Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1083: Chapter 497: Awakening of the Spirit of the Code

As the ritual proceeded, the underground hall began to shake, and ancient runes glowed on the walls, as if some dormant power was being awakened.

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted, causing the entire hall to tremble.

When the dust settled, the old nobles were surprised to find a group of gargoyles clad in stone armor and wielding sharp blades standing before them.

Their eyes gleamed with a ghostly green light, as if they were warriors returned from hell, ready to fight for the old nobles.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Crystal Song City, Reina stood atop the tallest tower of the royal city, gazing at the storm in the sky.

Her face was filled with gravity; she knew that this storm was not only a natural disaster but a crisis that could overthrow the order of Crystal Song City.

“We must take action!” Reina said to the guards beside her, “Invoke the Ice Hell Energy to calm this storm!”

The guards immediately sprang into action, chanting a spell to summon the power of Ice Hell.

As the spell was completed, streams of cold energy surged from the ground, quickly forming a solid ice wall above the royal city.

However, at this moment, the resurrected Stone Golem Corps of the old nobles launched a sudden attack.

They charged toward the royal city like a gale storm, leaving devastation in their wake.

Seeing this, Reina promptly mobilized more Ice Hell Energy for defense.

A fierce battle broke out over Crystal Song City.

Although the gargoyles were powerful, they gradually lost their advantage in the face of the cold energy from Ice Hell.

They were covered by layer upon layer of ice, eventually falling powerless to the ground.

Meanwhile, the old nobles suffered heavy losses in the battle, with many being accidentally hurt by the gargoyles or affected by the Ice Hell Energy amidst the chaos.

By the time they realized their defeat, it was already too late.

Reina stood on the tower, watching all of this unfold.

Her eyes held both the joy of victory and a reflection on the catastrophe.

She knew that although she had successfully quelled the storm and repelled the rebels, the crisis facing Crystal Song City was far from over.

After the battle ended, Reina ordered that the frozen old nobles and gargoyles be taken to the royal city’s dungeon for detention.

However, when she personally went to check the dungeon, she discovered a startling phenomenon: those frozen, though their bodies were immobile, their consciousnesses were exceptionally active!

Reina was astonished to see the rebels sealed in ice; their expressions still maintained startled and desperate looks, but their eyes glistened within the ice, as if engaging in some kind of silent communication.

“What is going on?” Reina asked in confusion.

The mages around her all shook their heads, expressing their bewilderment.

After some research, Reina and the mages finally uncovered an astonishing fact: the consciousnesses of these frozen individuals had formed a unique Mind Amber Prison within the ice!

In this prison, their consciousnesses could freely communicate, think, and even plan new plots.

Reina realized this was an unprecedented challenge.

She had to find a way to break this Mind Amber Prison, otherwise, the rebels’ consciousnesses would become a permanent hidden threat to Crystal Song City.

So Reina began summoning the most outstanding mages and scholars in Crystal Song City to collectively research how to solve this problem.

They worked tirelessly day and night, trying to find a method to penetrate the ice and touch the sealed consciousnesses.

In this process, Reina also deeply understood the power and danger of magic power.

She realized that only by using magic power correctly could she truly protect Crystal Song City and its people.

And this storm surge and Crystal Song rebellion undoubtedly taught her a vivid lesson.

After the peace of Crystal Song City was shattered, another deeper and more terrifying disaster was quietly brewing in the Sea of Abyss.

Mi Wei, once a brave and determined ocean explorer, now stood at the crossroads of fate, facing unprecedented challenges.

During a deep-sea expedition, Mi Wei unexpectedly discovered an abyssal entrance concealed by an ancient seal.

Driven by a desire for the unknown and a pursuit of power, she stepped into that forbidden land without hesitation.

However, she did not know that this would be the darkest moment of her life.

In the abyss slumbered the ancient body of Cthulhu—a Sea Emperor with boundless power and terrifying form.

Mi Wei’s intrusion inadvertently activated the seal, awakening this sleeping giant.

Cthulhu’s tentacles coiled around Mi Wei like giant pythons, and streams of dark, mighty energy began to flow into her body.

Mi Wei tried to struggle, but her power seemed so insignificant before Cthulhu.

She could only watch helplessly as her body was gradually overtaken by darkness, her right eye mutating into a proliferating tumor, emitting a nauseating stench.

“No! I can’t just be swallowed like this!” Mi Wei screamed in her heart, but her voice was quickly drowned out by the abyss’s roar.

At this moment, David appeared, carrying the core of the Void Dragon Beast.

He witnessed Mi Wei’s dire situation, filled with anger and determination.

He could not let Mi Wei disappear into the abyss, nor could he allow Cthulhu’s evil power to once again sweep across the continent.

David swiftly implanted the core of the Void Dragon Beast into Mi Wei’s heart, and a powerful force instantly surged into Mi Wei’s body.
