Wizard Immortal

Chapter 35 Aftermath

Ripples flashed across the surrounding space.

Before your eyes, a woman, seemingly a ghost, let out a scream, carrying an eerie power that struck straight to the depths of one's soul.

Adir felt a deafening roar in his ears, as if something had hit his head, and his consciousness was thrown into a state of chaos.

Despite his blurred consciousness, his long-trained combat instincts remained. Sensing danger, he instinctively swung his longsword forward, unleashing a sharp flash of light in front of him, attempting to repel the enemy before him.

The two figures clashed quickly, and with a sharp gust of wind, Adir's longsword pierced straight into the other's body without any resistance.

"What?"

Adir was taken aback by what he saw.

The sword in his hand pierced straight into the other's body, but it didn't touch anything solid, as if it had hit a wisp of air.

The next moment, a tremendous pain came, accompanied by an extreme chill.

"Unknown force field detected. Please move away immediately!" The mechanical voice of the chip sounded again in my mind.

Adir moved his feet and instantly covered several meters, moving far away from his original spot.

He gasped for breath, looking at the terrifying ghost before him with lingering fear, still shaken by the feeling he had just experienced.

"That feeling... if I hadn't reacted in time, I really would have died!"

The thought flashed through his mind as he recalled the feeling he had just experienced, and his gaze grew increasingly serious.

Just now, Adir's entire body was enveloped by the opponent's power. He only felt a chill and pain strike him in an instant, and then his consciousness began to blur. He stood there blankly, completely at the mercy of his opponent.

If it weren't for the chip's notification sound that momentarily brought him to his senses, he probably would have remained in that state until he was killed by the ghost in front of him.

Recalling what had just happened, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Physical attacks are ineffective... Isn't it a physical entity?"

A deep, intense pain kept coming from within my body, not from the physical body itself, but more like a mental or psychological injury.

A series of whistling sounds came from the side, accompanied by a woman's sharp scream, making one instinctively tremble.

If an ordinary person were standing here, the sound alone would be enough to kill them, turning them into a vegetable, without the ghost even needing to lift a finger.

Compared to ordinary people, Adir is much more resistant to this kind of sound, but he still finds it very uncomfortable.

He mustered his strength and slowly began to move, dodging a claw that came at him from the side.

A faint green tinge slowly appeared on the black longsword, and his life energy was instantly unleashed as he slashed fiercely to the side.

what! ! !

A terrifying scream rang in my ears, and a slight wound appeared on the body of the terrifying ghost, with black energy gradually dissipating, like blood flowing out.

"efficient!"

Adir endured the intense roar in his ears and quickly moved to the side.

After being slashed by a sword, the terrifying ghost before him seemed to go berserk, frantically chasing after Adir's dodging figure.

They chased each other here, two afterimages moving rapidly around, covering an unknown distance in a short time.

bump!

Suddenly, a loud rumble came from the house behind them, and amidst the ghost's howl, it collapsed.

Adir swung his sword backward, creating a gust of wind that swept aside the part of the building that was about to fall towards him.

After making this move, his movements inevitably paused for a moment, which the ghost in front of him seized the opportunity to pounce on.

A familiar feeling washed over him, and as the ghost rapidly approached, a chilling aura enveloped his entire body. Adir felt increasingly exhausted, his consciousness fading, as if he were returning to his previous stiff state.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from the spot.

With a deafening scream, the terrifying ghost's figure staggered backward, a huge crack appearing in its chest.

Adir's aura surged, and the life seed within him suddenly erupted, squeezing out all the life energy in his body and stimulating the power of his entire body to explode.

"Ding! The seed of life has sprouted! The main body is under increased load!" The voice of the chip machine rang out again in my mind.

As the life seed burst forth, Adir's intense discomfort was forcibly suppressed, and his original mental anguish and exhaustion turned into a faint excitement.

However, in this state, his life energy will be rapidly depleted, and if the battle is not ended within a certain time, it will have terrifying consequences for his body.

With this thought in mind, Adir leaned forward and leaped forward, unleashing a massive burst of life energy in mid-air, which ultimately transformed into a heavy blow.

Heavy slash!!!

A terrifying sword beam emerged from beneath Adir's sword, rushing forward with immense pressure, creating a sharp gust of wind in its wake.

This is a knight's secret technique. When the life seed erupts, its power becomes even more terrifying, reaching a superhuman level.

Aaaaaah!!! A terrifying, sharp scream erupted from before our eyes, reaching its peak at that moment.

A crack appeared on his chest. Compared to the small gap before, this time it looked as if his entire body had been cut open, revealing a dark void inside.

