Wizard's Journey

Chapter 631 Hunting Target (Part 5)

"Hehehe, young master, the fourteenth mission objective is complete. What's next?"

There are still two months until the Wizarding Continent's once-in-a-decade recruitment of wizard apprentices. In the past four months, every move Green has made has been reported to the highest levels of the Shadow Thousand Eyes Academy. As for the mission to destroy the Academy's Guardian's Nest that he just completed, it was an event that was enough to shake the entire academy!

The impact it has had is no less than that of Green's attack on the Wizard Tower.

After a long silence, Green suddenly turned his head and said, "Little Eight, do you remember why I didn't delve deeper into curse magic before?"

"Gah!?"

Xiao Ba froze, slowly turning around to stare blankly at Green, then screamed in disbelief and surprise, "Young Master, you...you wouldn't be thinking of using my 'Inverted Purpose Curse' sorcery, would you!?"

Green smiled and asked, "What's our relationship?"

"Huh? A soulmate?"

Xiao Ba shook his head and said matter-of-factly.

"We're not just soulmates, we're emotional friends. Shouldn't friends joke around with each other?"

Green spoke calmly to Xiao Ba, but it didn't sound like something Green should say.

Xiao Ba's only legitimate witchcraft is this so-called "Inverted Curse" witchcraft, which is said to have been created by Xiao Ba with seven thousand years of sweat and wisdom in order to design Antonio. It is a super curse witchcraft that no creature below level three can escape its doom!

This spell's power varies depending on the recipient's strength, the intimacy of the physical information collected, and the amount of magic power provided to Xiao Ba. It was originally an incredibly powerful high-level curse spell, but it was abandoned due to Xiao Ba's design purpose and has never been used.

"Waaah, young master, is everything you're saying true? I'm not well-educated, please don't lie to me!"

Xiao Ba pretended to wipe away tears while secretly glancing at Green.

"Of course it's true!"

Green said it with certainty.

"Gah!? Grimm, I'm so happy you said that! You have no idea how that old bastard's soul partner, Old Bat, bullied me back then. Damn it, I swore back then that one day I would find a summon that was more promising, easier to get along with, liked me more, and was more perfect than that old jerk. Hahahahahaha!"

Beneath the surface of truth, a patch of blackness covered Green's forehead; this guy was far too prone to taking advantage of others.

After a full thousand years, Green finally managed to accept the spell of Little Eight's upside-down curse. That bastard...

"Oh dear, young master, don't be angry! But you said it was just a joke between friends! That's exactly what the Great Curse of the Upside-Down Curse was designed for, hehehehe. From now on, you're my Grimm Beast. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll curse them to death, hehehehehe... I'm so happy today!"

With a snort, Green ultimately said nothing more.

However, Green finally understood why Hachi had always hated bats. Was it because the soul companion of the ancient Antonio True Spirit Wizard was a bat?

Moreover, it seems that this bat and Xiao Ba have always had a bad relationship.

What is the relationship between Xiao Ba and Antonio?

Once Xiaoba loses itself as a medium for soul communication, it will revert to its original form, a handkerchief, and can only exist in the dimensional gap, not in the real world.

As for the ancient Steel Emblem Myna in the Wizarding World, although they have the talent to communicate with certain mystical forces, there is never any information indicating that they have the ability to communicate between dimensions!

Dimensional gaps are absolutely illusory spaces constructed by imagination. Even a wizard like Grimm, who has the talent to pry open dimensional gap rifts, can only do so by consuming his own memory to open the dimensional gap rifts and cast the dimensional gap spacetime sealing spell.

However, since the dimensional gaps are too illusory and cannot be reached by real beings, the same applies to wizards like Grimm!

According to Xiao Ba, that is the very edge of the endless dimensional barrier, the edge between this three-dimensional world and a higher or lower dimensional world.

So how was Xiao Ba able to survive inside and move freely in and out?

In fact, Green has always had an uncertain answer in his heart, an answer to the question of his origins that even Hachiman himself doesn't know.

Little Eight is not actually the ancient steel-emblem myna from the Wizarding World. It is just a creature from the dimensional gap in the imaginary world created by Antonio, a steel-emblem myna pattern that flew out of a handkerchief!

Only in this way can all of Green's questions be perfectly explained, and all the clues Green obtained be understood.

Hachi is not the Steel-Crested Myna from the Wizarding World. While the Steel-Crested Myna does exist, its depiction in illustrations differs somewhat in size from Hachi.

Xiao Ba is not Antonio's soul companion from ancient times. Otherwise, after Antonio advanced to the ninth level as an ancient true spirit wizard and transcended the endless world, it would be impossible for Xiao Ba to remain in the endless world. In addition, Xiao Ba just said that Antonio's soul companion is actually a mysterious bat.

It seems that Xiao Ba is indeed an important hidden clue left by Antonio in the endless world, which may contain some secrets of Antonio's research on higher-level dimensions beyond the dimensional gaps!

It was after these speculations that Green, looking at Hachiman who was happy and carefree every day, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

Like itself, it is a rootless being in the wizarding world, unaware of its origins, as if it were a tool to complete a certain mission. Everything it does seems to be for its own benefit, but in reality, it is not living for itself.

Green seemed to see himself in Little Eight.

"Alright, I need to complete the Four Secret Great Spell Completion Plan in the next few days. You can tell me all the spells and incantations of the Great Curse of Putting the Cart Before the Horse in detail. I won't be angry."

Little Hachi was extremely excited, holding its neck and tail high in the air.

"Hehehe, young master, you'd better listen carefully. This is the most perfect spell that I, Xiao Ba, spent seven thousand years designing."

After saying that, Xiao Ba cleared his throat with a cough.

"Great Eighth Master, your loyal servant, the Mega-Evolved Grimmon, is willing to offer up my magic power and begs you to unleash your might, to guide the illusory and mysterious with your noble will..."

…………

Seven days later.

Crackling sounds!

As a black arc of annihilation power shot out, Green carefully experienced the changes he had undergone after gaining the talent of natural power.

"The mana cost for casting spells has been reduced by half!"

Green murmured in shock. The effect was truly astonishing. No wonder both ancient and modern wizards highly praised this natural power talent, which was most suitable for wizards.

Of course, for ordinary people, the real attraction of the natural power talent is that it represents a born wizard.

In addition, with the talent of natural power, Grimm's speed of mana recovery will be greatly increased, which is equivalent to indirectly reducing mana consumption again and strengthening the wizard's ability to fight for a long time.

"Hehehe, young master, your four secret great sorceries are complete. What do we do now?"

Little Eight stood on Green's shoulder and asked.

Beneath the mask of truth, Grimm raised his head, gazing towards the distant Shadow Thousand-Eyed Wizard Tower, and coldly said, "Little Eight, it's time to remove your mark. Did he think he was safe hiding inside the wizard tower? Hmph..."
