Justin, whose arm was grabbed by the girl, subconsciously wanted to throw her away.
However, at the moment of resistance, his body stiffened unexpectedly, a trace of unnaturalness appeared on Justin's face, and he finally kept up with Nina's pace.
"Who am I? Where is this? What am I doing?" Three questions came to Justin's mind.
Before he could think about it urgently, a strange cry suddenly came from the misty forest. On the branches of a thick tree not far away, a red-eyed crow was preening its feathers and made a strange cry from time to time.
"Red-eyed crow, it seems we are really lucky!"
After discovering the mission target, the girl named Nina's eyes lit up. She let go of Justin's hand and said with a somewhat proud expression, ": Let you see my new witchcraft!"
"Arcane Missile!"
Nina chanted a spell softly, and the thin light element particles in the air condensed into a ball of energy, which then turned into arcane missiles and shot towards the red-eyed crow on the branch, knocking it to the ground.
"How's it going? Isn't it awesome?" Nina raised her head with a proud look on her face.
On the same spot, Justin stood there with a blank expression on his face, but the luster in his eyes flickered slightly. He was crazily recalling certain memories in his mind, and finally his expression returned to calm.
"This is the Misty Forest, the domain of Crow Phantom Academy."
"When I was an apprentice, due to my poor talent, my fellow apprentices were unwilling to team up with me to perform tasks. Except for Nina, her existence was also the only light in my life."
"But it's a pity that in order to be promoted to an official wizard, Nina has been killed by me..."
The expression on Justin's face was completely cold. As his thoughts returned to normal, the surrounding foggy forest began to dissolve like an oil painting. Nina, the originally pretty girl, slowly turned around.
"I used to love you so much, but you killed me with your own hands in order to be promoted to a wizard!"
Nina turned around, a hint of gloom appeared on her pretty face, her eyes were shiny and cold, two lines of blood and tears slowly flowed over her, and a black dagger was inserted into her heart from her chest.
Justin's face was calm, but he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain in his heart.
That dagger was a gift from Nina after he was promoted to a third-level apprentice, but Justin used this dagger to pierce his lover's heart and take away all her power, thus being promoted to an official wizard.
"Everything is just an illusion, I will never be affected in any way!"
Justin had a cold expression on his face, forcing himself to calm down, but memories kept reappearing in his mind, and those things that Justin thought he had forgotten turned into steel needles and pierced his heart.
"Why do you want to kill me? Is being promoted to an official wizard really that important to you?"
Nina's eyes were filled with blood and tears, and she was asking stern questions. The surrounding scenes kept changing, and Justin seemed to be in a dream, experiencing everything inevitably.
"Illusion! It's all just an illusion!"
Facing the questioning of the person he once loved deeply, Justin's chest rose and fell, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. As Nina, who had tears in her eyes, slowly walked over, he finally let out a low roar.
"Damn Illusion, get out of here!"
Justin roared, swung the wand in his hand, and a huge dark claw suddenly grabbed Nina, and immediately tore her into pieces.
However, the next moment.
In the melting illusion around them, Nina appeared one after another, with blood and tears flowing from their eyes, and the exact same dagger stuck in their chests. They slowly walked towards Justin and questioned him about his life.
"why why why!"
Under the questioning of Nina in the fantasy world, Justin's expression gradually became ferocious, his broken arm and shoulder trembled slightly, and the blood that had stopped flowing remained again.
"Go away!!"
Under the oppression of the illusion, Justin roared furiously, waving the wand in his hand like a cross sword, and the black magic turned into sharp claws to shred the surrounding Nina phantom.
But all this was of no avail.
The illusion created by the Meditation Method of Phantom Crow and Thousand Spirits unearths the deepest memories in Justin's heart. As long as Justin remembers everything that happened, Nina, who was killed by him, will continue to appear.
"No! This can't go on like this!"
In vain, Justin stopped his movements, his face was covered with cold sweat, but his eyes flashed with calmness, and he muttered to himself, "Nothing that happens in the fantasy represents reality."
"I must find a way to dispel the illusion in order to break the current situation!"
