A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Abyssal Titan (4)

The fierce battle lasted for dozens of hourglass times.

This Sturgeon Mammoth Super Bloodrage Beast was truly difficult to deal with. Even though it knew victory was hopeless, it showed no intent to flee. It seemed that in its will to live, there was no option for escape, which was the terrifying aspect of the bloodthirsty beasts.

After the battle ended, the Tidal Sprite King was the first to release his true form. From his continuous, weakened state of gasping, it was clear that the battle had been extraordinarily exhausting for him in terms of physical strength.

The Elemental Precipitation Stigmata Sorcerer also released his Elemental Embodiment status.

The seawater was stained a crimson color due to this Super Bloodrage Beast sinking into the deeper layers of the seabed. The depths below were so dark, there was no telling how deep it went to reach the bottom, and how many such terrifying bloodthirsty beasts lay hidden below.

If what the Tidal Sprite King said were true, and we were only in the mid-layers of the seawater, that would indeed be terrifying.

The Tidal Sprite King and the Elemental Precipitation Stigmata Sorcerer met, while Green and several Third-Level Great Sorcerers became mere background figures. About another ten hourglass times later, the Wither Tower Stigmata Sorcerer gathered around.

A wave of bloodthirsty beast attacks served as a wake-up call for the Stigmata Sorcerers, highlighting the fact that the mission of collecting the Titan’s Spear during this deep-sea journey was far from simple as imagined!

”To be on the safe side, let’s bring the Space Fortress down as well. The dormant will in the deepest darkness may involve some primordial creatures.”

Although the Elemental Precipitation Stigmata Sorcerer did not specify, both the Tidal Sprite King and the Wither Tower Stigmata Sorcerer knew, perhaps, there very likely was a seal of a dormant ancient titan relic there...

The thought alone, that it might be a remnant of a civilization world, was enough to make everyone proceed with caution.

The scattered Tidal Giant Legion, Witcher Witch Corps, and Soul Slave Monster Corps regrouped, quietly waiting, occasionally slaying rogue bloodthirsty beasts that dared to rush forward.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

Seven days later.

Hundreds of energy focus lights swung as the thousands of meters long metal base of the Space Fortress gradually descended, its overwhelming pressure, almost suffocating the Tidal Giants, bore down from above, and they looked up at this incomprehensible colossus with deep fear in their eyes.

This is the wisdom of the Wizards!

Compared to the massive size of the Space Fortress, what did those so-called large-bodied Super Bloodrage Beasts count for?

Without such wisdom and strength, how could the Ancient Wizards conquer one world after another on their paths?

In some worlds known for their massive creatures, in front of those, these Super Bloodrage Beasts were merely average.

As the Space Fortress descended into the seabed, both the Sorcerer’s Cloak of the Demon-hunting Wizards and the Sorcerer’s Cloak of the Space Airship thickened, giving everyone a sense of reliance and much peace of mind.

”Move forward!”

On the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab, Green issued commands to the surrounding Demon-Hunting Wizards before taking the lead in following the two Stigmata Sorcerers and the Tidal Sprite King further down into the deep sea, followed by the Soul Slave Monsters swimming chaotically through the deep.

Five hourglass times later.

Crackling!

Black arcs of electricity easily wiped out a charging bloodthirsty beast. Behind the Face of Truth, Green’s eyes swept over Xiao Ba, who was diligently instructing the Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Serpent nearby, then glanced at the surrounding Demon-Hunting Wizards and Soul Slaves who had nearly cleared out the bloodthirsty beasts, and then issued a new command to continue following the Stigmata Sorcerers deeper into the seabed.

......

Ten days later.

Diving deeper into the seawater, moving intermittently, after a full ten days, the searchlights of the Space Airship and Space Fortress finally illuminated something different from the infinite darkness of the past, causing light refraction at the bottom of the sea.

”The seabed!”

On the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab, Green naturally noticed these situations, the searchlights sweeping over jagged mountain ranges. Strangely, some remnants of artificial buildings were not the super giant Titan structures he had once imagined, but delicately small structures even smaller than average human buildings, employing some mechanical knowledge and unknown expertise.

”Titan’s Spear!”

