"Niko, Rook."

Wayne flickered away, and the sixteen phantom clones scattered, intending to cast a spell of enchantment.

But, the next second!

All the phantom clones were instantly shattered by Ales.

Wayne came to a slowly sinking three-masted galleon on the edge of the harbor, standing tall at the top of the mast, calmly watching the figure like black lightning.

"It's useless, Director Alex. I'm no longer the investigator I was when I first joined the Secret Investigation Division. ”

"Really?"

Ales didn't lose any speed, and after slashing through and shattering the phantom clone, he instantly came to Wayne's side.

"Arrow of Calamity!"

Rumble!

Black lightning struck the three-masted galleon, and the entire hull was reduced to black powder under the erosion of the source of the calamity.

And Wayne flickered away again, appearing in mid-air, his red pupils flickering slightly, and glanced at the panel attributes in his mind.

Toughness Rating: 22348

Spirit Rating: 22348

Origin: 1523 (1524) (seal one point origin)

Survival point: 137340

The thousands of abyssal monsters that he had just killed and devoured had given him a considerable boost, especially the reward for killing a great demon.

Wayne said secretly: If you want to improve your strength as soon as possible, you still have to fight often......

No

It's to kill!

Only by killing too much will his power grow rapidly!

Thinking like this, Wayne snapped his fingers as he looked at the incoming figure.

The four Origin Descendants, each except the driver, cast a spell and shot at Ales.

"Bray, Franço, Ava!"

"Deep, Rocco, Door!"

"Gia, Lil, Kings."

“……”

For a moment, the elements such as lightning, frost, and flame shone one one after another.

As the gray mist rose out of it, a huge crystal white bone palm fell from the sky and slapped towards Ales.

"Such spells have no effect on me!"

Ales dodged the spell attack, and even the bone palm dodged like a lightning bolt.

"Little one, the enemy this time...... Calamity? ”

In the rune circle, the voice of the King of Bones came out gloomily.

As he spoke, the five fingers of the falling bone palm opened and bent in an instant, blocking the trajectory that Ales must pass.

Bang!

"It's ......"

Ales subconsciously turned around, and then burst back!

"yes."

Wayne stared at Ales's figure and replied calmly, "This time it's a calamity!" ”

"Ho ho, good origin power, but it's a pity ......"

Before the King of Bones could finish speaking, he disappeared into the rune circle due to the time of the spell.

Ales frowned, looking at Wayne with a gloomy face.

What is that? Legendary creatures of the world of the dead?

The moment he just collided, his origin power was almost collapsed by that bone palm.

It must be a very high-level undead creature of extraordinary level!

Wayne ...... Why does he always have some spells with very unique effects......

It seems that he can't go on like this, and if he can't take him himself, he will die at the hands of Asmir when the battle is over.

Thinking of this, Ales took out a statue of his height and came out.

"Huh?"

Wayne frowned slightly, is it the one from the city-state of Custer?

Enhance Origin ......

Wayne took out the silver melodica from the spatial ring and held it in his hand, and asked, "Have you ever been back to the city-state of Custer?" Director Alex. ”

"Of course!"

Ales did not deny it, patted the bow of the ship next to him, which was several times larger, and chuckled: "Thanks to Menor, without him, I would not have been able to escape the pursuit of the 'heroic' saint, and it would have been impossible to get this forbidden object and rush to Alexei Island......"

"Menor?"

Wayne raised his eyebrows, and suddenly his heart was in his heart, no wonder the "heroic" saintess of the Dawn Church had not appeared until now, it turned out that it was Menor's spatial teleportation ability to help.

"I know you've joined the Eternal Life Society, and in fact, I have a good relationship with them, so it's not as good as ......"

Ales said as he rubbed the ship's bow statue, and several strange origin powers surged from his body, and continued, "Why don't you give Tina to me, and I will let Menor help you become the new Immortal Elder?" ”

"Huh!"

"Menor, I'll go look for him, but you- must die here!"

Wayne sneered, put the melodica to his mouth, and blew it.

Soft and bright music echoed through the empty and messy port, and almost everyone felt the lack of strength in their bodies.

Even in the sky, Salvatore Samuel Cabo, with four pairs of bone wings, was no exception!

