"I just... don't want to make any more mistakes."
Richard gasped for breath, realizing he had actually detected a hint of concern in Wu's voice. So the injury was so severe that even his hearing was impaired...
Seeing Richard struggling to support his swaying body, Wu snorted coldly and waved his hand, freeing the other six demons who had been bound by magic.
"Eric, Lisa, go and pull Richard away."
Wu's order stunned the two men who were named. If it were Brian, he would definitely have sent them to teach Richard a lesson for daring to disobey him.
But this president, whom I was meeting for the first time...
Wasn't the skull wand supposed to make Guild Master Wu seem cruel? How come he's being so...gentle with them?
Eric and Lisa obediently went to help the seriously injured Richard, but Sora suddenly stood between the three of them, Mu and the host.
"Kūno, do you also want to defy me?" Wu's gaze darkened.
Sora met his questioning gaze. Though somewhat afraid, she still said, "Richard is right. I don't want to get my hands dirty with blood anymore..."
This scene made Richard and Lisa, who had only taken two steps, feel a chill. Although they didn't know why Wu was treating them this way, after being contradicted twice in a row, Wu probably wouldn't be able to tolerate it this time.
However, their next move surprised them greatly.
Wu glanced at Sora deeply, then walked past her and headed towards the host trio.
After Mu walked past her, Sora realized her back was drenched in sweat. Her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground. She thought she was going to die, but why was President Mu...?
"I am not that useless personality."
“Konna, Eric, Richard, Lisa, and Markbeth (Midnight), you are all my most beloved children, and I will never hurt you.”
These gentle words, spoken by Wu, stunned everyone present.
The skull wand, used to unlock the "living link" insurance, was even more unbelievable. Was this still the same Wu Daren who enjoyed cruel slaughter?
Ignoring everyone else, he went straight to the trio of male escorts, a maniacal smile on his face as if the tenderness he had shown just moments before was an illusion.
"Destroy everything tangible, and destroy anyone who dares to harm my children, no matter what they are!"
"The Ever-Dark Rondo!"
With a single wave of his hand, Wu instantly transformed magic into multiple dark green torrents, roaring with death, striking the three members of the Blue Pegasus trio while simultaneously launching an attack on Leo and the unconscious Sherry.
"You want to kill them? That won't do."
A sudden ripple appeared in the air, and the scattered waves of magic were forcibly reversed by an even more powerful force, crashing towards the empty sky.
Hearing the booming explosions in the sky, Wu turned his head to look at the central tower on the side, only to see a black-haired boy who had appeared there at some point.
Chapter 144 You'd better collapse before my magic runs out.
The moment it saw Hope, the skull wand cried out in alarm, "Weren't you supposed to be in the 'Nirvana' control room? Why are you back all of a sudden?!"
You mean this?
Hope tapped his forehead with his right index finger. "Of course, I learned what happened on the ground through 'telepathic' magic."
After using the "Telepathy" spell to relay some of Brian's memories to his companions, Hope did not dispel the spell for the time being because it consumed very little mana.
I originally intended to facilitate communication among everyone while exploring 'Nirvana'.
Unexpectedly, they heard Leo's cry for help first.
It has to be said that the strategic value of the 'telepathy' magic is extremely high, otherwise Hope wouldn't have been able to get back so quickly.
"Speaking of which, you're just a magic wand, yet you can talk and even have feelings. That's really strange."
Sensing Hope's burning gaze, the Skull Wand swiftly dodged behind Wu, pulled out a skull, and provocatively said, "I was created by Lord Wu himself. You think you can just lust after my body...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the skull wand was instantly snapped in two by Wu.
The skull rolled to the ground, its empty eye sockets staring incredulously at Wu. "Lord Wu, I carried out my mission so brilliantly, why..."
"boring."
Not a single skull was crushed underfoot. "How incredibly boring!"
Dark green magic surged from his body like boiling magma. He slowly turned around, his blood-red pupils locking onto Hope.
"Oh? Is it you?"
A more excited and ferocious smile appeared on Wu's face. "You're the one who defeated Midnight and forced my useless personality to break free of its seal, aren't you?"
The magic permeating the air suddenly became several times heavier, and the tiny pebbles on the ground began to float upwards against gravity, only to turn into dust the instant they ascended.
Without opening his arms, an even greater amount of magic power gathered in an instant, and dark magic, wrapped in destructive energy, blasted towards Hope at such a speed that even a fleeting afterimage was difficult to catch.
Although they share the same body and use the same "dark" magic, Wu's strength is far beyond what Bryan can compare to.
Hope turned his body to the side, the dark torrent brushing past his hair. He brought his right index and middle fingers together, and a point of silver light, as bright as starlight, shone from the fingertips. He then pointed at Wu's wrist with his backhand.
