Chapter 206: The Arrivals

While the night was still dark, a portion of those stubbornly defending the wizard tower quietly slipped away from the Pero family’s old residence.

At daybreak,

everything was settled.

Even if that group hadn’t left, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand the siege of three Late Stage, First Circle wizards, let alone now?

Karl’s feet left the ground, slowly floating towards the wizard tower.

“Seemingly real, seemingly illusory, this is a wizard tower embedded within Dream Market, no wonder it can be immune to the rules here.”

“The Pero family does have some tricks up their sleeve.”

“What a pity!”

He raised both hands, and behind him, the phantom of Buddha emerged, palm prints condensed from Battle Aura formed one after another.

Immediately after, over a hundred palm prints suddenly solidified.

Thousand Buddha Hands ━ Thunder Seal!

Blinding, thick, winding, and twisting lightning erupted from his hands, blasting towards the wizard tower.

This strike, although utilizing a knight’s method, had the true power of a Late Stage, First Circle wizard.

“So strong!”

Lewis, who had been relaxed, now had a solemn expression:

“A Legendary Knight… can actually reach this level?”

Their family had also trained a few Legendary Knights; after all, not everyone had Wizard Talent.

They had also hired some knights.

But whether it was Grand Knights or Legendary Knights, in the eyes of Formal Wizards, they were just errand boys.

Unless they launched a surprise attack at close range, it was difficult for them to pose a threat to Formal Wizards.

And Karl’s methods…

greatly exceeded his expectations, almost indistinguishable from a Late Stage, First Circle wizard proficient in lightning magic.

“Indeed!”

Nina also had a look of amazement. Although she knew Karl was powerful, she didn’t expect him to be this strong:

“It should be because the Legendary Martial Technique he cultivates is special; after all, the Path of the Knight was once prosperous.”

Lewis shook his head.

The prosperity of the Path of the Knight was countless years ago; nowadays, knights had almost lost their inheritance.

The path of cultivation couldn’t rely on a single person’s exploration; it required countless people to explore one after another to become complete.

Just like wizards!

“Boom!”

The lightning flashed brightly.

A huge vacuum water sphere enveloped the wizard tower, and the lightning dissipated as soon as it landed on it.

The water sphere turned into a lightning sphere.

Karl raised his eyebrows, his hands formed seals, and he struck in the air.

Diamond Seal!

“Bang!”

The water sphere shattered in mid-air.

Just as he was about to continue, a figure flew out from the wizard tower, shouting loudly.

“Stop!”

“We surrender!”

“Surrender?” Nina snorted coldly and dashed out:

“Everyone from the Pero family deserves to die!”

With a stretch of her hand, dozens of magic halos flickered in the air, knocking the figure back.

“Don’t!”

Evangeline spat out blood and shouted:

“I know where the family’s secret magic is, my brother is a master potion maker, I understand how to build wizard towers, this wizard tower was modified by me…”

She screamed desperately, her voice filled with fear and pleading. This was her last struggle for survival.

However, facing the ruthless Nina, it was completely useless.

“Pfft!”

Before she could finish speaking, she failed to dodge in time and her left arm was severed by countless lights, flying away from her body.

If her reaction had been a moment slower, her head would have been gone.

“Wait!”

Karl’s eyes flickered slightly, his hands formed seals, and palm prints instantly knocked away the magic that was splashing in the field.

“Spare her, I have a use for her.”

“You…” Nina’s face was filled with anger, and her grip on the staff tightened.

“Haha…” Lewis approached with a laugh:

“This girl seems to be Evangeline from the Pero family, quite talented in researching miscellaneous techniques.”

“It’s good to keep her.”

He was happy to see Karl and Nina at odds.

After all, if the two joined forces, the power structure of Dream Market would develop in a direction he didn’t want to see.

“…” Nina gritted her teeth, her facial muscles twitching. After a pause, she said in a muffled voice:

“Fine.”

“But everyone else must be killed, and this woman needs to sign a contract, leaving no bloodline.”

