Chapter 743: Pentagram 1

Bestana murmured, "Do I have another way to go?"

There was something wrong with Bestana's condition. Her voice was muffled, as if she was speaking in a box.

Her mood was extremely negative. Even though sacrifices from the outside world were still causing tragedy, she seemed to be convinced that she could not be resurrected.

But this was totally inconsistent with her decisive move to initiate a city-wide sacrifice.

Just now when she was about to drag Thor and Char to die together, she still had her final determination, but when she heard Thor say that there was a second way, it seemed as if all the strength in her body had drained away.

"Anyway, you have no other choice but to trust me, right?"

Bestana rolled her eyes reluctantly, "If I believe you, I will only become your experimental subject."

"Of course there is a price to pay for the deal, but it's different from the experimental subject you imagined. You can survive rationally, but your freedom will be restricted. However, I can promise that after you have served me for a hundred years, I will set you free."

While Bestana was still hesitating, Thor had already used his mental power to secretly investigate her situation.

He had to be careful about what Bestana was doing in secret. At the same time, her hesitant, fragile and sensitive state was really unlike that of a third-level wizard.

At this moment, when his mental power swept across a shadow tightly wrapped by roots behind Bestana, he suddenly felt a burning sensation, as if burned by something.

"What is that?" Thor was curious.

Unexpectedly, Bestana answered him directly, "It's a wishing candle."

"Wishing candles?" Thor had never heard of this thing, but why did Bestana really answer him? Could it be that this guy has gone crazy?

After being reminded by Thor, Bestana remembered the wishing candle she had just received from Char.

"This thing is of no use to me." She held a white candle in front of Thor with a branch, "and I have to bear the cost of using it."

Thor's mental power first swept over the ordinary-looking candle before he took it.

At this moment, the candle suddenly lit up with a "click".

At the same time, Thor's heart moved, he opened his left hand, and a dark red thick leather book appeared in his palm.

[May 15, 320th year of the lunar calendar, sunny

Wishing candles,

Cursed thing.

Every time a candle is lit,

You can make a wish.

It will summon a prop from the void that will help you realize your wish.

But it is not responsible for ensuring that your wishes come true.

But as someone who makes a wish and blows out the candles,

One of your negative emotions will be amplified.

The more difficult it is to achieve a wish,

The stronger your negative emotions are.

Until your soul is completely twisted,

Finally it becomes the candle wick. 】

Thor looked at Char who was still unconscious beside him, and Bestana who had lost her fighting spirit in front of him, and finally understood what caused the abnormalities in the two people's personalities.

Bestana's magnified emotion should be despair.

As for Char...

Maybe it's paranoia?

After the death wizard appeared on Thor's palm, Bestana has been staring at the diary.

Thor closed the diary and placed a corner of the hardcover book against the remaining skin on Bestana's face.

"You don't have time. If you agree to the deal, then relax and don't resist. If you don't agree, let's fight to the death."

After saying that, Thor didn't wait for Beth to consider and immediately used the Diary of the Dead Wizard to absorb Bestana's soul.

After all, Bestana was once a third-level wizard, and she is not completely dead now. If she resists, the diary may not be able to absorb her spirit.

But the diary was only slightly obstructed, and soon absorbed Bestana's soul and turned into Thor's fifth black page.

The loss of Bestana's roots completely turned the last bit of her body into tree roots.

At the same time, the inverted tree without its controller began to grow wildly, and in just a few seconds it completely swallowed up Thor and Char beside him.

The space at the center of the tree was also shaking unsteadily.

Without Bestana's control, the inverted tree began to grow freely according to its mood.

If it can no longer be controlled, it may evolve into a terrifying third-level monster that devours human souls everywhere.

"Wake up, it's your turn next!" Thor picked up the unconscious Char, spun him twice in the air, and threw him hard into the center where Bestana had just been.

Char suddenly opened his eyes just before being thrown into the heart of the tree, as if he had been pretending to be unconscious. As a result, Thor threw him into the inverted tree without even asking any questions.

Poor Char didn't even have time to say a word before he was sucked into the inverted tree that suddenly lost its core.

But he really needed the upside-down tree. Even though he was angry, he still settled down to be a stable tree.

Xia opened his eyes and said, "I..."

He had just said a word when he was shocked to see Thor waving his fist to hit him.

"You do..."

Again, Char was unable to finish his words as he was once again distracted by the red beam of light from Thor's fist.

Char's vision immediately turned red, and even his consciousness came to a brief standstill.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This stagnation did not last long. It seemed like just a blink of an eye and the dazzling red light disappeared.

When Char saw everything clearly again, Thor was already standing opposite him leisurely, holding a dark red hardcover book in his hand. His movements were elegant and his temperament was calm.

It was as if the person who had just swung his fist at someone was not him at all.

"What the hell did you just do? Did you plant some explosives in my body? Or did you put a curse on me?"

Thor was not surprised by Char's series of questions.

But he did not respond immediately. He waited until he was sure that Keli's auxiliary magic circle had been connected to Char's before he looked up. "This is my attempt at transformation. It is also a way to ensure that you will not follow Bestana's old path in the future."

At this time, Char was still in the core of the Inverted Tree, without even a body of his own.

Although he was bewitched by Thor, he came to steal Bestana's inverted tree to use it as a basis for his resurrection.

But in fact, he didn't have a clear plan on how to resurrect.

Even a powerful third-level wizard like Bestana was unable to use the Inverted Tree to resurrect.

Can a first-level wizard like him—even though he considers himself a genius—really do something that even a third-level wizard can't do? For now, he can only trust Thor.

Thor knew that Char still didn't trust him. If the other party had not been parasitized by the Star Eyes, Kong Pao would have already run to another location of the Inverted Tree to avoid Thor.

Thor took out the wishing candle, which had not yet gone out, as if tempting Thor to make a wish quickly.

But Thor did not make a wish and returned it to Char.

Char looked at Thor in disbelief, he thought no one could resist the temptation of a wishing candle, but Thor gave him the candle without making any wish.

"Can you move now? If not, I can keep this candle for you first."

Char tried his best and finally manipulated two slender and soft roots to take the candle back from Thor.

But even after getting the candle, he still felt a sense of unreality.

"Why don't you want the wishing candle that everyone is rushing to get?"

"Is it really a good thing to be cursed to lose part of your sanity every time you make a wish? As a wizard, being able to control your own brain and sanity is the most important thing."

After reading the diary's introduction to the wishing candle, Thor decided not to use this candle.

There is no cheat more important than a wizard's brain.

But Thor was interested in something else.

"I'll give you the candle back, and in return you give me the crystal bottle."

Xia was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how Thor knew about the crystal bottle. It was obvious that Thor was not in the space at that time.

"I can give it to you, but I'm not sure what the bottle of water does. You need to study it yourself."

With difficulty, Char used a branch to bring the crystal bottle to Thor.

Thor watched as Char moved with difficulty.

"Looking at your condition, it will take a long time for you to adapt... But I can't always watch you in the tree core space."

After getting back the most important wishing candle, Xia calmed down a lot. He was finally able to say rationally, "What do you need me to do?"

"Stop offering sacrifices to the outside world, collect all the branches, and make more noise."

Xia didn't know what Thor was going to do, but now that he was on the same boat with Thor, he could only say, "I'll try my best."
