Wizard's Journey

Chapter 117 Sweeping Across the Five Regions (Part 1)

After the red-crowned, one-eyed creature in the Black Tower Mystic Realm killed Hillwoods, it vanished from the realm as a vast, pure beam of magical energy descended from the sky.

In an instant, the mark points on Green's forehead beneath the pale mask surged like a tidal wave, and a number of 4077 appeared in Green's mind.

"So many?" Green was shocked.

The underlying logic is that as time goes on, the points earned by wizard apprentices will become increasingly concentrated among a few strong individuals, leading to a faster rate of point accumulation. Given that Hillwoods earned 4075 points in just two days, wouldn't his future point accumulation be ridiculously high?

At the same time, Green also confirmed a guess in his mind.

If a wizard apprentice participating in the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle dies, his points will likely be transferred entirely to the wizard apprentice who killed him, instead of being reduced by half as if the wizard apprentice left the secret realm.

In that case, it's quite possible that Hillwood could fight his way through District 12 using his strange sonic magic.

Green swallowed hard. He figured Hillwoods must have spent two days clearing out other areas before he got to District 12. Otherwise, it was hard to explain why so many points would be concentrated on a wizard apprentice on the second day.

Boom, boom, boom.

With Hillwoods' death, the activated elemental life he summoned also dissipated. The Flame Giant, now without its opponent, strode over to Green's side. The Blood Terror Doll on the Flame Giant's shoulder was only the size of a human baby, and it looked somewhat similar to Green. It kept emitting low, evil laughter and was holding a dark, unremarkable stone in its arms.

Green held a high-grade magic stone in his hand to replenish his magic power, and then swept his gaze across everyone present!

call out!call out!call out!call out!

Soram, Yunli, Bibiliona, and Luo Jia scattered their powers in all directions without any hesitation or fear, their faces bearing an inescapable look of terror, and they did not even have the will to resist.

At this moment, Green is the true devil of this Holy Tower Qualifying Battle Secret Realm!

With a cold glint in its eyes, the Greedy Flame Giant beside Grimm roared and chased after the Water-Earth Twin, Roga, while the Blood Fear Doll chased after Bibiliona.

This decision was made after careful consideration by Green.

On one hand, Soram's immortality and the spatial distortion and flickering of Meteorite mean that the Greedy Flame Giant and Blood Fear Doll are likely to waste their time chasing these two without any results.

On the other hand, there's Green's personal grudge.

Both Bibi Leona and Rhodes had significant grudges against Raffi. The injuries Bibi Leona inflicted on Raffi took several years for Raffi to fully recover; while Rhodes even attacked Raffi inside the academy, only to be stopped by Green himself.

Although Green had sworn not to interfere in Raffi's personal affairs, given the current situation, he could easily use earning points as a way to avoid breaking his promise...

Soon, the Greedy Flame Giant and the Blood Fear Doll caught up even faster and disappeared into the horizon.

"Brother Green!" Yorkriana flew over, calling out excitedly, her eyes sparkling and slightly damp.

Beneath his pale mask, Green smiled faintly, nodded, and gestured for Yokliana to stand beside him until everything was settled. He then turned his gaze to Aitz, who had given up on escaping.

Yaz leaned against a stone pillar, gazing at the now unparalleled power of Grin, a satisfied smile on his face. He excitedly shouted, "Black Sota Grin, go represent our Twelfth District and compete for the highest honor in the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle! My points... are yours! Hehehehe!"

Click!

Yaz crushed the badge in his hand, and after a spatial distortion, he completely disappeared from the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle Secret Realm. At the same time, the mark on Green's forehead grew a little longer.

Slightly surprised, Green suppressed all his emotional fluctuations and finally looked at Mina, the Son of the Sun, and Millie from the Ice Age.

Mina, the Child of the Sun, stood protectively in front of her weakened sister, clenching her teeth. Looking at Grin, who at this moment seemed unable to even muster the will to resist, she still cried out, "Grin, you have no magic left either!"

As he spoke, a layer of crimson flames began to rise from the Son of the Sun's body, and the surrounding air distorted slightly, still displaying the same intense heat that made the ordinary, weak wizard apprentice appear as radiant as the sun.

but……

At this moment, in Green's eyes, Mina's terrified eyes, trembling body, and uneasy heart all pointed to one thing: the flame around Mina that he saw as the glow of a firefly was real.

Once, during the newcomer trial, he was like the sun in the sky, arrogant, domineering, and invincible. Now, he is no longer even qualified to be Green's enemy, even if Green is in poor condition!

He shook his head slightly, a silent smile hidden beneath Green's pale mask, as if he were about to make a move.

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, the weakened Ice Age Millie screamed, as if making a last-ditch effort, but Green didn't hesitate for a second. His body turned into a blur and rushed over, the Hydra Greatsword in his hand igniting flames far more violent than the Son of the Sun, pressing down with an unstoppable and domineering aura!

The Son of the Sun screamed, "No! My sister and I will become witch hunters and fulfill Father's wish!"

Screaming, the Son of the Sun seemed to be making a final struggle, unleashing his full magical power to the extreme, causing his fiery red hair to stand up and surge wildly, yet his eyes were still filled with despair as he looked at the figure rushing towards him, seemingly intent on destroying everything in his path.

Just as the Son of the Sun was preparing for a final struggle with one hand and had already taken out the badge with the other, suddenly, Green's body stopped abruptly.

Green's eyes were fixed on the handkerchief decorated with a green parrot.

This feeling, this eerie feeling!

