You know, in the past, the lord of Jiye City did not care about the life and death of mortals.
No matter how many mortals were eaten by the monsters outside the city, there would not be much loss for the lord of Jiye City. After all, it would not affect his status.
But now, the Lord of Jiye City is acting uncharacteristically.
Not only did they conduct a large-scale sweep of the surrounding monsters, but they also continuously sent people to search for traces of mutated creatures to hunt and kill them.
"Is it to collect abyss energy?"
A trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face, and the luster in his eyes flickered slightly. He speculated in his heart that maybe this so-called lord of Jiye City was dealing with the mutated monsters around him to collect the aura of the abyss.
After all, the monsters near Jiye City are all caused by the pollution of the abyss.
Those abyssal auras are a substance that is close to disaster for ordinary people, but for wizards, it is a resource that can be utilized.
Some wizards are even the best at using the breath of the abyss to refine magical items.
In place, Enzo's eyes flickered slightly.
Now he is almost certain that the lord of Jiye City has been controlled by the fallen wizard and is collecting abyssal breath under the other party's order.
However, Enzo doesn't quite understand what those fallen wizards plan to do by collecting the breath of the abyss.
While he was thinking about it, a chaotic sound suddenly came from around him.
Enzo's heart moved.
Hearing the whispers of the surrounding civilians, he learned that Jiye City was holding a celebration today and there would also be a gladiator performance.
Originally, normally speaking, gladiator performances in the northern continent were illegal. However, due to the previous invasion of the abyss, which caused the continent to experience a disaster, the policy was relaxed on many things.
For example, gladiator performances, although cruel and bloody, can also relax the residents of the city and relieve their tension.
Thinking of this, Enzo followed the crowd.
In a moment, he followed everyone to the Colosseum in Jiye City. Tens of thousands of civilians were sitting around, cheering from time to time.
Obviously, everyone has been looking forward to this gladiator match for a long time.
Enzo was sitting in the corner, as low-key as a transparent person.
Not long after, the gladiators came on stage one after another.
Some of the gladiators participating in the competition were slaves who had lost their freedom, while some came for the high prize money.
"Let us use our warmest applause to invite the winner of the previous competition to appear!"
As the host shouted, a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami came from the surrounding area.
Immediately afterwards, a burly figure over five meters tall slowly appeared.
"Skull Crusher, Gauss!"
"Come on!"
"Smash their heads in, Gauss!"
From the surrounding auditorium, there were waves of cheers from the people, but Enzo looked calm and looked at the so-called Skull Crusher Gauss.
The opponent is not a pure human being, but a hybrid creature of human and giant species. It is over five meters in size and looks very burly.
But these are not the point.
What really caught Enzo's attention was the abyssal aura exuding from Skullcrusher Gauss, which was so strong and rich.
Yes, the reason why Skullcrusher Gauss is very powerful now is mainly because the abyss breath in his body gives him extraordinary strength.
Moreover, this breath of the abyss is very magical.
It was clearly already in Skullcrusher Gauss's body, but it did not affect the opponent's will, as if it had become a part of Skullcrusher Gauss.
"It's interesting!"
The corners of Enzo's lips raised, and a smile appeared on his face.
There is no doubt that Gauss, the skull-crusher, has been transformed by a wizard, so he can control the abyss in his body.
The initiator of this incident is most likely the fallen wizard hiding in Jiye City.
In the wizarding world, only those fallen wizards are best at using the power of the abyss, but for the orthodox council wizards, this is something similar to the forbidden power.
Thinking of this, Enzo's eyes flickered slightly.
He was very curious as to why the fallen wizard hiding in the Night City transformed Skullcrusher Gauss and allowed him to appear in the duel.
"Roar!"
In the arena, Skullcrusher Gauss let out a roar, roaring like a wild beast, as if he couldn't wait to fight.
Soon, other gladiators appeared one after another.
However, compared to Gauss the Skull Crusher, these gladiators appear to be much more ordinary, just a group of characters used as foils.
"Now, I announce!"
