Wizard's Journey

Chapter 429 Abyss Moss

Two months later.

On the surface, among the mission messages issued by several space fortress combat command centers, there are already seven missions for the Medal of Honor Level 2!

This is unprecedented in the demon-hunting careers of most witch hunters.

"Removed the shackles of the Snowworm King's will from the deep layers of the ancient sealing arrays of the Darkborn Imperial Capital, the Netherworld Imperial Capital, the Dark City Imperial Capital, and the First Locust Imperial Capital, and obtained a Level 2 Honor Medal."

These are four level-two quests issued by the Stigmata Wizard of the Grimm's Bone Clock Tower.

Of these four missions alone, apart from the Darkborn Imperial City, which was destroyed in the battle of the World Gate a hundred years ago, the difficulty of the other three Level 2 Honor Medal missions is basically no less than the difficulty of killing the World Lord and obtaining the Level 1 Honor Medal.

Personally speaking, without considerable luck and wisdom, it would be an almost hopeless task to complete by brute force.

"Find the fault line with weak geological plates on the Flame Soul Continent, create accurate coordinates, and receive a Level 2 Honor Medal."

This level two task requires considerable professional knowledge to complete.

Secondly, there is a considerable risk of failure inherent in the process.

Because there may not be any thin tectonic plates on the mainland, but rather in the sea, and in just a few decades, the witch hunters simply wouldn't have enough time to find it.

It is very possible that decades of hard work and effort will only result in nothing.

Besides searching for the so-called hidden clues in the world that would make the True Spirit Wizard wary, the most likely hidden mission Wiki is to complete.

After all, Wiki was known as the Heart of the Earth during his Wizarding Apprenticeship, so he should have had considerable knowledge of geology.

"To form the Fallen Locust People organization, which is at odds with the remnants of the Locust Will. With the enslavement of Locust civilians by the ideology of the Flame God as its inherent condition, it may attempt to overthrow the divine rule system or attempt to completely degenerate. If the scale reaches the level of a wanted oracle issued by the Flame God, one will be awarded a second-level honor medal."

This task is basically issued to level three Demon Hunter Wizards, requiring both strength and wisdom to be present.

Of course, such missions behind enemy lines are usually carried out by dark wizards, who must possess considerable shrewdness and the ability to deceive.

Grimm's Sacred Body Transformation Technique is an extremely powerful disguise magic, thus he has done considerable research on disguise behind enemy lines.

The first step in disrupting the will of a race is to break the worship of its ancestors and historical heroes, to remove the ideological shackles of their myths and legends, and thus create diversity of thought.

The second step after dismantling the worship of racial ancestors and heroes is to erase the shared will and desires of this race, causing confusion of will.

Finally, they incite ambition, ignite so-called passion, and attempt to establish a new system of rules for the tribe, thereby destroying the original glorious civilization system and forcing it to submit to the will of the foreign wizards.

"Find the coordinates of the Heart of the World and obtain a Level 2 Mission Badge."

The Heart of the World may appear in this world in any way, but there is no doubt that the Heart of the World will always be under the surveillance of the World Guardians.

This task is probably the most difficult of all.

Even to ordinary witch hunters, it seemed almost impossible to accomplish.

In the wizarding world, without the guidance of the Heavenly Tortoise, even a witcher like Grimm, who had twice ventured to the Heart of the World, might not have been able to find the Black Sea Vortex again, let alone other wizards.

Fewer and fewer people already know the clues, and now they need to pinpoint the exact coordinates...

The closer the World Guardian gets to the Heart of the World, the stronger they become. Not to mention a Level 3 Archmage, even a Saint Mark Wizard would not dare to underestimate them in the slightest.

Therefore, this task can be considered merely incidental.

When a world is completely invaded, no matter how well the heart of the world is hidden, it will inevitably be found by the world's ruler and adapted to the original rules and will, which is the so-called replacement of the world's ruler.

The ruins of the Dark Annihilation Capital are now covered with black moss.

Before the Abyss Civilization invaded the ancient wizarding world, the Abyss Moss had already experienced countless invasions from different worlds in distant, unknown communities.

This tiny yet magnificent life, through repeated adaptation, elimination, and re-adaptation, has developed the most powerful memory of the source of life, even to the point of being repelled by the forces of the world.

These tiny creatures could be easily slaughtered and fed on by any creature in any of the endless worlds, but in the end, all the creatures in these worlds will discover that they are the ultimate victors.

Because...they are changing the world!

Those who have never experienced the Abyss Cataclysm will never understand the terror of these seemingly insignificant and tiny creatures.

Without understanding the terror of these tiny creatures, one cannot comprehend the powerful civilization system of the abyss that the ancient witch world faced.

No wonder the ancient wizards suffered such a miserable and complete defeat, leaving them no choice but to flee in disarray.

…………

Green, Soram, Millie, and Kredia sat in Green's comfortable space fortress temporary laboratory.

