Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 165

“Damn it!”

Seeing the ember’s arm recover completely and charge at them again, the Staff had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight back.

He knew the opponent’s intention: to drain their strength, both his and the Traveler’s. Once they showed signs of weakness, Ilor, hidden in the shadows, would strike like a venomous snake, biting them mercilessly.

As for Puvido and Moss, he had automatically excluded them from his calculations. Neither the fiery giant, Ember, nor the elusive Ilor, possessed the means to deal with those two. Their only purpose was to help absorb some of Ember’s attacks.

“Hahaha, it’s useless. You’re no match for us!”

Ember’s derisive laughter echoed through the cave, causing rock fragments to fall from the walls.

Boom!

Ember’s fist slammed into the Traveler. The Traveler’s body glowed a pale blue, momentarily mitigating the attack before fading rapidly.

At the same time, the Traveler felt a sudden dizziness, and a pair of bright blue eyes seemed to appear before his eyes.

He instinctively bit his tongue, snapping out of the trance, and poured his Spiritual Power into the branch of the Green Spirit Tree.

As the blue glow intensified, the disoriented feeling vanished instantly.

“Damn it!”

The Traveler cursed under his breath. That woman’s illusions were truly insidious. Any slight lapse in their defenses, and they would fall prey to her magic.

If this continued, they were doomed to defeat.

He turned to the Staff, meeting the Staff’s gaze.

Their eyes locked, and instantly, both understood their plan.

Without hesitation, the Traveler and the Staff both dashed in opposite directions.

Ember paused briefly, a moment of indecision flickering in his eyes.

Which one should he chase?

Should he split up with Ilor and pursue them individually?

But doing so would break their combined attack.

In a one-on-one scenario, he wasn’t entirely confident in his ability to take down either the Staff or the Traveler.

However, he soon didn’t have to hesitate.

A muffled whooshing sound filled the air as a sudden gust of wind swept through the entire cave.

Both the Staff and the Traveler, as well as Puvido and Moss, were momentarily frozen, a look of bewilderment in their eyes.

“Hahaha, Ilor, you never cease to amaze me!”

Ember laughed, reaching out with both hands to grab Puvido and Moss. His enormous fiery hands clenched, instantly turning the two into a pile of ash.

He then strode towards the Traveler, smashing him with a punch and sending him flying towards the Staff.

The Staff and the Traveler had just broken free from the illusions when they looked up to see a circle of scorching flames enveloping them, leaving no room for escape.

Witnessing this, their hearts sank.

The woman hidden in the darkness possessed uncanny and unpredictable illusionary powers.

They wouldn’t be able to escape or defeat Ember unless they dealt with her first.

But she remained hidden, concealed in the shadows. They were powerless against her.

“Don’t bother struggling. Surrender and die. It’ll be less painful.”

Ember’s mocking voice echoed through the flames, coming from all directions.

The Staff and the Traveler ignored him, attempting to escape again when a thunderous roar suddenly echoed in their ears.

Turning to the source of the sound, they saw a giant hole tear open in the dense wall of fire, and a figure rushed in.

The moment they recognized the face, the Staff and the Traveler both beamed with relief.

“Su Nan!”

Su Nan glanced at the Staff and the Traveler before looking around.

Were these flames coming from that Ember guy, the Eternal Society’s Wizard Apprentice?

“You!”

The flames around them momentarily paused. Ember’s low voice resonated, then rose a few pitches.

“You came at the perfect time. Let’s finish you off together!”

With Ilor assisting from the shadows, even against three Wizard Apprentices of the same rank, Ember was confident in his victory.

With a burst of laughter, the flames swirled down towards them, a raging torrent cascading upon them.

At the same time, an odd energy wave enveloped the three.

Su Nan felt his vision blur, and countless spectral figures with disheveled hair appeared out of thin air, clawing at him.

“Illusions.”

Su Nan immediately recognized the source of the attack. It explained why the Staff and the Traveler were struggling even against Ember alone, with someone else attacking them from the shadows.

It must be the woman rumored to be skilled in illusions, Ilor.

However, even knowing it was an illusion, Su Nan could still feel the chilling atmosphere and the heavy negative energy emanating from the specters.

This was the power of illusions!

Even if you knew they were illusions, as long as you couldn’t break them, the damage they caused would be real.

