There was a sound around, a large number of cracks spread on the wall, and dust mixed with stones fell from above.
"This place is going to collapse." Enzo's eyes narrowed.
The aftermath of the battle between the two wizard apprentices had already overwhelmed the space in the tower. At this time, large-scale cracks appeared on the surrounding walls and ceilings, making a crisp crackling sound.
Turning around, Enzo waved his hand and released a spear of shadow.
The black energy bombarded the wall, forming a huge hole. Enzo immediately rushed out and quickly left the tower.
Boom!
A creepy sound sounded behind him. As soon as he stepped out of the entrance of the tower, Enzo felt that the building behind him was crumbling. He quickly moved away from the danger. After a loud noise, the tower collapsed.
The dust and smoke dispersed in all directions, and Enzo covered his mouth and nose.
Ahead, under a tree not far away.
Dias held the knight's sword in one hand and stood there with a tired face. There was a terrifying scar on his chest. There were broken corpses everywhere around him, obviously he had experienced a fierce battle.
"Master, all the corpses have been dealt with." Seeing Enzo's figure, Dias knelt on one knee and said.
"Here! Drink this." Enzo threw a [healing potion] over.
Dias unscrewed the test tube and drank the liquid inside. The potion blended into his blood, bringing a warm feeling. The wound on his chest felt hot and began to heal slowly.
"Let's go, get out of here."
Looking back at the ruined tower, Enzo said in a deep voice.
In the early morning, the bright sunshine shines on the earth.
On the road ahead, a black carriage is driving.
"The foolish soul is tempted by the devil and eventually falls into the endless abyss." In the carriage, Enzo leaned against the wall panel, sighed, and began to speculate on the whole story.
Olandon's life is coming to an end, but he cannot be promoted to an official wizard.
In a desperate moment, he was tempted by the devil. Patrick gave him the wrong [Soul Cultivation Method]. Out of his desire for power, Olandon devoured the life souls of Giethoorn.
The lord of Snowhoof City noticed something, so he asked the Wizard Academy for help. In order to cover up the truth, Olandon had no choice but to kill him and blame everything on Elenf.
As Enzo came to investigate, Olandon had to stop his plan.
He originally planned to use the tungsten energy stone to mislead Enzo, but he didn't expect that Enzo saw through it and used the trick to pretend to leave Snowhoof City.
Olandon did not doubt that he was there, and immediately accelerated his plan. Through the power given by the devil, he devoured the life souls of the entire Snowhoof City, and decided to be promoted to an official wizard on the tower.
Then, Enzo, who had returned, appeared again, interrupting Olandon's impossible plan.
Devouring the soul does not enable him to be promoted to an official wizard. Everything is a trick of the devil. Misled by the wrong [Soul Cultivation Method], Olandon lost his soul and eventually fell into the abyss and became Patrick's collection!
"You really can't believe the devil's words!" Enzo sighed, his eyes serious.
The mission has ended, and all the truth investigations have come to light. Everything that happened in Giethoorn and Snowhoof City was caused by Olandon's greed, and the other party finally paid the price.
Enzo writes a mission report and plans to return to the academy immediately.
More than ten days later, the carriage came to a forest.
Diaz lit the phantom lamp, and then drove the carriage into the misty forest. The horror in the darkness was still howling, but he did not dare to get close because of the light.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the rock wall.
"Finally back." Enzo stepped out of the carriage and pointed the identity medal forward. After a ray of light shot out, the rock wall automatically opened a passage.
I have been out on a mission for two months, but nothing has changed in the academy.
Driving the carriage all the way, Enzo arrived at the mission. After getting off the carriage, he walked in alone. The apprentices around him were in a hurry, and he went straight to the place where the mission was handed over.
"Mission certificate." A gray-robed apprentice spoke from the front.
Enzo took out the mission voucher and handed in the investigation report he wrote.
The gray-robed apprentice first checked the mission voucher, and after confirming its authenticity, he looked at the investigation report handed over by Enzo. After half a minute, he frowned slightly.
"Is the devil involved?" The gray-robed apprentice murmured, "Wait here for a while."
After that, the gray-robed apprentice took the investigation report and walked towards the room inside.
After a while, a middle-aged man in white robe came out.
"Is this an investigation report written by you?" The middle-aged man in white robe shook the parchment in his hand and asked in a serious tone: "Are the deaths near Snow Hoof City in the Silver Deer Kingdom related to the Abyss Devil?"
"Yes, sir." Enzo said respectfully. From the white-robed middle-aged man in front of him, he felt the aura of a formal wizard.
"Besides this investigation report, is there any proof?" the middle-aged man in white robe asked.
Enzo nodded slightly, took out a piece of human skin paper and a broken mirror from his body, and said, "These are the things found on Olandon's body. They seem to be the medium through which he communicates with the devil."
The middle-aged man in white robe took the two things, looked at them for a while, and said in a deep voice, "It is indeed the breath of the abyss!"
"Since this matter involves the devil, the academy will increase the reward for this mission as appropriate." The middle-aged man in white robe raised his head, pondered for a moment and said, "You go back first and wait for notification from the academy."
Enzo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, sir."
Anything related to the abyss will be magnified infinitely, not to mention that the beginning and end of this incident was a tragedy caused by a wizard apprentice being tempted by the devil. Naturally, the academy must attach great importance to it.
After leaving the mission, Enzo returned to his residence.
After running around in the carriage for more than ten days, his body was smelly of sweat. After taking a refreshing shower in the bathroom, Enzo changed into clean clothes.
"In two months, my patent application should be completed." Enzo walked out of the room energetically and walked towards Byron's residence.
Walking on the path paved with black stone slabs, Enzo soon arrived at Villa No. 172.
"Where's Senior Byron?" Entering the courtyard, Enzo saw the maid Edith.
"The master is meditating in the training room." Edith brought Enzo to the hall, served him some fruits, and said respectfully, "The master has told me before that if you come, please wait here for a while."
Enzo nodded slightly and sat down on the sofa in the hall.
Half an hour later, the door to the innermost room in the courtyard opened, and Byron, wearing a white robe, walked out.
