Wizard's Journey

Chapter 552 Boom!

The path to truth requires 100% perseverance and a little bit of luck.

This bit of luck is crucial!

Without this bit of luck, there would be an immeasurable difference between a level three elemental wizard and a holy mark wizard.

The annihilation energy experiment consists of a 15-meter-tall experimental apparatus with 18 fire element bases connected in series at the bottom, 18 water element bases connected in series at the top, and an energy conservation seal crystal glass dome in the middle, filled with high-concentration energy gel blocks, constantly searching for something that can contain the annihilation energy.

In the day-to-day search, Green had become accustomed to constantly searching, experimenting, and failing, even when he was physically and mentally exhausted.

The ground began to shake with a rumbling sound. Grimm's gaze remained calm as he waited quietly. The lights inside the Demon Hunter Castle began to distort in irregular shapes as they were sucked into the crystal vessel.

An indescribable sense of oppression emanated from the crystal vessel.

Once every eighteenth of a second, the instrument underwent fifty-four high-intensity, repulsive energy collisions in a short period of time, and a ball of pitch-black flame appeared.

This incredibly dark, terrifying, oppressive, and all-consuming flame burned for only three seconds before all the high-density energy gel blocks inside the instrument were completely destroyed.

With a "poof", the black flames dissipated.

"It is not a rocky rock either."

Green muttered to himself, drawing a red cross behind the Rock of the Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder. This was a special alchemical material made from a mixture of earth elemental energy, which was added in small amounts to certain key parts of machinery.

Rubbing his tired eyes, Green realized he hadn't had a proper rest in half a month, only managing a few brief meditations during that time. Meanwhile, Little Eight was fast asleep on the second floor, taking a nap.

The corners of her sunken eyes were lined with crow's feet, and her eye bags gave off a dark aura.

This was due to long-term fatigue, but since the Demon Hunting Expedition was still more than 20 years away, Green didn't pay too much attention to it.

However, Green did feel dizzy and needed to rest.

After placing the next material for the experiment into the "Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder," Green shook his slightly dizzy head, yawned, and said, "After testing these two materials, it's time to get a good rest."

As he spoke, Green looked at another "Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder," where a high-concentration energy gel block had already solidified.

The faster one is an alchemical composite called "Boser Seventeen," which Green didn't have much hope for.

Since the previous 'Boser' series numbers have all been tested and found to be normal, number seventeen, with similar attributes, should have the same fate as number sixteen.

Of course, experiments are not based on guesswork; they must be conducted repeatedly to verify the truth and laws of knowledge!

After glancing outside the Demon Hunter Castle, the Thousand-Eyed Crab went to the Tree of Life to buy food. This was an activity the Thousand-Eyed Crab performed once a month to help it regenerate its severed claws more quickly.

In the distance, a wizard strolled with an air of youthful vigor, likely a newly promoted demon hunter. Countless wizards, mechanical airships, and slave transports flew across the sky, casting shadows one after another under the midday sun.

After exhaling a breath, feeling that his spirits had recovered somewhat, Green activated the 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder'.

Boom...Creak!

Ok?

The initial rumbling of the ground was normal, and Grimm waited quietly. The lights inside the Demon Hunter Castle began to distort in irregular shapes and were sucked into the crystal vessel.

However, at the very moment that ball of annihilation flames formed, the 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation and Recording Device' suddenly emitted an abnormal creaking sound.

Puzzled, Green looked toward the blurry area where the light was being drawn in. Instantly, Green's body jolted, and he felt goosebumps pop all over his body, his hair stand on end, and his back was covered in cold sweat. All his fatigue vanished.

A crack has appeared on the crystal seal of the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder!

Yes, it's a crack!

In an instant, Green felt as if time had stopped. His thoughts traveled through time, and he finally realized a possibility: it was caused by mechanical wear and tear!

Nothing, no machine, nothing, can be permanent.

Even the Endless Ruler and the True Spirit Wizard, and even the world itself, will die.

Similarly, the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder, after operating for hundreds of years, has also reached its limit and is about to collapse.

And the consequences of the collapse of the "Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder" during the annihilation experiment...

"Ah! Hachi, run!"

With a roar, Green instinctively grabbed the "Book of Truth" and "Experimental Notes on Annihilation Energy" from the experimental table, and then, in a panic, rushed out of the Demon Hunter Castle. With a thud, Green ran wildly onto the lawn of Millie's Demon Hunter Castle.

"Huh? Young Master, what's wrong?"

Little Eight, perched on Green's shoulder, looked puzzled, still half-asleep.

"Millie, run!"

As Green roared, suddenly, it was as if a monster sealed in the deepest part of the earth had awakened behind him. A muffled rumble came from the earth, and an invisible shockwave made Green lose his balance. It was as if the whole earth sank a bit before Green fell to the ground with a "thud".

"Green, what's going on?"

Millie, who flew out of the Demon Hunter Castle, was shocked. The inside of the Tree of Life's defensive shield was the safest place in the wizarding world, the most secure sanctuary for demon hunters, bar none!

