Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 738 - 676: Yuexi and the Mutation_2
Chapter 738 -676: Yuexi and the Mutation_2
The beast faction dares to invade, and the sorcerers don’t mind raising their scythes again to reap some benefits.
…
In the sorcerer world, after washing away deep past grudges, order here has returned to its previous state.
With the establishment of cities and teleportation arrays, the sorcerers’ footprints have spread across the Mondola Continent and Longluo Thousand Islands, and beings from all over the surface are coming to the sorcerer domain.
Compared to the past, the entire sorcerer world has become much livelier and more prosperous.
Similarly, the sorcerers’ methods of cultivation have attracted more attention, and over time, secretly, more and more beings began to study them, including top-tier races.
The sorcerer faction did not hinder such behavior at all.
In Betta Calendar 3297, as the true sorcerer king, Ivan, through meticulous selection, chose 10 sorcerers to join the Black Star Legion, including 3 Arcane Wizards and 7 Level 3 Sorcerers.
In Betta Calendar 3299, Ivan laboriously captured a Blue Demon, attempting to recruit it into the Black Star Legion through Three Create All Things, but ended in failure.
He unexpectedly discovered that the demon race was extremely special to him and couldn’t be subdued by Three Create All Things, possibly due to being ‘destined enemies’.
…
Betta Calendar 3300.
Moon Stream Plane.
The sky here is permanently adorned with a bright moon, surrounded by a dazzling stream of light, resembling a winding creek, hence the plane is named ‘Moon Stream’.
In this remote area of the plane, a group of unwelcome visitors arrived on this day, ten in total.
“Did you sense it?”
“What?”
“The abyssal aura? Never mind, your powers may not be high enough; I’ve already sensed it, seems we came to the right place. Look, there’s a red moon in the sky, just the same as the intel we received.”
“Workshop Director, you’re absolutely right.”
Locke, leading his capable subordinates, did not act rashly upon arrival but instead looked up at the bright moon in the sky — a blood-red full moon.
The moonlight bathed the earth, and apart from it, no other light fell from the sky, enveloping the surroundings in an ethereal ambiance shaped by the moonlight.
To his knowledge, the Moon Stream Plane’s moon is quite interesting, divided into four cycles: Red Moon, Purple Moon, Gray Moon, and Pink Moon, corresponding to the seasons.
“This is your last mission with me; you two better be sharp, understand?” Locke continued.
“How could it be otherwise, regardless of how our status changes, you’re always our boss; no one can change that. At your command, we’ll surely respond immediately with no room for doubt, and you will also become the Master of Workshop Realm…”
Upon hearing this, Martin Kaspa, standing on the left, promptly responded.
“Alright, alright, I don’t want to hear flattery.” Locke waved his hand, and then emphasized, “And you, did you understand?”
“Dante understands.” Dante Kaspa, standing on his right, said.
Martin and Dante, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin, had completely different personalities, one being smooth and the other sullen, yet they were Locke’s right- and left-hand guardians.
With Locke’s generous support in recent years, both of their abilities had advanced rapidly, and the next step was preparing for the Level 5 advancement.
“Let’s go, take care of business, and head back after we’re done.”
With a wave of Locke’s hand, the group, bathed in moonlight, flew towards the other side.
He had information indicating that this Moon Stream Plane is a cradle for nurturing young Moon Demons, and the Moon Demon race is a prominent one in the Abyss Plane, possessing a very unique mixed bloodline with both demon and devil ancestry, truly one of a kind.
After receiving the news, they had gone through a lot to reach here.
“What a grand sight.”
After a short while, Locke led his subordinates to the front of a ‘moon crater’.
The so-called ‘moon crater’ is a long, narrow ravine in the ground, whose entire shape resembles a crescent moon. Such a wondrous land massively absorbs moon energy from high above to nurture resources for younglings.
It could be seen in the depths of the ravine, thick moon liquid with floating demon eggs of various sizes, creating a spectacular sight.
Ugh?
Just as the group carefully evaluated below, Locke suddenly sensed unusual activity, and decisively led his guardians to dodge to the side.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.”
Sure enough, shortly after he hastily departed from the original location, attacks landed there, not just one but three, from multiple directions, seemingly intending to eliminate them.
Locke and his guardians managed to dodge in time, but his other subordinates weren’t so lucky. Apart from those sent elsewhere to reconnoiter earlier, the rest all perished in this ambush.
“Tosh! Aiden! Sifuni! Good, good, good, you three are really something.”
“So you joined forces; was the intel I received deliberately leaked by you? Quite a devious plan.”
After regaining his stand, Locke keenly discovered familiar faces in the act, his face turning suddenly dark.
These three were none other than his colleagues, hailing from the Endless Spirit Workshop, all Great Workshop Masters.
He never expected anyone would go to great lengths to deal with him; supposedly, he had no advantage in the struggle for the Master of Workshop Realm.
On the surface, he still supported Wu Lei, the Workshop Director, never revealing his own ambitions.
“Not bad, you guessed right, it’s us indeed.”
“Director Locke, upon our investigation, you frequently collude with people from your home plane, using official duties for personal affairs time and again.”
“We have solid evidence against you, so don’t even bother denying it. If you know what’s good for you, surrender quietly, and we’ll take you back to the Endless Spirit Workshop to await trial.”
Having their true identity exposed, Tosh, Aiden, and Sifuni, presenting themselves as righteous, weren’t the least bit flustered but instead rebuked him.
“Ha! Do you listen to yourselves? Who do you think you are? Tosh, when did you become the Master of Workshop Realm? Aiden, Sifuni, you too, are you all Masters of Workshop Realm? Are you qualified to judge me as Workshop Director?”
Watching these boastful people, Locke couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
They’re all Great Workshop Masters, none nobler than the other; how could it be these three’s turn to judge him? It’s truly a colossal joke.
“You’re continuously violating rules; anyone has the right to correct the wrongs.”
“Meeting death and still trying to sow discord.”
“Don’t waste words with him, just take him down.”
Tosh, Aiden, and Sifuni couldn’t discern who took the lead, but in dealing with Locke, their stance was unanimous and resolute.
In fact, the Endless Spirit Workshop had developed more rapidly in recent years than most predicted, and as of now, there were eight Great Workshop Masters. Adding just one more would ignite the eagerly anticipated battle for the Master of Workshop Realm.
Given the current situation, undoubtedly, someone was eagerly moving to eliminate rivals.
Locke reproached himself inwardly, believing that by not overly involving himself, he’d be unnoticed. Now he was slapped hard by reality, and further angered as he was perceived as an easy target.
“Director Locke, you should go first, we’ll cover your retreat!”
Martin brandished his weapon indicating readiness, and Dante nodded repeatedly, both prepared to fight desperately.
“Get lost, I’m not made of clay.”
Locke berated them and secretly instructed, “Find an opportunity to leave later, I have my ways to handle it; it’s an order, just execute it.”
His plan still needed Martin and Dante; it was a critical moment, and he couldn’t lose either of them, or else his efforts through Three Create All Things to appoint them would be in vain.
“None of you are leaving.”
Tosh sneered, his face menacing.
As he spoke, the three launched the assault.
Three Sin Extinguishing Earth Mills grew against the wind, pressing down like mountains. Since their identities had been unveiled, they no longer concealed and began employing the emblematic object of Great Workshop Masters — the Sin Extinguishing Mill.
The Sin Extinguishing Mill held terrifying suppressive power. Though Locke, as a Great Workshop Master, could bear it, Martin and Dante were severely overwhelmed.
