A Wizard’s Secret

Chapter 157: Darkness Eye!

Both bodies on the ground had a bloody hole through their head the size of a finger. Their faces revealed a hint of shock and unwillingness.

“That is Sodam. He betrayed Ice City three years ago and went to Ozmu.”

“That’s right, it’s Sodam. Also, he appeared one year ago. He was fighting another Sixth-level Spell Caster then and even had the upper hand in the battle. It’s truly terrifying. Sodam is only a Fourth-level Spell Caster!”

Some Spell Casters recognized the Fourth-level Spell Caster on the ground. It was Wizard Sodam, the genius Spell Caster in Ice City back then. He had also betrayed Ice City and went to Ozmu.

The most shocking fact of these Spell Casters was that Sodam was strong and could withstand an ordinary Sixth-level Spell Caster but he did not even survive Wizard Leo’s first attack. This meant that Wizard Leo’s Darkness Eye was truly strong!

Wizard Gryzllo of the Abyss Fort looked at Ramas’ body on the ground with a complicated, dark look.

Wizard Heusius suddenly said, “Wizard Gryzllo, Wizard Leo has killed the genius in the Abyss Fort…”

Before Wizard Heusius even finished his words, Gryzllo had already interrupted Wizard Heusius as he understood what Wizard Heusius was saying.

Thus, he let out a cold snigger. “Ever since Ramas betrayed the Abyss Fort, he’s no longer one of us.”

After saying that, Gryzllo shot a serious glance at Wizard Leo and said, “Darkness Eye – nothing less expected of the legendary Pandora Demon Ability. When it’s executed with Wizard Leo’s ability, it comes close to the strength of a Seventh-level Spell Caster!”

Although Wizard Gryzllo did not rush into the castle earlier, his Mind Power had witnessed Wizard Leo’s actions where Darkness Eye had easily eliminated two strong genius Spell Casters – even he was shocked by this scene.

The power of Darkness Eye seemed to be even stronger than the description contained in some ancient texts!

“Just two? That’s not right. From the information I’ve received, there should be another strong Spell Caster of Ozmu!”

Wizard Gryzllo furrowed his eyebrow tightly.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a sea of flame fell upon them, enveloping the entire room. In addition, this flame was extraordinary – it was white flames rather than bright red ones. Instead of emitting heat, it gave off a cool sensation.

Cold flame? Even if the Spell Casters present were of Sixth-level and above, all of them thought that it was odd.

However, only the two Seventh-level Spell Casters changed their expressions at the same time. They howled, “Leave quickly. This is Zero Degree Ice Flame! Damn it. It must be Osseus. Why is this psycho here?”

The two Seventh-level Spell Casters exchanged a look. They could see the shock in each other’s eyes. Rich Earth Element immediately appeared on the surface of their skin as they cast their Defensive spells respectively.

Zero Degree Ice Flame was a Seventh-level spell. Any Seventh-level spell had to be constructed and created by the Spell Caster himself. Meanwhile, Zero Degree Ice Flame was an extremely strong spell created by Osseus, a Spell Caster of Ozmu, which rose to fame with this intriguing spell.

He was able to incorporate some traits of Ice-type spell into a Fire-type spell and, at the same time, maintain the terrifying power of the spells. Only the unfathomable genius Spell Casters in Ozmu could construct such a spell.

When a spell had reached the Seventh-level, it depended on the Spell Caster’s understanding about spells. The deeper the Spell Caster’s understanding, the stronger the spell he could construct.

Moreover, one could do almost anything to a Seventh-level spell including converting the traits of an Ice-type spell for a Fire-type spell. Take Zero Degree Ice Flame as an example, it was a Fire-type spell but it possessed the traits of an Ice-type spell. As for its strength, it was even more terrifying!

The Spell Casters who entered the castle were all Sixth-level Spell Casters. Although they were extremely cautious of their surroundings, these icy flames fell upon them suddenly. Thus, there were still two Spell Casters who did not manage to cast their Defensive spell.

