Wizard Earl

This thought filled Connor with doubt, but he had no time to dwell on it. The energy array's suction was intensifying; he could only struggle within it for a few more seconds. His spell was already formed, ready to be unleashed. If Connor hesitated any longer, he might not have a chance to cast it.

A resolute look appeared on his face as Connor made his decision. Instead of attacking the energy vortex to his left, he unleashed a black slash of light towards the unknown energy source five meters ahead, as indicated by the auxiliary chip! Exhausted from casting his spell, Connor was pulled by the energy array's suction and dragged onto the floor tiles of the secret vault, unable to move. At this moment, defenseless and pressed against the floor, Connor seemed to understand Reyes's purpose in setting up this energy array…

"Bang!"

Under Connor's watchful gaze, the black light slash struck the energy source. With a crisp sound, as if something had been shattered, the entire energy array collapsed instantly, and the enormous suction force generated by the gathering of countless energy vortices gradually dissipated.

Ten minutes later, the energy array completely lost its effect, and Connor finally regained his freedom. He stood up from the floor tiles, took out an energy-restoring potion from his spatial ring, and meditated for a few minutes. Only then did he feel that the feeling of being completely exhausted had lessened, and his mana had resumed circulating in his body.

After doing all this, Connor limped towards the spot five meters ahead of him. The paving stones there had already been shattered into countless fragments and even stone dust by Connor's black light. Seeing this, Connor didn't say anything, but simply waved his hand lightly, and a gust of wind blew by, blowing the fragments and stone dust aside. Then, Connor carefully began to dig under the paving stones, as if something extraordinary was hidden beneath them.

After digging for nearly a minute, Connor finally unearthed some crystal fragments from under the floor tiles. Although they had been broken into pieces, it was still possible to vaguely discern that these fragments were originally a crystal ball about the size of a fist. It seemed that this crystal ball was the unknown energy source mentioned by the auxiliary chip, which was also the weak point of the energy array that had almost harmed Connor.

After carefully examining the crystal fragments and realizing what the crystal ball was, Connor's face gradually contorted into a grimace. In his vision, the crystal fragments seemed to have transformed into Reyes's refined face.

"Bang!"

Connor unleashed a punch, and with a muffled thud, all the crystal shards were obliterated by the enraged Connor, leaving not a trace. Even after doing this, Connor's anger and killing intent were still not completely vented. His face twisted in a ferocious grimace, he said in a vicious, deep voice, "Reyes, I will make you pay! I will!"

The crystal fragments that Connor just unearthed are called the Bolsa Crystal Ball. It is a magical artifact created thirty years ago by Bolsa, a second-level wizard and the president of the Dark Energy Society, a black wizard organization of the Persis Empire, and a mysterious alchemist.

Rumors circulate in the wizarding world that twenty years ago, within the territory of the Persis Empire, the power of the ancient Byzantine wizarding tower ruins, the Tonali Secret Realm, weakened. Fifteen formal wizards, including Polsa, used their own methods to venture into the Tonali Secret Realm, hoping to obtain the treasures of the ancient Byzantine wizarding world within. Within the secret realm, a strange treasure called the Soul-Eating Flower appeared. The exact nature of this Soul-Eating Flower's mystical effects is unknown, but the fifteen formal wizards who entered the realm engaged in a bloody battle over it!

The details of this bloody battle are unknown to outsiders, but of the fifteen formal wizards who broke into the Tonali Secret Realm, only nine came out of the secret realm. Six of them were famous and powerful formal wizards in the wizarding world, and they were left forever in the Tonali Secret Realm because of the Soul-Eating Flower!

Of the nine people who emerged, all were injured. However, no one knew the source of the Soul-Devouring Flower, the core of their struggle. It was unknown whether it had been taken out of the Tonali Secret Realm or who had it fallen into. Although the Dark Energy Guild leader, Polsa, was fortunate enough to escape from the Tonali Secret Realm, his injuries were extremely severe and essentially incurable. He could only delay his death as much as possible.

Knowing his days were numbered, Borsa, on his deathbed, could not bear that his Dark Energy Society, which he had founded, would fall apart and vanish like most dark wizard organizations after his death. So, he used his entire fortune as a bargaining chip to persuade a certain alchemy master to cooperate with him.

Borsa gave up on prolonging his life for another decade or so, and deliberately dispersed his power. The alchemy master he had invited collected the energy that Borsa had dispersed, and with the help of various rare materials, he crafted the Borsa Crystal Ball! After dispersing his power, Borsa could no longer suppress the injuries on his body, and died on the spot.

As for this enchanted item that Borsa, a second-level wizard, created by sacrificing his life, its function is very singular, with only one purpose: inheritance!

Using the Polsa Crystal Ball, in conjunction with a certain energy array, one can inherit a portion of Polsa's cultivation accumulated over two hundred years. Although it is only a portion of his cultivation, its effects are still astonishing!

Costa, the vice president of the Dark Energy Society and Borsa's cousin, used Borsa's crystal ball to go from a newly promoted first-level wizard to a peak first-level wizard in a short period of time. After Borsa's death, although the Dark Energy Society's reputation and power plummeted, the existence of Costa, a peak first-level wizard, preserved the organization's existence and prevented it from splitting.

While the power of Polsa's crystal ball is incredibly extraordinary, it is also subject to the principle of energy conservation in the wizarding world. Although using Polsa's crystal ball grants immense power in a short period, it results in incompatibility with one's own cultivation because it inherits the cultivation of others. Although various methods can be used to reduce or avoid the rejection reaction in the future, using Polsa's crystal ball will prevent one's cultivation from advancing even an inch for life!

Legend has it that Borza, having exhausted all his power, only managed to forge one Borza Crystal Ball, which was used by his cousin Costa. But now, the facts are before Connor, telling him that the rumors are wrong. A second Borza Crystal Ball has appeared, and Connor Ferguson was almost forced to use it and receive a portion of Borza's power!
