Wizard's Journey

Chapter 476 Selfless Devotion

One day later.

The black flames were raging fiercely; this was actually a guardian of the Flame Soul World!

After Green led his horde of abyssal monsters to sweep through numerous locust survivor settlements, they finally encountered a settlement even larger than the one they had cleared the first time.

"The Sinister Overlord, Grin!"

The voice of the guardian of the Flame Soul World was filled with boundless hatred, as if he wished he could crush this despicable wizard alive and devour his flesh and bones.

Behind this guardian of the Flame Soul World were over a hundred level-two locust-man commanders and nearly four to five thousand locust-man warriors.

This large-scale gathering of locust people is probably the largest locust person gathering in the entire Flame Soul World, which is polluted by abyssal moss, except for the First Locust God.

More than 100,000 elite abyssal monsters surrounded and protected Grin like a hurricane.

The number of abyssal monster servants summoned along the way has approached ten million. These abyssal monsters are like mindless zombies, spreading like a tide across the sky and ground in all directions of Green. The terrifying abyssal aura they gather has even made the abyssal demon clouds in the sky thicken.

Behind him were four wizards of different forms: Solem, Vicky, Millie, and Kredia. With a wave of his magic wand, the abyssal monsters that swarmed across the sky and ground came to a halt.

Beneath the mask of truth, two-colored eyes gazed toward this guardian of the Flame Soul World.

"Do you hate me?"

Since the Flame Soul World has been largely transformed into an abyss world under the control of the wizard's will, the power of this Flame Soul World guardian has now diminished significantly.

It was once able to gather the power of a black flame world that stretched over thirty meters, making even the Saint Mark Wizard somewhat wary. Now, however, it can only gather the power of a black flame world that stretches over ten meters.

This World Guardian is nothing more than a level two being!

However, aside from power, the World Guardians also represent the hope of a world, which is why they have so many followers.

Within the dark flames, the guardian of the Flame Soul World gazed at Grin with his azure eyes.

"Why invade the Flame Soul World? The Wizarding World is so powerful, and the Flame Soul World has never had any contact with it before!"

The little eight on Grimm's shoulder grew impatient and barked, "When did the wizarding world need a reason to invade a lower-level world?!"

"No!"

Green suddenly rejected Hachi's words, and his eyes, beneath the mask of truth, looked at the guardian of the Flame Soul World with great interest.

"In other worlds, every Saint-Stigma Wizard would probably come up with a multitude of plausible reasons, as if your Flame Soul World needed a reason to invade those seven enslaved worlds?"

After a pause, Green suddenly laughed, "However, in this world, it wasn't an evil invasion by the wizarding world, but rather a righteous counterattack in self-defense, hehehehehehehe..."

Green laughed heartily, a truly unrestrained laugh.

"What do you mean?"

The guardian of the Flame Soul World stared at Green's triumphant, unrestrained laughter, and continued to press him with a cold voice.

Click!

Green stomped his foot, signaling the giant abyssal bird beneath him, which was hostile to the fire spirit creatures and eager to kill them, to quiet down.

This giant abyssal bird also represents the will of all the abyssal creatures around it.

Green seemed lost in a memory.

"That happened about seven hundred years ago. Back then, I was just an insignificant little wizard in the wizarding world, like those trembling locusts behind you. One day, my mentor gave me a mission, a mission to hunt down dark wizard apprentices."

Standing atop the giant abyss bird, Green spoke slowly amidst the irritable and anxious waiting of nearly ten million abyssal creatures.

"You wouldn't understand the preciousness of ordinary humans in the wizarding world. So many exceptionally intelligent great wizards have fallen somewhere between great wizards and holy wizards because there weren't enough ordinary humans to maintain the number of official wizards in their academies, preventing them from successfully building wizard towers. Therefore, every wizarding academy will never allow a large-scale population loss within its territory!"

Green's voice was loud and clear, righteous and indignant, standing on the lofty and righteous side of the human race in the entire wizarding world.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Flame Soul world, the Demon Hunter Wizard is utterly evil.

However, from the perspective of the wizarding world, the witch hunters who drive away and hunt down dark wizards, maintain the order and rules of the wizarding continent, and ensure the continuation of the wizarding world are the second guardians of the wizarding world!

"And during this very mission, I made an unexpected discovery: a great being from another world was constantly bewitching fallen wizards to collect the souls of ordinary humans from the wizarding world!"

At this point, Green roared, whether with excitement or hatred, his eyes fixed on the distant guardians of the Flame Soul World and the horde of locust-like people behind them.

Immediately following was another eerie and sinister whisper.

"Back then, as a novice wizard, I wondered, what would such a great being do by collecting the souls of ordinary humans from the wizarding world? Was it just to collect some souvenirs?"

"Hmph, hmph, hmph, it wasn't until 150 years ago that I finally understood. It turns out he wanted to open a door, a door connecting two worlds, a door that would allow him to traverse the endless void and journey to the wizarding world!"