In the end, they were immediately frozen into ice crystals. Moreover, the crystals were burning in a white flame, making the others’ skin crawl.

Both wore Defensive robes but the robes could not withstand Zero Degree Ice Flame. Hence, two strong Sixth-level Spell Casters were directly burnt to ashes.

“Damn it. Quick, leave the castle!”

A hint of madness jumped across Wizard Gryzllo’s face. A cold killing intent washed over him as the two dead Spell Casters were from the Abyss Fort.

In an instant, he had lost two Sixth-level Spell Casters – this was a great loss to the entire Abyss Fort!

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Except for Wizard Leo, Wizard Heusius, and Wizard Gryzllo, other Sixth-level Spell Casters had left the castle. All were aware of their surroundings and were on an alert.

“Osseus, reveal yourself. You can’t run away today!”

Wizard Gryzllo shouted toward the castle. His Mind Power even searched the entire castle frantically but to no avail.

“Run away? It’s been a long time since someone could make me run…”

Suddenly, a distant sigh reached them. From the darkness outside the room, a white-robed handsome man walked in slowly. He seemed to be in his twenties, but there was not a single hint of innocence in his eyes. In fact, his eyes were filled with endless depth.

The white-robed man did not look at the dark-looking Wizard Gryzllo. Instead, he set his gaze upon Wizard Leo. A playful smirk appeared on his face as he said softly, “Wizard Leo, we’ve met again!”

Wizard Leo’s expression changed, which was a first for him. With a slightly twisted face, he replied coldly, “Osseus, so it’s really you!”

“That’s right. It’s me. Back then, your brother, Raydore, wanted to join Ozmu. Didn’t I give you a chance? You killed your brother yourself… But I’m regretting it a little now. Your brother’s talent is indeed surprising at that time but it seems to me now that you’re the true prodigy. You’ve actually developed the legendary Darkness Eye and cultivated it to such a high level.”

Osseus flashed a smile but Wizard Leo’s aura had become more violent. His entire being could barely suppress the agitation of the Elements.

Wizard Heusius who was beside him changed his expression. He muttered in his heart, ‘This is bad. Raydore is forever the forbidden topic in Wizard Leo’s heart. This time, they met Osseus who invited Raydore to join Ozmu. I’m afraid that Wizard Leo can’t hold it in.’

Wizard Heusius knew about that matter. At that time, Raydore was coaxed by Ozmu and Wizard Leo went to stop him. In the end, he killed Raydore with his own hands. This was Wizard Leo’s reverse scale – no one could touch it.

“Boom!”

As expected, Wizard Leo acted without a moment of hesitation. He immediately cast Searing Blaze, a ferocious Sixth-level spell. In an instant, a furious flame was ignited in the room.

The terrifying force of this flame had melted the sturdy castle walls. It could be seen clearly that the castle was crumbling rapidly.

“Go!”

Wizard Heusius and Wizard Gryzllo did not hesitate and left the castle directly.

“It’s not enough. The sixth-level spell is just too weak. Cast your Darkness Eye. I also want to know how strong the legendary Darkness Eye truly is.”

Osseus raised his hand and a chilly air instantly put off a large area of flames.

“Rumble!”

The castle crumbled in an instant. The destructive power of a Sixth-level spell was terrifying. Fortunately, this was a deserted area. No one knew how long this castle had been deserted. Otherwise, no one could be sure how many would get hurt by their spells.

A fourth-level Spell Caster had the ability to destroy a strong military fortress alone, not to mention a Sixth-level Spell Caster. Moreover, Osseus was a terrifying Seventh-level Spell Caster!

Although the castle had crumbled, Wizard Leo and Osseus both flew in the air. Fluctuations of Wind Element glimmered on their bodies as they faced each other in the air.