“Sigh.” Lewis waved his hand:

“Nina, don’t let hatred cloud your judgment. The remaining dozen people won’t affect anything.”

“And…”

***

“Mr. Connie wants to settle in Dream Market, how can he not have servants? I don’t think these dozen people are enough. Why don’t I pick some juniors from my family to help you manage your life?”

“No need.” Karl waved his hand:

“The wizard tower and the people belong to me, the rest belong to you. Evangeline, is it… tell the rest to come out and sign the contracts.”

“Clatter…”

A dozen contracts lined up in front of them, floating in the air. He naturally wouldn’t be polite to the losers.

…………

After sending away the somewhat disgruntled Nina and the grinning Lewis, Karl stood at the base of the wizard tower.

“Evangeline?”

“Here.”

After signing the contract, Evangeline theoretically belonged to Karl. Hearing his call, she hurriedly took a step forward:

“What are your orders, Master?”

Her voice was strained, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.

As a high and mighty wizard, she had never suffered such humiliation, but it was all for survival.

If she could please him…

Perhaps one day she could regain her freedom.

As for the Pero family’s revenge?

Evangeline wasn’t someone who clung to hatred, and her branch wasn’t valued within the family anyway.

“Bring me the blueprints of the wizard tower. I need to master it as soon as possible. Tomorrow… I should be able to use it.”

Evangeline was stunned and looked up in surprise.

The Tower.

Omar stood within the teleportation circle of the star ring, taking one last look at the crowd, and sighed helplessly.

‘He really didn’t come.’

“Buzz…”

The halo shimmered.

More than ten people disappeared from the Magic Forest, and another dozen figures crossed the vast void, appearing in the field.

“Hmm…”

One person narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath:

“Active elemental particles, this place isn’t as barren as the legends say, is it?”

The speaker was wearing a black wizard robe as smooth as silk, his long white hair echoing it, his unbelievably handsome face had a pair of azure eyes, and his whole body exuded a noble and mysterious aura.

He shouldn’t be very old, his body still had the vigor of youth, but the unrestrained release of his mental power showed his cultivation.

Second Circle!

A Second Circle wizard with a base lifespan of five hundred years!

“Baden.”

One person stepped forward and spoke slowly:

“Don’t forget this is the territory of the Six Rings Tower, naturally they have the ability to increase the elemental concentration.”

“This wizard tower, seems to be Pseudo Third Order?”

A Third Order wizard tower could allow a Third Circle wizard to unleash power comparable to a Fourth Circle wizard. Although a Pseudo Third Order was weaker, it could still allow a Second Circle wizard to have the strength to crush ordinary Third Circle wizards.

“Yes.”

Baden retracted his scrutinizing gaze:

“Whatever Uncle Barn says is right.”

The man named Barn frowned and shook his head helplessly. Then he looked at one of the people in the field.

“Vulcan, my old friend, we meet again!”

“Barn.”

Vulcan looked at him and nodded slightly:

“We haven’t seen each other for seventy years since you went to that secret realm. It seems your cultivation has improved quite a bit.”

“Just barely.” Barn was tall and thin, his light blue wizard robe looked extremely ordinary, but when he spoke, the others subconsciously didn’t dare to make a sound, showing his prestige.

He spoke slowly:

“I thought I could leave you far behind, but now it seems… I was overthinking.”

“Heh…” Vulcan chuckled:

“Everyone has their own opportunities.”

“Alright.” Barn nodded:

“You should know my purpose in coming here. Can we enter that demi-plane related to the Goddess of the Night now?”

“Hmm.” Vulcan’s smile faded:

“The Goddess of the Night is a Middle Deity. Even Her Divine Child has strength comparable to a Third Circle wizard.”

“Are you sure you want to go?”

“Heh…” Barn shook his head gently:

“That Goddess of the Night has long since fallen. Without Her divine power, the Divine Child is just lingering on.”

“Right!”

“Who was the one who killed Gould?”

“A wizard named Connie.” Vulcan said:

“He’s currently at the nearby Dream Market.”

“Very well.” Barn understood and casually said:

“Let’s make a trip and settle this small matter first.”
