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

Chapter 425 I'm finally back!
Under the delighted gaze of the Shadow School, Wei En showed no mercy and massacred those "Source Soul Seeds".

And he also discovered something interesting.

As long as his target is the "Source Soul Seeds" that have already parasitized the bodies of living people, the "Source Soul Seeds" nearby will gather around him like moths to a flame.

If it is an ordinary shadow creature, the speed at which the remaining "Source Soul Seeds" gather towards him will slow down.

Therefore, later on, Wei En directly expanded his spiritual perception and specifically looked for those "Source Soul Seeds" that had already parasitized.

Under the flash spell, his figure crisscrossed the entire battlefield area, like a "God of Death" who specialized in reaping lives, turning into a black stream of light and shuttling back and forth.

At the same time, ghosts and other original sub-bodies cast undead and elemental spells such as [Corpse Explosion], [Soul Separation] and [Frost Nova], while using [Soul Devouring Spell] to devour the shattered "Source Soul Seed".

He alone almost cleared out the entire rear of the shadow creature.

And because of the panel, not only did he not consume much energy in killing these shadow creatures, but the rewards he received made his various attributes and origins skyrocket.

What’s even more exaggerated is that compared to the deep-sea seed, the “Source Soul Seed” gives him more rewards, and the rate of decrease is slower.

It was as if the panel was encouraging him to kill as many "Source Soul Seeds" as possible.

This allowed Wei En to completely let go. The sixteen original sub-bodies all stared at him with blood-red eyes, surrounding him like a cannon, killing and devouring those "Source Soul Seeds".

Information floated across the panel, but he had no time to respond.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

[You use the Claw of the Dead (Death) spell to kill the weak "Source Soul". Comment: Don't stop, kill them all!
Special rewards: Survival points +1000, spirit level +20, toughness level +20. 】

[You use the Soul Devouring spell to devour substances with the origin of "chaos", and your origin power is partially improved. Special reward: origin +3. ]

【…】

Legendary wizards such as Salvatore took action to deal with the remaining scattered "Source Soul Seeds" and joined together with the Shadow School, the Earth Church and the city-state's extraordinary people.

"Thank you, Wizard Salvatore, and thank you to the Ghost, Spirit Mystic, and Blood Spirit Wizards for the rescue!"

François Lambert, the leader of the School of Shadows, looked agitated. His torn wizard robe and the blood on his face made him look disheveled.

But compared to the sadness in his heart, he was more excited at this moment about being able to bring back more shadow wizards to the school.

Salvatore glanced at him, walked around him and came to a bishop of the Church of the Earth:
"Tell me about the current situation in the southern continent. Are these shadow creatures gathering in only one place?"

"Dear Wizard Salvatore,"

The Bishop of the Church of the Earth, Blackye Garrido, dressed in a green brocade robe, bowed respectfully and said:

"It has been confirmed that they are invading our southern continent from three directions. The dark shadow creatures here are only in the western part of the continent. It is said that there are more dark shadow creatures in the central and eastern parts."

Salvatore frowned slightly. So many?
He originally thought that in less than a day, the number of dark shadow creatures emerging from the "Dark Pool" would not be that many, at least fewer than those inside the "Dark Pool".

Now it seems that those "Source Soul Seeds" probably began to pour out in large quantities at the first moment.

Their purpose should be to race against time, cultivating more mature "source souls" while engraving those magic pattern marks on the southern continent in order to arrange the magic pattern arrays needed for subsequent plans.

"Does the Earth Church have any follow-up plans to stop them? What progress have you made in studying these shadow creatures?"

Blackye Garrido hesitated and shook his head.
"The Holy Tree has not yet delivered any new oracles. According to the arrangements made by the Master, our mission is to slow down their movement and wait for follow-up orders."

"Oh," Salvatore turned to the Shadow School, "What about you? What does Chief Nigunicha say?"

"I……"

François Lambert showed a bitter smile. He had not obeyed the order of Chief Nigunica and had started a war against the shadow creatures without authorization. Now the school had regarded their advance wizards as the ones who had been completely wiped out.

