Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 409 Invasion and Devouring

Heywood is currently only at the level of a first-class apprentice. Thor could easily deal with him.

But Saul ultimately did not adopt this plan.

He suddenly wanted to keep Haywood.

This Haywood possesses an exceptionally clear consciousness and the ability to respond, something that a simple illusion could not achieve.

Thor wanted to know what power created Haywood in this illusion.

After making his decision, he began searching through the room.

Haywood, who was standing to the side, initially just stared at his three candles.

After a while, the commotion around him grew louder and louder, so he couldn't help but peek over with one eye.

Upon seeing this, he turned his entire head around.

"What are you trying to do? Didn't I say we should be quiet at night?"

Saul, however, had already started drawing circles on the ground using materials he had found in the junkyard.

He answered Haywood's questions as he drew.

"I'm drawing a magic circle."

Heywood was initially a little angry, but when he saw the magic circle drawn by Thor, he hesitated and walked over.

Although his strength has diminished, his knowledge remains, and he immediately recognized that Thor's magic circle was not simple.

"Is this a defensive magic circle?" His eyes lit up. Perhaps Thor could offer another way to avoid the pollution in the darkness.

"More or less," Thor replied casually as he continued working, constantly selecting the materials in his hands.

Anyway, he wasn't lying; the best defense is offense!

Heywood became even more interested.

He's not strong enough right now; even if he could draw the magic circle Thor is currently inscribing, he wouldn't be able to activate it at all.

But he had completely forgotten that he could have Thor activate it!

"It seems that the past hundred years have really made my mind stagnate." He hadn't been this excited in a long time.

Heywood clenched his withered hands and leaned closer. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Thor stopped what he was doing and said with a smile, "Of course, there are plenty of materials here, but most of them don't have much energy. I need something like magic crystals that provide magic power. Do you have any more here?"

Haywood's face fell. "The magic crystals have long been used up."

Thor had considered this possibility, so he wasn't too disappointed.

After completing the last rune, he stood by the magic circle, lost in thought.

"This is a special environment, which should be constructed using mental power. So, without sufficient magical power, can I still activate this magic circle using mental power?"

Thor thought it was worth a try, so he immediately stepped onto the magic circle and tried to activate it.

However, the magic circle remained unchanged.

Thor raised an eyebrow. "Magic is actually necessary?"

He couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hand. "Indeed, there's always logic beneath this world. If I hadn't seen the diary, I might have doubted that this was the real world."

That concludes my reflections; Thor still needs to find a suitable source of magic.

He couldn't help but glance at the candles behind Heywood. "Would these be alright? But how do I convince Heywood to let me use these candles?"

Thor hesitated before speaking, "Haywood, I need a sufficiently powerful magical medium..."

"Okay." Before Thor could finish speaking, Haywood nodded in agreement.

Could it be because he still has many candles?

Just as Thor was about to speak, he was shocked to see Haywood tear off his right hand!

His eyes widened immediately.

"Your spell circle is very powerful. If used well, it might be able to get us out of the cursed area of ​​the Wizard Tower!" Haywood's cloudy eyes seemed to clear up a lot. He handed over his bloodied right arm while keeping an eye on the door crack. "But be careful. Before you finish drawing it, don't cause too much magical fluctuation. It will be troublesome if you attract them again."

Saul took Haywood's arm and sighed softly.

This material was indeed one he used frequently in the past. The only difference was that he used to take it from corpses.

This is the first time I've ever felt this warm.

But according to the logic of this world, although the aged Haywood didn't have much spiritual power left, his body was still that of a top-tier third-level wizard apprentice. In addition, due to his focus on physical enhancement, the magical power contained within his limbs was extremely vast.

If materials were graded, this arm could definitely be placed in the second warehouse!

Thor didn't hesitate for long and immediately performed a magic channeling process before placing it on the energy source node of the magic circle.

He had drawn this magic circle many times before, so there was no need to check it at all.

Haywood stood at the edge of the magic circle, carefully observing the runes and structure. Before he could fully see it, Thor had already walked to the center of the magic circle.

