Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 575 Turning the Tables

"You reacted very quickly."

The sound came from above.

Thor immediately looked up and was astonished to find that the previously sealed top wall had been opened like a lid.

A huge, somewhat aged face, resembling someone in their sixties or seventies, appeared above his head.

"Many people die without ever knowing where they died."

"But that's how it is. Now that you've entered my consciousness space, there's no way you'll leave alive. Suddenly losing the magic you've always relied on must be quite disorienting, right?"

"I'll help you find relief."

A giant hand pressed down from above.

Its five fingers were menacing, as if it wanted to crush Thor.

"Your sneak attack wizard was very powerful. Did you use this same wizardry to kill Longman back then?"

Thor couldn't dodge in time and was grabbed by the other party!

The enormous finger exerted an unparalleled force, instantly causing Thor to groan in pain, as if his entire body was about to explode.

"I...I didn't...kill...Lang Wen. I...don't even know him..."

Saul spoke haltingly, his face contorted in pain.

"It's too late to say you've never seen him. I should have stopped him when he said he was coming to see you with Halima's love letters!"

Halima's Love Letter?

Thor finally remembered.

Longman must be the man who brought the pearl bracelet and asked him to clean the stains off it.

Or rather, the wolf head on the man's chest.

"I didn't...kill him..." Thor immediately tried to explain, "I refused...he left..."

"Hmph, do you think I'd believe that? He usually hides, only revealing himself when he comes looking for you. And you're the only one around here who could have killed him."

"I really didn't... Aren't you afraid of killing the wrong person...?"

The head atop the skull wore a sorrowful expression. "Killing the wrong person is still killing the wrong person! I won't let any potential enemy escape!"

"Remember, the one who killed you was the Scourge Knight, Brando!"

After Brando finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with his palm.

Although a first-tier wizard is not weak, their mental strength cannot compare with that of a second-tier wizard.

In particular, first-tier wizards who suddenly lose their magical support are, in Brando's view, not much better than apprentices.

He stared intently at Saul, his eyes flashing with alternating anger and sorrow.

That was his only friend, and Longman wanted to remove the contamination from the pearl bracelet to help him!

But the other party never returned!

Push harder! Push harder! Push even harder!

Brando waited to see Thor's consciousness turn into a blob of unconscious slime in his palm and then explode!

however……

Push harder! Push even harder!

Brando, who continued to try to crush Thor's consciousness, gradually became suspicious.

"Why? You're still alive?"

Seeing Brando's suspicious look, Thor, whose face had been contorted with anger, suddenly lost all expression.

He stared blankly at Brando above him. "So, that's your whole reason?"

Brando was startled, and his grip on Thor's hand unconsciously loosened slightly.

"I thought you were sent by a wind demon or a dream weaver..." Thor muttered, "but it really really is an undeserved disaster!"

"You?" Brando finally realized something was wrong. "You're faking it?"

Thor's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Just playing along with your act. I've already seen your consciousness platform; it's incredibly rudimentary! Want to see mine?"

As soon as Thor finished speaking, a small round stone slab appeared under his feet.

After the stone slab with the intricate magic arrays appeared, it began to expand rapidly.

When the edge touched the sealed box of Thor, it burst open with almost no effort.

As the circular stone platform expanded, Thor's body also grew larger, almost instantly becoming the same size as the giant Brando.

The surrounding darkness was completely torn apart, and stars that blinked rapidly like eyes emerged.

Brando felt as if in the blink of an eye, Thor, who had been in his grasp and whose life and death he held, had become an equal to him.

His withered hands naturally couldn't hold the other person, and were even directly shaken away by the powerful impact of the other person growing bigger!

Thor used his awareness battlefield to turn the tables and drag Brando into his own territory!

"Your physical body in the outside world always focuses on close combat, giving the impression that you excel at hand-to-hand fighting. But who would have thought that your true trump card is actually battles in the realm of consciousness?"

To create a tangible space of consciousness, the wizard's spiritual body needs to be very stable and supported by strong mental power.

Brando in the consciousness space is no longer just a head. But his body is not as powerful as the knights outside.

He looks more like a withered old man.

He had recovered from his shock, and his gaze towards Thor was no longer as resentful as before.

"So you've been lying to me all along." His gaze swept around, "A first-tier wizard with such powerful mental strength and such a complete consciousness space. It's not surprising that you killed Langwen."

Thor tilted his head. "I'll say it one last time, I didn't kill Longman. Whether you believe me or not is irrelevant; I'm just curious, did you really come to kill me to avenge Longman?"

Brando clenched his fists, which had been hanging by his sides, and two rapiers suddenly appeared in his hands.

"No need for further explanation. If you believe that a powerful consciousness space equates to your own power, you are sorely mistaken!"

"My consciousness space isn't as complete as yours, but that doesn't mean my spiritual body is weaker! The stronger and more complete the consciousness space, the more likely it is to harbor danger. Your blind pursuit of a stronger space is suicidal!"

Brando placed his twin swords in front of his abdomen, silently crossing them. "I'll show you what true mind-based combat is all about."

"Here, I am the strongest knight!"

Sensing the other party's imposing aura, Thor nodded slightly and became serious.

His hands began to soften and deform, gradually splitting into countless translucent gray tentacles.

The tentacles grew larger and longer, and soon drooped to the ground, piling up in a clump.

Tentacles twisted and turned all over the ground, quickly spreading outwards to create a gruesome scene.

At the same time, a pair of eyes suddenly opened below Thor's eyes.

Those eyes were deep and cold, as if they possessed no emotion whatsoever.

When those eyes looked at Brando, it was no different from looking at the stone slabs beneath his feet and the starry sky above.

Brando did not move.

It wasn't that he wanted to be a gentleman and wait for Thor to finish transforming.

But the moment the eyes beneath Thor's eyes appeared, he felt an indescribable fear.

Even when facing a third-tier wizard, he had never felt so powerless.

"ah!!!!!!"

He suddenly roared, suppressing his inner fear, and with the strength of his waist and abdomen, he swung his shoulders and upper arms, one to the left and one to the right, at Thor's head.

The tip of the sword was pointed directly at those extra eyes!

Thor: "?"

Is this what you call a true battle of consciousness?

Did they just throw away their weapons as soon as they came in?

Although he found it somewhat unbelievable, Thor still treated it with caution.

After all, anything can happen within the space of consciousness.

The pair of rapiers that were thrown over might even suddenly turn into bombs and explode.

Two gray tentacles suddenly rose into the air and wrapped around the two thin swords respectively.

The sharp, smooth rapier was corroded and dulled the moment it was caught by the tentacles.

With a slight exertion of force, the two slender swords turned into black smoke and disappeared completely!

Thor blocked the attack effortlessly.

The ease he felt left him somewhat bewildered.

"What other tricks are you hiding in that move?" Thor warily turned his attention back to Brando, and then he froze...

A vertical slit less than two meters long had appeared beside Brando at some point, and Brando was trying to squeeze into it.

When he saw Thor looking over, he panicked and squeezed, and with a "squeak," he squeezed into the vertical crevice!

The next second, the vertical seam snapped shut and then disappeared completely!

"This is..." Thor paused for a moment, then his expression twisted in disbelief as he said, "They ran away?!"
