Wizard's Journey

Chapter 247 The Shadow Catastrophe (Twenty-Five)

hum!

A dull thud mixed with shockwaves as a column of golden magma crashed into the shadowy clouds, exploding in mid-air like a punctured balloon. Rolling shadowy clouds and debris from the camphor tree rippled outwards in concentric circles.

In the dim shadows, the endless giant hand of the Zhangma tree, which had completely blocked out the crimson sun in the sky, was broken through by the golden lava flow of the lava holy mountain.

As the explosive shockwave spread, the shadowy layer of the sky atop the lava holy mountain was mercilessly torn apart.

After bursting out of the shadowy Zhangma tree's giant hand layer at an unknown height, the golden magma bloomed like fireworks, transforming into countless golden droplets that fell from the sky above the shadow, piercing through the shadowy clouds and crashing to the ground.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

In the blink of an eye, the briefly gloomy sky became riddled with holes, and beams of sunlight shone on the ground through the gaps in the shadowy clouds pierced by the erupting lava.

At the same time, after the original will of the Wizarding World of the Origin Space Fortress briefly disappeared, it spread again as the shadowy clouds were pierced, and was sensed by several Demon Hunter Wizards.

"Huh? My God! Young Master Grin!"

Beneath the surface of truth, Green looked up, his eyes widening, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

This is lava rain!

Countless drops of golden magma, each the size of a baby's fist, fell from the space above the shadowy Zhangma tree. Due to the surge of golden magma pillars, the magma rain continued to fall.

Golden and crimson light filled the sky.

These magmas, with their extremely high temperature and destructive power, are formed from the purest fire power of the lava giant race, and are far beyond the capacity of a low-level demon hunter like Grimm to withstand.

The sky was filled with a rain of magma, falling at a high temperature, creating twisted spaces that burned and surged, so dense that there was no way to avoid them.

"No!"

Almost simultaneously with Green, the other five demon hunters who were tasked with establishing the coordinates of the Endless Crimson Sun Seal screamed in terror and abandoned their mission.

The red-haired witch and two Ming witches flew off in the opposite direction from the Lava Sacred Mountain without hesitation.

The demon hunter dark wizard raised his magic staff, and with the surge of magic, the six ghostly pumpkins let out a wail and then exploded on their own, turning into wisps of orange phantom mist that entered the dark wizard's body.

The demon hunter riding the elk let out a long "moo," and the elk's antlers shone brightly like colorful coral. Then, the space rippled like water, and the elk and the demon hunter riding it disappeared together.

"Fire Shield!"

"Wizard's Veil activated at full power!"

"First level of wild instinct, activate!"

In the blink of an eye, dense black scales the size of silver coins spread across Green's body, emitting a cold black light. With a howl from deep within his throat, Green raised his fire shield and looked up in despair at the continuous rain of lava that seemed to fall like raindrops.

"Do you have any ideas?" Green asked the myna bird with a glimmer of hope, before the lava rain had completely fallen.

The myna bird, now transformed into a child's drawing, shrieked, "Take care, young master! You'll live forever in my heart!"

After saying that, the myna bird twisted and disappeared from the real world.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

As the first scattered showers of lava fell to the earth, amidst the sounds of explosions and tremors, the demon hunters, including Grimm, were utterly despairing.

These lava raindrops, no bigger than a baby's fist, explode into a giant fireball the moment they hit the ground. The powerful shockwave melts the earth's rocks into a glassy state, and burning rocks are sent hurtling in all directions with the shockwave.

In an instant, the end of the world arrived!

These golden lava rains may seem insignificant, but the fiery aftershocks that erupted upon hitting the ground alone exceeded a thousand degrees. Such a disaster was far beyond the ability of a low-level demon hunter like Grimm to withstand and survive.

Three Ming wizards who initially decided to flee to distant places.

The extremely cute red-haired witch was unfortunately struck by a drop of lava rain. Her wizard's shield melted away in a flash, leaving a burning hole the size of a head in her chest.

"ah……"

With a pitiful, innocent face, the girl screamed as flames instantly engulfed her entire body from the hollow hole in her chest, exploding into a sky full of flames with a "boom," vaguely resembling a howling giant bear.

In an instant, the girl turned to ashes, becoming an inconspicuous ball of flame on the land surrounding the Lava Sacred Mountain.

