A Sorcerer's Journey, 2

by Flying White Egrets

  One had to say that in terms of the soundness of basic professional knowledge, the 12th was no match for the 19th.

  Soon, the girl accompanied Glenn to a house solidified using the earth element. It was clean, tidy, and strong.

  The house caused Glenn to be slightly ashamed. He and Lafite had known each other for years and yet he had never thought of improving their living environment.

  Hula, Hula...

  A male student hurried to Glenn’s place with three others, and he eagerly asked: "I heard that you just came over from the battlefield, what happened there? Do we have the upper hand in defeating the 12th? "

  Glenn shook his head "sadly", and a few drops of tears trickled down his face...

  "Rosen, stop torturing Sanjay with the questions. He has lost his wife Amy. He must be very sad. Just let him take a good rest for a while." The little girl noticed Glenn's sadness on his face and became sadder, her big and bright eyes involuntarily shedding tears.

  The students looked at each other with sighs of relief, and the head said: "Sanjay? Right? Well, have a rest here."

  The students left, and Glenn sat alone on his bed, looking torn.

  The little girl sighed. "Sanjay, you rest yourself up here and I'll see you again tonight." Then she gently closed the door and also left.

  Inside the dim room, Glenn’s eyes flashed. He muttered: "Their numbers are around 40-50. Complete defensive measures. Gonna be hard to breach from the outside with a few of us or even dozens of us, but if it’s done from the inside..."

  Glenn took a vial of poison from his waist——It was the Evil Eye Kasmira.

  Glenn's body was immune to its lethal poison, so it was useless in building his constitution.

  "At this dosage, it should be a problem to kill a hundred, but it’s better to change some of these ingredients and then add some sedatives to make the poison last longer on them." While cooking the poison, he said: "This area is so outdated! Are they even using water collectively? One wouldn’t expect such a thing to happen in the 12th! Such a rookie mistake."

  ...

  Late at night, under the moonlight, Glenn visited room after room and collected the badges from the people who had been poisoned and thus had no ability to resist.

  Glenn sighed as he found that cute, innocent little girl who had died in peace.

  Glenn finally came to the headman’s room and picked up his badge. He must have died struggling painfully.

  He then pondered: "This one seems to be a little more well-known. So will he be easier to identify? Oh, Right, that little girl called him Rosen. "

  Glenn murmured something, and then his features slowly changed into Rosen's. After the transfiguration was complete, he burned Rosen’s body with his fireball.

  Chapter85 Feeding on Hatred

  "Who are you?" A female student looked at Glenn coldly. And an additional 20 of them were closing in on him.

  Glenn was baffled, having no idea what had given him away. He had spoken almost no words and the people here were not that familiar with Rosen. Then why was his identity revealed? However, he was now stopped by this green-eyed girl who announced that he was not the real one.

  "More than 20 students on me and in their territory. It’s kind of dangerous if a fight breaks out…" Instead, Glenn mumbled. "What are you talking about? I‘’m Rosen."

  His words didn’t work though. The fighters’ suspicious eyes became filled with anger, hatred even, and one of them burst out saying. "You bastard, what did you do with Rosen?"

  "You can’t even recognize me? How dare you say you are not a fake? Your polymorph is interesting. You deceived me a little in the beginning. Way better than the guy before." The girl sneered.

  Glenn knew the reason now. The girl before him must be someone prestigious in the 19th and he was not showing due respect to her, which had raised suspicion in the first place.

  "It seems the Glenn Dissimilation Sorcery only works for the appearance." Glen thought.

  Knowing a bloody confrontation would be inevitable, he was struck with an idea. He laughed in a fake cruel and evil voice. "Ha, What did I do to Rosen? Let me answer your question this way. I just ripped the clothes off the girl in front of him, exposed her body in the sun and…"

  "Hate me, and hate me more…"

  Of course Glenn didn’t do something that despicable. But he was depicting the dirty scene vividly as if he had done it. Plus the enchanted expression on his face which he deliberately put on. This really exasperated the students on scene whose eyes turned red, blood vessels showing and the tip of their nails digging into flesh.

  The green-eyed girl, in particular, became gloomy and desperate on hearing Glenn’s description.

  Noticing the crowd was angered as he expected, his features turned more evil and intoxicated. "You green-eyed little girl seem delicious. I’ll come to you after I’ve dealt with these guys. You’ll be very pleased after I give you what that girl has been through."

  Glenn was just acting out perfectly——His crooked tongue which is in sharp contrast with Rosen’s righteous face, brought the men’s degree of hatred to the apex.

  The fight finally broke out.

  "I want you villain dead right now." A male student in the group scowled. The next moment a block of bone armor appeared on his shoulder, and the armor then began to move across his body and soon covered it entirely. With the help of the earth element, he stomped on the ground and a hole was dug out in no time. The next second, he disappeared into it with a whizzing sound.

  When he was seen again, he was already coming at Glenn from overhead with a giant hammer in his hand. He was putting in great effort to smash Glenn so as to relieve his anger.

  The evil expressions were gone from Glenn’s face. He then said lightly. "This hatred feels…just about right."

