Chapter 208: Domain

Shadow Shift!

Baden took a step back, his body appearing a dozen meters away before the thunder and water currents could strike him.

In his perception, the chaotic and fluctuating shadows surrounding him were his hiding places.

With a thought,

his body could emerge from any shadow.

Although Karl’s attacks were swift, he couldn’t do anything to him in a short time.

However, as a member of the Green Family and a Second-Circle Wizard, being suppressed by a First-Circle Wizard and forced to constantly dodge was extremely humiliating. The anger in his heart grew more and more.

Until…

“Ah!”

Baden roared towards the sky, a crystal shattering in midair. Wild mental power erupted unrestrained:

“Connie!”

“You should die!”

Dream Market possessed the domain power of the Third Order. People entering it would be suppressed, and even with a Dream Fragment, they couldn’t unleash power exceeding the First Order, or they would be suppressed by the domain’s power.

But,

this was under the condition of no Third-Order power to counter it.

If other domain powers were involved, they would offset Dream Market’s domain power.

At least…

it could break the suppression to some extent.

And the crystal Baden shattered clearly possessed domain power, causing Dream Market to become turbulent.

“Phew…”

Feeling the dissipating pressure, it was like taking off a tight band around his head. His heart suddenly relaxed.

Although the suppression would quickly recover, Baden still calmly adjusted his wizard robe.

Demeanor,

must be elegant!

He spoke slowly:

“To force me to this extent, you’re quite impressive. No wonder Gould died at your hands.”

Karl frowned, slowly taking a step back. His body appeared within the influence range of the wizard tower’s base.

“Stop struggling!”

Seeing his actions, Baden chuckled and shook his head:

“The gap between a First-Circle Wizard and a Second-Circle Wizard is greater than you can imagine, especially for someone like me.”

“Is that so?” Karl said:

“Don’t forget I still have a wizard tower. With the help of the wizard tower, a First-Circle Wizard can also cast Second-Circle Spells.”

“Heh…” Baden shrugged:

“Ignorant!”

“A wizard tower can indeed increase a wizard’s strength, but it’s not that easy to truly surpass one’s level, let alone the fact that the wizard tower behind you isn’t that well built.”

“Tsk tsk…”

“You probably don’t even know what the name ‘Green Family’ truly represents, do you?”

He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers clenching tightly.

“Bang!”

Various elemental particles in the void gathered and combined in a complex way, forming a giant spell circuit.

“This is…” Karl’s eyes flickered:

“A wizard tower?”

“You have some insight.” Baden was slightly surprised and nodded:

“Almost. This spell is called Magic Realm. Within the influence range of Magic Realm, all my abilities will be greatly enhanced. It’s not wrong to say it’s a simplified wizard tower. Forget about seeing it, wizards in the Magic Forest probably haven’t even heard of this spell, right?”

“Alright!”

He looked around, pointing forward with one hand:

“Time’s about up. I didn’t expect to waste a Third-Order Sealing Crystal on you.”

“But now it’s all over!”

“Die!”

Second-Circle Spell ━ Dark Beam!

A pitch-black beam pierced through the void, like a sharp blade, as if to split the entire Dream Market in two.

The onlookers in the distance felt a chill in their hearts and subconsciously wanted to dodge.

Then.

A soft light emerged out of thin air.

A vast, boundless, bright, and unceasing aura echoed in the field, firmly blocking the Dark Beam.

Thousand Buddha Hands ━ Great Light Seal!

The Thousand Buddha Hands at the Hundred Hand Realm could allow Karl to unleash several times his own power.

At the same time.

A giant vertical eye appeared above the wizard tower. The eye blinked, shooting out a beam of light.

Evil God’s Eye!

Third Order!

As the Evil God’s Eye emitted the beam, a soul-shaking pressure quietly emerged.

Pseudo Third Order ━ Aura of Fear!

The restriction wasn’t just lifted for one side. At this moment, Karl could also unleash his full power without restraint.

Second Order?

Sorry!

I am too!

And Baden only had a simplified wizard tower, while Karl had a complete wizard tower, two of them in fact.

One of his own, and one from the Pero Family.

His own had the Evil God’s Eye, and the Pero Family’s could activate two Second-Circle Spells.

One of them was called Water Spirit, which could maximally stimulate the body’s cells and activate vitality.

It could be said to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones!

But used on Karl, it could transform into a continuous stream of Battle Aura, bombarding forward incessantly.

In terms of foundation?

He wasn’t lacking either!

No!

At least here, he was much stronger than the opponent!

“Not good!”

Baden’s face, which had been relaxed in midair, suddenly changed color. Vulcan, who was beside him, had already landed on the ground first.

“Boom!”

Various auras erupted in the field. Baden’s body was directly blasted out of the Magic Realm’s influence range.

Just as Karl was about to press his advantage, the ground suddenly trembled violently, shaking the entire Dream Market.

Baden was enveloped by a rapidly rolling stone sphere, sinking into the ground and disappearing.

Vulcan!

The Earth Master!

Karl’s eyes flickered, and he slowly stopped his movements. He flashed back to the wizard tower and used the Evil God’s Eye to scan his surroundings.

“Swish!”