"Damn it! Who is it!? ”

Mubarak, who was turning into a shadow to attack Salvatore, instantly returned to his original form, and his shadow origin was inexplicably useless after that melodica music.

It wasn't like he had been dissolved before, this time he could feel that the shadow source was still in his body, but he couldn't use it, let alone consume it.

For a moment, he was stunned on the spot, and there was only one voice left in his head: Dead!

It was barely resisting, but now it can't be beaten......

No, not even the ability to escape!

The same is true of Asmir next to him, but he is better than Mubarak, only a loss of mental strength......

Salvatore frowned, he could feel that he was missing a spell rune brand.

"Don't make such a fuss, isn't it just that the origin is gone? Lao Tzu also lost a spell brand, did I say anything? ”

He looked at Wayne, who had four Origin Descendants below, and his gaze fell on the ghost's forehead, where there was indeed an extra spell brand, the same level as the one he was gone......

"But for now, you can wait and die."

Although it was unclear what was going on, Salvatore didn't mind taking out the Illager in front of him before killing Mubarak.

If he really escaped, he would call his eldest brother to go to the Southern Continent.

I'm sure the Shadow School will figure out what to do!

"Go on, I haven't tried the power of the Calamity Origin yet!"

As he spoke, Salvatore's bones shook behind him and he struck straight at Asmir.

Below, Alex glared at Wayne in a fit of rage.

He had just obtained the amplification effect of the xenomorph origin with the help of the power of the ship's bow image, but he didn't expect that a feeling of weakness came from his body immediately afterward.

The amount of terrifying resilience that had disappeared had consumed half of his own source of calamity.

One comes and goes, which means that there is no increase?!

"You...... Your taboos ......"

"As I said, I am not the same now as before!"

Wayne replied in a flat tone, the origin power did not increase much, but the toughness level and spirit level in his body had increased terrifyingly, which filled his body with a sense of strength.

Especially in his gestures, a faint shadow was attached, so that every movement of him had the blessing of the shadow origin-

Toughness Rating: 22358 (44716)

Spirit Class: 22358 (33537)

Origin: 1533 (1534) (seal one point origin)

Wayne turned off the panel, and his attributes increased so much, no wonder he felt that vigorous power!

Then, instead of dodging like before, he cast the spell he had just learned for the first time—

"Domingo, Plus, Naxi!"

The ghost looked excited, and after chanting the incantation, it turned into a gray mist and fell above Wayne's head and blended in.

In an instant, the ring formed by the necromancy rune imprint appeared at the center of Wayne's eyebrows, and a pair of eyes emitted two dim red halos.

"Hmm."

"Is this what it feels like to melt your soul?"

Wayne clenched his fists, and he felt that he could control all parts of his body, even if it was a single hair, he could exert his own original power.

And his spells—

[You are affected by the Soul Melting Spell, fuse the Origin Descendant "Ghost", and gain a buff effect: Spell Level +1 of your Necromancer Spell System!] 】

All undead spell levels are increased by one level......

The corners of Wayne's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at Ales and said, "Go on, delay any longer, Tina should be in a hurry!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he recited the incantation that had been chanted by the ghost before:

"Seychel, plus, BYD!"

In the next second, a terrifying scream resounded all around!

"Not good!"

Ales secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly blocked his ears, and at the same time, the figure shot backwards and moved away.

But—

[The Fear Howl (Death) spell you unleash hits Ales Koulibaly, causing him to fall into a state of fear and despair for 20 seconds.] Rating: Oh? It's pretty good, not bad...... Special Rewards: +30 Survival Points, +1 Spirit Level. 】

Damn it, damn it......

Under the gaze of that terrifying being, Ales couldn't even move a finger.

In a blur, there was only this thought left in my mind - would it be good to die like this......

Immediately after, Wayne's body suddenly swelled a few times, and under the boiling blood spell, the whole person was like a volcano about to erupt.

Bang!

With a kick on his foot, he appeared next to Ales and threw a punch down.

"This punch, for myself!"

Rumble!

Ales sank into the harbor, and the raging waters swept in, pouring into the pit that had just appeared.

Wayne's face was calm, his figure flashed, and he stepped on his head.

"This kick is still for myself."

But when he was forced to leave the city-state of Karst!

Bang!

"This punch, for Tina!"

Even a little girl like that, you hurt it?!

