Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"Who are you?"

"Besaka" scrutinized Hughes's "face," her eyes narrowing slightly.

Upon seeing this, Hughes immediately raised his hand and tugged at his collar, revealing the bloody brand on his neck.

"I serve that lord."

Upon seeing the brand, "Vesaka" was completely relieved.

"Oh, I see."

He breathed a sigh of relief and then walked towards the other person.

"So... what does that lord want me to do?"

At the same time, Hughes stepped forward, a half-smile playing on his lips:

"Hehe, you were a powerful full-pool wizard before, and a minor leader at that, so of course that lord would remember you."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted the other person's shoulder.

"Snap—"

"Snap!!"

The next second, a thick layer of ice crystals exploded on "Vesaka's" shoulder and spread layer by layer along his arm.

In the blink of an eye, the extreme cold cage froze his entire arm, and the bone staff in his hand was also frozen and cracked, shattering into ice shards.

"you--!"

"Besaka" was suddenly startled, but before he could react, a human-shaped ripple suddenly spread out behind him.

"Buzz..."

The next moment, Mr. Poison appeared behind "Vesaka".

"Whoosh—!"

He moved with lightning speed; his right arm barely left a blur before the "Black Fang" dagger in his hand was already piercing the back of Besaka's neck.

"laugh--!"

As a corpse whose body had been modified, Mr. Poison Demon's strength was already astonishing.

But "Vesaka" now has the body of an orc, and the dagger was stuck two centimeters in when it was blocked by the muscles that rivaled those of a monster.

"call--"

But at the same moment, a large, armored hand suddenly swung down and slammed heavily onto the handle.

"Snap—"

"Bang—!!"

With a muffled thud, the tip of the dagger suddenly emerged from "Vesaka's" throat, and drops of blood dripped down the tip of the blade, falling onto the ground.

"Pat-pat, pat..."

Under Nister's immense strength, the entire dagger pierced through "Vesaka's" neck.

"Thump—"

The other person's knees buckled, and he collapsed heavily to the ground, as if all his strength had been drained.

"Cough... Uh..."

"Besaka" opened his mouth, but only a muffled sound came out of his throat.

His eyes first showed shock, then confusion, and finally completely lost their sparkle...

On the other side, Hughes had already taken half a step back.

He looked at the gradually cooling corpse in front of him, his tone perfectly calm:

"You'll be very useful later, unfamiliar vampire."

After saying that, he casually waved his hand and sent the two meritorious officials opposite him back into the space of the dead.

……

A moment later—

"boom--!!!!!"

Without warning, a deafening roar suddenly erupted in the center of the upper city. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that it was the floating island.

The once enormous island suddenly disintegrated in mid-air, the fragmented land turning into meteorites that crashed straight down into the upper city below.

"Oh no! Lord City Lord! And Miss Elena too!!"

Upon seeing this, Vok's expression changed drastically.

Without hesitation, he immediately flashed and sped towards the sky above the upper city.

"Whoosh—!!"

They had already witnessed the city lord falling into the tower from afar.

In order to rush to check on her father's condition, Elena immediately flew towards the Sky Island.

Both of them are currently on a floating island. If...

With that thought, Vok accelerated again, creating sonic booms in the surrounding air.

But even before the war, the floating islands had already lowered their altitude, and now several of the largest pieces of land had crashed into the Mosold family's mansion.

"BOOM!! BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

In an instant, several loud explosions came from the mansion, and thick smoke and dust rose into the sky.

Fortunately, as a demonized building belonging to the city lord, the mansion did not suffer much damage, with only a few cracks appearing on the roof.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

At the same time, Vok and the others who arrived quickly took action, smashing the remaining falling boulders and clods of earth one by one.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!!!"

In an instant, dust and smoke rose into the sky above the city, and thick dust and gravel poured down like a waterfall, swallowing up all the houses and streets in the city.

However, Vock and the others had no time to worry about that.

They unleashed their mental power and released reconnaissance magic, racing against time to search for the city lord and his daughter amidst the billowing dust.

A moment later, one of them shouted:

"There! Someone flew out!"

Upon hearing this, Vock immediately looked up and saw a figure suddenly flying out of the smoke and dust near the ruins of the wizard's tower.

"Whoosh—"

Fortunately, the person used levitation to stabilize themselves in the next second, and then their body swayed and landed on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Vok immediately flew over.

To his disappointment, although the person was covered in a thick layer of dust, making it difficult to see their face, it was clearly not Ross or Elena.

"Who are you? Why are you on the floating island?!"

The man did not reply, but slowly stood up.

Vok opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Although that face was covered in dust, it still seemed to have an... lingering gloom.

"Bang—"

The next second, the person threw out a dusty gray "sphere".

Upon closer inspection, Vok realized it was the head of an orc.

"I am Hughes Craig. I was just with Elena to check on her father."

Hughes, his face grim, pointed to the head on the ground.

"Perhaps the barrier was tainted by blood energy, which also paralyzed the wizard tower's devices."

"As a result, we ran into some orcs there, who took advantage of Lord Ross's weakness and tried to harm him."

"Lord Ross, and... what about Miss Irene?"

Vok interjected:

"How are they...?"

Upon hearing this, Hughes pursed his lips tightly:

"At that time, an orc wizard ran out, and I chased him to the outside of the tower."

His voice became hoarse, and there was a hint of regret in it.

"Then... the entire wizard tower exploded. I estimate it was the remaining orcs who had already 'transformed' and probably detonated their own magic pools."

"As for Lord Ross... and Elena... they were right in the eye of the explosion."

Upon hearing this, Vok's face turned deathly pale.

He opened his mouth, then turned his head to look a few more times at the spot where the wizard tower had fallen.

Only a few fragments remained; the rest had likely been reduced to ashes in the explosion.

"No……"
