Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 755 Mysterious Voice (2-in-1)

"Come...here..."

"Don't go..."

"Don't go!"

As the two were talking, that ghostly voice, like summoning spirits, rang out once again.

This time, everyone heard it clearly.

It was emanating from the giant human face.

The voice contained a heart-wrenching sorrow, as if a dying mother were pleading for help.

The deep affection was so intense that it seemed to melt even the hardest heart.

But at the same time, a mysterious will, with its soul-stealing power, strikes, disturbing people's minds.

Even Roy felt his mind becoming somewhat dazed.

Fortunately, his spirit was strong enough to withstand this inexplicable force.

"This thing can attack the soul?"

Roy turned his head and looked.

Artia, Anjali, and the others stopped at some point and looked up at the sky with a somewhat blank expression.

Manant, who was beside him, was also somewhat lost in thought.

"Don't stare at it, something's strange about it!"

After offering a reminder, Roy immediately took Artia and the others back to the mage's mansion.

As for Manant, his solution was to curl his hair, and "Tishmara's tangled hair" transformed into shadowy tendrils that entangled him.

He had no idea what kind of monster he was encountering.

However, strange and monstrous creatures possess certain unique laws.

He had once taken the "Thousand-shot Potion," and there were still quite a few remnants of demons of the same level.

Using monsters to fight monsters, and laws to fight laws, is entirely feasible.

Manant, attacked by the strange power he controlled, will temporarily be spared from attacks from the faces in the sky.

After doing all this, Roy leaped into the air, his long hair dragging Manant as they fled at high speed.

But just when Roy thought he could escape the face attack,

An unusually terrifying suction force came from behind.

"How is this going?

I had already turned my head away from it and gotten rid of the influence from before!
Could it be that staring at it earlier only affected my mind, but now it's affecting my physical body...?

not good!"

In a flash, a chilling thought crossed Roy's mind.

He suddenly realized what the "law" power of this strange creature was.

Whether you stare at it or turn your back to it, you will be attacked.

The only difference is whether it's physical or mental!
Roy snorted coldly, and a faint light emerged from between his brows.

That is his Soul Stone, the true location of his "original body"!
In that instant, the body left in place immediately became an empty shell without a soul.

It suddenly turned around and stared intently at the huge human face behind it that was about to attack it.

At this moment, the human face in the sky was quietly approaching, surrounded by a thick fog, bringing with it an imposing aura like dark clouds pressing down on a city.

However, after it turned its body around, it actually stopped.

"Don't go..."

The heartfelt cries rang out once again.

The voice seemed even more sorrowful and mournful than before.

However, the face did not change again.

It seems to have lost all awareness of itself!
"This pattern is indeed correct!"

Roy, whose body and soul were separated, thought to himself.

……

Shortly after.

In a natural cave in a forest of bones.

Roy's Soul Stone re-entered his body, and his long hair trembled, as if a living being had released Manant from within.

The hair, which was tens of meters long and cascading like a waterfall, quickly shrank and shortened, returning to its normal waist-length shape.

"Um...ah!"

Manant felt as if he had finally been freed from the suffocating terror of the nightmare, breathing in the fresh air, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.

"What exactly happened just now?"

How did Koslauma get out of there?

He asked with a look of fear on his face, his eyes filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

"You're asking me? I'm asking you the same question!"

As the person in charge of the Oasis Camp, you should be very familiar with the situation in this world.

Roy glanced at him.

Upon hearing this, Manant blushed and weakly explained, "Actually, I'm just looking for a job to make a living."

"Ok?"

"With my skills, if I went to those dangerous battlefields or similar places, I might only survive by a hair's breadth."

The teacher used his connections to get me this job, so I can live a peaceful life now…

Manant said somewhat embarrassedly.

Roy was speechless for a moment, then ignored him and began to think.

What exactly happened inside the Creation Garden? Why did such a dangerous monster appear?

