Wizard's Journey

Chapter 427 The War to Annihilate the Dark Empire (19)

"Heh heh, it's actually a rare entity formed from willpower?"

The eerie green soul fire in the eye sockets of the skull of the Bone Clock Tower Saint Mark Wizard seemed to have penetrated through the source of darkness within the frozen nest and surrounding it, piercing through some of the essence of this azure ice flame giant claw, and let out a low "heh heh heh" laugh.

The Skull Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard said calmly, "Open the seal. This is just the surface; there should be something more interesting inside."

"Appearance?"

The Level 3 Demon Hunter Wizard behind the Skull Bell Tower Stigmata Wizard murmured in surprise, this giant claw that he had sensed as the aura of the Lord of the World was actually being described as an illusion.

Appearances are the outward manifestation of truth, and in the wisdom of wizards, they represent the deception of rules.

Taking a deep breath, the third-level Grand Wizard dared not question anything further. After issuing a series of orders to the 10,000-strong formation behind him, dozens of wizards flew down, braving the azure flames that occasionally emanated from the Ice Bee Nest.

These wizards are all proficient in architectural structures, energy observation, energy hub exchange, and sealing techniques.

These wizards are clearly planning to use a more sophisticated method to open this frozen nest, and it's anyone's guess what kind of monster they will unleash.

The other witch hunters looked around at the surrounding space outside the deep, sealed, ice-bound nest.

The original size of this deep sealed space is unknown. At this moment, the ice-sealed nest is completely surrounded by glaciers, which are blue and white, and the cold air flows down from top to bottom like a waterfall.

Several witch-hunting wizards skilled in perception, reconnaissance, and detection flew toward these glaciers.

"Um?"

Once the opaque, condensed portion of the glacier's surface is removed, countless tiny creatures lie frozen beneath, peacefully dormant.

These creatures are as white as snow, their bodies resemble snakes with two claws, and their length ranges from a few centimeters to several meters. They have duck-like beaks and appear harmless.

Several demon hunter wizards used their own methods to retrieve some biological specimens from the glacier and delivered them to the squad leader.

The Skull Bell Tower Stigmata Wizard glanced at the biological specimens briefly, seemingly confirming his judgment. He nodded and paid no further attention, his eerie green soul fire silently watching the Demon Hunter Wizards busily surrounding the Frozen Nest.

Time passed, and almost an hourglass period of time went by.

The Level 3 Demon Hunter Wizard behind the Bone Clock Tower Saint Mark Wizard nodded to the intelligence officer beside him before turning to face the Bone Clock Tower Saint Mark Wizard.

"This frozen nest is merely an illusion; it's an ice garment formed by the cold energy released from that illusion. The true seal lies within the ice layer."

"Oh? It seems the unexpected gains in this world are quite substantial."

The Stigmata Wizard of the Bone Bell Tower continued to wait patiently.

Click, click, click, click, click...

After a series of dull thuds, it seemed that the weakest point of the Frozen Nest had been breached, and cracks began to appear on the entire Frozen Nest, which then connected and spread rapidly.

Bang!

The Frozen Nest seemed to have reached its limit. With a loud, explosive sound, the towering Frozen Nest collapsed like a colossal building, with large chunks of ice crystals spreading and crumbling in all directions, accompanied by a chilling aura.

The sounds of ice blocks crashing together were incessant.

At the same time, the sky full of azure ice flames seemed to suddenly disappear, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the mysterious azure light cluster that was imprisoned by thousands of fiery red chains.

This ball of light was only the size of a fist, and it seemed to be some kind of spiritual will, or a unique life form in another form.

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

It sounded like a heartbeat that was gradually awakening.

Click, click, click...

At the same time, as the frozen nest collapsed, the harmless little creatures in the surrounding glaciers opened their eyes and began to struggle violently, trying to break free from the glaciers.

Meanwhile, the Stigmata Wizard of the Bone Bell Tower seemed to be communicating with this ball of light in some special way.

"Hehehehe, the world lord of the Nest World? Divided into several parts and sealed within several ancient sealing arrays in this world as a source of freezing power? Interesting, very interesting! Hehehehehehe..."

He laughed loudly.

Suddenly, the Skull Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard vanished from his spot in a flash, and the next moment he appeared in the middle of a series of fiery red chains, his bone sword emitting black aura as it moved and swung around.

Ding, ding, ding, ding...

