Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 133 Initiative

Of course!

Thor nodded repeatedly, his eyes even showing anticipation.

Although his job required him to leave the East Tower before eight o'clock, since the entire Wizard Tower's leaders were here, who would care about such a rule?

"Let's go inside and talk," Gorsa said, raising his chin slightly.

Thor looked back following the tower master's directions and found that he and the tower master had returned to the second floor of the East Tower, in front of the third morgue.

Just then, the giant opened the scarlet door and pushed the cart out.

The moment he saw Gorza behind Thor, his entire body froze, as if he had been petrified.

Thor, standing before him, could sense the giant's emotions shifting from terror to collapse.

Gorza simply waved his hand, signaling the giant to continue working.

Upon receiving the order, the giant immediately put down his foot and continued pushing the cart to continue working.

But his movements were incredibly stiff, and his limbs were rusted as if they hadn't been oiled in years.

After watching the giant enter the depths of the corridor in a strange posture, Thor followed Gorsa into the morgue.

When he went in, Gorza was already standing in front of his lab table, looking at Saul's lab equipment and notes.

Hearing Thor walk in, Gorsa turned around and asked with a smile, "May I see your notes?"

Thor nodded quickly, "Of course."

He disposed of it before leaving the morgue, as it was not meant to be shown to outsiders.

Gorsa picked up Thor's notebook, which he used to record experiments on witch body modification, and flipped through it casually.

Saul became even more nervous, feeling a sense of unease as if the principal were personally grading his homework.

Gorsa quickly put Thor's notes back in their place, turned to face Thor, and leaned against the table.

He laughed and said, "Now you realize that the soul is a very interesting thing, right?"

Is it interesting? For a powerful wizard like the Tower Master, it must be interesting.

Thor gave a fawning smile and nodded obsequiously.

"The skin modification, originally intended to enhance magic power, unexpectedly formed a new type of spiritual ester after a few soul fragments were added. The idea is somewhat peculiar, but overall there are no major problems."

"To my surprise, you're already able to remove impurities to improve the quality of the spirit ester. I thought I'd have to wait until you advanced to level two and learned about this before I could delve into this field."

Gorsa clapped his hands lightly. "Your progress always exceeds my expectations. You've completed the witch body transformation through self-study, and even upgraded and purified the spirit ester. I've heard that you're also very skilled in witchcraft, far surpassing your peers."

Thor felt no shame in the face of the tower master's praise.

Although his success was inseparable from his diary and Xiaozao, it was even more inseparable from his own continuous efforts and his courage to risk his life.

Gorsa beckoned to Thor, "As a reward, feel free to ask if you have any questions about your studies."

This time it was Thor's turn to be surprised.

But after the initial surprise, his mind went blank, and for a moment he didn't know what to ask.

After gathering his thoughts, Thor finally asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time, "Lord Tower Master, are you aware of an evil spirit in the library?"

To everyone's surprise, Gorza tilted his head and denied it, saying, "There are no evil spirits in the library. I don't want the apprentices in the tower to die so meaninglessly."

He chuckled softly. "If you're talking about the fourteenth bookshelf... that's your fear, not an evil spirit."

"My fear?" Thor never expected this answer.

He was quite startled when he first saw the person lying under the bookshelf. He went to check again later and saw the person lying there again.

Thor couldn't see the man's face clearly, nor did he know if the man was dead or alive, but he still dared not approach him.

As soon as he gets close, he feels his heart race, his breathing quicken, and he even breaks out in a cold sweat.

"Is it because I have a preconceived notion that there are books about evil spirits there, so I think there are ghosts there?" Thor muttered to himself.

"You're actually afraid of ghosts?" Gorsa slowly turned his neck, his gaze sweeping over the morgue where Thor worked. "This... is somewhat unexpected."

Following Gorsa's gaze, Thor looked at his workspace, which resembled a crime scene and a classic haunted house, and felt a little embarrassed.

Can he explain that what he fears are the ghosts in those ghost movies from his past life, ghosts that are simply unsolvable?

