Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1298 The World of the Black Veil

The history of the Nightshade Souls ruling the Black Veil world dates back several eras to the time of the Great Ecosystem Cataclysm.

In the face of a cataclysmic ecological upheaval, the world's primordial light was eroded by the rules of the eternal moon. From then on, the cycle of the sun and moon ceased, and only the silvery moonlight, after passing through the world and refracting, illuminated the earth.

During the mass extinction, the many dissipated souls actually influenced the fundamental rules of the world, thus giving birth to the Night Shadow Soul, a vengeful spirit life form that can unleash the power of phantoms under the silver moonlight.

But at this moment...

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

An eight-legged spider covered in black fuzz, its compound eyes gleaming with cruel and savage light, appeared one after another on the mountain ridge. It let out a low, hoarse cry, and then rushed down the ridge one after another, pouncing on dozens of wandering Night Shadow Souls in the sunken valley. A hunt and slaughter ensued.

The ionized light of the electron layer high in the sky is the only illumination in this world; the dark environment is the perfect paradise for the venomous spiders to breed.

Uh...

A cold wind blows, and fluffy white dandelions drift by—strange things in this dim world.

One of the dandelions broke free from the gloomy wind and drifted towards the breeding spiders that were hunting for food in the valley. After circling around, it gradually transformed into the phantom of a white-skinned human wizard, who surrounded a giant breeding spider more than ten meters long, casting healing spells to repair the wounds that the Nightshade Soul had just inflicted on it.

These reproductive spiders seemed to have gotten used to the healing effect of the free-floating dandelion, showing no abnormalities and continuing to do what they were doing.

"Are you still the wandering dandelion-like archmage I know, the one who guards the world of Netherfire for the sake of the wizard's will?"

Suddenly, a faint, ethereal sound emerged from the cold wind.

The dandelion clone that was treating the hideous and ugly reproductive spider suddenly trembled, and the eyes on its pale face looked incredulously toward the source of the sound.

"You, you, you are... "

Her voice trembled, and her eyes, which had been wandering, stared at the three-colored, illusory figure that was gradually emerging from the cold wind and walking towards her step by step. She could hardly speak.

The phantom, however, remained unperturbed, continuing to walk step by step toward the wandering dandelion clone, its three-colored eyes staring directly at it.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Having just hunted down the Nightshade Souls, the breeding spiders, whose ugly mouthparts were slowly chewing and enjoying their meal, stared at the abrupt figure walking in the eerie wind with their cold and cruel eyes.

There was no trace of life, as if it were just a phantom.

If some lower-level beings with higher intelligence were to witness this scene, they would likely immediately perceive it as some kind of mysterious phenomenon and fall into terror.

This kind of silent, elusive phenomenon, where one possesses real perception yet reveals no power, is so enigmatic that even a full-force attack seems utterly ineffective. It is an incomprehensible form of existence, a mysterious phenomenon that seems to exist in a higher dimension of time and space!

However, these reproductive venomous spiders, possessing only the simplest and most brutal hunting intelligence, have absolutely no scruples.

The moment they sensed the appearance of this strange object, the ugly, ferocious mouthparts that were chewing on the soul energy body stopped. Their cold, emotionless compound eyes peered at the figure walking in the gloomy wind, hissing as they pounced on this suddenly appearing prey.

In their simple wisdom, anything that doesn't exude an aura of power that instills fear in them is food.

Green walked on, ignoring the insects under his feet.

All the breeding venomous spiders that came within a hundred meters of Green froze, their bodies seemingly pierced by millions of mysterious ripples in an instant, like statues.

As Green moved further away, these seemingly petrified reproductive spiders began to emit large amounts of light from their mouths and noses, while they themselves were being devoured by the source of darkness. In this interplay of light and darkness, they disappeared without any struggle, their whereabouts unknown, twisted by the Path of Annihilation or completely shredded by the power of spacetime.

"Master Wandering Dandelion, do you still have a wizard's will in your heart? Do you still firmly believe that you are a wizard, and that a wizard's will will bring you hope? Please tell me."

The low, hoarse tone gradually rose, and Green emerged from the semi-illusion into reality, standing quietly before the wandering dandelion clone.

"Tower of Annihilation, what are you doing here!?"

Confirming it wasn't a hallucination, the Great Wizard's avatar, detached from the Dandelion Saint Mark, felt a mix of bitterness in his heart. His eyes even misted over at that moment. He was a lonely and helpless wanderer in a foreign land, manipulated by others, with no status or dignity whatsoever.

Only at times like these will one truly understand the value of a wizard's will!

Despite the many problems in the wizarding world, with its undercurrents and the fact that each faction of wizards has its own lofty ideals and is constantly fighting with one another, if it weren't for the Witcher Expedition, the wizarding world would probably already be in chaos.

but!

It is a real wizarding world, the home of wizards, and an absolute force for deterring the outside world.

Having escaped the shroud and intimidation of the wizard's will, even someone as powerful as Grimm now finds it difficult to travel through the endless worlds, and he no longer enjoys the unstoppable freedom he once had in the Wizard Alliance.

It is precisely because they have experienced such a vast difference that the wizards who have returned from their travels are more united and build a shared wizarding will!

"Of course! I will never forget that I am a Stigmata Wizard of the Wizarding World, not an alien evil god here, and I will always remind myself not to give up. It's just that this Proliferating Spider Queen is too powerful. I thought that spacetime passage was the hope of escaping the clutches of the Metal Destroyer and gaining a new life, but I didn't expect to end up with a gaping maw and meet my death."

This wandering dandelion clone is merely a wisp of the original body's will, one of millions of clones, and its power is negligible.

At this moment, I am moved to tears by my own feelings.

"Only I survived, living a life of mere slavery. My main body was kept by the endless sovereign of the Proliferating Spider Mother, while my countless clones helped her venomous spider army invade various worlds. I had to prove my worth, or else the lightning arcs and thunderclouds, the hoarse songs, would be my fate."

"I'll help you!"

Green's voice was firm and powerful!

"As long as you firmly believe in your heart that you are a wizard, the wizard's will will be your strongest support. Even if it means overturning the entire world, we will uphold the dignity of the wizard's will and will not allow the great wizard's will to be trampled upon in any way! Wait for me, I will definitely rescue you!"

"How will you save them?"

Because this clone was so weak, in her eyes, Green was just a mysterious phenomenon, an incomprehensible existence.

"I am no longer that little wizard who looked up at the battlefield of civilization and drifted with the tide. A new chapter in the history of wizarding will will bear the mark of our new generation of wizards!"