The host spoke again, shouting at the top of his lungs: "The gladiatorial competition has officially begun, let us shout and cheer!"
After that, the host turned and left.
But around the arena, a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami came again, and then the gladiators began to fight fiercely.
However, the gladiators who were sent on the field seemed to be very smart. They knew how terrifying Skullcrusher Gauss was, so they launched a siege against him one after another.
"bring it on!"
On the spot, Skullcrusher Gauss laughed ferociously. To him, these enemies were like trash, no matter how many they were, they were of no use.
Recalling the mission assigned to him by his master, Skullcrusher Gauss showed a trace of ferocity on his face, and immediately, without any hesitation, he roared.
In an instant, the terrifying sound waves spread like ocean waves.
Suddenly, the gladiators approaching around them fell to the ground one after another, and the weaker ones among them were bleeding from all their orifices and fell into a coma on the spot.
Click!
Gauss the Skull Crusher was not polite, he raised his foot and crushed the enemy's head on the ground. Such a bloody scene stimulated the nerves of the surrounding audience.
Even children in their teens were shouting at Gauss the Skullbreaker, as if they were cheering for his strength.
In a moment, all the gladiators around him had been killed by Gauss the Skullbreaker.
However, the audience is still not satisfied.
The host smiled slightly, opened the cage again, released more gladiators, and rushed towards Gauss the Skullbreaker like wild beasts.
On the same spot, Skullcrusher Gauss laughed ferociously again.
He stretched out his hand fiercely, and grabbed a gladiator with his huge palm, crushing his head to pieces, and blood and red and white things sputtered around.
In the audience, a trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face.
"I see!"
Enzo's eyes flickered slightly, and it was only at this moment that he finally seemed to understand why Skullcrusher Gauss appeared here.
There is no doubt that it is the order of the fallen wizard hidden in Jiye City.
Skullcrusher Gauss, who has been transformed by the energy of the abyss, has a special body. Through killing, he can absorb the energy of the dead.
This is used to feed the abyss energy in the body to achieve a stable level.
However, Enzo was a little confused about why the wizard hiding in Jiye City did this. Such a low-level trick was really not what an immortal wizard would do.
I don’t know how long it took, but the gladiatorial match finally ended.
Hundreds of people died at the hands of Skullcrusher Gauss, who let out a violent cry, like a wild beast in a carnival.
As the gladiatorial match ended, the surrounding spectators began to leave one after another. Enzo locked his magic power on Gauss the Skullbreaker, and then followed him like a shadow.
Skullcrusher Gauss knew nothing about this.
Following the other party's footsteps, Enzo came to the slums. Skullcrusher Gauss walked into a house and pressed the mechanism above.
Suddenly, stairs extending downward appeared.
Gauss the Skullbreaker walked in, and after passing through a long passage, the scene in front seemed to suddenly become clearer.
A huge underground palace appeared in front of us.
Gauss the Skullbreaker seemed to be very familiar with this place, and soon walked into it, and many people like Gauss the Skullbreaker appeared.
These people all have a common characteristic, which is that they have been transformed by the breath of the abyss, but they have not distorted their will and still maintain their own sanity.
"How was it? How many people were killed today?"
"Not many, just two hundred!"
"Ha! Then I am much stronger than you. Today I found a gang in the wilderness, and I killed more than three hundred gangsters!"
The man who spoke looked proud.
The people around them nodded. For them, killing seemed to be an honor and it could also satisfy their inner desires.
Jingle Bell!
Suddenly, there was a sound around, and people who had been transformed by the energy of the abyss turned around one after another, and then many enchanting-looking women appeared around them.
In the shadows, a strange look appeared on Enzo's face.
These men, transformed by the power of the abyss, stimulate the energy in their bodies through killing, but their violent emotions need to be vented to relieve them.
And these women are obviously their way of relief.
"Chip, scan!"
Enzo shook his head, not wanting to waste any more time. As the thought came to his mind, the chip scanned the surrounding area, and his mental power spread like a tide.
Soon, Enzo discovered something unusual.
