Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 631 - 48: Madman

Witch Cherry and Hunter Leo went to hunt down Akasha, while the others looked at each other in dismay, immediately sensing the anomaly in the Titan Core.

"Damn it!"

Second Ring Wizard Ron, a short-statured gnome, said with a gloomy expression:

"The dean activated the Titan Core, probably intending to fight to the death, most likely unable to escape this calamity."

"That’s right." A female wizard nodded:

"If Witch Cherry takes over here, given her style..."

"Even if we don’t die, we’ll become slaves of the Abyss Cottage, and signing a contract for hundreds of years would be a mercy."

"The key is..." One person said bitterly:

"Once the Titan Core is activated, only the dean can shut it down; we can’t leave even if we want to."

"What do we do now?"

They were all Second Ring Wizards, capable of dominating a region outside, but now they were at the mercy of others.

Wait for death?

They were, of course, unwilling.

"Everyone."

Ron spoke in a muffled voice:

"How about we release that madman?"

"What?"

Their faces changed dramatically, then they seemed to be in thought. The only female wizard nodded and said:

"Right!"

"That madman is also a Fourth Ring. For the sake of being fellow academy wizards, at least he could show us some leniency afterward."

"Yes." Ron agreed:

"Back then, when the dean trapped that madman, we didn’t participate. Releasing him now might even be a merit."

"Then what’s there to consider?" one person shouted:

"Let’s go!"

The group rushed towards the interior of the base. After unlocking a series of complex witchcraft traps, they arrived at a pitch-black cave.

Ron’s throat moved as he carefully peeked inside the cave, gritted his teeth, and threw something inside.

"Clang clang..."

With a strange sound of chains shaking, a deafening roar came from inside the cave:

"Akasha, are you here to humiliate me again?"

"Senior!"

Ron hurriedly said:

"I am Ron from the academy, do you remember? I even brought you food when I was young."

"Ron?" The voice weakened, filled with doubt:

"Is there really such a person?"

"Senior!" Ron knew the person had a mental problem; otherwise, Akasha wouldn’t have trapped him. It was normal he didn’t remember, so Ron said:

"The academy is in chaos now. Outsiders have intruded, and we can’t resist, so we need your help."

"Nonsense!"

The voice inside the cave turned extremely furious:

"My enmity with Viper Academy could fill the ocean; it would be best if you all met your end."

"Hmm..."

"That despicable Akasha? Although I despise him, no one here should be a match for him."

"Senior." Ron bowed:

"You may not know, but the dean... Akasha was too stingy, never giving up control of the Titan Core. We’ve served him for hundreds of years without any benefits, and others targeted this weakness, setting a trap. He’s likely already dead."

"If he’s dead, that’s no big deal, but it’s dragging us down with him!"

"What?" The voice inside the cave shook, then sounded hesitant:

"Akasha is dead?"

"Even if he’s not, he’s probably close." Ron said:

"Akasha is poisoned and being pursued by Witch Cherry and Hunter Leo; the chances of survival are slim."

"Haha..." The person inside the cave laughed heartily, the laughter unbridled:

"Good!"

"That’s very good!"

"Yes, it’s very good." Ron hurriedly said:

"Though we’re all from Viper Academy, we too hope for his death. It would be best if someone wise and powerful like you could lead us."

"Hmph!"

The person inside the cave snorted coldly upon hearing this:

"You’re Ron, right? You talk quite interestingly."

"Thank you for your praise, senior." Ron wiped the sweat from his forehead. His straightforward remarks could easily be seen through by anyone with a mind, but the person inside the cave seemed to enjoy it, indicating his strategy was correct.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

The voice sounded again:

"Release me!"

"Witch Cherry... it’s been hundreds of years since I’ve seen her."

"Transforming Gold!"

"Expanding Metal!"

"..."

Looking at the contents of the open nine-story high tower, Jack the Gear trembled with excitement, his eyes shining brightly.

"All are priceless treasures sought after outside!"

"Caw...caw..."

The White Crow flapped its wings and screeched:

"Of course!"