Green spoke in a cold voice, looking at the many locust-men in the distance with mockery and contempt.

Even the four wizards behind Green looked dumbfounded.

So there's more to the story than meets the eye in the world of Flame Souls?

In this light, it's quite possible that Dawn Wisdom and the Seventh Ring True Spirit Wizard's decision to completely destroy the Flame Soul World civilization was due to this reason.

The guardian of the Flame Soul World, almost breathless, asked unwillingly, "What do you mean...?"

"What do I mean?"

Green chuckled coldly in a low voice.

"That great being who collects the souls of humans in the Wizarding World and attempts to invade it is none other than the Dark God of Annihilation from your Flame Soul World! The Wizarding World is merely a world on a quest for revenge!"

With a "whoosh," the Green Ram Horned Skull Magic Wand swung forward.

"Therefore... this evil world that attempted to seize control of the wizarding world must be destroyed in the most extreme way, hehehehehe..."

Boom!

Nearly ten million abyssal monsters, following the fluctuations of Wizard Grimm's will, swarmed from the sky and the ground towards the less than ten thousand locust people, baring their fangs and claws, causing the dark clouds of the abyss in the sky to boil and churn.

Beneath his mask of truth, Grimm's eyes were cold and piercing as he looked at the guardian of the Flame Soul World.

"As for you? This world is now the abyss world under the control of wizards, no longer your Flame Soul World. You will be thoroughly purified by the original rules of this world."

After he finished speaking, the abyssal demonic clouds in the sky suddenly transformed into a giant funnel, enveloping the guardian of the Flame Soul World.

This is the retaliation of the rules of the Abyss World!

"No……"

The guardian of the Flame Soul World roared, its black flames churning, but to no avail. The black flames were constantly being torn apart by the layers upon layers of abyssal world power from all directions.

The other locust people were too weak, just like Grin before the Gate of the World, and couldn't even sense the power of the world.

As long as they do not actively approach the strangulation range of the abyss rules, these locust-men will not be affected by the world purification rules.

But the real despair they faced was not the rules of the abyss world, but the attack of thousands upon thousands of roaring and surging abyssal monsters summoned by Grimm!

The abyssal monsters seem poised to wipe out all the locust people in one fell swoop.

boom!

Suddenly, the ground beneath Green, where the shadow of the giant abyss bird had fallen, erupted with a massive surge of fiery soul power, the earth churning and plowing with continental shockwaves. An astonishing energy aura shot straight into the sky.

The dark red Flame Soul Light Sword, over fifty meters long, pierced straight towards Grin, like a dazzling beam of light illuminating the sky and earth. His unwavering eyes, filled with a spirit that saw through life and death, conveyed a sense of undying determination.

Roar...

The abyssal monsters near the lightsaber rushed forward, but were easily shattered by the fiery soul power emanating from the lightsaber. Although the lightsaber was enormous, Grimm clearly felt that the tip of the sword was pointing at only the insignificant spot of his heart.

"Another silent saint who once stood before the gates of the world has been born."

However, compared to the former Yimo, this locust-man has completely lost the possibility of advancing to the level of world master.

Because this world is no longer the world of Flame Soul.

Green realized the truth.

Ancient wizards could only kill the ancient demons head-on if they mobilized an equally large army of slaves and mechanical puppets to fight against the endless abyss legions summoned by the ancient demons of the abyss world.

Otherwise, one can only do what this Locust Saint is doing now: risk one's life to launch a sneak attack on the Formless Ancient Demon who casts the Abyss Summoning amidst the protection of numerous Abyss Demons!

In the blink of an eye, the towering light sword traversed hundreds of meters, killing hundreds of abyssal demons. For a moment, Grimm had no time to summon more abyssal demons to stop it, and they rushed straight towards Grimm.

Beside Green, a 30-meter-tall abyssal monster resembling a giant locust-like human infant opened its chubby, fleshy mouth and spat out tentacles that looked like intestines, swirling with a thick abyssal aura as it swept over.

Beneath Green stood a colossal abyssal bird, its purplish-black claws covered in a layer of cold scales, abyssal fire blazing at their tips, as it shrieked and lunged at the locust saint.

The thousands of abyssal bats surrounding Grimm surged towards the dark red greatsword like a torrent, fearlessly protecting him and preventing the Locust Saint from getting close.

Hiss!

The Abyss Demon Bat was nothing more than a moth drawn to a flame; its hundred-meter-long flying intestines shattered instantly. The fifty-meter-long dark red Flame Soul Greatsword pierced straight at the Abyss Giant Bird's purplish-black demonic claws beneath Grimm, an unstoppable force!

Those eyes, filled with a resolute determination and a willingness to sacrifice everything, were just like those of the ancient wizards who bravely defended the last vestiges of dignity in the wizarding world.
