Wizard's Journey

Chapter 289 Weakening the Wildness Level

Whoosh, whoosh.

The two wizards vanished in a blur, and in a moment they had covered a distance of several thousand meters.

With a "thud," the two fell to the ground.

Ok?

Green did not immediately examine the corpse in front of him, but turned to look at Gabil behind him.

Both rushed to the ground, but Green landed silently, while Gabil caused the ground to tremble violently, and a huge footprint appeared beneath his feet.

This scene is similar to the time when Millie and Mina unleashed their super-level sorcery with all their might, or the twisted footprints of the Black Sota Stigmata wizards on the ancient ruins' metal floor, or even the sacred relics left behind by those ancient Stigmata wizards at the moment of their death in the Fallen Basin.

These are all signs that a wizard is unable to perfectly control his own energy, resulting in the waste and leakage of energy.

In a negative sense, it's because these wizards have low control over their abilities, but the actual reason is that... their basic energy coefficients far exceed the control range of ordinary wizards of the same level.

Thump, thump, thump.

Gabriel ignored Green's attention, because he was used to the fear that weak wizards had of him, their spying on him, and their secret observation of him.

Step by step, Gabil walked toward the corpse.

This was a wizard who died from two fatal wounds to his abdomen and the back of his head. The abdomen wound was caused by some kind of deadly weapon, while the back of his head was caused by an external force that pierced a hole in it.

The hole at the back of the head was empty.

After observing for a while, Gabilai actually laughed: "Hmph, it really is caused by Lokiru. His three-headed dog goblin will suck the back of the head of any creature he kills to nourish that dead eye."

After saying that, Gabil turned around, pointed at the corpse, and said nothing.

This situation is as if one is directing one's own summoned slaves.

Green silently crouched down, brought his nose close to the wound on the corpse's chest and the opening at the back of its head, sniffed carefully, closed his eyes, and began to analyze.

A moment later, Green stood up and pointed in one direction of the Gem Sea, saying, "They went in this direction. However..."

Just as Gabilai was about to take off, he stopped and frowned, saying, "But what?"

"However, besides the scent of Lokiru and the three-headed dog fairy that killed this wizard, another wizard came here after them."

Green looked at Gabil and said.

"Hmm? There's another person! Hopefully... it's not him." Gabil muttered to himself before riding the giant metal bird at full speed in the direction Grimm pointed. Grimm's space distorted as he followed.

three days later.

While flying at full speed across the Gem Sea, Green suddenly said, "That's right, this is the direction. I can now clearly sense their scent."

Gabil, who was piloting the giant metal bird, said in a deep voice, "Is that other scent you detected on the corpse also present?"

Nodding, Green said, "Yes."

Gabil's expression seemed somewhat solemn, and a layer of elemental mist obscured his face, making it impossible for Green to see the specific situation.

Green speculated that among these demon hunters vying for the qualification to hunt demons, there must be a terrifying figure who even Gabil felt pressured by.

Green and Gabil once again embarked on their journey at full speed.

Half a day later.

As Green sensed the increasingly distinct scents and even deduced from the irregular permeation of elemental power that they had likely engaged in fierce battles along the way, the two should be very close to their target.

In Green's heart, hatred mingled with unease.

Green harbors hatred for Hattori's secret implantation of a parasite into Raffi's body, forcing him to become a black magic apprentice. As a result, Green is hunted by bounties from all the wizards on the wizarding continent and is unable to seek normal help.

Green was anxious because he feared that Hattori Mizo would not agree to his deal or would make unreasonable demands, leaving Raffi with no hope of ever making a deal.

The pain of having one's weakness exploited by others filled Green with anger and rage.

Even with an energy balancing system to alleviate the seal, according to Green's deduction, it would only provide temporary relief. Furthermore, even with a more powerful seal, what difference would there be between Raffi surviving the last decade or so within the seal and actual death?

Green's goal was to make up for the regrets he had felt in the past, to leave behind a real and heartwarming memory on his wizarding journey, and to fight for it with all his might, rather than seeking self-deception and comfort.

on the other hand.

Green paid the witch spirit to have the myna bird go find out about Grand Duke Zerato sealing Rafi.

Even when Green wasn't by Raffi's side, if Lato were close enough to realize Raffi's identity as a black magic apprentice, he would only assume that Green was determined not to release this black magic apprentice who would endanger the rules of the Holy Tower, but couldn't bear to take action himself because of his wife's status, so he asked Green to seal her away.

If it's just a black magic apprentice, and the seal was performed after payment, wizards of the same level will still give him some face, at least they won't kill him without permission.

Um! ?

Just as Green was somewhat lost in thought, Picasso let out a muffled groan, snapping Green back to reality. Beneath the mask of truth, his eyes gazed into the distance.

A dazzling, fiery red light shone brightly.

"This guy, he's here too?" Gabil muttered.

As the fiery red light drew closer, Green could see clearly that it was a male wizard whose wizard's robes seemed to be some kind of magical artifact, spontaneously emitting a unique, blazing flame and radiating astonishing light and heat.

Ok?

