A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 766: Chapter 764: Life and Death!

”True Demon Body!”

Nameless Ancient Demon, all power originates from Abyssal Demonic Qi, tracing back to the source, it is the Abyss Moss.

Water and Fire Elements clashing to produce Annihilation Force, an energy attack with obliteration properties, the hollow in its chest already made the Nameless Ancient Demon feel the deadly threat of cold sweat. After blasting the Barbarian Giant thousands of meters away, taking advantage of its recovery period, the other two arms raised pure demonic energy spheres and transformed them into torrents pouring into the head of the ancient demon.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

The chaotic and squeezing sound of bones within the body, causing a massive growth of crocodile-like fangs to erupt fiercely, with a ”whoosh” sound, black as ink eyes burning with two flames, thick scales like armor plates re-covered the body.

Gazing at the twisted dark void ripping at the surrounding light from every direction, the Nameless Ancient Demon, without any warning, abruptly punches the air, ”Boom, boom, boom,” causing a spatial collapse to radiate hundreds of meters, hitting the center of the dark void rushing recklessly.

Bang!

In the distance, the center of the dark void halts, seemingly suffering a heavy blow, yet there is no effective counterattack.

The Nameless Ancient Demon, in a hoarse snarl, said: ”As expected, though there are some close combat techniques, enhancing the offensive nature of melee combat, it sacrifices the long-range attack capability of the Ancient Wizard—a completely deficient... Oh, right, Stigma Sorcerer.”

Confidently speculating and analyzing, the instinct of battle discovered Green’s weakness, which was that Green’s Annihilation Force could only exert its power in close combat at this moment.

Crackle!

Light and dark intertwined, arcs of Annihilation Force flashing, the collapsed spatial attack power was completely neutralized by arcs of oblivion.

The Nameless Ancient Demon glanced at the already overwhelmed condition of the Soaring Plume Peacock being chased by demonized Blood Ghosts into the depths of the Sealing Space, a playful and sinister smile appeared at the corner of its mouth, its body turning into a remnant image and playing a cat-and-mouse game, teasing with successive long-range attacks around the relatively cumbersome Barbarian Giant lacking additional attack means.

”Eighty-seven percent magic power remaining, need to save more and wait for the opportunity!”

Green silently calculated the remaining magic power state in the heart of magic, repeatedly responding to attacks from the Nameless Ancient Demon. The attacks coming from all directions, the Nameless Ancient Demon left seemingly countless afterimages in Green’s eyes, attacking again and again, the two beings were fundamentally not on the same level, Green could only use the astonishing magic stored in the heart of magic to ignite arcs of Annihilation Force for deterrence, passive resistance.

At this rate, only one Hourglass’s time or so is needed for Green’s heart of magic to deplete, reverting to its original state and easily killed by the opponent.

A hopeless deadlock!

No way to retreat, no place to escape, yet no hope of victory.

It is precisely this deadlock that left Green without distractions, responding to every attack from the Nameless Ancient Demon, continuously using the instincts honed by years of life-and-death battles in the Abyssal Underworld, every moment facing such an intimidating enemy allowed no distraction.

”Consume sixty-seven percent magic power last time, able to negate most attacks, the residual wave of attacks to be borne by the flesh...”

A series of spatial collapse shock waves blasted towards him, the panting Barbarian Giant gradually stops squandering magic power like before, instead inducing Annihilation Force to twist and draw all the surrounding light.

They begin to attempt learning more precise control over their Annihilation Force, the Barbarian Giant’s figure gradually reveals itself from the twisted black hole of light, becoming the extreme point of light and dark play.

Like a newly born annihilation being from the intermingling of light and dark, the Barbarian Giant lets out a muffled grunt, using only sixty-seven percent magic power like before to stimulate Annihilation Force, clearly not enough to counter a blow from the Nameless Ancient Demon, the residual power deals a tremendous impact on the flesh.

”Oof...”

A muffled grunt, however, Green still held out.

”More damage to the dual-arm mech, should pay more attention to protection, adjust the natural distribution density of rib construction, the life vitality uniquely belonging to the Barbarian Giant hidden beneath the organ of the stomach within a large area of mysterious mechanical tissue, should better utilize these mysterious mechanical tissues to enhance bodily regeneration and repair capability...”

After two Hourglasses’ time.

The Nameless Ancient Demon feels invigorated and triumphant, looking at the Barbarian Giant, already played out and gasping for breath, only feeling incredibly satisfied, having perfectly adapted to the new body composed by the Demon Ancestor’s Severed Finger.