Rumble!

"Now, for the people who died because of you in the city-state of Caster!"

Wayne punch after punch, kick after kick, and bombarded Ales continuously.

Even if his body was protected by the source of calamity, when he lost consciousness, the recovery effect was not very good.

Not only that, but along with his fists, the two origin descendants of the secret master and the red ghost were also releasing spells.

Even so, it took nearly a minute for him to completely deal with Alex.

[You use the Claw of the Dead (Reaper) spell to injure Ales Koulibaly. Evaluation: Some growth...... Special Rewards: +10 Survival Points, +1 Spirit Level, +1 Toughness Level. 】

[Discover the origin that can be devoured, do you use the soul devouring spell?] 】

Wayne looked at the barely formable Ales, and his face couldn't help but show some complexity.

If he could have had this kind of power when he was in the city-state of Custer, would he still choose the same way before?

Soon, he nodded inwardly.

Yes!

Tina, such a little girl, was born in despair - just like when she first entered this world, she was unfamiliar with everything around her, and could only passively accept the arrangement of fate.

"Goodbye, Director Ales Koulibaly......"

"Adagua!" (Soul Eater!) ）

[You use the Soul Eater spell to devour part of Alex Coolibaly's Origin, and your Origin is enhanced.] Evaluation: The source of calamity, ho ho. Special Reward: Origin +10. 】

After doing this, Wayne picked up the bow statue that had fallen to the ground, looked at it, and threw it into the spatial ring.

One more taboo -

[You touch the bow of the "Forbidden Item 0-91 Homecoming", the fate trajectory changes slightly, and the current encounter progress is 30/100.] Special Rewards: Origin +5, Tenacity Level +5, Spirit Level +5. 】

The process of killing Ales this time was much smoother than he expected......

Well, thanks to the Salvatore legend in ......

At this time, Asmir, who was fighting fiercely with Salvatore in the sky, felt the dissipation of the aura of the calamity below, and cursed in his heart.

"Oh? Well done, little one. Salvatore also noticed the end of the battle below, and glared at Asmir, "Stay there honestly, let me kill you so you can show off to the little one." ”

"Humph!"

Asmir snorted coldly, and took advantage of Salvatore's attack to retreat in an instant, landing on the high wall of the city-state, and looking at Wayne: "I will come to you again!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he melted into the shadows, trying to escape the island.

"Want to run?"

Salvatore glanced around, his bone wings vibrating twice, and instantly appeared outside a building in the city-state, and the death scythe in his hand swung and slashed.

"Leave me ...... Well? ”

The scythe slashed only part of his body, and more disappeared in strange ways.

"Running so fast, I want to know the inside story of the old calendar!"

Victoria's etching knife ...... It's the woman's weapon......

Is she really dead?

Thinking of this, Salvatore lifted the spell and returned to his original appearance, his face a little pale.

Tsk, the source consumption is too large...... Really, if the little guy doesn't join the Forbidden Research Institute, it's a loss!

On the other side, Wayne looked at Salvatore, who was in pursuit, and his eyes fell on Mubarak.

"Wizard ...... of the School of Shadows"

"Humph!"

Mubarak glared at him in shame and did not reply. I regret coming to help Ales this time.

As a result, he did not achieve any goals, but because of the arrival of Salvatore, his origin was greatly reduced.

Now he has to be threatened by a great wizard......

"Killing you shouldn't cause the hatred of the Shadow School, right?"

Wayne landed beside him lightly, still holding the melodica in his hand, looking at Mubarak in front of him, as if a voice had been echoing in his mind: kill him, devour, kill him, devour!

Kill him?

Kill a legendary wizard and he should get a lot of ......

Thinking like this, Wayne blasted over with a punch -

Well?

Salvatore appeared beside him and stopped him, "Wait and talk, little one." ”

Wayne frowned and asked suspiciously, "You want to let him go?" ”

"Of course not." Salvatore shook his head slightly, glanced at the frightened Mubarak and chuckled: "He is still somewhat useful, it is a pity to kill it now." ”

"Oh."

Resisting the temptation to kill Mubarak for a reward, Wayne let out a sigh of relief.

Reward......

The urge to get a reward is not as threatening as Salvatore's strength!