Is it because of those feathers?

Green noticed the fiery red feathers on the robe of the suddenly appearing witch hunter; the core of the fire power in the robe was located there.

"Jabile, you've finally shown up. The Three Pepper Demons and Kuyak are hunting their target ahead, and I didn't have a chance to compete with them. But if I can hold you back from going to steal it, the reward Kuyak offered will make my trip worthwhile. Heh heh heh heh."

Like a meteor streaking through the sky, the demon hunter stared intently at Gabil and said with a cold smile.

He only had eyes for Gabil, completely ignoring the existence of Green.

That's true. Even if he kills Green, he won't get the reward from that guy named Kuyak.

"Damn it! Not only has that terrifying guy, Three-Pepper Demon, arrived, but Kuyak has also fallen! This is terrible! That bastard, Lokiru, I should have abandoned him back in that Demon Hunter Expedition world. He really has already gone with Kuyak..."

Green sensed something was amiss.

It seems that these witch hunters have all gone through some missions together in the same witch hunter expedition world, and have gained an understanding of each other's combat abilities because of certain events.

While urging the giant metal bird beneath him, Gabilie suddenly said to Grin, "Grin, go and stop this guy. Regardless of whether I succeed in winning the Demon Hunter title this time, I will pay you fifty witch essences as a reward."

With a "whoosh" sound!

Fifty magic essences appeared, but it was Grin who took them out and threw them at Gabil.

Gabi Lie, atop the giant metal bird, froze, staring at Grin in disbelief. "You!? What do you mean by this?"

Green said coldly, "This is my reward of fifty witch essences. I'll go ahead and investigate myself. I will follow what Instructor Peranos said and not compete for the demon-hunting achievement quota, to give your instructor an explanation. I am not a slave you can order around at will, you fool."

Along the way, Green had already had enough of Gabil's arrogance.

If it weren't for the fact that they were on the Wizarding Continent, and that Peranos and the Dean had a relationship, Green would never have wasted those fifty pieces of wizard essence.

Giving up these fifty witch essences at this moment is merely a favor to the female dean downstairs from the mentor.

"You... Ah! Green, you're asking for it!"

Gabil, realizing what was happening, caused the massive elemental mist to dissipate with a roar, and the wizard's robe ripped into countless fragments.

With incredible speed, Gabilie transformed into a cold, ghostly afterimage and pressed down on Grin. His fist, covered in metallic scales, slammed down with an aura that seemed capable of destroying everything. The terrifying pressure even created a piercing sonic boom in the air.

With its incredible explosive power, it's practically a monster!

However, Green was already prepared. Beneath the mask of truth, his eyes were now incredibly sharp, and he roared, "First level of Wild Instinct, activate!"

boom!

Two fists collided!

After a brief moment of silence, a violent shockwave suddenly erupted between the two fists covered in metallic scales. The shockwave was like shattered glass, piercing and sharp, and it rippled outwards.

Suddenly, beneath the mask of truth, Green's pupils contracted sharply!

Squeak...

Green's wizard robes were instantly destroyed by an invisible sonic wave, torn into magical fragments from his fists and arms to his back. Then, the repulsive force surging from Green's fists was unexpectedly countered by an unbelievable force, pushing Green more than twenty meters away with a "bang".

With a muffled groan, Green recoiled in horror as he pulled back his twitching arm.

It's likely that Gabil's punch just now exceeded 1,500 degrees.

On the other hand, Gabil also stared wide-eyed at the back of his hand that had just exchanged punches with Green. The scales covering his wild instincts had retracted into his skin on their own, as if they had been affected by some kind of curse.

Moreover, if it weren't for that strange repulsive force, I probably would have broken Green's arm with just one punch.

What kind of curse or witchcraft is this?

Kabila was quick-witted and began to analyze the situation rapidly.

It was able to gather life information the instant it made contact with me and then launch a counterattack, completely ignoring my double-layered curse magic defenses!

It is clear that Gabil has some misunderstandings.

"Hmph, Gabil, you'd better stay here obediently, I'll keep you occupied!"

The fireball hurtled towards the giant metal bird, and with a deafening boom, a violent wave of fire elemental energy filled the sky, accompanied by roars reminiscent of primal beasts…

As Green followed the scent trail he had caught, he recalled the state of the alienated force field spell he had just performed.

In the exchange of punches between Green and Gabil, Gabil suddenly erupted in anger, unleashing his first-level primal instinct for self-defense as he slammed his fist at Green.

Green, on the other hand, uses repulsive force and alienation field to assist in the counterattack after activating the first level of his wild instincts.

As it turns out, Green would have been injured long ago if it weren't for the repulsive force. However, Green has just gained a new understanding of the alienation force field.

The alienated force field actually has a weakening effect on the enemy's wild instincts?

It seems that there must be some deep, unknowable connection between wild instincts and the cracks in the code of life. This will be the research direction for Green to combine elemental magic with body-training magic after he finishes studying elemental energy.

Thinking this, amidst the constant spatial distortions, Green gradually sensed waves of chaotic elemental fluctuations ahead...
