Journey to the Wizarding World

Chapter 377 The Power of the Artifact
A ray of sunlight suddenly cast down from the dark clouds in the sky.

Just when Enzo was about to give up chasing Justin, the drizzle finally ended. In Enzo's light blue eyes, a ghost-like figure was moving fast in the depths of the distant forest.

"Justin!"

Enzo's eyes flashed, he raised his head slightly, looked at the cleared sky, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and said in a low voice, "The rain stopped in time, so you can't blame me."

The next moment, Shadow Wings appeared behind him.

The pitch-black wings trembled in vain, and Enzo flew towards the sky like a falcon, and then flew towards the depths of the forest, catching up to Justin in less than a quarter of an hour.

"So fast?" Below, Justin was startled.

Immediately afterwards, Enzo stood against the sky relying on the wings of shadow, slightly clenched the soul bone magic staff in his hand, chanted a spell in a low voice, and summoned a dark fire meteor in the sky.

Rumble!
The burning black meteorite whizzed and hit the ground, shaking the entire forest. The ground trembled slightly after being impacted. Justin, who was sneaking fast, was blocked by the dark meteorite, and stopped with a cold face.

"It seems that you are determined to stop me?" Justin turned around, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph! Do you think things can end so easily?"

A sneer appeared on Enzo's face, and he said in a deep voice, "When I was a third-level apprentice, I almost died at your hands. Since we met here today, there must be an end between us!"

"You really think you've won me?"

Justin's expression turned ferocious, and he said sharply, "Little brat, don't think that you can do whatever you want with a powerful magical weapon, the battle has just begun!"

After saying that, Justin waved the shoulder with the broken arm, causing the blood to flow on the ground.

The scene that happened just now reappeared. A dark witch formation was formed under the outline of blood. The huge body of the cyclops slowly crawled out from inside, holding a ghoul in its huge palm.

"Hey! Delicious food."

After the fierce battle, the Cyclops' body was covered with hideous scars, even its abdomen was torn apart, and half of its intestines were exposed, but it still looked alive and kicking.

"Is it over?" Enzo couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw the ghoul in the hands of the Cyclops.

At this time, there was a tremor in the distance, and the giant lava monster's thick body chased after it with heavy steps. The battle between the three monsters just now ended with the Cyclops winning.

Crunch!

Relying on his strong physique, the Cyclops defeated the giant lava monster and the ghoul, and grabbed the dying ghoul, opened his bloody mouth and crushed it to pieces.

"How about it, the undead creature you summoned is no match for the Cyclops!"

On the opposite side, Justin seemed a little complacent, and said with a chuckle, "It's still too late to leave now. The hatred between us has not yet reached the level of a life-and-death struggle. It will not benefit anyone if we continue to fight."

Enzo had no expression on his face, and a long black sword appeared in his hand.

"Is this sword also a magic weapon?" Looking at the black long sword in Enzo's hand, Justin's pupils shrank suddenly, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

Not long ago, the Shadow Assassin used this sword to cut off Justin's arm.

Artifact, Night Sword!

The divine sword representing the authority of the goddess of the night was obtained by Enzo in the labyrinth of the night, but since he was only a third-level apprentice at that time, he could not use the power of the divine weapon at all, so he could only treat the sword of the night as an ordinary sharp arms.

However, now, Enzo has been promoted to a second-tier wizard.

Even if it is the power of a divine tool, he is qualified to use it. According to the information recorded in ancient books, the Night Sword is the only divine tool of the Evernight Goddess, and it has the ability to enslave the bodies of dead creatures.

"Just use this Cyclops to try the ability of Night Sword."

In the same place, Enzo's eyes shone brightly. In the first battle to be promoted to the second-level wizard, he had already used Justin to test the two newly mastered one-level witchcraft, and now he plans to try the Sword of the Night again. strength.

"First, I need to awaken the power of Night Sword!"

Enzo took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the Cyclops, and the magic power in his body was injected into Night Sword, and the artifact was like a whirlpool, crazily devouring Enzo's energy.

"As expected of an artifact, it really is not a power that mortals can control!"

