Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 222: Chapter 150: Inheritance Program, Who Is the Prey? (Part 2)

Moreover, as he flew forward, the light of the key fragment gradually brightened.

Sunan felt a moment of realization and quickly understood.

“This key fragment also has the ability to sense each other!”

With this function, finding other key fragment holders becomes much easier.

Obviously, the builders went to great lengths to ensure the smooth progress of the inheritance procedure.

Soon, when the light emitted by the key fragment became extremely dazzling, the figure of the target also appeared in Sunan’s vision.

Unexpectedly, the Dark Tentacles were also present.

They were controlling a swarm of pitch-black tentacles, frantically attacking the fifth Wizard Apprentice.

Sunan recalled the directions everyone had pursued the silver glow before, and combined it with the current location, quickly deduced that the fifth person and the Dark Tentacles were heading towards each other and accidentally collided.

However, the strength of that Wizard Apprentice was clearly quite average, facing mortal danger under the attack of the Dark Tentacles.

In the brief moment when Sunan was pondering the situation, the Dark Tentacles seized the opportunity, using pitch-black tentacles to grab the apprentice’s limbs and neck, brutally tearing him into several pieces!

Amidst the splattering blood and flesh, the pitch-black tentacles precisely grasped a glimmer of silver, presenting it to the Dark Tentacles.

“Foolish guy, daring to contend for the key fragment with such little strength!”

The Dark Tentacles took the key fragment, glanced disdainfully at the remains on the ground, then looked at Sunan, letting out a cold laugh.

“The second prey has willingly delivered itself.”

“It’s hard to say who the prey is,” Sunan slowly flew forward.

“It seems you have great confidence in your power,” the Dark Tentacles sneered, “Which member of the Forest Cabin are you? The Scepter? Or Black Forest?”

Sunan smiled playfully, “I thought you would have investigated me by now, especially since I’ve got the blood of your Eternal Life Association members on my hands.”

As soon as he said this, the Dark Tentacles immediately reacted.

“You are Sunan!”

Upon learning Sunan’s identity, the Dark Tentacles were not only not surprised but delighted, laughing coldly:

“So it’s you!”

“Hmph, if you had obediently hidden in your territory, I wouldn’t have been able to move against you, but now you appear alone before us, just as we hoped!”

“Kill you! And the Star Tower key will be ours!”

The Dark Tentacles had considered dealing with Sunan.

But according to his investigation, Sunan spent most of his time near the base in Flash City, or in Ghost Lake City underground.

Both places were Sunan’s strongholds, with many puppets stationed there.

Even he wouldn’t be so arrogant as to think he could kill Sunan in his stronghold.

But now Sunan had left his territory, which made things different.

Thinking that this trip could not only get the Cyan Spirit Branch to solve the bloodline rejection issue but also gain the ownership of the Eco-Park and the Star Tower key, the Dark Tentacles were filled with wild joy.

This could certainly be described as a big harvest!

In ecstatic joy, the black robe on the Dark Tentacles’ body surged violently, and dozens more tentacles emerged.

In an instant, hundreds of pitch-black tentacles tore through the air, sweeping overwhelmingly towards Sunan!

Sunan’s expression remained unchanged as he opened his mouth and let out a loud roar, with physically visible sound waves twisting and surging forward, crashing into the oncoming pitch-black tide, instantly shattering over a dozen tentacles!

Shattering Sound Wave!

Following closely, Sunan raised a hand, and nine Magic Missiles emerged from nowhere, shooting out and shattering each of the tentacles.

Hundreds of meters away, the Dark Tentacles were astonished upon seeing this.

“Instant Spellcasting!”

He clearly saw that Sunan’s consecutive spells were cast without the slightest delay!

It should be known that even spell-storage-type magical items have imperceptible delays when releasing spells, definitely not as smooth as Sunan’s.

The only explanation for achieving this level is Instant Spellcasting!

But how could this be possible?

How could a Wizard Apprentice master high-level metamagic techniques like Instant Spellcasting?

Even a prodigious talent like Saulo had only mastered Silent Spellcasting!

How could this kid be more powerful than Saulo?

The Dark Tentacles were in shock and disbelief.