Without hesitation, Su Nan moved his mind slightly. One of the crimson markings on the back of his right hand suddenly glowed red before vanishing.

At the same time, a heavy, booming bell sound echoed throughout the cave.

The spectral figures lunging at Su Nan seemed to collide with something, screaming before dissolving into nothingness.

In the shadows of a corner of the cave, a graceful figure stumbled out, clutching her chest. A pair of bright blue eyes revealed her pain.

It was Ilor.

The sonic attack of the Death Knell Sigil was omnidirectional and indiscriminate.

The Staff and the Traveler were also affected, but they were further away and had the protection of the Golden Staff and the Green Spirit Tree, so they only felt discomfort.

Ilor, who was directly in front of Su Nan when she cast the illusion, was directly hit by the soul shock embedded in the sonic waves. It dealt a significant blow to her.

Another victim of the attack was Ember. The vast wall of flames absorbed most of the sonic attack’s power, erupting like boiling oil splashed with water. Ember’s pained cries echoed through the flames.

Seizing this opportunity, Su Nan dashed towards Ilor, unleashing a barrage of Spell Missiles.

Ten Spell Missiles scattered, arcing through the air in various trajectories, attacking Ilor from all sides, completely blocking any chance she had of dodging.

From afar, the Staff stared with wide eyes.

“Spell Construction!”

But the truly shocking part was still to come. Following the Spell Missiles, a searing ray of light shot from Su Nan’s palm, its speed like an arrow.

There was no pause between the two spells.

“Instant Spell Casting!”

The Staff gasped.

Another Super Magic Technique!

Two, no, considering Spell Silent Casting, that would make three!

Su Nan actually mastered so many Super Magic Techniques!

Ilor and Ember were equally astonished.

Wind and water currents converged in front of Ilor, forming a barrier that blocked the searing ray.

However, the Spell Missiles coming from the sides and behind were impossible to dodge. Ilor could only endure the impact, her invisible shield shattering and dissipating in an instant. The residual energy hit the magical protection of her magical item, causing a ripple effect.

The power of these spells shocked Ilor.

They were far more powerful than typical second-ring spells.

It wasn’t just the enhanced power from Spell Construction. Su Nan’s Spiritual Power must have been exceptionally high!

Although the Eternal Society had gathered intelligence regarding Su Nan’s powerful strength, Ilor only truly grasped the weight of that description at this moment.

From Su Nan’s appearance until now, it had only been a few breaths, yet both she and Ember had been injured, and their initial advantage had been reversed, completely beyond their expectations.

“Die!”

Ember roared, an endless sea of flames surging towards Su Nan, engulfing him and burning him to ash.

Su Nan remained unfazed. The Ice Seal Necklace around his neck flashed, and a wave of extreme cold erupted from his body, engulfing the surrounding area.

Crack!

The surging flames instantly extinguished, transforming into frozen particles that fell to the ground.

The endless sea of flames rapidly diminished before their very eyes. The temperature in the air plummeted.

“Aaah!”

Ember let out a bloodcurdling scream, consumed by intense pain. His rage swelled, and the flames expanded and strengthened once more.

Su Nan sneered, suppressing Ilor with spells, preventing her from using illusions, while simultaneously taking out a new Ice Seal Necklace.

Instantly, another icy shockwave engulfed the surroundings.

Then a third, a fourth, and so on.

The Staff and the Traveler stood speechless.

They could clearly see that those necklaces were all Gleaming-Grade magical items. And because of that, they were awestruck by Su Nan’s actions.

It was the first time they had seen someone use Gleaming-Grade magical items like this!

Other Wizard Apprentices treated their Gleaming-Grade magical items as their trump cards, using them only when absolutely necessary.

But Su Nan was treating them as consumables, one after another.

It was outrageous!

As they watched, the Staff and the Traveler grew numb.

Within a short span of time, Su Nan had already used his seventh Ice Seal Necklace.

His Gleaming-Grade magical items must have been more numerous than his own Alchemical-Grade magical items?

Where did he even get them all?

Under the onslaught of continuous blows, Ember’s ferocity faded.

The flames that once engulfed half the cave had shrunk to a height of only two meters, returning to their human form.

But their color was now exceptionally dim, as if they might extinguish at any moment.

The fiery face, which was now formed in the shape of a human, revealed a human expression of fear and horror.

