Wizard's Journey

Chapter 402 The Face of Truth: Phase Three

Amidst the endless beeping of the "Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder" at Green Demon Hunter Castle, time passed day by day, and more than thirty years went by in the blink of an eye.

There has been no news of Vivian advancing to become a formal wizard at the Seven Rings Tower.

"Young Master, those wailing dust particles just now offered a slight resistance to the annihilation power!"

Beside the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder, Little Eight on Green's shoulder cried out in surprise.

"Um."

Green nodded, but only marked the dust with a yellow circle in his lab notebook. Following the notes, he mixed the next material, golden core grass root, into the high-concentration energy glue, poured it into the instrument, and waited for the high-concentration energy glue to gradually turn into a solid.

I flipped through my notes casually.

Over the years, even though Green relaxed the requirements for the materials recorded in his notes a little, materials like howling dust still only had three yellow circles on his experimental notes.

Of course, even these materials are far from meeting the requirements for using the power of annihilation.

Fortunately, through years of experimentation, Green has gained a considerable understanding of the properties of various basic materials, which has greatly helped his knowledge of alchemy.

As for the materials that had not yet been tested in the experimental notes at this time, there were only about sixty kinds left.

"Phew, it seems that besides the 'Flame Soul True Scripture,' I'll have to do everything in my power to plunder resources for future annihilation energy experiments during this trip to the Flame Soul World. Even with just over 300,000 basic materials, it's already consuming so many resources; imagine the bottomless pit of synthetic materials..."

Green could hardly imagine it.

There's no turning back now; the closer Green gets to success, the slimmer his hopes become, almost to the point of despair.

It's despair-inducing.

……

Three years later.

"Finally finished before the Demon Hunter Expedition!"

Green let out a soft sigh of relief.

On the enormous experimental platform, the raw material of the Face of Truth, which had been transformed into alien essence, spread out like paper, covered with densely packed runes that crisscrossed horizontally and vertically.

Overall, these runes are divided into four main categories: ultrasonic detection magic, endless eyes, and the newly completed Eagle Eye rune integration array.

A magical force gently touched the unfolding surface of truth at the fingertips.

In an instant, the face of truth, which resembled a giant sheet of paper unfolding, closed and gathered together, and the gray-white spiral pattern of the face of truth was perfectly presented once again!

With immense anticipation, Grimm picked up the Mask of Truth and put it on his face.

As the eyes beneath the mask slowly opened, a pair of eyes of ice and fire burst into flames with a whoosh.

After a surge of magical energy activated the Eagle Eye deep within the mask, Grimm's Ice Eye underwent some changes, and an eagle's eye gradually appeared.

Through the crystal glass windows of the Demon Hunter Castle, Green gazed into the distance.

Bubbles soaring high in the sky, giant eagles, bizarre mechanical devices, millions of demon-hunting castles scattered in the distance, and the towering Tree of Life...

Suddenly, Green's field of vision not only became farther away, but also wider.

However, Hawkeye's ability does not allow him to clearly see everything at the farthest distance. Instead, it gives Green a blurred view of even more distant places, allowing him to distinguish general outlines beyond the limits of his previous vision.

Drawing upon the power of nature, Green flew out of the Demon Hunter Castle and conducted experiments to verify the abilities of the Face of Truth and the Eye of the Eagle.

It took a full five hourglasses to complete.

Working from dawn till dusk, Green obtained a series of Hawkeye data.

Sitting at the experimental table, Green opened the experimental notes of the "Project Face of Truth" and meticulously recorded the experimental steps and data of "Eagle Eye".

As the name suggests, Eagle Eye is a form of witchcraft developed by wizards using the far-sightedness of eagle eyes. It is one of the most common perceptual witchcrafts among wizards, stemming from their desire to collect cognitive information.

The Eagle Vision involves a range of knowledge, including pupil element sensing, visual contraction and relaxation, and neural imaging...

If it weren't for the fact that the perception magic in the wizarding world has been developed to an extremely high level, in reality, the complexity and difficulty of this magic would be no less than that of the Boundless Eye and the Eye of the Endless Eye.

In the wizarding world, under bright sunlight during the day, due to elemental ripples and dust obscuring vision, the average human visual range is between one hundred and three thousand meters.

The Eagle Eye ability that Green developed at this time increased the basic field of vision limit to ten kilometers.

After 10 kilometers, the field of vision shrinks by a quarter for every 5 kilometers increase in altitude. At the same time, the blurring rate decreases accordingly based on the level of mental strength. No limit to the field of vision has been found yet.

Naturally, even Hawkeye sorcery comes in various versions.

Because different wizards have different physical constitutions and different approaches to developing knowledge, the effects of the wizarding arts they develop will also be different.

Overall, however, the Eagle Eye spell, which took Green a century to develop, was quite successful, at least for Green during his time as a formal wizard.

"Although I have received verbal support from the Black Sota Saint Mark Wizard for this expedition to the Flame Soul World, I still have to be careful because I once aroused so much hatred from the Locust People at the World Gate between the Flame Soul World and the Nest World, and now that I no longer have the support of the source of magic."

