Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 448: Black Hand (Extra 2400, asking for monthly pass)

The beast lunged, ready to kill Su Lu.

“Quiet!”

Su Lu’s brows furrowed, and a wave of spirit oppression descended sharply.

Boom!

The beast seemed as though it had taken a heavy blow, sprawling on the ground with its limbs trembling weakly.

“After losing control, you fall into a frenzy, yet by this means, you touched more mysterious knowledge?”

Looking at this scene, Su Lu was somewhat silent: “Unintentionally or deliberately?”

He could see that this beast, originally a wizard of the Arrogant School, might have surpassed the rank of [Whisperer] and become a second-level [Chanter].

However, it seemed that he had disregarded the prohibition, deliberately contacting the power of whispering, became indulged and lost control, turning into a beast.

“Not only the body, but even the soul has mutated. There’s no saving it …”

Su Lu gave a sigh, and a wisp of Erosion Fire emerged, covering the beast.

Fierce flames burned.

The beast howled in agony, but could not get up, as if pinned down by an invisible giant hand.

The fire eventually spread over its head.

Clearness reappeared in the beast’s eyes: “I … I am Groeth …”

A strange smile appeared on his human face, then quickly turned into ashes.

“It… He’s dead?”

The onlooking David asked incredulously.

“Yes, the beast has been eliminated, we’ve won,”

Carl seemed even more excited. It was incredibly lucky that this seemingly hopeless situation was resolved so easily.

Moreover.

He looked at Otto: “Mr. Officer, now that we have dealt with the beast, about the reward issue…”

“For this, please rest assured!”

Otto nodded repeatedly, gazing at Su Lu with reverence.

As long as this powerful spellcaster was present, even if it meant taking a bit of a loss, he would not dare to play any tricks.

“Alright, let us clean up the battlefield!”

Carl slapped David on the shoulder: “We can’t have the gentleman do everything!”

…

Dawn breaks.

The tumult and terror of last night gradually faded away.

Groups of villagers gathered outside the two-story house in the centre, pointing out from time to time.

“Ugh …”

David squatted in the corner, not knowing how many times he had vomited.

The bloody scenes in the villa haunted him: “It was too horrible … the Mayor’s family, including their children, none of them escaped …”

“That’s how terrible mysterious incidents are! It’s been like this before, and it’s getting even worse in recent years…”

Carl sat down next to David: “And that beast, it was a transformed wizard… Now, do you still want to pursue mysterious power?”

David was retching at the thought of the disgusting beast last night.

He held his head: “I don’t know…”

“Mr. Su Lu has been in the villa all the time, do you remember… those blood symbols on the walls?” At this moment, Carl suddenly asked in a hushed voice.

“What are you talking about?”

David raised his head in confusion. He was so scared at the time, how could he remember those things?

Only felt that the blood on the wall did seem to form some patterns, but he barely noticed.

“That’s the mysterious power you’ve been looking for.”

Carl sighed longly: “If you are still that determined, this is your best chance.”

He stood up and returned to the team.

“Leader, you don’t usually talk this much,” female mercenary Susan laughed.

“Maybe…..” Carl shrugged: “After all, he’s a young man, it doesn’t hurt to remind him a little more…”

“And about those rituals…”

Susan lowered her voice: “Should we?””

“Best not to.”

Carl shook his head: “Didn’t you see that wizard turn into a beast? And you dare to record this? The best way is through Mr. Su Lu to gain some knowledge, maybe David can move him.”

Mentioning this name, Carl involuntarily looked solemn, looking towards the direction of the villa.

“Speaking of which, his name is actually the same as the legendary Dragon Slayer.”

Susan licked her lips.

“But … it can’t be.”

Carl didn’t even believe it himself.

A legendary dragon Slayer, how could that be such a young man?

…

At this moment, Su Lu was standing in the villa, looking at the Arrogant Runes on the wall.

These runes were clearly written with plasma and appeared fragmented.

Even without the part of the roof and wall he destroyed, they were completely disorganized.

“But … If more could be collected, it seems like you could piece together a complete set of mysterious knowledge, maybe even a specific profession …”

The expression on Su Lu’s face changed slightly: “Perhaps … the ancient pioneers of the Main World, the first to acquire mysterious knowledge, even at the cost of madness or loss of control?”

To be honest, when he first propagated the line of Arrogant Wizards, he didn’t exactly have the best intentions.

Testing the resurgence of the world’s Spirit Tide was one part.

Another part was wanting to see if the seeds sown could bear beautiful fruit, ripe for the picking.

Now it seemed, human greed truly did exceed his expectations.

Just then, several people walked in. They were Otto and a few other militiamen.

They had lifeless eyes, like walking corpses, holding weapons such as lances, two-handed swords, and upon entering, they stared straight at Su Lu.

“Have you come?”

Su Lu gave a faint smile: “Purge negative energy!”

A flash of light passed by and fell on Otto and others.

They groaned, rolling on the ground, but it seemed as though some dark shadows screamed and fled from the void.

Su Lu stepped forward, following behind the dark shadow to a wooden house in the town: “Come out.”

The door creaked open, and in his sight, a wizard marked with Arrogant Runes was slowly making his way out.

“So you are the hidden hand behind all this? A [Whisperer]?”

Su Lu stared at him, spoke indifferently, but his words caused David, Carl, and the others who had rushed over to look horrified.

“Yes, you seem to know a lot about our Arrogant School … You should then also know, that being an enemy of us, the first major school of wizards, is unwise.”

The old wizard raised his chin slightly, revealing a sense of arrogance.

“You deliberately let your apprentice be influenced by the whispering, and actively pursued it, is it to enable his mind to connect with the great being and pass on some mysterious knowledge?”

Su Lu stared at the old wizard: “As for what he finally becomes, you don’t care.”

“So what if that’s true? The development of mysterious studies needs sacrifices!”

The old wizard answered with a vicious look: “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll hand over the knowledge he gained … That is the gift from the great being to me!””

“You madman! Do you know how many people were killed by that beast yesterday?”

From the side, David, who had rushed over, couldn’t bear it any longer, and was about to rush up and burst the old guy’s head!
