Wizard's Journey

Chapter 125 Sweeping Across Five Regions (Part 9)

One day later.

Green stood calmly on the ground, his eyes utterly serene beneath his pale mask, showing no sign of panic despite being trapped in a large magical barrier.

A golden light floated up from between the high, firm breasts of Cressia's chest, forming a pink defensive shield, around which more than a hundred fiery red flying scorpions swarmed.

Feeling the terrifying pressure of the surrounding restrictions, Kretia's face turned deathly pale with shock. "There are so many powerful individuals in this area? Not to mention that two of those troublesome guys escaped from your grasp. This restriction is definitely not something an ordinary wizard apprentice could set up. No wonder each of the three wizard apprentices has nearly two thousand mark points!"

Green said calmly, "This magical restriction is indeed very strange, but the one who concealed the fluctuations of the restriction should be a wizard apprentice who is good at manipulating mental illusions."

Yes, the first thing that came to Green's mind when he thought of how Green and Kredia could be unknowingly trapped in this restriction was a mental illusion similar to that in the Tower of Ruin. Only this explanation could make sense, explaining why Green's nose and ultrasonic positioning were successfully concealed from the three wizard apprentices that Kredia sensed.

but……

The reason why Green was not panicked at all was because the undying flame was effective against restrictions and defensive shields.

If Green finds more than half of the energy node of this restriction and then covers it with the Undying Flame, the Undying Flame will quickly consume the energy of the energy node, rendering the restriction meaningless.

……

Outside the restrictions, there was a three-person team.

The three were all female wizard apprentices who looked very similar, just like Millie and Mina, except that their hair colors were different, being purple, blue, and cyan respectively.

"Big sister, look at that woman inside the barrier! The mark on her forehead is that of a wizard apprentice from District 12!" the blue-haired wizard apprentice exclaimed in surprise.

The purple-haired witch apprentice was probably the oldest of the three. After glancing briefly at the panicked Kredia, she turned her gaze to Grimm, who wore a pale mask. Feeling a primal fear rising within her, the witch apprentice looked at the blue-haired girl: "Third sister, haven't you sensed the emblem's ripples on that white-masked witch apprentice yet?"

The third sister, with her blue hair, was sitting on a small, temporary altar three meters high. In front of her were a monster's head dripping with blood, two candles burning with green flames, a bent incense stick, and a strange magic circle made of a pile of intermediate magic stones.

The blue-haired girl held a crystal ball radiating strong spatial fluctuations and said anxiously, "The witch apprentice's badge can be triggered at any time, allowing her to leave the secret realm, but the masked witch apprentice can't sense the badge's location. Either he foolishly threw the badge away, or he has a spatial item on him that he stored the badge in."

This wizard apprentice, known as Third Sister, is actually a wizard apprentice who studies spatial power and mysticism!

Judging from their conversation, this girl actually has the ability to actively trigger the badges on other wizard apprentices, causing them to be "forced out" of the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle Secret Realm!

This kind of wisdom...

This kind of wisdom is just like Cretia's ingenious use of a different approach!

The blue-haired girl, known as the third sister, looked at the purple-haired eldest sister with a troubled expression and asked, "We still have six chances left with the Zero Boundary Stone. Should we expel that witch apprentice from the secret realm first?"

The purple-haired witch apprentice gritted her teeth and said, "We'll talk about it later. That witch apprentice isn't a big problem, the key is this witch apprentice with the white mask. I always get a chill down my spine when I see him. In a bit, I'll activate the restriction with all my might, and Second Sister, use your mental barrier to conceal our location..."

Clearly, this magical ability to actively trigger other wizard apprentice badges has significant limitations. It requires a deep understanding of altars, mysticism, and spatial knowledge, as well as offerings, the passive cooperation of the recipient, and a material called the Zero Boundary Stone.

……

Within the prohibition.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky. Kredia was startled and was about to use some kind of magic to block the lightning, but Green grabbed her first, and the space distorted, causing the lightning to miss.

With a loud bang, large patches of black soil splashed up from the ground, and sparks flew everywhere.

"One," Green murmured to himself as he appeared in the distance.

After memorizing an energy node beneath his pale mask, Grimm turned his gaze to another trembling patch of earth. More than ten earth giants, each two meters tall, were slowly rising from the ground. They all shook their heads violently, causing a cloud of dust to fall, before rushing toward where Grimm and Kredia had landed with a series of booming sounds.

