Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Upon seeing Zoroark, Hughes had a bad feeling.

As expected, the moment the other party appeared, they revealed a ferocious expression and said:

"Hughes, you didn't expect me to come looking for you again so soon, did you? Hehehe..."

...whoosh, whoosh.

At the same time, figures flew in from two other directions, clearly members of the Heruno family.

They were clearly prepared, with one of them clutching a bright white spherical crystal tightly in his hand.

The crystal is continuously emitting an invisible force field. Within the area covered by the force field, the entire space is disturbed, and the transmission time will be greatly extended.

Thus, the three fire wizards sealed off all of Hughes's escape routes, trapping him firmly in the center.

On the other side, Zoroark continued:

"I know everything now... that cave, that man in black... I've found out everything."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Hughes' heart sank, and a murderous intent quickly surfaced in his eyes.

"Who told you that?"

He said coldly, clearly acknowledging the matter.

However, he had a vague feeling that something was not right.

If Zoroark is truly certain that he is the murderer, then he will inevitably face the purge of the Herro family, not just the encirclement of three people.

"Hehe...hehehehahaha!!!"

Upon hearing this, Zoroark did not answer, but instead suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

"It was you! It really was you, Hughes Craig!!"

Seeing this, Hughes realized that he had been tricked into revealing information, but he couldn't help but believe the scenes the other party had described.

...That's strange. How did he find that place, and how did he know what happened back then?

Hughes was full of doubts, after all, Hector's soul had clearly been transformed into nourishment for his Sighing Bone Flute.

However, he didn't have time to think about it now, because the three of them had already activated the Lava Heart at the same time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The next moment, three scorching heat waves swept over them, heading straight for Hughes and Nister in the center.

Nister immediately unleashed a thermal energy field, and the scorching gas surged out, completely dispersing the incoming airflow.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!!"

As the shockwave dissipated, the three people in the arena had completely transformed.

What they are activating is the advanced form of the Lava Heart: the Lava Body.

"Splash! Splash!"

Their hearts pounded wildly, and then scalding magma erupted from within, meandering down their bodies until it enveloped them completely.

Immediately, the magma solidified on their bodies, forming a flowing armor.

"..."

Hughes had seen this state before.

After all, this was the state that Hector activated during their duel.

However, he is now facing three formal wizards.

He could sense that the three people's bodies were undergoing a transformation, with their flesh and bones changing towards the structure of magma.

At this moment, the three of them seemed to transform into three volcanoes about to erupt, their auras instantly surging several times over, and the surrounding temperature also rising rapidly.

"Hehe, no matter how it changes, it hasn't broken through the boundaries of a formal wizard."

Hughes muttered, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

The next moment, the Urga Silver Armor emerged from beneath his robes, transforming into a gleaming silver mid-armor that firmly protected his entire body.

Having withstood the dragon's flames, Erga Silver naturally wouldn't fear the enchanted magma of a formal wizard.

Urgain's structure is extremely unique. Even though the helmet completely covers his head, his vision is not obstructed, and he can still see the outside world clearly.

"Nister, your main role from now on is to keep them occupied."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed on the other person's left chest.

In an instant, the flame patterns on the armor lit up one after another, and a scorching aura burst forth.

"roar--!!"

With a roar, Nystor raised his arms high, wielding his twin greatswords.

"Whoosh—!!"

The next moment, blazing flames suddenly ignited and spread rapidly along the spine of the sword, covering the entire blade in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, possessing such immense fire elemental power, he just happened to be facing a fire wizard, which would inevitably put Nister at a disadvantage in this battle.

"A Demon Knight...?"

On the other side, Zoroark's gaze seemed fixed, his eyes fixed on the light emanating from Nyster's breastplate, not moving an inch.

A sense of foreboding quietly rose in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed it.

"Breken, go deal with that modified corpse next to him."

He turned his head and gave orders to his subordinates beside him.

"But remember, don't hurt its heart; I always felt there was something strange about it."

The corpse didn't possess much magical power, and its demonic seed only barely reached the minimum level of an Empty Pool Wizard.

However, his terrifying physique should not be underestimated, so he still dispatched one of his subordinates to deal with him.

"Hughes, I'm giving you one last chance to live."

After giving instructions to his men, Zoroark looked at Hughes again.

"Where is Hector's body?"

Upon hearing this, Hughes seemed to have thought of something, and his tone immediately became somewhat teasing:

"The corpse? Since you say you know, you should also know that I've already destroyed that idiot, leaving not even ashes."

"Shut up!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zoroark suddenly flew into a rage, not because the other party had insulted his long-deceased brother.

"You know what I'm asking... As a fellow wizard, I trust you would never destroy it."

His tone suppressed anger, mixed with a hint of anxiety.

"Or rather, it will absolutely not destroy that organ."

At the time, he only learned about the scene of the incident and Hughes's name from the information that suddenly flooded his mind.

Because he lacked evidence, he did not report the situation to his family, but instead chose to take action on his own.

However, even if he had substantial evidence, he would still do it.

After all, his true purpose from beginning to end was for Hector's... intact and powerful heart.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Hughes simply smiled and then took the initiative to make his move.

The next moment, three invisible curved blades rapidly converged around him and then shot out in three directions.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Even with their lava bodies, Zoroark and the others immediately dodged.

This is because these three curved blades contain spatial energy that is difficult to repair.

"Good...very good!!"

Seeing this, Zoroark said coldly.

"Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for tearing your soul out and showing you what true torment is!"