As a second-level wizard, Justin was extremely strong and tenacious in both willpower and spirit. Even the illusion created by Phantom Crow Qianling could not completely succumb to him, so when he calmed down, he quickly thought of a way to break the illusion.
.
"Black-eyed gaze!"
On the same spot, Justin slowly closed his eyes and let Nina around him walk towards him. When he opened his eyes again, black light filled his eyes, like two deep whirlpools.
Second Ring Witchcraft, Black Eye Gaze!
This witchcraft is Justin's strongest trump card. After being promoted to the second-level wizard in the dark night maze, it took him thirty years to fully master this second-ring witchcraft.
After the black-eyed gaze was activated, the surrounding illusion began to fade away.
"It really works!" Justin's eyes flashed. The second-level witchcraft black eye gaze is not a strong attack skill, but it has the properties of breaking illusions and spiritual attacks, and can barely break the illusion created by Enzo.
After escaping from the illusion, Justin's face turned extremely pale.
Although everything that just happened lasted less than ten minutes, for Justin, it was far more tiring than going through a fierce battle. After the deepest secret in his heart was unearthed, he felt like he was naked.
"Fortunately, the illusion has been lifted..."
Justin breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head, but his pupils suddenly shrank. The Cyclops was walking quickly in front of him, but Enzo could not be seen.
"not good!"
Justin secretly said something bad, and a chill shot up from his back to the top of his head. He was about to react, but it was already too late. The moment before the Cyclops approached and waved his palm, he gritted his teeth and jumped back.
Having barely escaped the Cyclops' attack, the throbbing in Justin's heart still did not disappear.
brush!
The long sword with a dark luster slashed sharply in a strange direction. Justin decisively raised his wand to block it, but under the attack of the sharp blade, the top-level magic wand in his hand broke in an instant.
"Well..."
A look of pain appeared on Justin's face, and his arm was scratched with a scar by the Sword of Night. It was not fatal, but a strange force invaded like a maggot attached to the bone.
"How could this happen?" Justin's expression changed.
At the same time, the Cyclops had attacked again, its huge body shrouding the bottom like a shadow, and its four thick palms gathered into fists and smashed down hard.
"Dark Shield!" Justin quickly activated the witchcraft.
The dark elements condensed into a shield, covering Justin's whole body. However, under the full hammer blow of the giant of the Independent Academy, the dark shield suddenly shattered and turned into elemental particles that dissipated in the air.
"cough!!"
Justin vomited blood and fell to the ground. As a second-level wizard, under normal circumstances, Justin was not afraid of the Cyclops at all, but at this moment, he had just experienced a fierce battle and consumed a lot of energy in the illusion, so that
Only then will he break through the Cyclops' attack.
"Goodbye, Sir Justin!"
The sudden sound sounded in vain, and Enzo's figure appeared not far away. Facing the seriously injured Justin, he did not choose to continue attacking, but focused on looking at the sword of night in his hand, resonating with the power of the artifact.
"This breath..."
Justin's expression changed, and a tadpole-like curse crawled out of the wound on his arm caused by the Sword of Night, and then quickly spread all over his body, forming traces like a curse.
"Goddess of the Night!"
"Is that the legendary sword of night that symbolizes the power of the goddess of the night?"
"By the way, that kid has also stepped into the maze of night, and even has an inexplicable relationship with the goddess of night. It's not surprising that the artifact appears in his hands..."
The skin all over his body was covered with spells, and the expression on Justin's face changed.
As a second-level wizard who was promoted in the maze of night, Justin was very familiar with the aura of the goddess of night, so when the power of the Sword of Night spread within his body, he immediately understood something.
"The power of the artifact cannot be resisted by mortals."
"Am I going to die here today? I'm really unwilling to do so! I finally got promoted to the second-level wizard. If it weren't for Freeman's wrong information, I would definitely be able to go further!"
"It's over, everything is over..."
"Ha! A life-long plan ended up like this. Maybe I shouldn't have attacked Nina in the first place. A life spent with the one I love may not be beautiful enough..."
As the power of the Sword of Night completely devoured the body, the luster in Justin's eyes became increasingly dim.
