113 Thirst for Strength
At night, when the stars were faint, Jack frowned and walked along the narrow passage of the camp with a group of wizard apprentices, he was in a very bad mood at the moment, and his left eye, which had been eroded by magic during the day, was aching.
Very worried, Jack returned to the building and called several wizard apprentices to inquire about the situation, although they all had memories of their souls being dragged out of their bodies and their bodies burned, but they had no experience of being forcibly detected by magic, which made him very uneasy.
At this time, Jack also inquired and understood that the ancient destruction technique 'Fudo's Soul Cutter' performed by Dilan Bacchus caused the soul of the wizard's apprentice to leave the body, and the evil god summoned by his elder Eskar Brans was the cause of the burns of most of the apprentices.
As for Jack's erosion by the magic of a mysterious wizard, the case of forcibly probing the spirit bubble is more special, and he may be the only one in the entire building who has encountered this kind of thing.
Jack now secretly regretted that he felt that he had been reckless in flying out to check on the desert situation, and that he might not have encountered such a thing if he had been hiding in a building.
Of course, Jack didn't know that even if he was hiding in a building, unlike Eskar and Dilan, two battle wizards who were attracted to attention, Ansio Vincent's perception of the 'Father of the Serpent' would not let him go of such an anomaly.
"Lord Romy, are you alright?"
While Jack was upset, a female apprentice from the Bacchus family kindly inquired, and she began to call Jack an adult because of the terrible sword in the morning, and was unusually respectful to him.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm tired today, and the wizard stationed there will come to ask you later, so be clever then, and don't talk nonsense about what you shouldn't say. ”
Expressionless, Jack briefly instructed the female apprentice, because they caught those traitors who attacked the prince, their team was called over for questioning, it seemed that they wanted to inquire carefully, after all, the 'ant cart' incident was the first thing they discovered.
"Well, I see, Lord Romy, don't worry. ”
The female apprentice of the Bacchus family obediently agreed, and the companions beside him nodded their heads, and Jack saw this scene without saying anything more, and at this time he looked ahead, the prince and the twin sisters were walking in silence.
Jack frowned slightly, Prince Kacano of the Inland Kingdom is okay, the two protectors are close to collapse at this time, they themselves have suffered a lot of injuries, and then they were affected by the magic of elite wizards, and now they have almost lost most of their combat ability.
"The slight burns are okay, mainly due to the effect of the soul leaving the body, it is estimated that there will be no three or four days to fully recover, Dilan Bacchus's ancient destruction technique is really terrifying, I don't know if the sword of Ella will have the same power in my hands. ”
Sighing slightly, Jack was a little scared when he remembered the terrifying magic during the day, Eskar Brans suppressed his power because he was afraid of his apprentice, and Dylan Bacchus ignored it, the powerful ancient destruction technique had completely shocked the wizard apprentices in the building.
Not long ago, some weak-willed logistics apprentices even cried out to leave this place, and the experience of their souls being dragged out alive was too terrifying, which made many logistics apprentices with no combat experience break down.
Although Dilan Bacchus has not yet fully mastered the ancient destruction technique 'Fudo's Soul Cutter', his power is already capable of killing elite wizards, and it can be said that it is difficult to find opponents below the 'Six Mentors'.
Jack's family elder Eskar Brans is the same, borrowing the power of the ninth evil god, the red dragon Dadamutes, he is also an elite wizard who can threaten and kill powerful people, otherwise he would not have snatched the position of the headmaster of the new district from Dilan.
"In the era of turmoil, the peaceful period on the continent is coming to an end, and I must also master the strength to advance to the official wizard as soon as possible!"
Clenching his palms, Jack had a strong thirst for strength in his heart, and the battles that had taken place during the day had made him realize his weakness, and if he didn't find a way to change the situation, he could only become the ashes and dregs of war.
Jack sighed deeply, now is different from the ancient environment, the era of instant promotion breakthrough has long been a thing of the past, without one or two years of running-in, it is impossible to sublimate spiritual power into a wizard, even his sister Shar is the same.
"After I go back, I will ponder the method of alternate meditation, the danger of physical collapse after the sword of Ella reaches the second stage is greatly reduced, and I should also consider the matter of advancing to the wizard, if the body and soul allow, I will forcibly 'complete' to shorten the promotion time, and the strengthened 'flesh and blood recovery' will probably help me survive." ”
Just as Jack frowned and thought, they also came to the room where the wizard was stationed, and the ten wizard apprentices tidied up their clothes a little and walked in, at this time the wizard inside had already sent a spiritual message urging them.
