A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1083: A Mentor’s Grace (Part 1)

”Radiation Grand World, directly under the Eternal Spirit Sorcerer of the Radiant Wheel!?”

After receiving a new mission from the Second Ring Holy Tower, Green muttered in disbelief, and even Xiao Ba on his shoulder looked equally shocked. What kind of disadvantageous situation was that place in, to require Green, a sorcerer supposed to be in charge of material transport, to be dispatched to the war front.

”Damn, it seems like trouble, even the Eternal Moonlake Mechanical True Spirit Sorcerer and the Sea King Festival can’t hold it?”

The Wizarding Alliance and Skynet each had their own offense and defense. Among them, the Radiation Grand World was one of Skynet’s main attack worlds and also the defense front for the Wizarding Alliance.

According to some intelligence reports, besides the Eternal Moonlake True Spirit Sorcerer, even the Sea King Festival was in this grand world. Among the four Level 8 Life Forms of the Wizard World, two had descended upon this grand world. Counting the Level 7 Life Forms added by the Wizarding Alliance, it’s feared that the Dominators gathered on this side of the grand world for the Wizarding Alliance would not be less than five!

But now...

At this time, after Green completed the tenth phase of the project, the Face of Truth underwent an entirely new transformation.

The gray-white mask displayed spiral patterns, besides the vertical pupil-like Eye of the World on the center of the forehead, which seemed to ensnare lower beings at a mere glance. Six pairs of compound eyes formed a six-pointed star magic array, blinking at uneven speeds, appearing extremely bizarre.

After a brief silence, Green suddenly spoke, ”Kretia seems to be in this world. Hundreds of years have passed. If she hasn’t succeeded like Mili in earning the Honor Medal, although she has longevity as part of the Mermaid Race, in such urgent war circumstances, a Third-Level Great Sorcerer has probably, almost certainly, perished.”

Unlike when he first undertook the relatively relaxed role of material support during a civilization war mission, Green, though stronger now, still felt like a small, insignificant grain of sand on the vast battlefield of civilization wars.

Even in demise, he wouldn’t leave a massive crater on the ground like those Sixth-Level Stigmata Great Sorcerers after aligning with natural phenomena.

”Where are we going now?”

Xiao Ba looked at Green in surprise and asked.

”To settle my affairs!”

Green’s reply almost left the conversation stuck.

...

Hundredth floor of the Oblivion Tower,

The Source of Magic Power within Oblivion Tower had never been extinguished since the first day the Academy opened. Every magical fluctuation by the academy sorcerers was collected by the Sorcerer’s Tower, converging into the top floor’s Source of Magic Power.

However, Green’s Source of Magic Power was somewhat different from the traditional meaning found in other sorcerer’s towers.

Everywhere, Elemental Clouds surrounded, forming a massive vortex cloud group. Occasionally, a bolt of purification thunder would break through the sky, stirring and cleansing the Abyssal Demonic Qi that the Sorcerer’s Tower tore apart, supporting Green at the behest of the Wizard’s Will, providing Green with a perpetual boost of 50 points of spiritual power for his True Demon Body.

That day, Cappuccino had just outlined a ten-year teaching plan for over a dozen Second-Level Wizards in the academy when he sensed something and suddenly raised his head.

”This is... the arrival of the mentor!?”

Living on the eightieth floor of the Oblivion Tower, Cappuccino, shocked, called for Ivan from another laboratory, and the two quickly made their way to the top of the Oblivion Tower.

Space vibrated, and moments later, from within the Source of Magic Power, Green slowly emerged, wearing the Face of Truth, holding the extreme abyss magic staff, and with seven-colored runes flowing across his body, while Xiao Ba stood on his shoulder.

”Caw caw caw, inform the academy sorcerers, your mentor is convening a sorcerer’s conference.”

Xiao Ba jokingly said to Cappuccino, while Green gazed at Ivan, Cappuccino’s sorcerer partner. Under the gaze of the Fifth-Level Stigma Wizard’s three-colored light eyes and six pairs of compound eyes, this Second-Level Wizard struggled slightly, biting his lip and saluting respectfully.