Wizard Heusius and Wizard Gryzllo were staring at both Wizard Leo and Wizard Osseus who were in mid-air. Wizard Heusius suddenly said in a heavy tone, “Wizard Gryzllo, Wizard Leo is just a Sixth-level Spell Caster. Even if he has developed Darkness Eye, I’m afraid he still can’t stand against Osseus.”

Wizard Gryzllo nodded. “Don’t worry, old man. Even though you and I have fought in the past, but that’s not a huge matter. We must stand together while we face Ozmu. I’m sure you’ve heard of Osseus. He once killed a Seventh-level Spell Caster! Hehe. If we don’t act together, we’ll only be defeated by him one after another.”

“Good. Let’s do it!”

Two Seventh-level Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region and the Abyss Fort obviously dreaded the fight with Osseus, so they would not hold back and both cast their spells quickly.

“The extreme of ice! This is the brand-new spell I’ve constructed after spending eighteen years – Glacial Boundary!”

Heusius reached out his wizened hand and pointed at the faraway Osseus. At once, a layer of white crystals enveloped Osseus like an ice ring.

In addition, the place which was covered by the white rings began to freeze. This was not any ordinary cold. Instead, this was a horrifying spell that could even freeze the mountains, streams, and rivers.

“Ka-chak! Ka-chak!”

Layers of ice crystals approached Osseus rapidly.

“Ice-type spell? Heusius, you really didn’t improve after so many years. Even if you became a Seventh-level Spell Caster, you’re still so ordinary. You call this the extreme of ice?”

Osseus’ face was filled with mock. Thereafter, a white flame instantaneously flew out from his fingertips; it was Zero Degree Ice Flame from before.

“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”

Osseus’ Zero Degree Ice Flame had completely suppressed Wizard Heusius’ spell. Layers of ice crystals were melted by the white flame in an instant.

At the same time, Gryzllo cast his spell as well.

“Darkness, the cover of endless sins! This is the brand-new spell that I’ve constructed after spending nine years – Hand of Sins!”

Immediately, a gigantic palm made of Darkness Element appeared in the sky and chased after Osseus.

The Hand of Sins had the obvious trait of Darkness Element – illusion. Not only Hand of Sins had an illusion effect but it could also pull the negative emotions from the target’s heart.

This was the forte of Hand of Sins!

“Oh? This is quite interesting. It’s commendable that it can pull out the negative emotions in me, but its strength is too weak that it’s not even worth a mention!”

A smile still remained on Osseus’ face whilst he faced the gigantic palm. A dense Earth Element appeared and covered his entire body.

These Earth Elements did not look hard and sturdy. Instead, it kept flowing like water. This spell had probably taken some Water-type spells as a reference, so it allowed the Earth-type spell to be flexible.

“Bang!”

Hand of Sins struck Osseus but it had no effect on him. Osseus’ Mind Power was stronger beyond anyone’s imagination, so he could easily suppress all sorts of negative emotions in him.

Gryzllo and Heusius’ expressions changed slightly. They did not think that a spell could kill Osseus easily, so they were prepared to cast other spells.

However, Osseus would not give them a chance to do so.

“Too weak!”

Osseus pointed out his hand – it was still Zero Degree Ice Flame. Sea of flames fell upon them directly, threatening both Wizard Gryzllo and Wizard Heusius greatly. Thus, they cast Defensive spells to protect themselves respectively.

It was merely one spell and they could not stand against it!

They were all Seventh-level Spell Casters. The strength of the spells depended on the ability of the Spell Caster. Obviously, a prodigy like Osseus had completely displayed his exceptional talent in constructing spells after becoming a Seventh-level Spell Caster. The Seventh-level spell that he constructed was much stronger than those constructed by Wizard Heusius and Wizard Gryzllo.

“Leo, can you see it? This is the difference between the ordinary and the genius. Only by joining Ozmu, you can become a truly strong Spell Caster! It was a foolish act to stop Raydore then. You’re the one who sent your brother to his death…”

“Osseus!”

