Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 467: Chapter 189: Subduing the Crystal Witch

This path leads to a forgotten cave.

Inside the cave, intricate and complex, David and Sten cautiously explored.

There might not only be treasures here, but also possible dangerous creatures and traps.

In the deepest part of the cave, they discovered a massive stone chamber.

At the center of the chamber, there was a platform made of witchcraft crystals, with an ancient treasure chest placed on it.

David stepped forward and carefully opened the treasure chest.

Inside the chest were some ancient witchcraft scrolls, gems, and other precious items.

But just as they were preparing to leave the cave, they suddenly felt the ground start to shake, as if the entire space was trembling.

With the opening of the treasure chest, the cave’s tranquility was completely shattered.

The ground began to vibrate violently, dust and rubble from the stone walls fell like rain.

David and Sten quickly retreated to a corner of the stone chamber to avoid possibly falling boulders.

The shaking grew increasingly intense, the entire cave seemed to roar, as if some massive force was being unleashed.

David realized this might be some mechanism to protect the treasure, or they might have triggered an ancient spell.

He quickly flipped through the witchcraft scrolls he had just obtained, trying to find a way to quell the chaos.

Sten held tightly to his weapon, vigilantly observing around, ready to deal with any potential threats.

As the shaking reached its peak, suddenly, one wall of the chamber collapsed, revealing a hidden tunnel.

From this tunnel, a powerful energy wave surged forth.

Accompanied by this wave, a group of giant puppets made of rock and earth were awakened.

Their eyes flickered with ominous light, evidently designed to protect this secret treasure.

David could only start casting magic, ice power continuously surged out, causing the entire chamber to gradually become ice-sealed.

Meanwhile.

Outside in the Black Mist Forest, magic power surged continuously.

Similarly, a number of giant puppets made of rock and earth awakened.

Their bulky bodies slowly moving in the forest, each step accompanied by ground tremors, as if the whole forest trembled at their awakening.

The strength and defense of these rock puppets were exceptionally astonishing, their presence undoubtedly a disaster for other wizard organizations exploring the forest.

These wizards initially thought they were only facing ordinary forest creatures and natural traps.

But they quickly discovered that the power of these rock puppets far exceeded their expectations.

These puppets not only possessed great strength, but also seemed to have a certain amount of intelligence, able to cooperate in attacks.

They even employed simple tactics, making the wizards’ situation even more difficult.

Facing these official wizard-level rock puppets, some wizards began to feel despair.

Their magic and spells seemed powerless against the puppets’ hard shells, each attack like striking an indestructible fortress.

The ordinary wizards began to realize they might not leave this forest alive, filled with fear and helplessness.

"Is... Have the relics opened?"

The wizards of Sea Cape Tower brightened their eyes, sensing an opportunity.

"Don’t know where Edmund went," Meisha said.

"Don’t worry about him, let’s quickly find the relic entrance, must seize the resources inside first."

Another wizard Link hummed, leading the wizard apprentices swiftly into exploring the Black Mist Forest.

Though the rock puppets were indeed strong, the Crystalization Peak Mage could still easily handle them.

Link knew every corner of the relic might hide invaluable wizard items or ancient secrets, potentially greatly enhancing their status in the wizarding world.

And those resources possibly allowing him to break through to First-Ring Mage surely lie within this relic.

"Help."

Members of a wizard organization saw the Sea Cape Tower group and quickly called for help.

However, Link and his team ignored them, absorbed by the desire for the relic.

Meisha felt some hesitation but understood Link’s decision was for the entire Sea Cape Tower’s benefit.

She gritted her teeth, ultimately choosing to follow Link further.

In their hearts, the relic’s resources and knowledge were far more important than helping a few strangers.

They believed that only by seizing the opportunity could they ensure Sea Cape Tower’s standing in the wizarding world.

And those wizards trapped by the rock puppets could only watch powerlessly as the Sea Cape Tower wizards disappeared into the depths of the Black Mist Forest.

As time passed, the Sea Cape Tower wizards ventured deeper into the forest, finally discovering the relic’s entrance.

And at this moment, wizards from other wizard organizations also arrived.

Link stood before the relic entrance, in the dim light his figure appeared particularly sinister.

His eyes flashed with cold light, ice power within him surged strongly.

Link’s mouth curled into a cold smile, knowing he must take all necessary measures to protect Sea Cape Tower’s interests.

The wizards from other organizations also realized Link’s intent, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes.

But, to compete for the relic’s resources, they too had to brace themselves to proceed.

They knew retreat meant giving up precious opportunities.
