's face was extremely grim. The effects of the physique-enhancing potion and the Life Leaf had worn off, and Green dared not clash with Hillwood again.

However, Hillwoods on the ground was in a worse state. His body was leaning against a protruding block of ice. Although the bells began to vibrate like a heartbeat again, they were so weak, like the feeble heartbeat of a person in their twilight years, barely clinging to life.

"Cough, cough..."

After a series of coughs, Hillwood wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his tattered robe, barely managing to lift his head to look at Green. He gasped in a hoarse voice, "Green, you really are amazing, making me use this ability a second time. Cough cough, now that I think about it, I really regret using it the first time… Because of that, I spent decades in loneliness in District 15, cough cough cough…"

Green looked at Hillwoods, who was also panting.

However, Green was far stronger than his opponent at this point, and in the other side of the elemental bio-battle, Green had already gained an absolute advantage, so victory was only a matter of time.

"You have no hope. Leave the secret realm!" Green said breathlessly.

Hillwoods looked at Green, forced a smile, and gently shook his head, saying, "No, I can't lose, because I've only just been resurrected! Green, although I don't want to win with this move, I can't lose, because I've only just begun to enjoy the pleasures of being alive!"

As he said this, Hillwoods slowly raised his arm, and after his tattered robe fell off, a black key appeared in his dripping blood palm!

"You're the loser!" Hillwoods shouted with his last breath.

Then, with a strange spatial fluctuation, a pitch-black rift more than ten meters long appeared above Hillwood's head! With a muffled roar, two thick, powerful arms covered in golden fur gripped the two sides of the black rift, as if a huge body was about to emerge from the other side of the black rift at any moment!

"The Key to Friendship with the Sacred Mark!" Green stared at Hillwood in shock and astonishment.

In the far distance, a group of wizard apprentices, who had been harboring mixed feelings, looked at the black key in Hillwoods' hand and the two arms extending from the black gap above Hillwoods' head, and their expressions finally changed.

As Mina, the Son of the Sun, trembled, she murmured, "Grin, though I lost to you, you lost to our shared destiny. In the end... I won, my nemesis."

Ice Age Millie surprisingly showed a sad expression, saying dejectedly, "In the end, I'm still a little lacking? But... you're already very strong, a strong warrior from the Twelfth District who's even stronger than me! How laughable that I once said I was looking forward to your performance..."

Soram closed his eyes, gently shook his head, and said in a low, sorrowful voice, "So, we're all just crickets in a box..."

With tears welling in her eyes, Yorkiana sobbed, "Brother Grin, you can do it!"

Bibi Leona, Roja, and Yatz remained silent. Today, even though Green had failed, he had triumphed over everyone present and earned the affirmation of all the adults.

Only Yunli suddenly raised his head, as if he was about to do something. However, when he saw Green on the stone pillar platform in the distance, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his body stopped moving amidst waves of excited trembling.

On the stone platform, a weak Green slowly raised his arm, and a purple key emerged from his outstretched hand. Beneath his pale mask, Green's eyes were filled with a victorious smile as he looked at Hillwood: "The Key of Friendship, I have one too..."

Click...

A black rift, even larger than the one above Hillwood's head, burst open above Green's head. A pair of thick, powerful golden claws suddenly stretched out and pulled the black rift in two, instantly making it even narrower and larger. Then, a giant red-crowned, one-eyed bird's head slowly emerged from the other end of the black rift!

Green, who was holding the Key of Friendship of Black Sota aloft, suddenly narrowed his eyes. Looking at the bird's head peeking out from the dark crack above his head, he stammered, "It's...it's that..."

This creature was actually the terrifying creature from the giant bird's nest where Green picked the Golden Ginseng in the Black Tower Secret Realm! Green felt that it was a terrifying and powerful creature equivalent to a level three archmage!

With that, Green was finally able to relax completely.

The Lord of Black Tower... truly worthy of being a Level 6 Saintly Archmage.
