Wizard's Journey

Chapter 272 has become a legend.

"Burn her, you evil dark wizard!"

"Ah...no..."

Roars and screams mingled together as knights charged forward and fell on the road amidst the panicked neighing of their warhorses, or threw their torches and swords, igniting flames in the otherwise peaceful night.

The old witch Bibi Leona, whose face was covered in scabies and who looked extremely ugly, let out a sinister laugh, revealing two rows of broken, blackened teeth. Her withered, wrinkled hands slowly produced a black skull.

A dark red light flashed in the skull's eyes, and the wails of humans that lingered on it scattered in all directions.

The moment these wailing phantom human heads came into contact with the charging riders, both horses and riders collapsed to the ground, their flesh withered, their eye sockets quickly sunken, until they died.

"Dark magic! This is dark magic! Get away from these skeletal phantoms!"

The knights screamed in terror, trembling from the depths of their hearts at the sight of the mysterious and evil black magic.

Behind them, the pale-faced noble ladies looked expectantly at the two wizard apprentices, while the cunning nobles remained silent, quietly retreating a little, as if ready to flee at any moment.

The apprentice wizard with a pipe on his arm exhaled a thick cloud of smoke with a solemn expression. He then carefully took out a cloth bag from his pocket, and the brown ash inside floated up and merged into the smoke rings, drifting towards the terrifying black wizard in a very secretive manner.

On the other side, the cold-blooded wizard apprentice kept his eyes closed and did not chant any spells. This seemed to be a super-class witchcraft that had been prepared for quite some time during the knights' charge.

Gradually, an immense magical pressure began to manifest, and the wizard apprentice's blood-red eyes slowly opened.

"Superconducting sorcery, a thunderous funeral!"

Light illuminated the night sky, and amidst the deafening thunder, a blue pillar as thick as an infant's arm shot towards the black wizard at incredible speed.

These two wizard apprentices were almost at the level of the top ten masters of Blacksota.

however……

The old witch, Bibi Leona, looked over with her cloudy eyes, but smiled disdainfully: "Naive."

She calmly extended her other withered hand, and a large cloud of mist burst forth from her dark magic staff. Then, it quickly combined with a water elemental, and with a boom, a water column flashed and disappeared, striking the lightning pillar head-on.

There was no bombardment or explosion as I had imagined.

As the cold-blooded wizard apprentice's eyes narrowed in disbelief, the pillar of lightning seemed to melt away, instantly shattered by the black water column and surging back.

"Get out of the way!"

The cold-blooded wizard apprentice only had time to let out a roar before a loud boom was heard, the earth trembled slightly, several slum houses collapsed, and the beautifully dressed noble ladies melted into bones without uttering a sound.

"Ah...run! Run away from this demon!"

Terrified, the nobles drove their carriages and fled in panic out of the slums.

The coachmen, already filled with fear, paid no heed to the noble lords and carriages, and vanished in a flash.

The dust has settled; after a series of massacres, more than half of the hundreds of knights have perished.

Before the old witch Bibi Leona, seven or eight wails of human phantoms were devouring the hidden magic released by the pipe wizard apprentice.

The old witch's cloudy, crazed eyes locked onto the two terrified wizard apprentices.

"Incredible! This... this was just one of the guys from the Black Tower Wizarding Academy who were defeated in the Holy Tower Battle two hundred years ago. Now, probably only that legendary wizard apprentice from the Dark Mirror could handle him alone. He's just too strong!"

The blood-red light in the cold wizard apprentice's eyes faded, leaving behind a trace of shock and despair.

Black wizard magic automatically imbues itself with human despair, and its attack power far exceeds the limits that ordinary low-level magic can achieve. No wonder it makes ordinary wizards of the same level feel powerless against it.

The pipe-wielding wizard apprentice tumbled to his feet, quickly scrambled to his feet, and ran off into the distance without looking back, shouting, "Run!"

The knights had long lost their courage and scattered in disarray, as if they were afraid of losing a leg.

"Hmph, try to escape? You'd better stay here obediently."

Bibi Leona grinned maliciously, licked her lips hard, and then her body suddenly turned into a cloud of water mist with a "bang." The mist then gathered again dozens of meters away, and her withered old hand grabbed the neck of the pipe wizard apprentice, her black nails digging into his flesh.

This was actually the elemental teleportation ability mastered by a level two wizard, a powerful ability that Bibi Leona had always pursued during her time as a wizard apprentice at the academy.

"No!"

The apprentice wizard felt as if an iron hoop had been put around his neck. With a desperate cry, he tried to struggle, but his neck snapped with a crack.

goooo...

Bibi Leona's tumor throbbed violently, and she turned her head with a sinister grin, looking at the other wizard apprentice whose coldness had vanished.

At the same time, the skull in Bibi Leona's hand flashed with a dark red light in its eyes, sucking the soul of the pipe wizard apprentice into its mouth, with faint wails of the soul echoing in the air.

