Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 1432: Section 1433 Pure Energy

Looking at the figure curled up beneath the dome, Isabella’s mood suddenly became very complex.

Had Angel really failed?

Emotionally, she felt a bit of schadenfreude, but if she were to return to reality, Isabella’s rationality had not left her; she was well aware that if Angel’s breakthrough failed, it would undoubtedly be a significant loss for Black Castle. The friendship pact that had been settled with Illusion Demon Island might also encounter unexpected issues.

Although she didn’t care about the alliance with Illusion Demon Island, her most admired, beloved, and cherished mentor placed great importance on it.

Because of this, Isabella was actually feeling very conflicted. She wished for Angel to fail, yet she didn’t want to see her mentor disappointed.

At this thought, Isabella couldn’t help but look towards her mentor.

Now that Angel’s advancement had failed, what would Isabel think?

But to her surprise, Isabel’s expression was bizarre, her brows deeply furrowed, her face filled with confusion and doubt.

Isabella couldn’t help asking, “Did Angel fail?”

Isabel hesitated for a moment, neither shaking her head nor nodding, but slowly said, “I don’t know, but when I look at him, I have a feeling.”

“As if staring into an abyss.”

Staring into the abyss? The people on the Ghost Ship did not understand what Isabel meant.

Isabel didn’t explain, she just softly said, “I can’t predict what will happen in the next second. It could be a failure, or perhaps…” an even more intense outburst.

Isabel did not finish her sentence.

Others were confused by her words: Wasn’t the situation very clear now? What else could happen in the next second other than failure?

While everyone felt puzzled, an unexpectedly terrifying sense of oppression suddenly appeared.

This sudden oppressive force even made Isabella feel a strong discomfort.

However, the source of the pressure did not come from beneath their feet but rather from above their heads… the profound void.

…

Meanwhile, in the Inner Layer World, within the Soul Realm on the second sub-level of Black Castle, in a quiet room.

Frost, wearing a gear mask, was meditating with his eyes closed. The injuries inflicted by the Reincarnation Casket of the Undead were not as superficial as they had appeared; he had stayed in Black Castle hoping to find a peaceful place to heal.

Black Castle was just the right place.

As it was located in the Inner Layer World, the Primordial Magic here was so dense that ordinary wizards couldn’t absorb it, which was perfect for Frost.

What’s more important, Black Castle also had an Angel who greatly intrigued him.

The air was tranquil, and gentle energy flowed quietly.

Without warning, Frost behind the mask suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked up at the ceiling, as if he could see through the thick layers of earth to gaze upon the even higher and deeper void.

“What’s going on? In such a short time, it’s appeared again?” Frost murmured to himself.

After pondering for a moment, Frost stood up and with a single step vanished into thin air.

In the Middle Layer World, beneath the dome, Angel’s situation seemed very wrong. Sanders pondered for a moment, then walked towards Angel.

But as he had just taken two steps, a figure in a black robe appeared before him, blocking his path.

The figure in the black robe turned its head, revealing a bronze gear mask—it was Frost.

“Angel is at a critical moment right now. You better not get close. If anything happens, can you take responsibility?” Frost’s voice reached Sanders’s ears.

Sanders prudently stopped in his tracks.

“What is happening with Angel now?” Instead of questioning why Frost was there, Sanders asked about what concerned him the most.

Sanders himself had gone through countless breakthroughs, but he had never seen a situation like Angel’s.

It had seemed like Angel had already succeeded in the breakthrough, and Sanders had even begun to relax, but then an unexpected change occurred in the next second.

The Transformation into a Magic Vortex had been successful, and the expansion of the Spirit Sea had ended. In Sanders’ view, the breakthrough should have been over at this point, and after spending some time stabilizing the Magic Vortex and nourishing the Psychic Model, everything should have been complete.

But Angel had encountered a mishap at this moment.

To this day, Sanders had no idea what could go wrong in the final stage.

Now that Frost had appeared and spoken such meaningful words, it seemed like he knew about Angel’s current situation, which prompted Sanders to seek confirmation from him.

Frost looked up at the dark void and whispered, “Soon, you will know.”

…

Time rewound to not long ago.

Angel had reached the final step of stabilizing the Magic Vortex, allowing the Magic Vortex Embryo to come into contact with the Primordial Magic of the outside world for the first time.

Would the Magic Vortex be able to turn the Primordial Magic into an essence of pure energy?

Angel carefully absorbed the primordial magic power from the outside world; in the suitably concentrated Middle Layer World, the primordial magic power he absorbed was just right. As the primordial magic power entered the Magic Vortex Embryo, Angel’s mood also began to hang in the balance.

