Journey to the Wizarding World

Chapter 378 The Puppet of the Night

Justin, who was grabbed by the girl's arm, subconsciously wanted to shake her off.

However, at the moment of resistance, his body froze unexpectedly, and a trace of unnaturalness appeared on Justin's face, and he finally followed Nina's pace.

"Who am I? Where is this? What am I doing?" Three questions came to Justin's mind.

Before he could think in a hurry, there was a strange cry in the misty forest. On the branch of a thick tree not far away, a red-eyed crow was combing its feathers, and it made a strange call from time to time.

"Red-eyed crow, it seems that our luck is really good!"

After discovering the objective of the mission, the girl named Nina's eyes lit up, she let go of Justin's hand, and said proudly, "I'll let you see my newly mastered witchcraft!"

"Arcane Missile!"

Nina chanted a spell softly, and the thin light element particles in the air condensed into a mass of energy, and then turned into arcane missiles and shot at the red-eyed crow on the branch, knocking it down to the ground.

"How's it going, isn't it great?" Nina raised her head with a smug look on her face.

In the same place, Justin stood there with a dazed expression on his face, but the light in his eyes flickered slightly. He frantically recalled certain memories in his mind, and finally his expression returned to calm.

"This is the Misty Forest, the domain of the Crows Phantom Academy."

"When I was an apprentice, due to my poor talent, the apprentices of the same class were unwilling to team up with me to perform tasks. Apart from Nina, her existence was also the only light in my life."

"But unfortunately, in order to be promoted to a full-time wizard, Nina has already been killed by me."

The expression on Justin's face was completely cold. As the thinking in his mind returned to normal, the surrounding misty forest began to dissolve like an oil painting. Nina, who was originally a pretty girl, slowly turned around.

"I used to love you so much, but you killed me with your own hands in order to become a wizard!"

Nina turned around, a gloomy look appeared on her pretty face, her eyes were icy cold, two lines of blood and tears flowed slowly, and a black dagger on her chest was inserted into her heart.

Justin's face was calm, but he couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart.

That dagger was a gift from Nina after she was promoted to a third-level apprentice, but Justin used this dagger to stab into his lover's heart and seized all her strength, thus promoting him to be an official wizard.

"Everything is just an illusion, and I will never be affected by it!"

The expression on Justin's face was cold, and he forced himself to calm down, but the memories kept reappearing in his mind, and those things that Justin thought he had forgotten turned into steel needles and pierced into his heart.

"Why did you kill me? Is it really important to you to be promoted to an official wizard?"

With blood and tears streaming down Nina's eyes, she questioned sternly, and the surrounding scenes kept changing. Justin seemed to be in a dream, experiencing everything unavoidably.

"Illusion! It's all just an illusion!"

Faced with the questioning of the person he once loved deeply, Justin's chest heaved and heaved, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly. As Nina with bloody eyes came slowly, he finally let out a low growl.

"Damn illusion, get out of here!"

Justin roared and swung his wand violently. A huge dark claw suddenly grabbed Nina and tore her to pieces.

However, the next moment.

In the melting illusion around them, Nina appeared one after another, with tears in their eyes and identical daggers stuck in their chests. They walked towards Justin slowly and questioned him.

"why why why!"

Under the pressure of Nina in the illusion, Justin's face gradually became ferocious, his broken arm and shoulder trembled slightly, and the blood that had stopped remained again.

"Go away!!"

Under the oppression of the illusion, Justin roared furiously, waving the wand in his hand like a crossed sword, and the black magic turned into sharp claws to tear apart the phantoms of Nina around him.

But all this is of no avail.

The illusion created by Thousand Crows Meditation has dug out the deepest memory in Justin's heart. As long as Justin still remembers everything that happened, Nina who was killed by him will continue to appear.

"No! It can't go on like this!"

In vain, Justin stopped his movements. His face was dripping with cold sweat, but his eyes flashed with a calm gleam, and he said to himself, "Everything that happens in the illusion will not represent reality."

"I have to find a way to release the illusion to break the current situation!"

