Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 573 The Knight of Revenge

Justin provided most of the materials and magic crystals used for healing.

Therefore, Thor could begin the treatment without having to collect various magical materials again.

Both of them took a good rest before starting their first experiment to reduce pollution.

Justin, in particular, meditated for three hours after entering deep sleep, allowing his mind and body to enter the most stable state.

Over here, Thor has already drawn the magic circle outside the wizard tower and is doing the final check.

Because it was the first time using this self-designed magic circle, despite Camus's approval and the silence of the diary, Thor still checked it again and again.

After making sure he knew the function of each rune by heart, he asked Agu to fetch Justin.

As Justin descended the wizard tower, he immediately saw a massive magic circle in front of it, surrounded by a row of figures that looked like children.

But when Justin got closer, he discovered that these children were actually dolls made of a special material, without facial features.

"These are dolls that will absorb the damage for you; you can also call them substitute dolls." Thor explained the characteristics of the magic circle to Justin in a simple way so that he could cooperate in transferring the damage.

The substitute doll was inspired by Thor's past memories. However, because it was designed by himself, it can only be used within a sorcery circle, transferring damage to the doll through a massive channeling of magical energy.

However, the prerequisite is that the person being targeted cannot resist.

After explaining all the precautions to Justin, Thor pointed to the center of the magic circle and said, "Then let's begin."

Justin nodded, calmly walked through the substitute doll, and entered the magic circle.

After confirming that Justin was standing still and relaxed, Thor, Agu, Ann, and Herman stood at the four corners of the magic circle.

Thor was in charge of presiding over the magic circle, while the other three consciousnesses assisted in adjusting it.

"Let's begin." He exhaled, and his mental and magical power began to surge.

The immense energy materialized, distorting the surrounding air.

The substitute dolls around the magic circle began to tremble slightly, as if they too were feeling fear.

Justin lowered his eyes and stared at the ground, watching as the magic crystals in the four corners were lit up one by one.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

It was as if dozens of people were walking barefoot on the twisted lines of a witchcraft circle, and at the same time, they were stepping on his soul.

As the magic was fully mobilized, the lines and runes within the entire magic circle began to distort. The substitute dolls around them raised their arms, seemingly wanting to escape.

boom--

A silent impact descended upon Justin's mind and body. He instantly felt a force cutting into his skin, then, like a filtering gauze, slowly draining away the pollution within him.

Justin was in so much pain that his face turned deathly pale.

The feeling is like having tangled threads buried inside your body, only to slowly pull them out after the wound has healed.

Outside the magic circle, Thor was carefully manipulating his magic to ensure that the giant net tearing at Justin's body wouldn't break free too quickly.

Soon, a harsh metallic scraping sound began to emanate from Justin's body.

The source of pollution has been identified!

Through his mental perception, Thor discovered that black shadows were appearing all over the other person's body, with the most concentrated at the back of his head.

Thor spread his hands, his ten fingers transforming into soft, translucent tentacles that gradually extended and took over each of the black spots, carefully avoiding Justin's back of the head.

We cannot touch the source of pollution there yet.

As Thor's tentacles touched Justin's body, the stand-in puppets around the magic circle began to show facial features.

The transformed face bore a striking resemblance to Justin, bearing about 70% similarity. These stand-ins, no longer attempting to escape, turned and gazed longingly at Justin's body.

"Now I am him."

"So I can replace him!"

Inside the doll are fragments of a soul, filled with greed and malice, that Thor deliberately selected.

Only with this kind of awareness would the stand-in doll actively establish a connection with Justin.

Then, the first substitute doll lifted its feet off the ground and took a step toward the center of the magic circle.

Once there's a first, there's a second, a third...

Soon, dozens of puppets slowly moved towards Justin.

Meanwhile, the dolls, eager to seize Justin's body, failed to notice that the moment they moved toward Justin, their bodies began to show signs of corrosion from strong acid.

The skin made a sizzling sound, like a steak on a hot plate.

My fingertips and knees suddenly dented, as if something had dripped onto them, instantly corroding the flesh.

However, the desire to regain their bodies made these painless dolls ignore the abnormality in their bodies. They continued to approach Justin, as if they could really take his body if they touched him.

Thor slowly absorbed the pollution from Justin's body.

Several consciousness entities constantly adjusted the magic array on the ground. If they detected that a puppet was running too fast, they would reduce the transmission efficiency of the rune it was attached to.

But despite being controlled by a conscious entity, these substitute dolls gradually approached Justin.

The closest stand-in doll was less than a meter away from Justin.

Of course, it was also the most severely damaged.

His two arms had long since corroded away, and even one of his feet had disappeared down to his knee.

If it weren't for the magic supporting it, it would have been unable to stand and would have collapsed long ago.

Thor calculated the time, "I can hold on for another three minutes."

Despite the limited time remaining, Thor did not increase the frequency of absorbing the pollution.

If the contamination is removed too quickly, the sudden worsening of the injuries cannot be distributed to the substitute doll in time, causing an imbalance of injuries within Justin's body.

"At this rate, it is estimated that three more experiments like this will reduce the contamination in Justin's body to a relatively safe level."

Suddenly, Thor heard a loud noise behind him.

He paused the absorption of pollution and looked back.

The mushroom groves along the shores of Lake Rhine were shaking.

A large number of spores were released, creating a burst of white mist that shot into the sky.

Someone has trespassed into the mushroom forest!

Moreover, judging from their posture, it seems they are forcibly forcing their way in.

Otherwise, the mushroom forest wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

The person is not good!

Thor did not hesitate and immediately severed the tentacles.

"Someone has come with malicious intent. That's it for today's magic array. Herman, take Justin back to rest."

Although Justin is a second-degree amputee, the patient is in a weakened state, and it's not appropriate to let him take over at this time.

"Ann, go and fetch the old witch!"

An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one.

"I'm here." The old witch walked out from the arched doorway of the wizard's tower.

She had been secretly watching and studying the workings of Thor's magic circle.

Saul let her look at him.

Judging from the old witch's basic understanding of runes and magic circles, she wouldn't be able to learn it even if she watched it ten more times.

Just then, the defenses of the mushroom forest were finally breached.

The mushroom tree closest to Lake Rhine was cut in half, and the entire mushroom fell down, revealing the intruder behind it.

A man clad in full armor, wearing a silver-gray metal helmet, and riding a tall, black, four-legged beast, was crossing the vast Lake Rhine, staring intently at the white Spirit Purification Wizard Tower.

Thor turned around and saw the intruder's head slowly lower from its upward position until it met his gaze.

"This is a bit troublesome," the old witch said in a low, hoarse voice. "He's riding a gallows beast, and those things have terrifyingly high magic resistance; they're ferocious beasts that can withstand third-tier witchcraft!"
