Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 63 No one will feel sad for your death

"boom!"

The huge energy ball exploded with a loud bang, creating a circle of huge white waves visible to the naked eye, and several nearby skeletons were blown away like straw.

Ronan put down his staff and looked straight ahead.

Before his eyes, a long straight road that was completely cleared appeared.

At the end of the long road, there was a battle group with a huge gap opened up, and two faces filled with shock and confusion in the center of the battle group.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave!"

Ronan shouted, and Reni and the hook-nosed wizard, who were stunned by the power of Ronan's energy missile, suddenly woke up and ran towards him.

With Ronan's current strength as a ninth-level apprentice, even without activating the magic domain, the power of the [Energy Missile] thrown out in normal state is still terrifying, enough to kill a group of zero-level advanced spells in seconds.

"Huchi - Huchi -"

Rennie and the other man ran to Ronan at full speed. The hook-nosed wizard was out of breath, and the shock on his face was still there. His eyes were fixed on the staff in Ronan's hand.

"A first-level magical tool?!"

Ronan didn't bother to pay attention to him and just ran away.

The hook-nosed wizard was a little embarrassed for being ignored, but at this time, the skeleton warriors gathered together and chased them relentlessly, so he couldn't say anything.

After all, he was an unmanned undead servant. Even though his strength was comparable to that of a mid-level apprentice, his reaction was slow and his movements were not very agile. In the end, the three of them gradually left him behind.

Just as the three were about to run out of the cemetery, a fork in the road appeared in the distance.

The road ahead was just like the one they had walked before, except that there was more white fog on the road, making it difficult to see clearly what was ahead.

The other path looked bright red at first glance, and before you got close, you could smell a strong smell of blood.

Without any hesitation, the hook-nosed wizard who was in charge of "leading the team" spoke in a firm tone: "This way!"

Then, without caring whether Ronan and the others agreed or not, he rushed towards the road ahead alone.

Ronan frowned, said nothing, and followed with Rennie.

Not long after the three of them stepped onto the white fog path, the fog began to surge violently, as if something in it was disturbed, but no other movement occurred.

Ronan always felt that something was wrong. He slowed down his pace, squinted his eyes and tried to look forward. Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be a dark shadow under the surging white fog, spreading towards them rapidly.

The experience of the battle on the night of the town's chaos suddenly flooded into Ronan's mind.
Ronan stopped suddenly and shouted, "Don't go forward, it's dangerous!"

Rennie, who was following him closely, stopped almost immediately after he stopped.

The hook-nosed wizard who was leading the group rushed forward for a while as if he didn't hear anything, and then slowly stopped.

And it was this short extra distance that he ran deliberately as if to maintain the face of the "leader" that caused him to almost run straight into the large shadow that was spreading under his feet.

"Shh-"

Ronan seemed to hear the sound of an extremely sharp object cutting through the air.

The last time he faced this spell was late at night, and he was unable to see the full extent of the spell.

Now I can finally see clearly——

The dense shadows gave rise to two huge, semi-illusory sickles, as if they were held by invisible hands.
Horizontal slash! Vertical slash!
The energy shield on the hook-nosed wizard, who was only about seven or eight meters away from him, was quietly shattered like a fragile eggshell under the slashing of two black sickles. Immediately afterwards, the hook-nosed wizard inside the shield opened his mouth slightly, and his whole body was silently and smoothly split into four parts in a cross shape.
Blood and internal organs gushed out.

"vomit"

The huge visual impact coupled with the fear of unknown danger made the young wizard Rennie vomit on the spot.

Ronan quickly said "go", then turned around without hesitation, came to the fork in the road, gritted his teeth and rushed in.

"How do you know so much about the Black Robe's methods?!"

Reni suppressed his nausea and crawled after Ronan, asking him with a pale face.

Ronan was silent for a moment before replying, "I've killed a few... so I know a little bit."

"I've killed a few."

Rennie's expression froze, with shock and disbelief flashing across his face, but when he thought of the energy missile that Ronan had just used to rescue them, he suddenly felt that it was natural.

He followed Ronan closely, not daring to say another word.

Walking on the path that seemed to be paved with countless internal organs, every step of the deerskin boots would squeeze out an unknown liquid that looked like corpse water mixed with blood.

Ronan's five senses were fully activated, and he took one step forward with extreme caution.

At this point, he was already certain that what the wizard Faol said on the way here was all nonsense.

What's so easy? All you need to do is set some fires and cause some damage.
If they had just encountered a series of dangers, if it had been an ordinary wandering wizard, he would have died several times over.

"No wonder he is so close to Linus. It turns out they are the same kind of people, cold and vicious."

The wizard Fao probably didn't care about the lives of the 25 wandering gray robes at all. His kind words of consolation when he came here were just to trick them into entering the secret realm obediently. After that, everyone's life or death was none of his business.

