Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 692 Fiery Clouds

Suddenly, a ring of swirling, twisting light appeared within Thor's consciousness platform.

Thor did not re-enter his consciousness; this was merely a projection of his soul.

Since his journey through the eye of the storm, Thor discovered that while the strength of his spiritual body remained unchanged, its resilience had increased several times over.

This means that Thor's spiritual body will be very difficult to harm, distort, or corrupt.

That's why he can multitask, projecting his soul onto the consciousness platform without retaining any human form or a head to remind himself that he is still a human being.

When this distorted beam of light appeared in the consciousness space, Thor could clearly see several thin lines surrounding him.

Three of them belong to Kismet, Per, and Byron, a fact Thor has already confirmed using teleportation.

Saul is currently unable to determine who owns the other few thin threads.

But it's nothing more than a few people who are close to him.

But instead of looking at the few thin lines nearby, he focused intently on Herbert.

Soon, he saw a thin line stretching towards the sky above Herbert's head.

A thin thread was pulled out from Thor's consciousness, his gaze turned upward, gradually faded, and finally disappeared.

But suddenly, a thin line appeared at the point where the thin line was above Herbert's head, with its two ends lightly touching.

Thor's figure vanished suddenly, then reappeared behind Herbert just as abruptly.

At this moment, Herbert's entire body had transformed into a flame form, giving him a slight advantage in his battle with Per.

But he never let his guard down around Saul.

Upon discovering that Thor had suddenly disappeared, an alarm bell immediately rang in his mind.

In an instant, Herbert's body exploded, transforming from a mass of flames into a cloud of fireflies.

The fireflies immediately turned around and tried to envelop Thor.

Several black blades instantly appeared beside Thor and attacked the fireflies.

Soon, more than a dozen fireflies were cut in half, instantly combusted, and turned to ashes.

However, there are still many fireflies remaining.

Thor transformed his hand into a tentacle for fishing for souls, easily sweeping away dozens of fireflies with a casual wave, but he failed to pull Herbert's soul into the consciousness platform.

It even felt like all my efforts had been in vain, as if I hadn't touched the other person's soul at all.

"Be careful, Herbert's current state is unmanageable. As long as one firefly remains alive, he cannot be killed!"

When Pell saw Saul rashly come out and launch a sneak attack on Herbert, she was counterattacked and was about to be surrounded.

She was very anxious and activated the air barrier again, trying to isolate Thor and Herbert.

Upon hearing Pell's reminder, Thor thought to himself, "Indeed, the higher the rank, the harder it is for wizards of the same rank to gain the upper hand. These people have extremely powerful offensive and defensive capabilities."

But Thor never intended to easily defeat Herbert with just these two moves.

"Kissmet!"

At this moment, a cold female voice sounded.

Upon hearing this voice, Herbert, who was preparing to attack Thor, was the first to change his expression.

Tens of thousands of fireflies suddenly scattered and fled in all directions.

The voice that terrified Herbert belonged to a fourth-order wizard.

Ophelia, the Lord of Sky City.

Thor didn't chase after them immediately, but instead looked at Kismet inside the air barrier.

The latter chuckled and shook his head at him, as if to say, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

That's a huge face.

Thor expressionlessly looked away, sensed something, and then chased after it in one direction.

Pell watched Kismet warily, and when Thor left, she quickly chased after him.

Tens of thousands of fireflies gathered together form a huge cloud of insects.

But if scattered throughout a pine forest, each one would be an inconspicuous presence.

A firefly landed in the grass and, in a very human-like manner, turned around to look back in the direction it had come from.

The fourth-tier wizard did not pursue them.

"Fortunately, Ophelia isn't targeting me. That means my plan hasn't been fully exposed yet."

Herbert breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, as long as we contact the tribunal, this matter will be resolved."

If Herbert sacrifices the entire No Man's Land to obtain the anchor point, he will certainly become a target of the Tribunal and the Stargate Council.

But now that his plan has failed, he no longer needs to truly break ties with the tribunal.

At most, they'll be punished and forced to sign a few more unequal treaties.