"If I hadn't been promoted to the second-level wizard, I am afraid that just at this moment, all the magic power in my body would be swallowed by the sword of the night, and I would even fall into death crisis because of it."

Feeling the power of the Night Sword being gradually awakened, Enzo's eyes kept flickering.

"Okay, let's start"

Not far away, the Cyclops was chewing on the ghoul, making a creepy sound. As a creature summoned by Justin through a contract, he was very satisfied with the ghoul as a sacrifice.

Enzo turned into a shadow and rushed towards the Cyclops.

"Get out of the way, idiot!" Behind, Justin's pupils shrank, as if he felt the threat of the Sword of Night, and he immediately reminded the Cyclops loudly, but it didn't have any effect.

The Cyclops, who was enjoying the food, stood there very intently.

"Shadow Wings!"

Shadow wings appeared behind Enzo, and then flew towards the head of the Cyclops. At this moment, the Cyclops finally sensed the danger. Out of the four arms in his body, the two arms behind the shoulders grabbed Enzo at the same time. .

"Hey! Got you"

Two huge rough palms grabbed the figure in mid-air, and the Cyclops mouth drooled and let out a foolish laugh, but then found that the figure caught in the palm had turned into a shadow and dissipated.

brush!
The next moment, Enzo appeared behind the Cyclops.

Holding the Sword of Night in his hand, he silently stabbed at the Cyclops' neck. The extremely sharp Sword of Night pierced the tough skin of the Cyclops with ease.

"Ugh it hurts"

It wasn't until the intense pain came that Cyclops had a ferocious expression on his face. He ignored the ghoul in his mouth, and frantically waved his four arms, trying to grab Enzo behind his spine.

But the Cyclops' movements were extremely clumsy in Enzo's eyes.

He drew out the Sword of Night, jumped nimbly to the top of the Cyclops head, and then stabbed the long sword into the top of the giant's head, smashing its brains into pieces amidst the Cyclops' painful wailing.

"Damn it!!" Behind, Justin's face changed, and his mind was struck by lightning.

Even the Cyclops, known for his physique, would still die immediately after his brain was destroyed, and Justin, who signed a soul contract with him, was unsurprisingly backlashed by the contract.

At the same time, the Sword of Night inserted on top of the giant's head glowed with a gloomy luster.

On the sword of Night Sword, the incantation representing the authority of the Goddess of the Night exudes a unique light, as if the power of the curse is intertwined with the corpse of the Cyclops.

Puchi!

In the next moment, Enzo pulled out the Sword of Night.

The huge body of the Cyclops fell to the ground slowly, with four thick arms hanging down weakly, and the mutilated corpse of the ghoul in its bloody mouth turned into blurred flesh and blood and flowed on the ground.

On the opposite side, Justin's face was as gloomy as water.

On the spot, Enzo raised the Sword of Night in his hand, and communicated with the Sword of Night through spiritual power. After a burst of dim light flashed, the corpse of the Cyclops not far away slowly stood up.

"what!?"

Justin's pupils shrank, and he frowned, "How could this be? Could it be the use of some kind of witchcraft ability? Awakening from death? Or resurrection from a corpse?"

In the wizarding world, there are many kinds of witchcraft that can resurrect dead bodies.

For example, the awakening of death mastered by Enzo during his apprenticeship is a technique that can wake up corpses to fight. This type of technique is unified into necromancy witchcraft.

However, there are certain restrictions on resurrecting corpses through necromancy witchcraft without exception.

For example, the corpse driven by the awakening of death, no matter how it was in life, the combat power after becoming a ghoul is extremely limited, and it needs Enzo's command at all times to carry out simple battles.

But Justin didn't know it.

The corpse of the Cyclops enslaved by Enzo did not use necromantic witchcraft, but relied on the ability of the Night Sword to drive the Cyclops into a puppet of the artifact through effects such as curses.

A puppet enslaved by the Sword of the Night can retain at least [-]% of its fighting power during its lifetime.

What's more, if some creatures with magical abilities, even after becoming artifact puppets, they can still retain a certain amount of magical abilities and part of their fighting consciousness.

"Go, Cyclops!"