Green couldn't take his eyes off it. This eerie, soul-stirring feeling was just like when Green saw the Dark Destroyer "Initiator," the feeling that completely captivated his soul. Even when the lifelike parrot's eye on the handkerchief moved slightly, Green didn't feel anything unusual.

Deep down, only one thought echoed in Green's mind: He had to get this handkerchief!

Ice Age Millie, seeing Green's eyes practically glued to her, finally smiled. She relaxed her grip on the badge, breathing weakly, and said softly, "I knew it. You are a hidden talent with innate mental strength exceeding 10. Although you haven't reached the 15-point mark to manifest your innate talent, your talent will awaken once you advance to become a formal wizard."

At this point, she paused, then Ice Age Millie said, word by word, "And your talent is the ability to communicate across dimensional gaps—a spacetime dimensional sealing talent that is utterly useless to low-level wizards but incredibly powerful to high-level wizards!"

Green's pupils contracted!

Green had no clue about the strange and terrifying things he saw when testing his mental power in Bisserl City, but he vaguely guessed that they were some kind of sealed talent.

But why is Millie so certain about Ice Age?

"How did you know?" Green asked coldly from behind his pale mask, then continued, "And what about this handkerchief?"

Ice Age Millie had completely relaxed. Holding a handkerchief in one hand and the badge in the other, she stood up with Mina's help, raising the handkerchief high and saying, "The reason I know about your talent is because of this parrot's eyes. Father said that although he managed to communicate with this parrot briefly using other sealing magic, only by encountering a true dimensional rift sealer could he truly unseal the parrot the moment he advanced to a formal wizard. Therefore, only if you possess the talent to communicate with dimensional rifts can this parrot do this!"

Green took a deep breath, his eyes still fixed on the handkerchief, the longing in his heart was too intense!

After a long silence, Green finally looked away from Ice Age Millie and asked, "How can I get this handkerchief?"

"Sign the contract! You will not make things difficult for my sister and me in any way during this Holy Tower Qualifying Tournament. This handkerchief is yours! Of course, my sister and I will never compete with you for the position of first place in the region. We don't have the ability to do so anymore." Millie stared into Green's eyes and said, word by word.

Beneath his pale mask, Green pondered for a moment and said, "Add another 100 milliliters of your blood."

"Grin, you!" Mina, the Son of the Sun, roared in anger, but was stopped by Millie from the Ice Age. Millie looked into Grin's eyes and said, "For your so-called Grin Three Secret Great Magic Research, you managed to understand my Ice Marrow Body talent?"

Green didn't even blink, and said calmly, "No."

Of course, Green had to answer no, because even if Green were to study Millie's so-called Ice Marrow Body talent, it wouldn't be the Three Secret Great Sorcery, but rather the Four Secret...

With a smile, Millie surprisingly said without hesitation, "Deal! Hmph... You should know that talent is just the foundation; knowledge is the root! No matter how much or how strong your talent is..."

……

Grimm imprinted his unique soul fluctuations onto the contract that Mina drew on the ground with magical runes. After a burst of magical energy, the runes dissipated in the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle Secret Realm, and the contract was established.

This is just a low-level contract, which even a regular formal wizard has enough ability to break, but it is extremely effective for wizard apprentices in the Holy Tower Secret Realm, especially for Grimm who wants to compete for the highest honor.

Upon receiving the wondrous handkerchief, Green relaxed and tossed it into his spatial pocket without even glancing at it.

On the other side, Millie, who had already left, suddenly turned back and said, "Green, I summoned the Primal Curse Allilo to deal with that wizard apprentice from District 15. He is another legendary wizard apprentice from the Labyrinth Wizarding Academy in District 12."

After saying that, Millie and Mina left without looking back.

The Primal Curse?

Green was taken aback.

His own Grimm Body Transformation Great Sorcery is a wondrous sorcery that activates the body's life code to achieve certain independent mutations and alters the body's code information. Therefore, based on Grimm's knowledge, which states that all curses rely on bodily information as a trigger, Grimm has practically achieved complete immunity to all curses.

In that case...

Grimm might be the true nemesis of this wizard apprentice known as the Primal Curse, an existence that the other simply cannot resist.

So, let's start the battle for the ultimate spot in this Holy Tower qualification tournament with this Alyuro!

Yorkriana was full of excitement, chattering like a little bird, and told Grin about her contract with Solem. Grin nodded repeatedly, looking at this girl who seemed to be blessed by fate and suddenly became lively and cheerful, just like looking at his own sister.

After about half an hourglass's time, Green seemed to sense something and said to Yorkliana, "Liana, you should leave here."

Yorkliana nodded, understanding what Green meant, and said sadly, "Sister Raffi, Brother Binghamson, Sister Robin, they may never see Brother Green again. I'm so happy to see Brother Green one last time! Brother Green, I'm giving you my points too, good luck!"

After saying that, Yorkriana crushed the badge with a smile on her face and disappeared into the secret realm.

………………

P.S.: I'm a bit sad and upset today. Even after the Sanjiang recommendation, the editor still hasn't given me a decent recommendation or replied, which makes me quite disgusted. I vented on Qidian's forum, and because I'm still somewhat rational, I didn't name the editor. Readers who have time, please upvote this.

I feel absolutely disgusted, annoyed, and disheartened by my editor today!

Suddenly I realized that this darkness is truly darkness; it would be impossible to believe there wasn't something going on behind the scenes.

This proves what the elders meant when they said everything is difficult. Hopefully, "The Wizard's Journey" will have a better future...
