Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 436 It really collapsed

Byron was still focused on operating the instruments when he was startled to see the tower master, who had changed his appearance.

Most people have a deep-seated fear of Gorsa.

Although they may not have had any contact with the tower master.

But the sheer power of the opponent is enough to make people tremble.

"Thor, Lord Thor has gone to resolve the issue of supporting the core." No one else dared to reply, except for Morton, who had once been a second-tier cultivator, who answered with a forced smile.

However, he felt a little strange. Gorsa seemed to be more than just a second-tier being.

The opponent's imposing presence reminded Morton of the great battle in the Valley of the Fallen a hundred years ago.

That war, which had just begun, ended as soon as it began.

"The core support?" Gorsa turned to look at the bronze gate behind him. "He went in?"

Gorsa frowned slightly, walked towards the bronze gate, and pushed it open with one hand.

A vibrant, colorful world was revealed behind the door.

Gorsa threw the Haywood he was holding on the ground and then walked inside.

The gate closed automatically.

"What should we do now?" Herman, who hadn't uttered a sound the moment before, was still very nervous. "He went to find the master, what if...?"

However, before Hermann could finish speaking, the bronze gate opened again.

This time, Gorza and Thor emerged one after the other from the ever-changing, iridescent world.

Thor looked down, his gaze sweeping over his clenched fist several times.

After they came out, the shaking of the wizard tower stopped, but the huge cracks in the walls that allowed them to see into the outside world were still a shocking sight.

"The contamination in the interlayer is more severe than I thought," Gorsa said softly. "It seems this place can't be held back. It will collapse immediately once these arms are removed."

He raised his hand, and the black shadows beneath everyone suddenly turned into tiny black dots, which then hopped and skipped into the gaps around the room.

The room, which was originally full of cracks, was miraculously restored to its original state.

"This way you can last longer, but you must leave after three hours." Gorsa helped repair the lab and glanced at Claire's condition. "After your experiment, you can go to the underground lab below the small garden. It's... a good place to recover."

Thor clenched his left fist tightly, holding in his palm the thing that Gorsa had just handed him from inside the door.

"I have other things to do, so I won't keep you company any longer." Gorsar turned around and picked up Haywood again, glancing at Thor with a faint smile in his eyes. "I hope one day I'll see you succeed."

"I'm going to check on Kira. I hope she's still alive." Gorza smiled slightly, and together with Haywood, they vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

Thor strode to the bronze gate and placed his right hand on it.

After a while, he walked back thoughtfully. "He left the wizard tower directly, and he really didn't want anything."

"Master?" Morton stepped forward, bowed his head, and whispered to Thor, "I've discovered that this tower master..."

Thor looked up, knowing what Morton wanted to ask, "He's advanced to a third-tier full wizard."

In an instant, apart from the still-running machines, the room was so quiet it was as if no one was there.

Thor was also pondering, "If Gorsa can advance to the third tier so easily, what did he mean by saying he didn't have much time? And why did he forcefully conduct the resurrection experiment even though he knew Yura had a problem? Judging from his appearance, he wasn't sad at all that the experiment failed."

Thinking of the rampant magic power and extreme endurance emanating from the Tower Master, Thor couldn't help but suspect that Gorsa was probably trying his best to suppress his own advancement.

But why is that?

Solving one mystery leads to the discovery of another.

Thor exhaled, realizing that even after becoming a full-fledged wizard, the Tower Master's secrets had not diminished.

Just as his mentor had taught him, as a wizard, the more knowledge he acquires, the more he realizes how ignorant he is.

This phenomenon is sometimes not limited to academic knowledge.

He stopped dwelling on the Tower Master's series of mysterious actions, walked to Keli who was still lying quietly on the coffin, and said in a deep voice, "Let's continue, and focus all our attention on the experiment!"

Upon hearing this, the previously dazed crowd seemed to be awakened from hypnosis and immediately sprang into action.

Even Jero looked positive, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

Just as Lord Gorsata turned to leave, a warm, sun-like spiritual force caressed him.

Under the warm and comforting spiritual energy, Jero felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His body and soul seemed to be torn apart, placed in two extreme environments.

Fortunately, the feeling disappeared quickly, which relieved him.

At that moment, Jero believed that if he hadn't been under Thor's control, he would have died a painful death the instant he was enveloped by Gorza's mental power.

He no longer dared to have any ulterior motives and tried his best to make himself as useful as possible.

