Wizard's Journey

Chapter 571 Colorful Neon (Part Two)

After a few hourglasses.

Ok?

Suddenly, Grimm, who had transformed into darkness, stopped inside the rugged, dark cave.

Because right in front of them, on the stone wall, within the black-and-white structural diagram perceived by ultrasonic positioning magic, a giant six-legged spider appeared.

Without a doubt, this is a level three ancient creature of this world, possessing evil blood within its body, and an indestructible and imposing aura emanates from its form.

This is the body of Green that was once helplessly and passively evolved into a flesh-and-blood creature.

Without the control of immense energy, without ingenious survival methods, and after losing the rules of neon disguise and being affected by the rules of evil blood evolution, the only thing that flesh and blood creatures in this world have is the strongest and toughest body accumulated over the years.

"Hypersensitive light perception? Didn't detect my presence?"

In order to obtain 1,700 Witch Essences to pay for the Seventh Ring Holy Tower, Grimm would certainly not let go of the evil blood in the body of this ancient creature. Even if he could not seal it and hand it over to the Starlight of Weichong Peak, simply destroying the evil blood would still give Grimm a certain reward in the final settlement of the Space Fortress rewards.

Located halfway up the cave, hidden in the darkness, Green did not act immediately.

A sneak attack!?

In a one-on-one head-on battle, while the Annihilation Power that Green currently possesses is absolutely capable of blasting a Level 3 creature to death, this is merely its offensive capability.

Having previously fought against the main body of the evil blood clone, Grimm had already begun to recognize his own weaknesses.

First, the World Garment's Arc Lightning, which carries the power of annihilation, has a very short range, forcing Grimm to engage in close-quarters combat with these powerful creatures.

Secondly, the magic power consumed by activating the Annihilation Power is astonishing. This is equivalent to Grimm constantly using the Explosive Flame Spell. Without the support of the Wizard Tower's magic source, such high-level energy cannot become a regular spell like Fireball.

Finally, there is the weakness of being the lowest of beings, only able to perceive the superficial passage of time.

This represents an invisible weakening of insight and reaction speed, and the powerful energy fluctuations of the Annihilation Force will undoubtedly arouse the highest alertness of the target, causing them to exert all their strength to evade, thus greatly reducing Green's chance of hitting the target.

Of course, this is also because Grimm's annihilation power primarily targets higher beings.

A sneak attack naturally increases the hit rate of the Annihilation Power on the target, making it a good offensive method. At this moment, the Dark Source provides Grimm with the conditions for concealment!

So...

Green held his breath, doing his best to control the overflowing energy fluctuations of himself. He used ultrasonic positioning magic to lock onto the six-legged spider in front of him, which seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening, and slowly approached it.

Green kept getting closer.

Closer and closer, it's almost at the twelve-meter limit of the annihilation power's attack range!

Looking at the six-legged spider with its agile body about three meters ahead, it was licking its forelimbs with its mandibles. The patterns on its body were like the camouflage of a stone wall, deep black, exuding an aura of incomparable hardness. In addition to a pair of main eyes on its head, there were three pairs of super-luminous compound eyes on its back. A layer of greasy liquid covered its deep black stone skin.

In addition to the ultrasonic positioning magic of the Face of Truth, Green's endless thermo-visual perception also came into play at this time.

The oily coating on the six-legged spider's body seemed to have a heat-protecting effect, but in Green's thermodynamic vision, it provided him with an incredibly clear image.

Beneath the source of darkness, Grimm secretly pointed his ram-horned skull magic staff at the six-legged spider, his heart pounding in his chest.

This stealthy attack, hidden beneath a facade of disguise, gave Green a strange sense of pleasure.

Isn't this exactly how Green felt as a nightmare hunter in the nightmare world?

If he possessed the robe of appearance and the ability to conceal the wondrous senses of all sorts of creatures, then Green would become the "Hunter of Reality"!

hiss!

Suddenly, the six-legged spider seemed to sense something. It froze, its eight eyes darting around, sensing any possible anomalies in its surroundings.

Green immediately stopped everything, not daring to close his eyes even for a moment, and could only think.

"Is it breathing? Or was it an abnormal airflow that was accidentally caused?"