  With a heavy intake of breath, Glenn threw a punch at the charger. A repulsive force surged toward the attacker.

  With a droning sound, everything around seemed to be frozen. And the next second, the student in the sky stared as he was blown backwards even faster than when he was trying to strike. He then slammed into an earth-element solidified house. His bone armor and shield broke, blood spurting from his mouth. He couldn’t even rise up.

  The remaining members of the team gulped upon seeing this as their pupils contracted.

  Although Glenn was still assuming Rosen’s appearance, they were looking at Glenn in great surprise.

  Glenn pulled back his tingling hand, put his Ashen mask back on and sneered.

  As the crowd was watching, Glenn roused the magical force inside his body as he casted a spell. A cloud of black fire then emerged from nowhere and gradually turned into a giant. It rose up and stared down upon the students.

  Flame Giant howled. Its skin which was composed of water and radium elements bounced irregularly and the skin seemed to be moving, powered by the fire within its body.

  Flame Giant roared again, blasting huge noise. He had become excited!

  The three-meter high giant kept growing in size and grew five meters tall as an indescribable energy moved inside him. The pair of eyes which protruded from his eye sockets, like a snail’s, turned more violent. The abruptly risen element energy even distorted the air in the vicinity.

  Glenn felt the strong activity of energy and said excitedly: "Oh, this big? To kill a few students wouldn’t be a problem at all…"

  It had been verified up to date that Flame Giant indeed fed on souls and hatred!

  Flame Giant could grow by feeding on souls, and evolve from drawing on life essence. It was like a sort of passive evolution.

  But this evolution was restricted in some ways, in terms of frequency and time span. In other words, they would grow forever.

  As for eating hatred, it was a temporary ability enhancement method. Besides the strength they had, the more hatred, the more capable they were.

&nb
sp; The sudden emergence of this giant had cowed the students, and with another blast of magical energy, a navy-blue, three-meter long sword, water element sword was seen in the leviathan’s hand.

  The giant thundered, and waved the sword around. The fire within was stirring up so violently as if it was trying to breach its skin.

  Upon seeing this, Glenn was almost taken over by pride.

  He was quite sure that he could stand his ground against even the Protectors or even take them down in an overwhelming manner.

  "You…" The startled green-eyed girl recovered from the shock and murmured a spell after gritting her teeth. Soon two green elves came out from her eye sockets. They fluttered their wings quickly and landed on her shoulder.

  Afterwards, the floral hoop around her head lighted and then petals were swirling around her.

  And the other students were also in battle positions as if they were facing the threat of death.

  The whole place was like a lighted tinder box——dozens of magical waves exploded. A storm was coming.

  Glenn walked to the giant with his wand in hand and mumbled. "Since they are not fooled, then I’m afraid that we have to use force. One, two, three…twenty-six. Hmm, plus the one I collected, the quota will be more than filled then."

  Glenn took out a magical stone for the provision of magical strength and then three fire bats appeared and hovered around his wand, wings flapping.

  Explosions followed.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Glenn was gasping, his face pale. There was a cut on his back but it was being "sewed up" by tentacles produced with the help of Glenn’s dissimilation sorcery. The healing process was surprisingly fast. Besides that his Ashen mask had been hacked, a deep cut left on it. Another loss was his wand which had been cut in half; blood was dripping from it.

  Glenn spat blood from his mouth and threw the wand aside.

  The giant tramped back towards Glenn from a distance. It had shrunk greatly and its appearance now become irregular. Parts of his skin collapsed, and black flame became smoke and disappeared.

  Glenn could tell, through his mental connection with the giant, that some of the students had escaped. "To handle thus many elite students in a stroke was kind of a stretch for me currently, especially with the two elves’ special skills." He signed. "With these two elves, she could manage to be among the top four of the Black Isotta for sure. If not that great, she would at least match Ardas, Bright Sword’s owner."

  Glenn signed again as he counted the badges. "Two short…Forget it. Just buy them with my stones. The cover has been blown. I’d better get back to my place instead of being cornered again."

  Glenn then transfigured to his original form, broke the giant (It can be re-summoned whenever it’s needed) and left, leaving this scarred war zone behind.

  The site was decorated by blood, explosion craters, as well as marks left by ice, thunder and earth element sorceries, and some things were still smoldering as if they would never cease to burn. It was as if a war just broken out here and at least over 100 students had been involved.

  "Can’t dawdle any longer. Must complete the Destructive Force of Fire Blast Sorcery. If it’s done, then…"

  He recovered his mental force quickly using magical stones and soon he pulled off the repulsive force, got off the ground and swished off to the valley.

  Chapter86 The Death of Gade

  In the sky, two students were facing off.

  Glenn’s nose and mouth were showing because the Ashen mask had been broken. He watched his rival’s bull-like strong figure, and noticed a trace of thunder force moving around him.

  "Thunder Axe Gade," said Glenn.

  Gade wore a black metal armor, revealing only a pair of eyes which gave off red lights. The armor was covered with protruding barbs that was surrounded by elements of varied attributes. On his back was a one and a half meter long axe, which had scarlet energy swimming around it as if it was something alive.

  "Ashen Mask Glenn. Did you expect us to meet again?" Gade grunted in a calm voice.