The sounds of metal clashing and rubbing were incessant as chains were severed one by one by the bone sword of the Skull Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard.

Each time the chains are severed, a "whoosh" sound is heard, and a large amount of fire essence spreads out, reacting with the surrounding towering glaciers and disappearing as natural elements.

As the last fiery chain was severed, the Skull Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard stood in the air and laughed loudly.

"Hehehehe, awaken, Snowworm will!"

Boom!

Thousands upon thousands of snow nematodes, born from the melting of the surrounding glaciers, began to converge and surround this ball of light, vaguely forming a giant claw that was a hundred meters long.

This giant claw, which is as thick as a grain of rice, looks exactly like a snow worm claw magnified countless times.

However, it only had this one bare paw.

Amidst the bewildered gazes of the skeletal clock tower and numerous demon hunters, the giant claw continued to struggle desperately, as if an invisible, mysterious chain was performing its final restraint.

As the giant snow worm claw struggled more and more intensely, gradually, a pure black thread that seemed to have absorbed all light appeared.

This pure black thread was so fine and delicate, and looked so fragile, as if it were just a strand of hair, yet it prevented the giant claw of the snow worm from breaking free.

"Mysterious power?"

With a "whoosh," the Bone Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard appeared beside the black thread, swung his sword, but after a "clang," it failed to sever it.

call!

The ghostly green soul fire in his eyes burned fiercely, as if provoked. The bone sword in the hands of the Bone Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard transformed into a hundred-meter-long giant in the next moment. After swinging the sword, it caused an elemental vacuum in the entire deep sealed space.

boom!

But this thin, black thread still didn't break!

However, as the pure black thread was subjected to a tremendous impact, the sound of large pieces of rubble collapsing was heard. After a series of mechanical vibrations below this deep sealed space, it was as if a flower of death was blooming.

Gradually, a huge altar appeared.

It was indescribably dark, without any light. One could only sense the powerful ancient will awakening through elemental perception.

call……

As the source of darkness gradually dissipated, the many demon hunters finally saw everything on the altar.

This is an altar completely frozen. In the center of the altar is a throne, on which sits a solemn and majestic locust-man, seemingly overlooking everything around the altar from his throne.

One after another, powerful slave monsters lay prostrate around the throne. Some were over thirty meters tall, while others were only a meter or so. They varied in shape and had a ferocious appearance. There were probably nearly a hundred of them.

As if disturbed from their slumber, these monsters gradually opened their blood-red eyes beneath the ice layer, gazing up with hostility and rage.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

The sound of ice breaking.

After these monsters gradually broke free of the ice layer, their eyes turned bloodshot, and they rushed towards the skeletal clock tower holy wizard who was trying to cut the black threads.

These monsters all possess level two or three strength, and should not be underestimated!

High in the sky, the Level 3 Demon Hunter Wizard, who had been following the Stigmata Wizard of the Bone Bell Tower, was startled and roared, "Kill them!"

The orderly demon hunters reacted almost immediately, coordinating their attacks and casting spells at their respective positions.

There are nearly ten thousand demon hunter wizards!

Although these sealed monsters were powerful, under the cover of nearly ten thousand wizards, they were unable to pose any threat to the fifth-level holy mark wizard, Bone Bell Tower, and were being slaughtered at will.

Under the cover of a great deal of witchcraft, the Skull Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard easily swung his sword, taking down one enemy at a time, and strolled leisurely toward the Frozen Throne on the altar.

Finally, after no more monsters rushed towards him, the Bone Bell Tower Stigmata Wizard looked at the last weak bone spike monster that had not yet awakened from its ice before the altar throne. He was about to casually swing his sword to kill it, but the moment the blade parted the ice, he suddenly sensed something and withdrew his bone sword as if electrocuted, and the eerie green soul fire jumped violently!

"A demon hunter wizard with primordial will!?"

Click, click...

As the ice gradually shattered, the eyes covered by grayish-white bone spurs slowly opened, seemingly in a dazed state unable to accept reality. The bone spur monster exhaled with a "Ha," and a large amount of mysterious power from the source of darkness appeared.

The previous chapter 424 had some issues on the Qidian web version, so only half of it appeared. The client version worked fine. It should be fixed now, just letting you know. Also, there will be an extra chapter when we have 1000 recommendation votes left, and after we surpass last month's 170 monthly votes, there will still be an extra chapter for every 10 votes.