But Lord Gorsata didn't mock him for this. Instead, he asked seriously, "Thor, do you remember the definition of a ghost in the knowledge of all things?"

"What cannot be completely controlled by subjective consciousness is a ghost; what can be controlled by other subjective consciousnesses is a monster."

"Yes, but most importantly, it is the combination of a extinguished spiritual body and consciousness. I call this composite form of spiritual body and consciousness the soul."

Thor listened attentively and suddenly felt that the tower master was very much like his teacher at this moment, easily steer the topic back to the lesson content.

"You asked me if there are evil spirits in the library, is it because you're going to borrow books?"

"Yes," Thor admitted.

Because of his research on spirit esters, he needed to look at the books there, but because of the human body that resembled an evil spirit, Thor dared not get too close.

He never imagined that the human body lying on the bookshelf was his own fear. He had always thought that the evil spirit's knowledge was beyond his current strength, which was why it appeared so dangerous.

Gorsa interlaced his fingers. "Then let me ask you another question. If you really encounter an evil spirit, how do you fight it off?"

……

"If I really encounter an evil spirit, how should I fight it?" Thor closed his eyes and asked himself this question again.

He remembers that he gave three answers at the time.

The first method involves defeating the enemy by force. It directly crushes the evil spirit's spiritual body, depletes the evil spirit's energy, and forces it to dissipate.

The principle behind using level 0 sorcery to attack undead is this.

The second method is to eradicate it from consciousness. This involves causing the evil spirit's already incomplete consciousness to dissipate, either actively or passively.

This is why some evil spirits automatically dissipate after their obsessions are satisfied.

The third method was Thor's sudden inspiration, which was a combination of the first two methods.

When the evil spirit is weaker than oneself, one can naturally choose either the first or the second option.

However, if the evil spirit is too powerful to defeat, the first method is ineffective, and the second requires time and opportunity; neither can effectively deal with the evil spirit that is right in front of you.

Thor recalled his past experience of using spirit esters and a diary to imprison fragments of Sid's soul and consciousness, and wondered if he could actively lure the spirit into the spirit esters, separating its consciousness and spiritual body, and then find a way to eliminate them separately.

This idea is merely a theoretical guess, and achieving it is no easier than defeating an enemy of a higher level.

But when Gorsa heard Thor's third proposal, he paused for a few seconds, then began to chuckle softly, his voice gradually growing louder until it almost echoed throughout the second floor of the East Tower.

This was the first time Thor had ever seen the Tower Master exhibit such a strong emotional shift.

He couldn't understand why the tower master was laughing, and could only stare blankly at him, trying to discern whether the tower master's emotions contained mockery or joy.

Even now, Thor still doesn't know why the Tower Master is laughing so exaggeratedly.

But the tower master still affirmed his idea, only saying, "This solution is difficult to achieve."

That night, the tower master came over, patted Thor on the shoulder, and told him, "But wizards should challenge difficulties. I'm satisfied with your answer. When you advance to level two, I'll give you a reward."

Thor doesn't know what reward the Tower Master will give him, but he knows that if he can't defeat this evil spirit today, he won't see any reward.

Thor closed his eyes, and the laboratory and the tower master in front of him all disappeared.

He opened his eyes again and found himself in complete darkness, his hands and feet numb and unable to move.

Fortunately, I can still feel my hands and feet.

"I'm not dead?"

"I tried everything, but I couldn't even stop the evil spirit from getting close. I can only say that it is indeed a formal wizard-level evil spirit. Even though it is not complete, it can still kill me with ease."

"But I didn't die... He possessed me?"

"No!" Thor struggled to stretch his limbs, trying to regain control of his body. "No! He didn't possess me!"

A force enters the body from the brain and then gradually spreads into the limbs.

The warmth restored sensation to my limbs.

Thor sat up abruptly.

"It wasn't that he possessed me, but that I actively channeled him into my body! into the spiritual essence! It was I... who actively absorbed him!"
