Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 196 You are excellent

"Hey!!!"

The giant mouth that was about to touch Thor's head was suddenly attracted by the holy oil revealed by the small porcelain bottle, and the seemingly clumsy fat worm changed direction in an instant.

It was as if it had been injected with adrenaline; it first contracted, then expanded, so fast that it was just a blur.

The insect's enormous mouth suddenly opened in mid-air, and it was not much smaller than its elephant-like body.

Victor couldn't move quickly enough; he could only look up and watch as a gigantic maw descended like the darkness of night!

"boom!!!!"

The massive impact destroyed the stone steps, sending shards flying that stung Sol's cheek.

But he had no time to appreciate the beautiful sight of Victor being devoured, nor to feel the pain in his skin.

The moment the worm leaped up, he turned and ran.

He strode past the wizard Kron, who was practically a pile of mud, and Swann, who was standing there staring and crying, and rushed into the depths of the corridor.

The small algae, with several tentacles severed, rapidly contracted behind him, sliding back into Thor's nape like slurping noodles.

At the end of the corridor, Saul unsurprisingly saw a passage leading underground.

It was a large gate built on the ground, covered with runes.

Just as Morton analyzed, the castle's laboratory was indeed built underground.

But as soon as Thor stopped, he looked at the door in front of him and was puzzled.

The entrance to the basement was sealed with a magical spell.

Although the flow of magic above was already very slow, Thor could still tell that the magic circle was protecting the entire gate and preventing outsiders from entering.

Thor's eyes darted between the array runes, but he had absolutely no clue how to break it.

The more he looked, the more dizzy he felt.

The corridor behind them wasn't too long; once the worms had digested Victor, they might chase after them in.

The wizard Kron was clearly on his last legs, and Swan was even less able to withstand the human-faced worms.

If Thor can't find a way in or another escape route, it probably won't be long before he sees the death warning in the diary again.

"With my current knowledge, there's no way I can break this magic array. If we were to force our way in..." Thor gave a wry smile, "I'm afraid only the Tower Master could get in, right?"

"Is this the trouble the Tower Master asked me to solve? This isn't dangerous at all! If I hadn't had the diary to help me deduce a way out, I would definitely have met a certain death!"

Thor looked around again. There were a few more houses at the end of the corridor, but they were all ordinary rooms and there was no way to hide there.

Looking at the entrance before him, Thor suddenly said, "Brother Diary, could you please ask Lord Morton to come out?"

Saul wanted to try a new approach, but he didn't know if it would work.

However, the exit is currently blocked. If Thor wants to escape, he either needs to enter the basement and use the magic circle of this formal wizard to resist the enemy, or he needs to break through the wall.

However, the latter means that the commotion Thor makes will definitely attract the enemy, thus eliminating the opportunity to continue exploring.

Saul hadn't forgotten that his main purpose in coming here was to find clues related to the diary.

But who knew that upon entering Ralph Manor, they would encounter the mysterious and eccentric Victor, and now they are being chased by a giant bug.

Thor felt that the danger here had long exceeded the scope of the Tower Master's warnings.

This may be Thor's last chance to explore Ralph Manor.

"What is it now? Actually, I really don't want to answer your question. I am the Emperor of the Kema Empire, a second-tier wizard. How can I be a mentor to a second-tier apprentice?"

Thor ignored Morton's sarcastic remark. "Lord Morton, can you see the magic circle on the ground?"

What are you looking at? It's pitch black here, there's nothing there.

As expected, the consciousness within the diary could not perceive the outside world.

But the diary can convey Saul's thoughts.

So...

Thor simply closed his eyes and used his mental power to directly draw the magic circle on the ground.

Soon, several veins popped out on his forehead, and fine beads of sweat emerged from his pores.

A few seconds later, what emerged from the pores turned into bright red blood beads.

Thor suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes bloodshot, his black pupils trembling as he endured immense pain.

"Well!!!"

He clenched his teeth, the metallic scent emanating from his mouth.

At this moment, Thor's head was throbbing with pain, and in his daze, he seemed to see a needle being stuck into his brain, and it was the kind of thick needle that surgeons use.

After the needle pierced Saul's brain, it continued to pull out his brain matter, making Saul feel as if his life was escaping through the eye of the needle.

But Thor knew he couldn't give up now.

He had almost completely drawn out the magic circle on the ground using his spiritual body.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

As the last line was completed, Thor seemed to hear the sound of flesh tearing apart.

He exhaled sharply.

"Huff...huff...Lord Morton...can you...can you see me?"

【…】

"Young man, I don't know who you are. But you're quite impressive, truly impressive. A second-level apprentice, yet you dare to depict such a complex magical array within your spiritual body. I believe that, barring an accident, your legend will surely resonate throughout the wizarding world."

Thor gave another bitter smile; people are forced to do things.

The spell rune array I just drew seems to have taken a long time, but in fact it took less than a minute.

Short time does not mean easy or simple.

If Thor cannot complete the mental mapping within a short time, the entire array will be disconnected, and he will have to start all over again.

"Lord Morton, could you possibly break this magic circle?"

[This formation isn't particularly sophisticated, just rather unique, utilizing a new connection pattern between the runes. I need to ask you, to what extent do you intend to decipher it? If it's a complete analysis, allowing for free adaptation and transformation, then even I would need several days.]

"As long as we can open the door sealed by this witchcraft circle, we can close it again."

"Okay, I need... two hours."

"I'm sorry, Lord Morton, I may only have a few minutes left."

Maybe not even a few minutes.

The corridor behind Thor was still relatively quiet, but he didn't know when the human-faced worm would become interested in it.

Maybe in the next minute, maybe in the next second.

Thor could only hope that the Death Wizard's Diary's early warning would buy him a few more minutes.

[If I have such a short time, I can only forcibly break the seal by destroying it, but when you close the gate, the seal won't be as strong as it was originally.]

Thor gritted his teeth and glanced back at the dark corridor.

He can't hear anything now, but he can vaguely hear the sound of fat squeezing and wriggling, accompanied by his heartbeat, and bubbles wrapped in white smoke rising up.

Thor licked his chapped lips and decided to go underground first.

"Then I'll leave it to you; I don't have much time."

This time Morton remained silent, and the black pages fell silent as well.

Thor quickly took this opportunity to begin meditating.

Because he was in a dangerous area, he could not engage in fully immersive meditation. He could only use semi-immersive meditation to quickly recover the mental and magical energy he had just consumed.

His headache hadn't lessened, but fortunately he'd gotten used to it.

Even the best swimmers can drown.

Thor possesses a powerful psychic ability, but it is also his psychic ability that is most frequently injured.

"When I get back this time, I must have a serious talk with Gorsa. Even if you're going to raise poisonous insects, you can't do it like this! If I don't give him some benefits, he'll definitely quit again."

While trying to ignore his headache by letting his mind wander, Thor also worked hard to heal the damage to his mental body.

Finally, new writing appeared in the diary before Saul's eyes.

[It's done. Opening it is simple; just use magic to connect these nodes to open the gate.]

A complex white pattern appeared before Thor's eyes.

Thor glanced at it and suddenly felt that the pattern looked familiar.

At that moment, the diary seemed to understand his thoughts and feelings, and suddenly turned over, allowing Saul to see the cover of the diary.

That white pattern is exactly the same as a pattern on the cover of the diary!

Third update! Happy Lantern Festival!!!
