Wizard's Journey

Chapter 485 Fear

"We did it! We won!"

"Thanks to the great Flame God, our great Locust King burns eternally, rising anew..."

The sky returned to its azure blue, the evil wizard's invasion ended in failure, the abyssal monsters were slaughtered without exception, and the sky above the fiery city was filled only with locust-men and a legion of red-eyed slave monsters, soul slaves of the locust's will.

"Lin Mo, did you see that? We've won! Our Locust Clan has finally won! Wizards are not invincible! Our great Locust Clan will one day defeat them, reclaim the Flame Soul Continent, and slaughter them all!"

Green's body had been washed with clean water, and he felt refreshed, no longer smelling of the sour stench from the abyss monster's belly.

Black flames roared overhead, and Grimm looked up at the sky, watching the countless abyssal monsters crumble before feigning an excited and satisfied expression.

"Yes, that's right. One day we will reclaim the Flame Soul Continent. I believe it!"

At this moment, although the abyssal monsters had been completely defeated, these abyssal monsters were only a small portion that were not under the control of the wizard's will. Most of the abyssal monsters had already left into the distance under the leadership of abyssal summoner demon hunter wizards.

The fiery city erupted in a frenzy of celebration, with locusts rejoicing and searching for the long-lost confidence and pride deep within their memories.

…………

Ten days later.

Green became a member of the more than ten locust-men patrol team organized by Eschi.

The Kingdom of the First Locust God, a subordinate space of the Flame Soul World, is roughly the size of the Thorn Forest, which covers the six academies of the Seven Rings Holy Tower in the Wizarding World.

It's not exactly big, but it's certainly not small either.

This area is a ruined city within the divine realm. It is unknown what kind of city it once was, what kind of glorious history it had, and why it was abandoned by the Primordial Fire God, leaving only the ruins it is today.

"Remember, our mission is to patrol this ancient city of Stut for any hidden wizards. We must not allow any wizards to corrupt this ancient city."

Eshi spoke to the crowd with a calm and composed expression.

"Um."

"knew……"

After everyone responded, they dispersed.

Green flapped his locust-like wings and flew through the sky, wielding the Flame Soul Sword, occasionally swaying his head from side to side, searching for any abyssal creatures that might be hiding there.

After a while, Green seemed to have made a discovery. He swooped down at lightning speed, his sword flashing out, and a deformed abyssal monster was killed with a scream.

Without any expression, Green used a special transparent container to collect a small piece of the abyssal monster's body, then continued to flap his wings and patrol forward.

After about three hourglasses.

The group of more than ten people reunited, each of them having collected some specimens of abyssal monsters.

"Hmm? Where's Yasasu?"

When Eshi noticed that one of the Locusts was missing from the group, his expression changed. Could it be that some powerful wizard's shadow monster was hidden in the ruins of this ancient city? Had Yasasu already met with misfortune?

Similarly, Green felt a chill run down his spine.

Abyssal monsters are extremely vulnerable once they leave the abyssal environment. Their powerful vitality cannot be replenished by the abyssal energy, their bizarre habits that set them apart from ordinary creatures cannot be displayed, and the instinctive suppression of the world's rules further exacerbates the situation. As a result, monsters that are terrifyingly powerful in the abyssal environment become relatively vulnerable in the outside world.

Generally speaking, level two and three monsters don't hide alone; they are either heavily targeted and killed by high-level locust people or tightly controlled by the wizard's will.

So...

Could this place be hiding a powerful abyss summoner, a demon-hunting wizard?!

Although the possibility is extremely small, Green had finally managed to infiltrate this fiery city and obtain an official identity, and he didn't want to be exposed so soon.

As long as the Black Tower Saint Mark Wizard does not open the spatial nest a second time to support the arrival of new forces in this subordinate space, Grimm will not reveal his identity for a day.

Guerrilla tactics for escaping are a skill that only powerful witch hunters can master.

"Feed..."

Just as everyone was gripped by a terrifying and oppressive atmosphere, a locust-like human flew over from afar. It was Yasasu. Involuntarily, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look what I found!"

Ok?

As everyone looked, it turned out to be a wizard's magic staff, with a red gem at the top that subtly emitted elemental light, dazzling and beautiful, perfectly matching the aesthetics of the locust race.

Green's pupils contracted; this was Cressia's magic wand!

Could it be that she has already...

No, Green had observed that this woman's sense of security was far stronger than his own. Although the defeated wizards seemed dangerous, in the initial chaos of their arrival, as long as these demon hunter wizards with their infinite survival instincts were not killed immediately, it would be extremely difficult to kill them later.

Moreover, in this secondary space, the Black Sota Saint Mark Wizard had previously sworn that the Sea Guardian and the Primordial Locust Flame God of the Flame Soul World would never dare to appear here.

As for the reason, the Black Tower Stigmata Wizard did not explain.

"Hahaha, this is a wizard's weapon! I'm taking it back as a trophy!"

Yasasu laughed loudly, and after showing off to everyone for a while, she said this.

The fiery red city within the Kingdom of the First Locust God is not the town of survivors of the Dark Empire when the Abyss Moss had just begun to ravage it. Those weak and foolish locust people, trapped in fear and despair, actually burned to death the locust people who were collecting and researching witchcraft artifacts. They were truly ignorant and foolish.

Anything can happen here, because this is the gathering place of the elite of the locust people!

"Hmph, what good luck! These wizarding artifacts can be exchanged for some unexpected treasures by handing them over to those saints who study wizardry."

Eshi snorted and added, "Come back on time next time."

"Uh... I understand."

Just as everyone was about to leave to finish their mission and get some rest, Essie suddenly seemed to sense something. Her expression changed, and she waved her hand, shouting, "Hide everything!"

Everyone immediately hid in the gaps between the ruins and peered into the distant sky.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Millions of abyssal monsters, blotting out the sun, crowded overhead, their shadows falling like dark clouds.

"Damn it, it's a fugitive Abyss Summoner wizard!"

Eshi slammed his fist into the broken wall inside the crack, gritting his teeth and speaking with hatred in his eyes.

Although the other locust people had regained some confidence due to their previous victories, the successful defense of the Crimson City, and the defeat of the wizards who invaded the Kingdom of the First Locust God, they still trembled with fear and prayed that the First Locust God would not let those abyssal demons notice them, and they dared not even spy on them anymore.

After a while, Essie seemed to have discovered something and let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, get up. That Abyss Summoner Wizard is gone."

Eshi's shout startled one of the locust-men next to her. The locust-man grabbed Eshi, his eyes wide with anxiety, and said, "Don't be so loud! If those abyssal monsters and the wizards inside detect our presence, we're doomed!"

"Damn it, don't pull me! Look up at the sky! This is the Flame Soul World, our world! It should be those wizards hiding and fleeing here!"

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of locust-men flew across the sky in swarms, relentlessly pursuing the fleeing demon hunter wizard.

"Let's go after that wizard too!"

After Eshi finished speaking, he was about to fly into the sky to join the huge locust people, but he was stopped by Yasasu.

"Our mission is to patrol this area; we haven't been assigned any assassination missions!"

"you……"

Eshi pointed at Yasasu, speechless.

Green frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly at Eshi, who was looking at him, and said, "The Sage must have had his reasons for assigning us this task. Let's prioritize the task. We must be patient; one day, more and more Locust People will understand our great dream and follow us forward!"

Green spoke in the cheap, hot-blooded language of the Locust People, signaling to Eshi not to act impulsively.

"call……"

After letting out a sigh of relief, Eshi nodded and led the locust people in a different direction, flying back towards the Fiery City.
