"boom!"

"boom!"

Deep in the Black Swamp.

The thick poisonous miasma, as sticky as liquid, was now vibrating violently with a roar.

Center.

A towering tree shook wildly, each leaf like a hungry mouth, devouring the surrounding poisonous miasma.

As the poisonous miasma dissipated, the originally lush and green towering trees also turned dark and gloomy.

Second Ring Wizard - Life Sacrifice! The gray-robed wizard Addison, holding the Star Gate, had a solemn expression, and a wizard power in his inner sea of ​​spirit was activated.

The next moment.

His body collapsed silently, and the towering tree behind him, which was well fed and well-drained, withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All the energy turned into a pure life force and poured into the broken magical weapon.

The life of the second-ring wizard drives the 'Star Gate' to operate.

Addison's soul controls it to open the door to the wizarding world.

This also means that the only second-ring wizard in the Kingdom of Gondor, the gray-robed wizard Addison, died.

Perhaps there are still fragments of his soul in the star gate, but they can never escape and will only slowly dissipate with the passage of time.

"tutor!"

Marianne staggered, tears welling up in her eyes, as she watched the person who had been with her for decades disappear.

The grief is hard to describe in words.

But it was only for a moment, as if she had thought of something, a light flashed in her eyes, and her sadness immediately subsided.

The others also had complicated expressions. Most of them were not familiar with Addison, but they could still admire his greatness.

In order to open the way to the wizarding world for others, he would rather sacrifice himself.

To be honest, they didn't think this was a smart choice and could only attribute the reason to the other party's great spirit.

“Buzz…”

My eyes suddenly lit up.

The blinding light flashed and disappeared.

A ball of soft light followed closely behind, emerging from the center of the star gate, gradually growing larger, and finally turning into a huge ball of light.

The light ball was about three meters in diameter, floating quietly in the air, with countless connected rune options inside.

"Stargate?"

Someone murmured, "Is this the Star Gate?"

It was different from what they imagined.

The opened star gate is still not in the shape of a 'gate', but a ball of light.

"That's right."

Someone nodded:

"The so-called star gate is a passage opened by distorting time and space. It should be three-dimensional."

"Huh?"

"What is that?"

I saw a black dot appearing in the center of the star gate, and it was moving around inside as if it had intelligence.

Immediately following.

A halo of light leaped out from the star gate and landed on the field.

Several official wizards retreated together, casting spells to protect themselves, and looked at the halo cautiously.

Various offensive witchcrafts are in a semi-activated state.

The invisible murderous intent shrouded the halo tightly, and once something was found wrong, it would be met with a series of bombardments.

"Don't be nervous."

The halo flickered, gradually solidified, and finally turned into a white-haired old man wearing a strange wizard robe.

The old man looked at them with a kind attitude:

"I am Moni, a three-ring wizard from White Fang Castle, responsible for monitoring the spatial transmission fluctuations of the Kalim Continent."

"It just so happens that you opened the star gate..."

He looked back at the star gate behind him, puzzled:

"This is very ancient technology. I seem to have seen this star gate somewhere before."

Three-ring wizard?

White Fang Castle?

Kalim Continent? The wizards present looked at each other in bewilderment. Facing the figure that suddenly appeared, they were cautious yet curious.

Did not choose to act rashly.

"Three-ring wizard?"

Marian spoke first: "Isn't this star gate only capable of teleporting in one direction?"

"Yes." Moni nodded, "What you see now is just my astral projection, so don't be afraid. I can't pose a threat to you."

Astral projection?

Three-ring witchcraft!

Is the other party really a three-ring wizard? The expressions of several official wizards on the scene changed, some were surprised, some were happy, and some were anxious.

“I remember now!”

Moni tapped his forehead:

"This star gate is exactly the same as the one in the Magic Forest. It seems that they are both relics left over from the past."

"Um...senior." Marian asked cautiously, "Are you from the wizarding world?"

"Do you call the continent of Kalim the wizarding world?" Moni looked up at the starry sky:

"Compared to this place, this name is not bad."

"The Eastern Kingdom continent has always been illuminated by the glory of the gods, and it is indeed not suitable for wizards to practice."

“Is the god here still the Father?”

