Wizard's Journey

Chapter 922 The Wizard's Calamity (Part 6)

Rumble...

Wherever the wizard's will passed, life was ravaged and disasters spread. Countless mutated creatures, large and small, resembling apes and pangolins, gathered in this world were unintentionally wiped out.

High in the sky, beneath the Mask of Truth, Grimm's eyes peered through the thin, chaotic mist, watching as the lush vegetation on the ground was toppled and shattered by the rampaging army of monstrous slaves, patiently awaiting news.

Xiao Ba, perched atop the Mysterious Thousand-Headed Bird, cast a massive shadow as it soared through the high sky, constantly patrolling.

"It seems there are no traces of underground people here either."

Agmond shook his head in disappointment. He was about to give an order to lead his massive army of slave monsters onward to search for any possible traces of subterranean people in other regions when he was stopped by Grin.

Agmond looked at Green with a puzzled expression.

"No need to rush. The Devil's Locust Vine is the natural enemy of these subterranean people. According to information obtained by the evolved humans, subterranean people did indeed appear near the L base. After they invented a certain plant extinction powder and fought against the tree people, they gradually disappeared."

After a pause, Green continued, "The roots of the Devil's Vine haven't spread over here yet, and the young wizards below haven't reported any large-scale intelligent creature groups. It would be too incredible if there really weren't any underground beings hiding the cave entrance. Let's wait patiently."

After Green's analysis, Agmond nodded and continued to wait.

On the ground, a massive crystal beast rumbled forward, its over thirty-meter-tall body knocking down trees along its path. Even some mutated, aggressive plants were helpless against this heavy, thick-skinned behemoth.

On the back of the behemoth, a dozen or so arcane wizards from some unknown academy gathered together, looking around, searching for traces of the underground people, a task issued by the four great holy wizards in the sky.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Ahead, on the mountainside, a magnificent waterfall appears, with the river rushing down, and every now and then one or two giant bird monsters soaring and spreading their wings and flying by.

Just as the crystal behemoth was about to cross the waterfall like the other slave monsters, one of the dozen or so wizards on its back, a water elemental witch, suddenly noticed something and let out a scream.

"Here! Here!"

The witch wore round-framed glasses, and a glint of azure light occasionally flashed in her pupils, as if she possessed some kind of special perception ability. In her excitement, she led the other witches around her to fly up from the back of the crystal behemoth and head straight for the waterfall.

Pfft!

The cave hidden behind the waterfall came into view of these wizards, along with several bizarre creatures that walked upright with hundreds of soft tentacles on their faces, communicating with each other using low-frequency sounds. There were hundreds of them, all of them B-rank, A-rank, or even S-rank!

"Target: Subterranean beings spotted. Get out of here immediately."

Upon seeing these underground beings, the dozen or so arcane wizards reacted immediately and retreated rapidly towards the outside of the waterfall. However, the witch who first discovered the hidden cave screamed in surprise as a pair of stone walls firmly gripped her feet.

These subterranean beings not only have external support from the Dark World, but their talent for manipulating earth and stone is also not to be underestimated. At the same time, these wizards who were about to escape were surprised to find that the cave was rapidly healing and sealing itself off.

This was actually a trap set by the underground people in an attempt to capture these wizards!

"what……"

"These guys!"

If it were any other creature, or even a body-refining wizard or a mechanical wizard, they might have already fallen into the trap silently. However, as elemental wizards, two of the dozen or so wizards, being level two wizards, immediately activated elemental teleportation upon realizing the danger and vanished from the cave in an instant, leaving behind the terrified infrasonic roars of the many underground people.

call out!call out!

The two level-two elemental arcane wizards, a man and a woman, escaped from the hidden cave of the Rapid Healing Waterfall through elemental teleportation. They looked up at the four holy-marked wizards in the sky who had caused a large-scale elemental distortion and stood like four hurricanes. They flew over without pausing and their faces were somewhat pale.

"Um?"

While taking a break to study the profound knowledge of the source of annihilation, Grimm, in his hundred-meter-tall savage giant form, Sun Chaser, looked over along with the other three Saint Mark Wizards.

Two low-level arcane wizards bowed in respect.

"The Great Sword of Destruction Saint Mark Wizard, the Supreme Magic Hand Saint Mark Wizard, the Tower of Annihilation Saint Mark Wizard, the Battle Body Saint Mark Wizard, just now..."

……

boom!

Agmond's massive body, wielding a blood axe, seemed poised to cleave the entire mountain range in two. Boulders rumbled and scattered, and several massive stones, far exceeding human size, were casually tossed aside, revealing a buried cave before them.

"Hmph, you guard the cave entrance well. Anyone who comes out, kill them without mercy!"

Agmond turned and gave orders to the surrounding legion of slave monsters, which were encircling them from all directions, in the sky and on the ground. Hundreds of arcane wizards were quickly setting up a magic circle to cover the entrance.

Roar!

Amidst the howls and roars of numerous monsters, Agmond, Ghostspring, and Sivirnis entered the relatively spacious cave one after another. The cave was now empty, with no trace of the subterranean people or the captured wizards.

Grimm's Sunstrider transformation ended, and he transformed into a human body with wandering, seven-colored runes, and stepped into the cave.

call……

The cave was well-ventilated, with a dozen branching entrances of varying sizes and shapes, resembling an anthill maze. While Agmond, Ghost Spring, and Sivirnis were observing and making their choices, Green Nose had already determined the direction by the scent of the captured wizard and had already stepped out.

"Over here."

As the four ventured deeper into the cave, the echoes of their footsteps reverberated within. The unbridled invaders were gradually approaching the core of the subterranean people, who could no longer pretend to ignore them and continue to hide.

Click! Click! Click!

Hundreds of stone cones suddenly fell from above, but of the four holy-marked wizards, only Little Eight on Green's shoulder at the very front glanced at them curiously.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff...

After the stone cone approached the four holy-marked wizards and released waves of power over ten meters away, it was disintegrated into sand and gravel.

There was no way forward, and it seemed like the end had been reached. But Green, who was at the forefront, did not stop for a moment. After getting within a few meters, the stone wall began to crack and split open.

Bang!

Stones flew everywhere, and from the vast underground space inside, a chorus of wails could be heard, as if people had been injured by the flying stones.

"Oh? Quite a lot."

As Green stepped into the empty underground space, he was somewhat surprised to see over ten thousand subterranean people staring at him in terror, forming a human wall in a defensive posture.

With a wave of his hand, a gravitational fluctuation caused a subterranean being about 1.5 meters tall to be pulled towards him by Grimm, screaming in surprise. The subterranean being howled without regard for the feelings of the other subterranean beings, was an elemental wizard's instinctive specimen observation behavior.

"Don't waste your time on these little things!"

Agmond and Youquan transformed into two afterimages, charging relentlessly into the underground crowd. Instantly, layers of blood and gore swept through the air. With each swing of their axe and sword, even the mere ripples of power they unleashed were far beyond what these world lords, who saw them as weak creatures like ants and worms, could withstand.

"Even the Stigmata don't change this barbaric way of thinking..."

As Sivirnis muttered to himself, he approached the still-breathing remains of a subterranean human and, without any hesitation, used his hands to pry open the bleeding abdomen, studying the internal organs on his own.
