Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 494 Performance

Kent's body was engulfed in red flames, emanating waves of intense heat.

The tentacles behind him were ignited by the flames and burned to ashes in just a few breaths.

When the cage that had trapped the two disappeared, Kent's first reaction was not to retreat, but to step forward.

The flames on his body detached like a fierce tiger, transforming into a giant net that enveloped Thor in front of him.

The flames engulfed Thor, who was almost within reach, but the latter made no attempt to dodge.

Kent was not pleased to see this; he realized something was wrong almost immediately.

He took three steps back and looked to the side. The people who had been in the room were gone, and the hole in his head that had been pierced by the giant flower was also gone.

"No, this is all an illusion!"

Kent immediately forced his mental energy outwards, attempting to break through the barrier in front of him using his meditation technique.

Meanwhile, Thor, who had turned into a man of fire, stood opposite Kent as if nothing had happened.

"You reacted very quickly."

"Hmph, it seems you didn't believe me at all and have already joined forces with Xia. You made me come up here to trap me?" Kent didn't break through the illusion for the first time, but he wasn't in a hurry.

"But have you forgotten that we also have a giant tree growing beside us, nurtured by the dean?"

Kent suddenly chanted a spell, and his voice seemed to transform into visible waves that spread outwards.

The same vibration feedback came from the top of their heads.

"Kill Thor!"

At Kent's command, the space began to tremble, and the fire-man Thor vanished from sight.

Kent knew that although the Giant Tree Growth spell was a fourth-order sorcery, it was no longer under the control of a second-order wizard, so its power and sensitivity would be reduced, and it might not be able to kill Thor.

But Kent was actually just trying to use this opportunity to escape the illusion.

Once he breaks free, it would be a piece of cake for a senior first-tier wizard to kill a wizard who has only been a first-tier wizard for less than a year.

In terms of the number of spells he has mastered and the breadth of his knowledge of witchcraft, he, a formal instructor who has studied at Bydon Academy for more than ten years, is definitely superior to Thor!

However, Kent's attempts to break the illusion by injecting mental synchronization techniques and energy imbalance techniques all ended in failure.

"He's only been at the first level for less than a year, yet he already possesses such powerful mental strength? Or did he set up an illusionary array here beforehand?"

Although he couldn't break through the illusion immediately, Kent wasn't in a hurry.

Outside, there are giant trees growing at his disposal, which cannot be controlled by illusions.

Thor is nowhere to be found; he must be dealing with the giant tree's attack.

"When I came here, the dean told me not to lay a hand on Thor, so I guess I won't need my backup plan. But that's for the best. Thor attacked me first this time, so it's only right that I retaliate."

Kent's eyes reddened with excitement at the thought of Saul's identity and the wealth he had displayed.

That Thor was an apprentice of the Wizard Tower Master. It is said that he had lived in the Wizard Tower since he became an apprentice and rarely went out. In addition, with Gorsa’s great training, he had no idea that wizards outside would fight openly and secretly for a little bit of resources.

Although Baidong Academy occupies a city and nearby villages, it is, after all, a force that has emerged from unclaimed land.

In the process of leaving the no man's land, countless resources were consumed. Even the academy's original third-tier wizards died not long after attempting to break out.

Thor twice exchanged magical materials for evil spirits. While those materials weren't rare in Thor's eyes, they were still incredibly attractive to ordinary wizards in the academy.

The thought of how casually the other party offered it in exchange fueled the secret desires of countless people.

However, out of fear of the Wizard Tower Master and Dean Pound's orders, few dared to make a move.

But Kent was one of those few.

Upon discovering the presence of evil spirits in Thor's building, Kent immediately set his sights on it. Using the pretext of discovering the source of the pollution, he used giant trees to create a barrier around the entire building.

However, he did not expect that Thor, this seemingly young boy, was also harboring evil intentions and had been prepared all along.

As soon as Thor entered, he suddenly trapped Kent in an illusion, leaving Kent with no room to use his many tricks.

