Wizard's Journey

Chapter 634 Hunting Target (Part 8)

At the Shadow Thousand-Eyed Wizard Academy, Kaso was patrolling behind his mentor. The sky was filled with groups of slanted-eyed academy guardians, and layers of restrictions were activated.

It's too quiet.

"Why……"

Kaso couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was all because of that Hermit Wizard from the Nine-Headed Wrath Academy. Kaso and his mentor, Pildbo, who were originally going to the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy to participate in the Academy War, were temporarily assigned this Academy patrol mission by the Dean to strengthen the Academy's security.

That hermit is terrifying...

According to his mentor, Pildbo, a second-level wizard, in addition to creating the two major events that shocked the entire academy—bombing the wizard tower and destroying the academy's guardian's nest—no fewer than fifteen wizards have secretly died at the hands of this hermit, and most of them were elite second-level wizards in the academy!

In order to prevent greater psychological panic during the academy's war, the dean of the academy had to suppress this information and secretly strengthen security, seemingly planning a major operation against this hidden figure.

The fact that even a third-circle magic barrier has been activated is the best proof of that!

"The mission is finally complete, Caso. Get ready in a bit. I'm going to ask Dean Miguel for permission to go to the front lines to participate in the Academy War."

Pildbo turned around and spoke in front of Caso.

"Bang!"

Kaso's eyes lit up with delight. Finally, he could stop patrolling the academy! Who knew where that hidden figure was inside the academy? These days were just too boring...

boom!

Just as Kaso was looking forward to going to the front lines of the academy war to prove himself, a deafening explosion suddenly shattered the peace of the academy within the third-ring magical barrier of the Shadow Thousand-Eyed Wizard Academy, in the upper middle section of the wizard tower!

It was both incredibly oppressive and incredibly powerful.

A terrifying beam of energy, which Kaso felt was capable of destroying the world, burst forth from the wizard tower. It easily pierced through the tower's walls and the magical energy barrier, then penetrated the third-circle magical restriction. Like a rushing river, it shot out, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon.

The sudden change and the oppressive atmosphere almost made Casso suffocate.

Even the mentor Pildbo in front of him was horrified, and his calm magic suddenly surged.

Thousands upon thousands of squinting academy guardians gazed at the terrifying pillar of energy that ripped through the sky, the red light of destruction reflecting in their large eyes.

Immediately afterwards, these slanted-eyed academy guardians swung their tails at full speed and charged fearlessly toward the Shadow Thousand-Eyed Wizard Tower, their cold emotions like those of mechanical puppets.

Thousands of wizard apprentices who had not yet gone to the front lines of the academy war rushed out of the room. A strong hurricane blew their wizard robes, their hair was disheveled, and they all stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the pillar of energy shooting into the sky hundreds of meters above them.

Further away, all the official wizards on patrol, regardless of where they were or what they were doing, suddenly turned around, their pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints, as they felt the irresistible beam of energy pierce the sky, stirring the elemental clouds at the top of the wizard tower.

"tutor……"

As soon as he spoke, Kaso found his voice incredibly hoarse and trembling. Was he feeling fear?

"Enemy attack!"

Second-level wizard Pildbo reacted much faster than Caso. With a shriek, dozens of patrolling wizards from all directions of the academy shot forward, squeezing into the third-ring magical barrier and rushing headlong toward the high-level wizard tower from which the terrifying energy pillar had erupted.

On the wall of the fifty-eighth level of the Wizard Tower.

A perfectly round hole, five meters in diameter, appeared on top, symmetrical to a section of crumbling wall on the sixty-sixth floor of the Wizard Tower that had just been crudely repaired.

With a "whoosh," a disheveled figure rushed out of the cave first. His body was half-hidden and half-twisted. His eyes, hidden behind a gray-white mask, were fixed on the overwhelming swarm of slanted-eyed academy guardians and formal wizards rushing towards the wizard tower. He couldn't help but pause slightly.

This person was none other than Grimm, who had used the Magnetic Star Core to blast through the Wizard Tower and escape in a sorry state!

Within the three-ring magical defense barrier, which is spatially isolated and sealed off, Green cannot use long-distance spacetime teleportation magic to return to Xiao Ba's side. He must escape the range of this three-ring magic circle.

However, at this moment, the hundreds of squinting academy guardians and dozens of patrolling arcane wizards clearly did not give Green a chance to escape.

"King Leigri!"

An angry roar echoed from the Wizard Tower cave.

Even in his disheveled state, Green couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. The level two wizard marked by Little Eight Bird Droppings was naturally blasted into nothingness by Green's first-level Magnetic Star Core.

If a level three archmage is well prepared, he might be able to evade Green's Magnetic Star Core attack through his half-step Time Perception. These archmage were obviously aware of Green's Magnetic Star Core attack capabilities, so Green did not choose these level three archmage as his targets.

Green actually targeted the level 2 demon hunter wizard, Kinleyri, who possessed a level 3 honor medal, and blasted him into nothingness with a single blow!

Green had once given him a chance to leave, but he refused and instead came back to cause trouble for Green, who was casting a spacetime sealing spell.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six level-three archmages followed closely behind Green, rushing out of the wizard tower cave as well. Amirangiro stared at the half-distorted, illusory figure in the sky, his eyes filled with a hint of fear.

Just now, death brushed past me.

If one were to be hit by that terrifying attack, even just grazed by it, there would be no chance of survival. King Leggeri is the best example of this.

hum!

With a flash of lightning, the old witch Panku Aguda appeared as a bolt of lightning. The red lightning, burning like flames, crackled and shot through the sky, heading straight for Grin. The space around the arc of lightning even emitted a piercing sound like oil dripping from a pot and ice water splashing.

"Advanced qualitative change energy, molten lightning!"

Upon seeing the red lightning arc, Green immediately recalled the terrifying apocalyptic scene from his time as a wizard apprentice, when Peranos led him through a True Spirit Crater where molten lightning storms intertwined.

This old witch, Panku Aguda, has also completed a high-level energy transformation. She only needs a first-level honor medal and a soul transformation to attempt to build a wizard's tower and achieve the holy mark!

Green showed no fear and met the attack with a black arc of electricity of his own.

With a loud "boom," the black and red electric arcs were briefly locked in a stalemate before the black arc pushed the red arc back in one go. However, when it reached the twelve-meter limit, the black arc lost power and disappeared.

The surrounding light returned to calm, and Green dodged the incoming red arc of electricity with a quick movement.

"Such a high-level, transformative lightning power!"

Panku Aguda, the old witch, widened her eyes in disbelief. Although she had been able to maintain high-level energy output for a longer period of time due to her half-step into time and thus achieved victory in the energy clash, in terms of the degree of attack, the high-level energy controlled by her opponent was clearly far superior to her own.

Panku Aguda was unaware that, in fact, what Green called the black arc was merely a conductor of the black flames, the power of annihilation, as governed by the rules of the World Garment.