"The Brans, the Bacchus, tell me what happened today. ”
The dull and impatient voice, as soon as everyone entered, they felt a very suppressed spiritual power, and they immediately understood that the mood of this resident wizard was very bad at this time.
All limbs were severe, and a beautiful green-haired woman was floating in the air at this time, her hands and feet were devoured and blown away by the bloodline wizard, and she was now using magic to regenerate and heal, but the recovery was very slow, apparently affected by the other party's magic.
"My lord, it's like this, this afternoon, when there is a fight in the polluted desert......"
Quickly answered, the older sister of the twins began to recount what had happened, while Jack, who was next to him, watched the wizard in the room, who was seriously injured and spat out a little blood from time to time, as if he had returned to the camp to recuperate.
"The Outback Prince? Do they want to kidnap the Outback Prince as a hostage? Indeed, this will give the school a slight headache......
With a cold smile, the green-haired witch summoned her spiritual strength, and very quickly, several bloody wizard apprentices fell from the sky, they were the school traitors who attacked the prince, and they were sent over earlier.
"Hehe, it's really hidden enough, it actually set up three or four soul magic and hiding methods that interfere with memory, if it weren't for the soul eater given by Lord Eska, it might have taken some effort to deal with them."
The spirit was shaken, and the wizard apprentices who practiced the power of the bloodline began to groan in pain, and a beautiful blue insect like a butterfly was dancing around them, and from time to time, some points of light would emanate from the top of these apprentices' heads, which were the souls of the destroyed apprentices.
"Soul Eater?!"
Prince Kacano's face changed suddenly, and unconsciously, he took a few steps back, apparently afraid of this beautiful butterfly-like insect, and the twin sisters next to him also trembled and hid beside him, looking very afraid of it.
"Romy, stay away, this kind of magic pet is very dangerous and irritable, if you don't get it right, you will be devoured by its brain and soul, these wizard apprentices are estimated to become idiots in a while, and if we enter its perception range, it will also attract attacks. ”
Pulling gently, the prince kindly reminded Jack that his attitude had obviously changed a lot after being saved twice by the other party, although he still treated others the same, but he was more polite to Jack.
"Thank you. ”
Jack nodded slightly, the parasitic plant in his body also sensed the danger of this insect, not to mention that its power fluctuations were faintly close to the official wizard, and it alone could attack the soul was enough to be hot.
In this day and age, the souls of wizard apprentices are protected by spirit bubbles, and under normal circumstances, souls cannot be damaged by external forces, and those methods that can attack souls are very dangerous, and Dilan Barnes's ancient destruction is a good example.
The first ruler of the Inland Kingdom once said, 'A wizard apprentice with a spirit bubble in modern times could be called a level 10 wizard in ancient times', which shows the importance of spirit bubbles.
Because of the relationship between the elements and chaos, the souls of modern wizards are very easy to be injured in spellcasting, so the sages invented spirit bubbles to protect the soul, and this is also the progress of wizards' power, just like the human beings on earth transitioned from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.
Nine levels and ten rings, true name juggernaut, world lord, etc., these powerful wizard systems that once trembled the starry sky plane have all become a thing of the past, because of self-destruction and environmental changes, many magical powers have been completely eliminated.
Those who were once immortal have been beaten down to mortals, and the true mortals and the Infinite Plane may have become the dust and broken sand of the continent, where only the dead and dry land is eternal.
Of course, wizards' determination to thirst for power is not bound by the environment, and they continue to study magic on the resource-poor continent, hoping that one day they can rebuild the continent and restore the environment, which is the goal pursued by modern wizards.
While observing the 'Soul Eater', Jack sighed that it was not easy for modern wizards, and at the same time thought of those bloodline wizards, except for the apprentices who were struggling at the bottom, why would those bloodline wizards who had advanced to the elite level or stronger still destroy the continent?
You must know that the elite-level bloodline wizards are no longer in danger of getting out of control, and their bodies and spirits are very stable and powerful, but even so, they are still keen to destroy the continent, which makes Jack a little puzzled.
In recent history, with the exception of Zeka Arsa, the more powerful the bloodline wizards, the more they like to destroy the environment, as if they have some hatred for the land, and this is why the wizarding school and the kingdom will unite and strangle them.
"The madness genes left behind by ancient wizards, or the distortion of souls after devouring human flesh and blood?" I guess the answer is known only to them......"
His left eye hurt slightly, and Jack looked at the wizard apprentice who had turned into an alien monster and was silent, he vaguely felt that he would have a deep entanglement with those bloodline wizards in the future, and the huge snake tail that stirred up the polluted desert had been deeply engraved in his mind.
