Wizard's Journey

Chapter 456 The Mysterious Realm of Mirage Desire (Part 11)

"Well, we're making final preparations before leaving..."

The shaman Kuwabara murmured to himself, his eyes slightly glazed over, as if he had been preparing for this day for far too long and had experienced too much, his face bearing the marks of time.

"Master Kuwabara is already able to summon the power of 100,000 Azure Rocks, Grin."

On the other side, Zha Han spoke with eyes full of admiration.

The power of 100,000 Azure Rocks represents the hunting of 100,000 Mirage Pearls, or the killing and absorption of the Azure Rocks power of several thousand creatures of the same level as those that attacked Grimm.

Thus, Green couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration in his eyes.

…………

The Eye of Destruction has descended once more.

Its existence is like the sun in the wizarding world, a brief timekeeping signal for this illusory world as it experiences another day, or perhaps a unique rule within this illusory world.

The countless Devouring Shells opened their shells, and mirage beads glided along with their blood-red tails. At this moment, all the wizards present focused their gazes on Sangyuan, their eyes filled with longing and blessings.

"Are these genuine emotions merely an illusion for them?"

Green wondered if he was actually in some kind of illusion, or if he had truly entered a virtual world.

Given such uncertainty, it was even less likely that Green would choose suicide to escape the hallucination.

Kuwabara looked up at the awe-inspiring Eye of Destruction in the sky, as if it were the true ruler capable of transcending any rule in the endless world!

The creatures on the towering cliffs have gradually become accustomed to the aura of the Eye of Destruction, or rather, adapted to its rules; it has become a part of this illusory world.

"Master Gurendorf, Glennbel, Amil, Kiruz, Gahn... Green."

After reciting the names of all the wizards present, Kuwabara looked up at the Eye of Destruction in the sky, which was gradually weakening, at the mirage pearls that were returning to the Devouring Shell, and at the countless creatures of the endless worlds on the distant Azure Rock Mountain that were trying to hunt the mirage pearls during this time. He then burst into laughter.

"I'm leaving!"

Kuwabara laughed loudly and soared into the sky. The surging power of the Azure Rock was like a ray of flame split from the torch of the Azure Rock Mountain, rushing towards the weak and destructive eye that was about to close!

This is Kuwahara's all-out, relentless sprint.

Success means life, with a one in a thousand chance of returning to the Wizarding World; failure means death, being utterly reduced to ashes by the Eye of Destruction.

call out!

Kuwabara's goal was to take advantage of the Eye of Destruction's weakest moment to break out of this illusory world and rush towards the endless world where the Eye of Destruction resided.

Crackling sounds!

Compared to the Eye of Destruction, Sangyuan, who was burning with the power of tens of meters of blue rock, was almost negligible. Just as everyone was wondering if Sangyuan had succeeded, a dark red lightning bolt suddenly ripped through the sky.

It seems that Kuwabara provoked the Eye of Destruction.

The Eye of Destruction in the sky, which was about to close, suddenly became agitated again. Not only did it open again, but it also stared wide open, twisting and turning desperately in the sky, as if it was about to completely descend upon the Mirage Realm at any moment!

As the Eye of Destruction grew more agitated, the mirage beads also began to rage. Large groups of mirage beads started flying in formation, inadvertently entering the Azure Rock Mountain. However, after entering the area covered by the power of Azure Rock, they lost their strength and fell to the ground.

These mirages that landed on the towering cliffs and mountains were like fish on the shore, struggling helplessly.

It took longer than any previous arrival.

After several hourglasses of time, the Eye of Destruction slowly closed, and the turbulent mirage beads in the sky returned to the Devouring Shell.

"Alas... the power of 100,000 Cangyan rocks."

As Gurendorf sighed, Green already knew the outcome. With regret, he and the surrounding wizards began to collect the mirage beads that had fallen onto the giant rock mountain.

An indescribable sense of melancholy.

Unlike other wizards who busied themselves collecting mirage beads, Greene returned to Grundoff's side after collecting two.

"Master, may I take a look at the altar at the deepest part of the cave, near the rocky spring?"

Green was referring to the place where the Azure Rock Spring was obtained after the sacrifice of the Mirage Pearl.

"sure!"

