Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 520 - 27 Take action

Mei Weiya headed straight for the beast tide with the Night Owl.

Their main objective was to investigate the situation and, if possible, attempt to resolve the source of the beast tide.

"Your Highness seems quite interested in the transformation of Dragon Calamities into evil dragons?" during their flight, the Night Owl asked.

"Such techniques, which transform other life forms from the inside out, are Forbidden Techniques. It’s best not to get too involved."

"Hmm," Mei Weiya said noncommittally. "I’m just looking."

Transforming life forms is intolerable to the Gods, but this path, taken to its extreme, also leads directly to the Great Dao.

Just like the ’Three Disks Skill’ from an Exotic Realm she had chanced upon, which spoke of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends and was, in theory, capable of infinite transformations.

Once mastered, the path to the Fourth-tier would be wide open!

"We’re here!"

Unaware of Mei Weiya’s true thoughts, she and the Night Owl stopped above a warped forest, looking down.

"Hmm..." Mei Weiya pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes flickering. "Even plants can be transformed?"

Indeed!

The Dragon Calamity’s methods were similar to the ’Three Disks Skill’; not only living creatures but even trees and rocks could be changed.

"Yes," the Night Owl said, his expression serious. "The trees will turn into wooden dragons, plundering the life force of other beings. Fortunately, due to the bloodline connection, we can pinpoint the source of the beast tide. The transformation will stop if we kill the followers spreading the Dragon Calamity’s Bloodline."

"That’s convenient," Mei Weiya said with a light smile. "That way, although the Dragon Calamity’s Upper-level Vassal, the Black Dragon, is strong, we can constantly track his location through this method. There’s no need to worry about him launching a sneak attack."

"Yes," the Night Owl nodded. "The Gods also aim to kill the source when dealing with the Dragon Calamity. It’s just that the Dragon Calamity’s true body is an Upper God, hidden in a special place in the Star Realm. It’s a place even the Divine cannot enter; otherwise, the Dragon Calamity would have been eliminated long ago."

"Let’s go," Mei Weiya said. "Let’s go down and have a look."

The two concealed their forms and descended. They had not yet touched the ground when a faint mist suddenly emerged around them.

No! It was vapor!

"Hmm?" Mei Weiya’s expression changed, and she darted skyward.

"Since you’re already here, why the rush to leave?" A stream of water coalesced within the mist, taking the form of Hong Qiu, who said, "City Lord of the City of Death, descendant of the God of Death Sleep’s Bloodline, we’ve been waiting for you for a full half-year."

"Hong Qiu," Mei Weiya frowned. "Is it just you alone?"

"What?" Hong Qiu chuckled. "Am I not enough on my own?"

He was an Upper-level Vassal with the strength of the Third-tier Early Stage, but he was limited by the world’s rules and could not fully demonstrate his power.

However, the world’s rules had now relaxed and could accommodate an outburst of Second Order Middle Stage power, allowing him to use many techniques. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Dealing with Mei Weiya was not a challenge.

Moreover...

"BOOM!"

Branches from the forest below erupted, twisting like aberrant creatures, claws bared, pouncing towards the two.

Furthermore, three Second Order evil dragons soared into the sky, surrounding Mei Weiya and the Night Owl.

"Today," Hong Qiu scoffed, "I’d like to see where you can escape."

"Escape?" The Night Owl’s gaze shifted as he asked, "Why would we need to escape?"

Before his words had finished, the void beside him suddenly deepened and darkened as if ink had stained the space.

Then, a figure stepped out from within.

"Allow me to introduce him," the Night Owl said with a slight bow. "This is my tutor, and also an Upper-level Vassal of the Death God, known by the moniker ’Death God’s Wing,’ Abel."

"Abel?" Hong Qiu’s expression became grave. "Weren’t you supposed to take a few more days to get here?"

"I sped up the journey and just arrived yesterday," Abel, a refined and scholarly-looking older man, smiled and replied. "Her Highness asked me to remain concealed for the time being and accompany her on this trip. Little did I expect there’d actually be an ambush."