In the deepest part of this underground palace, several immortal life forms are gathering together, and one of them is the fallen endless wizard.
However, the other party's condition seems to be extremely weak at this moment.
"I see!"
Enzo raised his eyebrows and immediately understood that the actions of Skullcrusher Gauss and these people were probably to help the Endless Wizard recover from his injuries.
Through killing, they take away the breath of the dead.
Then, through some means, it was passed to the weak endless wizard.
Soon, a multi-person fight ended.
After being released, Gauss and others took out daggers and cut their palms, letting the blood flow on the ground as if it had gathered into a river.
Suddenly, the faces of Gauss and others turned pale.
In the shadows, Enzo shook his head. Sacrificing his own strength in this way would undoubtedly have great side effects on Gauss and others.
It can even be said that every sacrifice consumes the lifespan of Gauss and others, leading them to death.
With a thought in his mind, Enzo appeared in front of everyone.
The faces of Gauss and others around him changed. They were obviously surprised by Enzo's sudden appearance, but they did not dare to act rashly.
"who?"
At this time, a flame burned not far away, and a woman in red robe appeared. The opponent was a fallen wizard, but his strength was only level four.
"Can't you see?"
Enzo raised his eyebrows and took out the badge of the Northern Council.
Opposite me, the woman in red robe suddenly changed her expression.
"kill him!"
With almost no hesitation, the woman in red robe pointed forward, and the surrounding warriors who had been transformed by the abyss rushed towards Enzo.
Enzo looked calm, and as soon as he thought, the shadows under his feet spread like a tide.
Suddenly, the face of the woman in red robe not far away changed.
But at this time, Enzo sneered and appeared directly in front of the opponent. The woman in red robe knew that she was outmatched and quickly used magic to disappear.
"Want to escape?"
Enzo shook his head and said quietly: "Do you think this has any meaning?"
As he spoke, Enzo also disappeared.
He followed the traces of the red-robed woman and soon came to the deepest part of the underground palace, where a man lay in a huge pool of blood.
"Lord Flammy, save me!"
The woman in red robe cried out for help to the blood pool, and three wizards of all spirits appeared around her, casting spells to form energy protection.
Enzo stopped.
For him, the energy shields created by these all-spiritual wizards were simply more fragile than glass, and it was impossible to stop him.
In fact, Enzo was not interested in these wizards. If he just wanted to kill them, there would be no need to go to such trouble.
His real target is only the endless wizard trained in the blood pool.
"Flamy!"
Enzo's eyes flickered slightly as he searched for information about this endless wizard in his mind.
In a moment, a lot of information came to mind.
The endless wizard Flammy, a wizard who rose up in the Second Age, was born in the Stigma Continent in the Middle Territory and is good at using blood magic.
Flami used to have a very high status in the St. Mark Continent, and even the Supreme Lord of the Night, Chilan Losla, spoke highly of him.
However, during a war against the abyss, Flammy and his companions were in a desperate situation, almost certain to die.
Therefore, in order to gain a chance of survival, Flammy made a choice, which was to take the lives of other companions to gain greater power.
After this, Flammy successfully broke out of the predicament, but at the same time, his behavior was unacceptable to the Supreme Council, and he became a fallen wizard.
Flammy, who became a fallen person, was still hesitant at first, but as the Supreme Council came to pursue him, Flammy completely fell.
He will destroy all the enemies who are chasing him, go further and further on the path of a fallen wizard, and become more and more greedy for this feeling.
Moreover, as he continued to devour the power of other wizards, Flammy became more and more powerful, and even occupied a continent and became its controller.
But this kind of glory only lasted for a few hundred years. As Flami continued to grow, he was eventually attacked by the Supreme Council. After a fierce battle, he was imprisoned in the ancient prison.
Until recently, Flammy finally got out of trouble.
After experiencing endless years of imprisonment, Flami seemed to be much calmer. After being released from the trap, he did not act recklessly. Instead, he lay dormant in a low-key manner, but he was still discovered by Enzo.
On the spot, Enzo looked calm and stared at Flami.