"Hmph, little brat, you ruined my plans. You'll have to go keep him company too..."

Ok?

As they were talking, Bibi Leona was about to cast some kind of evil black magic, but suddenly she seemed to have a strange feeling, looked up, and saw an unbelievable scene.

"You are... Bibi Leona!" came the surprised voice.

Above, two figures floated silently in the sky. One of them, an old witch, was scrutinizing herself with a bounty scroll, recognizing her identity. This person seemed to be…

"Yokliana! Yes, you're that bitch's... "

However, before Bibi Leona could finish her sentence, her pupils constricted sharply when she saw the mysterious figure wearing a white mask beside Yokliana. Her body trembled instinctively, and she let out a desperate, beast-like scream of disbelief: "Grin!"

In an instant, Bibi Leona completely lost her will to resist. Her body exploded with a "bang" and turned into a cloud of water mist that gathered in the distance.

Her face trembled with fear, making her forget everything else; all she wanted was to escape this hellish place immediately.

That person is the devil, a real devil!

Bibi Leona will never forget the scene of the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle, which was like a nightmare. Bibi Leona asked herself that even after more than two hundred years, she could never be a match for the devil from two hundred years ago!

This demon is just... too powerful!

"Bibi Leona?" Grimm, beneath the Mask of Truth, was filled with surprise. This person was actually Bibi Leona?

Thinking back to the time on the ocean liner, that little girl with long golden hair and fair skin, was treasured like a precious gem by two wizards, who covered their noses and disdainfully complained that the cabin smelled too bad.

During the later trials for new recruits, she, who had been bullied by the Son of the Sun, actually teamed up with Solem, Yunli, and Green to defeat the arrogant Son of the Sun so badly that he gave up the final reward.

Afterwards, she secretly fought with Raffi, and they were evenly matched. Even at the Black Sota Academy, her senior brother sought revenge at all costs, but he was stopped by Green. It took Raffi several years to recover from her injuries.

All the memories are of this girl as if she were a pampered princess, always being cared for.

But now...

That beautiful, spoiled girl who always complained about every flaw had actually turned into such a filthy, ugly, and foul-smelling black witch apprentice?

Moreover, she was so fragile that she could be crushed with a single finger.

"Heh heh, Bibi Leona, the black witch apprentice, you think you can run away from a great wizard? Death is your final destination."

With a sinister laugh, Yokliana manipulated the power of nature, squeezing Bibi Leona, who had been transformed into elemental mist, back into her true form. With a bang, a stone spike pierced Bibi Leona's heart without any resistance.

Ultimately, Bibi Leona's elemental body was merely the sorcery of a wizard apprentice, not the instinct of a second-level wizard.

Carelessly, Yokliana walked to Bibi Leona's body and severed her ugly head.

Green watched this dramatic scene unfold, finding it impossible to reconcile with anything he remembered.

The timid Yokliana who once nestled behind her brother has now casually killed Bibi Leona, who instilled fear in all the "wizard apprentices" on the ocean liner.

On the contrary, Yorkliana, without any hesitation, picked up Bibi Leona's head and put it into her spatial pocket, saying with a slight delight, "That's quite a small gain. This guy's head is worth quite a bounty."

Having already advanced to the rank of a formal wizard, she was accustomed to being superior to wizard apprentices in her advanced life form, even so-called legendary wizard apprentices.

Green nodded without saying anything.

"Greetings, esteemed wizards! Thank you for saving us!" On the ground, the once cold and indifferent wizard apprentice, who had been in despair, shouted excitedly with the utmost respect.

Green glanced at the wizard apprentice but ignored him.

In high spirits, Yorkliana didn't want to pay any attention to the wizard apprentices, but then she suddenly remembered something. She paused slightly as she was about to lead Grimm to the next destination and turned to look at the wizard apprentices who were respectfully bowing on the ground.

The wizard apprentice was already beyond excited by his incredible stroke of luck today.

"Hmph, little guy, you're lucky today. You get to see this nightmare-level wizard apprentice who represented the Black Tower Wizarding Academy in District 12 at the very top during the Holy Tower Qualification Battle two hundred years ago."

Green frowned, stopped beside Yorkriana, and said with displeasure, "Don't waste your time."

Yorkriana shook her head, smiled knowingly, and with Grimm in tow, they vanished into the dark night sky in a flash, their wide robes fluttering, leaving behind only the endless mystery that the cold wizard apprentices on the ground yearned for.

The cold-blooded wizard apprentice stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked. He murmured incredulously, "The Pale Masked Senior Grimm of Blacksota, the legend who swept across the five realms..."

Just like Green's senior sister, Ghost Spring, Green has become an enviable legend among all the wizarding apprentices in District 12 in the coming years, among these lower-level beings.
