Wizard's Journey

Chapter 461 The Mystery of Mirage Desire (Sixteen)

With some time still to go before the Eye of Destruction arrives, Grimm patrols the area near the wizard's cave where he discovered traces of otherworldly creatures.

This used to be a shared responsibility of Green, G.J., and Gurundorf.

Touching the bloodstains on the ground, what might have been just a patch of blood to others—the blood left by the cub when it was injured—was, in Green's eyes, the dense, charred marks of red fur covering the towering cliffs.

This is the innate burning power of the mucus on the surface of this race's body.

Green found a small piece of scorched bone in the bloodstains. This was likely a mark left by an alien creature that had invaded the territory, and it resembled a human fingernail.

Even though the oracle bone was charred, Green could still feel the sharp edge remaining on it.

"What is it?"

Green was unable to determine the other's form from these few clues; it was probably a new species that Green had never seen on the towering cliffs.

Looking up, watching the swirling clouds in the gray sky gradually subside, Green took a deep breath and confidently walked forward, continuing his search for the other person's trail.

We can't let this invasive creature attack the other cubs.

Every cub the enemy kills reduces Green's future gains from the Blood of the Dirty Eyes. This is Green's enemy!

Patiently and calmly, Green surveyed the area, like a lion inspecting its territory.

Such patrols of alien creatures invading territory are quite common. The vast majority of attacks on other creatures are by passing creatures or powerful alien beings engaging in mobile killings. A few are attempts to wipe them all out, similar to what Grimm once did.

call out!

Suddenly, a blur of incredible speed hurtled toward Green.

However, this creature couldn't even kill its cubs in one blow, so Green judged that this creature was not a powerful one.

Bang!

As the ram-horned skull magic staff met the attack, dark scales appeared on Grimm's body.

Using the force of the impact, Green's body was thrown backward by inertia. Beneath the Mask of Truth, his eyes looked at this alien creature, who was shorter than him, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

It turned out to be a locust-man, holding a mantis-like forelimb as a sword.

It seems this locust-man has also lost the ability of the Flame Soul Blade?

For the Locust People, losing the Flame Soul Blade, while not as exaggerated as a wizard losing their ability to perceive the balance rules and thus reducing their strength, is still quite astonishing.

This locust-man, which Green judged to be a level two creature, was displaying pitiful strength at this moment, and seemed to be only able to borrow a small amount of Azure Rock's power.

"First level of wild instinct, activate!"

Green's violent and savage body continued to fight against the locust-man. Without the high-density shockwave ability of the Ram's Horned Skull Magic Staff, as well as the dual forces of repulsion and attraction and other sorcery enhancements, Green's strength was also reduced terribly.

Looking at the endless world, Green was just an ordinary level one creature at this moment.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

The two fought fiercely, but Green showed no intention of unleashing his second layer of primal instincts.

Green appeared calm and confident, as if victory was assured.

Rather than the weakness that comes after unlocking the second layer of his primal instincts, Green prefers the feeling of being a true elemental wizard, brimming with power—it's just too intoxicating...

Green couldn't help but glance at the vortex in the sky out of the corner of his eye.

As expected, two thick red beams of light reached out and grabbed at the infinitely large Devouring Shell, opening the entrance to the Mirage Realm once again. The captivating awakening light of the Mirage Pearl Lord illuminated this space between reality and illusion.

The endless array of devouring shell pearls were awakened, and they flew through the sky chasing each other.

Feeling the faint balance of the law, Green forced the locust-man back with a single blow. Suddenly, he smiled mysteriously beneath the mask of truth, and using the power of nature, he slowly flew into the sky, out of the range of the power of the Azure Rock Mountain.

The locust-man stared up at Green in awe, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Grimm was surrounded by a group of mirage beads chasing each other. Dense light of awakening shone on him. Between the indescribable illusion and reality, the two ram horns of Grimm's ram horn nightmare magic staff shot out two elemental powers, one ice and one fire, which mixed perfectly to form a dark red energy ball.

"Hehehehe, explosive flames!"

boom!

A dark red beam of light pierced through the protective layer of Azure Rock Power from the sky and landed on the Azure Rock Giant Mountain, completely engulfing the locust-man. Unstoppable, a mushroom-shaped sea of ​​fire with a diameter of fifty meters spread out.