"The Titan Core is a Sixth Tier Artifact refined from a fallen world and was once the base of the Beastman Tribe. When Akasha and the others discovered this place, the treasures within the Titan Core were still untouched."

"By relying on what was mined, Akasha was able to single-handedly establish the Viper Academy, but he kept all the truly valuable items for himself, never letting them be seen."

"Why?" After the excitement, anger appeared in Jack the Gear’s eyes:

"With so many treasures, it’s not hard to cultivate a few Third Ring Wizards, not to mention Fourth Ring Wizards."

"Why didn’t the Principal bring them out?"

The witchcraft he practiced required all sorts of witchcraft materials and rare metals. He had previously applied to the Academy for them but had never received a response.

Originally, he thought the Academy didn’t have what he wanted. Now it seems it was purely Akasha’s unwillingness to give.

If he had been given the materials...

Jack might have long become a Third Ring Wizard!

"This..." The White Crow’s body froze, and it replied awkwardly:

"Akasha said: wealth should not be exposed, or it will attract the coveting of others. Of course, he also personally loves collecting things. There’s always been a rumor outside that he has the bloodline of a dragon, which is true."

Lynn shook his head with some speechlessness.

He didn’t know much about the Academy Principal but had heard that he was quite miserly. He didn’t expect him to be miserly to such an extent.

"People are dead; what use are more treasures?"

"You’re right!"

Jack the Gear gritted his teeth and growled:

"I’ve worked hard for the Academy for so many years, accumulated so many points, and these things should have been mine."

"Go!"

He raised one hand, and countless large and small gears quickly assembled into a huge millstone, which fell upon an altar.

"Boom!"

The Barrier on the altar shattered with a roar, and the strange metal emitting a chill inside was also taken by Jack into his hand.

Hmm...

Lynn pursed his lips, his body gently shook, transforming into a Fire Dragon form, and pounced toward the Wizard Tower ahead.

In his Fire Dragon form, he could be large or small. At this moment, he transformed into a length of dozens of meters, wrapping the Wizard Tower completely.

Simultaneously, he breathed fiery flames, spraying toward the tower’s body.

"Crack!"

With the sound of shattering, the Prohibition on the Wizard Tower shattered on the spot, and the treasures inside came into view.

There were more than a dozen desks on one floor.

Each desk held an item, each shrouded by a Prohibition.

All were treasures.

Such as:

Twelve Third Tier Wisdom Fruits.

These could make a foolish person smart, enlighten a beast without wisdom, or be refined into High Tier Magic Potions that increase spiritual power and aid in enlightenment, each one invaluable.

A few witchcraft books, all from Fourth Ring up to Fifth Ring Wizards, including several inheritances circulated within the Academy.

A Third Tier Inheritance Witch Artifact Gravity Ball, capable of controlling gravity to compress a city into soil—a terrifying weapon.

...

"One item each person."

Jack the Gear spoke:

"You can choose first, if you can’t open the Prohibition, let someone else try."

"Hmm..." Lynn wasn’t in a hurry but looked at the Three-eyed White Crow:

"The Prohibitions here are stronger than outside. The good things on the upper levels are moreover protected by powerful Barriers. Without the White Crow senior’s assistance, we probably can only take away some scraps."

"Caw! Caw!" The White Crow flapped its wings:

"Are you trying to drag me into this?"

"No." Lynn shook his head:

"Bringing us here, you must have guessed what might happen. Would the Principal let you off?"

"Akasha is doomed this time; even if not, we can seek refuge with the Loo Family," Jack said:

"White Crow, you and I have reached the Second Tier Peak. Don’t you want to advance further?"

"There’s something useful for you up there!"

The White Crow hesitated, its three eyes swiveling back and forth. After a moment of contemplation, it said:

"I indeed know something about the Barriers and Prohibitions here, but I want to choose first when it comes to picking something."

"Also..."

"Leave the Essence Blood of flying beasts to me!"

"Magic Fire is my priority," Lynn raised his hand:

"I have use for it."

"The precious metals are mine."

Jack the Gear did not back down. The three divided things clearly and immediately began to move.