"You ......" Mubarak's face turned pale, not glad that he did not die at the hands of Wayne, he glared at Salvatore and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"What do you say?"

Seeing that his shadow origin power had recovered, Salvatore put his arms around his neck and said in a low tone: "With you, you can prove that you are the perpetrator, and I believe that the shadow school must have paid more." ”

"Don't even think about it!"

Mubarak's face changed slightly, these damned robbers, thieves, and bastards had long coveted the inheritance of their Shadow School.

He could imagine how much damage would have been lost once the school had agreed.

"It's up to you!"

Salvatore slapped him in the abdomen, swinging the Origin and instantly imprinting a small rune circle on it.

"You!?"

Mubarak looked at the magic circle in front of him, and fell to the ground limply, worse than just now when he couldn't use the origin, this time he couldn't even feel the shadow origin.

"You, kill me!"

"It's all said, I won't kill you." Salvatore didn't forget to ask with a smile: "How does the Blood Spirit School's Forbidden Seal Rune Circle taste?" ”

"That's right, your Shadow Sect has a magic circle with a similar effect, and I hope it can be used from that side this time...... Well, learn it. ”

"Impossible!"

"Then it depends on the courage of your chief!"

Salvatore took out a coffin and threw Mubarak into it.

Wayne was speechless for a moment, it seemed that the act of borrowing from the spell knowledge of other schools had been engraved on every ghost wizard.

"Alright, when that's over, we can leave the island."

"Hmm."

Wayne looked out into the distance, where a legendary member of the Cult of Desire was battling the beast of the depths.

But get out of here......

"Legend of Salvatore, you want to take me back to the school?"

"What, don't you want to go back yet?" Salvatore chuckled, "Is it reluctant to the outside world, or are you afraid of the school?" ”

Reluctant?

Not really.

But he still has a few things to do.

At the same time -

Wayne pursed his lips and said softly, "I've always had a question. ”

"Tell me about it."

"I once devoured a Shadow Intelligence Officer, and I gained a far greater Origin Boost than the others...... So, I'm worried about ......"

Salvatore was a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to meet other ghost wizards before. ”

"Yes." Wayne's heart tensed.

This was his constant concern, and one of the reasons why he didn't dare to return to the ghost.

Salvatore was silent for a few seconds, then sighed: "Your concerns are right. ”

"Huh?"

"In fact, since the creation of the Wraith, there have always been some impure occult wizards. Within the school there is a unified name for them - Devourer! ”

Salvatore said with a somewhat ugly face: "The higher-ups are also aware of their existence, although there are measures to guard against them, but they have not been cleared out for several epochs. ”

"Many arcane wizards like you, who have great talents, have been killed and devoured by them."

Wayne frowned, "Then why don't you just clean them up?" ”

It was hard for him to understand why the Wraiths had left such a threat in the school.

Could it be that those wizards who will do anything for the sake of power are also part of the school?

"On the one hand, they are very hidden, and several cleanups have no effect. On the other hand......"

"Some of them devoured the Devourers, and they also played a major role in several crises of the Guardian School."

"Therefore, most of the previous chiefs chose to turn a blind eye in order not to let the school hurt their muscles and bones."

"Now that you've devoured it, you know how tempting that kind of ascension is to wizards. Even I ......"

Speaking of this, Salvatore paused, his eyes showed a little gloom, and said in a low tone: "Even I, for a while, could not resist that temptation. ”

"You?"

Wayne was stunned, and secretly became vigilant in his heart.

"Don't be afraid," Salvatore said, waving his hand, as if sensing his thoughts. ”

"Anyway, you don't have to worry about the devourers of the school, those people may be dying......"

Before the new calendar? More than a thousand years ago?

"Do legendary wizards live that long?"

Wayne nodded, without those threats, and if he returned to the school, he would be safeguarded.

But fortunately, the legendary wizard in front of him is not a devourer, otherwise he would not be able to escape if he wanted to.

"Yes, if you transform into an undead creature like Boras and don't get killed, you can always survive."

Salvatore smiled, "I don't want to be an undead, though, because life would be a lack of fun. ”

"If you can't feel the temperature of the subject, you can't smell the blood, and the difficulty of the research will be much more difficult......"

Wayne: "......"

That's really a chic reason.

"To get back to the point, are you sure you're not going back to the school?"
