Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 418 "Source Soul" appears!
"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Kill the 'living ones' and we'll all survive!"

"kill!"

The pirates and sailors on the ghost ship transformed into dark shadow creatures, waving scimitars and floating ashore.

There are even more terrifying numbers of deep-sea species that can still travel in the sky even if they leave the sea.

The overwhelming black shadow creatures fought with the shadow school wizards and transformers.

At first, François Lambert was excited and thrilled, thinking that he had found a possibility to take the School of Shadows a step further.

But as the battle continued, a scene on the battlefield made him realize that something was wrong.

After several shadow creatures surrounded and killed a formal wizard of the Shadow School, one of the shadows actually merged into the wizard's body!
Not only that, after he merged with that body, his essence suddenly increased several times, and his strength almost reached the peak of a wizard, on the verge of being promoted to a great wizard.

"Roar--"

"This feeling is so great! The feeling of being alive, the feeling of being truly alive, everything is back!!"

The shadow wizard who was possessed by the black shadow had pale and bloodless skin and his eyes were pitch black.

But there was only excitement on his face. He roared madly at the people around him, venting his joy!

The dark shadow creatures around him not only did not attack him again, but seemed to be encouraged, and a faint mist slowly spread from their bodies.

"Kill, kill, kill - kill them and we will return to life!"

"Swallow them!"

"Hahahahaha… after two thousand years of waiting, I'm going to live!"

The shadow creatures completely exploded and launched a frantic attack on the Shadow School.

Those who succeeded in possessing and controlling the body were surrounded by the rest of the shadow creatures.

They seem to be protecting these "living" people, and would even rather be devoured by the shadow transformers, hoping that these people can survive!
The same is true for those black shadow deep-sea species, except that their bodies will be deformed after possessing a body, as if they have evolved, retaining the human body while possessing the characteristics of deep-sea species.

Some have two gills on their faces, some have their limbs turned into twisted tentacles, and some have their bodies covered with hard fish scales.

Although their forms vary, without exception these shadow creatures have indeed been resurrected using the bodies of wizards from the School of Shadows!
Moreover, the power they possess far exceeds that of the original wizards, an all-round improvement!

What's even more terrifying is that after taking control of the shadow wizard's body, they seem to have inherited the wizard's magical abilities.

He actually gained command of some of the Shadow Transformers, controlling them to stay in place and allowing more shadow creatures to possess and revive!

"what?"

"These shadowy creatures?!"

"Damn it, everyone listen up, make sure to kill them first"

François Lambert's face suddenly changed. He noticed the abnormality at the first moment and killed a nearby possessed wizard as quickly as possible.

At this time, he also noticed the second characteristic of the shadow creature!
"Attention, those wizards possessed by the shadow monsters, their origins are beyond the shadow origin, we must not let them survive!"

"Kill, kill them all!"

François Lambert felt secretly annoyed, regretting that he had not contacted Chief Wizard Nigunica first and made the decision to fight on his own.

He couldn't imagine what terrible consequences would be brought to the entire shadow school if all the wizards and shadow transformers here were possessed by those black shadow monsters and survived!

"Quick, contact Chief Wizard Nigunica, the North Shore is in danger!"

……

At the same time, in the "dark pool", outside the sea area, black sea water was gushing out.

Under the cover of thick dark clouds, the expedition wizards were still conducting various tests on the two undead creatures transformed by the "Dark Pool".

But now they can no longer be called undead creatures. Apart from the bodies made of black shadows, there is not a trace of undead essence in their bodies.

"The Legend of Sarai, at present, can only be confirmed as a mutation caused by the erosion of the origin of higher quality."

Alicia Mejia held a reagent bottle in her hand and said dejectedly, "But there is no way to detect its mass-force level."

"It's a strange discovery. Its origin seems to have shrunk. All the black shadow structures on the outside are protective layers. There is a tiny core inside."

"Core?" Salvatore frowned and asked, "Is this a guess or a confirmed thing?"

"More than seventy percent!" Alicia Mejia said firmly.

It looks like more than 70 percent, more like 100 percent.

"Can't locate it?"

"We've tried many methods, and it seems to be able to sense outside exploration and is trying to avoid it."

