Wizard's Journey

Chapter 361 The Gate to the World (Part 5)

Give up the resistance of ignorance?

To earn the respect of the great locust's will?

Why blame yourself for being born into such a lowly and filthy nest world?

Hearing those familiar words, Grimm, leaning on his ram-horned skull magic staff, stood on the back of the Thousand-Eyed Crab and let out a sinister, low laugh: "Hehehe, hehehehe..."

I didn't expect that.

When a creature from another world said such things to the wizard, Grimm found it both laughable and infuriating.

Enveloped in black flames, the guardian of the locust world shook his head slightly in disappointment as he watched Green's ignorant performance.

"Ignorant creature, perhaps you are indeed among the strongest in the Nest World, where you have no rivals. But in the eyes of the great Locust World, you are still nothing more than an insect that can be crushed at will."

After a pause, the guardian of the locust world said in a low and solemn voice, "You have no idea what true power is."

The guardian of the locust world spoke calmly, his eyes, shrouded in black flames, filled with pity.

Is this pity for the arrogance of ignorant creatures?

The guardian of the Locust World extended a finger, on which burned a black energy ball formed from the concentrated power of the Flame Soul. The energy ball seemed to resonate with the entire world, and Grimm faintly felt a kind of suppression, as if it were the suppression of the entire world.

It was only because he was too weak that, although he caused a slight ripple, the world's will could not find him as a target that needed to be suppressed.

"Did you see that?"

The guardian of the slug world continued calmly, "You are so weak... that you cannot even attract the attention of the world's will and the great fire god. The nest world that you regard as your life and your mission to protect is just one of the many low-level worlds enslaved by the great slug world."

With his eyes fixed on Green, the guardian of the locust world said with pity, "After hearing such devastating news, are you blaming the cruelty of fate, you poor thing?"

Beneath the Mask of Truth, the elemental flames within Grimm burned calmly as he gazed upon the guardian of the ephemeral world, and murmured, "Yes, fate is truly cruel!"

For some reason, Green was sighing.

Seeing that Green had not only not lost all will to resist, but had become even calmer, the guardian of the locust world became somewhat angry.

If it weren't for the terrifying energy still lingering in the eye sockets of that ram-horned skull...

Suppressing his disgust for this unknown and inferior creature from the nest world, the guardian of the locust world made one last effort to dissuade it: "Accept the arrangement of fate. Giving up ignorant resistance will reduce more suffering. The cruelty of fate? The fate of the endless world is indeed cruel, and your nest world is just an insignificant part of it."

"Hahahaha..."

Suddenly, Green could no longer bear the ridiculous scene and burst into unrestrained, arrogant laughter.

Shouldn't these words be spoken by our future selves?

But this world guardian told him in advance!

Slowly, Green extended a hand covered in scales and bone spurs, pointed at the Locust World Guardian, and burst into loud laughter, a laugh so maniacal and irrational.

Seeing Green gradually sink into the final state of "despair" and seemingly lose the will to resist, the guardian of the locust world breathed a sigh of relief.

A full half minute had passed.

Green gradually stopped his unrestrained and arrogant laughter, and stood atop the thousand-eyed crab's shell, braving the wind.

The vast scene gradually became extremely quiet, with only the World Gate behind Grimm emitting a dim and intermittent light, faintly emanating waves of alien fluctuations from the Nest World.

"Put down your bone staff, submit to the will of the great locust, and you will experience the wonder of eternal life and death!" the World Guardian roared.

It was so righteous and justified.

Grimm slowly raised the ram-horned skull magic staff in his hand, his eyes calm yet cruel beneath the mask of truth, and said, "To submit to fate's arrangement? To abandon ignorant resistance? Such cruelty in the endless world is merely an insignificant part?"

Green's rhetorical question gradually turned into a cruel, wicked laugh.

"Hehehe, hehehehe..."

Gradually, the guardians of the slug world sensed something was amiss. After sending a soul ripple, the numerous slugs surrounding the gate to the world retreated slightly.

Green stood proudly, with an extremely calm appearance, but his eyes were looking anxiously at the two hundred-meter-high black flames in the distance.

Did the mission fail?

Even so, is it still impossible to attract the attention of those two world rulers?

With an overwhelming bitterness in his heart, Grimm was like an old man enjoying the last rays of the setting sun. Behind him, the Flame Giant slowly stood up. As if sensing the bitterness in Grimm's heart and his determination to complete the mission, the Flame Giant roared loudly!

Roar……

The black and gold flames burned fiercely, as if they were blooming with their own glory. The giant of ferocious flames roared deafeningly from its chest and back, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

"Hmm? This elemental creature..."

