Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 538 - 536: Peerless Evil Spirit?

Chapter 538: Chapter 536: Peerless Evil Spirit?

Ivan felt a sense of familiarity because he had encountered it up close before.

At that time, he was just a Level 2 Sorcerer.

One day, a swamp ant reported dire news to him, that the ant sentinels guarding the interior of the magic stone mine had been completely annihilated. Only later, when he and his party rushed there, did they realize it was the doing of rogue Spiritual Bodies.

They eradicated the rogue Spiritual Bodies with thunderous measures.

However, just when they thought they had resolved everything, the situation suddenly shifted, and a terrifying arm burst from the ground, its presence so overwhelming that they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

They were all prepared for a fight to the death.

...

The shift occurred again.

Above the cave in the mine, a large vortex appeared, from which a pitch-black chain descended, accurately wrapping around the terrifying arm, trying to drag both the arm and its owner into the vortex.

In the end, the owner of the arm severed it to escape the entanglement.

Locke, too, gained a special identity because of this encounter—a Grinder Emissary.

Ivan had never imagined that, after so many years, he would sense the presence of that terrifying arm again. He did not hide this fact and simply recounted the matter to Fiore.

“Is that true?”

In a secret room within the Golden Rock Tower, Fiore listened, somewhat dazed, her eyes wide with disbelief.

These words, how could they sound like a story?

“The presence isn’t exactly the same, but it’s roughly eighty to ninety percent identical,” Ivan stated.

“Sorcerer Ivan, I’m not doubting you, but given the gravity of this matter, I must seek confirmation from various sources,” Fiore hurriedly explained, as if thinking of something.

Ivan nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

Fiore fell silent, but her heart was anything but calm, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

“Regardless of the good or bad of this matter, it at least clarifies one thing. The situation we all feared most hasn’t happened, and for that, we should be glad.”

After a pause, Ivan broke the silence.

Fiore looked up blankly at him and nodded her head involuntarily after hearing his words.

With the example of that traitor being resurrected, the worst fear of the sorcerers of the Supreme Council was that the King of Green Thunder also revived and joined the opposing camp.

Should that happen, it would be a devastating blow to the sorcerer world, even capable of crushing the sorcerers’ beliefs completely.

Now, Ivan’s words confirmed that the disturbances caused by the King of Green Thunder had nothing to do with the extreme beast plane, undoubtedly alleviating everyone’s concerns.

“Is the magic stone mine located in the eastern region of the Chanay Continent?”

“Yes, it is not far from East Capital, but the residual forces in the mine have already been cleared by my men, it’s impossible to find any traces now.”

“Your men managed to completely clear the special force field where the Spiritual Body was?”

Hearing his reply, Fiore wore a surprised look on her face. After all, he had been only a Level 2 Sorcerer at the time, and how capable could his subordinates be?

“There are specializations within every craft,” Ivan responded.

“Sorcerer Ivan, could I please ask for his assistance?” Fiore, taken aback, immediately expressed her wish for Locke’s help.

“He can’t come; he’s trapped in an alien realm, waiting for me to rescue him,” Ivan shook his head.

“That’s too bad,” Fiore felt somewhat disordered within and made no decision on the spot. “Sorcerer Ivan, thank you for this time. I’ll go back and think it over carefully, and will consult with you later.”

Ivan didn’t hold her back, escorting her to the entrance of the Golden Rock Tower. He watched in the direction Fiore was leaving, his gaze lingering for a long while.

Of course, he wasn’t coveting her beauty since, in terms of looks, this Fiore could only be considered above average, hardly standing out in the beauty-filled sorcerer world.

He was considering what changes this matter might bring about, what role he could play, and whether there were any opportunities to leverage.

Since Locke was still alive, he couldn’t just ignore him.

“Ivan, your reverence, you can’t bear to let go, can you?”

While Ivan pondered, two graceful figures appeared by his side.

“The speaker was his ‘wife’—Tanaya, who teasingly remarked with an ambiguous gaze.