"The giant tree should have entangled Thor and his men by now. However, an uncontrolled giant tree is just an inanimate object... It's a pity I was ambushed by Thor just now and had to use the Smoke Servants in a hurry, otherwise I could have ordered them to launch an attack now."

Kent had a stern face, just like he always had, looking every bit the serious and rigid captain.

But that's only what it looks like.

He stopped trying to break through the illusion on his own and took out a witchcraft item from his compressed bag.

"There's no other way but to use it. I originally planned to use it on that person once I reached the second tier... but using it on Thor isn't a bad deal. Once I'm out of the illusion, that bastard's death is nigh! I'll make him understand the difference between a senior first-tier wizard and an ordinary first-tier wizard."

The object Kent took out was covered with countless tiny gears and chains, and at the bottom was a handle that could be turned.

He held the instrument in one hand and gripped the handle with the other. Suddenly, he took a deep breath, abruptly gathering his mental energy. Then, relying on his powerful arm strength, he quickly turned the handle.

The gears on the instrument instantly turned into a blur.

As Kent had predicted, the surrounding scenery suddenly melted away like ice and snow.

Kent smiled.

"As expected, dwarven items are the best at countering mental energy fluctuations."

However, when the surrounding scenery was reshuffled, Kent frowned.

This is still not Thor's room.

He felt as if he had arrived at a huge stone platform suspended high in the sky.

All around were stars that flickered abnormally, and above his head was a huge, dark red hardcover book.

"Where is this? No, is this still the illusion created by Thor, a double illusion?"

Kent sped up the spinning of the instrument in his hand, but the surrounding scenery remained unchanged.

Kent became somewhat uneasy. He slowly stopped his arm and carefully extended his mental energy.

His mental energy flowed freely in this space, but the fluctuations he emitted did not elicit any feedback.

The books above and the stone platform beneath his feet looked perfectly real, but under the detection of his mental power, everything seemed to disappear.

"This is definitely not a technique that a first-tier wizard could have devised!"

Kent finally felt scared.

"How dare Gorsa entrust such a dangerous thing to a first-tier wizard? Isn't he afraid that the powerful radiation within will directly mutate Thor?!"

Kent's heart pounded; he hadn't been this nervous in a long time. At the same time, a strong and twisted sense of jealousy grew and spread within him.

Why didn't he have such a good teacher?

"This can't go on any longer. Thor may have radiation protection, but I'm exposed to his attacks."

Kent gritted his teeth, his expression finally contorting. He cast several self-suggestions before taking out a small bottle.

The bottle contained a milky white liquid, similar to milk.

Kent pulled out the cork from the bottle and poured it directly... over his own head!

The last thin, white, translucent line grew from the top of his head, like a newly sprouted grapevine, winding and stretching upwards.

Meanwhile, Kent was shouting and cursing loudly, spitting out his own saliva without even realizing it.

"Sol, you %&*#￥! We at Baidong Academy warmly welcomed you, and when we saw you encounter the source of pollution, we rushed to protect you! And you actually tried to take advantage of the chaos to murder our academy instructors! Do you really think we, Baidong, are easy to bully?!"

After Kent finished cursing, he immediately cast three layers of defensive magic on himself, preparing to withstand the attack. However, while he felt regretful, he also regained his confidence.

He wasn't saying those words to Thor, but to the master behind the tree.

However, no sooner had Kent finished speaking than Thor appeared in front of him as if passing through a curtain of water.

"So the thread above your heads really does come from Bydon Academy." Faced with Kent's plea for help, Thor made no move to stop him; he simply crossed his arms and stared at the top of Kent's head.

"So all the pollution and evil spirits within Archista City are actually under your control, and are 'colony' that you deliberately cultivated... including that upside-down tree."

Kent's expression completely changed this time.

He had absolutely no idea how Thor had connected all of this!

The key point is that he guessed correctly!
