Wizard's Journey

Chapter 360 The Gate to the World (Part 4)

Bang!

The figure of Grimm, covered in grayish-white bone spurs, moved with incredible speed. Beneath the Mask of Truth, his elemental eyes transformed into two afterimages as he moved at incredible speed. His ram-horned skull slammed into a locust world guardian enveloped in black flames.

With a loud "bang!"

The large black flames dissipated, and as Grimm turned into a cloud of yellow sand, he easily dodged the black flame beam of the world's guardian.

The yellow sand gathered again, and in an instant, several afterimages shot over.

"This! This is..."

One of the afterimages was a level two locust leader, whose sword was burning with the dark, ghostly power of black flames. He was now more than ten meters away from Green, and his sword was ready to strike at any moment.

However, at this moment, the locust seemed to see not the powerful and terrifying otherworldly creature, but its own eyes filled with a murderous intent.

next moment.

A ram's horn and skull came crashing down, but the will to fight to the death instantly snapped the locust back to reality. In a panic, he drew his sword and charged forward at speeds exceeding his limits.

Never before have I wielded the sword so perfectly, or manipulated the power of the Flame Soul so exquisitely!

This……

This fighting spirit...

I've broken through! I've finally broken through!

The locust shrieked with delight, filled with boundless joy, for its sword will, which had stagnated for hundreds of years, had finally broken through once again!

hum!

As a high-density shockwave emanated from the ram's horn skull, the fiery soul power on the locust's blade scattered with a "whoosh," and the blade vanished like grains of sand in the wind.

"this……"

The locust stared blankly at the two-colored eyes of ice and fire beneath the gray-white mask above its head. They were so cold and ruthless, without a ripple, like a pool of stagnant water in a deep abyss, or like solid ice that had stood for ten thousand years.

puff……

The locust transformed into a cloud of blood mist, which dissipated with the wind.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Five afterimages slashed towards Grimm. Without the wizard's shield, these blades, carrying powerful attack force, pierced through the jellyfish-like elemental layer and even the flame layer below, striking the ivory-armored bone spikes.

Ding, ding, ding, ding.

Four metallic scraping sounds were accompanied by a crisp "bang." A section of the bone spur on Green's body was severed, revealing bone armor beneath it. The attack power of these individuals was far from sufficient to break through the ivory armor at a temperature of 5,000 degrees.

The severed bone spur fell to the ground.

Bang!

Suddenly, dozens of ice spikes shot out from Green's body with a cannon blast. The afterimages that attacked Green were all shocked and flew backward dozens of meters at an incredible speed. Only one person was grazed by the ice spikes.

"Be careful, this monster is likely a terrifying creature that has recently emerged from the lair!"

distance.

The powerful Level 3 Locust Saint, who had severed the Green Ivory Armored Bone Spikes, held his sword and stared intently at the monster from the Nest World before him, muttering softly with a hint of solemnity in his voice.

This terrifying creature, though not a god, is already incredibly powerful, like a monster.

Having successively defeated Saint Santa and Saint Bolong, and even fatally killing the renowned Saint Yimo with a single blow, he is now besieged by over a hundred Locust Commanders and Locust Saints, and even a mysterious Locust Guardian has personally appeared...

Not only were they unable to do anything about it, but they were also slaughtered indiscriminately!

Despite such demonic power, which could be a deadly enemy at any moment, he held the title of Saint King in his heart.

The Nest World has actually evolved such a peerless talent in just a few hundred years. If given another thousand years, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes a great god.

Strange indeed, he was fighting against the will of the great locust!

Although he had enjoyed a period of glory, he was now a dead man, and no one could save him. His path to advancement had come to an end.

"what……"

A level-two locust commander who had just attacked Green suddenly screamed in agony.

The level-two locust leader had a hunched back, and the tissues beneath his green skin were constantly writhing, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

"No!"

The level-two locust leader desperately controlled the power of the Flame Soul to suppress the abnormality in his body, raised his head to look at Green, and let out a desperate cry.

A hand covered in bony barbs on its scales slowly emerged.

"Alienation Field!"

As the hand, covered in barbs and bony scales, clenched tightly, a cold and ruthless voice emanated from beneath the mask of truth, the eyes utterly indifferent.

The hunched-over level-two locust leader's body seemed to melt away, suddenly transforming into hundreds and thousands of independent wriggling organs and tentacles, which intertwined and devoured each other.

His entire body completely disintegrated and collapsed, falling from the sky.

"Ah! You monster!"

Another Locust Saint, who had witnessed the tragedy, attacked from afar. His eyes were filled with a murderous intent and burning with fierce fighting spirit. His sword was engulfed in flames that stretched for over thirty meters. He pierced through the air as he arrived.

call out!

The two ram horns at the top of the Grimm's Ram Horned Skull Magic Wand, one a fire element and the other an ice element, formed a dark red energy ball in just one breath.

The dark red energy ball flashed by, transforming into a dark red beam of light that shot towards the Locust Saint.

boom!

The sword, burning with the power of a raging fiery soul, struck the dark red energy beam with unerring accuracy. The rolling, inextinguishable flames were cut in two by the sword and slid to the sides of the locust saint.