Thinking this, Green looked at the remaining three hundred or so witch spirits in his dimensional gap.

"Hmm, there's still so much left. Looks like I can buy some self-defense tools."

With that in mind, Green took out the Shadow Starfall, called to Little Eight, and flew directly towards the nest beneath the Tree of Life.

First, he used a full one hundred witch essences to purchase a set of intermediate-level demon hunter equipment.

Such behavior is already considered extremely extravagant for a level one demon hunter.

With the magical support provided by the intermediate-level demon hunters, even if a shadow catastrophe occurs in the Shadow Mystery world, as long as Grimm conserves some magical power, he will be able to handle it.

In a luxurious shop in the underground lair, Green hesitated between a small green bottle and a black explosive bomb.

The small green bottle is called the Sound of Sorap.

This is a hallucinogen produced by a high-level apothecary. It can have some effect on creatures with a constitution of less than 1,000, that is, those below level 3, depending on their resistance. It is a good thing for saving lives and only requires 25 witch essences.

The black explosive projectile is called a molten oil reaction ball.

The fusion oil reaction ball's central explosion point can unleash a 5,000-degree attack in one go, with a blast radius of 70 meters. The explosive power weakens continuously from the center point to the edges, and beyond 70 meters, the power is reduced to only one-tenth, or 500 degrees. It is priced at 100 witch spirits.

Having experienced the thrill of instantly killing a powerful level 3 creature with the essence of the Blackthorn, Green naturally preferred the direct attack of the Molten Oil Reaction Ball.

However, firstly, the release speed and attack range of this fused oil reaction ball cannot be compared with the essence of the Black Tortoise, let alone its power.

Secondly, Greene will indeed need the support of a large number of witch spirits to successfully conduct the annihilation energy experiment in the future.

With the need to cut costs and increase revenue, Green can only save money now.

Finally, Grimm, his face masked by truth, said in a deep voice, "I want two bottles of Sorap's Voice."

……

one year later.

Grimm, Vicky, Solem, Millie, and Kredia gather at Grimm's Demon Hunter Castle, each a different demon hunter.

Green's mystery, Wiki's domineering nature, Solem's enigmatic nature, Millie's icy coldness, and Comidea's alluring and bewitching charm.

But without a doubt, Green, who possesses the Medal of Honor Level 1 fluctuation, has become the core of the five-man team.

"Our first mission in this demon-hunting expedition to the Flame Soul World is to obtain the 'Flame Soul True Scripture.' I won't go into the details of the contract, but once we succeed, I will personally reward you with one hundred witch essences according to the contract. In addition, the Flame Soul World is a world that a seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard has designated to be completely destroyed. I cannot disclose the specific reasons, so don't even try to capture slaves in that world. What we need to do is plunder, kill, and destroy."

After Green finished speaking in a low voice, his two-colored eyes beneath the mask of truth looked at the others.

"Huh? Completely destroyed!"

Beneath his bald head and golden crown, Wiki, who resembled a granite giant, flashed a giant hammer in his hand and burst into laughter.

"It's actually a world personally overseen by a seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard. It seems there must be some extraordinary secrets in this world. Green, we agreed beforehand that besides fighting for that 'Flame Soul True Scripture' for you, I'm going to thoroughly search the Flame Soul World for the secrets that make this world so feared by the seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard."

the other side.

Solem looked up and said, "Green, if possible, I hope you can use the information you have to uncover some hidden missions related to the Medal of Honor for me. I can pay you extra."

Green paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll do my best."

Millie thought for a moment and then asked, "If I want to obtain a copy of the 'Flame Soul True Scripture' from you in the future, what price would I need to pay?"

Without hesitation, Green replied, "It depends. I'll offer a price if you need it."

Finally, there's Cretia.

"Hehe, Green, how about I accompany you on this demon-hunting expedition as your wife, helping you complete the mission together?"

Beneath the veneer of truth, Green's expression darkened: "I already have a wife."

"Laffey? But... she's already dead."

Cretia, with her pleading yet alluring gaze, sat beside Millie, a stark contrast to her usual demeanor.

Green said coldly, "You investigated me?"

"Oh, they're just concerned about you. Alright, at worst, we'll treat each other as friends. You know, I really miss the days when you swept through the five regions in the Holy Tower Qualifying Tournament."

Cressia is an extremely intelligent and enigmatic witch, a fact that Green has never denied.

Otherwise, among the five people, this woman wouldn't be the only one besides himself to have received the Level 3 Medal of Honor.

Presumably, the way this medal of honor was obtained is similar to how I obtained it through the camphor worm; both are manifestations of wisdom rather than strength.

Green looked at Cretia cautiously.

"Regardless of your purpose, I will only allow you to stay by my side for the first thirty years after you descend into the Flame Soul World. After that, I will be conducting some secret explorations."

"it is good."

Cretia readily agreed.

Green increasingly felt that Kreta must have discovered something about him.

Millie suddenly asked curiously, "Green, where's Yagiri Vivi?"

Green coughed twice and said, "He went out to play with a parrot. Let's ignore it for now and go."
