Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 622: Chapter 266: Warmth Within the Wizard Tower (Part 2)

They used black market deals to spread powerful curses and evil magic among various factions.

These spells could affect the user, corroding their mind, ultimately leading them to self-destruction.

A young and ambitious new Hell Mage named Lilith was sent to the port city, and she decided to manipulate it all herself.

She disguised herself as an ordinary merchant to make contact with various factions.

Beneath her sweet and enchanting exterior was hidden an incredibly dangerous magic ability.

Lilith began to interact with some of the young apprentices, subtly mentioning some of David’s shortcomings and inciting their dissatisfaction with subtle, meticulous words.

Under her clever verbal inducement, some apprentices began to doubt their choices and felt lost about the future.

Meanwhile, in another secret meeting, Asmode gathered all his loyal forces to discuss how to proceed further.

An experienced and cautious High Priest proposed, ”We can use the teleportation gate to summon some small demons from the Abyss Realm to create panic where humans gather. This will force everyone to divert their attention, thus providing cover for our plans.”

Asmode pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, ”Just as I had in mind. But be careful not to draw too much attention; we must remain hidden, and everything must proceed in the shadows.”

As the struggle between factions intensified, a new game about future order and power quietly unfolded, filled with conspiracy, betrayal, and unpredictable variables.

In this Alien Race Continent, every choice could change the future, and every battle could lead to irreversible developments.

As time passed, David gradually sensed that the atmosphere around him became subtly uneasy.

Though his young apprentices were full of admiration for him, a few seemed to whisper secretly and their eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction and wavering.

David decided to delve into this; he knew that in this turbulent era, any minor discord could lead to unpredictable consequences.

After a gathering where he shared magic knowledge with the apprentices, David kept back one young apprentice who often interacted with Lilith—Alvin.

He saw the hidden sorrow in Alvin’s heart, so he gently asked, ”Alvin, you seem to have something on your mind lately. Have you encountered any troubles?”

Alvin hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered the courage to say, ”Teacher, some people say you’re not as powerful as rumored, and they doubt whether you can truly lead us to become strong. Some apprentices are losing confidence, and...I don’t know whom to trust.”

David frowned slightly, realizing that this was the message and influence left by Lilith after infiltrating around him.

He decided to take the initiative to unveil this conspiracy. ”Who said these words?”

”I heard from...that new merchant Lilith.” Alvin whispered.

Upon hearing this name, David sensed a vague danger approaching.

As a member of the Hell Mages, Lilith was no virtuous person; she wielded not only enchanting demon power but also deeper control from dark magic. She was not only inciting his apprentices but also eroding the entire emerging power.

”Thank you for telling me this.” David patted Alvin’s shoulder, ”Keep an eye on her, and inform me immediately of any situation.”

As night fell, David quietly infiltrated the port city, searching the black market’s information network for intel on Lilith and the forces behind her.

He transformed into a Nightwalker, using the keen and superior perception of a Sea Dragon Dragon Descendant Mage to investigate the surroundings meticulously.

Before long, he discovered a shop named ”Abyssal Commerce Association,” which specialized in trading various forbidden magic materials and had close ties with many underground forces.

Through an in-depth investigation, he learned that a figure frequently appeared in the commerce association, and that was Lilith.

Not only was she frequently purchasing dark magic materials, but she was also conducting secret transactions with other insidious forces, raising David’s vigilance even higher.

To find evidence to expose her conspiracy and influence, David decided to make direct contact with the Abyssal Commerce Association.

On a night as black as ink, he assumed the identity of an adventurer and infiltrated the commerce association.

He engaged in conversations with those selling forbidden knowledge and deliberately revealed his interest in ”charm power” to attract Lilith’s attention.

Sure enough, he soon saw Lilith deep in a transaction.

At that moment, she appeared magnificent and elegant, yet brimmed with a menacing aura.

The people around her seemed somewhat nervous, sensing an unprecedented pressure emanating from such presence.

During the conversation, Lilith showed great interest in David, ”You seem to have great potential. Interested in joining us? To harness truly powerful forces?”

At that moment, David realized she was unaware of the massive threat she was about to face.

He responded with a seemingly relaxed demeanor, ”Of course, I’m also interested in uncovering the secrets behind the enchanting demon power, but...I prefer to stand on the bright side.”

No sooner had the words been spoken than a low, piercing laughter rang out; it was the moment when hidden assassins lurked, preparing for an attack.

However, at this critical moment, mysterious light flashed from his palm, repelling all approaching enemies and simultaneously forming a protective film.

With the flash of mysterious light, the surrounding air turned tense and intense.

Lilith was momentarily stunned, then displayed a dangerous smile.

”Hmph, interesting.”

Lilith softly said, seemingly surprised by David’s sudden display of power, yet unshaken.

She slowly extended her hand, and a dark spell formed at her fingertips, power intertwined with curses and suffering.

David tightened his heart, knowing that in this darkness, any mage could conceal a deadly attack.

He swiftly focused his attention, channeling magic energy into a protective shield beside him to withstand the imminent assault.

”Do you think light can conquer darkness?”

Lilith coldly stated as she launched her dark spell towards David.

The curse flew at him, like a twisting shadow of a snake, fast and deadly.

At this moment, David quickly deployed a rebound shield, dissolving the black curse in midair and immediately counterattacking.

He muttered an ancient incantation, and an energy ball glowing blue shot out from his palm, streaking through the night sky like a meteor towards Lilith.

”Hmph!”

Facing this sudden attack, Lilith did not retreat.

She gently waved her fingers, and a circle of charm power spread from around her, distorting the elements in the surrounding air.

The energy ball was instantly absorbed into her domain filled with magic runes, then transformed into a more potent force and struck back towards David.

”Indeed, a clever and dangerous person.” David remained vigilant internally.

He planted his feet firmly, mobilizing long-buried power within him, preparing to unleash his most powerful magic—Dragon Vein Fury.

As the chant in his mouth grew more intense, his whole body became enveloped in a blue dragon shadow, a unique unwavering aura of the Dragon Race beginning to circulate within him.

When he completed the spell, a massive dragon-shaped phantom broke through the space constraints, rushing at Lilith with unimaginable momentum.

This force, as if to devour everything, made the confident and attractive mage involuntarily show a worried expression.

”Impossible!”

She exclaimed, swiftly retreating and assuming a defensive stance.

However, it was already too late, and this strike condensed from ancient power inevitably descended!

A thunderous roar resounded, and the dragon erupted instantly, causing endless energy waves that swept through everything around, including the unprepared assassins who were also caught in the chaos, looking utterly pathetic.