But now...

Around Green, wizards from one demon-hunting castle after another rushed out of their castles, all looking at Green's demon-hunting castle with different forms. They all showed disbelief and then retreated into the distance in horror.

In the sky, the passing wizards also noticed an incredible energy fluctuation forming on the ground, and they all stopped in shock and looked down.

In Grimm's Demon Hunter Castle, countless magical runes emerged from the brick walls, wooden doors, and crystal glass, as if fighting against and trying to suppress the terrifying energy within the room.

This originated from the inherent defensive measures taken when the Seven Rings Holy Tower built the Demon Hunter Castle.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Every brick and tile of Grimm's Demon Hunter Castle was vibrating at a high frequency, and beams of light around the castle began to distort, being pulled in by a powerful suction force inside the castle, creating a dreamlike distorted scene.

boom!

Suddenly, almost instantly, thousands upon thousands of bricks in Green's Demon Hunter Castle shattered, all the magical runes vanished, and the broken bricks turned into dust and sand, which were then swallowed by the black flames.

High-concentration energy gel blocks were sprayed out, flying thousands of meters in all directions like scattered flowers before finally falling back down.

The annihilating force did not interact with this high-concentration energy gel.

The black flames mercilessly devoured everything, not only everything inside the Demon Hunter Castle, but also everything in the Green Courtyard. After that, the wooden fence of the Green Demon Hunter Castle courtyard formed a second line of defense.

A high-purity defensive shield completely enveloped what was inside!

"What's going on!?"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six giant snails, each with seven rings, fell from the sky and appeared before the Grimm Demon Hunter Castle at incredible speed, whereupon they discovered the out-of-control Annihilation Flame.

The second layer of defense, formed by the wooden fence of the Green Demon Hunter Castle campus, also began to tremble violently.

Startled, the six seven-ringed snail messengers all lay down on the defensive shield and began to reinforce it with the power of their seven rings.

Gradually, the defensive shield finally stabilized, and the annihilation power disaster subsided and began to dissipate.

A seven-ringed snail messenger looked coldly at Green.

"You, come with us to the Seventh Ring Holy Tower interrogation room right now!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the seven-ringed snail messenger seemed to sense something and exclaimed in surprise, "The primordial will of the wizarding world!? This…"

boo...

The second layer of defenses at Green Demon Hunter Castle shattered like a bubble in the sunlight.

Disheveled, with unfocused eyes and a haggard appearance, Green walked step by step toward the incredibly smooth, hundred-meter-long crater that his demon-hunting castle had transformed into, his golden hair disheveled.

"It's over, it's all gone..."

Everything inside the Green Demon Hunter Castle was gone, including the books in the library, the specimens collected over hundreds of years, the two eternal annihilation energy observation and recording devices, and the thousands of experimental materials that the witch spirits had purchased from the Purple Gold Fragrance family...

Everything is gone.

Even though the path of a wizard is full of difficulties and endless loneliness, Grimm never lost his confidence and was full of hope for the path of truth he would seek in the future, as if he were chasing a ray of dawn in the darkness.

But at this moment...

But at this moment!

Should we cherish our past efforts and start all over again?

"Honorable First-Class Medal of Honor Demon Hunter Wizard, you have caused significant damage to Demon Hunter Castle, violating the rules of the Holy Tower. Please come with us to the Seventh Ring Holy Tower interrogation room. We need to investigate the motive or cause of this accident or disaster, as it has disrupted the Demon Hunter Expedition. You need to take responsibility for your negligence."

Another seven-ringed snail messenger spoke to Green, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

The Demon Hunter Castles provide the power to leverage the lever of fate for the Demon Hunter Expedition Space Fortress. The countless Demon Hunter Castles beneath the Tree of Life are runes of a giant magic circle.

Damaging a rune does indeed violate the rules of the Holy Tower.

"There's nothing left, absolutely nothing..."

Millie and Hachi stared blankly at Green's dejected appearance. They had never seen Green like this before, as if he had lost all fighting spirit.

The six seven-ringed snail messengers were also at a loss.

More and more demon hunters gathered around to investigate, while some of them gradually left.

The annihilating flames obliterated everything inside the Green Demon Hunter Castle, leaving behind a miniature holy crater a hundred meters in size, perfectly smooth, yet without any trace of melting.

Everything that disappeared was simply completely annihilated by the power of annihilation; it was not an attack of any physical or energy nature.

"Green, you..."

Millie stood at the edge of the giant crater where the power of annihilation had vanished, her eyes moist with sympathy, looking at Green, who sat disheveled on the ground at the bottom of the crater, seemingly sobbing in a daze.

Suddenly, Green, who had been trembling and sobbing at the bottom of the giant pit with his golden hair disheveled, became eerily quiet.

Slowly, he picked up a broken branch from the ground with his right hand.

The broken branch, which had not been annihilated by the power of annihilation, now had its eerie lightning power replaced by a faint trace of annihilation power!

I've encountered some major changes in my life, so updates will be unstable before the end of the month, and there might even be no updates at all. I apologize.
