Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 380 Between Black and White (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Kongsa's attack was even more terrifying than Thor had imagined.

By now, Thor realized that he had not underestimated Kongsa, but rather the Elf King's head she had obtained.

She seemed to have borrowed the power of this head, forcefully ordering the Ancient Soul-Eating Swamp to attack the palace it should not have set foot in.

The furniture that suddenly "came to life" in the palace rushed forward to defend against the tentacles' attack.

But how could they possibly be a match for those enormous tentacles that are several meters thick?

In no time, several pieces of furniture fell apart and lay scattered on the ground.

The palace gates were already too crowded with black tentacles; one tentacle even broke through the wall next to the gate.

The sturdy walls collapsed under the enormous impact, crushing the lively furniture and decorations in the process.

Soon, almost the entire wall at the palace gate was breached, and Kongsa, who had been standing outside the gate, finally stepped forward and re-entered the palace.

No matter how fiercely the tentacles and furniture around her fought, Kongsha's beautiful eyes remained fixed on Thor.

There was no transfer whatsoever.

Upon seeing Kongsa enter the palace grounds, Thor immediately retreated, took off, and flew straight towards the next hall.

Behind him, furniture kept appearing to block the flying tentacles, but with the furniture's abilities, it could only buy him a few seconds.

"Fortunately, Kongsha has the Soul-Eating Demon Swamp, so at least I've found some help."

Using the furniture in the palace as a shield, Thor finally flew to the last hall.

However, when he arrived here, he was stunned.

The two staircases in the last hall have completely disappeared!

"The stairs have all disappeared, and you still expect me to bring the treasure?" Thor found it ridiculous. "Fortunately, I never place all my hopes on others."

He landed on the ground and turned around.

Meanwhile, Kongsha had already leisurely walked to the eighth hall.

The two looked at each other across the archway.

Kongsha found it amusing to see Thor's calm expression.

In her eyes, Thor was now at his wit's end, yet he was still trying to remain calm.

She wanted to see Saul's terrified expression, just like when he knocked on her bedroom door years ago.

"Do you know why I was able to stay here for half a year even after taking the elf's treasure?"

Thor silently mobilized his spiritual body, magic surging throughout his body. "It seems I underestimated the treasure you stole."

With the help of the ancient Soul Devouring Swamp, Thor cannot possibly fight Kongsa head-on.

He stared intently at Kong Sha and the ancient Soul-Devouring Swamp creatures peeking out behind her, wanting to attack but restrained by Kong Sha, and gathered magic power in his hands.

Now, if he wants to defeat Kongsa, he has to find another battlefield.

However, just as Thor was about to cast his spell, the pressure in the surrounding air suddenly increased dramatically. He felt as if he had been instantly submerged hundreds of meters underwater, and every bone and muscle in his body was protesting under the immense strain.

At the same time, the walls around the hall collapsed outwards with a roar, sending up clouds of dust.

The wall above Thor's head suddenly rose higher and flew to an infinite distance, where it could no longer be seen.

Kongsa, who was confronting him in the eighth hall, along with the black tentacles behind her, disappeared as the smoke and dust dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, Thor's front, back, left, right, and top of his head were completely replaced by darkness.

However, even though there was no light, he could see everything clearly.

He was still standing on the brick floor of the ninth hall. The patterns and cracks remained unchanged.

In the surrounding darkness, it seemed as if a gaze was being cast from a great distance.

"Where is this...?" Thor was startled again. This ninth hall had suddenly turned into a place he was very familiar with—the Consciousness Platform!

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't yet clasped his hands together, if it weren't for the difference in the platform beneath his feet, and if it weren't for the lack of starlight above and around him, Thor would have really thought that he had entered the consciousness platform ahead of time!

But he knew this wasn't the place!

As Thor cautiously observed his surroundings, countless overlapping voices echoed in his mind.

The moment he heard those sounds, Thor's head throbbed with pain, and he collapsed to his knees, barely managing to stay upright.

The voices kept trying to squeeze into his brain, like pumping air into a balloon that was already inflated to its limit. Thor felt like his brain was about to be squeezed into mush.

Fortunately, the chaotic and disordered sounds gradually adjusted, the disordered rhythm slowly returned to normal, and Thor finally understood the meaning of those words.

That's High Elf language!

He had never learned the language; it was the voice's owners who, through thousands of repetitions and persuasion, forcefully crammed the language into Saul's mind.

"Take the king...out of the valley...to find...the half-elf..."

"Take the king...out of the valley...to find...the half-elf..."

However, although Saul was forced to learn an extremely complex magical language within seconds, the speaker's sanity was not entirely sound.

Although Saul could understand every word, he didn't quite grasp their intentions.

Do they want him to leave the valley with the Elf King's head, or with Kongsa?

If the intention was to get the head or Kongsa out of the valley from the beginning, then why seal it off and trap these apprentices for more than half a year?

And who is the half-elf? Where is he?

The most important question is: what if Saul disagrees?

"Brother Thor!" Suddenly, Penny's voice also rang in Thor's mind.

It also speaks High Elven.

Its sound was so distant, it was as if two people were communicating on a phone with a terrible signal, and Saul was forced to wear earplugs.

"Penny!" Thor tried to respond.

"Brother Thor...we can't...take him out!"

"Absolutely not!"

Penny's muffled voice sounded anxious.

"You mean we can't take the Elf King's head out?"

However, Penny did not respond to Saul after that.

"Take the king...out of the valley...to find...the half-elf..."

"Take the king...out of the valley...to find...the half-elf..."

All that remained around Thor were those chaotic, out-of-tune voices, which continued to ring out like commands.

He unfolded the diary in his mind, enduring the immense pressure around him, and asked Agu, whose pages had turned back into black pages.

"Is this the same black room you were taken to before?"

Agu saw the outside world through Saul's sharing, and he immediately wrote excitedly.

The room I went to was completely dark; I couldn't see anything. But Master, I recognized those voices! This is definitely the room where I was taken to receive orders!

"This room disappeared after I chose the Twisted Staircase. It seemed to be deliberately avoiding me, so why has it suddenly reappeared now and given me a quest that's completely opposite to the Pure White Throne?"

Thor recalled the scene of Kongsa leading the black tentacles into the palace.

The two sides are clearly in a confrontation.

"Could it be that the elves of the Forest of Four Seasons have also split into two factions, and that the power of the Pure White Throne is being suppressed due to Kongsha's invasion, which is why the Black Room appeared and forcefully issued me a mission?"

Thinking about this gave Solton a headache.

"So, even if I lure Kongsha here, the Pure White Throne still won't be able to reclaim its treasures?"

"You order a dish, I cook it, and then I have to feed it to you?" Thor was speechless. "If that's really the case, I might as well just accept the Black Room mission!"

Of course, Thor was just making a comment; his intuition told him that the Elf King's head was something he absolutely couldn't bring outside!

Just then, the darkness surrounding Sol was suddenly stained white. The black and white forces began to devour each other before his eyes, and the space trembled and became extremely unstable.

"Splash!"

Like the sound of a mirror shattering, the black and white background world vanished in the next second.

Saul returned to the ninth rotunda of the palace.

But the next second, a cone-shaped icicle suddenly pierced his left arm.

Thor, who hadn't yet recovered from the illusory world he had just been in, was suddenly knocked down.

The icicles continued their momentum, embedding themselves directly into the brick floor and pinning Thor firmly to the ground.

Second update!
