Wizard's Journey

Chapter 305 The Face of Truth: Phase Two

Time flies like water, and year after year has passed.

On this day, in front of the giant experimental table, Grimm was using a quill pen dipped in precious magical ink to draw runes on the fully extended surface of Truth.

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

The mechanical clock's gears kept turning, while the automatic hourglass in the distance emitted a soft "shh, shh" sound, as if accompanying Green, who was focused on his work.

Meticulous, Green quickly dipped his quill into the magic ink and continued drawing the runes.

thump...

Suddenly, the mechanical clock chimed, signaling the completion of the solid-state transformation of the high-density energy block in the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder.

After waking up as if from a dream, Green sighed and put down the quill pen in his hand.

"There are only seven years left until the two-hundred-year limit of the Wizarding World is reached. Not to mention the second phase of the Chimera experiment, or even the second phase of the Face of Truth project, the two wizarding spells I originally planned to complete, Eye of the Boundless and Eye of the Eagle, I can only barely complete Eye of the Boundless now."

He rubbed his temples.

Green wasted no more time sighing, gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked towards the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder.

"It seems that we can only push the Eagle Eye Project into the third phase of the Face of Truth Project and carry it out together with the Microscopic Eye."

Inside the crystal container of the 15-meter-tall Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation and Recording Instrument, the high-density energy gel block has completed its reaction, transforming completely from a liquid into a solid.

Over the decades, Green has conducted countless experiments and observations using this auxiliary experimental instrument. Now, Green is certain that his understanding of the nature of annihilation energy has reached the limit of the ancient wizards' knowledge.

Of course, this is only limited to this level of understanding; Green has not made any breakthrough progress.

What should be used as a carrier for this terrifying energy?

hum...

As the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder was activated, the energy of the eighteen water element bases above and the eighteen fire element bases below clashed, producing a deafening roar, and the ground began to tremble slightly with a rumbling sound.

Under the indescribable pressure inside the instrument, the light inside the Demon Hunter Castle began to distort and was sucked into the crystal vessel.

In an instant, the annihilating power within the instrument resembled a black hole that devoured everything, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.

Three seconds passed, and everything in the laboratory returned to normal.

Green picked up his experimental notebook and began to record in detail. Nowadays, Green's experimental records were just out of instinct. In practical terms, such experimental observations were no longer of much significance to Green's understanding of annihilation energy.

At first, the myna bird would come over curiously to watch Green's annihilation experiments. However, as Green repeated the experiments day after day, the myna bird's initial excitement and curiosity turned into boredom and tedium, and now it has even turned into disgust and aversion.

And so, this guy started going to Millie's place to play every day...

one year later.

As Grimm finished drawing the last elemental rune on the surface of truth that extended from the testing platform, the self-contained magic circle began to shine.

The artwork for the Boundless Eye is finally complete!

Following the Ultrasonic Positioning Spell and the Eye of the Dark Spell, the third perception-based spell of the Face of Truth, Grimm's Spell, has been completed.

I was very tired, but also very excited.

After decades of effort, Green finally pushed the face of truth forward once again, completely mastering Peranos as the endless eye that transmits knowledge.

Green vaguely remembered the instructions his mentor gave him when he solemnly received the Endless Eye Inheritance Scroll, telling him to pass on the knowledge.

Taking a deep breath, Green activated the magic at his fingertips. With a "squeak," the metal layer that had spread out like a thin sheet of white paper instantly closed and gathered, transforming back into the form of the Surface of Truth.

Solemnly, Green put on the mask of truth.

As for inheriting the knowledge of the Endless Eye?

Before Green added his own unique perception-based sorcery to the Endless Eye's legacy, how could Green have the nerve to take on a disciple and tell him, "This is the knowledge passed down from your mentor's mentor and your mentor's mentor's mentor"?

What if a disciple were to ask, "Master, what about you?"

Close your eyes, then open them again.

In an instant, as Green's pupils transformed into snake eyes, the entire world before him changed.

In the incredibly blurry green world, as the heat emanating from the magic lamps gradually revealed a faint red hue, a slight deep red appeared on the outstretched palm. There was a clear distinction between the heat from the blood vessels and the red of the muscles in the palm.

The most fiery red was the eighteen bases belonging to the fire crystal energy on the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder, which were almost a blinding red.

After a while, Green, who had gradually adapted to the vision of the Boundless Eye, muttered to himself, "Is this the thermal vision? Although it's unique, it's actually somewhat inferior to the human's perception of light."

This kind of perception magic is completely useless in places like the Lava Heart Lake in the Shadow Mystery world.

However, if it is a saliva barrier made of cauliflower, it is possible to sense the approaching Amonro within the saliva barrier.

In short, this witchcraft has many benefits, but also great limitations, and the key lies in the witch's control and mastery of it.

"Then, we must immediately begin preparations for this demon-hunting expedition. Let's see how Millie is doing."

With that, Green left the Demon Hunter Castle and headed toward Millie's Demon Hunter Castle next door.

Boom, boom.

After knocking on the door, Millie came out, along with her chuckled myna bird perched on her shoulder.

"Giggle, young master!"

Upon seeing Green, the myna bird flew to his shoulder, while Millie smiled, nodded to Green, and then invited him into the Demon Hunter's Castle.

"No."

Green declined Millie's invitation and then asked, "I need to register as a demon hunter. What about you?"

Millie returned to the wizarding world nearly twenty years later than Green, and she was far from the deadline for her final demon-hunting expedition. After hesitating for a while, Millie frowned and sighed, "I'm afraid we can't go on the demon-hunting expedition together this time. One of my experiments is at its most critical stage."

Nodding, Green also sighed and said, "Well then, be careful."

"The same to you."

Millie smiled slightly and waved goodbye to the myna bird.

After saying goodbye to Millie, Green flew straight to the Dark Division of the Witch Hunters and quickly registered as a witch hunter.

Moments later, Green received the assignment for the Demon Hunting Expedition.

"Only nine months? That's a bit tight..."

After hesitating for a moment, Green gritted his teeth and said, "We can only sell some resources first to gather enough for two sets of low-level demon hunter weapons."

In the world of Shadows and Mysteries, Grimm deeply experienced the pain of depleted magic.

A few days later, after selling the Nature Soul of the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon, Green obtained a batch of Witch Essence. He then immediately purchased two sets of low-level Demon Hunter Armor and kept some Witch Essence for possible transactions during his expedition to the foreign lands.

As for the Nature Soul material needed for the second phase of the Synthetic Beast experiment, Grimm also has the Crystal Turtle Nature Soul.

Since Grimm was still in the experimental stage of accumulating knowledge about chimeras, and chimeras were still consumables, there were no strict requirements for experimental materials.

Thus, Green returned to the Demon Hunter Castle, quietly awaiting the arrival of his second Demon Hunter Expedition mission.
