[The target search is for a rogue wizard, with certifications...]
[The inquirer is Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard, and meets the eligibility criteria.]
[ The Black Skull Stigmata Wizard's Wizard System is Soul Assimilation, which can be exchanged for 158 battle merits.]
Leo stared at the numbers in the Fate Wizard Book; to him, the numbers seemed to be mocking him.
To earn 158 battle merits, he needs to kill 158 Lord of Souls of the same level.
This is no joke!
He's only killed nine Level-Four Lord of Souls, and yet he's already being targeted by Level-Five Lord of Souls.
If he could kill so many Lord of Souls, the Returning Breath World wouldn't be satisfied until he was reduced to ashes. The Soul Master standing before him wouldn't be a Level-Five Lord of Souls, but Level-Six Lord of Souls!
He wouldn't live long enough to accumulate so many military achievements!
"Based on my current 14.25 battle merits, here is a list of knowledge items that can be exchanged."
Leo didn't need the entire knowledge system of the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard; he only needed a portion of it.
[14.25 battle merits can be exchanged for three Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard knowledge items: " Soul Traction," " Soul Cognition," and " Soul Modification."]
"Okay, that's all."
After Leo finished speaking, the battle merit numbers on the Fate Wizard Book were instantly cleared to zero, and a large amount of knowledge appeared on the Fate Wizard Book.
The Fate Wizard Book truly lives up to its reputation as a cosmic treasure, containing all the information about wizard civilization. It directly presents the knowledge that Leo exchanged on the blank pages at the back, allowing Leo to read it whenever he wants.
The Fate Wizard Book, though seemingly a thin book, possesses an infinite depth!
With the battle lines in the Gran World progressing steadily and no major unforeseen events occurring, and the Purple-Gold Vine not targeting him, Leo could focus entirely on his studies in his room.
The knowledge he exchanged wasn't very advanced, only around level three, which Leo learned very quickly.
Two years later, the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body returned. After reporting his progress to the Purple-Gold Vine, he came to visit Leo.
Nothing much happened; he was simply completely awestruck by Leo's strength. From the moment he arrived until now, the battle had never stopped.
However, he only managed to kill two Lord of Souls of the same level, and the second one was only achieved with Leo's help.
Leo fought for a shorter time and faced far more severe and dire circumstances than him. He often faced multiple opponents, yet he still managed to kill nine Lord of Souls of the same level, which was 4.5 times more than Li Xi.
He was completely convinced of Leo's abilities!
If you put him in Leo's position, he wouldn't even survive the first wave of the battle.
At the time, Leo was being chased by Level-Five Lord of Souls, and he was very anxious, but it was no use; his strength was limited, and he couldn't help much.
Upon hearing that Leo had returned safely, I came to visit Leo as soon as my mission was over.
During a casual conversation Boiling Blood Tyrant Body claimed that the war in the Gran World would end in about two years.
The puppet army will be completely annihilated, and the Gran World will be completely under the control of the wizards. This is the largest number of enemy troops killed since the war between the two World Cluster began.
Moreover, this marks the first time in a global struggle that a large world has been seized.
From his smug tone, Leo knew that he was still unaware of the specific details about the Returning Breath World.
The Returning Breath World doesn't care about the gains or losses of several worlds; what they care about are souls, and how many souls can be transported back to the Returning Breath World!
The information he obtained from the soul of Level-Five Lord of Souls should be top secret, information only released to sixth- or fifth-level individuals. They, Level Four Stigmata Wizard, are not qualified to know it.
Leo thought about it carefully later and realized that there was no problem with doing so, because the ability of the Returning Breath World was indeed a bit abnormal. If the wizards found out about it, it would be a significant blow to their morale.
Therefore, the previous statement that Stigmata Wizard specialize in dangerous missions while leaving the less dangerous main battlefields to the World Lord is not an act of leniency or pity from the Stigmata Wizard.
In reality, the Stigmata Wizard need to solve the problem of the Returning Breath World's attraction to souls. Once this problem is solved, the harm the Returning Breath World poses to the Wizard World will be greatly reduced.
During their casual conversation, the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body also inquired about how Leo had escaped from the clutches of that Level-Five Lord of Souls.
Leo gave the excuse he had prepared long ago, saying it was all luck; if the Lord of Souls hadn't had something to do, he wouldn't know where he would have died.
Boiling Blood Tyrant Body still felt a lingering fear, saying that the Level-Five Lord of Souls hadn't chased after him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape.
The Boiling Blood Tyrant Body, which originally thought it was quite powerful, has already suppressed all Stigmata pride after fighting here for only a few years, becoming as cautious as it was when it was a low-level wizard.
Another year passed, Leo finished studying the three books on soul knowledge that he had exchanged with all his battle merits. Combining his own understanding, he organized his Soul Cognition.
