The Wizard's Pursuit of Truth

Hades advanced on Wang Ya. As his Particle Energy surged, he manipulated the scarce water molecules in the air, forming them into individual droplets. The droplets then shot forward like projectiles, descending upon Wang Ya.

Their speed was immense. A few droplets that struck the ground pierced straight through it like bullets.

He showed no hesitation, nor would he waste time with useless taunts like, ”You’re no match for me. Just give up.”

His goal was simple: use his full power to defeat Wang Ya Harak.

And prevent any unforeseen complications.

His expression was frigid. As the water droplets engulfed Wang Ya, he cast an even stronger Middle-tier Witchcraft: the Corrosive Spear. The remaining water vapor, under the influence of his Particle Energy, coalesced into a number of highly condensed Energy Spears. They appeared blue, constantly battling the ambient Fire Elemental Particles, yet they still maintained their formidable power.

This was the greatest difference between a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice and a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.

Without having undergone the transformation, the intensity of one’s Particle Energy made it difficult to resist the influence of the external environment.

Fiery light enveloped Wang Ya’s entire body, forming the incredibly shocking Flame Demon Doppelganger. With the ground beneath his feet as the epicenter, he guided the Fire Element Particle Energy from the air, simultaneously pulling forth an eruption of Earth Fire.

The moment their clash of Biological Force Fields ended, Wang Ya had already devised a countermeasure.

His opponent was going all out, and so was he.

HISS! HISS!

Earth Fire erupted violently from the crevices of the ravaged ground, a truly shocking sight.

Drawn forth by Wang Ya, the resulting Fear-Burning Fire Witchcraft was even more powerful. A raging sea of fire swelled and burned.

He even urged it to form a spectacular wave of fire that covered a twenty-meter radius, instantly vaporizing the water droplets.

Wang Ya showed no trace of joy. Instead, his brow furrowed. That was just a Low-tier Witchcraft, Rain Falling Star, yet in his opponent’s hands, it was comparable to a Middle-tier Witchcraft.

’So this is the Particle Energy Intensity after undergoing another transformation.’

’It allows Witchcraft to work miracles.’

’Doesn’t that mean his Middle-tier Witchcraft could match the power of a High-tier Witchcraft?’

’No, it shouldn’t be that exaggerated. High-tier Witchcraft is a trump card even for an Extreme Wizard Apprentice.’

’My opponent only just advanced to Level 3 Wizard Apprentice. He probably hasn’t even organized his own Witchcraft System yet, let alone adapted it to his Particle Energy to form his own Witchcraft School.’

This was an opportunity Wang Ya could exploit.

A mortal sense of danger locked onto Wang Ya. His pupils contracted, reflecting the incoming Water Stream Spear that carried terrifying Particle Energy. Water Elemental Energy gathered at its very tip, and the liquid dripping from it ate corrosive pits into the ravaged ground.

Extremely dangerous!

This Witchcraft was top-tier among Middle-tier Witchcraft. Its concentrated power could corrode even solid bone marrow and was incredibly difficult to dispel.

That was Wang Ya’s judgment of the Witchcraft’s power, using himself as the benchmark.

The Flame Demon Domain unfurled beneath his feet, but it failed to reach its full fifty-meter range. It barely managed to expand his Biological Force Field, reaching a radius of about twenty meters.

Consuming thirty percent of his Particle Energy, the furiously burning, formless Fear-Burning Fire continuously dissolved and obstructed the homing Water Stream Spear.

HISS! HISS!

One second, two seconds, three seconds... The spear’s speed was drastically reduced and it was rapidly evaporating, but the quality of the Particle Energy it carried was still a cut above Wang Ya’s own Witchcraft Particle Energy.

The Water Stream Spear still pierced Wang Ya’s chest, pinning him to the ground.

This scene made the hearts of many of the watching Wizards skip a beat.

Dante, Jim, and the others who had fought Wang Ya before guessed what tactic Wang Ya Harak would use next.

Wang Ya himself hadn’t even tried to dodge. It would have been useless; the lock-on and tracking effect seemed to be this Witchcraft’s greatest strength.

Right now, his opponent’s Biological Force Field controlled the larger area, constantly affecting Wang Ya’s senses and his overall State.

Wang Ya dissolved into flowing flames, escaping from where the Water Stream Spear had pinned him. With a FWOOSH, the flames vanished, and he disappeared from his original spot.

Expressions of ”I knew it” appeared on the faces of Jim and the others.

Once a Wizard’s techniques are known, they can be specifically targeted. Your enemies can find ways to counter you.

Three hundred meters away, an Energy Flame coalesced into Wang Ya’s form. His expression was grim. He immediately consumed another portion of his Particle Energy, dissolving into an Energy Flame and vanishing again, only to reappear at another location within his twenty-meter Flame Demon Domain.

A Water Stream Spear materialized where he had just been standing. Having missed its target, it slowly dissipated into Water Elemental Particles, which flowed back toward Hades.

At that moment, a massive, murky cloud of water vapor formed above Hades’s head. From it, Spears of Corruption were continuously taking shape, one after another. Although they formed slowly, their power and the threat they posed were terrifying.

Wang Ya had completely lost control of the battle’s tempo. He could only dodge passively, unable to even get close. His Fear-Burning Fire couldn’t extend beyond the range of his Flame Demon Domain.

’I see. So it’s a special Witchcraft that relies on the area of his Biological Force Field, enabling area-wide attacks and random movement within that range.’ A ripple of understanding went through Hades’ mind. ’Such a Combined Witchcraft... no, this must be a series of coordinated Witchcrafts. One could even call it a Witchcraft School, especially given how smoothly and seamlessly it’s executed.’

’He’s even managed to use these slick techniques to dodge and hold out for a full five minutes against my full-powered attacks.’