Even a great wizard has fallen into this trap. Who exactly was he, and how did he get caught up in it?

Roy had previously thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he didn't bother to find out more about it.

But now, we have to ask more questions.

Fortunately, Manant wasn't truly clueless or just drifting through life.

He still revealed some useful information: "The great wizard's name was Quinic, and he entered it about 25 years ago."

There were no witnesses at the time, but after the return period had passed, I reported the unusual situation, and a red-robed consul came to inquire about it...

I heard about the possible situation from him as well.

"Oh? So the specifics are still unclear. Was it learned through methods like prophecy?"

"That's right.

According to the governor's speculation, quite a few strange creatures must have already awakened within the Creation Garden...

That place has become their paradise!

"It's not hard to tell that the destruction that struck the Kingdom of Cretaceous was a massive explosion at the level of the soul."

The souls of most objects, even those angelic puppets, were completely destroyed.

However, the existence of monsters does not depend on souls.

They were neither living beings nor spirits, but rather something akin to natural laws or eerie phenomena.

"Yes, all the evidence suggests that the land of chalk is very likely transforming into such a state."

Moreover, this tendency is more pronounced in the more central the area...

Perhaps a thousand years from now, it will be a newly reborn, bizarre world!

Manant nodded repeatedly.

After a brief conversation, Roy released several small flying golems and took the Wizard's Eye to scout outside.

There are still many huge monsters roaming outside the cave, but they no longer pose much of a threat.

Because although they appear enormous, their perception is extremely poor; they usually wander around aimlessly, almost like being blind.

The real danger is that enormous human face.

However, after the chase, it had already dispersed and disappeared without a trace.

Roy called to Manant, and they began to carefully head south.

And so, they continued on until the next day.

He felt the surrounding mist dissipate and his sense of the void seemed to return, so he activated the "Teleportation" spell and returned to the oasis camp.

******
"Finally back!"

Looking at his familiar home, Manant breathed a long sigh of relief.

Having narrowly escaped death, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Fortunately, Lord Roy was kind enough to help him out in his time of need... But his hair was really strange.

Despite being a level two wizard, he was almost choked to death!
"Your Excellency, I wish to write a report on this unusual situation and submit it to the Witch Tower. What do you think..."

"Write it down, it's your duty."

Roy didn't care.

"Alright, I'll record it as it is."

Koslauma...

This is the first demon-level monster I have ever observed, but fortunately, these things do not have the intelligence and desires of ordinary creatures.

Otherwise, who knows what the consequences would have been.

Manant said with a hint of lingering fear.

Do they lack wisdom and desire?

Roy seemed to be deep in thought.

"These strange beings do not possess intelligence and desires in the conventional sense, but merely have some 'intelligence,' 'instinct,' and similarities to the will of the world."

But that strange noise I heard earlier...

It's still something that people care about!
At first, the situation was precarious, and there wasn't time to think things through too much.

but now……

The more I think about it, the more something seems off.

Although they were all sounds like echoes of the soul, upon closer inspection, the initial sound and the human face seemed to be different.

Roy asked the other party again to confirm the details.

As expected, Manant said he only heard Koslauma's voice the whole time.

It was that call of "Don't go" and "Come here".

What I heard at the very beginning was clearly “”...

"It seems there really are two strange creatures, not just one?"

Roy was startled and horrified at the thought.

"Some of these strange creatures possess 'false intelligence,' and they might indeed utter a word or two..."

But that's even more rudimentary than parroting, and it doesn't seem to have any meaning whatsoever.

But why do I always have this strange feeling?

I originally thought that this trip was just to dig up some soil to take away in preparation for the future repair of Alice.

But unexpectedly, they encountered such a "paranormal event"!
Thinking of this, he didn't even bother to visit the Blood Seal Demon Bees or check on the development of those demons, and immediately prepared to leave.

"What? You're just going to leave already?"

Didn't we say before that we were going to go and take a look...?

Manant was somewhat surprised when he learned of this.

