CHAPTER 377: 147 87 GOD’S GRACE COINS (PLEASE FAVORITE)_4

"At this point, what significance do these things hold?" Burn shook his head. "I don’t expect the children to avenge me..."

"Alright!"

Seeing Inid’s somber face, he sighed and said, "It’s Mike! Mike Donald! You might not know him, but Carl should. He’s the Doctor who was hired by the apothecary across from us. He is actually a Wizard, and quite a powerful one for someone in the early stages as a Wizard." After thinking for a moment, Burn continued, "This man must have some background. He was also the one who, using medicine, indirectly led to the downfall of the Capp family by luring the corrupt dragon."

「...」

On the way back, the two were silent.

"Burn used to study witchcraft with an elder of our family, and that’s when we met," Inid suddenly spoke up. "Back when we were young, we almost got married."

"Oh!" Carl raised an eyebrow. "Your friendship has truly stood the test of time."

"Yes!" Inid sighed. "Decades of old friendship. I did think about using my family’s power to help him seek revenge, but... forget it!" Even Burn himself had let go of his obsession with revenge. She was not good at fighting with magic, so why take the risk? In the end, she was old, lacking the hot-blooded impulsiveness of her youth.

"Hm?" Carl suddenly frowned, lifting the carriage curtain to look outside. "It seems like something is coming?"

"What is it?" Inid looked up, her eyes glowing faintly as she peered through the carriage at the sky. Her expression changed drastically. "Be careful!"

Before her words had finished, they had already rushed out of the carriage.

"BOOM!"

A streak of flowing light hit the carriage squarely, the entire compartment instantly dissolving. The rear halves of the horses pulling the carriage vanished as well.

Such power... First Rank Late Stage!

Carl’s eyes narrowed as he quickly looked back.

Countless iridescent bubbles had appeared in the street, skittering about in all directions. Anyone struck by a bubble immediately froze in place.

"It’s Phantom Bubbles!" Inid, wielding a Magic Wand, swatted away several bubbles and urged, "Quick, get out of the way!"

Phantom Bubbles? Vortex Spirit Butterfly! Carl’s mind raced.

Vortex Spirit Butterflies were Second Order Creatures, possessing the means to bewilder others, but their actual strength was not significant. One might even say they were weak. If one were immune to the illusions, even an ordinary person could capture it. The fluid secreted from its body was an indispensable ingredient for concocting Potions of Seeking Knowledge and even Potions of True Knowledge. Phantom Bubbles were the Vortex Spirit Butterfly’s most common tactic. He had heard it had appeared on the outskirts of the marketplace not long ago, attracting many to search for it. He hadn’t expected it to make its way here.

"SWOOSH!"

"SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"

Several figures appeared in the sky. A terrifying presence stirred in the air, even causing the sky to change color.

First-order Middle Stage!

First Rank Late Stage!

First Rank Late Stage!

「...」

"Why have so many masters come here?" Inid was dumbstruck. The gap in power between Official Wizards was even greater than between Wizard Apprentices and Wizards. A casual strike from a First Rank Late Stage Wizard could potentially kill her!

"It’s a hundred-year-old Vortex Spirit Butterfly," Carl reacted quickly, realizing immediately. "Only the Potion of True Knowledge, which can help a Wizard become a Second Circle Wizard, would interest them. The Vortex Spirit Butterfly aims to control these people to fight against the Wizards..." This is a disaster! Would these Wizards care if they hurt the innocent? The answer is... no!

"BOOM!"

"RUMBLE!"

Balls of Fierce Flame fell from the sky. That familiar heat and shape—Carl would never mistake it.

Chain Fireball!

Eight Chain Fireballs landed on the street, blowing buildings apart and charring figures to cinders.

Meteor Technique!

Giant meteorites, meters across, fell from the sky, gouging huge craters in the ground.

Negative Energy Surge!

A black torrent of energy surged forth like a loosed floodgate, barreling towards the Phantom Bubbles.

"BANG!"

A violent gust of wind hit Carl head-on, sending him flying. He landed hard, struggling to stand. Looking at the chaotic scene, he gritted his teeth, turned, and fled into the distance.

Escape! These First Rank Late Stage Wizards would stop at nothing in their pursuit of becoming Second Circle Wizards. Even if it meant destroying everything, as long as they achieved their goal, it would be worth it. Carl clenched his teeth. Even though he had become an Official Wizard, he was still fleeing in such a situation. That feeling of powerlessness was like a steel needle, deeply piercing his heart.

Get stronger! The Magic Forest and the Eastern Kingdom Continent were different. Powerful Wizards acted with few restraints. Here, it was the survival of the fittest, might made right. Without strength, you were nothing.

As thoughts roiled in his Sea of Consciousness, the Divine Domain Fragment residing deep within his Spiritual Inner Sea shimmered slightly. Source Material converted into a torrent of energy, pouring into his body. Ever since he sensed the location of the Divine Domain Fragment, Carl could perform certain actions even without entering it.

Constitution: 10.1