Salvatore thought for a few seconds and continued to ask: "Did those shadow creatures before also have the same situation?"

"It is impossible to confirm for now. It is probably because the previous experiments were not as detailed as this one, and there were many omissions."

"What about the rest?"

"We are not much different here," Luciano stretched out his bone claws and pointed at the ghoul not far away.

"But there is a very strange discovery."

"The consciousness of these two undead creatures is intact and they know every wizard present. However, they are just strangers to us and only want to go to the southern continent."

"It's like someone has distorted their cognition, or implanted a standard pattern into their core."

After listening to this, Salvatore thought for a moment and continued to look at the legendary wizards of the Blood Spirit School.

"what about you?"

"We didn't find anything here. These damn things are not affected by flesh and blood attacks at all!"

"Ah."

Salvatore nodded silently, his eyes fixed on the shadowy ghouls and vengeful creatures.

After a long time, he waved his hand to signal the legendary wizards to stay away.

"Oh?"

The next second, Mega and the other wizards looked at each other, not quite understanding what he wanted to do.

But out of respect for Salvatore, all the legendary wizards stepped away and watched his next move silently.

Salvatore placed his hand on the black shadow ghoul, ignoring its horrified look, and spoke in an extremely cold voice:

"Let me see your true faces!"

next second.

"Back in time!"

The moment the spell took effect, Salvatore's palm, wrapped in the original power, directly inserted into the zombie's chest.

"Oh?"

Salvatore frowned for a moment, then calmed down instantly. The original body behind his head released the "Time Rewind" spell again.

Once, twice, three times...

Salvatore kept repeating the "Time Rewind" spell, his hand constantly reaching into the ghoul's chest.

He was now quite sure that what Alicia said was true.

Inside these undead creatures, in their bodies wrapped in dark shadows, there hides a strange, conscious being.

At the same time, he was also sure that the power of this strange thing was not strong, but two conditions must be met in order to catch it.

First, the shadow creature must not be allowed to die. Once the outer shell dies, the strange things hidden inside will also disappear.

Second, this thing can hide freely inside the outer shell.

Even though Salvatore was extremely fast and used the [Time Rewind] spell to adjust "it"'s position many times, he still couldn't catch it.

until--

"It turns out that your power is not infinite!" After casting the [Time Rewind] spell again, Salvatore took something directly out of the ghoul's chest.

It was a spherical object about the size of a thumb.

To be precise, it is a creature - a spherical creature covered with a layer of special substance.

Through that special substance, Salvatore vaguely saw a baby-like shadow.

“Source Soul…”

"The source soul appears again!"

Salvatore's expression suddenly turned ugly.

He suddenly thought of something - Wayne had said before that the chief wizard of Vaklav was trapped.

Originally he thought that such a thing would be impossible to happen in the current world, but when he thought of the appearance of the "Source Soul", he suddenly realized that it was not impossible!

"Legend of Sarai, what is this?"

Alicia and other wizards saw that he paused casting the [Time Rewind] spell, and they all rushed over, looking curiously at what he was holding in his hand.

“Your face…” Luciano noticed Salvatore’s face and snapped, “Is there something wrong with this thing?”

"very bad!"

Salvatore held the black ball and said in a heavy tone: "Contact the chief wizards of your respective schools and tell them that the 'Source Soul' has appeared."

"No, to be more precise, the seed of the 'Source Soul' appeared!"

He looked at the "dark pool" not far away, and his expression became increasingly ugly.

If every shadow creature contains a "source soul" seed, once so many seeds grow up, it will be a devastating blow to the world.

"Legend of Salé, this... what is this 'Source Soul'?" Giovanni Draco was still puzzled.

"You blood spirit wizards really don't care about epoch relics."

Alicia Mejia also had a grim expression on her face. As a spiritual wizard, she was very knowledgeable in the pursuit and exploration of various "knowledge".

And things like the "Source Soul", which once devastated the entire world in the Second Era, were even more engraved in her mind.

However, in those records, Alicia did not describe the appearance of the "Source Soul". She only knew that it was a horrifying thing that could reproduce and parasitize infinitely.