Soon, in the process of the Magic Vortex Embryo’s rotation, some of the overly active and mixed energy-primordial magic powers were intercepted by Angel midway.

This was a normal occurrence.

These intercepted primordial magic powers were not unusable. It was only because the Magic Vortex Embryo had a fixed threshold for the primordial magic power it could absorb that, in Angel’s current situation, they were temporarily unsuitable.

Only by continuously strengthening the Magic Vortex in the future would he be able to utilize these primordial magic powers.

And these mixed primordial magic powers were key to the final step of the process: the ability to quickly capture them and then eliminate them from the Mind Space was critical to success or failure.

If these primordial magic powers affected the formation of the Magic Vortex, there was a high chance that the Whirlpool of Magic Source would fail.

Angel prepared meticulously to capture the primordial magic power.

At this time, Angel finally witnessed the power of the “Singularity Scattering Meditation Method.” The Mind Space opened up by this Guiding Method was far more sensitive to energy compared to other methods.

It allowed Angel to quickly sense the location of the primordial magic power.

This greatly increased his chances of a successful advancement!

Moreover, Angel could use the Axis of Myriad Manifestations’ coordinate positioning to lock onto the chaotic primordial magic power accurately and quickly. Since the Magic Vortex was still in a semi-stable state, Angel didn’t dare release these primordial magic powers; instead, he restrained them within the Mind Space through his multitasking abilities, waiting for the final outcome.

From here on, everything was out of Angel’s control.

Success depended on whether the Magic Vortex could stabilize smoothly. If it stabilized successfully, his goal for the day would be achieved.

According to Angel’s own calculations, the chances of a successful stabilization were very high, but he did not exclude the possibility of unforeseen accidents. Therefore, he was actually quite nervous.

Minutes later, when the rotating Magic Vortex began to emit a faint white glow, Angel was startled.

He knew all too well what this white light was!

It was the pure energy transformed from primordial magic power!

Once he confirmed the nature of the energy, Angel let out a deep sigh of relief. At the same time, a surge of excitement and joy welled up from the depths of his heart.

The appearance of Essence Energy was of great significance to the Whirlpool of Magic Source.

It meant that Angel’s calculations of the Magic Vortex Seed were correct, that the hardships he’d faced during the breakthrough were not in vain, that the Magic Vortex Embryo had successfully transitioned from a semi-stable state to a completely stable one; it meant that the Magic Vortex Embryo could finally shed the term “embryo”!

It also meant that Angel’s journey through the breakthrough had finally reached its final chapter.

He was about to conclude with a successful full stop.

How could this not make Angel happy? Wasn’t this moment what he had stepped onto the path of a wizard for?

Only by breaking through to become an Official Wizard was a true transformation realized.

Although Apprentices were also called Transcendents, they tended to be more “Talented Ones.” Only within the domain of a wizard did one belong to the realm of true Transcendent life!

Moreover, many things could only be done upon becoming a wizard, rather than with the previous cautious approach.

For example, seeking the path of truth, responding to the calling of one’s true inner self. Or like following the remote Eye of the Sky, leading Jon back to his homeland.

In a single moment, numerous wonderful visions flashed through Angel’s mind, waiting for him to make them a reality.

However, Angel remained restrained, not fully releasing the reins of his elation and anticipation.

For now was not the time to celebrate.

The breakthrough was still in progress, and the joy of success was to be saved until everything was complete. Now he needed to methodically execute the last part; only once this phase was complete would he truly have succeeded.

In truth, this final phase, though called a phase, was more like a ceremony.

It involved using the Essence Energy of the Magic Vortex to connect with the Psychic Model, allowing this nascent energy to nourish the Psychic Model.

Angel cautiously manipulated the energy that he had successfully Transmuted.

The purity and power of this energy were beyond Angel’s imagination. The mere trickle of this energy flooding out was, in its essence, comparable to nearly half the magical core’s magnitude from his Apprentice days!

This was a qualitative change!

This was the energy of true Wizard Level!

Angel was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of transformation would take place in the Psychic Model when this stream of energy entered it.

As this unprecedented Essence Energy entered the Psychic Model, Angel could feel an instant change within it. Although this change was not apparent at the moment, it was like a seed planted in the soil, which, with continued nourishment of the Psychic Model, would eventually sprout from the earth.

The pure energy flowed slowly through the Psychic Model.

Angel’s thoughts also followed the energy as it slowly advanced, and when this energy reached every corner of the Psychic Model, it would mean that the dust had settled.

However, in this final moment,

This advancing energy brought Angel an unexpected result.

As the energy nourished the Psychic Model, the Gate Model on the witchcraft slot was gradually changing…