"Two," Green muttered to himself again.

Suddenly, a violent magical fluctuation occurred in the space to the left, and violent wind and fire elements appeared simultaneously. Then, under the pull of some mysterious force, they gradually combined and formed a hurricane-like flame that was seven or eight meters high!

Even Green's eyelids twitched when he saw this high-intensity boosting magic, but he still muttered to himself, "Four, that's enough."

The moment the hurricane-like flames appeared, Kretia gripped the badge tightly and looked at Grin in fear, asking, "What do we do now? This magical barrier couldn't have been set up by an ordinary wizard apprentice. It's definitely a super barrier prepared specifically for this Holy Tower qualification battle by a wizard apprentice who specializes in barrier research. It even has four elemental attribute variations and such a high-intensity boosting hybrid spell. Perhaps only you can try to open the barrier in one go with that one move..."

Green shook his head slightly: "The Explosive Flame Spell also takes a lot out of me. I have a simpler way to break the restriction."

As he said this, Grimm suddenly distorted space and disappeared with Kretia. After several spatial distortions, he placed the Undying Flame at four energy nodes.

Wizards' magical restrictions are divided into restrictions on war magic and restrictions on personal magic.

The biggest difference between war magic restrictions and personal magic restrictions lies in the energy nodes.

Although both types of magical restrictions are based on six stars as their energy nodes, seemingly having only six energy nodes, each energy node of the war magic restriction is powered by six more basic magic arrays. In other words, the war energy restriction has at least thirty-six basic energy nodes.

However, the energy attack of a personal magical restriction only has six energy nodes, the only difference being the different energy contained in the magic stones within them.

The reason for explaining the differences in so many magical restrictions is that if Grimm wants to use the properties of the undying flame to disrupt the energy node supply, he must simultaneously deploy the undying flame on half of the energy nodes in order to achieve the function of disrupting and absorbing the magical array restrictions without being destroyed by the elemental power of the magical array restrictions.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One lightning bolt after another chased after Grin and Kredia, but the cumbersome earth giant Grin didn't bother with it at all. Although the hurricane flames had a strong attack speed, they were not suitable for individual combat and were obviously some kind of group combat magic.

Suddenly, Kretia exclaimed in delight, "It's working! Your earth elemental giants and that hurricane fire are dissipating!"

"Um."

Grimm could tell from the sight of the raging, inextinguishable flames shooting skyward that the magic circle had been broken only because of the remaining magical power of the opponent's magic stones.

"what……"

Kredia was overjoyed and was about to say something when her expression suddenly changed. She only had time to shout before the space distorted and she disappeared from the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle Secret Realm.

Ok?

Green's expression suddenly changed, and he said in disbelief, "Forcefully activating the mark badges on others? This! This kind of sorcery, which is practically designed to 'cheate' in the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle, actually exists? But why only Kredia..."

Green remembered that his badge was currently in a disposable spatial pocket. Could it be that the other party couldn't sense what was inside the spatial pocket?

Grimm breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but think to himself, wisdom is indeed incredibly important for wizards!

Of course, luck also plays a part...

If Grimm hadn't thrown the badge into his spatial pocket but had worn it instead, he might have ended up "being forced out" of the secret realm along with Kredia. Even so, Grimm's terrifying points would still have guaranteed him to become a prospective demon hunter wizard, but he would likely have missed out on the top reward.

Because if Green loses half of his points, the wizard apprentice who gains half of Green's points will inevitably have more points than Green.

In that case, Green's only hope for obtaining the pinnacle reward is that the wizard apprentice who earned his points is banished from the secret realm by someone else.

A moment later, the magical barrier dissipated in the undying flames, and the three sisters, who were not particularly strong in combat, crushed their badges without hesitation and left the secret realm.

In some ways, they are actually more suited to be arcane wizards!

But if they are combined cleverly...

Green glanced at the empty space behind him; Kredia was no longer there.

Shaking his head, Green no longer cared about the three hundred points, because in Green's eyes all wizard apprentices with more than one hundred points were the same, their marks were all as black as ink.

Nightmarish events unfolded in the Stone Pillar Forest of District 11. Grimm, like a meticulous and dedicated cleaner, began to thoroughly clean this area, which resembled the beginning of civilization in an endless world, causing this seemingly thriving and teeming District 11 to quickly enter a nightmare era and fall into decline.