"Chief Wizard Nigunicha doesn't know what's happening here?" Salvatore frowned and looked at him.

"I know," François Lambert said hesitantly, "but I guess they are resisting the black shadow creatures in the middle."

"The direction they are heading is exactly where the school's headquarters is..."

"Then the research on them..."

Salvatore thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I guess your Shadow School doesn't know much about them, otherwise you wouldn't be so reckless in fighting them."

“…” François Lambert opened his mouth and lowered his head in shame.

Although he is also a legendary high-level shadow wizard, he has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter.

"From what Wizard Salvatore said, you already know the details of these shadow creatures?" asked Blackye Garrido of the Church of the Earth.

"I know some, and I can share them with you for free."

Seeing the two people's delight, Salvatore waved his hand and said, "But there are conditions!"

"You said, as long as my Earth Church can do it, we will definitely agree to it!" Black Ye Garrido said firmly.

François Lambert also gritted his teeth and said, "Wizard Salvatore, for the sake of our fellow wizards and the relationship between our schools, please tell us how to deal with those monsters!"

"I can agree to all your conditions on behalf of the School of Shadows."

As long as he could get information about the weaknesses of these shadow creatures, not only would his guilt be reduced, but fewer shadow wizards in other places would also die.

"I hope that you and the people behind you can do your best to kill these shadow creatures and make sure not a single one is left alive!"

Salvatore knew that they couldn't stay in the southern continent forever, as they also had the target of the deep-sea expedition - the Twilight Cult, as well as the plans of the three chief wizards, Vaklav, Ragnar and Velosa.

Therefore, these "Source Soul Seeds" in the southern continent are best left to the Earth Church and the Shadow School to resolve.

"This……"

François Lambert and Blackeye Garrido looked at each other, both surprised that this condition seemed to have no effect on them.

Even if Wizard Salvatore had not proposed this, the Church of Earth and the School of Shadows would not let these shadow creatures go for their own safety.

"I don't think you realize how dangerous they are."

Salvatore didn't care what the two thought. He first introduced the origin of the "Source Soul Seed" before continuing:
"If you don't take it seriously enough, I believe the first place in this world to be destroyed by the 'Source Soul' will definitely be the Southern Continent."

"Then it will affect the deep sea, the east and west continents, and finally the northern continent where our Ghost School is located."

“‘Source Soul’…” Black Leaf Garrido’s expression became serious, and he bowed again and said, “Thank you for the reminder from Wizard Salvatore. I will definitely explain this to the Holy Tree!”

"No wonder, no wonder they can devour shadows..." After François understood, he felt even more regretful and self-blame.

If only he had been more cautious at the time, like the ghost wizards, and studied the shadow creatures first before making a decision.

This way, their Shadow School wouldn't lose so many wizards...

"You two are in a hurry, so I can't say more. These are the contents of our research records. Please send them back to the headquarters to prevent the southern continent from suffering greater losses."

"grateful!"

After François and Black Ye took it, they did not stay any longer and hurried to contact their respective headquarters.

After doing all this, Salvatore returned to Luciano and the others and hummed in a low voice:

"It is said that the Southern Continent is the most peaceful place in the world. Now it seems that this is not peace, but corruption!"

"After so many years, they haven't even had the slightest bit of caution." "Yeah," Luciano echoed, "Just now I saw a shadow wizard who couldn't cast a spell in a life-and-death battle because he was afraid."

"I can't believe it. He is a great wizard!"

"In fact," said the mysterious wizard Alicia, with an unnatural look on her face:
"Most of the wizards in our Spiritual Mysticism School are like this, otherwise they wouldn't be trapped to death by forbidden objects..."

The ghost and blood spirit wizards looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders, indicating that it was difficult to understand.

Salvatore listened to their discussion and his eyes fell on Wei En who was still slaughtering the "Source Soul Seeds".

Seeing that the place was almost cleaned up, he said, "Wai En, it's time to go to the next place!"

"Ok?"

Wei En heard his voice and paused, "Legend of Sarai, there are still many here..."

