Chapter 187 Void Worm
The astral plane is a forbidden zone for life and an ocean of truth. Its natives are uniformly called star beasts by the magic world.

The starry sky beasts have all kinds of strange appearances and diverse abilities. They are almost magnified versions of magical life forms, but there is still no consensus on why they exist and who created them.

Wayne had seen a giant star beast in the Geocentric Church before. Its name was the Blue Ridge Parasite. It was huge in size, had amazing reproductive capacity, and could provide an unlimited supply of eggs.

The weakness is fear of fire.

Today, I saw a giant beast in the sky again and couldn’t help but sigh.

It’s so fucking big!
Because of the distance, Wayne couldn't see the true appearance of the giant beast. From the outline, it was a long lump, like an annelid, such as an earthworm or a sandworm without the tentacles.

An earthworm that had been magnified countless times broke through the space barrier, most of its body crawled out, and moved towards his location at high speed.

The wriggling worm was huge and perfectly satisfied Wayne's worm phobia and gigantophobia. He shuddered immediately, stuffed the shadow nightmare into his body, turned around and ran away.

"Where can you run to?"

Orb turned his back to the star beast, noticing the sudden shrinking of its large eyeballs in fear, and laughed out loud.

Wayne may be special and possess abilities that even legendary wizards cannot defeat, but these abilities all come from his bloodline. In essence, he is just a silver wizard.

The proto-body bloodline imitated the ancient gods and opened up a new path of evolution. Orb was almost dying of jealousy. Wayne was not worthy of such an excellent bloodline and it should be his.

Thinking of this, I burst into laughter again.

He was not in a hurry to catch up with Wayne. He happily watched the other party looking for a way out. With a condescending attitude, he saw the struggle, the helplessness, the loss of fighting spirit and the desire for life.

As it should be!

This is the despair that a silver mage should feel when facing a legendary mage.

The previous part doesn't count. He was careless and acted rashly without finding out the details of the original body's bloodline, which led to him being tricked by the power of the ancient gods and the Death Knight.

Now the advantage is in his hands, it's a sure thing!
"Wayne, you have mastered so many powerful abilities, but you still perform so poorly..."

Orb was determined to win, victory was just around the corner, and he felt that his life had reached its peak.

Suddenly, he sensed something ominous. The longbow in his hand flickered on and off, with the frequency increasing, warning that there was danger around him.

"Danger?!"

Orb's eyes widened, and he emitted perception but didn't notice anything.

He was very rational and not as arrogant as Marshall. He was extremely cautious every time he entered the astral world. Although he was envious, he still rejected the omnipresent knowledge.

The question is, where is the danger?
This question did not bother Orb for too long, as he turned around and saw the source of danger.

It was a giant star beast of immeasurable size, shaped like a maggot, with a hideous spiral mouthpart expanded and clusters of fangs extending from the mouth to the esophagus.

"Void Worm!"

Orb was horrified and his face turned pale with fear. He subconsciously wanted to open the Door of Truth and run away.

Failed!
The magic world has explored the astral realm countless times, with the main force being legendary wizards and occasionally fearless golden wizards, who all fought bravely in search of the truth.

These mages paved the way with their blood and summed up valuable experience for those who came after them.

Among them is an illustration of the giant beasts in the starry sky.

According to the illustrations, the Void Worm is a giant star beast at the top of the food chain. It is huge in size and has amazing abilities. It has the terrifying power to solidify space and gnaw through space tunnels to create wormholes.

Once you are targeted by this kind of guy, the space will be solidified and there will be nowhere to escape, so there is basically no hope.

Of course, it's not that there is no way out.

Since the illustrated book describes the detailed information of the void worm, it means that someone escaped from the worm's mouth and was just a narrow escape, which means there is still hope.

The void worm is very greedy. By sacrificing a teammate, or rather, running faster than your teammate, you can escape from the worm's solidified space.

Orb was still in shock, and remembered the method of saving his life in the illustrated book. He waved his hand, rolled up a piece of darkness, and summoned all the obelisks peacefully.

The sacrificial rations were not the obelisk, but the boys and girls adopted by Doreen.

At this time, Orb didn't care about many things, and didn't bother to care about the obelisk. He threw a pile of blood food to the void worm and rushed towards Wayne.

As he ran, he cursed the unreliable illustrated guide in his mind.