It is difficult to kill, even harder to find, and can devour a person's essence...

"Thinking about it this way, the dissolution of the origin of the black shadow creature before was indeed like the swallowing of the origin of the 'Source Soul'."

"Stop talking nonsense, now, immediately, contact the chief wizard of each school!" Salvatore shouted.

"Yes!"

While the two major wizard schools, the Mystical and Blood Wizards, were contacting Chief Wizards Velosa and Ragnar, Salvatore, Luciano and others also activated the black communicator to urgently contact Vaklav.

"Internal number?"

"Annette, help me contact Vaklav, I know you have a way!"

"…Is there something important?"

"Very important, very urgent!"

"Later..."

Salvatore looked extremely serious, and for the first time in countless years, he felt fear in his heart.

The terrifying monster "Source Soul" that is peeping at this world from outside the "Cloak of the World" is fully named "Source Soul of Chaos"!
Legend has it that it is a dandruff-like creature split from a "Lord of Chaos" in the endless sea of ​​stars outside.

It is equivalent to one of His cells!
But the terrifying thing is that just this one cell organism has plunged the second era of this world into endless chaos, despair and destruction.

As Vaclav's younger brother, Salvatore knew many secrets.

For example, there are five sealed places in this world, one of which is located deep in the world of the dead and is guarded by the Ghost School.

The Blood Spirits and the Mechanical School are guarding the western continent.

The Southern Continent is guarded by the Shadow School, and the Eastern Continent is located under the tower where the Spiritual Mystery School is located.

The last sealed place is on the deep sea. It is rumored that this sealed place is under the deep sea and is guarded by the five major sea clans.

Now it seems that something has happened to the five major sea tribes, causing the seal to loosen, allowing the "Source Soul Seed" to invade this world!

"So the 'Deep Sea Doomsday' anomaly is likely to have originated from this!"

As Salvatore was deep in thought, Vaklav's figure appeared on the gray mist screen projected by the black communicator.

"Something happened in the deep sea?" This was Waklav's first question.

"Something happened, and it's beyond your imagination."

Salvatore held out the black spherical creature in his hand and said solemnly: "The 'Source Soul Seed' has appeared!"

"'Source Soul'..."

On the virtual screen, Waklav lowered his sunglasses slightly, as if he wanted to see through the screen and see the essence of the creature.

“It really is this.”

"Brother, do you know?" Salvatore asked suspiciously when he saw him so calm.

"Know something,"

Vaklav pushed up his sunglasses and said calmly, "I went to the world of the dead again these days, and the seal has loosened a bit."

"What? Lord Virawut knows?"

"Villawut didn't know before, but now he knows."

Vaklav's tone was a little helpless, "Now it seems that the impact caused by the loosening of the seal has appeared!"

"you……"

"Don't worry, just listen to me."

Without waiting for Salvatore to ask, Vaklav waved his hand and said, "Velosa and Ragnar already know about this. What is certain is that the seal under the Spiritual Secret Tower is intact."

"Although the seal of the Blood Spirit School has consumed some power, it has not loosened."

"Only us ghosts?" Salvatore frowned and asked, "What's the reason? Is it because of the decrease in the number of undead creatures?"

"I don't know either." Waklav spread his hands.

"What should we do now?"

"Well……"

Waklav looked at the "Source Soul Seed" in his hand, thought for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice:

"We can only let Wayne take action."

"Him?" Salvatore was stunned for a moment, "Will his actions be effective?"

"His Corpse Explosion Technique cannot destroy every 'Source Soul Seed', but it is enough to destroy most of them."

Vaklav pointed behind him and said, "There are too many monsters there, and they are too serious. We need to destroy it."

"But shouldn't you come to the deep sea yourself?"

"Sorry, I have other things to do," Vaklav raised his lips, "You're not worried about me, are you?"

"Did you receive the letter I sent you?" Salvatore did not deny it.

"I got it, but unfortunately, I don't believe there is anything in this world that can trap me, not even the 'Source Soul'!"

"Whatever that 'Guide' can do, I, Waklav Samuel Kapo, can do as well!"

Salvatore: "..."

Damn, is now the time to be proud?