Enzo pointed the Sword of Night in his hand and ordered the Cyclops to attack. Although he used the artifact to enslave the Cyclops, he actually didn't pay much attention to it, and only used the Cyclops as cannon fodder.

As he had thought before, using the Night Sword to kill Cyclops was mainly to test the effect of the artifact.

Enzo's real target is Justin!

Bang bang bang!
The Cyclops, who was enslaved by the Sword of the Night, ran with huge legs. When he was not far from Justin, his four thick arms waved at the same time and slapped towards the ground.

"Humph!"

Justin snorted coldly, and lightly waved the wand in his hand. The invisible force was like a silk thread, entangled one of the Cyclops' arms, and then with his thoughts, the huge body of the Cyclops was also thrown out.

boom!
The Cyclops hit the ground, forming a deep pit. Justin was expressionless. The blood at the severed arm had stopped, but his face looked a little pale. In addition to excessive blood loss, there was also the main reason for the excessive consumption of mana.

"You don't really plan to rely on this kind of thing to deal with me?"

Justin glanced at the Cyclops not far away from the corner of his eye, and then asked in a cold voice, as his former contracted creature, Justin knew the Cyclops very well. Although the monster was physically powerful, it had no magical ability .

It is simply impossible to rely on Cyclops to fight against the second-order wizard!

"of course not."

Enzo shrugged, and said in a low voice, "The Cyclops is only a first-order life form. If it can restrain you to a certain extent, it is already at the limit. As for killing it, it is impossible."

"Let me play with you!"

After that, Enzo waved his magic wand again, and the shadow under his feet spread towards the surroundings, forming a field in a moment, almost covering Justin in it.

On the opposite side, Justin frowned slightly, and stepped back quickly.

In the previous battle, Justin already knew that Enzo was a shadow wizard, so it was obviously a very disadvantageous thing to fight with him in the shadow domain.

"The magic power has been consumed almost, it seems that we have to make a quick decision!"

Justin retreated to an area that could not be covered by the shadow field, with a thoughtful expression on his face, then he raised his palm and lightly touched the silver mask on his face, and there was a sound of water flowing behind him.

Not long ago, it just rained a little here, so there is a lot of water on the ground.

Relying on the ability of the magical wizard tool, the two streams of water that Justin created began to intertwine with each other, sweeping forward as if forming a tornado.

"Phantom Crow Technique!"

On the spot, Enzo chanted in a low voice, his body turned into countless illusory crows, flying around, and then, under Justin's surprised gaze, activated the ability of the illusory crows.

In an instant, the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

"Is this an illusion?" Justin's heart shuddered, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, as if he had thought of something, his expression suddenly became extremely dignified.

"Could it be... this is the advanced meditation method Illusory Crow Thousand Spirits?"

As a fallen wizard who was born in [Phantom of Crows], Justin had also learned about the academy's advanced meditation method, and even applied for the opportunity to practice the Thousand Spirits of the Illusory Crow when he was just promoted to a full-time wizard.

However, due to talent limitations, Justin was not qualified to practice advanced meditation techniques, which was one of the reasons why he finally defected from the academy and became a fallen man.

"A kid who has been on the wizarding journey for less than a hundred years is actually qualified to practice advanced meditation?"

The luster in Justin's eyes changed, and when he recalled his experience in the academy, he couldn't help feeling jealous, and the expression on his face gradually became ferocious.

At this moment, the surrounding environment changed in vain.

The forest shrouded in mist appeared in front of Justin's eyes, and he was temporarily confused in his mind. Just as he was about to think, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey, Justin, what are you doing?"

Justin turned his head subconsciously, and a girl with a bright smile stood in front of him prettyly, sticking out her tongue and said: "We are now performing a mission in the forest of mist, if you stay in a daze, be careful not to be caught by monsters in the forest." Take it away, I won't save you."

"Ninina?" Seeing the girl in front of him, Justin's heart tightened.

"Of course it's me, is there anyone else willing to team up with you?" The girl named Nina wrinkled her nose and said displeasedly, "Come on, the longer we stay in the Mist Forest, we may encounter more dangerous."

"Perform the task as soon as possible, I have to go back to the college's cafeteria to have a big meal." While speaking, Nina grabbed Justin's arm and walked towards the forest.