According to the experience summarized by our predecessors, although there are many giant beasts in the starry sky, the star realm is boundless. As long as you don’t stay for a long time, the possibility of encountering a giant beast in the starry sky is extremely low.

Void worms are indigenous creatures with no natural enemies and their numbers are extremely small, so the possibility of encountering them is even lower.

Orb was furious. He had just arrived at the star realm, hadn't even stood firmly on his feet, and hadn't even said a few words, but how come he encountered the void worms that actively hunted him?
What bad luck!

The void worm moved at an incredibly fast speed, smashing the square platform and swallowing dozens of unconscious Moonlight Church members in one gulp. It squirmed a few times in its mouth and spit out the unchewed obelisk.

A few snacks could not satisfy its desire, so it chased in the direction of Wayne. The space was solidified and the hunting net was spread out. It was determined to try something new this time.

It has been squatting Wayne for a long time!
The last time I chased Wayne and nibbled him was last time, and I was just one step away from tasting the sweetness. This time, I will not miss it no matter what.

So, Wayne ran in front, Orb chased behind, and finally the Void Worm chased him.

Funny enough, Wayne didn't realize that he had been marked by the Void Worm. He just thought that the giant beast was chasing the legendary wizard, and he cursed Orb's entire family as he ran.

Don't come over here!

In Wayne's opinion, Orb wanted to take someone with him before he died. If he couldn't live himself, he wouldn't let others live either.

Orb had no idea and really thought he was a legendary wizard. He smelled so good that he attracted void worms to eat his body and ran away so quickly.

He was gambling, betting that he could outrun Wayne.

At this time, Orb no longer cared about Wayne's body. His body was more important, and staying alive was more important than anything else.

As for his unscrupulous act of treason, it is not a big problem. Planck has already taken the blame. As long as all the witnesses are killed, he can still be the Deputy Minister of Magic who is loyal to the Queen.

There were not many witnesses, only four: Wayne, Mona, Philomena, and Chris.

At the front, Wayne's speed suddenly increased.

He turned his limbs into tentacles, had a big eyeball on top, carried a magical girl on his back, and ran like the wind, a true freak.

Maybe because of the style of painting, the macrocosm should be paired with a tentacle monster. In this form, Wayne's speed is faster than flying.

This scared Orb, and he tried his best, fearing that Wayne would fall behind.

Behind, the void worms roared and also chased after them.

Wayne did not run around randomly. He held Orb like he was flying a kite and ran a long distance in a circle. When he passed Mona, a tentacle wrapped around him and pulled him into the car.

The stigmata ensured that Mona was not crazy, but her condition was not ideal. Her eyes were blank, and she responded softly to the whispers in her ears, feeling very good about herself.

She gradually understood everything!
The tentacles rolled over, and Mona was close to Chris, and their heads came together and bumped into each other.

As Mona looked closely into Wayne's big eyes, the whispers in his ears faded a lot. Her mind became tired and numb, and her trembling eyelids slowly closed.

After walking around for a long time, Wayne finally found Philomena. The golden wizard opened the life barrier and walked with difficulty in the void.

The Golden Wizard has the right to refuse knowledge and can briefly enter the Gate of Truth. Philomena couldn't hold on for long. Seeing Wayne's tentacles rolling over, she gave a tired smile to the big eyes.

Three heads put together.

The tentacle monster tied up the magical girl, the mature woman, and the aunt and ran all the way. The destination was unknown. After saving people, they didn't know where to go next.

Things are different now. The last time the Door of Truth had an exit, and you can leave once you find your target.

This time it was Orb who personally took charge of blocking the gate, leaving Wayne no chance to escape.

"I know a way to leave..."

Philomena said slowly, "Give me some time. I can use the Moon Phase Card to open the Door of Truth, and we can leave."

"Then why don't you do it now!"

On the tentacle, a mouth opened.

"It's not that easy..."

Philomena leaned close to the big eyeball and spoke intermittently, tormentedly: "My mind is polluted by the starry sky. It will take some time to open the door of truth. Moreover... the one chasing us is the void worm. It solidifies the space. I can only open the door of truth after escaping its hunting range."

So troublesome?

"Damn Orb, he opened the Door of Truth without any reason. Now he is being targeted by a monster."

Wayne cursed angrily. The Book of Greed was happy, but he was being chased with nowhere to escape. He would rather not have this opportunity.

The astral space is too dangerous. He will be a hammer if he comes in next time!

