Diary of a Dead Wizard

Chapter 1028: Original Intention


Saul couldn’t move now and couldn’t help Camus, nor was it possible for him to help Camus.

Without responding to the other’s plea for help, Saul shifted his gaze, wanting to see the red objects he had seen earlier.

In this second field of vision, he finally discovered that those red objects at the edges were the red worms that had returned just in time.

The red worms were fighting the anchor point monsters that kept eroding Iskaper Continent under the direction of half-elves and wizards.

The deactivated red worms naturally had no ability to actively kill enemies, but they could rely on devouring to bind themselves together with the anchor point monsters, thus preventing the anchor point monsters’ movements and perishing together with the devoured anchor point monsters through constant tugging and friction.

Other wizards of third-rank and below also couldn’t get too close to the Abyssal Eye, only able to assist in controlling red worms from a distance or use long-range attack magic to wear down the anchor point monsters’ combat power.

But even so, many wizards still died under the anchor point monsters’ attacks. Some low-rank wizards, merely grazed by anchor point pollution, were transformed into new monsters and even began attacking their nearby allies.

For a time, red, blue, and black magical lights continuously lit up and extinguished, colorful yet ephemeral.

Life was gradually fading away in such brilliance.

Like the future belonging to the wizard world, there was always a bit of hope that quickly returned to despair.

In Saul’s first field of vision taken over by Douglas, the power of wizards below fourth-rank was too weak—he couldn’t see them at all.

Only fourth-rank wizards and red worms could present vague silhouettes in the first field of vision.

At the same time, Saul noticed that fourth-rank wizards had also appeared in the other two directions around the Abyssal Eye.

After discovering the black tide’s retreat, Floco and Maria and several other third-rank wizards who had originally been guarding the Sighing Wall were all rushing this way. They already knew that major changes had occurred on Iskaper’s side that could even affect the future of the entire world.

With the fate of the entire wizard realm at stake, they couldn’t just stand by and watch. Almost all wizards who could move had come.

At the same time, on the other side, the Tribunal people had also arrived almost in full force.

But they hadn’t expected that upon arriving here, they would see the terrifying Abyssal Eye and three figures above the abyss bound by countless thin threads.

Most people didn’t recognize Douglas and Kismet, but almost everyone recognized Saul.

But Saul, who had once made them either admire or fear him, was now clearly in a state of restraint.

Under Kismet’s constant pulling, the dark red hardcover book’s white pages continuously decreased, becoming dense, thin threads like silk.

One end of the threads wrapped around Saul, while the other end disappeared into Kismet’s body.

As the thin threads were continuously extracted, the white pages were exhausted. The only remaining black pages in the diary were “banged” out of the diary.

The black pages flew very far before transforming into Herman’s appearance. Fortunately, he was kicked far away, or he would have been twisted by the dense black tide pollution upon appearing.

Even at such a distance, Herman still felt abnormally painful after appearing.

He clutched his chest, feeling like he was about to explode.

At this moment, Gorsa suddenly appeared beside Herman, pressing one hand on his shoulder and instantly bringing him back to the half-elf’s side.

“You stay here.” Gorsa could tell at a glance that Herman belonged to the low-rank wizards and saved him to the far rear.

“But master he…” Herman struggled, wanting to go forward.

At this moment, the other consciousness bodies were all outside completing Saul’s tasks, and only he, the weakest consciousness body, remained by Saul’s side.

At such a moment, how could he not go save Saul?

Byron raised his hand to press down Herman. “I’ll go save him.”

However, before Byron could take a step forward, he was also pressed down by Gorsa. “You and the half-elf continue controlling the red worms.”

Although the half-elf had temporarily separated from Byron’s body and entered the red worm queen’s body, its origin was still in Byron’s flesh and couldn’t be completely severed.

The half-elf was an important hub for controlling all red worms in battle, so Gorsa naturally couldn’t let Byron leave.

Even if Byron was anxious now, it was useless.

“I must go save Saul!” Byron was very insistent. Even facing Gorsa, who had frightened him long ago, he still refused to back down.

“You go? How will you save him? Die for Saul to see?” Gorsa said bluntly.

“I can use the elf’s power…”

“Then die for Saul to see?” Gorsa chuckled lightly.

Although half his face was still charcoal black, it didn’t diminish Gorsa’s bearing. Byron couldn’t argue with Gorsa and could only stubbornly glare with wide eyes.

“I will go save him. This is what I should do, and you should do what you should do.”

While several people were arguing, Floco and others, along with the Tribunal wizards, finally arrived.

The third-rank wizards immediately joined the battlefield, while the fourth-rank wizards and leaders came to Gorsa’s side.

They also heard Gorsa’s words.

“Your condition isn’t good.” Floco could see Gorsa’s weakness at a glance. He looked worriedly at the distant Saul and Douglas. “Douglas is using Saul as a filter for observing the Abyssal Eye, making Saul bear the pollution of observing high-rank knowledge for him. If we act rashly now, we might harm Saul and get him completely polluted.”

Douglas had one hand inserted into the back of Saul’s head, forcing him to look down and observe the Abyssal Eye. Saul’s current state was clearly wrong. Without understanding the connection between the three distant figures, Floco didn’t approve of rashly rescuing them.

But Gorsa wasn’t someone Floco could persuade. He didn’t even bother explaining to Floco and was about to shake him off directly.

“I’ll go with you.” Frim’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Gorsa and Floco.

Frim, who had just been resurrected, was also in poor condition.

To successfully throw the modified Sky City into the Abyssal Eye, Frim had directly consumed one life. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novèlfire.net

Fourth-rank wizards could indeed resurrect infinitely before their advancement foundation was destroyed, but that didn’t mean they could immediately return to full health.

Especially with Frim’s previous method of death.

If he hadn’t prepared protections in advance, he might have directly damaged his foundation.

Despite this, Frim still insisted on going to save Saul.

Behind him, many Tribunal wizards didn’t understand Frim’s thinking.

In their view, Wizard Saul was clearly being controlled and in a very bad situation. Frim and Saul’s relationship could almost be considered hostile—why would he want to save someone at this time?

Only Elo, who was also fourth-rank, could understand Frim’s thinking.

Frim didn’t hate Saul as much as outsiders thought.

He had once possessed a prophetic golden thread that would show the names of people who might cause world destruction. He had therefore issued many purge orders that outsiders couldn’t understand, getting blood on his hands.

His original intention in doing all this had always been to protect Nephret.

This almost superstitious obsession had supported Frim’s entire fourth-rank wizard career.

But when he discovered that no matter what Saul did or who he helped, Saul’s name never appeared on the prophetic golden thread, he vaguely felt that Saul might be the one to end it all.

So at this moment, even if he might die again, he was willing to go save someone together with Gorsa.

Frim followed Gorsa, flying together toward Saul and Douglas.

Looking at Douglas’s figure, he didn’t have the awe others felt when facing a fifth-rank wizard. Because Frim was very clear that Douglas wouldn’t be the one to save the wizard world.

Anyone who was an enemy of Nephret was his enemy.

Just as Gorsa and Frim flew out not far, Floco, who had been left behind, sighed and followed as well.

“I always know a bit more than you… maybe I can help.”

Gorsa looked back at the two who had caught up, something seeming to flash in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing.
