Wizard's Journey

Chapter 245 The Shadow Catastrophe (Part 23)

"Phew, things are finally a bit calmer."

Green stood on the rocks of the lava lake, where the scalding lava had just flowed, leaving behind terrifying heat, which was blocked by Green's Wizarding Shield.

Hidden within the magic circle, Grimm looked up at the lingering red clouds after the fire elemental fire had burned in the sky. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, gradually calmed his mind, and took out a mechanical ball from his chest pocket.

Click!Click!

After two mechanical friction sounds, one side of the mechanical ball melted away like a candle, revealing a glass cover, from which five faint beams of light flashed and disappeared.

"Hmm? These beams of light..."

Green's knowledge of light-based magic was limited, but some of the properties of the strange beams emitted from this mechanical sphere still caught his attention.

This beam of light can ignore the obstruction of matter, and it becomes extremely difficult to detect once it leaves a certain range.

Moreover, faintly, this beam of light seemed to be flashing at an extremely exaggerated frequency, in order to transmit some kind of information, similar to a code-like perception signal, but limited to the perception level of the Green life form, it could not be specifically sensed.

"This is the Yu Liang Ban Shu, the secret of ancient wizards' research on ultra-long-range command of mechanical puppet armies."

The myna bird, perched on Green's shoulder, stared at the mechanical ball and said something.

It's quite obvious that this mechanical sphere isn't from an ancient wizard's battle command post; it's likely a new functional tool developed by modern wizards using the knowledge and principles behind it.

Light magic is extremely magical. Wizards who are proficient in light magic will generally be skilled in movement speed and will also have outstanding abilities in certain magical artifact materials.

Green took out the crystal ball and waited quietly.

A moment later, a signal flowed through the Green Crystal Ball, magic surged, connecting with the other party, and the image of an old wizard with wrinkled skin appeared.

"Hmm? I'm the second one to be in position? Looks like the others have run into some trouble." The old wizard looked at Green, chuckled, and stroked his mustache.

In response to the vivid expression of the Ming Wizard, Green, wearing the Mask of Truth, simply nodded in reply, his expression displaying the instinctive seriousness of a Dark Wizard.

As they spoke, the crystal ball signal connected, and another demon hunter took his place...

After three hourglasses, the last white-bearded witch hunter riding a reindeer took his place. The witch hunters, who were secretly distributed around this tall and majestic lava holy mountain, had already obtained the coordinates of a six-star magic circle through communication.

According to the witchcraft intelligence provided by the combat command, as long as the Endless Crimson Sun is sealed within the range of this spatial perception magic circle, once activated, it will trigger spatial ripples, and the witch hunters at the magic circle nodes will be able to sense some information.

By combining this information and data, advanced wizards, through calculations using advanced spatial knowledge, have a high probability of finding a top-secret and wondrous place in this world, as revealed in the intelligence.

This wondrous place is no less significant to the world than the Lever of Fate in the Wizarding World.

Six demon hunter wizards took out their quills and, using the mysterious mechanical sphere in front of them as the origin of their calculations, began to draw magic circle energy node runes on the "space panel" using spatial magic. After being fused into a vortex by the mysterious light waves of the mechanical sphere, they disappeared into the distance.

This process, which was usually completed in the time it takes to set up in the secret room, was actually completed a little earlier now that my mental energy was exceptionally focused.

It resembled a giant spider web composed of countless spatial threads, with soft and subtle threads of perception covering it.

Become!

The six witch hunters breathed a sigh of relief and then waited silently in place.

Once the Endless Crimson Sun Seal is activated within the Lava Sacred Mountain area and the data is collected, Grimm's mission will be complete.

While fierce battles raged outside, the six demon hunter wizards were desperately trying to hide themselves, and for a moment they even felt a little bored.

Green looked up, gazing at the damaged breach in the lava holy mountain.

At this moment, the Lava Sacred Mountain resembled a giant spring, with golden magma gushing out from the breach and flowing down to form the magma lake at Green's feet. Occasionally, some fire elemental creatures living in this pure magma would leap out of the lake.

Without a doubt, the center of this fiery world is this lava holy mountain, and... the wizarding world's original space fortress atop the holy mountain!

The fortress was too far away. At this moment, when Green looked up from the ground, he could only see a blood-red sphere and did not know the specific situation. However, the scene of the lava holy mountain was truly shocking.

Although the Amonro from the Shadow Realm were affected by the rules and unable to unleash their full power in this fiery space, it seemed that precisely because of this, countless Amonro hordes surged into the lava holy mountain mouth like a tidal wave, one after another, eager to finish the battle quickly, only to be met with fierce resistance from these enormous lava creatures.

According to intelligence, the interior of the Lava Sacred Mountain is an important place of rebirth for the Lava Giant race.

From time to time, lava giants would disintegrate into countless fragments of rock and fall from the sky, or groups of Amonroes would be burned to ashes.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

Beside Green was a lava lake, into which large, broken rocks and Amonro's corpse frequently fell. The lava lake rippled like boiling water.

Holding their breath, Green and the other five demon hunters waited patiently.

This wait lasted for three days.

Three days later, with a cruel look in his eyes, Grimm finished off a dying lava giant who had discovered the hidden reef. In the crystal ball floating in front of him, the red-haired little witch hunter cried out in surprise. It turned out that the boulder that had blocked the entrance to the temporary cave that he had broken open had been discovered by a group of Amonroes.

"Boscottin!"

After the girl exclaimed in surprise, a sinister and cruel glint flashed in her eyes. A giant elemental fire bear roared and appeared outside the cave. The bear, its body ablaze with flames, swept wildly, crushing the several Amonro digging at the cave entrance in an instant, and a brief period of calm returned.

"Do we need to change the energy node coordinates?" an old wizard asked with concern.

"No! If the Endless Crimson Sun Seal is activated during the coordinate change, the consequences of mission failure could mean we lose an opportunity to befriend a great Saint Mark Wizard." The dark wizard, surrounded by six ghostly pumpkins, resolutely refused, his orange aura churning erratically.

At this moment, the difference between the light and dark wizards is clearly evident.

The red-haired little witch hesitated, looking troubled, a rolling fireball burning in her palm, biting her lip tightly.

"Phew! This is..."

Suddenly, the witch hunter standing behind the deer exclaimed in surprise, and the other witch hunters in the open-air positions also looked up.

Dark clouds covered the sky, and the sunlight disappeared.

Green exclaimed, "Impossible! The Shadow Cataclysm has actually spread here?"

The myna bird also cried out in surprise, pointing to the sky in one direction: "Look over there!"

Above the sky, a terrifying, gigantic, blood-red creature with countless tentacles was slowly floating out from the depths of the shadows, swaying constantly. Its true appearance and full shape were impossible to discern.

Above, countless figures of Amonro were densely packed together.
