Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 496 Eyeballs

Saul snapped his diary shut.

"It's still not peaceful outside. We'll interrogate Kent after we leave Archista."

Before Herman could nod repeatedly, Thor's figure disappeared from the platform.

When he opened his eyes, Morton rushed over.

Just then, countless eyes suddenly popped out of Kent's face, who was standing opposite him.

It's an explosion, not a growth.

Like a cake that suddenly expands in an oven, Kent's head almost tripled in size in an instant, with countless thumb-length lacerations stretching from his cheeks to his hair.

And from those cracks emerged eyeballs with abnormally cloudy crystals.

These eyes have pupils of different colors, such as amber gold, deep sea blue, and fiery red.

These colorful pupils initially darted around, but eventually all locked onto Thor's location.

What would a head look like if only the eyeballs remained?

Thor couldn't help but take a half step back. If he wasn't afraid of startling the other party, he would have put on a protective layer for himself.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a crisp popping sound came from Thor's side.

Thor turned around in astonishment and found that Morton, who was standing next to him, had his eyes exploded, as if new eyeballs had just grown and then exploded in a short time.

Thor turned back again, and the eyes on Kent's corpse were still staring at him, but before he could do anything, the eyes suddenly shrank and disappeared.

Kent's body fell straight down, his eyes gone, his head looking like a honeycomb, a truly gruesome sight.

"What are those eyes?" Thor murmured. "Morton, you go back first."

Although Morton's eyes were still bleeding, his body was actually made from a corpse and was a container with a small amount of activity, so the damage on his body surface was not a big problem.

But the inexplicable appearance of eyes on his body followed by explosions is a characteristic shared by many contaminated individuals.

To prevent Morton from having any residual contamination, Saul decided to have him go back to his diary and clean it thoroughly first.

Morton collapsed on the spot and instantly became dead.

Seemingly because of Kent's death, the giant tree that had been chasing the strange flower suddenly withered, its magic dissipating in all directions, and soon turned into specks of starlight and disappeared.

Just now, Kent thought he had manipulated the giant tree to grow and fight against Thor in Thor's mind battlefield, but little did he know that the giant tree had not received his signal at all and had only been chasing after the enemy outside from beginning to end.

If Kent hadn't mistakenly believed that Thor could only withstand the giant tree's attack for so long, he might not have overestimated Thor's fighting ability and wouldn't have jumped off the platform.

That way he can hold on for a little longer.

Thor looked up and saw a few rays of sunlight streaming through the large hole above him, along with a few withered leaves drifting down from the opening.

Then a figure jumped down, it turned out to be Agu.

When Agu entered, he was startled to see Morton and Kent's corpses on the ground and quickly went to Thor's side.

"Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Although Thor was also puzzled that he was alright despite being stared at by those eyes, Morton's eyes widened in disbelief.

Where did you just go?

"Ann and I are on the roof, keeping an eye out for those two plants that might climb over and get in the way of the owner."

"The magic that was supposed to make the giant tree grow has now stopped working. How's that flower outside?"

That flower was likely also Kent's doing, and now that Kent is dead, that flower will probably follow in the footsteps of the giant tree.

"The two plants were fighting fiercely. Suddenly the giant tree disappeared, and I thought the flower would attack us. But for some reason, the flower suddenly became scared and ran away along the outer wall."

Agu paused for a second, then leaned closer to Thor and whispered, "Ann went underground with that plant."

Thor looked up. "Underground?"

Agu nodded. "I've placed a tracking spell on Ann."

When the consciousness is close to Thor, he can clearly perceive their location, but when they are far apart, or when Thor's attention is distracted by other things, this perception becomes blurred.

"After the underground sewer incident, I warned you not to go underground lightly. But this time, An actively pursued the enemy into the underground... Have you discovered what happened to her?"

"I've noticed that she's been rather quiet ever since Master and Ann returned from their trip to the countryside."

Saul immediately thought of the attack in the suburbs. It was highly unusual that the underground root system ignored him and specifically targeted Anne.

In retrospect, that was no coincidence.

Just as Thor was deep in thought, another group of wizards rushed into Thor's room.

"Lord Thor."

"Lord Sol."

There are several full-fledged wizards and several senior apprentices.

"My lord, the magic spell for the giant tree's growth has suddenly collapsed! We... Heavens, could that have been Lord Kent?"

Several wizards were horrified and rushed toward Kent's body.

"Don't go over there!" Thor shouted sternly.

"The Wizard of Kent has been infected by some unknown contamination; do not approach him!"

Several wizard apprentices stopped, but one wizard ignored Thor's orders and pounced on Kent's body.

He was also mindful of the contamination on Kent's body, so he didn't touch his head, but instead used magic to examine Kent's body.

I wonder if they are investigating the cause of Kent's death.

At this moment, another wizard, with a somber expression and a respectful tone, said to Thor, "Lord Thor, Wizard Kent has died unexpectedly, and we need to investigate the cause of his death."

Thor sneered, but didn't actually stop the others from approaching Kent. "Do you all think I killed Kent?"

The other party quickly denied it, "No, it's just that Lord Kent has always been in charge of the cleaners. If we don't find out the cause of his death, I'm afraid we won't be able to communicate with the Dean..."

"Waaaaaah!!!"

A scream suddenly interrupted the wizard's words. Everyone looked over and was shocked to find that the wizard who was examining Kent's body had suddenly screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Then his eyes exploded with a "pop".

But the other person was in worse shape than Morton, because after his eyes exploded, the upper half of his head also became a bloody mess.

A third-level apprentice seemed to be closer to the injured wizard and instinctively went to treat him.

When the magical light that healed minor injuries enveloped the wizard's face, the latter finally stopped crying out in pain.

However, when the light faded, the others gasped in shock.

The healed wizard's face... suddenly had more than a dozen pairs of eyes!

It's as if his muscle memory tells him that there should be a dozen pairs of eyes on his face once his wounds are healed!

The apprentice who was treating the wizard was startled and quickly took three steps back, as if he was afraid that so many eyes would grow on his face.

Upon seeing this, Thor feigned helplessness and said, "The contamination that the wizard Kent suffered from is terrible and contagious. One of my men has also died, which is why I'm not letting you pass."

The formal wizards standing opposite Thor were immediately embarrassed. Their insistence on examining Kent's body was precisely to guard against Thor.

Suddenly, the whole room shook violently, and the bottles and jars that were originally placed on the shelf shattered on the floor.

"An earthquake?" A wizard immediately took out a dial and checked the parameters on it. "No, it shouldn't be an earthquake."

Thor was also unsure of what had happened. He immediately released his mental energy, but there were no unusual magical fluctuations around the room.

Then the room shook again, and this time the shaking was even more violent than before.

"It's not an earthquake." Saul looked out the window at the tall buildings. "Only our house is shaking; there's something underground!"

Thor and Agu exchanged a glance.

"underground!"

I originally planned to finish writing both chapters and post them together, but I haven't finished the second chapter yet, so I'll post it this afternoon.
