Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

After leaving the Soyavaren family's treasury, the two returned to the secret chamber, but it was clear that Rhoda's expression was grim.

The two arrived before Chloe's body. Daryl activated his Netherworld Vision, his eyes glowing a pale green. After scanning the body with Netherworld Vision, Daryl's expression turned grim.

"The soul vanished so completely; my clairvoyance can't detect a single trace of it."

Rhoda was shocked: "When did the Black Crown Emblem acquire such a technique?"

With that, Daryl placed a white crystal on Chloe's chest and said:

"I can only make reverse predictions now by using his physical sensations as a medium, but his eyes have also been damaged. It seems your enemy is very well prepared."

After giving his instructions, Daryl began to cast a divination spell. Daryl chanted the incantation, his eyes gradually turned white, and then emitted a white light. The white crystal turned into a puddle of gas, covering Chloe's entire body.

A few extra wisps of white gas flowed into Chloe's nostrils, mouth, and ear canals.

Before long, all the gas left the gas field and began to fly towards Daryl, sending several strands into Daryl's nostrils, mouth, and ear canals in the same manner.

"Oh right, my older brother was going to teach me how to make a photon regeneration potion."

……

"This is Father's protective zone; it can't be this dark."

……

"Knock knock"

Come in.

"Click"

……

Daryl ended his reverse prediction of Colo's sense of touch.

"How is it?" Rhoda asked.

"Life is moving very quickly, but I think I can smell a faint scent."

"odor?"

"A peculiar smell of blood"

"Blood..." Upon hearing this, Rhoda seemed to be deep in thought.

"Please also help me predict whether Chloe's soul still exists," Rhoda said.

Seeing that he had received so many benefits from Rhoda, and considering that he should also give face as a fellow second-level wizard, Daryl did not refuse.

He took out a stone and began to make a prediction.

"The Oren Plane...Maddia District...The City of Radiance, Ireneo...The patriarch of the Soyavaren family...Rhoda Soyavaren, a second-level elemental wizard...Does the soul of her deceased second son, Chloe Soyavaren, still exist?"

The more detailed the prophecy's target, the better the prophecy's effect, and the less it consumes for the prophetic wizard.

The voice just fell.

"Bang—"

The stone shattered.

"It seems it still exists," Daryl said casually.

Although Daryl's information was very specific and the prophecy consumed little energy, it was just that...

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood flowed from Daryl's mouth.

"Dariel the Wizard!?"

……

Loken Hill Icefield.

A white figure gallops across the white land.

The figure was Hughes, who was deliberately wearing a white wizard's robe to blend in with the environment.

This is the Frostbreath Robe that Hughes bought. It is decorated with ice-blue magic patterns. The entire wizard robe exudes ice element particles to conceal his aura and can also release a level zero magic ice crystal barrier.

This Frostbreath Robe cost Hughes over five hundred magic stones because it was a level zero high-grade magical artifact that could automatically absorb surrounding magic power to replenish its own.

Riding the Icehoof Horse he rented from the academy, Hughes observed the surrounding scenery, searching for traces of Icefield Cracked Claw Beasts. Hughes's mission from the academy was to hunt three Icefield Cracked Claw Beasts.

The Iceborne Crackclaw is a variant of the Crackclaw, which has mutated due to its long-term life on the ice plains.

The Cracked Claw Beast is a humanoid magical beast that attacks primarily with its enormous claws that can grow larger. The Cracked Claw Beast's claws are enchanted with ice elemental energy, and these claws are the proof of completing the quest.

Upon arriving at an area where Iceborne Claw Beasts were commonly found, Hughes dismounted, found a secluded spot, set up a simple camp, and began searching for clues. Based on his years of learning, Hughes discovered Iceborne Claw Beast droppings.

Hughes then found the footprints of the Icefield Crack Claw Beast nearby, and following the footprints, he found an Icefield Devilclaw Beast catching fish by the frozen lake.

Hughes immediately locked his mental energy onto the head of the Cracked Claw Beast, while raising his left hand to aim at the Terrorclaw Beast and instantly unleashing two fire orbs.

At the same time, Hughes mentally sketched the sorcery runes for a spinning ice spike. The next moment, a rapidly spinning ice spike appeared in front of Hughes and shot towards the head of the Icefield Crack Claw Beast.

The Iceborne Claw Beast reacted and moved with incredible speed, immediately dodging the two fire orbs to the side, but a rapidly spinning ice spike shot toward its head.

The Iceborne Crackling Beast twisted its body to the extreme, spinning an ice spike that grazed the neck of the Iceborne Devilclaw Beast, piercing through the frozen lake behind it and creating two small holes in the frozen surface.

The Icefield Crack Claw Beast noticed the scratch on its neck, glared angrily at Hughes who was casting the spell, and charged at Hughes with a howl.

The Icefield Devilclaw was extremely fast, and Hughes knew he could not dodge it. He fired several Frostbolts at the Icefield Devilclaw and then released the deflection field he had prepared in advance.

The Icefield Crack Claw Beast's claws crossed and attacked, but the claws twisted strangely to Hughes's left. Hughes seized the opportunity to draw his cross sword and cast an Ice Blast spell, slashing at the pair of slender arms.

"Bang!"

This strike severed one arm, and another was also cut in half by the cross-shaped sword.

Seeing that the cross sword was stuck, Hughes released the cross sword and knocked the Icefield Crack Claw Beast to the ground, while also shooting a dark ray at its head.

"laugh"

After defeating the Icefield Cracked Claw Beast, Hughes picked up the claw from the ground and walked towards the beast's corpse, chopping off the other claw.

Aside from the heart, there didn't seem to be any other valuable materials on the Icefield Claw Beast. After carefully storing the heart and claws, Hughes continued searching for traces of the Icefield Claw Beast.