Su Nan’s relentless attacks had dispelled all his fury and madness. The only thing left was pure terror.

“What the hell is going on with this guy?”

“Why does he have so many Gleaming-Grade magical items?”

The situation had completely reversed. Now, it was Ember and Ilor who were considering retreat.

They were utterly terrified by Su Nan, realizing that they were no match for him, their minds unconsciously coming up with escape plans.

Without hesitation, they both retreated, speeding away in different directions.

Witnessing this, the Staff and the Traveler couldn’t help but sigh in awe.

They had struggled endlessly to defeat Ilor and Ember, only to find themselves at a disadvantage. But the moment Su Nan arrived, he had driven them into a chaotic retreat.

The difference in strength was clear as day!

The Traveler was fine, having already witnessed Su Nan kill Bloodmouth and Deathhand.

But this was the first time the Staff had seen Su Nan’s true power with his own eyes.

He had always known Su Nan was strong, but never imagined he was this powerful.

While marveling at Su Nan’s strength, neither of them stood idly by. They quickly intercepted Ilor and Ember.

“Don’t bother struggling. Surrender and die. It’ll be less painful.” The Traveler grinned at Ember.

Ember had just spoken those same words to them a moment ago, and hearing them again from the Traveler, even the air seemed to fill with a sense of irony.

Ember gritted his teeth in anger, but his body continued to move, unleashing a furious wave of flames towards the Traveler.

If he was caught here, he’d be finished once Su Nan made his move.

But the Traveler understood this as well, and facing Ember’s attack, he didn’t even bother to dodge. He stood his ground, relying on the blue glow surrounding his body to absorb the blow.

This brief delay gave Su Nan the chance to strike.

Countless dazzling silver lights tore through the darkness, striking like lightning from afar, engulfing Ember in a storm of metal.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Sharp, piercing sounds echoed through the air, merging into a single, continuous noise.

The silver metallic storm completely engulfed the area where Ember stood!

The Traveler retreated, staring in shock at the spectacle before him.

“Spells? That doesn’t seem right. Could it be magical items?”

“But Gleaming-Grade magical items don’t have that kind of power, do they?”

Even though the Traveler wasn’t the target of the attack, he could still feel the terrifying power of the silver metallic storm from where he stood.

If he had faced this attack head-on, even with the Green Spirit Tree, he wouldn’t be confident in his ability to completely resist it.

After ten seconds, the metallic storm gradually dissipated.

Ember’s figure had disappeared, leaving behind only a wisp of smoke and a spatial ring.

Su Nan reached out and the spatial ring landed in his palm.

Without pausing, he turned towards Ilor.

From afar, she saw Ember’s death and her heart sank. She tried to escape, but the Staff clung to her like a shadow.

Boom!

At that moment, the nearby rock wall suddenly exploded.

Amidst the flying rock fragments, several figures rushed out one after another.

In the dim tunnel.

Rose and Heart flew in a panic.

Only the sound of their rapid breathing echoed through the silent tunnel.

Suddenly, Heart cursed under her breath.

“Damn it, why did things turn out like this?”

Rose sighed deeply, not responding.

The sudden roar from the Stone Scorpion had disrupted their ambush, leaving them scattered and disoriented.

All their companions were separated, and their initial numerical advantage vanished.

Snapping out of the daze, she realized she was alone.

After a long search, she finally reunited with Heart and Bones, but then they encountered Saulo.

The battle erupted in an instant!

It was only after actually fighting that Rose realized how terrifying the founder of the Eternal Society truly was.

It was three against one, they had the advantage in numbers, but in the actual confrontation, they were defeated and scattered in just over ten minutes.

Midway through their flight, Rose and Heart reunited.

They briefly discussed their strategy and decided to find the others first, and then confront Saulo with their combined strength.

As they flew further, Rose suddenly paused, her expression changing.

“Movement!”

Heart snapped out of her daze, listening intently. She also heard sounds coming from a distance.

They immediately assumed a defensive stance.

Soon, three figures rushed out from the corner ahead.

Rose looked closer and sighed with relief.

The figures were Night Owl, Black Forest, and Hunter, who had been separated from them.

“You. . .”

Rose was about to ask a question, but Night Owl interrupted her.

“Run!”

He said, urging them to flee as the three sped towards them, their expressions panicked.