Byron, like the others, assisted Saul in rescuing Claire, but compared to his earlier composure, he would occasionally clench his wrist and fall into deep thought.

As time passed, the metallic coating on Klee's body grew thicker and thicker. What was originally a paper-thin shell gradually transformed into a full-body suit of humanoid armor.

"How is it?" Byron wiped the sweat from his brow and walked over to ask Saul.

"If there is no rejection reaction to the replacement blood, Keli should be able to pull through this time."

"No, that won't happen," Byron said with certainty. "I've done blood transfusion experiments many times."

Although it's unclear whether Byron's blood transfusion experiment was performed on someone else or on himself, judging from his confident tone, he must have been absolutely certain.

"Alright, let's leave as soon as possible..." Thor was about to lead everyone to the underground laboratory when he suddenly saw the plaster peeling off the walls.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that what had fallen off were actually their shadows that Gorsa had previously used to repair the walls.

The shadows bounced and hopped back to the people's feet.

Only then did everyone realize that when they lost their shadows, they always felt a sense of emptiness. Retrieving their shadows now felt like falling from mid-air to the ground.

"What about mine?" Jero stared in astonishment at his feet.

The swarm of small black dots had just gathered beneath the group, but his shadow was the only one missing. He quickly ran to the wall, reaching out to feel through the newly revealed gaps, trying to find his lost shadow.

"Where's mine?" Jero, having found nothing, turned around and asked the crowd in a daze, only to find that everyone was looking at him with a hint of fear in their eyes.

He slowly shifted his gaze, and finally, next to a huge electromagnetic instrument, he saw himself sitting blankly on the ground!

"My soul has left my body?" Jero looked down at himself and realized that his body was actually semi-transparent.

He had been on missions with many apprentices who majored in dark attributes and knew that apprentices who majored in dark attributes were prone to experiencing symptoms of soul leaving their bodies. Although this was his first time experiencing soul leaving his body, he quickly calmed down.

"If your soul accidentally leaves your body, try to stabilize your mental energy and sense the residual fluctuations of your mental energy. If they match, return to your body as soon as possible." He recalled the information he had received earlier and slowly walked towards his body.

But as he walked, he found that his line of sight was getting lower and lower.

"I... I've gotten shorter?" He wanted to look down, but he didn't dare. Yet, if he didn't look down, he wanted to know what had happened to him.

Thor watched as Jero's soul began to crumble into dust from his feet, like snowflakes blown off a roof in winter.

Only after Jero's entire soul had shattered and vanished did Herman speak, trembling, "How...how could he have become like this?"

An crossed his arms, his eyes full of disdain. "What he did, the tower master naturally knows. He was spared only to make him his master's assistant. Now that the mission is complete, he can die."

The remaining people had a pretty good idea of ​​what had happened and didn't express any sympathy for Jero's plight.

Although he chose to stand by when his mentor Anze and his group rebelled, for Gorsa, neutrality was tantamount to betrayal.

The master of the Wizard Tower is no benevolent person. He will not hesitate to kill any traitor, even if they are no longer of any importance.

After Jero's soul vanished like snowflakes, his body suddenly burst into flames without fire, turning into black powder in just a few breaths.

It was burned completely clean.

Thor took one last look at the place, then grabbed Claire and rushed down the wizard tower.

After they left, the slender arms that were supporting the wizard tower outside suddenly retracted, and the wizard tower, which was already close to its limit, collapsed with a crash.

Even after the group had retreated quite a distance, they were still engulfed by the dust that had been kicked up.

As the dust settled, the small garden that was originally near the wizard's tower was also submerged. Anyone who remained inside the tower, trying to find valuable materials in the chaos, would likely be forever trapped among the ruins of the wizard's tower.

Twisted wails came from beneath the ruins, followed by illusory figures that pierced through the rubble and debris and soared into the sky, gradually turning into wisps of smoke in the orange-red sunlight of the setting sun.

Looking at the ruins before him, Thor suddenly felt a sense of relief that everything had come to an end.

The Wizard Tower, which once awed the Western continent, has truly fallen.

This is the last chapter of the first volume. There are still some people in the Wizarding Tower whose fates need to be explained, including Byron and Claire, as well as several mentors. Then Thor will embark on a new journey.

The second volume introduces the new masters of the No Man's Lands and will also unfold stories of other continents and planetary vortexes. It's expected to be another long volume.
