Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 270 Looking for a Ship

Thor squinted and looked up at the sky above the town's walls, but he saw no barrier to stop his arrows.

His semi-immersive meditation method for observing spirits and contamination is quite effective, but it's not very useful when it comes to curses.

Since that's the case, he simply used his naked eye to carefully observe the air above the town's city walls.

Finally, between the town and its surroundings, he could vaguely see a transparent, plastic-like outer shell.

This outer shell extends upwards from the city wall, converging in the air to form a hemispherical dome.

But it is not actually hemispherical.

Thor walked to the foot of the city wall and quickly dug a hole half a meter deep.

A transparent barrier was also touched on the ground below the city wall.

"We're trapped, there's nowhere to escape," Thor said, turning to Billy. "Does Senior have any more powerful attacks?"

Angela jumped out and said, "If we all use our strongest attacks and strike the same point at the same time, we might be able to break through the tolerance limit of this transparent wall."

To everyone's surprise, Billy shook his head.

"I just observed the transparent wall under attack and concluded that it can withstand several times the concentrated attack of the Corrosive Claw." His gaze swept over the two of them. "If either of you can cast a level 3 spell or has the corresponding spell scroll, you can give it a try. Otherwise, don't waste your mana."

"If we can't break it by force, there must be other ways to leave, right?" Thor walked back, brushing the dirt off his hands. "Is it only by breaking this curse that we can break the barrier?"

"Theoretically speaking, that's correct." Bill nodded slightly.

The next second, Saul and Billy both looked toward the clock tower in the center of town.

Angela saw Thor and Billy's actions and felt a chill in her heart. "Should we... still go over there?"

She was unwilling to take any risks, so her first reaction was to find a place to hide.

"Unless you can fly indefinitely, there's nowhere to hide," Billy said coldly.

Thor recalled the vengeful spirits and their words after he entered, as well as the increasingly close sound of the tide. "Are you referring to the sound of the water?"

Billy nodded. "I once read about a curse in a book about curses, and the pattern is very similar to this one."

"What?" Angela's eyes lit up immediately. "Then you already have a way to leave here?"

Billy ignored Angela and said to Thor, "The curse is called the Apocalyptic Black Tide. It refers to a black tide that corrodes everything and washes away all living beings and the dead within a designated area. But the problem is, the tide I just saw was blood red."

"Blood red?" Thor's heart skipped a beat. "It seems they've already encountered the waves. But I've been here longer, and all I've heard so far is the sound of the waves. What have they done to actually face them head-on?"

Despite thinking this, Thor outwardly appeared to be still shaken.

"In that case, perhaps we can refer to the method for breaking that curse," Thor said.

"That's what I think too." Billy nodded. "The way to break the curse of the world-destroying black tide is either to violently destroy the energy of the curse, or to find a 'ship' and survive the outbreak of the curse so that we can leave."

"But the curse of the world-destroying black tide can only be broken by a formal wizard. In terms of pure attack power, even if we combine our strength, we are not enough."

"Then we'll have to try the second method," Thor said. "Although this isn't the Black Tide, but the Red Tide, it's still something we can't withstand. If we need to find a suitable 'ship'..."

"Let's go to the clock tower," Billy continued.

Thor and he exchanged a glance, knowing that they had thought of the same thing.

"Do we really have to go back? But we just escaped from there!" Angela clenched her hands anxiously. "What if we encounter those red tides again?"

"We only heard the sound of water, we didn't actually see the red waves," Billy said. "If we encounter them head-on this time, we'll have to find a way to go around them."

After discussing it, the three of them no longer hesitated and headed towards the clock tower together.

Angela didn't run fast, deliberately lagging behind, thinking that if there was any danger, she would let them take the hits first.

However, at that moment, she suddenly noticed that Saul had pulled a small object out of his sleeve and was gesturing at it.

Because he had half his energy devoted to other things, Thor's running speed was noticeably slower than before.

"Could it be that he also wants Billy to be at the front?" Angela was a little curious and suddenly wanted to know what Thor was doing. She twisted her neck and glanced at Thor's hand.

I saw that Saul had what looked like a golden coin in his hand. And Saul was scraping something across the coin.

Just as Angela was becoming increasingly curious about what Thor was doing at this crucial moment, the sound of waves rang out once again.

However, this time it's not just about sound.

Thor looked up briefly and finally saw what a blood-red giant wave looked like.

He had only heard of it but never seen it. The ever-approaching sound of the tide made him realize that he was not far from encountering the red wave.

Countless crimson waves surged toward the tower from all directions of the streets, like a tsunami erupting.

The largest waves can reach over 10 meters high. It's unknown where the tide is hidden before it appears.

Wherever the waves passed, doors and windows shattered, houses collapsed, and debris and vehicles on the street were swept up and carried forward.

Amidst those red waves, Saul even spotted several luxurious carriages and exotic clothing.

"It seems that the ordinary people who accidentally wander into this town don't all end up well, though of course they might not have wandered in by accident..."

Thor glanced at it only once before looking down and continuing to work on his ancient coins.

But to speed things up, he summoned the little algae from the back of his neck, splitting it into four legs that lifted Thor up and allowed him to escape quickly.

Little Algae was incredibly agile; by suspending Thor like this, she was even faster than when Thor was running at full speed.

In order to avoid being hit by the obviously lethal red tide, and also to get to the clock tower as soon as possible, the three began to use their own unique abilities.

Billy suddenly took to the air.

Flight is an essential auxiliary spell for almost every third-level wizard apprentice.

However, flight is a level 2 sorcery, which Thor cannot learn, so he still asked Little Algae to speed it up.

The algae hoisted Thor up again, and its tentacles began to crawl along the wall.

Two childlike phantoms appeared above her feet. The two phantoms hugged her calves, seemingly helping her run.

Speed ​​is not Angela's strong point. Even though the vengeful spirits are desperately helping Angela to save their own supplies, she is still the slowest of the three.

Angela's running speed is indeed not slow, but it's not comparable to Billy and Thor.

Suddenly, as they approached the clock tower, red tides surged from both sides of the intersection ahead, about to converge in front of them and block their path.

At the crucial moment, Billy suddenly descended to a low altitude, grabbed Angela, and carried her into the air.

Billy's speed was affected by Angela, making him slightly slower than Thor, so Thor had already safely crossed the intersection before them.

Billy's flight altitude and speed were significantly affected.

Especially the altitude; the altitude at which he was flying was no longer high enough to carry Angela over the crest of the red tide ahead.

Seeing that he and Angela were about to be caught between the tides on both sides, Angela closed her eyes in fear.

But he still hasn't let go of Angela.

He desperately channeled his magic power, finally managing to increase his speed again. The two of them narrowly escaped before the blood waves merged.

Seeing this, Thor seemed to be deep in thought.

Especially when you see how comfortable Angela is with Billy's help, you know that this is not the first or second time this has happened.

But if you say that Billy helped Angela because they had developed feelings for each other, then it's better to believe that Billy is a kind-hearted person despite his ugly appearance.

Getting used to being helped by others is not a good thing. Even if you tell yourself to be independent, you can easily develop an unconscious dependence on them.

Saul then noticed that Angela's right leg was trembling slightly.

Although he had just been swept away by the waves by Billy, some water still splashed onto her calves.

Seeing the pain on her face, Thor reaffirmed, "She can't be touched by this red tide. If she really gets swallowed up... she'll probably become part of it."