Ronan looked gloomy, and kept thinking about his next plan.

He didn't know whether to go deeper. If he went back now, he would still have to go through the white fog and the cemetery full of skeleton warriors. He should have no problem breaking through these obstacles by himself, but there was also Reni beside him.
As they were thinking, Ronan and the other man had unknowingly followed the blood trail and arrived at a muddy and pungent river.

The path leads to the other side of the river. The water on both sides of the path is filled with strange fish with rotten bodies and human organs.

These strange fish gathered at the feet of Ronan and the other man, grunting as if they were gnawing on something, making constant chewing sounds and spitting out black bubbles.

Walking among countless strange fishes and being watched closely, even Ronan felt his scalp tingling.

But fortunately, the journey was smooth. The bloody trail that looked extremely dangerous turned out to be the truly safe path.

It was not until they reached the other side that Ronan remembered the purpose of this mission.

Looking at the muddy river filled with strange fish, Ronan was not sure whether this was a resource point deliberately cultivated by the Black Robes in the Forest of Deathrattle. After hesitating for a moment, he called on Rainey to cast a few spells into the river, killing a large number of strange fish before turning around and leaving.

After crossing the Strange Fish River and continuing forward, Ronan gradually smelled the smell of rotting flesh and blood.

Just as he was looking around for the source of the smell, he found that the young wizard Rennie was staring in a certain direction with an unpleasant look on his face.

It was an endless field of black flowers.

The flower fields are densely planted with twisted and weird "flowers".

The rotten body forms the branches of the flower, with a white, slender neck bone extending upwards. The neatly cut skin on the top blooms like petals, and the pistil of each flower is a human face sleeping peacefully.

"Ghost Face Flower"

Ronan stared blankly at the terrifying and creepy flower field in front of him. He now finally understood what resources Fao wanted them to destroy.

It is most likely these ghost-faced flowers that are quite precious to the black-robed wizards.

The cultivation of the ghost flower requires a large amount of blood and flesh, and its maturity period is quite long. It is widely used in the refining of black witch potions and the experiment of black witch spells, and is of great value.

Ronan also learned about the ghost flower when he was bored and flipping through the potion books left by a few black robes.

If a black-robed wizard apprentice came here to see such a large field of ghost-faced flowers, he would probably be so excited that he went crazy.

But to the gray robes, it only felt scary and creepy.

No wonder the name of this secret space is called Corpse Garden.

"What should we do?" Rennie asked Ronan calmly, "Should we destroy all these disgusting things?"

Destroy it.

Ronan simply shook his head.

The ghost flower is quite aggressive. Once it is angered, it will eat the intruder as if it were fertilizer.

There are so many ghost-faced flowers now. If all of them were awakened, even he would not be able to bear it.

This may be the reason why this flower field is unattended.

The only good news now is that all these ghost flowers are fast asleep.

"Next, don't talk anymore. Try not to make any noise as we walk over quietly."

Ronan had the urge to turn around and leave, but thinking of Reni beside him, he decided to walk forward and see.

Find someone to reunite with, and then look for another way out.

In fact, Ronan has been analyzing along the way.

From the cemetery to the Strange Fish River, and then to the Ghost Face Flower Field in front of you.

The apparent crisis is actually gradually decreasing.

He discovered that their group seemed to have taken the back door of the "Corpse Garden". The most important resource, the Ghost Face Flower, was located in the very center of the garden. The cemetery full of skeleton servants was like a "fence" surrounding the garden to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

If his guess was correct, then if he continued walking past the flower field, he should be able to see the main entrance of the garden.

He even suspected that the criterion used by the academy to judge whether this group of wandering gray robes had accomplished their mission was whether they could successfully reach the main gate and meet up with the wizard leading the team, Faol.

Finally, Fao led them out.

If he returned the same way, he might survive but he would most likely not be recognized by the academy and would be regarded as a slacker and have his mission reward revoked.

Ronan silently led Reni into the flower field. Twisted corpse-like ghost flowers stood neatly on both sides of them like ripe corn cobs.

Reni obediently did not say anything to Ronan. All that could be heard along the way was the rustling sound of their footsteps walking through the flower field.

I don’t know how long I walked, but the edge of the flower field was already in sight.

But as expected, the accident still happened.

Ronan noticed that the footsteps belonging to Reni, who had been following him, suddenly stopped.

Turning his head quickly, he saw Rennie standing still, with an expression that said "I didn't mean it" on his face, looking at him nervously and fearfully.

Ronan looked down and discovered that he had accidentally stepped on the exposed root of a ghost flower.

This thing looks like the feet of a ghost-faced flower.

The ghost-faced flower that was stepped on by Rainey, the face of a young man on the flower woke up trembling with pain, and then saw the two of them, opened its mouth in shock.
"call--"

A sudden breeze blew up Ronan's robe.

