Wizard's Journey

Chapter 227 The Shadow Catastrophe (Part 5)

Green's reinforcements quickly integrated with the existing wizard legion stationed there. Fallen Amonro and Soul Slaves scattered around the magic circle, reclaiming the protective magic circle.

The light wizards were quickly assembling their battle formations, while the dark wizards were relatively quiet, numbering only five.

Wearing a gray-white spiral-patterned Mask of Truth and a wide wizard's robe, with a round, chubby myna perched on his shoulder, Green, one of the five dark wizards, listened to mission information along with another female dark wizard who had come with him.

Ribbons of plants swayed behind her back, and the female dark wizard, her body hidden beneath a wide wizard's robe, spoke in a low voice.

"It seems... that something has changed in the fundamental rules of this world. It can be clearly felt that the power of shadow is constantly increasing in this world, and has completely rejected the opposing power of the crimson sun. Based on this, it can be inferred that this world may no longer have the crimson sun realm, and has become a complete shadow world."

A complete shadow world?

Doesn't this mean that all Amonroes will be able to cross the once invisible Red Sun Severance and pose a threat to wizards?

hissing...

Her long, flowing, fiery red hair was parted by a snake's head protruding from the sleeve of her wizard's robe, constantly flicking its tongue. Her pair of cold, piercing eyes were extremely unsettling.

The dark wizard said hoarsely, "Over the past two days, I've collected some live specimens. These Amonro individuals haven't changed physically, but due to the intense shadow power of this world, their endocrine hormones have undergone significant alterations, making them highly susceptible to berserk states after being stung."

Inhale, exhale...

The last dark wizard was only about 1.6 meters tall, but his body was extremely broad and muscular. Underneath his loose wizard robes, he was clearly wearing a suit of metal armor. His bald head and sinister face were full of grotesque expressions as he puffed out smoke from a thick cigarette.

As the dark wizard reached out, Green noticed a black hole in the center of his palm, as if it were connected to some unknown space.

After his slightly chubby fingers twisted irregularly, a menacing "octopus monster" appeared in the dark wizard's hand, a hazy gray mass that was difficult to see clearly.

The octopus monster twisted and turned, seemingly trying to escape the dark wizard's grasp.

Seal your talent!

Green felt a chill run down his spine. This was the first time Green had ever heard of the dark wizard's wondrous sealing talent.

"I've named this bizarre creature the Shadow Octopus. I've never encountered it in the past forty years of missions. This creature can ignore the wizard's shield and sneak into the shadow of a wizard's body to corrupt them with shadow. As for the consequences of being corrupted by shadow, one will lose energy sensing in places with sunlight, and removing the corruption is quite troublesome." The dark wizard's tone was heavy.

"Then why wasn't it reported to the operations command? If this information could be deciphered, it would be enough to earn a third-class medal of honor!" the witch who came with Green exclaimed in surprise.

The bald dark wizard sneered, "This creature is just the most troublesome of the thousands of strange shadow creatures that have suddenly appeared in the shadows."

Beneath the mask of truth, a glint flashed in Grimm's eyes, and he suddenly spoke, "How many magic stones does this specimen cost? I'll trade."

"If you want it, I'll give it to you."

The bald dark wizard used the power of nature to wrap the shadow octopus and pass it to Grimm. But Grimm, after receiving the shadow octopus, threw it directly into the shadow beneath him!

"you!"

The wizards were stunned, staring at Green in disbelief.

Creak, creak...

After a series of chewing sounds, Green said, "It seems that this shadow octopus is one of the creatures at the bottom of the food chain in this world. In fact, it has always been in every corner of this world, but we just haven't noticed it because it's too weak. Perhaps it's because of this change that this little creature has swum out from the corners of the world, and its strange abilities pose a great threat to wizards."

The crunching sound was the shadow hedgehog lurking in Green's shadow, devouring the shadow octopus.

Moreover, through short-circuit experiments, Green gained some understanding that this shadow octopus might have a close food chain relationship with those fluorescent green Amonro and fluorescent green beetles.

What might be considered "contamination" by a wizard could be a different kind of mutation and evolution for other creatures.

Uh...

A three-meter-long soul slave fell from the sky to the side of the five dark wizards, its blood flowing.

The five dark wizards glanced at it indifferently and noticed that the head of the six-legged armored creature had disappeared. Green and the witch who came with him couldn't help but frown.

This manner of death does not seem to be the work of Amonro.

"They are glowing green mantises. Some glowing green Amonroes ride on glowing green beetles and glowing green mantises. Relying on their super resistance, they can ignore the large-scale magic circle witchcraft attacks and have taken the initiative to enter the magic circle's defense zone to hunt down fallen Amonroes and soul slaves."

The dark wizard, whose back was draped with long, flowing ribbons of plants, explained.

hum...

Suddenly, a huge six-pointed star magic circle appeared in the sky. The five dark wizards looked up and saw the soft light shining like countless magic lamps, instantly illuminating the sky.

This is a giant light magic circle that the Ming Wizard temporarily created using some raw materials and his own wisdom and knowledge.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Almost instantly, the five dark wizards vanished from their spots, shooting off to various locations, moving among the soul slaves and fallen Amonroes within the magical array defenses, hunting down hostile creatures.

Accompanied by beams of light and the aid of magical array spells, large numbers of hostile creatures that had invaded the magic array perished and fell to the ground.

Holding his magic wand, Grimm fought fiercely against a two-meter-long glowing green mantis. The mantis's two glowing blades were extremely dangerous, and Grimm had to be very careful.

The surrounding space was filled with magical energy, and with a crackling sound, a bolt of cyan lightning suddenly shot towards the glowing green mantis.

The glowing green mantis was momentarily paralyzed, but its strong resistance prevented it from suffering much damage. However, countless glowing green bone spikes suddenly shot out from beneath it, piercing it through. This was the sudden attack from the shadow hedgehog.

With a sharp slam of his magic wand, the glowing green mantis's head shattered with a loud bang.

"Gaga, young master, let me help you." The myna bird took the initiative to help Green put away the activated flesh and blood corpse.

Green grunted in response, then flashed off towards another battle group. A dozen or so Fallen Amonroes and several Soul Slaves were being besieged by hundreds of Golden Amonroes, who seemed to be planning to destroy a war magic array base.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Three fire bats flapped their wings and flew over. With three loud bangs, flames filled the sky, illuminating a small patch of the night sky. Grin, his whole body engulfed in flames, began to slaughter these low-level Amonro, while beams of light shot out continuously.

Half an hourglass time later.

Many light and dark wizards breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the cleared defensive line within the magic circle. At the same time, two dark wizards began to replace the energy crystals on the base of the Lightling Fortress.

In the shadows and darkness outside the magic circle, shadowy figures flashed by, but none of them ventured into the magic circle.

The outer layer of the magic circle gradually regained its energy supply, emitting a faint glow, like a reassuring protective shield.

Snap! Boom! Crackle!

A bolt of lightning ripped through the shadowy clouds in the sky, followed by a rolling rumble of thunder. All the demon hunters, who were slightly out of breath, were stunned, raising their heads in astonishment.

Is it... going to rain?

In the world of shadowy mysteries, is it raining?
