Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience

Chapter 745: Chapter 51: This Scheming Nemesis

Lynch could clearly sense the almost tangible, icy murderous intent surging in Alfred’s gray eyes.

Clearly, the contingency plan he had set up back then with Yina’s Resentful Spirit, though it hadn’t succeeded in eliminating his target, had certainly caused this reckless fellow a considerable amount of trouble, possibly even having serious repercussions.

However, under the protection of the Magic Array, Lynch had absolute confidence. He shrugged nonchalantly, a tone of unabashed regret in his voice: "Was it only a bit of trouble? That’s really too bad!"

As long as he remained within this area, he could maintain Rule Level strength. No matter how many tricks Alfred hid, his essence was still that of a Domain Wizard. In the face of such a fundamental gap in rules, any tricks seemed futile.

Alfred clearly realized this too. The murderous intent in his eyes receded like a tide, and the slight contortion of his face from anger smoothed out, returning to its enigmatic coldness.

He shot Lynch a deep look, his tone calm yet unyieldingly determined: "My friend, I’ll be sure to keep this account in mind."

He emphasized the word "friend," full of sarcasm, "Next time we meet, we’ll... settle this properly."

Lynch’s mind raced, yet he wore a seemingly relaxed smile, attempting to buy time: "Aren’t you going to stay and chat a bit longer? After all, it’s been so long since we last met, we should really ’catch up,’ share our experiences over the years, maybe even have a couple of drinks, don’t you think?"

Secretly, he had already sent a message via Spiritual Link to Space and Vanilla, who were speeding towards him. If he could gather enough Domain Power, he was quite certain they could capture Alfred completely.

Unfortunately, Alfred’s vigilance and cunning far exceeded the average person, and he wasn’t falling for it at all.

"Hmph! A childish delay tactic!" He snorted coldly, his face openly mocking.

Then, without any hesitation, his figure blurred and transformed into a thin gray shadow, merging into the surrounding shadows, swiftly heading towards the depths of the Dark Forest, without a pause, with such decisiveness that it was astonishing.

Lynch squinted his eyes, staring intently in the direction Alfred had disappeared, his gaze flickering, his mind racing with various thoughts. The speed of his nemesis’s growth and his timing mastery posed a strong threat to him.

"Lynch!"

Just ten seconds after Alfred left, a hurried call from Space followed. His calculation was terrifyingly precise, clearly having predicted that reinforcements were imminent to arrive.

Lynch turned his head to see Space and Vanilla come into view quickly. Despite just having experienced a fierce battle, the two seemed relatively refreshed after a brief rest. Vanilla rushed to Lynch’s side, tightly gripping the Cross Sword, her fiery red eyes still blazing with fighting spirit, immediately asking: "Where’s the enemy? Where’s the enemy?"

Lynch shrugged helplessly, pointing in the direction Alfred had fled: "A step too late, he’s already gone."

Vanilla’s eyebrows shot up at his words, unhesitatingly declaring: "What are we waiting for then? Let’s chase him down! We can’t let a tiger return to the mountains!"

But Lynch slowly shook his head, his tone steady: "No need, we can’t catch up with him."

He knew Alfred too well. If he chose to retreat, he must have calculated all his escape routes and prepared sufficient contingencies.

In the vast and complex environment of the 95th Floor, a Domain Wizard determined to hide, especially someone as crafty as Alfred, wouldn’t be easily found. If they rashly split up to pursue, they might instead be picked off one by one, falling into even greater peril.

Pausing, a cold glimmer flashed in Lynch’s eyes as he shifted the topic: "However, we don’t need to rush. After all... there are plenty of others who will act on our behalf."

Saying this, he turned his head, asking Space with a tone seeking confirmation: "Space, if I recall correctly, you once told me that Alfred... he seemed to have joined up under that ’Eternal Night King’ Morris, and became an apprentice to that Truth Wizard, didn’t he?"

Previously, after Space noticed the animosity between Lynch and Alfred, she had purposely gathered some intelligence and shared it with Lynch. As a result, Lynch learned about Alfred’s movements following his departure from the Jade Land.

The details weren’t entirely clear, but the outline was apparent: After defecting, Alfred somehow successfully connected with Land of Freedom’s circle and eventually joined the Tower of Order’s camp.

Much like Lynch, he also operated under a disguised identity, leveraging the power and resources of the Tower of Order, cleansing himself of the Supreme Arrest Warrant, and steadily rising within the Tower of Order.

Ultimately, he even demonstrated a talent or value enough to impress a Truth Wizard, successfully becoming an apprentice under the holder of Eternal Night Truths, Wizard Morris!

This placed him at the true core of the Tower of Order, a Truth Level existence atop the pinnacle of the Wizard World!

For Alfred to climb such heights, his methods and scheming were evident.

However...

This also meant that if his betrayal of Cyrus and the Tower of Order’s interests were exposed today, he’d face the overwhelming wrath of a Truth Wizard!

At this thought, Lynch’s lips curled into a cold, calculating smile. He looked at Space and asked: "If... I were to find a way to contact the Eternal Night King Morris, could it be done?"

This idea seemed bold, even somewhat arrogant. A Truth Wizard, what kind of existence was that? They stood at the pinnacle of power and knowledge in the Wizard World, overlooking all, high and mighty! Across the vast Wizard World, their numbers could be counted on one hand, making them living legends in the truest sense.

Even though Lynch was now a force controlling a Witch Domain, considered strong among Domain Levels, there remained a deep, insurmountable chasm between him and the Realm of Truth. Normally, a Domain Wizard had neither the qualification nor the means to directly converse with a Truth Wizard.

However, situations always have exceptions.

Upon hearing this, Space frowned slightly and pondered before nodding: "Hmm...it’s almost impossible under your own name. Truth Wizards typically don’t entertain direct contact from the Domain Level. But..."

She shifted her tone, her eyes gleaming with understanding: "If we leverage Fran’s name, with the teacher personally reaching out and coordinating...while the process might be somewhat tedious, it should still be feasible to establish a temporary communication channel."

Fran, being one of the Four Great Witch Realms, led by the Star Speaker Gulwige, who himself was a supreme entity mastering Space Truth, certainly held the qualification to speak on equal terms with the Eternal Night King Morris.

A sharp light flashed in Lynch’s eyes as he immediately nodded: "Alright! Then it’s settled. Once we leave the Lost Tower and return to Fran, I’ll trouble the teacher to help contact the Eternal Night King for me."

He believed that with the capabilities and influence of the Eternal Night King, he had likely already, through some unknown means, caught wind of this betrayal at the edge of the Lost Tower. For Alfred, who dared to deceive and betray him, Morris must be seething with hatred at this moment!

However, Alfred was clearly aware of this as well; if he dared this path, he must have prepared thoroughly for concealment and escape. A Domain Wizard, adept in Death and Shadow Law and determined to hide, wouldn’t be easy even for a Truth Wizard to pinpoint swiftly in the vast Wizard World.

Yet...

A deep, profound light flickered in the depths of Lynch’s gray eyes. The situation wasn’t without hope.

If... the Eternal Night King were privy to some unique traits and potential weaknesses of the "Eye of Death God"? If he could obtain some... critical intel only an "old friend" possessing the same eyes and familiar with Alfred could provide?

The efficiency of searching and capturing would likely be a different scenario altogether.

Pausing, Lynch added a deeply meaningful remark: "There are some things... I want to personally say to the Eternal Night King."

"Alright, alright..."

"Say it!"