"what……"

However, the Locust Saint himself was also blasted away by the impact of the Grim Burst Flame, and had to retreat hundreds of meters before fleeing in a sorry state from a ball of rolling, burning, inextinguishable flames.

This seemed like just a trivial interlude.

Beneath the Mask of Truth, Grimm's Ice Eyes pointed to the left and Fire Eyes to the right. In an extremely cold and rational battle state, after quickly analyzing the battle information, the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff in his hand burst into flames with a "whoosh".

"Repulsive force!"

With a "whoosh," the Ram Horned Skull Magic Wand was swung fiercely by Grimm, and rolling flames, driven by a powerful repulsive force, formed a large cloud of fire, dyeing the surrounding sky red. Several locusts that had approached were forced to retreat rapidly.

"This...this is the state of being half-step into time? It's so wonderful..."

Beneath Green's extremely rational fighting spirit lay a hint of intoxication and enjoyment.

So this is how time changes in the eyes of higher-level life forms?

Although the body must also obey the rules of the endless world, the mind seems to speed up, creating a feeling as if time has slowed down.

This state is incredibly useful, whether for experimental research or combat.

Just as Green used the dynamic vision of the Endless Eye to observe the pulsating lightning patterns on the cross-section of a broken branch, this is the advantage of controlling time!

Without this kind of condition, even with Green's significant improvement in all his basic abilities, he simply couldn't achieve this level.

"Lord Green, watch out!"

The Thousand-Eyed Crab roared, and hundreds of red threads from its eyes converged into a thick red beam of light, shooting towards a Locust Saint.

"Hmph, Soul Blade Slash!"

The locust saint held an extremely wide sword blade. He glanced at the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab, one of the last few enormous monsters guarding the Gate of the World, and swung the sword with the power of the Flaming Soul.

The surging power of the fiery soul canceled out the red beam of light from the Thousand-Eyed Crab in mid-air.

Turning his head, the cold eyes beneath the mask of truth resembled the pupils of a demon. Grimm slowly looked at the locust saint who was about to ambush him. With a "poof," his body turned into rolling yellow sand and vanished.

"No!"

The locust saint was horrified, feeling a chill run down his spine as a terrifying crisis loomed over him.

The terrifying power of this monster from the Nest World far exceeded my understanding of the Saint level. Being targeted by it like this was extremely bad.

After quickly scanning the battlefield, the Locust Saint was shocked. He had just tried to launch a sneak attack on the enemy, but now he had strayed too far from his companions and had no one around to help him immediately.

Driven by combat instinct, the locust saint immediately swung his sword backward.

boom!

The power of the Flame Soul and the power of the Undying Flame canceled each other out and exploded. Under the recoil, the Locust Saint was forced to retreat rapidly, creating distance. The black flames burning above his head suddenly surged, and a black flame face with an angry expression, more than ten meters long, appeared.

"roar!"

The black flame head roared towards the center of the explosion, and the surging soul power transformed into a shockwave.

With a "poof," the gray-white mask burst out of the flames, but the eyes beneath it remained as calm as ever.

The shockwave of soul power caused the blurry yellow sand surrounding Green's body to dissipate, but he seemed unaffected. Several fire bees instantly formed on the ram's horn skull, their wings flapping rapidly as they shot towards the locust saint in a flash.

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

Massive waves of fire exploded, each explosion sending out shockwaves of 1,500 degrees Celsius. In the blink of an eye, the Locust Saint was engulfed in the sea of ​​fire.

The Elemental Eyes burned with a fierce light, leaving afterimages like two devilish ribbons. Grimm, wielding the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff, was about to rush into the sea of ​​fire to try and kill this Locust Saint.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Green's body once again turned into a cloud of yellow sand.

The next moment, Green appeared on the back of the Thousand-Eyed Crab. With a loud bang, the Ram-Horned Nightmare Magic Staff blocked a black flame shockwave. The huge impact made Green hunch his body slightly, but he stubbornly held on until the Ram-Horned Nightmare Magic Staff completely neutralized the black flame shockwave.

"Lord Grin..."

The Thousand-Eyed Crab was left with only one claw, and the brownish-red hair on its back was charred black. It murmured in a low, painful voice.

"Give up your ignorant resistance."

Enveloped in the power of a world thirty meters of black flames, the locust world guardian, who had already reached the peak of the third level of creature level, spoke calmly from his high vantage point.

"Strong one from the Nest World, your indomitable will has earned the respect of the Great Locust Will. It's your own fault for being born into the inferior Nest World… Abandon your ignorant resistance, for the Great Locust Will is beyond your power to resist. The Great Locust Will will crush all enemies before you; the Nest World is beyond your ability to protect."

Beside this guardian of the world, hundreds of locust saints stood in a row, and millions of second-level locust commanders and first-level locust warriors, densely packed and blotting out the sky, completely surrounded Grin and the last few desperate soul slave monsters.

In the eyes of all the locusts, Green was merely a top-tier, victorious creature attempting to protect its nest world.

Behind the Thousand-Eyed Crab, a hundred-meter-long world gate connecting to the nest world emitted a faint light. It was tightly guarded by Grin, who would not allow any low-level locusts to enter.

This is Green's mission!