Heavenly Father?

Everyone looked at each other.

"senior."

An elderly wizard spoke up, "A few hundred years ago, civil strife broke out in the Ferro Empire, and the authority of the Heavenly Father was divided among the gods. Now, it is an era of war among several gods. Currently, the Lord of Fire is planning to conquer various countries and take back the authority."

"Our god here is the Lord of the Dawn."

"Lord of the Dawn?" Moni stroked his beard. "It should be the authority of life and harvest, but it doesn't matter. You probably don't want to stay here."

"so……"

He asked curiously, "Who are these twenty people?"

"Senior." Marian frowned:

"What twenty people?"

"Your star gate can only transport twenty people at a time." Moni pointed at the star gate:

"Although this place is not suitable for wizards to practice, I believe that these twenty people must be extremely talented. It is strange to say that the more barren the resources, the more likely it is that wizard geniuses will appear."

"Would you consider joining us at White Fang Castle?"

He said enthusiastically, "White Fang Castle has five-ring wizards and several exotic spaces that are being explored. It will be very beneficial to your future development."

"Bullshit!" a cold voice rang out.

Another shadow jumped out of the star gate and turned into an old woman with a cane and a wrinkled face.

"The five-ring wizard of White Fang Castle hasn't appeared for hundreds of years. He might have died in some foreign land. Why not join our six-ring tower?"

"The founder of the Six-Ring Tower is a Six-Ring Wizard!"

"Hmph!" Moni snorted coldly, "Old woman, the six-ring wizard you mentioned has been dead for tens of thousands of years. Why do you keep mentioning him now? Don't you have anything else worth boasting about?"

"The existence of a six-ring wizard is as immortal as a god, and he will never die." The old woman had a blank expression on her face: "He will come back sooner or later!"

"Ha..." Moni said with disdain: "So you just wait, wait a few tens of thousands of years, maybe he will come back, but I'm afraid you can't wait that long!"

"Moni!" The old woman's eyes were cold: "Would you like to make an appointment so that we can compete in witchcraft?"

"snort!"

Moni's expression changed slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "Old woman, I don't have time to tangle with you. The White Fang Castle has the priority to choose the star gate that it discovered first."

The wizards of the Swamp Alliance had strange expressions on their faces.

Could it be that

How could they still be popular in the wizarding world? "Two seniors."

A short wizard in the crowd spoke up: "Can you first introduce us to the wizard...Kalim Continent?"

Everyone nodded.

"Of course, no problem." Moni must have a good temper and was very patient. He stroked his beard and asked, "Where should I start?"

After thinking for a while, he said slowly:

"The place you are in is what we call the Eastern Kingdom Continent, where the gods graze lives and harvest faith."

"The Karim continent is more chaotic, with various races living together, and few regions can be unified into a country."

"As for why this happened, it involves a war long, long ago. You don't need to understand it for now."

"That's right." The old woman nodded and continued, "In the continent of Kalim, there are four truly prestigious wizard organizations. In addition to our Six-Ring Tower and the White Fang Castle where he is, there are also the Secret Order and the Rose Academy. But since they haven't come yet, they naturally won't come."

Huh? Moni raised an eyebrow.

As if he had thought of something, he grinned at the old woman.

Okay!

It's always good to have two fewer competitors. After all, there are only twenty people, and four are definitely not as good as two.

The old woman seemed not to notice his gaze and continued:

"The four major wizard organizations have all produced five-ring and even six-ring wizards. There is also a knowledge church that has also cultivated five-ring wizards. However, this organization is very scattered. Any formal wizard can apply to join. Even dark wizards are not restricted. It is not recommended."

"In the continent of Kalim, people with wizard talents are divided into five levels, and each level is further divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower."

"Level 5 wizard talent is the most common. Level 4 wizard talent can try to join various organizations. Level 3 talent is relatively rare. Level 2 talent..."

"It is almost certain that he can become a formal wizard, so even the four major wizarding organizations will be vying for him."

Huh? Several official wizards of the Swamp Alliance had strange expressions on their faces.

Almost all of them have second-level wizard talent, but a large part of their becoming official wizards is due to chance.

Although there are not too many wizard apprentices with level three talent in the alliance, there are definitely quite a few.

