Chapter 338: The Four's Hearts Pound, A Joint Strike to Suppress Burning Silence

The mechanical Artificial Eye locked onto Wang Ya’s position, calculating the optimal hit trajectory.

Information from Aiden filled his mind—the intel gathered on Wang Ya Harak.

The target had killed Duoguyin. In terms of Power, he was no weaker than any of the four of them. He was extremely dangerous and possessed an unknown Special Particle Energy.

All he had to do was find the right moment for a one-hit kill.

….

Living beings perceive light and see the sun through the feedback between their own force fields and the world’s magnetic field, allowing light to be refracted in their pupils.

At this moment, a scorching ray of sunlight from the sky converged on a single point in White Lake Wizard City.

As time passed, the sunlight focused on that spot grew increasingly intense, even beginning to melt the stone slabs on the ground.

Finally, as the light particles converged, three blurry figures materialized.

Sul Wizard’s face was pale and covered in sweat, her aura fluctuating erratically.

“How are you? Are you alright?” Schneider asked.

Sul waved her hand. “Don’t worry about me. I still have twenty percent of my Particle Energy left. The drain on my Spiritual Power was just too great. I need some time to recover.”

“That Extreme Wizard Apprentice is being besieged by four other Extreme Wizard Apprentices.”

Schneider nodded. “Understood.”

Exchanging a glance with Begging, the two cast their fastest movement Witchcraft and sped toward a location in the inner city.

“I hope we’re not too late.”

As Sul Wizard watched them depart, she took several Wizard Potions from her Wizard’s Ring. Uncorking them, she began to chug them down.

As the Extraordinary Potions went down, her aura gradually stabilized. Restoring Particle Energy wasn’t difficult, but the recovery of Extraordinary Spiritual Power was bound to be very slow.

She frowned, but still got to her feet and headed for the target location.

‘If our last remaining combatant is wiped out, then things will become truly difficult.’

‘And there’s no telling when the follow-up support will arrive.’

‘The fact that he can withstand a siege from four Extreme Wizard Apprentices proves he’s very strong. Perhaps he’s already reached the chief-level.’

Sul pondered as she moved.

‘The auras of Extreme Wizard Apprentices are easy to recognize. Originally, there were five. One of them must have been killed by that unknown Extreme Wizard Apprentice.’

‘There was a sixth aura, but it vanished soon after.’

Sul’s thoughts then turned to the three other missing members of the Dark Hand. Their Law Enforcement Wizard Robes allowed them to sense each other’s location and life status.

She sighed. The Law Enforcement Wizard Robe belonging to Wang Ya Harak showed no fluctuations.

Rod Stark’s Law Enforcement Wizard Robe had lost its life signature and spiritual fluctuations.

This meant the former was likely annihilated, with not even a body remaining.

The latter was most likely dead, though there was a small chance he was still alive, merely in some specific state.

Only Lando Brandt’s Law Enforcement Wizard Robe still maintained stable spiritual fluctuations and life signatures.

This was the harsh reality for a Law Enforcement Wizard, especially for members of the Dark Hand, who constantly faced powerful and difficult enemies.

Death was commonplace.

Ordinary Wizards died. Genius Wizards from Wizard Clans died. Wizards from Inheritance Lineages died. Regardless of one’s background, if your Power was insufficient and your foundations were lacking, you would die.

The only one you could truly rely on was yourself.

……

Spiritual Tide was an attack on the soul and Spiritual Power. It was Aiden’s strongest Witchcraft, the culmination of his entire Wizard Path.

A Wizard caught in the Spiritual Tide would be scoured by high-intensity Spiritual Energy. In the end, they might be reduced to a drooling idiot, or perhaps a walking corpse.

The body remains, but the soul within is dead.

Even Aiden himself didn’t dare get caught in the Spiritual Energy he had accumulated over such a long period.

It was like a massive dam; he could control the floodgates, and right now, they were fully open.

Once released, it would take a long time to accumulate again.

According to the original plan, Johnson should have been the one to attack the physical body. His Wild Grass Particle Energy was terrifying; once it took hold, it was nearly impossible to shake off. It would eventually root itself in a Wizard’s organs and limbs, draining them completely until they became a withered husk.

What they hadn’t expected was that their target also possessed a Special Particle Energy, one that seemed even more powerful than the Wild Grass Particle Energy.

Johnson had suffered a backlash. If he couldn’t stabilize himself, his own physical body would completely collapse.

Aiden stared at the figure within the azure tide. The fluctuating Spiritual Energy had already wrapped it in layer upon layer, crushing it down into the tide’s depths to endure the most desperate scouring.

No Wizard had ever endured past the sixth wave of the tide.

Within a five-hundred-meter radius, Spiritual Power was cut off. Any attempt to cast Witchcraft would be met with interference, causing the spell to fail.

White Rat released his cultivated creatures. A cross between Biological Witchcraft Artifacts and Extraordinary Creatures, they had no self-awareness—not even brains—and were thus naturally immune to the Spiritual Tide.

They had teeth sharp enough to bite through Extraordinary Metal and resilient bodies capable of surviving High-tier Witchcraft. Their numbers were also terrifying—a full one hundred of them.

With methods like these, White Rat was undoubtedly one of the most fearsome Extreme Wizard Apprentices.

Aiden even suspected that this guy had cultivated these black and white rats specifically to counter him.
