Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

As the "puzzle" was completed, Fender's head opened slightly, and the surrounding blood mist rushed into his mouth. Fender's eyes opened slightly, emitting an eerie red light.

As if due to the blood mist, "Puzzle" seemed to come alive. He slightly spread his hands, and the blood mist swirled around him. His body slowly floated up, and then his body, which had been lying flat, slowly stood up in the air.

His body churned with blood and flesh, as if countless fat worms were wriggling wildly beneath his skin, sometimes bulging out in a hideous mass, sometimes exposing his veins.

Even Fender's facial features were twisted and squeezed together, his two eyes were squeezed out and the two eyeballs fell into the pool of blood. Then his ears, nose and mouth also fell off, and his white teeth were spat out one by one.

Finally, his body stopped surging, and his entire body became smooth and white, showing no signs of being pieced together from different people. Most strangely, his face was extremely smooth and had no features.

The "Faceless Man" hovered in the air, his aura constantly rising; First-class Wizard Apprentice, Second-class Wizard Apprentice, Third-class Wizard Apprentice—Formal Wizard!

The "Faceless Man" landed slowly, looked at Tyr in the distance, and saw Tyr staring at him with a look of horror. Then he looked at Luna lying next to Tyr.

The "Faceless Man" raised his long left arm, pointed his pale palm at the two of them, and gently hooked his index finger.

"Hoo," "Hoo"

Tyre and Luna flew uncontrollably toward the "Faceless Man," stopping in front of him. The "Faceless Man" ignored Luna and turned to look at Tyre.

The skin on their faces, where the mouth should be, slowly twitched, and a hoarse voice reached their ears.

"The ancestor of the Chis family, Cyril Chis, once mated with a fire elf, so all the descendants of the Chis family contain a trace of fire elf blood."

As he spoke, the "Faceless Man" slowly inserted a finger into Tyr's chest.

"Ouch!" Tyr cried out in pain.

The "Faceless Man" pulled his finger out, some of Tyre's blood coming out with it. He then inserted the blood-stained finger into his "mouth," seemingly savoring Tyre's blood.

After tasting it, "Faceless Man" gripped Tyre's neck with his left hand and spoke again:

"I've always been curious: your biological father, Fenrique Chess, and your grandfather, Warwick Chess, both married humans. How come you show signs of anti-ancestral traits?"

If a half-elf family does not continue to intermarry with elves and have offspring, the symbolic blood of the elves in their descendants will gradually weaken until it is absorbed by the blood of other original races, and they will become the original race.

The most obvious example is Mor Chiss. While Fenrir Chiss and Varrir Chiss are still largely recognizable as human-half-elves, Mor's ears are no longer pointed, and he has almost completely lost all the characteristics of the various elven races.

In contrast, since he began practicing magic, various elven characteristics have become more pronounced in Tyrchis. This is known as "atavism" among half-elves, and it generally occurs in offspring born from intermarriage between half-elf families and elves.

The "Faceless Man" tightened his grip, making it difficult for Tyr to breathe.

"Could it be... that this is why you broke away from the Chelka family—Tel Chelka?"

Tyrell was startled; his golden pupils widened suddenly. Could he be...?

However, No-Face changed his tone and said:

"Don't worry, I'm not a member of your Chelka family, and that's not why I'm here today. Since you don't want to talk about it, then we won't—once I absorb your soul, I'll know everything!"

After saying this, "Faceless Man" raised his right hand, and a thick black mist appeared on his right hand.

Just as he was about to throw the black mist at Tyr, Luna, who had been gathering power, opened her eyes and spewed a huge fireball from her mouth. The fireball hit the "Faceless Man" and caused a massive explosion.

"boom!"

Tyr and Luna fell into the pool of blood beneath their feet, their bodies covered in foul-smelling blood. Perhaps because the "Faceless Man" had absorbed a large amount of blood mist in order to awaken, the blood smell that Tyr and Luna encountered this time was not strong, but it did not make them feel nauseous.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two fled towards the cave entrance, where they resumed the witchcraft they had just performed.

As the smoke cleared, "No-Face" was completely unharmed. He was a legitimate wizard, and he watched the two escape quietly, a hint of mockery visible on his smooth face.

Just as the two escaped the cave and were about to run out of the mountain cave.

"Isn't the fireball fun?"

A mocking voice rang in their ears.

Tyrell and Luna were startled and were about to react.

……

"what!"

When Tyr opened his eyes, they were still frozen in front of the "Faceless Man," and this time it was Luna who was being choked.

"The illusion magic I recently learned"

"Faceless Man" said, and this time he stopped talking and prepared to absorb Tyr's soul directly.

At the critical moment, a long tree root emerged from the cave entrance and pierced straight towards "Faceless Man".

The "Faceless Man" seemed oblivious to the tree roots, which easily pierced his skull.

Before the "Faceless Man" could struggle, his body deflated, leaving only a thin layer of human skin, as if his entire body had been drained by the tree roots.

When Tyr looked up, he saw an old elf whose skin was as rough as tree bark. Tyr had seen him before at some large gatherings of the Nature Speakers. He was the headmaster of the Nature Speakers Academy, "Deep Root Old Man" Orinius Melvin.

Orielius glanced at the altar, then picked up the scroll again.

The "Faceless Man" sniffed the human skin before turning to Tyre and saying:

"You were attacked by people from the Black Ring Crown. They've been trying to assassinate geniuses lately. There's no danger here anymore. Once you've completed your mission, return to the academy on your own."

After saying this, Orielius turned into leaves and disappeared into the cave.

After recovering their strength, Tyr and Luna quickly cleaned up the mess. Luna unexpectedly found the dagger, glanced at it, and put it away. The headless corpse must have been looking for this.

The two were very curious about the ritual, so they used a photographic crystal to record the magic circle on the altar and the surrounding scene. Then they set the place on fire and sealed the entrance to the cave.

Luna slightly modified the account of what happened and told Tom what had happened. Tom knew there were many things that couldn't be explained clearly, but being clever, he tactfully returned the proof of mission completion to them.

On the way back, Tyr looked at the silent Luna, hesitant to speak. Luna had been pretending to be unconscious before she ambushed "No-Face," and she had heard all of his conversation with "No-Face."

"Tyl," Luna said.

"Hmm," Tyrell replied.

Everyone has secrets, and I believe you.

"it is good."