***

A phantom flashed.

Vulcan appeared in midair, carrying the unconscious Baden. He spoke to the gloomy-faced Barn:

“His body is fine, but his Sea of Consciousness has suffered some trauma and needs time to recover.”

“Hmm.”

Barn’s voice was heavy:

“This guy… is actually a Second-Order Holy Knight?”

“A Holy Knight is nothing.” Vulcan gently shook his head, his gaze falling on the wizard tower below:

“The Eye of Insight on that wizard tower is very strange. It can release Third-Order Judgment Spells.”

Judgment Spells, if they landed on a person, had a chance to kill a Second-Circle Wizard in one hit.

Even the two of them wouldn’t dare to be careless.

“Good!”

Barn snorted:

“So this Connie has so many trump cards. No wonder he doesn’t take our Green Family seriously.”

“Barn.” Vulcan sighed:

“Let’s go back and talk. Baden needs treatment. As for Connie… he doesn’t dare to leave Dream Market.”

“Hmph!”

Barn clenched his fists, flicking his sleeves:

“Let’s go!”

Dream Market had domain power, and they had no good way to deal with it. It was useless to waste time here.

Similarly.

Karl didn’t dare to go out either. Leaving the range of Dream Market and the wizard tower, he was no match for a Second-Circle Wizard.

Especially Barn and Vulcan, both were Late Stage Second Circle Wizards from the Six Rings Tower, far stronger than ordinary Second-Circle Wizards.

“Master!”

Evangeline greeted him with a smile:

“Congratulations on defeating the powerful enemy and achieving a great victory. Your reputation will surely soar because of this. After all, that was a Second-Circle Wizard.”

Defeating a Second-Circle Wizard, even with the help of a wizard tower, was enough to be proud of. At least in Dream Market, no one but Karl could do it.

Thinking about it, acknowledging such a person as her master wasn’t too embarrassing.

If he became a Second-Circle Wizard one day, her status might also rise accordingly.

“Wipe that smile off your face.” Karl glanced at her and walked towards the stone chair.

Most female wizards also cultivated Bloodline Magic, not to enhance their strength, but to improve their appearance and figure.

Evangeline was no exception.

Although her face was undeniably beautiful, whenever she smiled, it always gave people a sleazy feeling.

This was the first time Karl used the word “sleazy” to describe a woman. He sat down on the stone chair and spoke slowly:

“The people who came were Second-Circle Wizards from the Tower, and I only repelled one of them. There are two stronger ones who didn’t make a move.”

Evangeline’s expression froze, and the smile on her face turned bitter.

“Six Rings Tower?”

“Hmm.”

“…How could that be?”

“Otherwise, why do you think I’m hiding in Dream Market?”

Evangeline couldn’t even cry now. After all, even the most powerful forces in the Magic Forest had to behave submissively in front of people from the Six Rings Tower.

This time, they were really doomed!

“Don’t worry.”

Karl was rather optimistic:

“Although the Six Rings Tower is strong, they are far away in the Kalim Continent after all. There are only a few Second-Circle Wizards here, and they wouldn’t possibly dispatch a Third-Circle Wizard for a small fry like me.”

“Dream Market has a Third-Order domain. Second-Circle Wizards will never be able to truly break it. As long as I don’t go out, the people from the Tower won’t be able to do anything to me.”

“Just like today…”

“So what if they’re Second-Circle Wizards? Didn’t they still have to go back in disgrace?”

“That seems to be the case.” Evangeline slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn’t completely let go of her worries. After all, judging from the situation, the Six Rings Tower wouldn’t give up so easily.

The thought of the enemy being the Six Rings Tower brought a heavy pressure to her heart, making her feel suffocated.

The family crisis hadn’t been completely resolved, and now an even bigger problem had arisen.

“As for food, drink, and cultivation resources…”

Karl continued:

“That’s easy too. Although we can’t go out, others in the market can. There’s never a shortage.”

“Here!”

He tossed over a piece of paper filled with text:

“This is a potion formula I asked someone to find. It can be used to refine Spirit Amber Drops that increase mental power.”

“The formula is Second Order. Find out who in the market can refine it and invite them over.”

This potion formula was something he had asked Omar to search through numerous books in the Tower, and he finally found it in an ancient text.

It was a potion formula that used Soul Cores as the main ingredient.

Its effects were astonishing!

With a constant supply of potions, a First-Circle Wizard’s mental power could increase at a tremendous rate.

Of course,

Soul Cores were rare, which was why the formula had been discarded and ignored. It just so happened that Karl could get his hands on them.

It was rightfully his.

“Refine a Second-Order potion?” Evangeline thought for a moment:

“The Allen Family has a very good friend who is a potion master named Bryce. He’s very skilled, but he’s also very mysterious. It’s not easy to ask him for help.”

“Try to contact him first.” Karl closed his eyes:

“We’ll talk after we find him.”

“…” Evangeline looked at him and obediently lowered her head:

“Yes.”

“The Walker Family’s Harvey and Grey will be holding a full moon celebration for their child in a while. Bryce should be back by then.”

“Full moon celebration?” Karl’s eyelids twitched slightly:

“Their child has already been born…”
