Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 949 A Corpse

"Mentor, you've regained consciousness?" Thor ignored Gorsa's talk about whether or not to save him, and was pleasantly surprised that the other person was still conscious.

It's like seeing a strainer filled with a lot of water.

"...The abyss is...a corpse."

Gorza clearly lacked the strength to explain how he managed to retain a degree of consciousness despite his spiritual body being alienated.

He told Thor directly about his most important discovery in the abyss.

The message he was sending was so faint that only Thor, who was crouching down next to him, could receive it.

"A corpse?" Thor thought of the grayish-white skeletons inside the abyss. Those were indeed corpses. But it didn't match something his mentor had said.

Thor suddenly opened his eyes wide. He recalled the starry sky he had seen when he descended from the Chaotic Realm into the Abyss, and combined it with various plot points he had read in novels, he suddenly had a guess.

Could the Eye of the Abyss be... a dead world?

But then I thought, if it were a dead world, Instructor Gorsa probably wouldn't use corpses to describe it.

Then at least to some extent, it is a powerful existence comparable to the world.

Sixth-order destroys the world; seventh-order creates the world.

Both of these levels are possible.

But Thor thought about it and realized that the Abyss was more likely to be a sixth-order entity.

The seventh tier is a more terrifying existence than the Deathbringer of the Rainbow World. Thor believes that if the Deathbringer truly wanted to destroy the wizarding world, it wouldn't use such a gentle and ancient method.

Yes, the Black Tide crisis that has lasted for over a century is probably just a mild form of killing in the face of the Death Demon.

But if the Abyss is truly the corpse of a sixth-order being, how can they possibly resist it?

Even though the current sixth-tier beings are dead, their remaining influence is already slowly destroying the world.

No wonder Camus said the end of the world was unstoppable.

At this moment, Gorsa, who seemed to have rested for a few seconds, sent another message to Thor.

"The corpse doesn't want to eat..."

This statement left Thor completely baffled. Corpses obviously don't need to eat. But his mentor certainly didn't just say that casually, so what special meaning did it hold?

However, Gorsa, who had finally managed to convey two messages, seemed to be weakening again, and even the mental energy gathered by Thor showed signs of dissipating.

With no other option, Thor had to use the Soul-Stabilizing Spell Circle again to heal and repair the Gorsa Instructor, and it took another five days for the instructor to improve somewhat.

However, Gorsa seemed never to regain consciousness and did not convey any further information to Thor.

Seeing his mentor so weak and teetering on the brink of mental collapse, Thor made a decision.

He found Chief Norton and said bluntly, "Lord Norton, I want to take my mentor away from here to a place that is almost free of pollution."

Norton was certainly not keen on it; if possible, he would have preferred Gorsar to inherit the Radiance. Thor was merely his second choice.

Even if Thor is the most suitable to inherit the Radiance, how can he compare to Gorza, whom he has carefully nurtured since childhood?

Their feelings towards Radiance are also completely different.

Since Gorsar showed signs of improvement under Thor's care, Norton's mindset has changed again. This shows that even a powerful fourth-tier wizard like Norton thinks like an ordinary person in some ways.

This time, it was Edgar who persuaded Patriarch Norton.

"Chief, I trust Wizard Thor. After all, if he wanted to harm Lord Gorsa, he could have easily avoided rescuing him, and none of us could have said anything. We ourselves couldn't do that. So, since Wizard Thor wants to take Lord Gorsa away, let's agree. How much worse can things get?"

Edgar added, "Moreover, the world side is not as stable as the main world, and we have quite a few sources of pollution here. It would be better to let Lord Gorsa go back to recuperate."

It must be said that Edgar was capable enough to be considered a potential successor to Gorza.

They are just slightly inferior in strength.

At Edgar's urging, Norton finally agreed to Thor's request. He also prepared a considerable amount of magical materials to help Thor better treat Gorsa, and even included a free spatial artifact.

This spatial device, personally modified by Norton, is far superior to the locator Thor is currently using. Not only is it highly stable and has a large internal space, but it's also very easy to conceal.

It was made to resemble a traditional designer brand, so it could be carried around or implanted in the body. Thor ultimately chose to give it to Little Algae.

Then, under Norton's reluctant gaze, Thor led Mentor Gorza away from the side of the Radiant World.

After Thor left the side of the Radiant World and found a cliff by the sea, he dug out a temporary cave. Once he was sure no one was following him, he took out the Chaotic Compass he had retrieved from Klee and, together with Instructor Gorza, came to the Chaotic World, which was almost devoid of magic and elemental particles!

This place, free from magical interference, is the perfect spot to restore one's mental energy.

Although the mentor's physical injuries were also severe, the immediate priority was to save his mental body.

After arriving in the Chaotic Realm, Thor once again set up the Soul-Stabilizing Array in the Black Desert, using magic crystals for energy throughout, as well as sorcery materials provided by Radiance.

This time, Thor only activated the Soul-Stabilizing Array once, and he heard Instructor Gorsa's voice again.

"I need...Yura."

Thor was somewhat shocked. What was this? A prodigal son returning home?

That's not right either, Gorsa isn't a prodigal son.

Could it be that the iron tree is blooming?

Recalling Gorza's style of doing things, Thor felt that there must be another reason. He decided to wait for the compass to cool down before bringing Yura over to take a look.

A day later, Thor returned to the north shore of Iskeper from the Chaotic Realm and connected to the Rainbow Channel to have Char find someone to escort Yura to the ultra-long-distance teleportation array near the Dwarf Valley, while he would meet him in Iskeper.

To prevent Yura from escaping halfway, Char simply used the Upside-Down Tree to control Yura's consciousness, making her unable to control her own body.

So when Thor saw Yura again, Yura was unconscious.

Char, escorting Yura over, asked Thor with some curiosity, "You brought your mentor's wife with you. Does your mentor know?"

Char had already witnessed Gorza's power and cunning in the Principality of Koma, and was worried that Thor might do something outrageous that would anger Gorza.

"Although she's your ex-wife, and although you two have your share of grievances, you'd better not interfere..."

Thor saw Char's worried expression, as if he had some ulterior motive for asking Yura! But for Gorza's safety, Thor could not reveal his mentor's whereabouts to anyone.

Thor simply rolled his eyes at Char and casually gave an excuse: "The Glorious Ones want to see Yura, but I don't know the specifics."

"I see." Xia Ya seemed a little skeptical.

Thor wasn't actually lying, he was just deliberately obscuring the truth. Even so, he looked at Char with obvious displeasure. "By the way, give me a branch from the main trunk of the Upside-Down Tree."

Char immediately clutched his chest. "What are you going to do?"

"Of course it's for research. I've used up the previous ones, so give me some more." Thor had promised to give his mentor some samples of the inverted tree, and he also wanted to keep some for his own experiments.

Xia said with a long face, "If you keep pulling, I'll go bald."

But he was powerless to resist.

After driving Char away, Thor had the algae wrap the unconscious Yora into a cocoon shape, and then take her back to the Chaotic Realm the next day to see his mentor.
