In the stifling incubation chamber, Leo's mind seemed to still echo with the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard's last, urgent instructions.
His consciousness was hazy and scattered. In the voice of the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, he seemed to hear the curious clicking of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard again. The two voices mixed together and alternated, making Leo's head ache terribly.
After a moment's thought, he regained a little consciousness but immediately fell into a deep coma again.
After an unknown amount of time, Leo regained consciousness. This time, his mental state recovered even better; he not only regained his ability to think but was also able to perceive his own body.
His once robust body, brimming with vigor and strength, now resembled a limp, decaying coffin, its withered form flickering like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Although he was mentally prepared, the severity of the injury was still somewhat unexpected for Leo.
"Awake? You've slept for quite a while."
The familiar voice of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard rang out, causing Leo to struggle to open his eyes.
The first thing he saw was the enormous head of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, who was looking at him with the same curiosity one would have for ants in a box.
After seven or eight hundred years, he lay back in the culture chamber, his body nourished by the energy-rich culture fluid. However, given his current physical condition, the culture chamber could only keep him alive at best.
The brain has the idea to get up and leave the incubation chamber, but the body can't keep up, or rather, the body doesn't react at all.
Such a sluggish bodily response made Leo subconsciously look at himself, only to see an old body covered in wrinkles and age spots.
He went from being a robust, Level Three Body-Refining Great Wizard to an old man who could die at any moment.
"The injuries on the surface of your body have long since healed, but you forcibly stimulated your Bloodline Power, greatly damaging your source power and bringing your bodily functions to the brink of collapse. As long as you pay attention to recuperation later, given your current physical condition, you should be able to recover to your previous state in a few hundred years."
"Of course, you'll need to stay in the incubation chamber for a while."
Seeing Leo's predicament, the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard wore a teasing smile.
"While I have to say you're a madman, I must congratulate you. You successfully killed the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard with the strength of Level Three Great Wizard. You've completed your revenge and created a miracle in the History of Wizard Civilization."
"It's all over the place now. Countless low-level wizards idolize you and worship you madly. Your reputation is even higher than that of the Stigmata Wizard."
The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, acting like a background character gathering information, actually had the time to explain the situation outside to Leo.
"Ahem, I have to thank the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard. If you hadn't thrown the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard out of the battlefield and controlled his spellcasting ability, even if I were several times stronger, I still wouldn't be his match."
The battle that day was too intense, a level three versus a level four battle. Leo's entire mental system was on edge, and coupled with the crazy backlash from the power of the Vengeance Giant Bloodline, he didn't have time to carefully consider the battle process.
Now that the great battle is over, with the death of the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard and the restoration of calm to the Vengeance Giant Bloodline, Leo has noticed too many abnormalities in the entire battle.
From beginning to end, the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard only launched two attacks. The first was a casual strike that almost tore the Vengeance Giant apart, and Leo only managed to recover by stimulating his Bloodline and overdrawing his life force. The second was a soul attack, attempting to absorb, modify, and completely control Leo Leo's soul.
However, Leo's soul was already anchored in the Shadow World, so no attack targeting Leo's soul had any effect. The most crucial second move had no effect on Leo.
If the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard had used some other attack instead of a soul attack in his second move, Leo would have had absolutely no chance of getting his revenge.
During the time it took the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard to use only two moves, how many spells and how many attacks did the Vengeance Giant use in total?
In the brief moments of their two encounters, the Vengeance Giant launched over a hundred attacks!
He, a level 3 character, can attack over a hundred times, so why did the level 4 Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard only attack twice?
This is blatantly wrong!
It can only be said that the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard was already under some suppression before fighting Leo, preventing him from unleashing his full strength.
It could be said that the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard who landed in front of Leo was a sitting duck, and was almost entirely on the defensive as Leo attacked him.
As for who did it, is it even a question? It was none other Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard right before our eyes!
"Haha, don't say that. If you hadn't found a way to deal with the resurrected Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, no one could have suppressed him."
The Undying Body laughed heartily, as if being seen through and flattered by Leo was a very happy thing.
After laughing for a while, the Undying Body pointed to the Purple Flame mark on the back of Leo's hand and solemnly asked, "In the final moments, you met the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard. What did he say to you? Did he have any specific information about the Black Skull?"
