Chapter 406: Real Illusion
The moment he rushed out of the mezzanine, Thor felt as if he was hit by a beam of black light.
Strangely, he didn't feel any injuries or discomfort.
After returning to the second warehouse, Thor rushed back to his body without thinking too much.
After that, he stood up and looked at senior Byron who came out before him.
But when Thor sat up, he was stunned again.
This...is this still the second warehouse?
All around were broken walls and ruins.
If he hadn't been lying in the shadow of the corner, he would probably have seen the sunlight falling on the ground as soon as he opened his eyes.
"What happened? How come the wizard tower collapsed in the blink of an eye?"
"Xiao Zao!"
Thor immediately called out to the Soul-Devouring Swamp in his body, but no black tentacles came out to respond to him.
"Penny?"
There were no silver butterflies flitting around in his peripheral vision.
Thor's face darkened a little, but then gradually relaxed.
"Hallucination? Hypnosis?"
He took two steps forward and thrust his hand into the sunlight.
There seems to be some warmth, but also no warmth.
"Could it be the last beam of black light?" Thor pondered.
The black light shot out of his eyes hit him but did not cause any harm, but since it was the last resort to stop him and Senior Byron, it would definitely not be completely ineffective.
Since the attacks from the ghost fragments are not energy-type damage, they are basically mental damage.
"But the scene of this illusion is quite interesting. These vengeful spirit fragments living in the mezzanine of the wizard tower can actually create an illusion that the wizard tower has collapsed."
Although he might be trapped in an illusion, Thor was not too anxious. The most urgent task was to find the flaw in this illusion and then unlock its core based on the weakness.
Or you can just storm.
Thor walked completely into the sunlight and looked back at the wizard tower behind him.
The floors above the first floor of the Wizard Tower had completely disappeared. Most of the ceiling on the first floor of the East Tower was also missing.
There was only a shadow where Thor had been lying before, blocking his view upwards.
"It disappeared so completely, and with the debris on the ground, we can only piece together the second floor at most. So where did the rest go?"
Although everything in front of him should be an illusion, finding the logical points in the illusion is also a breakthrough. Therefore, Thor carefully observed the surrounding environment and tried to deduce the reasons why the wizard tower became what it is now.
"It seems like it has been affected by some powerful witchcraft." Thor walked from the East Tower to the West Tower.
When he passed the ramp, lush vegetation appeared in front of him.
The East Tower is still the same as before, with the nearby ground all flat, and only grass beginning to appear intermittently about a hundred meters away.
But it’s different here in Sita.
Behind a clear boundary line, grass and trees half a person's height grew.
When the wind blows, the lush green grass undulates like waves of wheat.
But the scene was far from beautiful.
When the branches and leaves slightly lowered, half of the skull was revealed behind the green.
There were many skulls sticking out from behind the bushes.
Not just one place, not just one area, not just one place...
Some skulls are higher, with a few remaining teeth visible on the upper jaw; others are shorter, with only two dark eye sockets visible.
Some of the skulls are relatively complete, while others have obvious fatal wounds.
But no matter how tall, short, fat or thin, or whether they are broken or not, they all face the ruins of the wizard tower.
Judging from the height, he is either sitting... or kneeling.
Thor walked into the bushes.
The closer you are, the clearer you can see.
Neither sitting nor kneeling.
Under these skulls are rough wooden stakes.
They were arranged neatly and placed squarely on the grass.
Carefully adjust the direction so that the eyes of all the skulls are facing the wizard tower.
Even if Thor thought this scene was an illusion, it was still too heavy.
"Who's there?" An old voice suddenly came from the other end of the wizard tower.
Thor suddenly became alert and surprised at the same time.
It is also a good thing for changes to occur and for there to be a presence that can give feedback.
Thor carefully walked around the skull standing in the grass and quickly walked towards the source of the sound.
However, just when he was halfway there, a dark gray ray shot out from the front.
The magical fluctuations were so clear and familiar that Thor subconsciously activated the spiritual armor technique.
The 0th level sorcery that struck the undead was unable to penetrate the 1st level spiritual armor.
But both the attacker and Thor, the defender, were stunned for a moment.
"The operation of magic is very real." Thor looked at his hands. Under the control of his spiritual body, his fingers were quickly becoming translucent. "And they are very sensitive. I can hardly feel the lag caused by the illusion. But it is also possible that the witchcraft I cast myself is not an illusion."
But this alone cannot explain why the other party's magic fluctuations are so clear.
Could it be that the other party was also dragged into the illusion? Thor took two more steps forward and saw the person who had just attacked him.
The man had white hair, a wrinkled face, watery eyes, and was wearing a black wizard robe. He stood behind a broken wall with some reluctance.
After launching an attack on Thor, he just stood there, stretching his neck, as if trying to carefully identify Thor's appearance.
"Are you...Thor?" The other party actually called out his name and was very surprised, as if he had seen a ghost.
And Thor also found a familiar feeling in the other person, as if he had seen this person before and was quite familiar with him.
But his memory told him that he had never seen the old wizard.
"You, how come you are here, and still so... young? No, you haven't changed at all." The old wizard's eyes kept scanning Thor's body, and the surprise on his face became more and more.
Thor's gaze fell on the other's cloudy eyes, and he could vaguely see that both eyes must have been severely injured.
And the original eyes seemed to be a different color.
"Are you...Haywood?" Although it was normal to see anything in a fantasy, Thor still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"It's me." Heywood narrowed his eyes and walked out from behind the broken wall. "Thor, where have you been all these years?"
"These years? How many years? I remember we just met?" Thor rolled his eyes and cooperated.
"Don't you know? The last time we met was clearly a hundred years ago!"
At this moment, Thor wanted to laugh, but he also felt a sense of absurd reality.
"Really?" Thor asked back, "Then do you remember what we talked about the last time we met?"
The old-looking Heywood fell into deep thought. After a moment, he lifted his heavy eyelids and looked at Thor. "You don't believe it? Haha, it seems that you have been living a chaotic life for the past hundred years."
Thor raised his right eyebrow but didn't defend himself.
The smile on old Heywood's face flashed away, as if his sagging, heavy skin could not support a smile for so long.
"Although my body is failing, my memory is not as chaotic as yours. The night before we parted, you came to me to borrow Heidi to go to the mezzanine to look for something." Old Heywood's eyes passed over Thor's head and looked at the sea of grass and corpses behind him, and continued to recall, "But Heidi's condition was unstable and she was too important to me, so I didn't agree. In the end, I lent you a fish, and you gave me a bottle of witch body transformation potion."
"Then why haven't you been useful all these years?" Thor looked at the old Haywood's skin. Although it was full of wrinkles and dull due to age, it was definitely not grayish white.
"Because I haven't researched it thoroughly yet, a rebellion broke out in the wizard tower!" Old Heywood's face suddenly twisted, and he cursed loudly, with spit flying far away.
"Those sons of bitches! They betrayed their mentor!"
"They killed Mentor Gorza!"