“It seems you’re a bit bored,” Ivan said indifferently.

“I get it, you think her appearance is nothing special, not worth coveting,” Tanaya’s beautiful eyes half-closed as a rare sleazy expression crossed her delicate face.

“I’m telling you, you’ve been fooled by her robe. Her figure is just perfect, not a bit more or less, outstanding even among the entire sorcerer world. Don’t believe me? Ask Gerry.”

Gerry nodded slightly, agreeing.

“How do you know so well, don’t tell me you’ve been coveting—” Ivan cast a suspicious glance at Tanaya.

“Absolutely not, don’t think just because you’re an Arcane Wizard you can talk nonsense,” Tanaya couldn’t help but rudely jump into the conversation first.

“Enough, I don’t have time for your nonsense.”

Ivan waved his hand dismissively and headed towards the tower.

Watching his retreating figure, Tanaya pouted a bit aggrievedly, feeling frustrated, stomping her foot harshly, but unfortunately the person had already walked away, leaving her to stew in her own vexation alone.

Meanwhile.

Ivan had no idea that because of his single glance and comment, Tanaya was unable to let it go for a long time.

He had only collected a bit of information on Fiachra when he learned why Tanaya knew so much; the reason was simple, these two had once successively held the same title—’Sorcerer Princess.’

Tanaya was greatly favored by the King of the Long Sky.

In earlier years, Fiachra had been dearly loved by the King of Green Thunder.

Compared to Tanaya, Fiachra’s talents weren’t as exceptional, and she wasn’t as remarkable originally, her personality somewhat blunt; however, with the support of the King of Green Thunder, she had cultivated all the way to the arcane realm.

With just this, she had firmly suppressed Tanaya.

Tanaya was clearly willing to find some fun for the other party.

“So there’s such a background, but it indeed is rather boring.”

Reviewing the growth paths of these two, Ivan then looked back at his own, which simply couldn’t be compared at all.

…

Time slowly passed, and after another month, Ivan prepared to leave Truth City, planning to return to Chanay Continent.

As Tanaya and others saw him off, an airship leisurely flew out of Golden Rock Tower and slowly accelerated towards the outside of the Peak of Truth, gradually disappearing into the distance.

The airship was brand new, a gift from the Vinton family.

Fiachra said it was to thank him, a token of appreciation, insisting that he must accept it.

Much like the Fitzgerald family, the Vinton family was also fabulously wealthy, so Ivan did not hesitate to accept this shuttle-shaped airship that was more focused on speed.

He named the airship ‘Lanshuo.’

According to the deliverers, Lanshuo was the best shuttle-shaped airship in the Vinton family.

Leaving Truth City, Ivan tried it out and indeed found it to be true; Lanshuo was almost as good as the Cloud Shuttle, carefully adjusted by President Hardy.

With this airship as his new mount, the journey would save quite a bit of time.

“I wonder how Wizard Fiachra is doing over there, does she need me to take action?”

On the forward deck of Lanshuo, after testing the airship’s performance, Ivan thought of another matter.

Regarding something left by the King of Green Thunder, which was likely to turn into a ‘Peerless Evil Spirit,’ Fiachra, after careful consideration, still decided to report it to the King of Ten Thousand Woods.

The King of Ten Thousand Woods offered two solutions: One, let the Vinton family handle it themselves; two, assign a group on Chanay Continent to manage it.

Fiachra naturally preferred to handle it herself, so she hurriedly led a group from her family to Chanay Continent.

The second solution wasn’t completely discarded, serving as a backup plan.

Ivan was included in the list for the second plan, therefore, he didn’t need to rush back to Chanay Continent.

Whether it was the first or second plan, the King of Ten Thousand Woods had issued a strict order to handle this matter properly and reminded him not to venture to the underworld until it was resolved.

As for how to properly handle it, they were to seek advice from Sage Hardy, who was in Chanay Continent.