"Is he about to activate the magic circle now?" Haywood jumped up in fright, and just as he was about to stop him, he saw that the magic power on the magic circle had already begun to flow.

Seeing such a clear flow of magic, Haywood immediately looked through the crack in the door.

Sure enough, the world outside the door disappeared, and darkness enveloped everything once again.

It's too late to stop now!

Heywood simply grabbed the candle from the ground with his only remaining right hand and stood between Saul and the crack in the door.

He actually wanted to buy time for Saul.

After Thor confirmed that the magic circle was activated, he looked up and saw Haywood in front of him.

This was truly beyond his expectations.

Saul had assumed that Haywood would hide in the corner of the room with a few candles, just like before.

After observing the magic circle drawn by Thor, they made a decision in a short time and chose to take the adventure together!

"This Haywood..." Thor narrowed his eyes secretly.

Then, he suddenly spoke up, "Heywood, you come in too. Stand to my left."

Heywood was secretly delighted, but his expression remained unchanged. He quickly held up the candle and retreated to Saul's side.

Thor stared at the increasingly dark crack in the door, simultaneously circulating his magic and mental energy.

"Penny isn't here to help me calm down... Oh well, now that my mental strength has increased again, I'll try to control my emotions on my own!"

The magic circle that Thor constructed this time is a consciousness platform.

He wants to use consciousness to fight against consciousness!

Soon, as the magic flowed, Thor's skin began to become translucent, and a layer of white frost quickly condensed on its surface.

He immediately felt a bone-chilling cold, as if his blood were about to stop flowing.

This was the first time Thor had tried to change the "temperature" of his spirit body; previously, he had only changed its "shape."

The extreme cold caused his brain to become numb.

Thor's muscles were trembling all over, but his eyes grew increasingly calm.

Even though the darkness outside the door had swallowed the entire doorway, there was no change in his eyes.

Finally, he closed his eyes, and darkness and night descended simultaneously...

When Thor opened his eyes again, he found himself on a huge circular stone platform floating in the unknown darkness.

He stood in the center of the stone platform, with a huge diary floating above his head.

In the darkness surrounding them, many stars twinkled.

"Even a pure spiritual entity can enter the consciousness platform," Thor thought expressionlessly.

Although the attempt was successful, he felt no joy as he froze his emotions and immediately entered analytical mode.

"Then, if those beings that influence my consciousness still want to attack me, they should be here."

His gaze swept over the stone platform and the diary above his head, finally settling on the distant starry sky.

Although the area around Thor's consciousness platform was originally pitch black, when he looked over, he found that the darkness had become even thicker.

It's like someone added a thickener to the water.

Furthermore, the darkness began to encroach on the positions of the stars, seemingly trying to turn this place into a completely black realm.

Then, the stars began to twinkle, as if resisting the invasion of darkness.

"I've never controlled those stars before. I don't know if the diary only protects me on the platform, or if it protects the stars as well?"

As Thor was pondering this, he suddenly noticed that the stars were blinking faster, like someone blinking rapidly.

"Blinking? Eyes?" For some reason, Thor suddenly felt that the stars in the consciousness platform were also like eyes in the interlayer.

After the stars twinkled rapidly, the once thick darkness returned to the vast and clear night sky.

But the darkness did not give up. Soon it struck again, polluting the night sky once more and surging toward the stars with even greater force, seemingly wanting to swallow up the stars that resisted it first.

But this time, the stars that were still twinkling suddenly emitted an extremely bright light.

Even Thor, who was observing, was blinded by the light and couldn't see anything at all.

A few seconds later, when his vision returned, he saw... he saw that the stars had actually turned around and devoured the invading darkness.

The intruders finally realized they had met their match, but it was too late to escape.

The viscous darkness was not driven away; it will never leave.

The darkness was slowly absorbed into the stars, making them even more dazzling.

The diary wasn't used at all throughout the entire process!

Once all the intruders were absorbed, the consciousness platform returned to its former tranquility.

But Thor knew that there were probably some terrible things on his platform!
