Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1186 Only lacking... power!

a few days later.

The battles continued, one after another, until finally, there were no more challengers. The four coffin risers reunited, and Green was fortunate enough to witness the true faces of all four.

Besides the paper doll and the skeleton monster, the other two were a bizarre rag doll with half its body burned, and a humanoid warrior with four arms that were blood-red light blades. Their wrinkled and emaciated skin had dense stitches on it, much like the result of Grin's mentor Peranos practicing the dual-force magic of repulsion with a complete ley line stone.

Huff, huff, huff...

Although none of the four coffin raisers were defeated despite the continuous challenges, their reactions clearly showed a difference in strength.

The relatively weaker ones should be this four-armed blade warrior and the skeleton monster, whose aura fluctuations are extremely chaotic at this moment. The one that Grimm senses is the most powerful is undoubtedly this demon doll!

Like a bottomless vortex, the overwhelming shadow that made Green feel humble and look up at it was probably more powerful than King Abaddon that Green had witnessed in the Evil God Paradise!

This is a monster!

What kind of terrifying world with such rules could give birth to such a horrific life form, which is then sealed in its dimensional esophagus, awaiting its fate of being digested by the endless world?

"Did you come from a dimensional gap?"

The doll turned half its body toward Green and asked in a low voice, its remaining eye constantly scanning Green.

"Yeah, I was accidentally sealed in a dimensional rift, barely escaping with my life, but I'm going back for revenge!"

Green disguised himself.

"To have survived that, you must have tremendous potential. So, make your way through the Dimensional Escape. If you're still alive after a few epochs and haven't found a new way out, come back. I can wait a few epochs, but those three might be gone by then."

Hearing the doll's words, Green felt a chill run down his spine.

Already so powerful, this old monster must have lived for countless epochs in the dimensional esophagus. Judging from its tone, living for several more epochs or even a dozen more epochs wouldn't seem to pose much of a problem for it. Could it be immortal?

What kind of world did this monster come from?!

Such a monster should indeed be sealed in the dimensional esophagus, allowing the endless world's rules to digest it.

Unlike the weaker world lords in the Dimensional Digestor who are still fighting and evolving for food, these ascenders have clearly long since lost all distractions and have reached the ultimate level of their own evolution. Their single-minded pursuit is to leave the Dimensional Digestor and return to the material world, escaping the fate of being digested by the endless world.

However, in their pursuit of escaping the dimensional esophagus, aren't these coffin-raisers also helping the dimensional esophagus digest the exiles here?

This gathering alone attracted the dimensional gap phenomenon and then the Coffin Riser Challenge, resulting in hundreds of powerful world lords being digested by the dimensional esophagus.

"Sigh... No one has been able to succeed this time either. We've all reached our limits, so there's no point in trying anymore."

The four-armed swordsman shook his head and sighed.

Of the four, its soul is the weakest, and it can only last for another thousand years at most.

"Why don't you accept the sacrificial summons and prolong your life?"

Beneath the mask of truth, Grimm's three-colored eyes looked at the four-armed Blade Warrior and asked.

"It's no use. I've endured it far too many times. Even if I were to receive the ultimate thousand-year sacrifice now, it would only take me a few months. Once you've endured it many times, you'll understand."

The four-armed blade warrior shook his head and left dejectedly, while the skeleton monster beside him gradually dissolved into the bones beneath his feet, awaiting the next gathering of challengers to the coffin risers.

"Every thousand years, fresh blood from the surrounding area gathers, causing dimensional gaps and disrupting the rules here, thus launching the challenge of the Coffin Ascenders. At your current level of life essence, you are far from realizing your full potential. Come back after a few eras when you have realized your full potential."

After saying that, the demon doll turned into ashes and vanished.

"hiss……"

Green was horrified. On one hand, the other party had actually seen through his disguise as the source of annihilation and seen the essence of his life. On the other hand, Green could actually sense the aura of the Ash World from it.

Could it be that it was sealed in the Ash World and then escaped from the Ash World to the Dimensional Digestor?

"By the way, if there are any strong individuals at other gathering points, you can try to introduce them here."

Under the observation of the Grimm's Truth, the ashes that the demon doll had turned into showed no movement whatsoever. A small portion of the ashes formed a mouth, added this sentence, and then disappeared again.

As the land crumbled and ravines spread across it, leaving only Green and the paper figure, a sense of desolation arose. The prospect of being crushed and digested by the endless world's irresistible rules filled one with despair.

"Several eras?"

The paper figure shook its head.

"I'll try my best to hold them off. Maybe a few more powerful special beings will come. Who knows? They've also escaped from other illusory worlds. I hope you're stronger than the demon doll."

Splash splash splash splash...

Paper scraps filled the air as the last person to lift the coffin departed.

"Several eras?"

After shaking his head inwardly, Green sensed the guidance of the Robe of Appearance and explored the possible time rifts in all directions before heading into the distance.

With passive evolution, Green possesses the Philosopher's Stone to assist in super-fast evolution. According to Green's estimation, he should be able to reach the peak of passive evolution of his body in a few hundred years, unlike what these four coffin ascenders imagined, which required waiting for several more eras.

As for advancing to the sixth level of Elemental Saint Mark Grand Wizard, unlike the gradual growth of passively evolving creatures, after advancing, an Elemental Wizard only needs to meditate his mental power to the maximum value to complete an instantaneous qualitative change. The only things that determine the achievement of an Elemental Wizard are wisdom and knowledge, not the accumulation of time.

Thus, filled with eager anticipation, Green continued his journey in search of the light of hope that would dominate the corpse.

Clues to escaping the dimensional esophagus, powerful and terrifying collaborators or enemies, an extremely difficult way to open it, and Grimm's final act: the consequences of fighting three against one after forcibly opening the Coffin of Hope with the Scepter of Hope!

All of Green's routes and goals within the dimensional esophagus now seemed to be becoming clear and distinct.

What Green lacks is only strength!

According to Green's estimation, among the four coffin risers, the skeleton monster and the four-armed blade warrior were at least at the level of Black Sota Stigmata Wizards before their fall, or even stronger.

Even though the House of Cards paper dolls are slightly weaker than Abaddon, the King of Purgatory, they are still capable of facing him head-on.

As for the incredibly bizarre demon doll, in Grimm's perception, it is at least stronger than King Abaddon in his Evil God Paradise state!

Even with four powerful ascenders gathered, it is still far from opening the Coffin of Hope. This is just one of many gathering places in the Dimensional Food Path. There are many other such gathering places. No wonder a terrible thing that once happened here, tearing the ruler to shreds.

The Dimensional Digestive System truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most terrifying places in the deepest illusory worlds!

Here, even simply surviving is a struggle against the innate instinct to digest the endless world.