  However, Glenn knew that this was the moment of peace before the storm.

  Glenn had recovered from 80 percent of his wounds but his mask was damaged and his giant animal was still in a repair state in his mind, while Gade was fully combat ready.

  They both had been engaged in a fight and Glenn was aware of his opponent’s offensive power which could reach more than 150 degrees...

  Glenn’s face looked intense. "Fortunately, I still have that trump card——the Friendship Key." Glenn soothed himself by taking a deep breath: "It seems this battle is inevitable though."

  Gade made a muffled sneer. "You refused to join the four major organizations. You’re not ranked among the top ten. And yet you’re on the wanted list, then it’s natural you would be hunted by the four of us." Gade held out his hand quickly and in a flash his axe fell into his hand.

  A huge noise boomed and then Gade’s purple thunder force was raging about. It was moving so fast as if the nearby air was being pressured together and would explode at any time.

  Knowing that battle was unavoidable, Glenn stretched out his hand and his End Sound dagger landed into his hand.

  He watched Gade’s axe which was even bigger than his own body as he produced the indistinguishable flame on the dagger. His face could be seen in the reflection on the dagger.

  The two warriors stood off in the sky.

  Judging from the face of it, Glenn was completely at a disadvantage——He was in a loose cloak, with no wand in his hand excerpt for a weird-looking dagger while Gade was in a set of armor with an axe, not to mention his burly figure.

  "Glenn, why were you in 20 Drops of Blood’s territory before?" Gade seemed to be on the verge of initiating a charge. The thunder force around him seethed as if trying to drill into their owner’s body. In the next second, a ball of thunder force formed in the air and became more solid by the second.

  "Is this what it would look like if one could be at the second tier of the top ten?"

  Having obtained an initial analysis on his opponent’s strength, Glenn replied lightly. "It’s none of your business where I have been. You won’t stop hunting me until I can make it to top ten. So why are you…"

  Thunder force descended from the sky before Glenn finished the sentence. Glenn came up to it with his dagger.

  Sounds of metals clanking were heard.

  Glenn was pushed backwards over ten meters. But he was relieved. "That assault only had 75-80 degrees of power."

  On the other side, Gade, who had appeared to have obtained the upper hand, assumed a surprisingly dreadful look in his eyes.

  "How could it be?" He glared at Glenn. "If not for the fact that I took the initiative and had the reinforcement of thunder force and the axe, I would have been the one forced back…It’s ridiculous."

  Glenn sneered, showing a thoughtful expression. "My strength has grown to such an extent after ten years of hard practice?"

  After having realized that, Glenn eyes turned cold and was about to counterattack. However, his body couldn’t move as if he had been paralyzed. "The thunder force was a rare sign that could paralyze enemies?"

  Gade recovered from the shock. He mocked Glenn after catch his expression. "What a pity to idle away your life while you have the potential to be among the top ten? You’re so wasted…In this case, today you’ll die here and be a waste forever. "

  As Gade was launching an offensive, he found a cluster of fire burning on his chest. He immediately tried to put it out using his thunder force, but it grew more violent. He could feel the heat on his skin beneath the armor.

  He produced more of his thunder force to suppress the fire, however, the fire burned more intensely as if the thunder force was oil.

  Glenn was still clumsy in his moves. He laughed at Gade in his mind. "The Inextinguishable Flame would just die out naturally after
a moment if it’s not dealt with magical force. And his armor would kill it any time. A careful eye would have noticed this..."

  The big ball of thunder force with the inextinguishable flame in it became huge. There were savage wilderness in Gade’s eyes now.

  "Glenn, let’s see who will die today." Gade yelled.

  The ball of thunder force exploded and in the next split second, he was in front of Glenn, the glare of his axe making the hair on Glenn’s body prickle.

  Glenn smiled in the next second. "Matters are much simpler when handling a bull that doesn’t use its brain."

  The gravitational and repulsive formula being calculated in his mind, Glenn was repulsed off by over ten meters from Gade.

  A huge noise resounded. Gade caught up with his axe in hand.

  Glenn seemed to be unworried. He distorted his body and was ten meters away.

  Another loud sound resonated.

  Gade caught up again. "You can’t run out of my control."

  Instead of continuing to run, Glenn took Gade on with his End Sound dagger.

  Sounds of metal clashing echoed. Then Glenn whisked off again. He was paralyzed again yet was still laughing at Gade.

  "The Inextinguishable Flame has been drawing on the ‘nutrients’ of the thunder force and the strong energy moves are about to explode. He is doomed." Glenn smiled. "He is killing himself. The sorrow of sorcerers not using their brain."

  "You…" His eyes behind the helmet flashed with a tint of panic and confusion.

  There was a method to rescue himself though. He could separate himself from the part of thunder force that had "caught" on flame.

  Gade headed off into the sky with a booming sound without any hesitation, trying to complete the separation.

  Glenn was dragged fast to Gade the second the latter jumped into the air. It was the use of the gravitational force! Glenn used his still numb hands to carefully control that force.

  "Glenn, why are you…" Gade finally got afraid of the storming thunder force and the flame within.
