A noun entry: Wizard

Before heading to the wizard's ruins, one must be well prepared.

Fortunately, Russell's improvements to the "annihilation of the Dream Clan's will" have already shown initial success.

Furthermore, the use of spatial elemental power when fighting the Nightmare King also affected him.

Russell gained more inspiration and achieved some success in his research on spatial elements.

The only thing that puzzled him was the amount of dust on his entry.

It's not a two-and-a-half-million-dollar kill by a second-tier opponent.

Instead, it was a second-tier fighter killing two fourth-tier fighters with a combined strength of 100,000.

It's shrunk by a full twenty-five times!

Originally, there was a guaranteed minimum of two red epic attributes and twenty-three gold legendary attributes, but now only one gold legendary attribute remains.

"Isn't this hindering my development?"

Russell was somewhat angry. He had taken the risk for the sake of the high amount of term dust.

However, the result was far from satisfactory.

No one could accept this!

After a brief moment of anger, Russell calmed down and began to analyze the deeper meaning behind the 100,000 entries of dust.

If the Nightmare King is truly Tier 5, then he couldn't possibly have only received 100,000 abbreviation dust.

The amount of term dust he obtained was only the amount of two fourth-order beings.

"If the Nightmare King didn't only possess the aura of a fifth-tier being, and his essence were still that of two fourth-tier beings."

"That means the Nightmare King is still alive!"

"He faked his death to escape and is now lurking in the wizarding world, ready to launch a fatal attack on wizards at any moment!"

Russell could vaguely sense a pair of cold eyes secretly watching everything the Wizarding Association did.

Where could he be hiding?

……

The Wizarding Association branch, Bernard's research lab.

August returned secretly, because the Nightmare King's corpse and shattered spiritual core were still with Bernard.

August wouldn't miss out on a fifth-order experimental subject.

This is their shared spoils!

Augustus naturally has the right to conduct research as well.

The more they studied it, the stranger it seemed.

"Something's wrong with this body."

August was wearing a specially made witch's robe, a mask on his face, and gloves on his hands.

Ensure that not a single trace of the embers' power dissipates.

"Indeed, the spiritual energy in the corpse has completely dried up; it's just death, it can't be like this."

"There's also a problem with this fragment of the spiritual core; it's not fifth-order, but rather two fourth-order fragments pieced together."

Bernal analyzed.

"You mean, the Nightmare King isn't dead yet? That guy who secretly intervened rescued him?"

"August said in a deep voice."

"If my guess is right, then it's not."

After a moment's thought, Bernard said, "But what if it's not what I suspect?"

"Can't you speak normally? Stop being a riddle-maker." August was speechless. What are you saying?

Is it still a universal language?

"It's nothing, just listen to what I have to say. We need to be wary of the Nightmare King; he might still be alive," Bernard said with a smile.

If it wasn't Russell who intervened, could it have been the one lurking within the Wizarding Association?

Using the power of space to obscure perception, seemingly a hidden attack to kill the Nightmare King, is actually a cover for the Nightmare King's escape.

Even in ancient times, there were very few wizards who could sense and utilize spatial elements.

"In this era where spatial wizards are scarce and advanced methods of elemental perception have been completely lost, how can someone still wield the power of spatial elements? Is it some kind of collection from an evil god?"

Bernard found it hard to understand.

He initially thought it was Russell who had comprehended the spatial element; after all, as the Child of the World, it was normal for him to encounter things he couldn't understand.

But now it seems that this is very likely not the case.

However, Bernard did not dare to draw any conclusions about the specific situation.

That's why what August said was somewhat vague.

August didn't press the matter further and continued studying the corpse of the Nightmare King.

Even if the Nightmare King may have escaped, the corpse he left behind is still of great research value.

Regardless, this is ultimately a fifth-tier corpse.

The Nightmare Clan, born from the fusion of the Dream Clan and the Nightmare Clan, is, in any case, a completely new race and is of great research value.

In particular, by combining the corpses of the Dream Clan and the Nightmare Clan, one can study their commonalities and solve problems that have long plagued many wizards.

That is, can the Dream Clan and the Nightmare Clan merge into a completely new race?

Clearly, the Nightmare King before them, this creation of the evil god, has already solved this problem.

What they need to do now is to summarize and deduce it in reverse.

The only pity is that the Dream Clan has become extinct, making it impossible to conduct live experiments to try to merge the Dream Clan and the Nightmare Clan to create a new Nightmare Clan.

While Bernard and August were engrossed in their research on the Nightmare King...

Russell has already gone out to meet Evelyn.

At the meeting point, he met two other wizards.

This time, the wizard's ruins were discovered by Evelyn and her best friend.

Both sides agreed that each would bring one second-tier wizard to explore the wizard ruins together.

A team of four. This ensures that the number of people is not too small, and that it is safe enough.

There won't be too many wizards sharing the profits.

It falls into a fairly appropriate range.

"Oh? I didn't expect the wizard Evelyn invited to be Lord Russell."

At the meeting point, before Russell could even see the other person's face clearly, he heard a clear and melodious voice.

Russell immediately recognized her as one of Evelyn's best friends.

Clover.

Like Evelyn, she was very famous in the Wizarding Association.

It's not just her beauty that's famous, but also her talent.

Both of them are top-tier second-tier wizards in the Wizarding Association, second only to third-tier wizards.

Otherwise, at most she would be said to have a chaotic private life, but she wouldn't become famous for her beauty, or even be proud of it by many wizards.

"It is an honor to have Sir Russell here."

A girl with a pure and sweet appearance, long black hair, and black eyes looked at Russell with a gentle smile.

"Lady Corleone, Lord Brad," Russell greeted the two.

Brad is also a top-tier second-tier wizard, and has been famous for a long time.

"Lord Russell." Brad nodded. He was an elemental body-refining wizard, with a burly build but rather ordinary appearance.

All three were among the top-tier second-tier wizards below the third-tier wizards, yet they were all very polite to Russell.

This is not something that can be achieved by "Andrei's optimism".

It is Russell's strength, not his abilities.

They had learned of Russell's rampage on the Dream Clan battlefield through various means.

Only the strong earn respect.

Although Russell had only been a second-tier wizard for a short time, he was already considered to be on the same level as them.

This is also why Evelyn invited Russell.

She wouldn't invite a burden.