Green didn't move, but the six-legged spider remained alert, ready to pounce at any moment. After a long while, Green suddenly thought of something.

"Was it the hostility perceived through my own desires that triggered the other party's instinctive alertness to danger?!"

Body-refining wizards, including Grimm, all know that as their bodies grow stronger, their wild instincts are unlocked to a higher level, and their sense of danger in the shadows becomes increasingly acute.

Pure body-refining wizards are generally able to perfectly control their hostility; ambushes and survival are the most basic combat abilities of body-refining wizards.

How to control one's hostility?

Although Green was a body-refining wizard, the path he had followed since becoming a formal wizard had always been that of an elemental wizard, wholeheartedly studying the power of annihilation and other elemental wizard knowledge. His only achievement on the path of body-refining wizard was unlocking two layers of wild instinct.

Now, thinking back to the techniques for body-refining wizards to control their hostility...

The murderous intent in Green's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a mechanical indifference. He calmly collected the various data he sensed, analyzing it with the coldest of thoughts, forcibly stripping away the killing desire from his will.

At that moment, Green looked at the six-legged spider in front of him as if it were a stone!

All Green had to do was destroy the obstructing stone, and gradually, the flow of blood in Green's body seemed to slow down.

Everything was Green's first time copying and forcing his way through, and it was done very slowly, very stiffly, and very awkwardly.

Green kept experimenting with the body-training wizard techniques he had previously deciphered, searching for that feeling. His blood seemed to begin to chill, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Green felt like a cold, venomous snake lurking in the darkness.

Gritting his teeth, Green forced himself to maintain this state through sheer willpower.

After a while, it seemed that the concealment of its murderous intent had taken effect. The six-legged spider gradually relaxed and became less vigilant, and once again began to use its mandibles to coat the surface of its forelimbs with a layer of sticky fluid.

A victor's smile played on his lips as, in the darkness, Green lightly tapped the unsuspecting six-legged spider with his ram-horned nightmare magic staff.

With crackling sounds, arcs of annihilation power shot out.

"Oh no!"

At the very moment the arc of electricity carrying the power of annihilation shot out, Green seemed to break free from that extreme cold.

With a loud "boom," the annihilation arc struck the six-legged spider's side, but it did not kill it.

The instant Green unleashed his annihilating arc of electricity, his opponent seemed to sense the dangerous aura emanating from Green and made a conventional evasive maneuver.

"Was it because of my relaxation at the last moment? Yes, I seemed to get excited and showed a victor's smile? This is an unforgivable mistake! It seems that my path of body tempering still has a long way to go."

Green was frustrated, but it was no use.

Fortunately, the six-legged spider was attacked from the side by the arc of annihilation power. Although it did not hit a vital spot and kill it instantly, the terrifying attack of more than 4,500 degrees, combined with the characteristics of annihilation power, completely obliterated one-third of the six-legged spider's body!

Amidst hissing screams, fluids flowed from the six-legged spider's annihilated body. Only four of its six legs remained, with two of the three legs on one side being blasted away and destroyed.

This demonstrates the power of annihilation!

The defensive power of a level three pure body-refining passive evolution creature, which Green could not overcome before, is now easily torn apart by Green.

With the exception of a few special creatures, the vast majority of beings below the level of World Lords faced Grimm's annihilation power attack...

A mere glancing blow will cause injury, a direct hit will kill!

"Since a sneak attack won't work, let's just go for it!"

The Green mutated magnetic field was released, and the Celestial Star Stone turned into black mist that wrapped around the heavily injured six-legged spider, applying gravity. A small ball of black flame ignited again on the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff, and distorted light from all directions was pulled in, while a high-density oscillating magnetic field spread out.

"Hmm? If the source of darkness were used to envelop the World Garment's rules of lightning arcs, perfectly concealing the fluctuations of the annihilation power pulling and absorbing light from all directions, it would be even more advantageous for a sneak attack in the dark..."

A short while later.

The severely injured six-legged spider was struck by Grimm's ram-horned nightmare magic staff, which was burning with the power of annihilation in black flames, and ceased to struggle.

Excitedly, Green took out a special crystal glass bottle, found a few drops of evil blood from the ancient creature's body, and sealed them away.
