Wizard Earl

Chapter 283 Infection with an Unknown Virus

The eerie vines that had just been frantically spewing out dark red liquid, corroding Connor's defensive barrier to the point of collapse, immediately turned a decaying grayish-white color the moment Connor cast the undead spell that entangled their dark red bodies. Within seconds, they withered completely and fell to the ground.

Connor was quite satisfied with the power of the undead entanglement he had released. A cold smile appeared on his lips. Without the slightest hesitation, he pointed his finger at the bronze-masked man in the distance. Under his control, the undead that had just destroyed the dark red vines rushed straight towards him.

Faced with Connor's bizarre and terrifying undead attack, the bronze-masked man showed no panic. He lightly tapped the bronze mask on his face, and instantly a grayish-white mist rose around him. As soon as the mist appeared, Connor's expression changed drastically. His mental power was severely restricted within the mist. For a mental wizard, such a blow was absolutely fatal!

Not only that, the undead that Connor had driven towards the bronze-masked man also missed their target in the grayish-white smoke, failing to even touch a hair on the bronze-masked man! This sudden turn of events made the ever-cautious Connor immediately recall the undead to his side.

Connor activated his defensive barrier to its maximum, cautiously observing his surroundings and wary of the bronze-masked men lurking nearby who might launch a sneak attack at any moment. With his mental power restricted, he dared not blindly break through the gray-white mist, fearing he might fall into some trap or trickery!

This situation lasted for more than a minute. Just as the grayish-white mist began to dissipate, the bronze-masked man still did not reappear. This made Connor very puzzled. Despite his puzzlement, Connor did not let his guard down since the other party had not launched a sneak attack. His defensive barrier remained in place. However, Connor's caution seemed to be unnecessary, because the mysterious bronze-masked man did not reappear until the grayish-white mist completely dissipated!

Without the grayish-white mist restricting his mental power, Connor was able to unleash his full, powerful mental strength. After confirming with his mental power that the mysterious bronze-masked man had escaped and there were no threats around, Connor gradually relaxed and withdrew the defensive barrier protecting him.

Although he couldn't understand why the mysterious bronze-masked man didn't attack in the obviously advantageous gray-white mist but chose to leave, it was an acceptable result for Connor. After all, after a series of exchanges, even though he had used his trump card, the Undead Entanglement, Connor still hadn't seen an opportunity to kill his opponent. So, it was better for them to stop fighting than to continue.

After finishing his business there, Connor quietly sneaked back to Imperial Department Store. However, after all the commotion, he naturally had no desire to continue shopping. After reverting to his original appearance, he drove his carriage, loaded with supplies, back to his apartment at 16 Land Street in the East District.

"Beep! Warning! Warning! The main body's divine sea is being infected by an unknown virus. The main body must be careful, must be careful!"

The day after returning from the Imperial Department Store, just as Connor was about to settle down for meditation as usual, the cool, clear female voice of his auxiliary chip immediately echoed in his mind…

The sound immediately startled Connor. His mind was infected by an unknown virus? But he didn't feel any problem with his mental power. Although he didn't notice anything wrong, given his long-standing trust in the omnipotence of the auxiliary chip, this warning still aroused Connor's high vigilance and attention!

Connor immediately conducted a thorough examination of his mind. The first examination found no problems, and the second examination also found no problems. The fact that no problems were found in the first two examinations did not make Connor complacent. He persisted and began an even more thorough examination than the previous two, and this time he finally found the source of the problem!

Deep within his ocean, in a place that is not easily noticed, a small grayish-white dot is faintly emerging. Although this grayish-white dot is very clear, and it is difficult to spot without careful examination, no one can deny that this thing has appeared in Connor's divine sea!

Without a doubt, this sudden grayish-white dot in the deep sea is the unknown virus that infected Connor in the deep sea, which the auxiliary chip had just warned him about.

The small, grayish-white dot immediately reminded Connor of the strange grayish-white mist that had restricted his mental power yesterday. As soon as he thought of it, a thought immediately arose in Connor's mind: the mysterious bronze-masked man hadn't ambushed him in the grayish-white mist yesterday, could he be waiting here to set a trap for him?

Thinking of this, Connor took a deep breath. Regardless of whether the virus was a trap set by the bronze-masked man, all he could do now was to grit his teeth and move forward, and see if he could eliminate the virus in the divine sea while it was still small!

Discarding all distracting thoughts, Connor entered a state of deep meditation. He then slowly began to practice the advanced meditation technique he was cultivating, "Abyss Meditation," within his mind. He wanted to see if he could use the self-healing ability of meditation to cure and eliminate this unknown virus.

Connor's idea was good, but reality was beyond his expectations. As Connor practiced his meditation, the small gray dot in the deep sea not only failed to heal but instead expanded, albeit very slightly. Realizing this, Connor thought for a moment and immediately decided to abandon the method and stop practicing the deep-sea abyss meditation.

Over the next period of time, Connor tried several different treatments in an attempt to get rid of the grayish-white dot in his deep sea. However, to his despair, these treatments only made the grayish-white dot, which was initially faintly visible, become clearly visible. Apart from that, they did not help with the treatment and recovery of the virus infection in his divine sea!