Time flies,
Inside the mothership, the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard was in command, while Leo and Boiling Blood Tyrant Body were both resting. As for the Interstellar Wanderer Stigmata Wizard and the Soul-Devouring Seal Stigmata Great Wizard, neither of them had returned.
On this day, the voice of the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard rang in Leo's ears.
" Atomic Control, come to me, I have a mission to assign."
Leo opened his eyes from deep thought. Regardless of Yao Yaoyao, who had been away for several years and had not yet returned, Yaoyao's savings had shrunk considerably in the battle with the Level-Five Lord of Souls. He had run away to refill his savings.
With a single step, they arrived inside the main hall on the first floor of the mothership.
"Captain," Leo said.
"Wait a moment, the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body will be here soon too," the Purple-Gold Vine said to Leo in a calm tone.
A few seconds later, the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body entered the hall.
"Team leader,"
"The great battle is nearing its end. Boiling Blood Tyrant Body, you will remain on the mothership as a mobile asset to monitor the progress of the war," the Purple-Gold Vine said to Boiling Blood Tyrant Body.
"Yes," Boiling Blood Tyrant Body.
Although Leo stayed in his room and didn't go out, he still knew the intelligence. On the battlefield, the puppet army had been suppressed to a very small area, and they could be completely wiped out with just one last burst of energy.
The Purple-Gold Vine shifted their gaze to Leo, and said with slight hesitation, "Originally, you shouldn't have been involved in this mission, but we've all seen your abilities. Since we're short-handed, we need you to take on the responsibility."
"Captain, please speak."
Judging from the Purple-Gold Vine's expression and tone, Leo knew it was another dangerous mission.
"There's some information you're unaware of. I can tell you that the outcome of this war won't be on the battlefield, but rather at the Soul Passage."
"The closer the war gets to its end, the more dangerous the Soul Passage becomes,"
"We need you and me to go to the Soul Passage together to reinforce them and thwart the Lord of Souls ' plans."
"Currently, all the level 5 and level 6 forces in the Gran World are concentrated there, which is extremely dangerous for you, but I don't need you to deal with the Level-Five Lord of Souls."
"We should still focus on dealing with the Level-Four Lord of Souls, and if possible, protect the few remaining World Lord. The war has just begun, and if World Lord under the alliance are wiped out, it will be a huge blow to morale."
The Purple-Gold Vine gleaned some information from Leo, revealing that the Soul Passage originally did not require the participation of Level Four Stigmata Wizard.
However, the pressure from the Soul-Devouring Seal was too great, and it had already sent more than a dozen urging messages. So no matter how dangerous it was for Leo, he had to forcibly take Leo there.
"To defend the Great Wizard Will is my inescapable duty. To utterly shatter the Lord of Souls ' plan is not a danger, but my glory!"
"Captain, I will definitely complete this arduous task."
Leo's impassioned speech surprised the Purple-Gold Vine. Its first thought was, "Is there really such a naive fool?"
Don't they know how dangerous the situation is there?
But a relieved smile immediately appeared on his face. "Good, good, good. Within the maximum scope of my authority, I can double the merits you earned this time."
"Thank you, Captain."
Leo seems to be possessed by a devoted fan of the Wizard Will, vowing to defend the glory of the Wizard Will to the death, and willing to put any danger behind him.
"If there are no problems, let's set off now." The Purple-Gold Vine seemed afraid that Leo would change his mind and wanted to leave immediately.
Leo did not hesitate at all. However, when he said goodbye to Boiling Blood Tyrant Body, Boiling Blood Tyrant Body looked at Leo with a reluctant look in his eyes, as if it were the last time he would see Leo.
The Soul Passage the Gran World is located at the world's extreme point. When the Purple-Gold Vine brought Leo closer, the place was already filled with a violent energy that Leo had never seen before.
The energy was so violent that nothing of the Gran World could be seen here anymore; the world ceased to exist here, shattered.
The world barrier has vanished here, revealing a direct view of the unfathomable depths of space. The howling winds sound like the lamentations and anguish of the Gran World.
The Gran World was powerless to resist and could only watch as these powerful beings wreaked havoc within his body.
Every cell in his body was telling him how dangerous the scene before him was; he was standing on the edge of death, and if he took just one more step closer, he would be devoured and torn apart by the merciless, violent energy.
No wonder they didn't send Level Four Stigmata Wizard; it was indeed too dangerous!
Leo forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and searched carefully, but he did not see the Soul Passage. He only saw a completely chaotic battlefield.
The energy surge was so chaotic that it distorted all the light, making it impossible to see anything with the naked eye except for a chaotic jumble of colors changing wildly. This chaotic color shift could blind lower life forms at first glance.
He released his mental energy, wanting to understand the current battle situation.
The Soul-Devouring Seal Stigmata Great Wizard did not see it, but he sensed sealing runes in the void where the world had been shattered. These runes were constantly extending within the energy tide that made Leo's heart pound, like countless giant hands trying to grab the prey and seal it away.