There are even more level 4 talents!

"The Swamp Alliance has nineteen wizard apprentices with level two talent, and nearly a hundred with level three talent."

Marianne said hastily:

"Can you all take them?"

"This..." Moni smiled bitterly: "We would like to accept them all, but unfortunately, you can only send twenty people."

"Can't you send a few more batches?" someone asked.

“No.” The old woman shook her head. “This kind of star gate was created a long time ago. No one can repair it. The gods here know this very well, otherwise they would not have trusted you to hand it over.”

"ten years!"

She said:

“Only a group of people can be sent there every ten years.”

ten years?

Everyone frowned.

They knew that the transmission had to be done in batches, but they didn't know the quantity would be so small and the time would be so long.

So...

There are already several official wizards, which means that only a dozen others can go with them.

This number,

Too little!

Many people who should be on the list will be removed, including relatives of official wizards.

Moni and the old woman did not show much regret.

Twenty people is just right!

Even for the four major wizarding organizations, it is difficult to support hundreds of wizard apprentices and advanced wizards at the same time.

Ten for each organization is just right.

"There is another way."

The old woman said, "You can go to the Magic Forest first and enter the Kalim Continent from there, but the Magic Forest is also not under our jurisdiction."

Magic forest?

…………

Meeting room.

Several official wizards of the Swamp Alliance gathered together.

"We must definitely join a wizarding organization. If possible, it would be best if we join the same organization."

"There's no rush for this. It'll take some time before we can send people over." A wizard said, "Let's discuss the quota of twenty people first."

"I think the rules should be changed. After all, there are a few people in the assassination mission who have low wizard talent, but because of coincidence, they have many achievements, such as this one named Carl..."

"No!" Marianne's face changed and she shouted angrily:

"This rule was set when the instructor was here. We agreed at the time what should be done, and that's what should be done."

"Rules are dead, but people are alive." Someone frowned: "Some people are just not suitable."

"The four major wizard organizations have very strict requirements for their members. They don't want fourth-level wizard talents at all. Even if you join them, you have to figure out and practice on your own. It's a pure waste of places."

"Shut up!" Marianne slammed the table and said coldly:

"My mentor sacrificed his life to open the star gate and created an opportunity for you. Now that he has just died, you want to change the decision he made. I will never allow this!"

Everyone's expressions were stiff and they lowered their heads one after another.

At this moment, Marianne was like a powder keg that could be ignited at any time, and no one wanted to be exposed to this bad luck.

However, there are only so many places available, and it would be impossible not to put some thought into it.

If Adolf were still there, he could suppress the others, but the angry Marianne was far from being able to do that.

* * * Night.

The air was like flowing water, creating ripples.

Figures walked out one after another, moved around carefully, and gathered in a secluded area.

"You have the objectives of this mission in hand. The Special Operations Division has done divinations in advance and has drawn up a corresponding plan."

A middle-aged man with a gloomy face glanced at everyone and said in a muffled voice: "Remember!"

"What you are doing today is for the great Father God. You must complete the task at all costs."

"everything!"

"It will all return to flames!"

"Go!" The middle-aged man waved his hand. "You only have half a day to harvest the lives of the enemies and please the Father God. Once the time is up, you will be discovered by the Swamp Alliance."

"yes!"

A group of people nodded in agreement and dispersed quietly.

…………

Not long after.

Somewhere in Black Swamp.

Two arcs of flames passed through a man's throat and abdomen, cutting the target into three pieces, and the person who did it left quietly.

An island.

The people who were having a party seemed to have noticed something, looked down at their feet, and then their eyes widened.

"not good!"

"boom!"

The violent explosion directly shattered the house, and the bodies of several people in the house were killed on the spot by the huge force.

water area.

"Who are you?"

Modili held a staff in his hand, and thick fog immediately filled the area around him. He rushed into the fog and disappeared.

"Want to escape?"

In the darkness, a senior wizard apprentice stepped out, his fiery red eyes like a glass bead.

In his eyes, the figure of Modili fleeing was clearly reflected.

"snort!"

"Can you escape?"

There is a huge gap in strength between high-level wizard apprentices, and the strong ones can challenge legendary knights alone.