Behind, Orb couldn't catch up with Wayne and was about to be caught up by the Void Worm. He drew his bow and arrow, and cast a magical spell.

The bright moonlight beam was covered with a layer of gray mist under the shining starry sky. It was neither peaceful nor holy, but decadent and withered, filled with death and corruption. The pale shadow of the moon goddess appeared, and she pushed her hands away. The halo rhythmically erected an indestructible barrier.

Orb shot two more arrows, and the divine power of the goddesses of the sun and nature was projected. The three rays of light merged together, and a life barrier was spread out, blocking the way of the void worm.

This is his strongest defense!
At this time, Wayne rushed to the vicinity of the broken platform.

Philomena was in a daze when she realized that she had left the solidified space. She suppressed her tired mind, summoned four stone tablet cards, cycled the moon phases, and forced open the door of truth.

A loud bang!
The void worm gnawed at the life barrier, and when it sensed that its prey was about to escape, it roared and sped up its movement, catching up with Orb in just a few breaths.

It did not let go of the piece of fat meat at its mouth. Although it was not a main meal, it was suitable as an appetizer.

Storm inhalation!

Orb fell into a whirlpool of wind and rain and fell into the mouth of a void worm. His torn robes rustled and his flesh and blood were peeled off his bones by the powerful suction force. He screamed in pain.

In the face of life and death danger, he didn't have time to think too much, and threw the longbow in his hand into the worm's bottomless esophagus with a desperate effort.

The longbow is of extraordinary quality and is a rare magic prop. If Wayne takes a closer look at it, he will find that this longbow is a treasure that he lost many years ago.

Buzz buzz————

A mixture of dark red, pale white, and tragic green, the three colors of flame converge, symbolizing the cycle of the power of destruction and creation. The strange flames eventually merged into a gray color, raising a pair of dragon wings that covered the sky and the sun, transforming into a giant dragon that rampaged through the esophagus of the void worm.

The gray dragon had an astonishing temperature and had the terrifying destructive power to distort space.

The Void Worm had thick skin and flesh, and although it was not roasted by the flames, it felt like it had swallowed a mouthful of charcoal. It rolled on the ground in pain, and dark green juice continued to secrete from its mouth.

It endured the pain and continued to inhale violently, swallowing all of Orb's bones, flesh and blood into its stomach.

The powerful attraction seemed to have a black hole hidden inside; even the thoughts of the legendary wizard could not escape. As the flames were extinguished by the green juice, they were swallowed by the void worm along with the longbow fragments.

After tasting a piece of pastry with a shell, the Void Worm was deeply dissatisfied. It tasted delicious, but it was too prickly.

On the other side, the coveted meal of the Void Worm was busy squeezing into the Gate of Truth.

Philomena worked hard to open a small path, but Wayne was not very satisfied. He patted his butt, pointed at the obelisk and asked to take it away with him.

It is impossible to take it away, even if Philomena works herself to death she cannot do it.

She was dizzy and just did whatever she was told. Moreover, the one who made the request was her boyfriend, so she didn't care whether she could bear it or not and just did as he asked.

As the moon phases alternated, Philomena's mind was overloaded, her magic power was consumed excessively, and she passed out due to bleeding from her mouth and nose.

The space where the Gate of Truth was located was out of control, and the obelisk fell into a black crack and disappeared. Wayne was sharp-eyed and found that the place where it fell was a blue sea.

There was no time to pick them up, so he rushed into the Gate of Truth carrying the three trophies.

The dark passage closed, leaving only the Void Worms, which were furious and spewed dark green juice to mark the feeding place.

Keep squatting!
If you can squat once, you can squat a second time. If you can afford it, you will definitely have a big meal next time!
----

Full moon over the Cathedral.

Orb died, the dark realm disappeared, and the projected ruined ancient city disappeared.

The cathedral was deserted. The light of the full moon shone in through the gorgeous stained windows, and the shadow of the statue of the moon goddess was clearly outlined.

Big Eyes put the three beauties down and immediately teleported Shadow Nightmare away, turning his tentacles back into hands and feet, and guarding against the last enemy.

Thousand-eyed demon!
Orb did not drag the Thousand Eyes Demon's mind into the astral plane. The latter was still alive, lurking in a corner nearby.

The result was not very good. Wayne posed for five minutes but never saw the Thousand-Eyed Demon.

"He escaped again?"