……

It seemed to be a huge, naturally formed altar, or perhaps it represented some of the rules of this illusory world. Green stood in front of the altar, observing it carefully, as if hoping to discover something.

Hundreds of mirage beads were placed on the altar, all collected by numerous wizards in the past.

At this moment, the mirage beads were filled with fear and struggled incessantly, but to no avail. Their bodies gradually merged into the altar and disappeared without a trace.

Tick ​​tock!

After absorbing the mirage pearl, large drops of water flowed from the center of the altar and dripped down.

These are the Springs of Azure Cliffs. The Springs of Azure Cliffs that fell to the ground splashed out, then gathered together and slowly froze into an ice crystal.

"Um?"

Green held a piece of ice crystal from the Azure Rock Spring, looking puzzled.

"Is it because the outside temperature is lower than the inside that it condensed into ice after flowing out? Or does it not follow the rules of the endless world's ice element at all, but rather a completely new elemental system?"

Green touched the altar with his hands, listened intently, sniffed carefully, and even licked it lightly with his tongue, but he did not obtain any of the deeper clues he was looking for from this altar that seemed to be one with the towering cliffs and mountains.

This demonstrates the importance of the aspect of truth!

People are too easily blinded by appearances and unable to explore the deeper essence of the rules governing things.

"Hehe, did you find something?"

As the old witch Gurendorf collected the spring water from the cliffs, she asked with a smile.

Green shook his head regretfully.

After handing over the two portions of Azure Rock Spring belonging to Grimm, the old witch said, "To leave this illusory world, you must rely on the power of Azure Rock. I've noticed you've been hesitant; it seems you don't intend to use the power of Azure Rock?"

The old witch left the secret chamber.

Green gritted his teeth, sighed, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He took out the wizard coin, fiddled with it in his hand, and then threw it into the sky.

With a "ding," the wizard's coin landed on the altar, tails down.

Green picked up the wizard coin and tossed it again. With a "ding," this time it landed heads.

After tossing the wizard coins a hundred times, Green put them away, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes!

"Forty-eight heads, fifty-two tails. And the more times you toss, the closer the number of heads or tails gets to the number of tosses! There are endless world balance rules here, but my perception is clouded!"

Green took a deep breath.

"So, this is actually within the boundless world, not some illusory world. Everything that's happening is real, but some of my perceptions have been clouded? Or rather, some of the things I perceive as happening aren't actually what I'm actually doing?"

Unable to contain himself, Green thought of the Primordial Flame God of the Flame Soul World.

The Primordial Flame God summoned the endless power of the Eternal Spring and killed the Dark Flame God. During this turmoil, when the meteor shower was swooping down on the Dark Annihilation Capital, Grimm briefly looked up to observe the progress of the situation.

Afterwards, Green was summoned by the Black Sota Stigmata Wizard to inquire about the cause of the incident.

From this, I also learned some advanced wizarding knowledge from the Black Tower Saint Mark Wizard, which is advanced knowledge belonging to the realm of mental illusion, and the perception of deception.

It did not construct a mental illusion, nor did it pull anyone into any virtual world. It was simply an illusion that unknowingly obscured certain perceptions of the enemy in the real world.

When the Primordial Flame God was deceived by the Black Sota Saint Mark Wizard's perception, the Dark Flame God's perception was switched with Black Sota's, which led to the tragedy of the fall of a world master in the Flame Soul World.

The Black Sota Stigmata Wizard even told Grimm without any hesitation that this was actually an ability he had obtained from the Thousand-Eyed Crab.

The Thousand-Eyed Crab has two abilities.

Firstly, it senses the gaze of others; secondly, it confuses the senses of other creatures, thus causing them to attack indiscriminately in their surroundings.

Now Green can't help but suspect that he has been affected by a similar ability, only to a greater degree!

Only in this way can it be explained why, in Green's judgment, the Spring of Azure Rock has the harmful effect of spiritual pollution, and only the Eye of Destruction is the way out for him to leave this illusory world.

He kept reminding himself that he must not remain conscious after leaving the Azure Rock Mountain too far when the Eye of Destruction descended.

The sole purpose of this illusory world is to meticulously craft a deception, enticing all creatures caught within it to relentlessly hunt for the mirage pearl and place it on this altar.

Beneath the mask of truth, Grimm's eyes seemed to have already seen a glimmer of dawn.

If all of this reasoning is true...