The other two demon hunter wizards were shredded into pieces by the shockwaves and debris from all directions, and then burned to ashes by the rolling flames, their bodies twisted and burned away by the intense heat.

the other side.

The demon hunter, a dark wizard with six ghostly pumpkin phantoms inside his body, was engulfed by flames, shockwaves, and debris from all directions. But just before he was about to die, the ghostly pumpkin phantoms would scream and disappear, as if they had taken the place of the demon hunter in death.

After struggling for a short while, a drop of lava rain fell right on the head of the witch hunter.

boom!

A fireball more than ten meters in diameter burst open, and tens of thousands of fragments of rock scattered in the shockwave. The spot where the demon hunter had just stood was now just a giant crater filled with hot liquid glass, and there was no trace of the demon hunter anymore.

Moo...

The elk cried out pitifully as the rolling lava rain burned and distorted space, squeezing the elk out bit by bit from the unknown space, burning it to ashes along with the white-bearded witch hunter above it.

Green's side.

"what……"

Unbearable pain swept over his entire body. His legs were empty, one arm was gone, and only half of his body remained. Green roared in agony. At this moment, the Wizard's Shield, the Black Scale Armor, and his powerful physique had become a burden that prolonged Green's suffering.

Grimm, who was constantly being swept up by the power of flames and shockwaves, had his remaining half of his body riddled with holes. His body cells kept turning into tentacles in an attempt to repair the damage, but it was just a drop in the ocean.

Am I going to die?

As Green had this thought, two more loud booms rang out, and two drops of lava rained down not far from Green, shattering the earth and unleashing a violent shockwave of fire and countless fragments of rock.

Taking a deep breath, a ray of light burst forth from the eyes beneath the mask of truth—the will of life to resist death, to not give up hope of survival, and to struggle and fight.

With his remaining hand raised high, Grimm unleashed the magic of his wand.

boom!

A wave of fire swept through, and everything went black before Grimm's eyes. He could no longer feel his arm, and his magic wand had vanished. At the same time, after the blinding light passed, his vision was instantly plunged into darkness, and his ultrasonic perception became completely chaotic.

At this moment, Green lost everything he had to rely on.

There is no hope left...

As if he were spending the last moments of his life, Green's intense struggle gradually subsided, and his heart began to calm down.

Quietly, Green began to recall his life. From the time he could remember, he was an orphan on the street, unaware of his origins, adopted by Old Ham, pursuing knowledge through the tedious and gloomy experimental process of a dark wizard, his inner struggles, dreams, and hopes, and the imagination he once had of exploring the endless and wonderful unknown world alone.

However, at this moment, it seemed that Green... had no choice but to give up.

In Green's perception, only his natural power as a formal wizard remained. It was with this last bit of ability that Green was able to hold up the remaining half of his body, neck, and head—the last living vessel—in mid-air, enduring the continuous impact of flames.

The endless crimson sun of the Lava Sacred Mountain, which sealed the golden magma pillars, showed no signs of weakening. At this moment, it not only broke through the shadowy clouds of the Zhangma tree above the Lava Sacred Mountain, but also spread mercilessly in all directions, like a ruthless hand tearing apart the dark sky.

The sky and earth of the Fire Domain world were once again bathed in light.

As for the number of Amonro who died from burning in that short period of time, it was simply countless.

Red, black...

In Green's perception of the forces of nature, the power of fire and the power of mystery were intertwined, and under the strange rules of this world, they seemed to be producing some kind of reaction in this extreme environment, transforming into each other.

The mutual transformation of opposing energies?

This seems to be an energy level that is at the same level of opposition to the energy of mutual collision and annihilation that I pursue. In other words, is the height that I pursue the limit of the rules of this world?

……

It seems that after a brief period of extreme darkness, the world has begun to shift towards another extreme.

"Has the Great Cataclysm finally begun?"

Having gained a glimmer of understanding, Green had already given up, but at this moment his soul and will suddenly froze.

wrong!

Besides the forces of nature, there was something else in Green's perception: a layer of paper as transparent as water ripples, a relative spatial boundary that ordinary creatures could never perceive in their entire lives.

This is a relative boundary between the material world and the void world!

"what……"

With a howl, the next moment, Green seemed to have entered a black circular hole, disappearing in a flash.

I finally finished my graduation project yesterday. I'll resume updates before going home for the Chinese New Year. I'll try updating with three chapters a few more times these days to make up for it.
