"Boom"
The moment the spatial rift completely tore open, this giant man composed of countless skulls collapsed and flowed into the Main World.
The process was so smooth that I didn't feel the slightest bit of resistance.
Compared to the huge commotion caused by the previous Elemental Esoterica Stigmata Wizard, this Stigmata Wizard, although without any obvious anomalies, demonstrated that his effortless state indicated that he was stronger than that Elemental Esoterica Stigmata Wizard was also at level five.
As the last black skull flew through the spatial rift, it immediately formed the 500-meter-tall humanoid figure in the sky.
"Hehehe, I am the Black Skull Stigmata Wizard, who spreads the Great Wizard civilization according to the Wizard Will. Now, the evil Black Tomb World does not obey the Wizard Will, and I am determined to launch a great expedition to punish it, eliminate evil, and save the weak. Wizards, for the Great Wizard civilization, follow me on this expedition!"
A violent roar echoed through the sky, and a flash of light appeared. The starship had been infused with the Power of Laws the Wizard Will. The wizards on the expedition would be protected by the Wizard Will and would not be bound by the rules of other worlds.
"Boom"
Countless black streams flowed upstream, heading towards the starship in the sky. Each of these black streams was an expeditionary army composed of countless wizards and slaves.
The atmosphere was magnificent, with elements rippling around. The originally violent elemental energy in the space became as quiet and obedient as a well-behaved child.
Looking at the enormous figure composed of countless Black Skull, Leo was shocked to discover that this Stigmata Wizard was actually from the Black Skull Academy next to the Purple Flame Academy.
This guy used to be a formidable figure who dominated the five surrounding academies. Now that I've personally witnessed and experienced his aura, I finally understand why Black Skull Academy is so powerful.
This Black Skull Stigmata Wizard is exceptionally powerful even among Level-Five Stigmata Wizard!
" Benji, come with me to the battlefield."
Leo was completely shocked by the scene before him. Overwhelmed with emotion, he shouted Benji's name and flew towards the starship along with Alice.
Alice was followed by ten Level Two Fire Elemental Spirit; this was a method prepared for Alice by the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard.
Although a level 3 life form is strong, Alice's strength is not yet sufficient to sign the contract, so she can only bring Level Two Fire Elemental Spirit for now.
Privileges exist everywhere. You can't expect a disciple of a Stigmata Wizard to work as hard as an ordinary wizard, painstakingly saving money and subduing slaves one by one.
Benji transformed into its true form, a three-tailed fox with one eye, over thirty meters long, carrying Leo, Alice, and ten Fire Elemental Spirit straight into the sky. In an instant, they merged into the black torrent, becoming the most inconspicuous one among them.
The starship that swallowed up massive armies of wizards and slaves never seemed to be full; millions of slaves entering it were as if it were empty.
Leo was originally queuing in the air, but immediately a rat with a level-two aura and a ten-meter-long, ferocious muscle flew towards Leo.
Amidst the envious gazes of the other wizards, they stopped in front of Leo.
"Respected recipient of the Third-Class Wizard Medal, you are exempt from queuing and may bring your slaves and no more than two companions into the third level of the mothership ahead of time."
Thank you.
Amidst the envious gazes of all the wizards, Benji raised his neck high, carrying Leo and Alice on his back, and followed the level two rat towards the third level of the mothership.
This time, Leo finally saw other wizard medal recipients. There weren't many; only one in ten thousand wizards could receive a medal.
Even so, most of them are Third-Class Wizard Medal, second-class ones are rare, and first-class ones have never been seen, let alone special-class ones.
What caught Leo's attention even more was that almost none of these medal recipients were First-Level Wizard; at the very least, they were second-level wizards, and most were even Level Three Great Wizard.
Leo, Level One Lesser Wizard, immediately became the focus of attention. Many wizards looked at Leo, after all, it was quite an achievement to obtain a medal at level one.
A polite nod to each other is a way of leaving an impression.
The level-two rat led Leo and Alice to the third deck. Scattered medal-winning wizards and Level Three Great Wizard arrived one after another, and then walked familiarly inside.
The third level of the Starship is accessible not only to medal recipients but also to Level Three Great Wizard.
The level-two rat left after delivering it here, telling Leo before it left that they could just go inside and choose any room without a wizard.
Benji retracted its true form, its three tails wrapping around it as it landed on Leo's shoulder. The surrounding wizards exuded terrifying auras, making Benji's level three strength seem insignificant in comparison.
Just as Leo and Alice were about to walk forward, they suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.
" Nox, a Level Two Level-Two Elemental Wizard- Second-Class Wizard Medal from the Black Skull Academy!"