They were under the strictest protection and highest level of care; without Green's special permission, the three of them would never have been able to enter this secret room, which was only a few hundred meters away from the combat command post.

Soram sat neatly at the round table with his demon hunter armor completely exposed, holding a small jar of mature abyssal moss specimens in his hand.

At this time, this mature form of abyssal moss was already ubiquitous in the Dark Annihilation Capital and was continuously spreading to the surrounding areas.

A wisp of black energy emanated from the abyss moss; this was the abyss's aura.

The abyssal aura carries a slight toxicity and also possesses a certain degree of corrosiveness.

These abyssal auras wouldn't have much of an impact on a formal wizard. In fact, if only such a small amount of abyssal moss released these abyssal auras, it would be about the same as a fart to an ordinary person.

However, if the abyssal moss spreads throughout the world, the world will naturally begin an abyssal catastrophe, just like ordinary humans becoming terminally ill!

Mass extinctions began, until all remaining species in the world began to adapt to the abyssal system and transform into abyssal creatures.

"I will spend fifty to sixty years, together with seventeen other witcher wizards who have also taken on the mission, spreading the abyss in a ravaged vassal state. The third-level honor medal will be awarded to the witcher wizard among us who has the highest mission completion rate."

Soram said in a low voice.

The Level 3 Honor Medal is the quickest way for every Witcher Wizard to advance their status, but the vast majority of Witcher Wizards still fail to obtain it even after advancing to Level 2 Wizard.

Grimm stared at the abyssal moss in front of Solangm, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly said something that startled Solangm.

"I have a way to significantly increase your chances of getting the Medal of Honor."

Soram asked in surprise, "What method?"

Millie and Kredia, who were standing nearby, also looked at Green in surprise.

"One hundred witch spirits, I'll trade you all the experimental data and results from this period of time."

Soram gritted his teeth; a hundred witch spirits was no small number!

Millie suddenly said, "If you have a way to upgrade your medal to level three, I'm also very interested in this deal. How about this: Soram and I will each contribute fifty magic essences to make a total of one hundred magic essences?"

Millie hadn't originally planned to undertake the Level 3 Demon Hunter Honor Badge mission to spread Abyssal Moss, but when she heard Green say that it would increase her chances of obtaining the Honor Badge, she was immediately tempted.

"it is good."

After agreeing, Green looked at Kreta and asked, "And you?"

With her red lips slightly parted and her white teeth gently biting her slender, delicate white index finger, Clementia hesitated for a moment before looking up at Green with a seductive smile, her voice extremely greasy.

"Hehe, of course I'll follow Lord Green's side as planned. Compared to the chance to get another third-level honor medal, Lord Green's wisdom is what I value most. You see, while we're all busy competing with other witch hunters for honor medals, Lord Green started his forward-looking experimental plan more than a month ago, putting him ahead of most wizards."

Green and Millie have a natural aversion to Cretia's collection of ancient black magic that bewitches, but Solem seems indifferent.

Green didn't say anything to Kreta's flattery, but turned around and shouted.

"Xiao Ba, bring out my experimental work!"

"Hehe, I got it!"

Hachiman retrieved an exquisite crystal bottle from the inner room.

The crystal bottle also contained abyssal moss, but its form seemed much stronger and more ferocious than the abyssal moss quest specimen in Soram's hands, and the black, slightly corrosive toxic gas it emitted was also much more concentrated.

"This is the Abyssal Moss of the Flame Soul World that I started cultivating two months ago, using the preserved specimen of the Level 3 Locust Man corpse and a small amount of the World Lord's blood from this world. Preliminary tests show that the survival rate of this Flame Soul World version of Abyssal Moss in this world is no less than 90%, while the survival rate of the mature version of Abyssal Moss in your hands is only about 50% to 60%."

Solem, Millie, and Kredia all focused their attention on the abyssal moss in Green's hand.

Even though they had been informed of information about the command headquarters' attempt to trigger a cataclysmic event in the Flame Soul World through the Abyss Moss, and they had all guessed the corresponding mission, none of them had ever thought of cultivating mission propagation items themselves.

But Green...

Is this the difference in wisdom?

With this bottle of fully-formed Abyssal Moss, and assuming that Millie, Soram, and the other witchers vying for the mission are roughly equal in skill, the Level 3 Honor Medal will almost certainly belong to the two of them.

This is an item that almost transcends the rules of the Witcher quest itself!

The main reason Green only sold one hundred Witch Essence was to lay the emotional groundwork for the future competition for the "Flame Soul True Scripture".

"Alright! One hundred witch essences, deal!"

Millie and Soram both took out their Witch Essence.

Soram seemed to have less than fifty spirit essences with him, and he took out a golden gibbon corpse and placed it in front of Green.

"Oh? Activated flesh and blood, good, not bad."

After assessing the quality of the corpse, Green nodded in satisfaction, tacitly agreeing that Soram had used it to replace ten witch essences.