Wayne felt unhappy. It happened again and again. The devil's vitality was too tenacious.

After making sure that there were no demons lurking around, Wayne ended his fusion with the Book of Greed and tore off Philomena's robe.

Hiss!

He tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his waist, barely blocking the murder weapon.

With a crack, the space shattered, and Renata carried Gunther out of the space crack.

Seeing Wayne, Renata tilted her head. According to Gunther, this was her colleague, but it was a pity that he had no memory, otherwise they could have communicated with each other.

"Mr. Wayne, are you okay?" Gunther asked.

"Can you please give me some depth in your dialogue? Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

Wayne snorted. He recognized Renata. She caused him a lot of trouble last time. If he wasn't lucky and had many trump cards, he would have been swallowed by the gate of hell.

"The traitor in the Ministry of Magic is Deputy Minister Aub Windsor. He opened the Door of Truth and was eaten by the Void Worm..."

Wayne briefly recounted what happened and shook his head, saying, "This is what bad guys do. They have an absolute advantage, but they still want to get themselves killed. No one can stop them."

The more Wayne thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. Orb opened the door of truth and called on the star beasts to have a feast, but ended up being torn to pieces.

Behind the ridiculousness, it also shows the horror of the astral world, which we must learn from.

Gunther doesn't think so. The fact that Orb died at the hands of the void worm is just Wayne's one-sided statement and is not worth believing.

The truth is that an angel killed him!

That's right, that's it.

Gunther was a smart man. Seeing that Wayne was unwilling to admit it and had found a reason, he simply did not point it out and asked in confusion: "Mr. Wayne, did you kill the Thousand Eyes Demon?"

"No, I thought he was killed by you." Wayne looked at Renata.

Renata shook her head. Gunther said, "The Thousand Eyes Demon is dead. His mind was completely wiped out. It wasn't us who did it..."

Are there any experts?

"Are you sure that the devil is dead and not running away?" Wayne asked in surprise.

Gunther glanced at Renata and said firmly, "I am sure. We were a step too late. There is nothing left of the Thousand Eyes Demon. I thought you did it yourself."

"No."

Wayne was silent for a moment, unaware of the oriole behind him. He suspected that the Thousand Eyes Demon died at the hands of another legendary wizard from the Ministry of Magic.

He analyzed the motive of the legendary wizard and after much thought, he decided that killing him to silence him was the most reasonable option.

Aub has accomplices!

This accomplice participated in Orb's plan throughout the whole process and had met the Thousand Eyes Demon. Seeing that Orb was losing all the game, he decisively killed the Thousand Eyes Demon and wiped out all traces of his existence.

"That's not right. He hasn't even entered the astral plane, nor is he in the life force field. Why do you think Orb is doomed to fail..."

Wayne murmured to himself that the grievances and entanglements in the Ministry of Magic were too complicated. Every person in the Ministry was a traitor, a political enemy, and a stabber. It was impossible to determine whether they were in the same party or not.

So, who is it?

Wayne couldn't figure it out, so he decided to leave the problem to Auston, who might know the secret.

……

Ten minutes later, Yvette, the Deputy Minister of Magic, arrived late. Seeing the devastated Moonlight Church stronghold, a smile appeared on her face.

She put on a worried face, walked quickly to Wayne and asked what had happened.

Wayne told Yvette about the process of the deleted version, and she was stunned: "Ob, how could it be him? Shouldn't it be Gangplank?"

"Which Planck, the director of the Red Leaf Forest Asylum?" Wayne was also shocked.

I'm not familiar with it. Could you elaborate on it?

It would be better if he died, so that no one would steal his ancient silver coins.

Yvette asked again and again and confirmed that Orb had died in the astral plane and became a meal for the void worms. Then she thanked Gunther and hurriedly left to return to the Ministry of Magic.

We have to go back quickly, otherwise Planck will be beaten to death.

Before leaving, she whispered to Wayne: "The high priestess is in a coma. Now is your best chance to show your abilities. Remember, you represent the Ministry of Magic. You must make her feel the warmth of her family."

After saying that, he nodded vigorously and patted Wayne's shoulder lightly.

For a moment, Wayne was overwhelmed with emotions.

He laughed at the Pope's stupidity and the high priest's lack of wisdom, for only attacking people in three ways. Unexpectedly, after a sudden turn of events, the Ministry of Magic was also in a mess.

Mona is actually himself!