In the end, the second-level wizard lost all vitality characteristics, and the cold corpse was covered with black spells. Enzo stepped forward and gently slapped the soul bone magic sword in his hand.
At the top of the soul bone magic battle, the soul-eating crystal shines!
After devouring the soul of the second-level wizard, the soul-bone magic wand emitted black light from its entire body. The powerful energy even made it somewhat unbearable for the wand, and it took a while before it returned to calm.
"The soul of a second-level wizard is worth countless ordinary souls!"
Enzo looked at the Soul Bone Wand, the light in his eyes flickering slightly. The Soul-Eating Crystal gave the wand the ability to devour souls, and at the same time gave it the opportunity to evolve to a higher level.
During his forty years of fighting in the forest world, Enzo killed more than 100,000 lives.
However, the quality of alien souls is extremely flawed. Even if there are more of them, it is difficult to transform the wand. Therefore, even after forty years of fighting in the forest world, the Soul Bone Magic Wand is still at the level of a high-level demonized item.
However, now that it has swallowed Justin's soul, it finally has the opportunity to transform!
Enzo put away the Soul Bone Demonic Warfare. After he was promoted to the second level wizard, high-level demonized items could no longer withstand the magic power. However, this problem would be solved once the Soulbone Demonic Warfare completed its transformation.
Immediately afterwards, Enzo looked to the ground.
Justin's body lay quietly on the ground, his skin covered with spells. Enzo raised the Sword of Night in his hand. After communicating with the artifact in resonance, Justin's body slowly stood up.
"Justin, who is enslaved by the artifact, will become another trump card of mine!"
The corners of Enzo's lips raised slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. After being promoted to a second-level wizard, Enzo used the power of the Sword of Night to transform enemies into his own puppets without many restrictions.
"Chip, scan!" Enzo ordered in his mind.
"Target: Justin (puppet) Level: Second level wizard skills: Black Eye Gaze, Twisted Barrier, Dark Claws."
As the chip turned on the scanning function, a familiar data panel appeared in front of Enzo. After becoming the puppet of the Sword of Night, Justin still retained the level of a second-level wizard, but only had three spell abilities left.
The most important one is the Black Eye Gaze, followed by the Twisting Barrier and the Dark Claw!
Enzo nodded with satisfaction. As a second-level puppet, Justin would become another trump card for him. Summoning him at the critical moment would be equivalent to two second-level wizards fighting together.
Everything is finally over, Enzo is ready to leave the forest and round with Fianna and others.
However, at this moment.
A chip alarm suddenly came in his mind, making Enzo immediately alert. As the forest next to him shook, a huge black python came out in vain, and bit it down at a very fast speed.
In an instant, Enzo seemed to be shrouded in shadow, and a strong sense of crisis surged from the bottom of his heart.
He wanted to use the shadow stealth technique, but his body seemed to be locked and he couldn't move. He saw a bloody mouth bite down hard, and the Cyclops slammed into him not far away.
boom!
Even with a five-meter-tall body, the Cyclops looked a bit small compared to the black python. The violent impact only caused the black python to pause slightly, but this was enough time for Enzo to get out of the way.
"Third-level life form! Definitely a third-level life form!"
Enzo quickly dodged aside, with a solemn expression on his face, looking at the black python that appeared in the forest. Even without using the chip's scanning function, he could feel the breath of the third-order life form on the python.
Ouch!
The black python's target was interrupted, and it roared immediately, then swung its body violently, entangled the Cyclops, and then suddenly exerted force, crushing all the bones of the Cyclops.
boom!
The Cyclops, whose bones were shattered, fell limply to the ground. The body that was originally enslaved by the power of the Sword of Night now completely lost its ability to move.
Enzo took a deep breath, his eyes extremely solemn.
The black giant python that suddenly appeared has a level of third-order life form. This kind of creature must have intelligence, so it will never attack without reason. It obviously has a certain purpose.
The next moment, the black giant python began to change.
The huge figure entrenched on the ground slowly transformed into the form of an old man in black robes. His unique pair of vertical pupils gave people a chilling feeling, but Enzo recognized him in an instant.