The rolling flames burned the locust-man to ashes, and before he could even let out a scream, he vanished into nothingness, leaving no trace.

It was completely annihilated by the annihilating power of the exploding flames.

An attack of nearly 6,000 degrees would be impossible for most level-three creatures to withstand, let alone this locust-man.

However, Green's level of power seems to be far inferior to that of the giant monster that could summon hundreds of thousands of Azure Rock Forces that killed Gurendorf. He can only be considered to have barely entered the ranks of the top creatures of the Azure Rock Mountain.

As for the giant mountain itself, this level of attack had no effect whatsoever; the rocks beneath the red hair showed no trace whatsoever.

Suppressing his joy, Green came to his senses.

The power may be great, but it does not belong to oneself; it is merely an illusion. One must never become addicted to this illusion.

Now that the alien creatures that had invaded his territory had been killed, there was no point in Green staying any longer. He flew back towards the wizard's cave, as it was more important to focus on studying the secrets of the Awakening Light.

If I'm not mistaken, the value of this Awakening Light is probably comparable to, or perhaps slightly less than, the Eternal Spring Greatsword that the Primordial Fire God once summoned, but it would still be an irresistible temptation for the Lord of the World.

Although Green's current level prevents him from utilizing such high-level power, and even carrying it would be a burden, it does not diminish its value for trade!

As long as I can obtain a true beam of awakening light, it doesn't matter if there's no hope of obtaining the "Flame Soul Scripture" after returning to the Flame Soul World...

At that time, Green will have complete control!

In the eyes of those holy-marked wizards, a beam of awakening light from the endless sovereign was far more valuable than the "Flame Soul True Scripture," or even more valuable if Green only chose to exchange for the knowledge of the "Flame Soul True Scripture."

Even more so, Green could completely abandon the "Flame Soul True Scripture". One day, after Green becomes a Saint Mark Wizard, a beam of awakening light would be enough to become Green's true trump card.

…………

Before we knew it, another thousand or so days of the Eye of Destruction had passed.

The status of the Wizard's Cave remains secure.

As the ruler of this cave, Grimm has dozens of subordinates who collect mirage pearls, a fact known to other creatures from other worlds.

Weak creatures are no match for Grin's power, or rather, Grin's power during the time when the Mirage Pearl ruler descends. Powerful creatures or groups generally have their own fixed territories to hunt Mirage Pearls and will not easily infringe on the territories of other powerful creatures.

Green's life was quite comfortable and pleasant.

Before the Mirage Pearl Sovereign descended, Grimm studied the secret of the Eye of Destruction absorbing the Awakening Light deep in the cave. After the Mirage Pearl Sovereign descended, Grimm flew out of the area covered by the power of Azure Rock and relied on the Awakening Light unintentionally released by the Mirage Pearl Sovereign to continuously restore his senses.

Two hundred days before the arrival of the Eyes of Destruction, Grimm had already fully regained his senses and was completely confident that he could leave through those vortex gates that sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared, leading to unknown worlds.

Once he leaves this world and senses Hachi's presence, Green is confident he can return to Hachi's side.

Whether Xiao Ba is in the Flame Soul World or has returned to the Wizarding World after the Demon Hunting Expedition has ended.

"Um!?"

It seemed to have sensed something.

Green suddenly flew out of the cave, his ram-headed head gazing at the enormous shadow in the sky and... the Mirage Pearl Ruler, whose vortex in the high sky was gradually stopping and about to descend, smiled beneath the Mask of Truth.

"Finally, I can go back."

Green flew into the sky. Perhaps the enormous creature didn't even notice Green, who was so small, in its perception. Generally speaking, wizards are incredibly weak when first perceived by other creatures.

"It's that giant that killed the wizard Grunddorf!"

"Wizard Grimm, we can finally avenge Wizard Grunddorf!"

Although the cubs were beginning to mature, they still couldn't help but cry out in grief and excitement.

They desperately collected mirage pearls during the days when the Eye of Destruction descended, all for the glory of avenging their mother at this moment.

Grimm watched as the enormous creature unintentionally unleashed a massive amount of celestial power with the flapping of its fleshy wings, and said with satisfaction, "This kind of celestial power should be more effective at triggering a beam of light to awaken the Mirage Master than the 100,000 celestial powers that the Sangyuan Wizard once possessed."
