Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 455 - 014 Executioner
Before making a move, Carl had one more thing to do.
He went to the market to find the Artifact Refiner Lynn and inquire about the Inheritance Witchcraft that could supposedly release Holy Light.
"It’s not Holy Light, but a special Purification Spirit Light. It has a strong suppressive effect on dark evil spirits and undead creatures."
Lynn took out a Magic Wand embedded with a crystal at the top and smiled.
"The price is two thousand Magic Stones!"
"Two thousand?" Carl’s expression darkened. "Isn’t that too expensive?"
"This Magic Wand is not of high Tier, and the Purification Spirit Light isn’t of much use either. Even a thousand Magic Stones would be a high price."
A few hundred Magic Stones would be more like it.
"Yes," Lynn shrugged, not denying it.
"That’s why I haven’t been able to sell it. However, I thought I would find a suitable buyer—like you, my friend."
"I suppose you have a need for it, and the so-called price depends on whether you need it or not."
Carl was speechless.
This was like being butchered as a fat sheep.
"Alright then."
He took a deep breath and took out twenty Magic Crystals.
"Deal!"
"I knew this item would sell for a high price; it wasn’t in vain that I kept it for several years," Lynn grinned.
"Please take good care of it."
After the transaction was complete, Lynn watched Carl’s figure recede, then a sinister smile touched his lips. He pulled out a magic note and wrote a line of text.
’The man has come, and the item has been bought.’
In a flash.
A line of text appeared on the paper.
’Received, payment will be made afterward.’
* * *
SWOOSH!
The Magic Flying Carpet broke through the clouds, flying away from the Dream Market.
Carl sat cross-legged on it and looked down at his Wizard Robe, shaking his head helplessly.
Just how many people have meddled with me?
I don’t recall offending so many people, do I?
He considered his personality to be honest and unassuming, never one to provoke trouble.
Yet, after attending a wedding banquet, various hidden tricks had been played on him.
To prevent his pursuers from losing his trail and thus ruining Nina’s plans, he hadn’t removed whatever had been placed on him.
Before long.
"Here they come!"
His eyes flickered slightly. Carl stood up from the Magic Flying Carpet and, with a casual wave of his hand, changed into a different Wizard Robe.
He couldn’t be sure if the tampering on the Wizard Robe would affect his strength, so it was best to send it to the Divine Domain Fragment.
"Conni!"
Two streaks of witchcraft Spirit Light flew towards him with stunning speed, halting nearby to reveal human figures.
"You actually dare to return to the Dream Market?"
"You are..." Carl looked at one of them. "The executioner from the Pelo family?"
The newcomer was tall and burly, his face marked with several fierce scars, making his appearance quite distinctive.
"That’s right!"
The man nodded, a fierce smile spreading across his face. The scars on his face twisted as he spoke, becoming even more terrifying.
"I am Yifuli, the executioner they speak of! Conni, you’ll pay for what you’ve done!"
"Your people were the ones who troubled me first... Forget it." Carl shook his head, not intending to dwell on it.
"Just the two of you? I thought the Clan Leader of the Pelo family would come personally."
"To deal with you, there’s no need for the Clan Leader himself to act," Yifuli snorted coldly.
"I am enough!"
"Is that so?" Carl smiled faintly. "Could it be he doesn’t have time to come?"
In Nina’s plan, the Clan Leader of the Pelo family should be tied up by the other two major families and wouldn’t be able to arrive quickly.
As for Carl, he just needed to deal with Yifuli, the executioner, during this period. The rest would be left to her.
"Hmph!"
Yifuli snorted. "We’ve investigated thoroughly. Two years ago, you were just a First Circle Early Stage Wizard. Even if you’ve reached the First Circle Middle Stage by now, you probably haven’t even constructed your sixth One-Circle Witchcraft yet."
"Perhaps your talent on the Knight Path is high, but as long as we don’t get close, we’ll be fine."
He called to his companion, "Hunter! Attack!"
"Yes!"
Hunter nodded, waving his Magic Wand lightly. Chains formed of flowing water suddenly appeared in the air.
One-Circle Witchcraft—Water Cloud Chains!
The chains interlocked, like a fishing net, with Carl as the fish caught within.
The chains, made of seemingly soft flowing water, possessed an extremely terrifying binding force that made it difficult to move.
SWOOSH!
Yifuli waved his hands, and two sharp machetes flashed out, heading straight for Carl’s neck.
Object Control!
The witchcraft he cultivated wasn’t a family inheritance but involved controlling external objects, somewhat similar to the immortal cultivators from Carl’s memories.
The machetes were fierce and swift, their blades gleaming with a cold light that made Carl’s skin instinctively tighten.
"Hmph!"
With a light snort, a mass of water appeared out of thin air.
One-Circle Witchcraft—Tide Force.
BANG!
When the large machetes struck the water, they suddenly dispersed into thousands of tiny, cold glints of light, swarming towards Carl like fish.
Not only did the Tide Force fail to affect them, it actually caused their speed to increase sharply.
What the hell?
Nina’s intel didn’t mention he had such a move!
Carl’s eyes twitched. His hands formed mystical seals as Battle Aura surged within him, causing the phantom of a Buddha figure to appear behind him.
Void Seal!
The Ten Hands Realm’s Thousand Buddha Hands allowed him to amplify the force he could unleash.
The raging Battle Aura swept around him, seeming to collapse the very void and distorting both the chains and the cold glints of light.
At the same time.
CRACKLE!
Sparks flashed around Carl’s body. As if using Instant Teleportation, he appeared more than ten meters away, charging straight at Yifuli.
One-Circle Witchcraft—Thunder Wings!
"Heh..."