Wizard Leo’s aura appeared extremely violent. This was completely different from when he was in the Dark Magic Region. Wizard Leo stared at Osseus as he exclaimed, “Osseus, I said it before. I’ll kill you and avenge Raydore! You lot sent Raydore to his death. Every person in Ozmu must die!”

Immediately, a large pillar of bloody red light shot out from the Darkness Eye on Wizard Leo’s forehead, forming a huge shadow of the vertical eye.

This vertical eye was staring down at Osseus, then Wizard Leo howled, “Darkness Eye, elude!”

“Swoosh!”

A string of red light directly shrouded Osseus. He initially still wore a smile, but his expression changed drastically. His face was slightly twisting and becoming more ferocious.

“I… Illusion. How is this possible? Did I fall into an illusion? No, no. It’s impossible!”

Osseus suddenly yelled frantically. His powerful Mind Power wanted to tear the red light of Darkness Eye apart desperately. At the same time, he cast Zero Degree Ice Flame and frantically blasted it toward Wizard Leo.

“Darkness Eye, disintegrate!”

That gigantic shadow of Darkness Eye on Wizard Leo’s forehead shot out a string of red light again. At once, Zero Degree Ice Flame which Osseus had cast seemed to have met some sort of powerful energy where it was dispersed and put off.

“Darkness Eye, penetrate!”

It was still a string of red light; aimed directly at Wizard Osseus.

“No, no. How can it be so strong? Absolute Defense!”

Fear finally crawled onto Osseus’ face. Immediately, he cast a Defensive spell and formed a protective layer which resembled water on his body.

“Hiss! Hiss!”

He did not know what sort of energy was contained in the red light shot by Darkness Eye which penetrated Osseus’ Seventh-level Defensive spell. Although it seemed to weaken a little, it still overcame Osseus’ spell without fail.

Instantly, the red light was blasted onto Osseus’ white robe. Dense runes immediately appeared on his white robe and formed a large Runic Magic Circle.

However, the white robe still could not stop the red light. Osseus quickly moved sideways and a large bloody hole appeared on his left shoulder.

By now, Wizard Leo’s face had turned extremely pale. It seemed that casting Darkness Eye for three times had taken a toll on him.

However, upon seeing that Osseus was still not killed by Darkness Eye, a hint of madness washed over Wizard Leo.

“Darkness Eye, exterminate!”

Upon seeing the gigantic Darkness Eye was about to shoot another string of red light, Osseus did not dare to take it directly anymore. The Wind Elements on him fluctuated violently.

“Velocious Wind!”

“Swish!”

Osseus’ figure dived into the dark night in the blink of an eye.

“Leo, your Darkness Eye truly opened my eyes today – nothing less expected of Pandora Demon Ability. It seems that I’ve greatly misjudged you back then. You’re the true talent…”

Osseus’ voice still echoed in the air but his figure had far disappeared. A strong Seventh-level Spell Caster like him was exceptional in his ability to escape. Others had no way of chasing after him at all.

Wizard Leo turned around and glanced at Wizard Gryzllo and Wizard Heusius. He said in a cold tone, “I’ll go after Osseus!”

Then, Wind Element fluctuated around him and he disappeared in the night.

All Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region and the Abyss Fort were staring at Wizard Leo’s back, wide-mouthed. Osseus, the legendary Seventh-level Spell Caster and psycho of Ozmu, could even stand against both Gryzllo and Heusius, two Seventh-level Spell Casters.

However, he was terrified of Wizard Leo, a Sixth-level Spell Caster, and ran away from the battle. Such a strange situation had gone beyond people’s understanding.

“Darkness Eye. So, this is Darkness Eye, huh? The legendary Pandora Demon Ability…”

As Wizard Gryzllo looked at Leo’s back, he seemed really stirred and a hint of passion danced in his gaze.