A strong and powerful arm shot out from under the robe like a javelin, and the white and slender five fingers pressed down on the face of the young man who was about to make a sound. With sudden force, it was directly pinched into a ball of wrinkles.

At the same time, the black sword in the other hand was silently unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.
The crushed ghost-faced flower head fell to the ground and was immediately thrown into the storage waist bag.

From the time the accident occurred to the time it was resolved...the whole process took no more than two seconds, everything was so natural and smooth.

When Ronan expressionlessly put away his sword and slowly wiped his left hand covered with scarlet flower juice with the corner of his robe, Rennie, the instigator, was still dazed and had not yet recovered from the tension and guilt after "getting into trouble".

'There won't be a next time.'
Ronan's lips moved silently as he looked at Rennie coldly.

The latter nodded desperately and was about to make some assurance, but the next second he looked in a certain direction behind Ronan with a horrified expression.

Ronan swung the sword that had just been sheathed and slashed it towards the position behind him where Reni was looking.

A severed ghost face flower flew high into the sky, and in the center of the flower was a pale woman's face that was screaming in fear after witnessing the entire process of her companion being brutally "murdered".
Ronan wanted to stop it further, but it was too late.

"what!--"

The woman's "dying" scream echoed throughout the flower field, and was particularly harsh in the deathly silence.

"go!"

Ronan knew that everything was irreversible at this point, so he called out to Rennie and ran forward.

The scream was like a signal, spreading out over a wide area.

Ronan saw the ghost flowers on both sides of the road waking up from their slumber one after another, at an increasingly faster speed, like dominoes falling down.

Ronan ran quickly, his feet splashing dark red sand on the soft mud. His robe was lifted high behind him. He raised his right hand, and a large amount of energy particles gathered. The light in his palm was distorted.
When the energy gathered to a certain extreme, Ronan summoned the energy missile in his hand and threw it fiercely in the direction of the road ahead.

The huge blue-black ball of light was like a howling hurricane, with the momentum to crush everything, moving forward with overwhelming force, and countless ghost-faced flowers along the way were crushed and shredded.
However, just as Ronan was about to step out of the flower field, he suddenly felt the soil under his feet shaking.

The next second, it seemed as if a huge monster rushed out from the ground, and Reni's panicked cry came from behind.

Ronan quickly turned his head, and a super ghost-faced flower that was more than ten meters tall was reflected in his suddenly shrinking lake-blue pupils.

Only half of its body protruded from the ground, and from the big hole in the flower field stretched out black roots like a giant python.

Reni, who fell behind, was entangled by a root of the Super Ghost Face Flower. At this moment, he was dancing and shouting in the air with his magical scimitar in his hand, like a grasshopper tied with a rope.

"Damn it!"

Ronan gritted his teeth, but ultimately couldn't make the decision to abandon Rennie.

Countless ghost-faced flowers in the flower field crawled out of the soil screaming and rushed towards him viciously.

Ronan ignored it and just stared at the super ghost flower.

"Fortunately, the face of the man with the flower mask has not yet taken shape. Although his size is intimidating, his strength is only at the advanced level zero."

The real reason why Ronan chose to try to rescue Reni was that he felt he still had some strength left.

The Ghost-Faced Flower King is notoriously strong on the outside but weak on the inside. As long as it is fed with enough flesh and blood, its size will continue to expand. Many black-robed wizards like to use this thing as a gatekeeper or security guard for their homes.

He gently leaned the staff in his hand on the ground and uttered short syllables of the spell. Eight bright electric snakes leaped out from the bottom of the black staff and quickly flew out in a fan shape along Ronan's feet.

Under the [flowing electric light], large groups of ghost-faced flowers fell down with screams and smoke, and the road in front of Ronan was gradually cleared.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ronan took a deep breath and shot out like an arrow, turning into a blurry black shadow. When he was about to collide with the ghost-faced flower king, his feet suddenly exploded and he jumped up like a big bird.
"Iris, my dear Iris."

In mid-air, Reni, who was entangled by the roots of the Ghost Face Flower King, had given up struggling. He looked sad, and stared in a certain direction with blurred eyes, muttering softly: "Forgive me for leaving, please don't be sad."

"boom!"

Reni, who was sighing with sadness, was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. He felt a dazzling ball of energy just exploded beside him.

The aftermath of the explosion threw him high up along with the Ghost Face Flower roots that were wrapped around his body. The Ghost Face Flower King's painful and angry howls rang in his ears.
Rainey rolled around in the flower field like a ball that had been hit hard, and he was covered in dust and dizziness.

Just when he was feeling dizzy, he saw a man in a gray robe striding towards him, stepping on the broken and screaming remains of the Ghost Face Flower.

Lower your head and lean forward.
A slender and powerful hand pulled Reni up from the ground, and then a low and indifferent voice sounded in his ears.

"Don't be silly, your Iris won't be sad about your death.

She'll just happily take your pension and have sex with your best mate."