And the next scene almost made him pop his eyes out.

Just as Sunan’s figure instantly split into eight, he raised his hand and shot out a scorching red beam.

Mirror Image Skill plus Scorching Beam!

Compound spellcasting!

The Wizard couldn’t help but gasp.

Another high-level arcane technique!

Including Instant Spellcasting and the inevitable Silent Spellcasting, Sunan has showcased three arcane techniques so far!

A Level 3 Wizard Apprentice who masters three arcane techniques?

It’s simply unheard of!

For a moment, the Wizard felt as if he were dreaming!

Shhh! Shhh!

As the black tendrils continually shattered one illusion after another, they were also being fragmented by Sunan’s successive magic.

When all the illusions were obliterated, and Sunan’s true body was exposed, there were only a scant dozen black tendrils remaining.

At this moment, the Wizard finally snapped back from his shock, and murderous intent soared in his heart.

The stronger the talent Sunan shows, the more he wants to kill him here.

Otherwise, letting him continue to grow will sooner or later become a great threat to the Eternal Life Association.

With a beast-like low growl, the black robe on the Wizard suddenly swelled and surged violently, as if something was about to burst out from within.

In the next moment, two black masses seemingly composed of viscous liquid fell out from the black robe and rapidly inflated into two hideous quadrupedal beasts the instant they hit the ground.

Both beasts stood seven or eight meters tall, resembling tigers or leopards, with sharp claws and fangs, their entire bodies pitch-black, like black silhouettes.

As soon as they took shape, the two quadrupedal beasts roared and pounced at Sunan, howling winds whistling through the air.

At the same time, the Wizard melded into the shadow beneath him as if falling into water, disappearing from sight.

Reappearing, he suddenly shot out from the shadow behind Sunan, his hands transforming into sharp black spikes, ferociously stabbing at Sunan’s back!

Thud!

A muffled sound echoed like a blade piercing leather!

The black spikes halted just two or three centimeters from Sunan’s body, blocked by an invisible force field.

The Wizard wasn’t surprised, for any Level 3 Wizard Apprentice surely possessed one or two protective magic items.

But protection is ultimately limited; as long as it’s breached, that’s all that matters!

The Wizard once again vanished into the shadows, taking advantage of Sunan’s engagement with the two quadrupedal beasts, constantly emerging from unexpected angles to assault Sunan.

But gradually, he sensed something amiss.

“What’s going on?”

“Why hasn’t this kid’s protective magic item been breached despite so many attacks?”

“Even if it’s a Micro-Light Level magic item, the energy should have been depleted by now!”

The Wizard was filled with bewildered astonishment.

This momentary distraction was immediately seized by Sunan, silver light flashing on his body in an instant, countless metal spikes forming out of thin air, sweeping over the Wizard in a torrent!

In almost an instant, the multiple layers of protection built from magic, magic items, and shadow power on his body were breached!

The black robe shattered instantly, revealing the entirely pitch-black, shadow-constructed short stature inside.

The next second, the relentless Metal Storm engulfed him.

The Wizard’s semi-shadow form was immune to most physical attacks, but had no defense against the Demon Pattern Core’s attack.

In an instant, he emitted a shrill scream of agony.

The black figure roiled like the surface of a lake under torrential rain, surging endlessly, visibly dimming!

Struck heavily, the Wizard’s fighting spirit quickly waned, leaving him with no previous murderous intent but only filled with fear.

He swiftly disappeared into the shadows, reappearing under a tree’s shadow a hundred meters away, shooting straight into the sky, flying rapidly into the distance without any hesitation.

Sunan’s formidable defense and attack had shattered his will to fight.

Now his mind was filled solely with fleeing.

At that moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the distant sky, swiftly flying from the east and south.

It was the Traveler and Bloodmouth.

Both had retrieved their key fragments and rushed over by sensing them.

Upon seeing Bloodmouth, the Wizard was instantly overjoyed, urgently calling out:

“Bloodmouth, save me!”

The Traveler, on his way, paused upon hearing this, glancing at the fleeing Wizard and then at Sunan who was calmly pursuing, eyes flickering with astonishment.

What is happening?
