A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 652: Chapter 652: Smooth Arrival

Tidal World.

The blood-red full moon felt oppressive, emitting constant feelings of foreboding and fear, as if the entire world’s oceans had been dyed a crimson red, shrouding everything in death.

Amidst the surging tides, a giant octopus slowly emerged from the sea’s depths, its countless tentacles each stretching dozens of meters long, with green algae clinging to its suckers, occasionally being fed into its mouth, crunching and grinding audibly.

Atop the head of this giant octopus stood a creature reminiscent of a small elf with bluish-green skin, standing one meter tall, covered with fine scales, holding a metallic trident. Although its body was small, it seemed to harbor unimaginable power, with the surrounding waves, kilometers around, surging as though in sync with its breathing.

Plop...

"Your Majesty the Sea King, from that blood-red moon, I felt the world’s will trembling and crying; this is the source of evil, the shadow of slaughter, the enemy to Tidal World’s continued peace."

Around the giant octopus, one after another, hundreds of Tidal Giants emerged halfway from the waters.

Standing four to five meters tall, their bodies were stout and powerful, covered in blue-green scales and bone armor like metal, wielding weapons resembling metal anchors, glancing coldly at the blood-red moon in the sky.

"The tides are in reverse; peace requires all of us to maintain it together. This place will be peaceful! The blood-red moon? I’ll ask the Sage of Wisdom."

The giant octopus, carrying the Tidal Sprite, dove back into the sea.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Tidal Giants also sank in with a resounding "plop."

......

On the Source Will Space Fortress of the Wizard World.

Green stood atop the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab, poised and mysterious, while thousands of Demonic Hunter Dark Wizards, Elemental Stigmata Sorcerers, and Wither Tower Stigmata Wizards summoning Soul Slave Monsters crowded the Space Fortress Square platform.

Perhaps it was Green’s First-Level Honor Medal aura that drew the Origin Will of the Wizard World’s attention, or perhaps it was the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab, but Green’s surroundings did not experience crowding.

In the sky and ground within the fortress, numerous Soul Slaves flapped their wings or shifted their bodies, keeping a distance from Green, similar to several Stigmata Sorcerers in the sky.

Underneath the Face of Truth, Green was in deep thought.

"Demon-Hunting Wizards hunt for world resources, Stigmata Sorcerers hunt for world treasures, True Spirit Wizards hunt for world history. The splendid treasures lost in the Endless World often hide in clues buried by the sands of history!"

This Demon Hunting Expedition’s focus for Green would be on accomplishing the task of locating the Titan’s Spear.

Regarding the expedition itself, with Green’s extensive Demon Hunting experience, conquering this world seemed like a natural outcome—even if he joined, it would likely just yield some Third-class Honor Medals as sorcerer essence rewards.

As for the Titan’s Spear’s clues, even if the reward is lesser, the mere thought of possibly involving some historical information of a civilization’s annihilation already made Green feel it was worthwhile.

After participating in several Demon Hunting Expeditions, Green’s vision expanded; while each world had its distinct characteristics, they no longer felt as mysteriously intriguing and filled with unknowns as before.

"Oh mighty Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird, listen to my will and appear, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

Xiao Ba flew down from Green’s shoulder, landed on the red long hair of the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab’s back, and begun playing idly, while half a meter high Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird appeared with a flash from the space ring on Xiao Ba’s toe, its eleven heads eagerly nuzzling Xiao Ba.

"Little Wan, soon don’t run around wildly; I’ll teach you my hunting techniques well. After all, we are destined to stand at the top of the food chain, ha, ha, ha! Stay by Master Eight’s side, and you will climb to the highest life form levels of the Endless World. Once you grow your ten thousandth head..."

Disregarding Xiao Ba and the Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird’s playful interaction on the side, Green stood atop the massive Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab, seemingly becoming the center of a small group of Demon-Hunting Wizards. Observing briefly, Green noted that nearly a thousand Demon-Hunting Wizards were subtly converging towards him, prepared to follow his lead when the world war imminently escalates.

This number nearly matched the majority of Arcane Wizards from Nine-Headed Fury Wizarding Academy, not to mention these were Demonic Hunter Dark Wizards specializing in lethal witchcraft research!

Furthermore, nearby the Dark Wizards were several smaller, scattered teams of ten or dozens, edging closer to Green’s location.

The energy column of the Seven Rings Life Tree pierced the sky, leveraging the Lever of Destiny rule to pry open a time-space crack, through which Green peeked into an Endless Sea unfolding with tumultuous waves, seemingly feeling the salty sea breeze rushing directly from this world.

Buzz...

For the Space Fortress, crossing through the time-space crack was a mere instant, yet for the Tidal World, it could be several months, years, or even decades.

With a buzz, the Space Fortress crossed the time-space crack, entering the Tidal World.

On the Space Fortress, the sorcerer’s cloak atop the square was removed, as the Source Will Invasion Technique of the Fortress Heart began gradually deploying.

Woo woo la la...

Millions of vicious, brutal, bloodthirsty, formidable Soul Slave Monsters dispersed from the Space Fortress, with exits appearing as if spewing thick black smoke, as a continuous stream of Soul Slaves squeezed through, flying out.

These Soul Slaves formed a circular protective layer encircling the Space Fortress, instinctively guarding it according to the Wizard World’s expedition rules, preventing excessive losses to Demon-Hunting Wizards before the Origin Will Invasion was entirely executed after the fortress’s arrival.

Yet...

Everything seemed too peaceful!

Nearly half a Hourglass later, as the Space Fortress stood under the sky above the Endless Sea, the sprawling ocean waves continued peacefully churning without any signs of world resistance.

Could it be this world lacks intelligent species?

Impossible!

The Shadow Spy Sorcerers gathered comprehensive information on this world, confirming the Tidal Giants possess considerable intelligence and societal structures, unlikely to be oblivious to the anomalous blood-red moon caused by the Space Fortress.

Could it be that for this world, the Space Fortress’s stay within the time-space crack was too brief, so this world had yet to react significantly to the Wizard World’s invasion?

This was somewhat likely.

The Demon-Hunting Wizards whispered among themselves, some observing the Endless Sea pondering on their own, awaiting developments silently in the absence of orders from the Combat Command or without Stigmata Sorcerer instructions.

Two days later.

A wave of an invisible ripple spread from the Source Will Space Fortress across the world like undulating water waves, signifying the successful invasion by the Origin Will of the Wizard World.

Immediately, layers of sorcerer’s cloak appeared atop the Demon-Hunting Wizards, space airships, and the Space Fortress, substantially strengthening them!

However, the sea surface across the entire world remained tranquil, undisturbed. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian () to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m. for reading.)