"No need. I'll just go to the Wizard Tower and post a quest to find some apprentices or wizards..."

If you'd like, you can also help me with the contracting.

"Huh? Huh!"

Manant was invigorated.

As the guardian of this place, he was, to some extent, taking advantage of the local resources.

The moment you mention contracting, you're wide awake.

However, Roy was in a hurry to leave and didn't have time to talk to him in detail, only saying that they would talk about it after returning to the tower.

So, not long after.

Arriving at the teleportation array, ready to leave.

"..."

Just then, that affectionate and sorrowful voice appeared once again.

Roy felt a chill run down his spine, and his expression instantly became somewhat out of control.

"They actually chased after us?"

"..."

Once again, it seemed to surface directly in my mind.

The sound was getting closer and closer!
Without hesitation, Roy activated the teleportation.

……

"came back!"

Amidst a strange sense of unease, Roy returned to the Wizard Tower.

Here, protected by the powerful measures of the Seven Towers Alliance, he could finally relax and feel at ease.

This place was prepared for dimensional warfare; in reality, it's equivalent to the ultimate fortress.

Neither otherworldly gods nor various strange monsters could harm it in the slightest.

Unless a true interdimensional war breaks out...

But just as Roy thought of this, a slight, strange feeling suddenly came over him.

[Alchemy talent gain in progress (100%)]

【Demon Mask (Silver Rank)】

[A deeper understanding of all mask-like creations; when learning related knowledge and crafting corresponding products, the corresponding ability level increases by 2.]

A new silver-level talent has been formed!
"Soul particles were crushed and became the essence of the soul, which then transformed into my innate talent?"

He had just thought of the protective function of the Witch Tower when this happened, and he couldn't help but shudder.

But at the same time, realizing what I had just gained brought me a thrilling surprise.

"How lucky I am to have a pillow appear when I'm just a little sleepy?"

I just mastered the secrets of the "Face of God" a few days ago, and now I've gained another talent, the "Demon God Mask"!

What great luck!

In the world of magic, even luck has its profound roots.

Aside from the divine beings in the realm of destiny, the greatest source of all this must be the will of the world itself.

Those so-called "protagonists of the world" and "chosen ones of the plane" receive the favor of heaven and earth and enjoy preferential treatment at all times.

It manifests as extremely good luck.

Although this experience was indeed somewhat frightening, the final result proves that I have received legendary destinies from many worlds, and have accumulated "luck" invisibly.

If we were to express this talent, perhaps we could name it "strong luck".

……

After resting for a while and calming his mind, Roy brought the chalk soil to Alice's room.

She began mixing the mud paste, as if repairing a stone statue, applying her carefully prepared healing fluid to her wounds.

“, ……

(Activation Technique)

After some preparation, Roy stretched out his hand and chanted a spell.

The chalky soil applied to the wound shimmered faintly, and after a moment, it seeped into the cracks and transformed into flesh and blood.

At the site of injury, the skin and flesh wriggle as if alive, with the torn muscle fibers clinging to each other.

In just a short while, the injury healed, and the skin was smooth as before.

Roy gently stroked Alice's body, but frowned slightly.

"It looks healed to the naked eye, but in reality, the material inside this wound is completely inadequate and does not possess the strength that the Rose Angel's body should have!"

Okay, let's leave it at that for now.

For now, I'll use enchanted diamonds and other various apostle sets, armored suits, and other heavy armor to temporarily hold my own...

"Once I've mastered the true 'creation of the Cretaceous,' I'll solve this completely."

He then left the alchemy room and went to the library to look up information.

He was still somewhat concerned about what was happening in the Land of Cretaceous.

As a result, after finding the answer he wanted with the help of the Maiden's Skull and the Nefera Angels, Roy was slightly lost in thought.

He finally understood the meaning of "".

"This is a very ancient era, a kind of slang used by the Vizel wizards, an ancient phonetic system."

Translated, it's similar to...

Baby?"