As Leo and Alice's gaze fell upon Nox, Nox turned around, and at the same time, a group of wizards around him looked towards Leo and Alice.
The seven wizards were all level two wizards, followed by a large group of more than a hundred level one and two slaves. This was a standard wizard squad!
Nox looked at Leo and Alice in surprise. He had clearly sensed a hint of hostility just now, but these were two newly promoted Level One Lesser Wizard.
First, he noticed the Third-Class Wizard Medal on Leo's chest, then he looked at the Benji on Leo's shoulder, and the ten Level Two Fire Elemental Spirit behind Alice. When his gaze fell on the Fire Elemental Spirit, Nox seemed to remember something.
Nox smiled and asked, "I saw you more than a hundred years ago during the conflict with the Purple Flame Wizard Academy, didn't I?"
Upon hearing this, Leo froze; this guy had actually remembered.
Alice instinctively reached for her staff, but then remembered they were on a starship and immediately put it down.
Leo and Alice bowed slightly. Whether in terms of rank or medals, Nox's status was above theirs.
"I have met Lord Nox. Indeed, over a hundred years ago we were Wizard Apprentice, and we were almost captured by Lord Nox back then," Leo replied.
"A hundred years ago, this should have been your first expedition, but you...?"
Nox remembered perfectly that he had been ordered by the great Black Skull Stigmata Wizard to kidnap ordinary civilians from the surrounding academies.
This was the simplest task for him, and he wouldn't have been needed otherwise; a few Wizard Apprentice would have been more than enough.
However, the Black Skull Stigmata Wizard needed so many that even sending out all the students and teachers from the entire academy wasn't enough, so even Level Two Wizard like him, who was far away in the Tower of Elements, was called back.
At first, the mission was simple; they captured quite a few people and killed many wizards from the Purple Flame Academy. However, later, while chasing a First-Level Wizard, they encountered a Wizard Apprentice cultivating in the crater.
This Wizard Apprentice caused a series of unforeseen events, ultimately resulting in the deaths of several first- and Level Two Wizard on his side.
He still doesn't know how that battle, which started in such a muddled way, came about.
But now, seeing that these two First-Level Wizard were the same two Wizard Apprentice from back then, along with their luxurious equipment and elite slaves, Nox vaguely guessed what was going on.
I suspected from the beginning that they had extraordinary backgrounds; otherwise, who could have come up with such a luxurious setup for their first expedition mission to the world?
And that Third-Class Wizard Medal, all of this speaks volumes about the extraordinary nature of this Level One Body Refinement Wizard!
"We've known each other for a long time. What happened before we became Official Wizard is in the past. I still don't know your name?" Nox asked Leo with a smile, the hostility from before long gone.
That's true. Back then, it was Level Two Wizard facing off against two junior Wizard Apprentice. The huge gap between them meant they could be considered two different kinds of beings.
Just like a normal person and an ant, who would consider the thoughts of an ant? But when an ant becomes a person, it's completely different.
Leo and Alice no longer harbored the hostility they had shown earlier; their momentary hostility was merely a passive reaction stemming from fear deep within them years ago.
I'm Official Wizard now; the past is long gone.
" Leo, Level One Body Refinement Wizard," Leo replied.
"This world we're exploring is going to be tough. You two be careful, and if you run into any trouble, just let us know."
Nox left with his squad, and the kindness he showed before leaving completely surprised Leo.
"Perhaps this is the difference between Official Wizard and Wizard Apprentice," Leo thought to himself.
At that moment, he vaguely understood that only officially certified wizards were considered individuals within the wizarding civilization, while ordinary civilians and Wizard Apprentice were subject to a process of selection. Unless they became Official Wizard, their fate would not be in their own hands.
Leo and Alice randomly chose a room; the interior space was large enough that even if Benji reverted to his true form, it would be perfectly adequate.
[The starship will officially launch in two days, and is expected to perform 33 Stellar Leap, with an estimated arrival time of 15 years.]
[The energy fluctuations during frog jumps are not conducive to meditation practice; it is recommended to enter a dormant period.]
Have a pleasant expedition!
The broadcast system on the starship kept ringing out various notices, especially emphasizing that no one was allowed to go above the second floor without orders, or face severe punishment.
"The first floor is where the Stigmata Wizard reside, the second floor is the command center, the third floor, which is our floor, is where the Level Three Great Wizard and medal recipients live, the fourth floor is for ordinary wizards, and the fifth and sixth floors are where the slave army is located," Alice explained to Leo.
At this moment, information about the Black Tomb World of the expedition had been declassified and transmitted over via an internal teleportation array, using a crystal ball.