One by one, the Titan’s Spears, ranging from one hundred to three hundred meters like deep-sea anchors, lay chaotically on the sea floor, emitting mysterious magnetic fields in eerie silence, with no bloodthirsty beasts around.

”Xiao Ba, go inside these delicate structures and see if they are indeed residential buildings or art pieces?”

The Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab carried Green to a cliff, and looking at exquisite structures mostly no more than half a meter high, Green turned and spoke to Xiao Ba with a frown.

”Gaga, I’ll go take a look.”

Disappearing from sight, Xiao Ba drilled into these delicate building doors, there should be a huge space inside, requiring Xiao Ba to roam around properly.

Collecting specimens and acquiring knowledge is the wizard’s nature.

Other Demon-Hunting Wizards also gathered around each building cluster, appearing as giants, carefully observing these architectural relics.

Some wizards cautiously dismantled the structures, studying the construction knowledge and decayed relics within, all so realistic, every facility functionally complete, clearly not just the art pieces Green first thought them to be.

Some wizards collected whole patches of exquisite structures, planning to conduct detailed research back at their laboratory.

After all, this is a Titan ruin!

Of course, those gathered around these building clusters were all elite Demon-Hunting Wizards with Honor Medals, while ordinary Demon-Hunting Wizards had no choice but to carry out the abyss exploration tasks and Titan’s Spear marking missions.

After several hourglass times have passed.

Even the Enigmatic Myriad-Headed Bird beside Green grew impatient. From the doorway of the small building in front of Green, Xiao Ba ”squeaked” out a transparent crystal brick about twenty centimeters, with a chubby green caterpillar sealed inside.

This chubby green caterpillar had six soft tentacles, with a meticulously detailed face and a brain-to-body ratio astonishingly high, signifying the initial phase of the spiritual transformation that Elemental Wizards strive for in mental evolution!

”Still alive!?”

Under the Face of Truth, Green’s eyes penetrated this crystal seal, resting on the soul of the caterpillar within.

”Master, everything inside the building has decayed, except this cute little fellow is still asleep.”

As a First-Level Honor Medal Demon-Hunting Wizard, Green naturally claimed the ”most majestic” and ”largest” building cluster, so finding something extraordinary was not surprising.

In his curiosity, Green, with great care, opened the crystal seal in his hand.

”Wow gaga, look, Master, it’s waking up!”

The pudgy little caterpillar’s pupils gradually revealed the light of Soul Fire, looking extremely terrified, facing Green.

”You must be cautious about what’s outside the box...”

The little caterpillar managed to speak a half-sentence in Green’s Soul Fire before its body twisted and blurred, disappearing into thin air, as if it had never existed in this world.

An indescribable eeriness, Green hadn’t sensed any traces of the Illusory World or energy fluctuations, yet it vanished inexplicably from his hand, a truly baffling disappearance!

A higher-dimensional life altering time, extracting it from this dimensional world...

”Master, everything else inside the building has decayed, only this cute little guy is still sleeping.”

Green’s eyebrows furrowed beneath the Face of Truth.

As a First-Level Honor Medal Demon Hunter Wizard, Green naturally took over the largest and most exquisite of the building clusters and wasn’t too surprised to find something unique.

In his surprise, Green opened the crystal seal in his hand very carefully.

”Wow gaga, look, Master, it’s waking up!”

The chubby little worm slowly opened its eyes, seemingly restless and full of Soul Fire brightness, staring at Green with terror.

”Outside there... is terrifying... it is filled with frantic bloodthirsty beasts shrouded in the sea... stay still.”

This cute little creature remains in a deep slumber.

Green as a First-Level Honor Medal Demon-Hunter Wizard naturally takes no chances.

”Continueth forward deep’r.,

With mine partn’r two crafts, enflee from bey’nd their torchbeams.,

In the guileful dark,,

Such vileness is meeteth h’re!

Methinks, nod and blinketh at mine partners fair,,

None else we shall dare await f’r Anon!

Counteth hours and minutes bygone latt’r.,

Into sea depths creep we would, spurst on ward anon

Strange childish voices echoes sound from the veil of the illus’ry realm,,

As its watchful fire woond’reth gentle.,

Yet til sun com’lh and fades life,,

With noisome beedistance slumbereth loss.,