A sharp pain shot through Wu's wrist, and the magic power he was channeling was slightly dissipated by the tap.
They exchanged over a dozen blows, and each time Brian's powerful magic was countered by Hope, who found an opening and used a spell with lower magic consumption to break it.
"interesting."
Wu licked his lips, his eyes turning even redder. "You've even learned a spell like 'Moon Godslayer,' but it's a pity you used up so much magic power before, now you can only resort to such petty tricks."
"Let's see how much longer you can let me enjoy this?!"
"Ever Dark Fantasy: Hundredfold!"
Dark green magic surged wildly in the explosion of nothingness.
In an instant, hundreds of dark magic bullets attacked Hope from different angles.
Even worse, these powerful magic bullets continued to split and multiply during their flight, like a living swarm of dark bees.
With his right hand outstretched towards the sky, a complex magic circle composed of silver runes rotated in his palm. Silver moonlight immediately descended from the sky, colliding with the swarm of dark magic bullets.
A chaotic and intense roar continued to ring out.
The once well-preserved ancient city grounds were ravaged by the aftershocks of their magical clash, leaving behind a trail of hideous scars.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Not bad! Someone like you is definitely worth destroying!"
Wu's madness was fully revealed. While maintaining the full output of Dark Fantasy, he was still able to free up a hand to cast another spell.
With a push of his right hand, dark green magic suddenly coalesced into a giant spiral-shaped spell, which slammed straight into the magical curtain of moonlight.
The stalemate was broken instantly.
Hope, whose magic was already running low, had no time to retaliate before being engulfed by the overwhelming dark magic, along with the central tower behind her, which was bombarded relentlessly.
The ear-piercing explosion echoed for a long time.
The tower, which had been buried underground for over 400 years, was reduced to a burning ruin shortly after it was brought back to light.
With little magic left, Hope was no match for this level of attack. Looking at the ruins of the tower, he laughed heartily, his destructive desires slightly satisfied.
"As expected! Destruction is the most satisfying thing!"
Meanwhile, the Oración Seis and Leo, who were in the audience, all had strange expressions, because Hope, who had died helplessly under the ruins of the tower, was now standing with them in the audience.
Apart from running out of magic, this guy was perfectly fine.
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Wu turned his head and saw Hope waving at him from next to Eric, instantly igniting his anger.
"You despicable scoundrel! You've run out of magic, so you're trying to threaten me with my children?!"
Hope was taken aback. What was this guy talking about?
Is valuing family and companions a line you, as a major villain, would say?
This world has gone mad.
Hope stepped forward and said generously, "Don't worry, I'm not as despicable as you dark mages. I'm upright and honorable."
Wu snorted coldly, "Being fair and square requires skill. With your magic power exhausted, what can you use to fight me?"
Hope nodded. "Indeed, I was even forced to disconnect from 'telepathy,' and now I can't squeeze out a single drop of magic."
"When I use magic, you should willingly let me defeat you. Since you still refuse to fall even when my magic is exhausted, I'll just have to show you other powers."
It was as if I had heard a lame joke; I gave it a dismissive laugh.
Besides magic, the only other skill that mages in the world can be considered proficient in is physical combat. However, for a mage of his caliber, the effectiveness of physical combat depends on being evenly matched in terms of magic.
"Just because..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu saw Hope's figure suddenly disappear from the spot.
So fast!
Wu stared wide-eyed, completely unable to keep up with Hope's speed. Wasn't that guy out of magic? How could he still unleash such terrifying speed?
Before he could react, Hope had already appeared in front of him, and his fist, which had no magic attached to it, slammed straight into his face!
Wu seemed to hear the sound of a skull shattering.
The immense force propelled him like a cannonball towards the nearby ruins.
Hope had already appeared at the finish line and threw a punch at Wu, who was shooting towards him. Wherever the wind from his punch passed, the surrounding brick and stone ruins crumbled into powder.
"Magnetic field rotation, 30,000 horsepower!"
"Whale-Slaying Overlord Fist!"
Chapter 145 Violent Crushing, Severing the Path of Life
Sensing the approaching deadly crisis, Wu abruptly twisted his body in mid-air, raising his arms in front of him to assume a defensive stance. Dark magic instantly enveloped his entire body like armor.
Wu didn't even see Hope's movements clearly; he only felt a savage, unreasonable force instantly break through the magical defenses and slam into his abdomen.
It wasn't a magical impact; there was no burst of magical light. Yet it was more direct, more savage, and more violent than any magic.
"Ughhhhh!"
Wu's body was curled up like a shrimp, his eyes bulging, and what spewed from his mouth was not only blood and foam, but also fragments of his internal organs.
Like a nail struck by a giant hammer, he flew backward at a terrifying speed, crashing through three ancient buildings in succession, finally leaving a deep human-shaped dent in a thick stone wall.
