Wizard's Journey

Chapter 290 Conditions

This……

This feeling... this is the Level Two Demon Hunter Honor Badge!

Grimm stared in shock at the distant battle, his mouth slightly agape beneath the mask of truth, a cold sweat breaking out on his back...

Originally, when Green arrived at this battlefield, the first thing he paid attention to was the black wizard Hattori Hikari.

He saw that she still looked exactly the same as she did during her novice wizard apprenticeship, without any change. Green vaguely remembered her, recalling how she had teased him during the noviceship and her amazing ability to move freely among rocks and trees.

The wails of human heads surrounding Hattori Mizo were densely packed, their desperate cries and screams intertwined.

This is the breath of human despair.

A ferocious, blood-red giant, seven or eight meters tall, with no skin on its body, resembled a lump of strong, muscular flesh stitched together. Its massive mouth was filled with sharp fangs of a primitive creature, and a long, bloody tongue, a full meter long, stretched out and swayed incessantly.

This is a black wizard chimera!

Hattori Mizo's upper body emerged from the top of the chimera's head, and the phantoms of wailing human heads surrounding it were imbued with auxiliary black magic, swirling around the chimera and stimulating its functions.

An ominous and unsettling atmosphere permeated the air.

Seeing such a powerful and terrifying image of a dark wizard, Green finally experienced the power of a dark wizard firsthand for the first time.

At this point, if Grimm were to fight Hattori Mizo head-on, he would have no chance of defeating him. Thanks to his ability to control humans, Hattori Mizo had grown into a wizard who could rival Grimm at this time.

however!

Around Hattori's hideout, five giant skulls were spewing out dark energy nets, completely trapping the chimeric giant within.

No matter how Hattori Hizo activated the chimera giant, or even used black magic repeatedly, he could not break through the dark energy net. He could only temporarily prevent the net from completely trapping him.

Seeing this, Green felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and his eyelids twitched as he looked up at the dark and terrifying figure in the sky!

On one side, a withered, dark hand opened, and surging elemental power continuously gathered on the five skull ring artifacts on its palm, flowing towards the five skeletal phantoms that surrounded Hattori Mizo.

The dark wizard didn't even glance at Hattori Mizo, as if this dark wizard, who made Grimm feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, was nothing more than a piece of cake in his hands.

On the other hand, the black-robed dark wizard's withered hands tightly gripped a magic staff made of the spine of an unknown animal, and the raging gray flames above his head resembled a wisp of flowing hair, constantly chuckling sinisterly.

This gray flame...

This is the flame of the dead!?

Green remembered that on the ship, the wizard Dila from Lilith's Hut Wizarding Academy defeated the octopus sea monster with this kind of eerie flame.

According to what Green later learned, this was a wondrous flame possessed by only a very few wizards skilled in soul magic.

"Kuyak, this guy... no, this monster is just too strong! I never imagined that even the two of us working together wouldn't be a match for him!"

A demon hunter shrouded in pale white bone armor, wielding a longsword made of bone and with a pair of bone wings on his back, was fighting two soul slaves engulfed in flames of death in the air. It did not look easy for him.

Two soul slaves, one a reptile covered in bone spurs, incredibly agile, four meters long, with each bone spur tip burning with the flames of death.

The other soul slave was an elemental creature composed of water mist and gray dead soul flames, whose form was constantly changing, its body sometimes long and sometimes short, sometimes large and sometimes small.

Behind the demon hunter, whose entire body was covered in pale white bone armor, a miniature three-headed dog, more than half a meter long, flew nimbly, with a black beam of light occasionally shooting from the third eye of its middle head.

However, the black light seemed to have no effect whatsoever on the soul slaves burning with the flames of death.

Kuyak?

Upon seeing the miniature three-headed dog, Green naturally knew that the demon hunter covered in pale white bone armor was the Lokiru that Gabil had mentioned. The faint scent lingering in the air also confirmed Green's judgment.

Following Rocky's shout, Green looked toward the witch with long blonde hair.

This female witch hunter was standing on a prominent platform atop a pyramid-shaped flying machine that was over thirty meters long and wide, surrounded by more than twenty cans of magical ink of different colors floating around her.

On the high platform of the pyramid-shaped flying machine, countless blood-red runes emitted an ominous and mysterious light, like eyes peeking through cracks in a door in the dark night.

On the other side, there were four soul slaves burning with gray, deadly flames, fighting and circling the high platform of the pyramid-shaped flying machine.

Each soul slave, burning with the flames of death, is incredibly agile, possessing the bizarre combat abilities of a first-level creature, and they can coordinate perfectly with each other.

The female witch hunter could only grit her teeth and passively defend herself using her flying vehicle.

