Chapter 207: Baden

A flock of black ravens flapped their wings, resembling a thick cloud of smoke, carrying the three of them towards the distance.

The black mist plunged into the clouds, and when it reappeared, it had completely merged with the void.

Even a full-fledged wizard would find it difficult to detect.

Baden held the information investigated by the tower in his hand, flipped through it, and couldn’t help but reveal a disdainful sneer on his face.

“The murderer’s cultivation is only at the intermediate stage of the first circle?”

“How did Gould survive for so many years? A member of the Green Family actually died at the hands of such a person?”

Even among full-fledged wizards, there are differences in strength.

As a member of the Green Family, with top-notch inheritance and high-level rune magic items, it’s normal to fight beyond one’s level.

To die at the hands of someone of the same rank…

It’s a disgrace!

“Don’t underestimate this person.” Vulcan gently shook his head:

“This cultivator named Connie is not only an intermediate first-circle wizard, but also a peak legendary knight. A late stage first-circle wizard died at his hands.”

“Gould…”

“He must have been careless to be killed by him.”

“Whatever.” Baden said casually:

“He’s just a first-circle wizard after all. I can kill him easily when I meet him. But this Dream Market is quite interesting.”

“No fighting allowed, and second-order power is isolated?”

“Interesting!”

Touching his chin, Baden smiled strangely:

“It seems this person also knows the consequences of offending the Green Family and has found a hiding place early on.”

“Caw!”

“Caw Caw!”

The black ravens cawed repeatedly. After approaching their destination, they swooped down from the sky towards a high slope below.

As they landed on the slope, the black ravens suddenly dispersed into a puff of black smoke, transforming into a piece of cloth that fell into Barn’s hand.

Second-order inherited magic item ━ Raven Flock!

Each black raven on the cloth is a first-order creature.

Refined through a secret method, the black ravens have no physical body. Unless there is a countermeasure, they are immortal and indestructible.

Even second-circle wizards have died under the siege of the Raven Flock.

Putting away the cloth, Barn looked down at the market below, his eyes becoming dark and deep, as if the entire world was reflected in them. He was obviously using some kind of special magic.

“Hmm…”

“A third-order domain force field?”

When cultivation reaches the third-order, whether it’s humans or other creatures, most will possess a domain force field.

Within the domain, other forces are isolated.

Without reaching the third-order, it’s impossible to contend against it.

Knowing that the Dream Market had special rules, the three of them had guessed that there might be a domain force field here, so they weren’t surprised.

“Uncle.”

Baden stretched his limbs:

“Let me handle this!”

“Hmm.” Barn slowly nodded:

“Be careful.”

“I know. It’s just a domain similar to Dream Moth’s. There’s a way to weaken its influence on me.”

Baden waved his hand casually, then transformed into a stream of light and rushed towards the market below.

“Whoosh!”

He revealed himself in mid-air, allowing his body to fall rapidly towards the ground under the influence of gravity.

The body of a second-circle wizard has been tempered by magic and is no longer a flesh and blood body. Its weight is comparable to a meteorite.

“Boom!”

Baden landed heavily.

The hard rock ground was smashed into a shallow pit, and countless cracks extended from his feet in all directions.

Even the entire Dream Market trembled.

“Connie!”

He twisted his neck and roared loudly:

“Come out and die!”

The violent sound wave, at the limit of the first-order, raged through the Dream Market, directly lifting several nearby houses into the air.

The sound waves echoed endlessly.

“Die!”

“Die!”

“…”

Figures flickered in the residences of the three great families. Nina and the others flew up into the sky, looking towards the direction of the sound, their faces filled with uncertainty.

“Who is it?”

“Looking for Connie?”

“Why can he fight in the Dream Market?”

…………

The old residence of the Pero Family.

Carl, who was meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then he slowly stood up.

“He’s here so soon?”

Calculating the time, the people from the Kalim Continent should have just arrived in the Magic Forest.

In other words, the other party came here directly to seek revenge after arriving in the Magic Forest without any delay.

“Heh…”

“Of course!”

“To the Green Family, I’m probably just a small character who can be easily dealt with, not worth wasting time on.”

“Master.” Evangeline, the slave he had just acquired yesterday, rushed in from outside, her face filled with terror:

“Second circle!”

“That person is a second-circle wizard!”

She finally understood why Carl was so anxious to take control of the wizard tower, even working tirelessly through the night.

He had provoked a second-circle wizard!

Thinking of this, Evangeline couldn’t help but feel bitter.

Unlike others, although she was intelligent, she didn’t have any grand ambitions or goals. She just wanted to live a good life.

In order to survive, she, a full-fledged wizard, didn’t hesitate to sign a contract to become another wizard’s slave.

Now,

she realized that the wizard she had signed a contract with was a bottomless pit, so of course she felt distressed.

“I know.”

Carl strode outside:

“So what if he’s a second-circle wizard? This is the Dream Market. It can’t accommodate power beyond the first-order.”

“That…” Evangeline hesitated:

“That’s true.”

“But Master still needs to be careful. A second-circle wizard can exert the power of the first-order to its limit, which is something we can’t compare to.”

Her life and death were now bound to Carl’s. Even if she was unwilling, they were now on the same side.

“Hmm.”