Justin, as a second-tier wizard, is extremely strong and tenacious in both willpower and spirit. Even the illusion created by the magic crows cannot completely sink him, so when he calmed down, he quickly thought of a way to break the illusion .

"Black pupil stares!"

On the spot, Justin slowly closed his eyes and let Nina around him walk towards him. When he opened his eyes again, there was a black light in his eyes, like two deep whirlpools.

Second-ring witchcraft, black pupil staring!
This witchcraft is Justin's strongest hole card. After he was promoted to the second-level wizard in the night labyrinth, it took him a full 30 years to fully master this second-level witchcraft.

After the black pupil's gaze was activated, the illusion around him began to fade away.

"It's really useful!" Justin's eyes flashed. The second-ring witchcraft black pupil gaze is not a strong attack skill, but it has the attribute of breaking falsehood and mental attack, which can barely break the illusion created by Enzo.

After escaping from the illusion, Justin's face was extremely pale.

Although what happened just now took less than 10 minutes, for Justin, it was far more exhausting than going through a fierce battle. After the deepest secret in his heart was unearthed, he felt naked.

"Fortunately, the illusion has been lifted"

Justin breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head, but his pupils shrank suddenly. The Cyclops in front of him was walking quickly, but Enzo could not be seen.

"not good!"

Justin thought inwardly that it was bad, and a chill ran from his back to the top of his head. He was about to react, but it was too late. The moment before the Cyclops approached and waved his palm, he gritted his teeth and jumped back.

Barely dodged the Cyclops' attack, but the throbbing in Justin's heart still didn't disappear.

brush!
The long sword with a gloomy luster slashed fiercely in a strange direction. Justin raised his wand decisively to block it, but under the attack of the sharp blade, the wand of the top-level magic item in his hand broke in an instant.

"Uh"

A look of pain appeared on Justin's face, and a scar on his arm was cut by the Sword of Night, which was not fatal, but a strange force attacked like a maggot attached to the bone.

"How could this be?" Justin's expression changed.

At the same time, the Cyclops had struck again, its huge body shrouded below like a shadow, and its four thick palms gathered into fists and smashed down hard.

"Shield of Darkness!" Justin quickly launched the witchcraft.

The dark elements condensed into a shield, covering Justin's whole body, but under the full-strength hammering of the solitary giant, the dark shield shattered, turning into elemental particles and dissipating in the air.

"cough!!"

Justin vomited blood and fell to the ground. As a second-tier wizard, Justin was not afraid of Cyclops under normal circumstances. He will break through the defense under the attack of the Cyclops.

"Goodbye, Your Excellency Justin!"

The sudden voice sounded in vain, and Enzo's figure appeared not far away. Facing the seriously injured Justin, he did not choose to continue attacking, but focused on looking at the Night Sword in his hand, resonating with the power of the artifact.

"This breath."

Justin's face changed, and from the wound on his arm caused by the Sword of Night, a curse like a tadpole crawled out, and then quickly spread up and down his body, forming traces like a curse.

"Goddess of the Night!"

"Could it be the Sword of the Night that symbolizes the authority of the Evernight Goddess?"

"By the way, that kid also stepped into the night labyrinth, and even has an inexplicable relationship with the goddess of the night. It is not surprising that the artifact appeared in his hands."

The skin of his whole body was covered with spells, and the expression on Justin's face changed.

As a second-level wizard promoted in the night maze, Justin was very familiar with the breath of the goddess of the night, so when the power of the sword of night spread in his body, he immediately understood something.

"The power of an artifact cannot be resisted by mortals."

"Could it be that I'm going to die here today? I really don't want to be reconciled! I was promoted to the second-tier wizard with great difficulty. If it wasn't for Freeman's wrong information, I would definitely be able to go further!"

"It's over, it's over."

"Oh! The plan of my life ended up like this in the end. Maybe I shouldn't have attacked Nina in the first place. A life with the person I love may not be good enough."

As the power of the Night Sword completely devoured the body, the luster in Justin's eyes became increasingly dim.

In the end, the second-tier wizard lost all life characteristics, and his icy corpse was covered with black spells. Enzo stepped forward and lightly beat the magic stick of soul bone in his hand.

