Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 968 Failure

Kismet shrugged, said nothing, and obediently stood in the center of the magic circle.

Thor did one last check to make sure Kismet hadn't tampered with it before taking out the magic crystal and placing it inside the auxiliary magic circle that provided the energy.

At the same time, a black, thin, horizontal tentacle extended from the back of his neck.

It grew and spread little by little around the auxiliary and central magic circles, encircling the magic circles and Kismet and Thor inside.

The algae drew a circle on the ground, continued to grow upwards, intertwined, and climbed, eventually forming a black protective shield.

Kismet looked at the starlight seeping through the gaps in the vines above him. "Are you afraid of being attacked from behind? Or are you afraid others will see your magic circle?"

Thor had already reached his position, raising his hands slightly and circling them in front of his chest. "This magical light and shadow is quite obvious, but it's very fast. Having Little Algae conceal our figures is also to buy some time."

Thor hadn't yet established a good relationship with the local powers, so to prevent outsiders from suddenly appearing and subconsciously disrupting his magic array, Thor decided to be cautious.

As soon as Thor finished speaking, the runes on the magic circle beneath his feet lit up one by one, spreading like wildfire.

Kismet, standing at the other end of the magic circle, stared intently at the changes in the magic circle beneath his feet and the flow of magic power within it.

This power was too peculiar; he had never seen it before, and didn't even know how Thor had mastered it.

He had been monitoring Thor's movements all along, but Thor seemed to have suddenly learned this magical power in a dream, and he could control it with ease, as if he had mastered this power many years ago.

From the first time Kismet met Thor, he felt that the guy was extremely mysterious, like a book whose pages could never be turned to the end, with unknown foreshadowing waiting to be revealed.

Therefore, even after retrieving his soul fragment, Kismet still referred to Thor as his master.

The most important reason is that this guy can always pique his curiosity. It's like an unpredictable fate; no one knows the answer until the very last moment.

Kismet loved the unknown because everything about him had been arranged long ago.

Whether it was being imprisoned in a quill, creating pages of the Death Wizard's Diary around the world after his escape, or welcoming each new owner of the diary and testing their abilities, all of this was fixed in his body and consciousness a very, very long time ago.

All he could do was add a touch of his own wicked humor to this predetermined fate.

Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. Every day seems different, yet also the same.

It wasn't until a small manor whose name he couldn't even remember that Kismet met the diary's newest owner.

He suddenly realized that this guy seemed kind of interesting.

"Pay attention!" Thor noticed that Kismet was staring at his feet and seemed a little distracted, so he quickly called out.

Kismet lifted his eyelids, revealing a confident smile.

"Don't worry, my little brother master, I will cooperate fully."

Thor stopped speaking, and the magic circle was officially activated.

The next second, a beam of red light shot up from the ground. After being filtered by the algae, the scattered red rays were cast into the sky.

The five auxiliary magic circles then lit up with the same red light, only the beams were thinner. The five red rays rose into the sky simultaneously, then twisted halfway up and turned towards Kismet.

The magic crystals placed on the magic circle were melting rapidly, like ice and snow being reborn in fire. To ensure the stability of the magic circle, Thor continued to channel magic power into it.

Thor looked up and stared at Kismet, the most important figure in the center of the magic circle.

Once all the red beams of light converge on him, Thor will immediately mobilize the power of destiny to establish a connection with Kismet and transmit this power to the other four targets. At the same time, he will also extract equivalent power from the other four targets to build upon Kismet.

Once it is established that everyone's command power can be transferred and feedback to each other, Thor's complex symphony of fate, built over many years, will be fully completed.

However, the next second, Thor watched helplessly as five red beams of light pierced through Kismet's body and landed on the ground behind him.

It was as if Kismet had never stood in the magic circle, or that it had never sensed the fate that was on Kismet's shoulders.

The beam of light failed to find a connection with its destiny and disappeared automatically after falling into the ground.

Then, the magic circle beneath Thor's feet gradually went out.

Only the half-melted magic crystals on the ground can tell people what happened.

The little grass silently retreated, sensing the somewhat oppressive atmosphere, and quickly burrowed back into the back of Thor's neck.

Kismet looked down at his chest, then looked up at Thor. All the cynicism and frivolous smile on his face vanished, and he looked somewhat bewildered.

"Brother Master, is it... a failed operation?"

Thor was also somewhat puzzled. "The red light is activating normally, which means there's nothing wrong with my magic manipulation."

This was the first time Thor had encountered a situation where target binding failed.

Although he said there was no problem, he had already begun circling several magic circles to check them. He wanted to determine which step had caused the conflict.

However, after checking everything, Thor still couldn't find any errors in his calculations, so he had no choice but to go to Kismet.

At the beginning, Thor noticed that the slight confusion that had just appeared on Kismet's face had disappeared.

There was no sly smile on his face either.

This shouldn't be Kismet's doing. The emotional fluctuations the other party just displayed were surprise and...disappointment.

"Someone who can't be chosen by the thread of fate? Does Kismet hold some other secret?"

No amount of thinking would help. Thor walked up to Kismet. "I need to confirm first, did you put up any resistance?"

Kismet slowly shook his head.

For some reason, Saul felt very uncomfortable with Kismet's serious and earnest demeanor.

"It seems there's something wrong with you. Perhaps you're not adapting to the power of fate." Thor consulted Kismet first. "Before trying again, I need to check your physical condition, is that alright?"

Wizards are not the type to give up easily. Experiment failures are not uncommon. Thor quickly began reviewing the experimental procedures and summarizing the errors.

But for some reason, Kismet raised his hand and stood between Thor and himself.

His movements were somewhat stiff, and his face was expressionless.

"No need," he said. "I know what happened. So... no need."

He offered no explanation and turned to leave.

As soon as he took his second step, Kismet's figure disappeared, as if he couldn't stay there for even a moment longer.

"Brother Thor, he's so weird!" Penny seized the opportunity to run out again. "But I'm still happy to see him make that face! Hahahaha..."

Penny laughed without a care in the world.

Saul, however, didn't see any glee in Kismet's misfortune. After realizing the problem might be with him, Kismet's mood instantly plummeted, even bordering on despair.

Although Kismet tried his best to hide it, Thor had already figured out his temperament.

The other party is someone connected to the diary, and not just an ordinary black page consciousness.

Is the fact that Saul couldn't become his fifth target also related to the diary?

Is the reason why some people cannot accept their fate line...?

Doesn't it have its own destiny line?