”Ivan, as I see it, Cappuccino’s ascension to Stigmata is almost certain. The reason I never objected to you two back then was that you had already successfully advanced from wizard apprentice to full-fledged sorcerer. Over the years, you’ve once again reached the point where you’re about to face the same question for the second time. Are you still pursuing your path as a sorcerer?”

”Of course, I am!”

Ivan raised his head, looking up at Green, and responded with resolute strength.

”Good, then I shall not be stingy! This Sands of Time is enough for you to advance to Third-Level Great Sorcerer. May you accompany Cappuccino throughout life, exploring the path of the sorcerer together, and uncover the Truth Mystery of the Endless World.”

Upon saying this, under the astonished gaze of Cappuccino and Ivan, a trace of sand slid through Green’s fingers.

...

First Ring Holy Tower.

Summoned by the True Spirit Sorcerer, Black Isotta arrived in the sacred gathering place of the Tri-Color Sprite Tooth Fairy magical light, the origin of the Nightmare Sorcerer, protecting the dreams of those who believed in ”Tooth Fairy Tales,” banishing the nightmare creatures that created fear, while also suppressing the Power of Despair in the real world.

Meeting the True Spirit Sorcerer for the second time, even once, was an enormous honor for a Second-Level Wizard, let alone twice.

The pressure was boundless like an ocean, like facing the oppression of the entire starry sky. When Black Isotta lifted his head in response to the gentle voice of the True Spirit Sorcerer, he was struck with disbelief and exclaimed, ”Mentor?”

Green sat under the Eternal Moonlake True Spirit Sorcerer, where light and dark intersected. Although he had not embarked on the path of the Nightmare Wizard, he genuinely was one of the six directly affiliated with the Eternal Moonlake True Spirit Sorcerer, contributing his own part to the establishment of the Nightmare Sorcerer System. At this moment, the First Ring Holy Tower imparted external blessings upon Green.

”Indeed, Black Isotta, before this mission, I specially came to see you.”

As he spoke, Green turned to the Eternal Moonlake True Spirit Sorcerer, chuckling darkly, ”How about this disciple?”

”In terms of talent and wisdom, he exceeds the ordinary sorcerers, and it’s said your disciple aspires to surpass you, aiming for you as the target, heh heh heh...”

After being suppressed by the Black Sorcerer King upon his advancement to True Spirit Sorcerer, Black Isotta’s emergence almost became one of the trump cards for the Moonlake True Spirit Sorcerer’s comeback.

”Surpassing the mentor is necessary. If future sorcerers cannot surpass their predecessors, clinging to ancient legends, it would be a complete decline.”

As he spoke, to the utter surprise of the Eternal Moonlake True Spirit Sorcerer, Green produced a fire lotus, which floated onto Black Isotta’s hand, carried by the Elemental Force.

”Essence of Life!”

Even for the Eternal Moonlake True Spirit Sorcerer, such a precious item was astonishing. The Essence of Life can only be slowly cultivated and nurtured by exceptional Level-3 Lifeforms, superior even to the path of the Supreme Sorcerer of the World’s way of advancing to Stigmata, and one of the most challenging advancement methods known in the Sorcerer World.

The last person in the Sorcerer World to advance using this method was Xivilnis from the Second Ring Holy Tower.

Many had long speculated that Green also advanced via this method, but thought the timing didn’t line up, as the cultivation of the Essence of Life required vast amounts of world and energy infusion, thus Green appeared extremely mysterious to some older sorcerers.

And now, Green had produced an Essence of Life!?

”Black Isotta, you are different from everyone else; after your Stigmata, you will possess the memories of two lifetimes as a Stigma Great Sorcerer. This is your chosen Path of the True Spirit for your first life’s Soul Bridal Dress. This life may very well be your last opportunity. I need you to embark on the Path of the True Spirit, not just for yourself, but for the sacrifices of your past two lives, the needs of the Sorcerer World, and for the gratitude of your second life as the Black Tower Stigma Sorcerer to me.”

Emotional words, mentorship as weighty as a mountain, even the reserved Black Isotta couldn’t help but kneel at this moment.

”Yes, Mentor!”
