Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

They exploited this weakness to successfully breach the defense system and launched a counterattack against Otas.

Under the combined assault of everyone, Otas finally couldn’t hold on and was knocked to the ground.

“Otas, you lost,” David said coldly.

Otas lay on the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair.

He didn’t expect to lose at the hands of David and his companions.

“David…I…I was wrong…” Otas said weakly, “I shouldn’t have betrayed you…shouldn’t have tried to reclaim you…”

David looked at Otas, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He knew Otas had once been one of them, but now he had become their enemy.

However, he also understood that Otas was controlled by some force, and he wasn’t a true traitor.

“Otas, go,” David said in a deep voice, “I hope you reflect on your actions and find your own true path.”

Otas was stunned at these words, not expecting David to let him go.

He gave David a long, deep look, then silently left the laboratory.

With Otas gone, the tense atmosphere in the laboratory finally eased.

The companions gathered around David, asking about his condition with concern.

“David, are you alright?” Amy asked worriedly.

David shook his head and said, “I’m fine. It’s just…we need to think about what to do next.”

The companions nodded in agreement.

They knew this exploration had given them a deeper understanding of the Star Pupil Race’s secrets and their connection with the Ancient Gods.

However, they also realized the immense danger and challenges hidden behind this secret.

“We must find the failed bloodline mage and prevent him from threatening the multiverse,” Liliana said firmly.

David nodded and said, “That’s right. Plus, we need to find a way to leave this laboratory and continue our adventure.”

Under Liliana’s guidance, the companions began carefully searching every corner of the laboratory.

They discovered some hidden passages and mechanisms, which might lead to the laboratory’s exit.

After some effort, they finally found a passage leading to the outside world.

“Is everyone ready?” David asked.

The companions nodded to show they were ready.

They took a deep breath and stepped toward the outside world.

As they left, the truth of the Blood Source Sanctuary gradually unveiled its mysterious veil.

Under the mysterious power of the Blood Source Sanctuary, David and Liya were suddenly transported to a strange space.

This space seemed like a mirror world, everything appeared so unreal, yet so clearly presented before them.

“Where…where is this?” David asked in surprise as he looked around.

Liya gripped her magic staff tightly, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

She noticed everything in this space was similar to the real world but had subtle differences.

The air was filled with a strange energy fluctuation, making her feel both excited and a bit uneasy.

“We seem to have been transported to a mirror space,” Liya said in a deep voice, “Moreover, I sense two powerful forces approaching us.”

David was taken aback by her words, and as he followed her gaze, he indeed saw two huge figures closing in on them.

One was a War God puppet clad in silver armor and wielding a giant war axe, while the other was a massive and twisted mother tree root system, its surface covered with black corrupt substances, exuding an evil aura.

“This…this is the War God puppet of the Star Pupil Race and the corrupted mother tree root system!” David said in shock, “Are we really going to face both these powerful enemies at the same time?”

Liya nodded, her eyes filled with determination and resolve.

“That’s right, David. This is our trial. Only by simultaneously defeating these two enemies can we pass through this mirror space.”

David took a deep breath, preparing to face the imminent battle.

He knew this battle would be exceedingly difficult, but he also believed that he and Liya could overcome any hardship.

As the two enemies approached, the battle was about to commence.

The War God puppet swung its giant war axe at David, while the mother tree roots extended twisted branches, trying to entangle Liya.

David deftly dodged the attacks of the war axe, looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Liya wielded her magic staff, releasing brilliant light in an attempt to purify the corrupt substances of the mother tree roots.

However, these two enemies seemed extraordinarily powerful, and their attacks were overwhelming for both David and Liya.

Cracks appeared on David’s armor, and Liya also seemed a bit fatigued.

“This isn’t working,” David said, panting, “We must find their weaknesses.”

Liya nodded and closed her eyes, trying to perceive the power fluctuations of these two enemies.

Suddenly, a glimmer shone in her eyes as if she saw some kind of omen.

“David, I…I see it!” Liya said excitedly, “The weakness of the War God puppet is on the seventh node of its spine, just hit it there, and it’ll lose its combat capability!”

David was delighted to hear this. He immediately adjusted his attack strategy, searching for an opportunity to target the seventh node on the War God’s spine.

After a fierce battle, he finally found a flaw and struck a heavy blow at the node.

A crisp “crack” sound was heard as the War God’s body suddenly stiffened and then slowly fell to the ground.

Its eyes lost their light, seemingly incapable of threatening anyone anymore.

“We did it!” David shouted excitedly. However, he didn’t forget there was still another enemy to deal with.

He immediately turned to the mother tree roots, ready to continue the fight.

However, at that moment, Liya suddenly let out a cry of alarm.

David looked back and saw that the branches of the mother tree roots had already wrapped around Liya’s body, attempting to drag her underground.

“Liya!” David exclaimed in shock and rushed forward, trying to save Liya.

However, the branches of the mother tree roots were exceptionally tough, and his attacks didn’t seem to cause much damage to them.

“David, forget about me!” Liya said with difficulty, “You must find a way to purify the mother tree roots!”

David gritted his teeth at her words, knowing now was not the time to hesitate.

He immediately turned to search for a way to purify the mother tree roots.

After some searching, he finally discovered an ancient rune stone slab engraved with a spell to purify the mother tree roots.

David promptly began to recite the spell from the slab.

As the spell echoed, a warm and pure energy surged from his hand, spreading towards the mother tree roots.

The branches of the mother tree roots started to gradually loosen, and the corrupt substance began to fall off.

Finally, through David’s tireless efforts, the mother tree roots were completely purified.

They returned to their original vibrant state, as if given a new lease on life.

The twisted branches also slowly released, allowing Liya to break free.

“Liya!” David rushed forward and hugged Liya tightly.

He felt Liya’s body trembling slightly, evidently the ordeal had given her quite a scare.

“I’m okay, David,” Liya forced a smile and said, “Thank you for saving me.”

David shook his head and said, “We are partners, this is what I should do.”

The two exchanged a smile, then faced the mirror space together.

They knew that although they had defeated these two powerful enemies, the trial was not over.

They must find a way out of this space to continue their adventure.

However, just as they were ready to leave, Liya’s face suddenly changed.

She clutched her forehead as if experiencing some intense pain.