”Demon Ancestor, the deadline for this Sealing Space’s fracture is approaching, quickly don your outer garment and leave here!”

In the distance, a black rat screamed at the Nameless Ancient Demon. The Nameless Ancient Demon sneered coldly, casting a dark gaze towards Green, its massive body leaving a shadow as it charged forward.

”Left front, move, hurry, move...”

Continuous high-intensity combat left Green’s physical strength exhausted. Maintaining the Barbarian Giant transformation had begun to destabilize. Although aware of the incoming attack, Green was unable to retaliate.

This was exactly what the Nameless Ancient Demon wanted—a perfectly intact disguise to help him escape the surveillance of the Wizard World!

An incredible force came from the waist, as a long tail bound the Barbarian Giant, pulling it in front of the Nameless Ancient Demon. Its greedy, pitch-black eyes surveyed the body of astonishing potential, along with the faint attention of the Wizard World’s will, grinning maliciously.

”Move, you must move, this is the last chance! Ah...”

With a roar, the Barbarian Giant stabilized its Third Layer of Wild Instinct Transformation. Its two arms barely moved, desperately trying to pry open the long tail that confined him.

Crackling sounds echoed. Even though the heart of magic had stopped beating, in the struggle between life and death, a backlash of magic power surprisingly restored some strength, unleashing an Annihilation Force attack of Third-Level Wizard intensity. However, the attack was too weak to even breach the scaly defense of the Nameless Ancient Demon’s long tail, merely dissipating some Abyssal Demonic Qi.

Years of life-and-death struggle in the Abyssal Underworld culminated in this moment of extreme struggle. Green had finally achieved a breakthrough, and every cell cheered in the rebirth after exhaustion, seemingly unlocking deep-sealed memories within.

”Ah...”

Amidst the roar, the Barbarian Giant’s body began to expand!

Breakthrough!

This was the most exhilarating moment for a Wild Body-Refining Witch, an in-depth breakthrough into deeper Wild Instincts, a significant evolution in Wild Physique Refinement!

”Oh? Ho, ho, ho, ho, as expected from the garment my king coveted, achieving mutation and evolution independently without being affected by Abyssal Demonic Qi. Interesting, so interesting, truly a beautiful garment that’s hard to take off in the future.”

Poof!

With that, the Nameless Ancient Demon’s black tongue flashed out, puncturing the expanding abdomen of the Barbarian Giant.

A series of ”gurgle,” ”gurgle,” ”gurgle” sounds, as the long black tongue seemed to continuously transfer its flesh into the Barbarian Giant’s abdomen. The Ancient Demon’s body visibly shrank at a rapid pace.

The Barbarian Giant’s eyes bulged, struggling with constant ”ugh ugh ugh” but appeared powerless. On one side was the infusion from the Nameless Ancient Demon, on the other was the self-opened Fourth Layer of Wild Instinct evolution. Two entirely different memories intertwined chaotically, making the head almost explode, blankening the mind.

Hands and feet trembled and twitched, mouth spewing large amounts of white foam, mixed with Abyssal Demonic Qi. The Barbarian Giant’s violent eyes rolled white as its body gradually returned to normal human form.

”Squeak, squeak, squeak, the Demon Ancestor has prepared, let’s quickly crawl into this garment.”

On the other side, Gilgamesh from the essence of the forest twitched all his limbs too, rolling eyes white with black Demon Ancestor’s hair transformed by black mice, entwining pure Abyssal Demonic Qi desperately burrowing into Gilgamesh’s body, hiding inside this ”garment” to thwart the Wizard World will’s probe.

A small half of Hourglass time later.

After Gilgamesh’s eyes rolled back tightly shut, gradually opening again, the originally green eyes turned into a pitch-black, cold and yet excited.

Gilgamesh turned, looking at Green. Amidst the demon cloud, Green regained human wizard form, opening eyes as black as ink, deep and unmoving.

”Demon Ancestor?”

In a probing greeting, suddenly, ”poof,” a small, intricate thumb surrounded by demon cloud remained in place, while Green as the garment seemingly vanished into thin air.

”Hmm? What is this...”

Barely conscious, the spiritual power plummeted, as a multitude of greedy eyes from illusions peered, turning nightmares into reality. Green fled as a shadow towards the depths of the Sealing Space.

”Fourth Layer of Wild Instinct, open!” (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian () to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m..)