At the top of the Soul Bone Demonic Wand, the Soul-Eating Crystal shines brightly!

After devouring the souls of the second-level wizards, the Soul Bone Wand emitted black light from its entire body. The powerful energy even made the wand a little unbearable, and it took a while for it to calm down.

"The soul of a second-tier wizard is worth countless ordinary souls!"

Enzo looked at the wand of the bone of soul, the light in his eyes flickered slightly, the soul-eating crystal endowed the wand with the ability to devour souls, and at the same time gave it the opportunity to evolve towards a higher level.

During the 40 years of fighting in the forest world, Enzo even killed more than [-] lives.

However, the quality of foreign souls is extremely flawed, and no matter how many there are, it is difficult to transform the wand. Therefore, even after 40 years of fighting in the forest world, the soul bone magic wand is still at the level of high-level magic items.

However, now that it has devoured Justin's soul, it finally has a chance to transform!

Enzo put away the magic stick of the soul bone. After he was promoted to the second-level wizard, the magic power of high-level magical items was already difficult to bear, but after the magic stick of the soul bone was transformed, this problem could be solved.

Immediately afterwards, Enzo turned his gaze to the ground.

Justin's corpse lay quietly on the ground, his skin covered with spells. Enzo raised the Night Sword in his hand. After resonating with the artifact, Justin's corpse slowly stood up.

"Justin, who was enslaved by the artifact, will become my other trump card!"

The corners of Enzo's lips rose slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. After being promoted to the second-level wizard, Enzo used the power of the Night Sword to convert the enemy into his own puppets without too many restrictions.

"Chip, scan!" Enzo ordered in his heart.

"Target: Justin (puppet) / Level: Tier [-] Wizard / Skills: Black Pupil Gaze, Twisted Barrier, Dark Claw."

As the chip turned on the scanning function, a familiar data panel appeared in front of Enzo's eyes. After Justin became the puppet of Sword of the Night, he still retained the level of a second-level wizard, but there were only three spell abilities left.

The most important of these is the gaze of the black pupil, followed by the twisted barrier and the claws of darkness!

Enzo nodded in satisfaction. As a Tier [-] puppet, Justin will become another trump card for him. Summoning it at a critical moment is equivalent to fighting with two Tier [-] wizards.

Everything is finally over, and Enzo is about to leave the forest to have a round with Fiana and the others.

However, at this moment.

A chip alarm suddenly came from his mind, which made Enzo suddenly vigilant. With the shaking of the nearby forest, a huge black python came out in vain, and bit down with a huge mouth at a very fast speed.

In an instant, Enzo seemed to be shrouded in a shadow, and a strong sense of crisis gushed out from the bottom of his heart.

He wanted to use the technique of shadow stealth, but his body seemed to be locked, and he couldn't move at all. Seeing that he was biting down fiercely with his bloody mouth, the Cyclops slammed into him not far away.

boom!
Even with a five-meter-high body, the Cyclops looked a bit short compared to the black python. The violent impact could only stop the black python slightly, but this time was enough for Enzo to get out of the way.

"Third-order life form! Definitely a third-order life form!"

Enzo dodged aside quickly, with a serious expression on his face, looking at the black python that appeared in the forest, even without using the chip's scanning function, he could still feel the breath of the third-order life form on the giant python.

Ow!

The black python's target was interrupted, and it let out a roar immediately, then swung its body violently, entangled the Cyclops, and then exerted force suddenly, crushing the bones of the Cyclops' whole body.

boom!
The Cyclops, whose bones were shattered all over, fell limply on the ground. The corpse that was enslaved by the power of the Sword of Night completely lost the ability to move at this moment.

Enzo took a deep breath, his eyes were extremely serious.

The black giant python that suddenly appeared has the level of a third-order life body. This kind of creature must have wisdom, so it will never attack for no reason, and it obviously has a certain purpose.

The next moment, the black python began to change.

The huge figure entrenched on the ground slowly transformed into the form of the black-robed old man. The unique pair of vertical pupils made people feel shuddering, but Enzo recognized him in an instant.
