Wizard's Journey

Chapter 804 Unstoppable (Part 5)

King Labrador of the Gem Sea feasted on the sumptuous meal, while the Black Witch Apprentice stood respectfully to the side, not daring to speak, waiting for the Black Witch Queen and Grimm to return from their visit to the laboratory.

"What is your master's name?"

Labrad didn't even look up, clearly well aware of the relationship between dark wizards and their apprentices, and asked indifferently.

In the Dark Domain, there is no mentor-student relationship of knowledge inheritance and favor between wizards and students. This black witch apprentice is just one of the high-ranking slaves that the female black witch queen accidentally gained. He helps the female black witch queen replace one generation of high-ranking maids with black witchcraft. When there is a lack of certain rare resources, he hands them over to the Black Witch Tower to exchange for a batch of resources. He serves as a puppet when the female black witch queen rises to power. That's all.

If we were to pinpoint the two strongest desires of this black magic apprentice...

One of the ideas was that the old witch would hand him over to the Black Witch Tower when certain experimental materials were scarce, and he would gain his freedom after completing some of the Black Witch Tower's tasks.

The other one hopes the old witch will die immediately so that he can take over this perfect, enormous laboratory and become a true dark wizard!

"Reporting to Your Majesty the Sea King, my master is the Evil Grail, Caladan. It is said that this Evil Grail is an ancient sorcery with immense power. After my master obtained it, he unleashed its full power, making it incredibly strong. Thus, 2,500 years ago, he was listed as one of the thirty-six strongest Black Witch Kings of the Black Domain Alliance."

A large, green-scaled hand placed the food down. Labrad stopped eating, exclaiming in surprise, "One of the thirty-six Black Witch Kings of the Black Domain Alliance!?"

No wonder Labrad was surprised.

The Azure Phosphorus Ghost Flame Black Witch King that it intends to lead Green to meet is one of the thirty-six Black Witch Kings of the Black Domain Alliance!

In the Black Witch Continent, there are countless Black Witch Kings, but only thirty-six are recognized as the most powerful at the top. Unexpectedly, this Black Witch Laboratory, which we just casually stopped at while traveling, turned out to be such a terrifying Black Witch King.

Such a powerful dark wizard...

No, we'd better leave here quickly!

The Dark Realm is not like the Wizarding Continent, bound by the powerful rules of the Holy Tower. If Grimm really clashes with the evil Holy Grail Carradine, his rescue might offend this powerful Black Wizard King, and if he were to set foot in the Dark Realm again...

Feeling uneasy, Labrad lost all interest in the lavish meal.

This is, after all, the wizarding world. Even if it's a dark wizard, the sea creatures can't easily interfere. The Sea King's Altar holds an extremely awkward position in the wizarding world.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, my master is indeed celebrating his 6,000th birthday today. He only invited you two on a whim and meant no harm..."

Boom!

Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation emanated from the ground beneath their feet, causing the entire mountain to tremble. The black witch apprentice, who was only halfway through his sentence, froze, then met Labrad's cold, piercing gaze. He was so frightened that he stumbled back several steps, pressed himself against the wall, and turned deathly pale.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar...

From the depths of the tunnel came the roars of the chimera behemoths. The chimeras at the two entrances of the main hall, which were responsible for shaking the metal hanging door chains, seemed to be summoned as well. They slammed their fists into their chests, bared their fangs, and the ground shook with a "thump, thump, thump" as they rushed into the depths of the cave.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

The sounds of underground battle were short and intense. Two terrifying wizards were locked in a fierce battle in the confined space underground. Waves of energy rippled up the floor, causing the chandeliers on the hall ceiling to sway from side to side, rubble to fall, and wine glasses to shatter on the floor.

"As expected, something bad happened. That bastard!"

Enraged, Labrador roared, and with a loud thud, cracks spread out of the floor beneath his feet. He glanced sideways at the black witch apprentice, as if he were about to slap the weak creature to death at any moment.

Terrified, the black witch apprentice cried out, "No, don't kill me! I know the magical control center of this laboratory, the source of evil and despair. Give me some time, and I can temporarily disable the control!"

"The source of evil and despair? What is that?"

Labrad took a step in front of the black witch apprentice, his webbed hands with sharp nails hovering in mid-air.

"This is a storage device for human despair that the master built in this laboratory. Because the master had already reached the limit of his own shackles in collecting human despair, and the dream of becoming a Saintly Wizard was still far away, he specially researched this evil source of despair. In the laboratory, in conjunction with the Evil Holy Grail, the master can unleash 150% of his power!"

Labrad gasped and withdrew his hand.

As expected of one of the thirty-six strongest Dark Wizard Kings of the Dark Wizard Alliance, Dark Wizards naturally have a natural advantage over humans, and now he's unleashing 150% of his power. This Grimm is probably beyond saving...

Is it worth the risk to go underground to rescue Green?

Labrador was caught in a difficult decision, the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive, and the black wizard apprentice's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Time passed unnoticed as the two waited in silence.

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble...