"The rest will be handled by the people from the Earth Church and the Shadow School. There are more 'Source Soul Seeds' on the other side!"

"Oh."

Wei En took a look at the shadow creatures covered by his spiritual perception, and there were indeed not many of them left, probably less than 20,000.

"Then let's go here first."

Wayne took back the Ghost and other original sub-bodies, and flashed to the side of Salvatore Legend and others.

"set off!"

Salvatore signaled to Blackye Garrido and turned to head east.

"These bastards of the Shadow School have indeed changed."

Luciano snapped and said, "You really have forgotten even the most basic methods of wizards!"

"So it's not without reason that they suffered such heavy losses."

"We should also learn from this and make sure those little guys in the school learn something good."

"indeed……"

Salvatore and Wayne were at the front, communicating with each other.

"Legend of Sarai, I'm a little worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"If we give the 'Source Soul Seed' to the Shadow School, I'm afraid there will be a big mess later."

Wei En thought about the "Source Soul Seeds" he had killed before. Even he had to use special spells to do it, let alone the restrained Shadow Wizard?

Moreover, the crisis in the southern continent is not just the "Source Soul Seed", there is also the attack from the black goat tribe.

He found it hard to believe that the Church of Earth and the School of Shadows could resist all of this.

"Don't underestimate the Shadow School," Salvatore said with a smile, "The reason they have been able to survive from the Third Age to this day, aside from the body of the god, is more due to their own strength."

"And we can't stay in the southern continent forever. There are more important things to do."

"It's enough to help them solve the problem of the magic mark. The rest depends on them themselves."

Wei En nodded, thinking it was a pity.

It’s a pity for those “Source Soul Seeds”, how much less reward will there be?

……

Just as Wei En and others were traveling in the southern continent, dark clouds suddenly gathered over the dead island in the hidden sea.

The six founders below, wrapped in golden bandages, stood in the shape of a hexagram, each revealing the single eye on their foreheads, projecting the original power of "truth and killing" to form an illusory magic circle.

As more and more power gathered on the magic circle, it responded faintly to the dark clouds hovering in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot up into the sky and directly connected to the dark cloud, forming a special passage.

The next second, hundreds of figures appeared in the center of the magic circle.

"Ah~"

"The long-lost fresh air is so intoxicatingly beautiful~"

Claire stepped out from the beam of light. She was wearing a gorgeous black dress, her hair was tied into a small braid, her charming face was painted with light makeup, and there was a crescent mark between her eyebrows.

Following closely behind her were a dozen people wearing the monk robes of the Church of Night. Their hoods covered their faces, so only their fair jaws could be seen.

Next came Silas and others who were commissioned by McAllister, the "Lord of Truth and Killing".

"Welcome Lady Claire and Lady Silas!" The founders knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.

"Get up."

Claire glanced at them with interest, then looked at the two-story cottage not far away and the several dead oak trees in front of it, and asked:

"What's going on now?"

"My Lord, the collection of 'The Dream of Gamendia' has been completed, and the various ritual nodes are being gradually improved. It is expected that the sacrificial ceremony will begin tomorrow night."

"Oh? Tomorrow night?"

Claire frowned secretly, then smiled calmly and said, "If that's the case, then let's continue as planned. Silas and I won't interfere too much in what's going on here."

"When the great Lord of Truth and Slaughter comes, He will naturally give you the rewards you deserve!"

"Thank you, sir!"

After saying that, Claire led the followers of the Church of Darkness into the hut.

As for Silas and others, they were directly teleported out through the oak to carry out other tasks.

Not long after, Claire stayed in the temporary room and asked the believers to wait outside.

Then she directly activated the special channel of the Eternal Life Society and contacted Menor.

"It's been so long, I don't know how Wayne is doing."

During this period, Claire got information about the outside world through McAllister.

There's no way that bastard would specifically give her the news about Wei En.

Therefore, after Claire came out, she wanted to know these things first.

"Claire? Where did you escape from?" Menor was stunned when he saw her figure through the mirror.

"Escape? I came back openly!"
