Wizard Immortal

Chapter 36 Return

"The subject is affected by an unknown force, and physical fitness is beginning to improve..." A mechanical notification sounded in his mind.

A warm current flowed slowly through Adir's body, improving his physical condition and relieving much of the pain and fatigue he felt.

He stood there and estimated that the power gained from killing just this one ghost was enough to be equivalent to hunting several knight-level insect beasts.

However, this is not the whole story; the real rewards are yet to come.

With this in mind, Adir endured the excruciating pain and exhaustion throughout his body and slowly walked forward.

At the spot where the ghost had fallen, he bent down and searched the ground carefully before finally picking up a crystal core.

The crystal core was about the size of a fingernail, and it emitted a pale red glow in the darkness, like a ruby.

"Red?"

Picking up the ruby-like crystal core, Adir muttered to himself in confusion.

Although this crystal core wasn't very large, a tremendous power emanated from it through physical contact, far stronger than any of the crystal cores obtained before.

Adir estimated that this single pale red crystal core was probably worth as much as all the gains he had made this time.

boom!!!

At that moment, a violent tremor came from the front of the village, faintly accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps.

Adir put away the crystal core in his hand and subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.

At the village gate, a huge shadow loomed over a large area, slowly moving toward the center of the village.

Adir's excellent eyesight, inherited from the elves, allowed him to see the true nature of the shadow.

It was a giant, eight or nine meters tall, covered in fat, looking like a huge fat man from a distance, walking towards the village.

The giant's enormous size brought with it immense weight. With each step it took, it left a huge footprint on the ground, and the vibrations could be heard throughout the entire village.

He was holding a huge white bone in his hand, and he swung it fiercely forward.

bump!!!

A loud tremor resounded, and several buildings in front of the giant were swept away, leaving only ruins.

Amidst the wreckage, he reached out his right hand, found several bloody corpses, and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

click!

A crisp sound rang out from the spot; it was the sound of the corpse being chewed, the bones and internal organs breaking apart.

Seeing this scene, Adir felt a chill in his heart.

A monster of this caliber, even if he were at his peak and severely injured, would likely only be a free meal for the monster if he dared to stand in its way.

A sudden sound of footsteps rang out, and Adir abruptly raised his head, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

On the other side, the eight or nine-meter-tall giant seemed to have sensed something unusual. He turned around and stared straight in the direction where Adir was, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, before walking over directly.

He walked very slowly, but relative to his enormous size, even walking slowly, the distance he covered in one step was much faster than the distance an average person could run.

"not good!"

Hearing the footsteps beside him and feeling the faint vibrations beneath his feet, Adir had this thought.

"The road is completely blocked!"

He looked back, and under the cover of night, a strange cry filled the air, as if something was lurking in the darkness, wandering outside the village.

This situation immediately dispelled Adir's idea of ​​using the Life Seed to escape again.

This place has become a hunting ground for all kinds of monsters, and Adir is trapped in it, seemingly in a dead end with no way out.

"It seems this is the only way."

He sighed inwardly, and in an instant, his thoughts connected with the origin of his soul, illuminating one of the coordinates.

In his mind, a glimmer of light slowly appeared, gradually transforming into a real door. As Adir's will slowly opened it, the light within enveloped his entire body, causing his body to slowly become ethereal.

This process will take some time. During this time, Adir cannot move and can only stay quietly in place, waiting for the door to open completely.

Roar! ! !

A frantic growl came from ahead.

As it slowly approached, the giant finally detected Adir's presence ahead and let out an excited growl.

His speed increased rapidly in an instant, and his thighs, thicker than an elephant's, stomped on the ground, leaving deep footprints.

Upon reaching Adir, the giant stretched out his right hand and grabbed downwards, seemingly trying to seize Adir directly.

A strong, pungent stench of decaying corpses mixed with a terrifying stench assaulted the senses. Adir stared at the rotting body and the white fat protruding from the belly, his expression unchanged, only his eyes slowly closing.

bump!

A giant hand slammed down.

The next moment, the giant looked at the black soil in his hand with a puzzled expression and let out a deafening roar.

···········

At night, in an empty room, a figure suddenly appeared.

As the terrifying auras around him vanished, Adir opened his eyes and looked around.

"I'm back···"

He looked around at the familiar scene, feeling somewhat dazed.

The fresh air around us carried a faint fragrance, coming from the potted plants outside the room.

It was already night, and the faint chirping of insects came from all around, creating a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, a completely different world from the terrifying place Adir had been in before.

As if he had thought of something, he reached into a pocket on his waist and pulled out a black crystal core.

A familiar warmth slowly spread from his palms, gradually reaching his entire body, easing his initial fatigue.

"efficient!"

Having confirmed the function of the crystal core in his hand, Adir's eyes flashed with joy, and a great weight was lifted from his heart.

Having hastily returned to this world, Adir was initially worried that the crystal cores would lose their effectiveness, but now that has been confirmed.

"Although it's a bit of a pity, having these few crystal cores should be enough for me to use for a while."

He stood there muttering to himself, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

With a thought, a coordinate slowly appeared in his mind, but it was very dim and did not react to Adir's mental fluctuations.

Upon contact, a message immediately emerged from the very source of the soul.

"It will take at least five more years to accumulate enough energy for one traversal."

As he sensed the information coming into his mind, Adir's expression immediately turned grim.

The previous two time travels had exhausted all the power that Adir had accumulated in his two previous lives. If he wanted to travel again, he would have to start from scratch.

However, the time it took to accumulate energy clearly exceeded Adir's expectations; it was far too long.

"It seems that we won't be able to go to other worlds for a long time to come."

Standing there, Adir shook his head and sighed helplessly.