Tiny specks of black gas slowly leaked out from the cracks, merging into the surrounding space.

Despite being struck by such an attack, the ghost before them did not perish; instead, it became even more ferocious.

Her rotting face slowly expanded, sharp teeth grew from her mouth, and specks of black mist from her wounds blended into the surrounding air like ink, making her look even more terrifying.

As the ghost before him went berserk, Adi immediately felt an even greater pressure.

He dared not touch the other's body, because that chilling feeling was still there, and it became even more ferocious as the other went berserk, which even the life seed could not completely resist.

However, with the eruption of the life seed, stimulated by the life energy, Adir's overall strength has greatly improved, and he is not without the power to fight even the terrifying ghost that has gone berserk in front of him.

The sword in his hand danced in the air, and as the sword wind surged outward, life energy was constantly brewing, occasionally creating tiny wounds on the ghostly, ethereal body.

During this process, Adir was inevitably grazed by the opponent's attacks, and his mental injuries were also accumulating, which could erupt at any time.

The two sides entered into a war of attrition to some extent. Whoever couldn't hold out first would be eliminated from the battle and devoured by the other side without leaving a trace.

"The main body's load has reached a critical point. It is recommended to immediately exit the burst state!" The voice of the chip machine sounded again in my mind.

Adir had no interest in paying attention to that voice anymore.

At this moment, his condition was very bad.

The battle has been going on for a long time. With the eruption of the life seed, the life energy in the body is being consumed rapidly, and now it is almost exhausted.

With the life seed bursting forth, all fatigue and pain were temporarily suppressed, but through the chip's constant monitoring, Adir could clearly know that his physical condition had reached a terrible point.

However, the terrifying ghosts were also having a very difficult time in front of him.

After a long battle, her body was riddled with holes, her entire body was broken, and specks of black energy were spreading outward from the wounds.

Although her power is strange, her combat awareness is not as strong as Adir's. When their speeds are similar, her attacks are often dodged by Adir.

"Take two steps to the left, then stab to the right!" The prompt from the chip in my mind rang out.

Hearing this voice, Adir did not hesitate at all. He jumped to the left, dodging a pale claw that the ghost reached out, and then swung his longsword fiercely to the right.

The pale green life energy slowly spread, leaving a new wound on the other person's body.

Having landed a successful blow, Adir immediately moved away from his original position and began to slowly maneuver around his opponent.

With the aid of the chip, coupled with Adir's own superb combat awareness, his fighting was extremely precise, with almost no mistakes.

boom!!!

After an unknown amount of time, a crisp shattering sound rang out, and the ghost in front of them suddenly froze, then let out a deafening scream.

The sound was mixed with negative emotions such as despair, sadness, and hatred, and then it slowly subsided.

Seemingly having finally reached its limit of suffering, the ghost before it could no longer maintain its form, and its entire body transformed into a cloud of black mist that dissipated into the surrounding space and merged into the night.

Watching this scene quietly, Adir breathed a sigh of relief and finally withdrew from the state of life seed burst.

A strong wave of dizziness and exhaustion washed over him. The dual damage to his body and mind, which had been suppressed, erupted at this moment, violently impacting Adir's mind, making him almost want to faint immediately.

"Chip, monitor your body's condition and analyze the results of this life seed eruption!"

Adir endured the pain and exhaustion, his willpower sustaining his physical strength, and then gritted his teeth to give the command to the chip in his mind.

Two or three seconds later, the chip in my mind gave me the answer.

"The burst of life energy has ended, all organs of the body are exhausted, and cell activity begins to decline! The lifespan of the subject is expected to decrease by 10 to 15 years."

Upon hearing this answer, Adir's lips twitched: "At least ten years of lifespan. No wonder knights, though powerful, often don't live long. With such bursts of power time and time again, who can withstand it?"

In fact, a normal life burst, if it ends before the life energy in the body is exhausted, will also cause great damage, but it is far less serious than that of Adir.

The reason Adir suffered such severe aftereffects was entirely due to the damage being too extensive.

Life energy originates from the body itself and is closely connected to life itself.

When the life seed bursts forth, life energy stimulates the body, leading to a comprehensive improvement in a short period. However, if the burst continues after the life energy is depleted, the body will be forcibly exploited, resulting in serious consequences and even permanent damage.

"cough···"

Standing there, Adir couldn't help but cough and spit out a mouthful of blood.

He stood there quietly for a while, and only after his body recovered did he look ahead and walk towards the place where the terrifying ghost had collapsed.

Now that the battle is over, it's time to inspect the spoils of war.