The Stargate Council and the Tribunal have been locked in a long-standing standoff, making it difficult for them to easily take action against Herbert, who is affiliated with the Tribunal.

But Ophelia, the Lord of Sky City, was different.

She created a clone in the no-man's-land, so she must also have ideas about the anchor point.

She might not let Herbert, who almost stole her target, go.

So Herbert was so frightened by Ophelia's voice that he immediately ran away.

That capricious witch might actually kill him if she's in a bad mood.

After fleeing for nearly an hour, countless fireflies dispersed. Ophelia shouldn't be chasing after them anymore.

Herbert, transformed into a firefly, gradually grew larger and became a bald wizard again.

He took out the judgment order he had on him, his face showing some resentment.

After contacting the tribunal, he realized he had no chance of securing the anchor point.

After losing his anchor point, does he still have a chance to become a fourth-order rank?

"You're not afraid of the Tribunal, but you're afraid of Sky City?" At that moment, Thor's figure reappeared behind Herbert.

As Thor spoke, grayish-white tentacles reached around Herbert's neck.

However, flames erupted on the latter's skin the next moment.

Solton immediately felt as if he had been burned by a red-hot iron plate, and quickly withdrew his tentacles, turning them back into his own palms.

"It seems your tentacles' ability isn't just to absorb pollution," Herbert sneered, raising a hand to touch the skin on the back of his neck. "You were just trying to introduce pollution into my body?"

Herbert's frustration vanished instantly.

He was just thinking he had to give up this opportunity, but he didn't expect his target to be so bold as to chase after him.

"Is the eye of the storm sleeping in your soul?" Herbert grinned maliciously, pressing his palm down to produce the crackling sound of burning firewood.

"Then I'll extract your soul, turn it into a roast goose, and see if the eye of the storm can remain calm?"

He didn't believe Thor could seal the eye of the storm on his own.

That must be a temporary suppression.

Thus, the opportunity to take the anchor point may very well appear before Herbert again!

Herbert appeared unhurried and even had the leisure to use metaphors, but in reality, he had already begun to secretly manipulate magic.

He wants to seal off this area so that Thor can no longer use teleportation.

Although he couldn't teleport, he knew that as long as he sealed the wizard's magic or sealed the magic fluctuations in the entire area, he could prevent the target from teleporting easily.

Seeing Herbert about to pounce again, Thor quickly shouted, "Don't move!"

Herbert was taken aback, but he actually stopped.

Of course, it wasn't because he listened to Thor.

Instead, the contamination that Thor applied to the back of Thor's neck during his sneak attack has started to take effect!

"What is this?"

Herbert touched the back of his neck for the second time; he had just clearly removed the contamination that Thor had tried to inject!

But when he withdrew his hand this time, he found that his palm was burning.

"It's the anchor point you've been longing for day and night."

Thor raised his left hand; the tip of his ring finger was still transparent, and the bones inside were entirely black, with only a section of white bone at the tip.

Herbert's expression changed drastically. "You obtained the anchor fragment?"

He stared at Saul with eyes blazing with fury, desperately wanting to rush forward and snatch the piece of bone back, but reason told him that it was best to run away immediately.

He didn't know how Thor managed to keep the anchor point on his fingertip.

But he knew that this thing should never be touched directly.

The polluting power emanating from it can easily corrupt a high-ranking wizard!

"You ambushed me with the anchor fragment?" Herbert suddenly remembered what Thor had done when he appeared behind him.

Before Thor could answer, Herbert transformed into tens of thousands of fireflies once more, frantically and chaotically flying outwards.

However, it didn't fly for long before it suddenly burst into flames.

Every firefly is burning.

It seems that the physical separation did not prevent the spread of pollution.

Moreover, in places unseen by Thor, in the valley occupied by the Firefly Lord, a large number of dancing fireflies suddenly began to burn simultaneously.

They buzzed and tumbled, but could not stop the flames from spreading.

Before long, all the fireflies in the No Man's Land began to burn as they flew into the sky.

It's as beautiful as a sunset.
