The Bizarre Wizarding World-Chapter 730 - 446 Temporary Escape

Neustadt City.

At this moment, it had just passed dawn, and a faint chill mist from the break of day still hung in the air.

Glittering ice flowers were drifting down.

"It’s snowing," a passerby muttered, glancing upward.

"It seems to be the first snow of the year."

Outside the Transmission General Bureau, Colin exhaled softly, watching his breath turn into white mist in the air.

The cold wind blew right at him, tiny snowflakes landing on his cheeks, bringing a moment of chill before melting into droplets.

Winter had come again, when it had just felt like spring in Pansai City... Colin felt somewhat emotional.

In his past life, he would have experienced a similar feeling after disembarking from a long flight, albeit after several hours in the air.

But now in the Wizard World, it was just the blink of an eye, and the surrounding environment had transitioned from the vibrant spring to the early winter with snowflakes fluttering... Witchcraft, like science, was boundlessly powerful and enchanting.

Colin smiled and briskly walked towards the outskirts of the city.

He was eager to return to the Tilaimei Plain to delve into the knowledge he had gained from the Miracle Meeting.

He had already skimmed through all the knowledge the previous night and made some headway, but deeper research would require more time.

The snow kept falling, but Colin had already deployed his Protective Shield.

With the first snow already here, the new year was evidently not far off.

This new year, he reckoned, was likely to be livelier than usual... Thinking of the friends waiting for him at the Golden Barley, a smile emerged on Colin’s face.

Whoosh!

Stepping beyond the city limits, he took out his Silver Stream Witchcraft and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a silver flash, darting toward Tilaimei.

Snowflakes filled the air, coming straight at him, reminiscent of the carefree fluff dancing in the skies of spring. Though spring and winter were distinct seasons, they shared particular similarities.

However, this sensation only lasted a few minutes before snowflakes were no longer visible in the sky, and the temperature, still cold, was nevertheless higher than in Neustadt.

As Colin continued onward, the temperature steadily rose. By the time he was approaching the Golden Barley, the temperature around him had increased by about six or seven degrees compared to Neustadt.

It seems that the Golden Barley would still be some time before it saw snow.

Swoosh!

Just as he was thinking this, a wizard in a plain white robe suddenly shot up from below.

Judging by their speed, they appeared to be only an Advanced Apprentice and should not have been able to detect the Silver Stream... But if he continued on his current flight path, he would collide head-on with them...

"A coincidence?"

He had just entered the territory of the Roon Kingdom and was a short distance away from any city-state; this place was usually scarce of people... This wizard was indeed suspicious.

Colin furrowed his brow, subconsciously urging the Silver Stream to increase speed, while enhancing his own Force Field Defense and casting World Perception on the ascending wizard.

Hum—

Suddenly, the entire scene altered; the sky, the trees... they all took on a myriad of halos. Colin inspected closely, noticing that there were no halos around the wizard.

"No halo... He must be a wizard unaware of his own existence."

Colin relaxed slightly at first but then instantly, his expression drastically changed.

"No, that’s not right! This is Tilaimei Plain; how could there possibly be a wizard who has never heard of me?!"

Hum—!

At that moment, a terrifying surge of energy suddenly erupted from the white-robed wizard!

Colin’s face went pale; his heart felt as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand.

This surge... It belonged to a Fourth Rank Wizard!

It was also at this time that his World Perception belatedly sent a warning of danger—the white-robed wizard was suddenly enveloped in a circle of inky black halo!

He had never seen such depth of malice before!

The sudden failure of World Perception caused an even deeper sense of dread in Colin.

Only the power of the Divine could influence World Perception.

It was clear, therefore, that the newcomer was a Divine Believer! fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Whoosh!!

Colin manipulated the Silver Stream, desperately trying to dodge, but after the white-robed wizard’s terrifying surge of energy, his speed had explosively increased. Colin was a step too slow and had to momentarily stop, blocked by the wizard in front of him.

"Colin Leonard..."

An unfamiliar voice came through.

The face of the white-robed wizard was also unfamiliar and rapidly changing—from a young man to a middle-aged wizard with a sinister gaze!

"Who are you?" Colin asked casually, buying time, searching for a means of escape.

"Who am I?"

Calvin chuckled, seemingly unconcerned with the slight delay.

As a Fourth Rank Wizard, he had an absolute advantage when facing Colin, who had just recently advanced to the Third Rank.

He looked at the golden-haired wizard wrapped in the silver current before him, his gaze piercing through the silver flow to rest on Colin’s calm face, and continued nonchalantly:

"Sir, it seems you’ve forgotten. You stepped over the corpses of countless members of our Family to become a Councilman with the Second Rank and then became the Lord of Tilaimei and advanced to a Third Rank Wizard. Now, you even have the leisure to attend the Miracle Meeting!

You’ve been doing well for yourself these past days, haven’t you?"

As Calvin spoke, his tone grew colder and colder, like a cold-blooded snake slithering on skin, uncomfortable to the listener.

The hatred in his eyes deepened.

"The thought that all my Family members have perished while you rose to the heavens, even leisurely attending the Miracle Meeting..."

Swoosh!

But before Calvin could fully express the vengeful anger that had built up within him, several oddly-shaped Fire Element creatures suddenly appeared in mid-air and swiftly lunged at him!
