Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 403 - 240: Itinerant Wizard

The gray-robed figure was puzzled.

Previously in the tavern, he had cast a spell just once, and it was immediately detected and targeted by the Star Alliance.

Could it be that the Star Alliance happened to have some means to detect large-scale energy particle fluctuations in Sunset City?

The gray-robed figure’s thoughts raced as he pondered how to escape the current predicament.

However, the two girls opposite him didn’t give him a chance. Seeing his silence and lack of response, they acted without hesitation.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Countless glaring silver lights instantly swept out like a tidal wave, attacking him!

The piercing whistling sounds broke the silence of the midnight forest in an instant.

The gray-robed figure’s form flickered and vanished on the spot, reappearing a hundred meters away.

However, those silver lights also turned around and chased after him relentlessly.

The gray-robed figure raised his hand, quickly drawing an illusion rune in the void, then pushed it forward, and the rune shot out instantly, colliding with the oncoming silver lights and exploding violently. The fierce shockwave and flames instantly shredded the silver lights to pieces!

But before he could catch his breath, two longswords had already stabbed at him from both sides!

The two girls had managed to appear beside him in a flash!

"Teleportation spell!"

The gray-robed figure was shocked.

These two girls had actually used the same Tier Three teleportation spell as him. Could it be that they were also wizards?

This suspicion was quickly confirmed in the ensuing battle.

Seeing the two girls continuously cast one Tier Three spell after another, the gray-robed figure was greatly astonished.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the girls’ talent ability, those silver lights, seemed somewhat weak.

But regardless, the two girls indeed possessed wizard-level strength.

Seeing this, the gray-robed figure dared not hold back any longer and unhesitatingly used his talent ability.

In an instant, countless dark threads emanated from his body, rapidly spreading through the surrounding void.

In the blink of an eye, the trees within a radius of four to five hundred meters were like clear water infused with thick black ink, quickly dyeing black.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were engulfed in pitch darkness.

The blackness was deeper than night, and nothing could be seen, not even a hand in front of the face.

The two girls were plunged into endless darkness in an instant.

Their dark vision couldn’t penetrate the strange darkness, so they could only spread their spiritual power, trying to locate the gray-robed figure.

But the surrounding darkness seemed to even hinder their spiritual power, which could only extend five to six meters around them before being unable to spread further.

The two girls decisively soared into the sky, trying to escape the darkness’s range.

But in the next second, the surrounding darkness suddenly surged.

It was as if countless beasts hidden in the darkness pounced silently from all directions!

In mere moments, the two girls suffered hundreds of attacks, their protective rings’ invisible defense fields nearly breached instantly.

Fortunately, they quickly enveloped themselves in the demon pattern core, blocking subsequent attacks.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the girls being unable to free themselves, the gray-robed figure quietly retreated.

The wizard influence known as the Star Alliance was clearly not to be trifled with. He didn’t intend to completely offend them, so he only stalled the two girls to buy himself time to escape.

However, after just casting the floating skill and flying over two hundred meters, he suddenly stopped, a look of uncertainty and doubt appearing on his masked face.

One by one, girls walked out from the woods in the night, surrounding him.

What was shocking was that each of these girls looked exactly like the two girls from earlier, with identical features, height, and build down to the tiniest detail.

Even the sense of danger they radiated was identical!

The gray-robed figure stood frozen in place, unable to move.

At this point, even if he was slow to understand, he realized the truth.

These girls, including the two he had fought earlier, weren’t human at all but constructs.

Wizard-level constructs!

Realizing this, he instantly lost the will to resist.

A wizard influence capable of creating so many wizard-level constructs was definitely beyond what a wandering wizard like him could contend with.

Moreover, with the strange means to detect energy particle fluctuations, as long as he stayed on this plane, he probably couldn’t escape.

Since that was the case, he might as well surrender.

Judging by their behavior, the wizard influence didn’t seem malicious. Surrendering might just preserve his life.

"I surrender."

The gray-robed figure sighed and said loudly, feeling helpless and puzzled.

He wondered when such a wizard influence emerged in the multidimensional universe?

Why had he never heard of it before?

...

Starlight Wizard Tower, top floor control center.

Sunan sat cross-legged by the elemental pool, eyes closed, holding an elemental crystal core, focused on absorbing the divine power.

Through years of cultivation, his spiritual refinement level was on the brink of a breakthrough.

As more than ten standard units of divine power gradually fused and assimilated, he finally crossed that threshold.

In the depths of his sea of consciousness, the gaseous spiritual power slowly flowing around the talent crystal suddenly paused, then condensed into droplets as if cooled, raining down like a shower.

Before long, the mist disappeared completely, replaced by a stream encircling the talent crystal like a milky way.