Carl nodded:

***

“Watch over the wizard tower. You should know very well that if I die, you won’t survive either.”

“…” Evangeline forced a smile:

“Master will be fine.”

“Heh…” Carl chuckled:

“Of course I’ll be fine.”

At worst, he could hide in the other world and come back after a few decades or even centuries. The Green Family wouldn’t be able to chase him there, would they?

Of course,

it would be best if it didn’t come to that.

“Whoosh…”

The wind raged.

Carl waved his hand to part the wind and sand, looking at the young man opposite him. His cheeks couldn’t help but twitch slightly.

So young?

He’s already a second-circle wizard!

Compared to the Green Family, the wizards in the Magic Forest seem to have lived their lives like pigs.

“Baden?”

“You know me?”

Baden raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had never been to the Magic Forest and had no acquaintances here.

“Gould’s memories have you.” Carl shrugged:

“But in his memories, you were still a first-circle wizard. I didn’t expect… you’ve already advanced to the second circle.”

“You actually searched Gould’s memories?” Baden shook his head:

“It seems I have to kill you!”

“Gould tried to kill me first. I had no choice but to kill him.” Carl explained:

“Look, how about this? I’ll return his belongings to you, and we’ll consider this matter settled?”

“…” Baden looked at him with a strange expression:

“Do you think that’s possible?”

“Let’s not talk about the sincerity of your apology. Even if Gould attacked you first, can you just kill a member of the Green Family?”

“So there’s no room for negotiation?” Carl sighed.

“What do you think?” Baden shook his head speechlessly. Just as he was about to step forward, his body suddenly froze:

“Magic trap!”

The hard ground beneath his feet had somehow turned into a vortex with terrifying suction, and thorny vines shot out from it, dragging him down.

‘This is the old residence of the Pero Family, right next to the wizard tower. How could there not be some arrangements?’

Carl shook his head slightly. Just as he was about to make a move, his expression suddenly changed, and his hands quickly formed seals.

Thousand Buddha Hands ━ Diamond Seal!

A giant phantom of Buddha emerged from behind him, forming hand seals and enveloping Carl within.

“Bang!”

“Bang Bang!”

Just as the hand seals were formed, several streaks of ghostly light exploded in front of him, directly blasting several holes in the Buddha phantom.

Magic ━ Night Comet!

Dragging comet tails, the magic spells arced through the void, bombarding Carl’s location.

“Ugh!”

Carl groaned and retreated repeatedly.

Night Comet is a super magic spell inherited by the Green Family. Its power increases with the wizard’s cultivation level.

Even,

it can still be used at the fourth circle.

Although it’s a magic spell similar to Rapid Arrow, it has powerful impact, destructive power, and explosive force.

“Crackle!”

Carl’s figure flashed, appearing more than ten meters away.

Thunder Wings!

After comprehending the God-Given Object of the Collapsed Divine Domain, this special magic spell became even more refined in his hands.

With a flash of lightning, his figure disappeared, as if teleporting.

“Hmm?”

Baden’s eyes flickered slightly. His body flew out of the magic trap like a phantom, and he said in surprise:

“Thunder Wings?”

“No!”

Thunder Wings is the flying technique of the Six Rings Tower. Of course he knew it, but the technique Carl was using now had fundamental changes compared to Thunder Wings.

Faster!

More agile!

And there’s no need to worry about exposing his identity.

“Crackle!”

With a flash of lightning, Carl appeared behind Baden, his fists clenched, and countless fist shadows filled the air.

Heavenly Wolf Phantom Demon Fist!

Here, this fist technique is even more powerful.

“Bang!”

The fist force struck the void, creating ripples, but Baden was unharmed, waving his staff.

Black curtains quietly emerged and descended.

Wherever the black curtains covered, all life withered.

Night Void Form!

Death Curtain!

Both are top-notch magic spells. One can transform oneself into nothingness, and the other possesses the ability to plunder life force.

“Heh…”

Carl chuckled softly, his hands quickly forming seals.

Thousand Buddha Hands ━ Thunder Seal!

Summon Thunder!

The Holy Technique Thousand Buddha Hands, which points directly to the fourth circle, combined with the technique comprehended from the God-Given Object of the Unreal City in the Collapsed Divine Domain.

The two superimposed, but the power did not double.

“Boom!”

Dark clouds instantly gathered in the sky, lightning flashed, and bolts of thunder struck down one after another.

Bathed in the lightning, Carl’s entire body was covered in golden armor. He hardly needed to defend against Baden’s magic.

He could withstand it with just his physical body and lightning magic.

And he could freely use his own techniques. Behind him, Evangeline was even controlling the wizard tower to help him.

“Boom!”

Bolts of lightning struck down, forcibly blasting Baden out of nothingness and smashing him to the ground, where he was dragged along the surface.

If his physical body wasn’t so resistant, he would probably be covered in injuries.

“Barn.”

Vulcan’s expression changed slightly:

“Should we call the others?”

“No need!” Barn waved his hand:

“I underestimated this wizard named ‘Connie’. No wonder Gould died at his hands.”

“But Baden won’t give up so easily. Besides… a first-order is still just a first-order. We just need to briefly break through the domain force field, and we can easily deal with him.”

“He’s making his move!”