Facing the incoming Carl, Yifuli sneered coldly. He flicked his hand, throwing a Seal, while simultaneously recalling his Witch Artifact.
First Order Middle Stage Seal—Repulsion Technique!
An invisible force enveloped Yifuli, like a giant inflated ball, encasing him within.
As Carl charged forward, the repulsive force sent Yifuli flying backward.
The faster Carl charged, the faster Yifuli retreated, and the distance between them never closed.
Instead, the returning Witch Artifact slashed viciously towards Carl’s back.
BANG!
Thousand Buddha Hands—Vajra Seal!
The sharp Witch Artifact struck as if hitting hard diamond, producing a clang as it was repelled, and Carl’s figure wavered.
"So hard!"
Yifuli’s expression changed slightly.
"No wonder he could kill a One-Circle Late Stage Wizard. If he got close enough, I fear even I wouldn’t be able to escape."
"However..."
"A Knight is a Knight; their methods are far inferior to a Wizard’s!"
He drew out his Magic Wand, repeatedly pointing it at Carl, successively activating witchcraft spells with weakening properties.
On the other side.
Hunter, his companion, used Water Avatar. He hid his real body among a dozen copies to evade Carl’s attacks, occasionally striking back.
For a moment, the situation seemed to reach a stalemate. Carl couldn’t get close to them, rendering his martial arts useless. Meanwhile, their witchcraft also struggled to harm him.
SWOOSH!
Lightning flashed, and a figure shot straight towards the dense forest below.
"Chase!"
Yifuli ordered without hesitation.
"We must kill him today."
"Don’t worry, I’ve already sent a message to the Family Head. As long as we keep an eye on him, he’s dead once the Family Head arrives!"
The three of them—one fleeing and two pursuing—gradually distanced themselves from the Dream Market, stopping above a wide river channel.
"Conni!"
Seeing this, Yifuli laughed loudly.
"You can’t escape!"
"Heh..." Carl shook his head.
"Ignorant."
CRACKLE!
A flash of lightning appeared on his body, and simultaneously, a pair of wings formed from thunder unfurled behind him.
Thunder Wings!
At the same time.
One-Circle Witchcraft—Water Elf!
Zero-Circle Magic—Vitality Water!
BOOM!
Carl’s eyes flew open. The Battle Aura he had suppressed for so long erupted unrestrainedly, and the surrounding sky seemed to darken.
That terrifying pressure also caused a drastic change in the faces of the two pursuers.
This is bad!
CRACKLE!
In a flash of lightning, Carl had traversed dozens of meters, appearing not far from Hunter.
Thousand Buddha Hands—Demon-suppressing Seal!
BOOM!
A massive handprint descended from the sky, covering over ten square meters. Everything within visibly crumbled at a rapid pace.
Avatars! Defensive Magic! Tempered flesh! Before such an attack, they were like bubbles, popping at a touch—utterly fragile.
CRACKLE!
Carl’s figure flashed again, moving like a streak of light to close in on Yifuli. His palm technique seemed to pull Yifuli towards him.
"Ah!"
Yifuli roared to the sky as various Spirit Lights surged.
But alas, it was futile!
BANG!
The palm print, imbued with enormous force, struck his body, and this standout of the First Circle Middle Stage was instantly blasted into pulp.
"Huff..."
Carl exhaled a long, turbid breath, eyeing the dense network of cracks on his own body and gently shaking his head.
Wizards may lack strong defensive power, but their offensive methods and lethality are astonishing. Even a Bronze Body at Perfection almost couldn’t withstand it.
Going all out, I estimate I’d need to be within thirty meters to have a chance of killing a One-Circle Late Stage Wizard.
His thoughts whirred, but his hands moved quickly, collecting the remaining corpses from the field into his Divine Domain Fragment.
Then he stood suspended in midair, quietly waiting.
"Conni!"
Before long,
Nina, accompanied by several figures, appeared on the scene, her face filled with surprise as she looked around.
"Yifuli..."
"Dead?"
"Yes." Carl nodded expressionlessly. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"I’ve completed what I promised you. The rest is up to all of you. I’ll take my leave now."
With that, he nodded to the others and flashed toward the distance, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
"Con..."
Nina reached out, wishing to say something, but it was too late; she could only watch as Carl grew distant.
"Two auras have vanished, and one of them indeed belonged to Yifuli," one person on the scene said.
"This Conni..."
"Is very strong!"
"Indeed." Nina’s expression was complex.
"I originally expected him to lure them here so we could deal with them together. I didn’t expect he could handle it all by himself."
"And so quickly at that!"
Yifuli the executioner was no weakling; he could even be considered quite strong. Some Wizards who had just advanced to the One-Circle Late Stage might not have been his match.
Yet, even with another Wizard assisting him, Yifuli was slain by Carl in just a brief moment.
This was far beyond her expectations.
"So what?" The handsome man, Cromwell, scoffed coldly, his expression somewhat resentful.
"If he had stayed, we would have had a better chance of killing Von. But he chose to flee."
"Nina!"
"He clearly doesn’t care about you at all!"
"Forget it." Nina’s expression was also grim. She shook her head with a bitter smile.
"After all, my agreement with him was just that."
"Get ready!"
"Von has already left the Dream Market and is on his way here. Senior Haggai, we’ll be relying on you."
"I will act," the white-haired elder among them said, nodding.
"After this, the friendship between myself and the Walker family will be over. However, don’t have overly high expectations. At most, I can hold Von off for a period; killing him will not be easy."
"Understood." Nina nodded earnestly.
"The Walker family is already deeply grateful that you are willing to intervene, Senior."
"Cromwell..."
"Later, you and I will join forces!"
"Understood."
Cromwell nodded in agreement.