The Great Knight could kill any weakling ! With a disdainful snort, he stepped forward and turned into a ball of burning flame, rushing forward.

The same scenes were played out in various places in the Black Swamp.

“Karl!”

"No. 6 on the kill list, an intermediate wizard apprentice and a great knight. He once teamed up with others to kill the legendary knight Bob."

"After the incident, the investigation department inspected the scene and found dozens of soldiers were killed by the Devouring Life. It is suspected that they were hiding their strength. It is recommended that at least three teams jointly set up an ambush."

One person held the target introduction in his hand, read it once and shook his head speechlessly:

“That’s too much!”

"Dozens of armed soldiers, several wizard apprentices, and a legendary knight died at the scene. He definitely didn't do it alone. I think this guy named Carl was just lucky. All his companions died, but he was the one who got the fruits of victory. That's why he ranks sixth on the killer list."

"Whether it's true or not, killing him deserves a lot of credit." One of them said, "Besides, it's always better to be careful. Let's wait for the others to come over, and then act together."

…………

"no!"

Carl put away his breathing technique and shook his head helplessly.

After more than two months of intensive training, even temporarily putting aside witchcraft, his physique was finally improved to the perfection of a great knight.

Constitution: 5!

From then on, there was no further progress.

"Since you blessed me and allowed me to practice Giant Spirit Breathing, why don't you show up now?"

"Or..."

"Is the Moon Goddess so weak that she can't even grant blessings to advance?"

Without the blessing of gods, the abyss blood in my body is useless. It seems that I can only rely on myself.

This is the limit of human beings.

This limit can be broken with the help of blood witchcraft, but it means that you can no longer follow the path of knighthood.

The knight's road has come this far, and Carl has no intention of giving up if possible.

"Quincy is a very patient guy. He has been quiet for so long. I underestimated him."

"otherwise……"

"Find a few more people to spread the news?"

Standing up, Carl went to the island and stretched his body:

"There are too few great knights in Strom City, and even fewer who meet the requirements. Do we have to go to the Grand Duke's territory?"

"Ding-ling-ling..."

The crisp sound of a bell interrupted his movements, meaning someone was approaching the island.

"Mr. Karl!"

The wooden boat docked at the shore, and the knight in the Alliance uniform bowed and saluted: "The Alliance Council invites you to come over."

"good!"

Carl nodded.

The canoe was sailing in the swamp, and it was bumpy from time to time, especially when turning.

"Your skills aren't that great!" Carl laughed, "You didn't do this kind of thing often before?"

"Yes." The knight looked embarrassed. "I used to be a guard for wizard apprentices. I am not familiar with boat operation."

"No wonder." Karl was in a bad mood today because of his cultivation problems. He wanted to find someone to talk to relieve his boredom, so he asked, "What do you want me to do this time?"

"Not sure." The knight shook his head: "I heard it seems to be related to the Star Gate."

"oh!"

Carl's eyes lit up.

He had also heard about the opening of the star gate, but only official wizards could participate in such matters.

The specific situation is still unclear.

Buzz! Suddenly.

A chill emerged from the tailbone and rushed straight to the back of the head in an instant, causing Carl's consciousness to suddenly retract.

Danger!

The abyss bloodline senses danger and sends a warning.

"stop……"

He shouted urgently, and his body suddenly retreated violently, and the wooden boat under his feet shattered with a loud bang.

The knight who was steering the boat had a vicious look on his face and turned around and pounced on Carl.

Thick flames came out of his body, and with a simple pounce, his speed was incredibly fast.

Even Carl, the great knight, couldn't avoid it.

This is……

Divine magic!

A divine art that sacrifices one's life!

The knight held Carl in his arms, opened his mouth wide, and thick flames gushed out, carrying a strong smell of sulfuric acid.

Moreover, a violent force was rapidly accumulating.

"Get lost!"

Carl's eyes opened wide, and the power of a peak knight burst out.

Fighting skill - Bloom! The powerful repulsive force directly shattered the knight's arms, and Carl took the opportunity to roll backwards quickly.

"boom!"

Flames broke out.

The knight suddenly exploded and turned into a ball of blue flame. If he had reacted a little slower, he would have been engulfed by the flames.