Leo struggled to raise the back of his hand, on which was marked with a burning purple flame.
"Ahem, the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard said he's leaving his entire estate to me."
"Well, there's nothing strange about that. In terms of relationships, you're the person he's closest to in the Wizard World."
The Undying Body nodded.
"He also demanded that I hand over the method to restrain their soul-modifying techniques, saying that the merits from the battle would be enough to earn me Special-Class Wizard Medal."
Leo blinked his clear eyes, as if he knew nothing and needed the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard to give him advice.
Leo's understanding of the Special-Class Wizard Medal was limited to books, and those books didn't provide detailed information about the privileges of the Special-Class Wizard Medal. Even though he was a holder of the First-Class Wizard Medal, he still didn't know anything about the Special-Class Wizard Medal.
"Well..."
The Undying Body hesitated and remained silent, its eyes darting around, unable to give Leo a definite answer.
"Ahem, sir, is there something troubling you?"
Leo, still in the incubation chamber, coughed violently, with red blood flowing from his mouth. His body was too weak; he could barely speak a few words before his body couldn't take it anymore.
"Fine, to be honest, if you don't have a way to stop them from modifying your soul, then I can award you First-Class Wizard Medal right now. Your performance and the battle merits you've earned are more than enough to First-Class Wizard Medal."
"However, the matter of the Special-Class Wizard Medal is too serious. We Stigmata Wizard do not have the authority to award it. It needs to be reported to the Supreme Lord, who Supreme Lord make the final decision."
"You may not be familiar with the function of the Special-Class Wizard Medal. Besides the common privileges such as status symbols, special privileges, and subsidies, it also has a very important ability: it allows you to make a request to the Supreme Lord."
"As long as it doesn't exceed the Supreme Lord's capabilities, they will generally agree."
The Undying Body looked at Leo in the incubation chamber and said with a very serious expression, "Do you understand? The Special-Class Wizard Medal is equivalent to having the Supreme Lord do something for you for free, so we have no right to agree; only the Supreme Lord can decide."
"Oh"
Leo remained silent, as if what the Undying Body said had nothing to do with him.
"Oh?... What do you mean by that?"
The Undying Body was infuriated by Leo's indifferent reaction; that was something that could get the Supreme Lord to do for free!
Supreme Lord,
I can do something for free.
What kind of Su Rong is this?
Even he doesn't have that ability, so how could Leo act so calmly?
The Wizard World hasn't seen Special-Class Wizard Medal for many years, so Leo's request can only be described as astonishing.
"Ahem, sir, I think you should report this first. What if the Supreme Lord disagrees? Then the Special-Class Wizard Medal will be out of the question."
Having received many of the Purple Flame Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard's memories and his final guidance, Leo was 60% certain that the Supreme Lord would agree.
Leo's calm demeanor was all an act; in reality, after the Undying Body finished explaining the abilities of the Special-Class Wizard Medal, Leo's entire mind went blank.
It turns out that the Special-Class Wizard Medal allows the Supreme Lord to do one thing for free.
I wonder if the Supreme Lord can resurrect Alice?
If the Supreme Lord can resurrect Alice, then the guidance of the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard must be for this purpose.
"Alright, alright, you can keep it in the incubation chamber for now. I'll discuss it with the other Stigmata Wizard, then report to the Supreme Lord, and I'll let you know the results later."
Perhaps the impact of the Special-Class Wizard Medal was too great, for the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard left in a hurry, leaving Leo alone in this empty palace.
" Yaoyao?"
Leo called out softly, feeling extremely uncomfortable being alone, as if he had lost an arm.
Since waking up, Li Xi had not seen Yaoyao, nor had he appeared. Looking at his own aged and decrepit appearance, Leo was very worried about Yaoyao's condition.
"What?"
With an unwilling expression, Yaoyao appeared above the incubation chamber, as if Leo had interrupted his dance party, bouncing and hopping, creating bubbles in the incubation chamber.
These bubbles hit Leo and shattered into countless pieces.
"Fine."
Seeing that Yao Yaoyao was as happy and carefree as ever, Leo closed his eyes with relief. His body was extremely tired and needed a lot of time to recover.
Just as Leo was recovering, a message was sent from here to the Wizard World. It seemed like an insignificant and trivial message, but no one knew what kind of shock it would cause.