"So what?" Hong Qiu said, remaining calm. "With the preparations I’ve made here, even if I can’t kill you, I can trap you for some time."

"And by then... the situation over there should be resolved."

「City of Death.」

Mei, clutching her chest, stumbled backward repeatedly, her face filled with terror as she looked at the man approaching step by step, dagger in hand.

"Why?"

"There is no why, just pure fondness," Lei An said, licking his sharp dagger with a smile. "A follower of the God of Light, and yet you didn’t die from my backstab."

"You..." Mei’s eyes narrowed. "You are not a follower of the Hunting God!"

"Correct," Lei An shrugged. His facial muscles writhed, and his appearance changed. Though still handsome, he now gave off a sinister vibe. "I worship the God of Deception. Only by successfully deceiving and betraying can one receive the God’s blessing."

"You are..." Carl eyed the newcomer, his brow furrowed. "Lei An’s twin brother?"

He was trapped in a Barrier, and two people appeared before him. One of them looked almost identical to Lei An, who had pledged allegiance recently.

The reason he did not believe it was the same person was that the two had completely different temperaments.

"My name is Kidi," Kidi, who had white hair and blue eyes, carried a longbow, and held a silver spear, bowed to Carl and said, "A follower of the Hunting God."

"As for the Lei An you mentioned... he is a follower of the God of Deception. By now, he has likely killed the follower of the God of Light and is on his way here."

The God of Deception?

Carl understood and then turned to the other person. "A follower of the God of Water?"

"Indeed," Aiste, who had a carp’s head and wielded two large golden hammers, grunted in affirmation. "Enough talk, let’s deal with him first!"

"Yes." Kidi smiled, and his body shot back like a nimble snake as he simultaneously drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

Continuous Attack!

"SWOOSH!"

Three cold gleams, like flashes of lightning, shot towards Carl. He only had time to raise his hand as the arrows struck him.

"THUD!"

"RUMBLE..."

A timely Buddha phantom projection blocked the attack, but his Battle Aura was still violently agitated.

Before he could take further action, two streams of light bombarded him from front and back.

They were Aiste’s hammers.

"CRASH!"

The first hammer shattered the Buddha phantom, and the second hammer collided with Carl’s palm strike, sending both hammer and hand flying apart.

Carl staggered and retreated with difficulty, only to be immediately enveloped by a rain of arrows descending from the sky.

Kidi and Aiste coordinated flawlessly, one in ranged combat, the other in close-quarters assault, leaving Carl no time to catch his breath.

"Hmph!" Carl grunted, his body enveloped in lightning, rapidly flickering, while various palm strikes thundered out.

His Thunder Seal, in particular, could withstand the two golden hammers.

"How is this possible?" Aiste stepped back in astonishment. "Even if you are favored by the God of Slaughter, you are ultimately a native of this world. You shouldn’t be this strong."

The hammers in his hands were Third-tier Curios. Even an Upper-level Divine Envoy would have to be cautious when facing them, despite the suppression from the world’s rules.

And Carl was able to withstand them with his physical body alone.

Although each collision left Carl battered and bloody, his terrifying Recovery Power allowed him to remain undaunted for a short time.

If Carl possessed some divine Bloodline, such resilience would be understandable, but he was just an ordinary human.

"Don’t rush," Kidi also frowned, but then his expression eased. "With the Barrier in place, we only need to trap him temporarily. We can wait for Lei An or Senior Black Dragon to arrive; it won’t be too late to kill him then."

Upon hearing this, Carl’s expression couldn’t help but darken.

To him, Lei An was inconsequential. However, the Black Dragon, an Upper-level Vassal of the Dragon Calamity, possessed formidable power.

With his abilities, he would likely be at a disadvantage if he faced the Black Dragon alone, let alone with others assisting the Black Dragon.

Now, for some unknown reason, he was unable to escape into the Divine Domain Fragment.

Therefore...

He must swiftly secure victory!
