Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 248 The Legend of the Sniper

Not everyone is lucky.

Xiaoli firmly believed that misfortune would not befall her and refused to seek refuge in the inner city.

The past few days were indeed a close call, and she proudly boasted to her colleagues at work about it.

The result now is unbearable to describe.

"Let's close up shop early at 3 p.m. and everyone go to the Dawn Church for refuge. Today will only be more dangerous than the past few days," Ye Zi announced to everyone.

At noon, the sky was overcast and gray. Although there were no clouds, no sunlight shone down.

Many people realized that something was wrong.

The moment of global convergence is fast approaching. It is only natural that some unusual phenomena will occur.

Some people felt nervous, while others were indifferent.

Yezi decided to close her stall early again, shutting it down before 2 PM. She went home, called her mother Bai Sha, and they hurried to the church.

As it turned out, her decision was absolutely correct.

The light in the sky gradually dimmed. A terrifying sense of oppression filled the air, making one's heart pound.

"This is a bit troublesome!"

Tai'an stared at the sky as terrifying calamity descended like a waterfall. No living being in the capital could escape it, and even the Wizarding Academy was no longer a haven of peace.

He slowly raised his hands, and inscriptions appeared on his body.

New memory fragments were awakened, and more knowledge of runes was gained. This included the shaping of various physiques. Typical examples include the Eternal Green Physique, the Celestial Chaos Physique, the Crimson Lotus Immortal Physique, the Earth Sacred Physique, and the Void Physique, among others.

The burden of full-body inscriptions is immense, and generally speaking, cultivators will only make appropriate inscription modifications to their bodies.

After several days of research and repeated attempts, Tai'an found that the Eternal Green Body and the Heavenly Origin Chaos Body were quite compatible.

Which one should we choose? We must make a decision now.

"May it live forever! That sounds like it will allow you to live a long time."

Close your eyes and let the inscriptions climb up your bones and body.

Tai'an's suspended body emitted a faint bluish-green light. With each breath, one could feel the surging life force within him.

Originally, his peak condition had been reduced due to the loss of a large amount of blood, but he is now recovering at an astonishing rate.

It's actually a percentage-based recovery efficiency; the depleted life force is replenished by converting natural energy. The inscription on the Eternal Green Body serves as the medium for this conversion.

In less than half an hour, he recovered to his peak condition and even showed signs of improvement.

The price was that large areas of the lush, dense forest beneath our feet withered. The vibrant green leaves of summer turned a dull, autumnal yellow.

Looks like I'll have to choose a less inconvenient spot next time.

Tai'an seized the opportunity to test the changes in its strength.

The Everlasting Essence of the Nine Inscriptions cannot match the improvement offered by the Thirty-Nine Inscriptions.

The former increases strength by approximately three times. The latter increases it by five times.

Tai'an temporarily added six more inscriptions, bringing the total to fifteen, increasing its strength by about four times.

These are all very effective inscriptions, and the Everlasting Script has extremely high compatibility.

He was certainly not satisfied.

A decline in strength is unacceptable; at the very least, it must be on par with the past.

So, he found a quiet place and kept revising the inscription scheme.

The six types of inscriptions became nine, then eleven, then fifteen…

Before you know it, night falls.

Tai'an was immersed in a 256-fold sense of time, feeling as if a long time had passed, when in reality it was only around 3:30 pm.

Strange things began to appear in large numbers.

They immediately occupied various objects, which flew around in the air.

The capital city descended into chaos.

The well-prepared Spellcasters' Guild once again activated the Holy Light Purification City Barrier. The area was larger than yesterday's, even extending into the vicinity of Gray Rat Alley.

Those eager to enter the inner city now had more room to move around, which temporarily eased the tense situation.

Weaker monsters were unable to enter the Holy Light Barrier and could only dart around its edge, looking for lone individuals. Some monsters with strength above the Formal Stage forcibly broke in.

Because of their small number and large size, they were easily processed.

Tai'an restrained all his followers, requiring them to remain at both the Wizarding Academy and the Church of Dawn. Active hunting of the supernatural was explicitly forbidden; the primary objective was observation and stalling for time.

"Young Master, are you prepared to take action personally?" Aglaia looked at Tai'an expectantly.

"It depends, I think so!"

The Source Eye gazed upon the scene of calamity energy raining down.

Disaster is imminent! Perhaps he can find a place to hide. However, those around him cannot be saved.

Ultimately, Tai'an could not ignore the lives of those nearby.

These vibrant people constitute his world.

Time passed slowly.

Tai'an worked quickly to complete the inscriptions on the entire body. At first, the difficulty was relatively low, and he soon broke through to twenty types of inscriptions. Adding the nine types of the "Eternal Green" style, he had a total of twenty-nine types.

Its strength is almost equal to that of the thirty-nine types.

Tai'an felt a stagnation again; his mental energy couldn't control his overly powerful physical body. It was like a child swinging a heavy hammer. He let out a long breath.

He immediately asked Dorothy for a perfect-quality magic potion. With the increased recovery speed, things became much easier.

The feeling of stiffness in the body has largely disappeared.

"Go for it, Xiao An! I believe in you!" Dorothy stepped forward and gave him a kiss. Taking advantage of Silver Moon's absence, she rummaged through her fresh stock of kisses, her pretty face flushed.

Is it just my imagination?

His mouth tasted even sweeter than yesterday…

A colossal figure of death appeared from the void, no more than a hundred miles from the capital.

Compared to yesterday, He was much faster today.

It absorbed the eeriness of the town along the way, growing even larger.

Ordinary people standing on the ground could no longer judge its exact size. Its overwhelming, sky-covering presence and unstoppable, eerie natural disaster instilled fear in all who beheld it. Even the eternal, blazing sun, on which such hopes were placed, could not hinder it in the slightest.

The hopes of the Violet Kingdom's leadership are once again pinned on the divine being.

The colossal Grim Reaper was less than fifty miles from the capital.

Tai'an announced his decision to join the war. He slowly drew his Dark Judgment sword, which he always carried. The slumbering sword spirit awoke, and the clouds in the sky churned and gathered. The next second, his figure soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light.

With his current strength, the role of weapons is actually negligible.

The main attraction is the area-of-effect damage of Dark Judgment.

It must be admitted that there is currently a lack of large-scale attack methods. There are not many good solutions for dealing with enemies of overwhelming numbers.

The tiny figure standing before the colossal Grim Reaper is nothing more than a stubborn rock before a tsunami.

He swung his sword with all his might, and a dense black electric net spread through the air.

Destroying the power grid is enough to wipe out an army in an instant.

The impact on the giant Grim Reaper's body was less than one-thousandth of its volume.

Not enough, far from enough.

Tai'an is gathering strength in an attempt to launch an even larger offensive.

The surging blood and energy converged into a stream of energy that swirled around the edge of the Dark Judgment sword.

New move! Devastating Tornado!