The guardian of the locust world had only been startled for a moment when, as if sensing something, it roared angrily and horrifiedly, "Scatter!"

call……

The millions of swarms of locusts that had been surrounding the gates of the world seemed to have been prepared, and they scattered with a roar.

As a pure black, cold, brutal, and sinister energy beam erupted, the next moment, all the locusts that were not harmed by the energy beam surged towards the last few soul slave monsters and Grin who were barely surviving in front of the Gate of the World.

It was like a gigantic maw that blotted out the sky, ready to devour everything in front of the gates of the world.

Standing on the back of the Thousand-Eyed Crab, Green looked up at the almost dark sky, a scene of apocalypse where the sunlight was completely blocked by densely packed locust-men.

Beneath the surface of truth, he gritted his teeth and persisted with Lin, waiting patiently, refusing to retreat even a step.

This scene truly resembles that of a "world master" who is powerless to protect the world, unwilling to see his world enslaved by alien creatures, and determined to completely sacrifice himself.

"Lord Grin..."

The Thousand-Eyed Crab seemed to sense its impending death, extending its last claw to protect Green. In its hundreds of eyes flowed the deep reluctance of a soul slave under the control of a wizard to survive in this beautiful world.

Green did not speak, but stood in front of the Gate of the World, resolutely refusing to take a single step back.

Since Green did not give the order to retreat, the soul slaves dared not have any feelings that disobeyed the wizard's will.

The several soul slave monsters beside the giant crab let out their final, tragic roars and charged headlong into the endless swarm of locusts.

Is it stupid?

Despair?

"Roar! You foolish, lowly creature! You're courting death! Get out of my way!"

Suddenly, a majestic and angry voice erupted, and countless locust-men, terrified, were guided by the "divine will" and scattered across the sky once more.

A ball of black flame, over a hundred meters long, rippled with an oppressive force that seemed to encompass the entire world, and swooped down toward Green.

Those locusts that failed to "follow the divine decree" in time were knocked away by the great Darkfire God to experience the wonder of eternal life and death.

Within the dark flames of the Dark Flame God, a cold, brutal, and sinister aura emerged, flickering erratically.

This was actually the aura that Green had released after unleashing his second burst of Black Chain Essence!

It turns out that Green's target was not any locusts, but the world rulers of two locust worlds in the extremely distant sky.

As the capital of the Darkborn Empire, the Darkborn Flame God naturally withstood Grin's Black Rope Essence shockwave without hesitation.

Although he was not harmed in any substantial way, the Dark Flame God felt as if he had been greatly provoked and despised, both in terms of his behavior and dignity, by a tiny insect!

This is the wrath of God!

All the locusts surrounding the gates of the world were utterly horrified; the wrath of the gods was devastating!

The locusts that had filled the vast sky were completely dispersed, and a huge black fireball, resembling a falling star, emitted terrifying spatial ripples that spread out continuously, one after another.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump...

The last few soul slave monsters that had charged headlong into the endless locusts were instead sent flying thousands of meters away by the black fireballs that grazed their sides, before crashing to the ground of the Flame Soul World.

Those who were directly struck by the Dark Flame God's black fireball were instantly pulverized, turning into a rain of blood that was then evaporated completely, leaving no trace.

These are all level three soul slave monsters!

Before the black fireball even arrived, Green, who was targeted by the Dark Flame God, was rushed to his side and squeezed by a tremendous force, causing the bone armor and scales on his body to make a "crunching" sound.

The bones inside his body were also being compressed by a tremendous force, making it difficult for him to breathe.

In utter horror, Green only had time to react by saying, "So fast," before he was enveloped by a ball of black flames.

"what……"

Green screamed in agony, struggling but unable to escape the black flames. Even his spatial teleportation ability, which shared the same original coordinates as Xiao Ba, was disrupted.

That's right, the other party is a powerful being who can manipulate souls!

A final bitterness seemed to appear in Green's eyes.

"Is this... this level of difficulty in completing the Level One Demon Hunter Honor Medal and changing the course of the Demon Hunter Expedition world war?"

The so-called first-class honor medal is difficult because it changes the entire war situation of the Demon Hunter Expedition world. For most of the top level three Demon Hunter Wizards, this is almost an impossible task.

The ivory spikes and black scales on Grimm's body began to melt, and streaks of dark flames tried to penetrate his body.

In despair, with his last ounce of will, Grimm looked back towards the Gate of the World and roared, "Thousand-Eyed Crab, go back..."

"Lord Grin..."

The Thousand-Eyed Crab's hundreds of eyes shone with a moving light of its own independent wisdom. After a low, mournful cry, it quickly retreated into the Gate of the World.

One more monthly pass needed for an extra chapter!
