Wizard's Journey

Chapter 698 The Bone Demon Deal (Part 2)

To the Bone Demon, the crystal ball was as insignificant as a grain of sand, yet it did not hinder the Bone Demon's observation of the soul.

The skeletal demon was clearly shocked by the wizard's amazing ability to manipulate the rules and amplify tiny energy into infinity.

"Alright, while my spacetime communication altar still has some residual energy, let's conduct a routine trade. What do you need, Bone Demon Lord?"

Green raised his head, and his elemental eyes beneath the Mask of Truth looked toward the Bone Demon. The exchange of tokens between the two had consumed a lot of altar crystal energy.

The Bone Demon burst into laughter during their soul communication.

"Hahaha, I need the skeletons of powerful creatures, like... this skull in your hand!"

The Bone Demon has set its sights on the World Lord's Skull, the Green Ram Horn Nightmare Magic Staff, which was the medium used by the Black Sota Stigmata Wizard to seal the Nightmare Shadow!

The skull of the Lord of the World—this skull demon certainly has good taste.

Green sneered inwardly, but outwardly remained calm, saying, "Want my magic wand? Then what can you offer in return?"

Green didn't believe the other party could offer anything that would make him give up the Ram's Horned Skull Staff. In Green's mind, the skull of the Lord of this World and the Ram's Horned Skull Staff were one, and the value of the Ram's Horned Skull Staff...

Although he sneered inwardly, out of basic courtesy for communicating and trading on an equal footing with creatures from another world, Green did not immediately refuse the other party before they offered a price.

Trade between distant, interdimensional worlds often represents the exchange of strengths and weaknesses between two worlds with different rules. What may be worthless in one world may be priceless in the other, especially when lower-level beings are trading.

Perhaps the other party can offer an even more powerful treasure that will make Green's heart flutter and make him willing to give up the Ram's Horned Skull Magic Staff?

After thinking for a moment, the Bone Demon let out a "vomit" and suddenly spat out a ball of soul fire.

The flames were purplish-black and over two meters tall. After falling into the bone hand, they were squeezed hard and compressed into the size of a crystal ball. At the same time, the purplish-black aura dissipated and transformed into an incomparably pure and transparent soul fire.

"This soul fire is worth a full 250,000 bolun, in terms of value..."

Grimm was extremely disappointed. For Grimm, who frequently participated in World Wars, collecting souls was incredibly easy. Perhaps for the Bone Demon world, souls were their standard currency and important resources to hoard, but for the vast majority of wizards in the Wizarding World, they had little value.

This skeletal demon seemed to have spent many years interacting with creatures from other worlds, and it was extremely perceptive of Grimm's displeasure, quickly asking, "Then, what do you need in exchange?"

After a few breaths of contemplation, Green said in a deep voice, "Materials more conducive to energy guidance, or... knowledge!"

"Knowledge?"

After muttering to himself for a moment, the Bone Demon slowly shook his head. Suddenly, his other bone hand reached out from his eye socket and pulled out a large piece of blue ice.

"This is the material I picked up from the battle ruins after the world lord who broke into the Bone Demon world was killed by several powerful Bone Kings. It should meet your requirements."

Beneath the surface of truth, the elemental light in Grimm's eyes suddenly lengthened the instant the Bone Demon took out the piece of blue ice.

"Extreme Cold Crystal!"

Green immediately recognized the materials that the Bone Demon had taken out.

Among the legendary alchemical materials of some ancient wizards, Extreme Cold Crystal is a high-grade alchemical material of the same level as the Alternate Marrow of the Face of Truth.

The higher the grade of the alchemical material, the more prominent the requirement for ductility. In this way, the magical artifact can be made large or small, with endless variations and countless uses. The melting and condensation ductility of the extreme cold crystal is almost comparable to that of the alien marrow, and at the same time, it comes with the ability to utilize high-level ice-attribute energy.

The extremely cold crystals held up by the Bone Demon's hand now seem like a small mountain to Green.

If these extremely cold crystals were fully released, they would expand infinitely until the end of their own cold energy condensation. At that point, their size would be unpredictable, perhaps even the size of a real mountain.

This is the ductility of extremely cold crystals.

If its cold energy were collected, it wouldn't be surprising if this small iceberg, which was over ten meters tall, shrank to the size of a fist.

Grimm fell silent, the energy of the altar beneath his feet gradually dwindling. Suddenly, as if making a decision, Grimm uttered in a low voice, "Deal!"

Losing the Ram's Horned Skull Magic Wand would indeed reduce Green's combat power, but if he obtained the Extreme Cold Crystal, he would have the foundation to create higher-level magic wands!

Within the skull sockets shrouded in purplish-black poisonous breath, the soul fire flickered excitedly. Then, the Extremely Cold Crystal shrank smaller and smaller in its palm, shrinking to about the size of Grin's crystal ball. On one side, Grin slowly pushed the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff into the spacetime vortex, while on the other side, the Bone Demon handed the Extremely Cold Crystal over from another world.

Almost simultaneously, the two obtained what the other wanted.

"Hahaha, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you. A powerful figure from another realm, I hope we'll have the opportunity to cooperate again. I am the leader of the Three Souls Collapse Bone Sect. What is your title?"

The moment the giant bone demon obtained the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff, it used its other hand to rip the staff off, glanced at the metal, and casually stuffed it into its eye socket. Then, it eagerly threw the ram horned skull into its mouth and swallowed it whole.

"Shadow of Despair!"

The extremely cold crystal, the size of a crystal ball, was surrounded by wisps of blue cold air in Grimm's hand. However, under the constraint of the electric arc of Grimm's World Garment, it gradually gathered together. Then, the extremely cold crystal, the size of a crystal ball, shrank again and gradually turned into the size of a fist before being thrown into the dimensional gap by Grimm.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

As Grimm spoke, the energy of the crystal on the magic altar was exhausted, the communication between time and space ended, and Grimm regained his half-step perception of time for three-eighteenths of a second.

call……

Green breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better.

"How interesting. No wonder in those demon-hunting expeditions, any creature capable of communicating with other worlds is revered as a prophet, a saint, or a sage..."

Muttering to himself, Green once again concealed himself under the robe of appearance, temporarily forgetting the matter, and continued to peruse the old wizard's collection of books in the underground chamber.

After about five hourglasses.

The old wizard took Cappuccino back to the underground laboratory. He buried his head in the experiments on the lab table, seemingly still searching for the reason for yesterday's failure, wondering if he had made some mistake.

On the other side, the little girl hummed a song and skipped to the laboratory, ignoring her grandfather. When she arrived at the center of the laboratory and saw the altar, she suddenly froze.

Cappuccino slowly walked to the altar and observed it carefully for a while. He looked suspicious and then turned his head to look around the room, as if he had noticed something different.

Immediately afterwards, the little girl walked straight to the bookshelf where Green was standing!
