Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 495 What Did He See?

Does Thor trust Char?

Did you almost believe Kent back then?

Or perhaps the kind-faced, hospitable Dean Pound?

No.

Thor trusts no one.

Having neither grown together nor risked their lives to save each other, nor driven by self-interest, how could Saul possibly trust a few people he had only met less than six months ago?

Moreover, on his very first day in Archaeologists, he discovered something amiss about the city. On the surface, it was populous and thriving, with witchcraft tools being used in daily life in a way that defied traditional constraints, making it seem very much like a modern society.

But a closer look reveals the shadows beneath the glamorous facade: rigid working hours, intense work pressure, monotonous and repetitive tasks, and frequent occurrences of evil spirits.

This seemingly modern metropolis, filled with towering buildings, is like a machine spinning under high pressure, occasionally spewing out screws and pieces of metal of unknown purpose, giving Saul the feeling that everything in front of him could suddenly explode into ruins at any moment.

Despite the numerous wizards and apprentices who tirelessly worked to improve and repair it, Thor did not consider it a safe place to live.

In retrospect, the seemingly perfect repairs were merely a cover-up for the internal corrosion.

Thor lifted the engine cover and saw the engine box underneath, which was already leaking oil.

It's a pity he can't stay here and continue to fleece people.

"Why did Dean Pound build this city? How many of the people here are actually human? How many are just skin and bones?"

Kent gradually regained his composure amidst Saul's repeated questioning.

"This is not something you should know. Even if you are Gorsa's student, you will still sink into the swamp because of this."

Seeing that Kent was determined not to tell the truth, Saul stopped arguing.

The other party came in with absolutely no good intentions, testing whether you know the inside story.

The so-called source of pollution was probably arranged by the other party. And the giant flower bud that suddenly appeared in the room, as well as the human-shaped smoke, were clearly under Kent's control.

The other party had brought men, powerful witchcraft, and the status of a local strongman. Thor couldn't possibly engage him in a prolonged fight.

Therefore, when Thor entered the room and confirmed that there were no other wizards around, he immediately launched his most powerful spell, the Battlefield of Consciousness, at Kent.

Kent was caught off guard, or rather, he never expected Thor to make the first move against him. Without any warning, he was easily pulled into the battlefield of consciousness by Thor.

Therefore, even though his mental strength was actually quite strong, he was captured before he could put up any resistance.

However, just as Thor's body gradually softened, completing the transformation from human to monster, he felt waves of burning pain coming from below.

Looking down, Thor saw that the platform beneath his feet had turned bright red, as if it were being scorched by a raging fire.

Thor's lower body, which had transformed into tentacles, quickly began to sizzle and burn under the intense heat.

"As expected of a near-second-tier wizard, you're the first person here to actively alter the surrounding environment. It seems I'll have to be prepared for battles on the platform when I recruit second-tier wizards in the future," Thor said calmly.

Meanwhile, Kent on the other side was already utterly horrified.

His third-tier sorcery, "Earth's End," is a unique sorcery he modified based on the principles of volcanic eruptions, building upon his other sorcery, "Fireball."

Both its magical power and destructiveness are several times stronger than normal third-tier sorcery.

But the fiery lava that should have erupted directly only heated the ground here!

Kent refused to believe in superstition. He disregarded the fact that Thor had discovered his sneak attack and once again mobilized his mental energy, chanting incantations and frantically outputting magic power.

However, the stone slabs beneath Thor's feet only became a little redder, still not achieving the effect he desired.

"Alright, let's call it a day. Although I specialize in dark magic, I also possess some fire magic skills. Since you've come to me of your own accord, I'll gladly accept it."

Kent still doesn't understand what happened.

But he had figured it out: his current location was definitely not caused by some kind of illusion.

He even suspected that he had entered a different world.

But the world side can't be moved at will...

Kent's throat moved up and down, and he finally gave up.

The reinforcements that were supposed to arrive instantly have yet to appear, and he has no intention of continuing the fight with Thor.

He believed he was no less than Thor in a head-on confrontation and had a great chance of winning, but who would have thought this place would be so strange!

A wall of fire suddenly erupted in front of Kent.

This was just a basic fire wall spell, and he didn't expect it to hurt Thor. So, with a huge fire wall between himself and Thor, Kent turned and ran.

The platform wasn't big; he only ran a dozen meters before reaching the edge.

Looking down, I was surprised to see a starry sky right beneath my feet.

Behind Kent, several tentacles had already broken through the wall of fire, like a giant hand with a dozen fingers, slamming down on Kent's location.

"Staying here won't work my magic; I'll just be waiting to die." A ruthless glint flashed in Kent's eyes. "I might as well explore this strange space!"

With that thought in mind, and with the burning tentacles already behind him, Kent didn't hesitate any longer and jumped.

As soon as Kent left the platform, all the flames and heat vanished instantly.

However, the burns left on Thor's body did not heal.

Having regained his human form and bearing extensive burns, Thor arrived at the edge of the platform, looking down at Kent's figure receding further and further into the starry sky.

"Master." At this moment, Herman appeared from the diary.

Thor didn't let him out at all, because this was no longer a battle he could participate in.

Unless he undergoes a powerful soul-enhancing transformation, Herman will be relegated to the sidelines until Thor runs out of black pages to make room for a newcomer.

The thought of this made Herman break out in a cold sweat.

Even though he doesn't even have sweat glands.

"I have never conducted an experiment where a spirit jumped off the platform before," Thor said calmly.

Each time he enters the battlefield of consciousness, his emotions are shielded to the maximum extent by the Nightmare Butterfly, thus prolonging the time he stays on the platform.

Therefore, Thor is in the most danger at this time.

Herman slowly moved to Thor's side and stood at the edge of the platform.

Even though the platform was perfectly stable and there was no howling wind, Herman still felt his heart pounding. It was as if several hearts had grown out of his consciousness, beating wildly at different frequencies and amplitudes.

He couldn't understand how that wizard named Kent had the courage to jump down.

When Herman looked down, he realized that even though Kent had jumped down several seconds ago and his figure was almost invisible, he could still inexplicably see Kent's face.

Especially since he had been facing away from the platform—he suddenly turned around.

His face was filled with fear, as if he had seen a terrifying being he had never imagined in his life.

"What did he see?"

Under intense stress, Herman shuddered and nearly foolishly fell off the platform.

After calming down a bit, he turned his head to look at Thor, who had just been speaking.

Saul clearly saw Kent's expression, but compared to Herman's tension and fear, Saul's face only showed inquisitive curiosity.

Thor even lifted one foot and dangled it in mid-air.

The twinkling stars around us suddenly sped up, as if a crowd of thousands of people were blinking frantically.

"Master, I think you shouldn't experiment on yourself..."

Herman suddenly felt like slapping himself as he said this.

He advised Saul not to experiment on himself, but did he want to experiment on him?

But Hermann's fears did not come true.

Thor withdrew his foot. "What are you worried about? You didn't even react after reading the diary?"

A while later, a black light suddenly flew up from the endless starry sky and then disappeared directly into the huge hardcover book above Thor's head.

The diary shrank to the size of a palm, then lazily flew to Thor's palm, flipping open with a "whoosh" to reveal new black pages.

Long jump, please vote for me!