This guy is actually able to control so many powerful soul slaves at the same time!

Grimm gazed at the gaunt, mysterious figure of the dark wizard who looked down upon all directions in the sky. Was this the power of soul magic?

At this moment, the dark wizard did not seem to have used his full power, but the six soul slaves he released alone gave Green a sense of oppression, like a newcomer looking up at the Son of the Sun during a trial.

This person must be the Three-Pepper Demon that Gabi Lie was so worried about; he is indeed ridiculously strong.

At that very moment, without realizing it, Green sensed the fluctuations of a Level 2 Demon Hunter Honor Badge emanating from this dark wizard!

Green's eyes were filled with disbelief.

The Level 2 Demon Hunter Medal is ten or even a hundred times harder to obtain than the Level 3 Honor Medal.

Elite first-level demon wizards might have the chance to earn a third-level honor medal in the demon-hunting expedition through their wisdom, luck, and strength, but a second-level honor medal...

For a level one witcher, this is practically an impossible task, at least in Green's eyes.

The stronger you are, the greater your ability, the more opportunities you have to influence the course of events, and the more chances you have to obtain advanced honor medals.

It is far too difficult for a Level 1 Demon Hunter Wizard to lead an event that would earn them a Level 2 Demon Hunter Medal.

Even for level two or three demon hunter wizards, it is an extremely difficult and unattainable task for most people. A single misstep can be a test of life and death.

"Hehehehe, Kuyak, Lokiru, if you're going to compete with me for a spot in the Demon Hunter rankings, you have absolutely no chance in a head-on fight. Out of consideration for our past relationship, I won't kill you. You should just give up, hehehehe..."

After speaking to the two demon hunters with a sinister smile, the Three-Pepper Demon suddenly glanced coldly at Green with his dark red eyes.

Green felt his hair stand on end, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

This... this isn't some level one wizard! This is clearly a level two monster!

Perhaps these are the legendary first-level wizard geniuses among those witch hunters, who are said to be able to fight a second-level wizard head-on!

"Heh heh, little wizard, if you don't want to die, get the hell out of here right now!"

The three-peppered ghost coldly threatened Green, and his cruel aura left no room for doubt about his words.

If it were up to the original cold, cruel, and rational nature of the Dark Wizard Grimm, he probably would have turned around and left without saying a word, completely disregarding any issue of saving face.

To fight against an unmatched powerhouse when one's own strength is insufficient is an unwise and foolish choice.

However, at this moment, the belief in his heart and the unyielding persistence made Green stand still and not leave.

Beneath the gray flames atop the Three-Pepper Demon's head, its dark red eyes stared at Green, emanating a cruel and tyrannical killing intent.

This gaze is completely different from the gaze he gives to Kuyak and Lokiru, who are currently fighting. It is the killing intent of a dark wizard towards his enemies.

Kuyak and Loki had already decided to secretly contact that person to send Gabil to fight this terrifying guy together, hoping to earn a spot in the Demon Hunter competition.

But at this moment, Green's sudden appearance, coupled with his performance...

A glimmer of hope ignited in Kuyak's eyes!

"This witch-hunting wizard, if you can help us seize control of that dark wizard, I'm willing to pay the price of fifty witch essences!" Kuyak shouted to Green.

Green looked at Kouyak.

This witch looks very much like a young Bibi Leona; she is very innocent, but she is much wiser than Bibi Leona on the inside.

"Sir, I'll add fifty more witch essences to her reward, meaning if you can help us complete the mission, you'll receive one hundred witch essences!"

As if afraid that Green would run away, and at the same time faintly sensing the fluctuations of the Level 3 Demon Hunter Medal on Green's body, Luo Qilu actually shouted.

Green simply stood in the sky, seemingly making some kind of mental decision.

Seeing that Green showed no sign of leaving and seemed determined to kill, the Three-Pepper Demon was too lazy to say anything more. A semi-transparent bubble gradually floated up from the spinal bone magic staff in its hand.

Just as the Three-Pepper Ghost Witcher was about to unleash his magic and engage in battle with Grimm, Grimm suddenly shouted, "I want you to remove the hidden parasite implanted in a wizard apprentice. She is my wife, Raffi. What are your conditions?"

This completely stunned all the wizards present!

Hattori Hisō, who was the first to react, had a blazing fire of hope burning in his eyes. He had been in a state of despair, but now this hope suddenly burst forth.

Ignoring everything, Hattori Mizo fought off the giant net woven from the five phantom skulls while shouting in a hoarse voice.

"Are you Grin? Rescue me and guarantee my safe arrival in the Dark Domain. I'll be waiting for you there with Raffi!"