Fire thief! Carl waded through the swamp, but the warning signs in his heart did not disappear. He waved his hand and cast a spell to protect the blue waves.

A ball of water appeared out of nowhere and wrapped him up.

at the same time.

Witchcraft trap - flame cage! Dozens of thick flames rushed out of the swamp and merged into a cage, enveloping him completely.

High temperatures of thousands of degrees can melt steel, and even the top knights are not immune to it.

Fortunately, the Bi Bo Guardian blocked it.

With a flash of his body, Carl appeared more than ten meters away.

His expression was somewhat gloomy, and as he glanced around, he already regretted not bringing his weapon.

but……

It should be fine.

“He found out!”

"superior!"

“…”

Low roars were heard from all around, several flames shot out like arrows, and a fire dragon roared and pounced towards them.

Seven people! One senior wizard apprentice, three mid-level wizard apprentices, and three knights of considerable strength.

In just a moment, Carl sensed the active atmosphere around him.

"People from the Kingdom of Cologne?"

His face was gloomy, and his body shook and became about six meters tall. He raised one foot and stomped heavily on the ground.

Super-grade seal - regret! As for the incoming attack, he chose to resist it.

With the blessing of several kinds of defensive witchcraft, as well as the protection of magic seals and super strong physique, he has no problem resisting ordinary witchcraft.

"Bang!"

The witchcraft flames fell on his body, and Carl leaned back, with obvious burns on his arms and chest.

at the same time.

"boom!"

The ground within a radius of dozens of meters shook, and ripples appeared in the swamp.

The shock wave swept along the ground in all directions, and several hidden figures were forced out immediately.

“Swish!”

Stone pillars rose from the ground and stabbed at the emerging figure.

moment.

Various witchcrafts appeared one after another.

firewall!

Flame shield!

Fire clone! ...

Several figures flashed back and forth among the stone pillars, resisting and looking at Carl, ready to activate witchcraft.

"careful!"

The only senior wizard apprentice in the field had a tense expression and growled with gritted teeth:

"The target's defense is very strong, comparable to that of a legendary knight, and he is also a high-level wizard apprentice!"

A top knight and a senior wizard apprentice.

This is completely different from what was written in the information. He really did hide his strength. Fortunately, the three groups worked together.

otherwise……

It will happen!

"snort!"

Carl snorted softly, and the muscles on his back squirmed. Ferocious tentacles more than ten meters long stretched out and danced flexibly in the air.

"What?"

"ah!"

"monster!"

“…”

There were continuous exclamations.

Aura of fear!

As Carl's strength increases, the power of the fear aura becomes stronger and stronger. Ordinary people may suffer a mental breakdown if they look at it for a few more seconds.

Even a wizard apprentice would have a moment of confusion.

And this,

That's enough!

Tentacles that were more than ten meters long shot out like lightning, wrapping up and devouring the wizard apprentices and knights on the field.

“Crack!”

In just a moment, three people died.

The senior wizard apprentice's face changed drastically. He stuck his staff into the ground to activate the talisman he carried with him.

Talisman - Wrath of Gmir! Gmir is the most famous volcano in Coron.

This witchcraft is also called the wrath of the volcano, which can cause lava to erupt from the ground and spread all around.

The power is terrifying.

The ground cracked and thick magma erupted from it, instantly submerging Carl's figure.

but……

"One-ring sorcery?"

The giant wrapped in magma rushed forward madly, and the injuries on his body were repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The power of the second-level abyss bloodline lies in the fact that as long as there is life to devour, any injury will be of no concern.

Carl rushed forward, smashed the opponent's defense with a few punches, and completed the kill.

"Not even a senior wizard apprentice can do this at such a close distance!"

"ah!"

"You monster, the Cologne Empire will not let you go, the king will definitely kill you to avenge us!"

"Karl, you are on our Cologne Empire's must-kill list. Even if you escape this time, you will be killed sooner or later."

"puff!"

“Puff!”

Carl's face was gloomy, his body trembled slightly, and his tentacles suddenly exerted force, devouring several people into bones.

Then he swept all the bones into the swamp.

Kill list?

Is this Cologne's revenge?

Please give me a monthly ticket!!! (End of this chapter)