Suddenly, the sounds of fierce fighting from underground grew louder as they approached, and the hall shook even more violently. Labrad and the black wizard apprentice simultaneously looked into the darkness into the depths of the tunnel, as if some enormous creature was chasing them. The energy fluctuation in front of them was desperately fleeing in pursuit, but for the time being, it did not seem to be in any immediate danger.

"They actually escaped!?"

Labrad exclaimed in surprise.

The black wizard apprentice standing to the side also had an incredulous look in his eyes. This elemental wizard had actually escaped from the attack of the evil Holy Grail Carradine?

It seems that this elemental wizard holds an extraordinary position in the Wizarding Continent!

"Hmph, do you want to die or live?"

The three-meter-tall King of the Gem Sea, Labrador, covered in green scales, held a giant trident in one hand and pointed it into the depths of the tunnel, seemingly having made up his mind to save Green.

"I want to live!"

The black magic apprentice did not hesitate at all.

As for how to face the old witch after this, let's focus on surviving for now. As a valuable asset to the old witch, she might be reluctant to kill me and use me to exchange for resources at the Black Witch Tower.

"Hmph, then go to the control center of the Source of Evil and Despair now, and once the people who fled ahead come out, you shut down the restriction on the Source of Evil and Despair."

Labrad glanced at them, and the black witch apprentice scrambled toward a secret chamber.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

The vibrations grew closer, and feeling the immense power deep within the tunnel, Labrad, who was waiting at the tunnel entrance to meet Green, couldn't help but gasp. This Black Witch King was far too terrifying!

I told him not to come, but he did...

After leaving this time, I will definitely demand a large sum of compensation.

Having made up his mind, Labrad calmed down and focused his gaze intently into the depths of the tunnel. In the darkness, a figure escaped at lightning speed.

"drink!"

Labrad instinctively reacted by passing the figure, helping "Grimm" temporarily intercept the terrifying female black witch queen who was chasing after him.

However, in the midst of the chaos, Labrad was shocked to discover that the fleeing figure... was none other than the female Black Witch King!

At this moment, the female black witch queen, her face filled with panic, was riding on her magic staff, fleeing frantically, while the evil holy grail in her hand was gathering from all directions a dense, black, and desperate emotion of humanity.

"How is that possible! Who's chasing us...?"

Bang!

A massive figure, curled up in a narrow tunnel and sprinting wildly outwards, ruthlessly shoved aside Labrad, who was trying to intercept it.

With its violent, chilling, and ruthless eyes, and its roaring, fanged maw, it slapped a five-meter-tall humanoid chimera, shrouded in despair, into a pile of minced meat before squeezing the behemoth out of the tunnel.

"This is... Grimm, the Shadow of Despair!?"

Karadin stood in the center of the hall, holding the evil Holy Grail aloft, a terrifying aura swirling around him.

Then, the black mist transformed into a giant cobra. Under its enormous body, Labrad and the Savage Giant seemed to become tiny. The cobra occupied the entire hall and pounced on the Savage Giant, who had just emerged from the tunnel.

"Die!"

Carradine was hysterical, acting like a madman.

Roar!

The savage giant supported the Black Mist Cobra's massive jaws as they snapped and clenched. However, with the continuous surge of human despair power emanating from the entire laboratory castle, the savage giant gradually weakened, seemingly unable to withstand the Black Mist Cobra's bite and devouring, which was about to unleash an even higher level of savage instinct.

Um! ?

Just then, the power of despair that had been continuously gathering around the Black Mist Cobra disappeared!

The black witch apprentice shut down the source of evil despair.

The black wizard apprentice, who had been hesitating by the controller, stopped hesitating and immediately shut down the laboratory's source of evil despair controller when he saw his former master being chased by the enormous beast that the elemental wizard had transformed into.

As long as the master dies, I can take her place and become the new master of this laboratory!

How could this black witch apprentice resist such temptation?

Amidst Calradin's astonishment, Labrad's delight, and the savage giant's roar, a black arc of lightning crackled and twisted, vanishing in a flash.

The black arc of annihilation obliterated the head of the black mist cobra. Without the blessing of the evil source of despair inside the laboratory, the female black witch queen, whose power had greatly diminished, did not have time to cast any more black magic. Crackling sounds filled the air as an arc of annihilation surged from the savage giant who had teleported to her side, obliterating him completely into nothingness.

"Killed!?"

"Dead?"

Labrad and the Black Witch Apprentice murmured in astonishment upon witnessing this scene: a renowned Black Witch King had been killed by Grin just like that?

Before anyone could react, the crimson evil Holy Grail suddenly flashed out of the laboratory and shot off into the distant sky at incredible speed.

"Ah...you can't escape, you evil elemental wizard who invaded the Black Witch Continent! You will be hunted down by the Black Witch Alliance, ah..."

From within the evil Holy Grail came Carradine's hysterical, agonizing screams.

"The Art of the Life Box?"

The savage giant also reacted, its body, over ten meters long, transformed into a bolt of lightning, using elemental teleportation to chase after it, disappearing into the horizon in a flash.
