Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 942 Allow Me to Be Willful

Maria was crying, and in the distance, Hellie was also crying beside the crystal pillar in the Second Wizard's Tower.

Just now, he sensed Lord Murphy's presence from the crystal pillar. Having lived on the Wailing Wall since birth, Hailey understood perfectly what this meant.

He suddenly squatted down, hugged the crystal pillar, and buried his face in his hands, sobbing uncontrollably.

The last fourth-tier wizard in the far north also chose to stand in the storm sea, determined to continue fighting to protect the Wall of Sighs, even if only a corpse remained.

Most of the others were unaware of what had happened. They were still fighting the remaining Black Tide monsters. Although these monsters were mentally exhausted, their physical strength remained formidable. If it weren't for a monstrous third-tier wizard like Thor, it would still take a considerable amount of time to kill a Black Tide monster that was a hundred meters tall.

Although the battle was still ongoing, everyone's mood was completely different from two hours ago.

They had seen a glimmer of hope. As long as they eliminated these monsters, they would successfully weather the Black Tide without suffering too many casualties.

But just as these people were getting excited, someone suddenly shouted, "The Wailing Wall, the Wailing Wall... it's cracked!"

People nearby who heard the exclamation initially didn't believe it, but they still instinctively turned around to confirm.

But it turned out that the Wailing Wall really had... cracked.

Cracks have appeared on the Wall of Sighs, which is hundreds of meters high and has stood in the far north for hundreds of years.

These cracks look as if they were carved by a knife or axe, as if they had suffered inhuman damage.

Those traces hadn't appeared just a moment ago. It's as if they've suffered extremely severe internal injuries, all of which have now erupted today.

"How could this happen?"

"What happened?"

"Is someone secretly sabotaging the Wailing Wall?"

"Go find Lord Murphy immediately!"

"Go find Lord Murphy immediately!"

Finally, the consensus was "Find Lord Murphy."

Everyone believed that as long as Lord Murphy intervened, the damage to the Wailing Wall would surely be repaired.

But this time, their Lord Murphy did not appear.

When Thor returned with Claire and the others, he saw their panicked state.

Because they discovered that no matter how they called out to Murphy the Wizard, there was no response.

Maria, with red eyes, stood on the high platform of the Wailing Wall, having returned with Thor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the battle just now, Wizard Murphy encountered an extremely powerful Black Tide monster. After he successfully repelled the monster, the Black Tide also receded."

Upon hearing Maria's announcement, the previously panicked crowd erupted in cheers.

But then someone immediately asked, "Witch Maria, where is Lord Murphy now? As you can see, the Wailing Wall has suffered the worst damage in a hundred years. We need to repair it as soon as possible."

Maria choked back a sob, but still said firmly, "It needs to be repaired, but this time, we can't rely on Wizard Murphy; we can only rely on ourselves."

Some people still don't understand and think that Wizard Murphy is injured and needs to rest.

But some wizards have already discerned the truth from the lingering sorrow on Maria's face.

"Maria the Wizard, Murphy the Wizard... has something happened to him?"

Even though the wizard had guessed a bit of the truth, he didn't dare to reveal his guess in front of everyone. He could only ask Maria with a sliver of hope, hoping that Maria could personally refute his terrible conjecture.

But Maria eventually gave them the answer they least wanted to hear.

"The wizard Murphy... he has already sacrificed himself."

Unlike the uproar just now, the area inside and outside the Wailing Wall suddenly became extremely quiet.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Claire felt a pang of pity. She turned her head and saw Thor, now back in human form, standing expressionlessly in the wind.

If one day this land without a master also loses its owner, will it become as silent as this place?

Claire took a deep breath and rallied.

Although there's not much she can do, she will do everything in her power to help Saul.

Just as everyone was struggling to accept the news of Murphy's death, a dazzling gray light suddenly emanated from the crack in the Wall of Sighs.

Before the group of third- and second-tier wizards could react to what was happening, they suddenly felt something being ripped from their bodies and flying toward the Wall of Sighs in front of them.

Everyone instinctively senses that what is outside their body is very important.

Some knowledgeable people immediately associated it with a level 6 sorcery.

That was a domineering and terrifying witchcraft, a community of life!

That was originally a form of witchcraft used to create powerful combat strength. It merged the power of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people into one, forming a community of life.

They can share spirit, share soul, and even share body!

The more people who merge, the stronger they become, and the more powerful the newly merged community of life becomes!

If Thor knew about this sorcery, he would immediately recall the merman mutants that appeared in the Tribunal, which were also terrifying forces formed by the fusion of tens of thousands of mermen.

Quality over quantity.

Saul noticed the strange behavior of those around him, but he didn't feel anything amiss. He quickly looked at Claire beside him, and she was fine too.

But both Hailey and Haywood behind him were missing a piece of their souls.

And it is a very important part, but even though they have lost part of their souls, they can still stand in the same place.

Those souls, like shooting stars, streaked across the sky in arcs invisible to the naked eye, before merging into the cracks of the Wall of Sighs.

Although Thor didn't know exactly what kind of sorcery it was, he could deduce that those whose souls were absorbed into the Wailing Wall had lost their freedom.

In other words, these wizards will have to continue fighting for the Wailing Wall from now on. Because when the Wailing Wall is destroyed, their lives will come to an end.

"So this is what Murphy meant when he said 'allow me to be willful' before he died," Thor thought to himself.

That's really quite capricious.

I doubt that most of the wizards present would want to give their lives to guard the Wailing Wall.

Even if you tell them that the collapse of the Wailing Wall means the continent of State will be pulled into the Eye of the Abyss, it will be the same.

But even if it forcibly merges the Wailing Wall of many high-level wizards, its strength is probably not as good as when Murphy was alive.

Can such a northern city really withstand the next, and countless, waves of Black Tide attacks?

The wizards near the Wailing Wall were now in complete chaos.

Only those like Thor and Klee, who weren't bound to the Wailing Wall's life-sharing community, could remain calm and observe.

"They're all people who signed it." Haili was also somewhat dazed, but he wasn't as agitated or angry as those high-ranking wizards, and he quickly accepted the fact.

Thor turned to look at Helya and asked him, "You mean, the people whose souls were absorbed are the ones who signed their names on the crystal wall of the Wailing Wall?"

Hailey nodded. "Now I finally understand why Lord Murphy wouldn't let you sign back then. You are the master of No Man's Land, and to seal off any potential eye of the storm, he couldn't keep you tied up here."

"What about Mentor Gorsa? Shouldn't he have signed the crystal wall too?"

At this point, Haywood, who had been silent the whole way, said, "Lord Gorsa did not sign it; it was me who signed it."

"Did the mentor know what Murphy was going to do from the beginning?"

"No, the master simply doesn't like establishing connections with wizard towers outside of the Radiance."

Heywood remained calm, showing no agitation since learning he was permanently bound to the Wailing Wall. He accepted with composure the fate imposed upon them by the wizard Murphy.

Looking at Haywood like this, Thor suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.

"Where is Heidi...?"

"After the First Wizard Tower collapsed, she enveloped me in her shadowy form, protecting me from the corruption of the Black Tide. But she vanished when you appeared."

Heywood spoke calmly, yet he always left people with a sense of disorientation.

Having lost her body due to witchcraft, Heidi, who had been protected by her brother since childhood, finally protected him one last time in her final moments of consciousness.
