Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 736 Sacrifice

Pound's face showed a hint of doubt when he heard that Saul wanted to make a deal with him.

"In my current state, what can I possibly trade with you?"

"I'll help you find Char. Will you arrange for me to meet Beth?"

Pound was stunned.

Kate, who was behind her, was also stunned.

Unaware of Thor's betrayal of his teammates, Dean Pound could only reply, "You want me to contact Beth for you?"

Saul shrugged. "Even though you're acting like you're in pain, the fact that you're standing here is also because Beth is controlling you, right? I think you should have a way to contact her."

Pound gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know why she singled me out, but I can't contact her. If you really want to find her, you can use your spirit to leave your body and go to the core space of the Upside-Down Tree; she'll definitely be there. You're a wizard specializing in dark magic, so this shouldn't be difficult for you."

"It's not difficult, but to give up home-field advantage, go to the Tree Heart Space which is completely controlled by Beth, and then face both a former third-tier wizard and a currently third-tier demonic creature? To gamble that they still have enough rationality to kill me right away?"

Saul raised his hand and pressed it on Dean Pound's shoulders, ignoring the pain on his face. "Or you could send a message to Beth. I want to make a deal with her; if she's willing, I can help her through the ordeal of resurrection."

Kate, who was behind, couldn't listen anymore.

He thought this black-blade wizard was simply bizarre.

Kate admitted that the other party was very powerful, but that was a third-tier wizard!

He shamelessly claimed that he would help Beth be resurrected.

"Wait a minute, Dean Bai Dong just said he's Gorsa's student? Could it be that he can get Gorsa to come?"

Kate didn't know Thor's identity, but Gorsar's name had resounded throughout the entire western continent for the past century.

Every wizard who has lived here knows his power and domineering nature.

However, this person is also known for not caring about anything.

Even if the wizards in the Gorsa Wizard Tower encountered danger or were plotted against while out and about, he would never stand up for his subordinates.

Could someone like that really be invited by the Black Blade Wizard?

However, this Black Blade Wizard is no simpleton; he's practically a shrewd businessman!

In less than half a day, he has already made deals with several people.

And he turned around and sold out his former partner Char without the slightest hesitation.

Kate had originally planned to follow Saul to try and get some benefits. But now she thinks it's better not to.

He might not be able to defeat Saul.

Thinking this, the orange cat began to slowly back away.

The enemies of Baidong Academy have now become two Tier 3 enemies. This is not a fight he should be involved in. Running away is the best course of action.

Kate's decision was very wise.

Just after he silently retreated more than ten meters, Saul and Dean Pound suddenly broke down in their talks!

Dean Pound, who had just been in great pain, suddenly looked up and revealed a ferocious smile.

Two slender roots suddenly emerged from his shoulders and quickly locked onto Thor's arms.

At the same time, branches as thick as pythons sprouted from all around Thor's location in the blink of an eye.

They were like prison bars, trapping Saul and Dean Pound inside.

Pound stared at Thor's face, a look of greed appearing in his eyes for the first time.

"You don't need to worry about it, Lady Beth already has a way to revive her."

As he spoke, more branches and roots wrapped around Thor's body.

Thor tried to struggle, but found that these roots were unusually tough, even stronger than those he had encountered inside the upside-down tree.

Moreover, the moment these branches and roots wrapped around Thor's body, they began to emit a natural fragrance of grass and trees after the rain.

Even with Thor's keen sense of smell, he almost failed to detect the scent.

"poison gas?"

Saul discovered that the gas would penetrate his body upon contact, and it was clear that holding his breath could not prevent the gas from entering his body.

Seeing that Saul had failed to break free several times, and that the "prison" around him had completely closed, and that "Sprout" had begun to take effect, Pound no longer needed to pretend.

The wrinkles on his face became deeper lines, and his gray hair and beard grew thicker and longer, just like the roots behind him.

His skin turned into brown tree bark, and his eyes, mouth, nose, and other facial features became several holes in the tree.

Dean Pound has actually become a tree person!

Thor sighed. "So you've been one with the Upside-Down Tree all along. No wonder you have so many roots attached to you. But why did you help Beth? Aren't you afraid she'll really kill the Upside-Down Tree? You won't survive that either."

Pound offered no explanation, only boundless excitement. "We only intended to lure in some greedy second-tier wizards, but we unexpectedly captured such an arrogant newly promoted third-tier wizard like you! What a pleasant surprise! With you as nourishment, Lady Beth will surely be able to successfully resurrect!"

Just as Thor was about to say something, a loud explosion suddenly caught his attention.

The sound came from outside the enclosed cage of tree branches, and it wasn't just one sound, but more than a dozen, continuous and unending.

The enormous explosions grew louder and louder, seemingly originating from the inside out, and appearing to be a series of explosions centered on the upside-down tree.

The sound continued for a long time, accompanied by earth-shaking tremors, growing stronger and more terrifying with each passing moment.

Thor could already picture the tragic scene outside Archista.

Even when trapped in the tree branches, he could imagine the terrifying disaster happening outside!

He turned around, astonished, and said, "You're going to sacrifice the outer city? Sacrifice the entire Archaeological Site?"

Pound, engrossed in his triumphant laughter and the success of his plan, completely ignored Saul's questions.

Thor sighed, "Well... it seems you're not planning to make this deal with me."

Suddenly, his expression changed, and his gaze sharpened.

"Let's try diplomacy first, then resort to force. Since negotiations have broken down, let's start fighting."

His arms jerked, and the branches that had been tightly wrapped around him suddenly drooped loosely as if they had lost their support.

The roots that had pierced Thor's palm were also broken off inch by inch, and the residue that fell to the ground looked as if it had been highly corroded.

Pound's laughter sounded stuck in his throat, and his wooden eyes almost burst open.

Thor looked up again, his face now devoid of flesh, transformed into a black skull.

"Isn't it just mind manipulation and corruption? I'm quite good at that too."

After he finished speaking, large swathes of gray tentacles suddenly emerged from under his wizard's robes, like a peacock spreading its tail, and instantly shot towards the branches of the upside-down trees around him, piercing holes in the sealed "prison".

Sunlight shone in and fell on Thor's face, instantly creating wisps of black mist within the beam of light.

It made Thor instantly seem like a messenger from the abyss.

The smile on Pound's face vanished completely, and suddenly large buds sprouted from his rough, bark-like face, which rapidly grew brown leaves.

The leaves are arranged in pairs, with edges like sharp teeth. When they open and close, the leaves strike each other, producing a metallic clanging sound.

Then, a large number of leaves bit Thor and his surrounding tentacles like mad dogs.

The blade biting the tentacle immediately pierced the surface of the tentacle's skin, but black liquid also flowed out from the bitten area, directly corroding the blade.

But more leaves then fell on Thor.

The leaf that bit into Thor's bone didn't leave a single mark on it.

Bones that can withstand the corrosive power of the Black Tide will not be harmed by a few demonic leaves.

However, Thor was also imprisoned by the attack of the leaves.

Pound breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Saul was trapped by him again.

"Although we've trapped him, we still can't absorb his soul. It's a pity we can't turn him into a sacrifice for Lady Beth for now. However, once Lady Beth has completely sacrificed the entire city and merged with the inverted tree to become the new locator, she can truly be resurrected! At that time, this kid will become Lady Beth's first nourishment after her resurrection!"

A smile returned to Pound's face.
