The Low-key Evil Wizard BOSS-Chapter 61 - 57: [Evil Spirit Calamity] Activated

The Evil Spirit Calamity could be considered a combination of a ritual and a Super Forbidden Curse.

Not only was its destructive power immense and astonishing, but it could also carve an immortal "Calamity Sacred Mark" into the surging tides of history.

To make such a grand, shocking debut in Ogrande City—a place the entire continent was watching due to the "Rat Plague" outbreak and the emergence of Transcendents—would at least double the effect of carving the Calamity Sacred Mark.

After drawing the curtains and sealing the small house from the outside world, Zorn lit black candles on the three Ritual Platforms.

He began to set up his rituals.

Zorn’s first ritual was to summon himself.

He was using the same materials he had used before.

After Zorn retrieved the offerings, he simply offered them again—it was all about recycling.

Soon, deep within the viscous Black Mist above the altar, his "true self" from the hidden anchor point faintly emerged.

The summoned Zorn could see his physical self in the small house below.

After using a curtain of darkness to completely seal and conceal the entire room, he continued setting up the rituals.

The second ritual was to summon the Sun King.

Of course, he wasn’t truly summoning the Sun King, but rather a portion of the power of the Sun King’s Golden Skeleton.

Its main purpose was to interfere with and erase Zorn’s presence here.

Once Zorn accumulated more of the Sun King’s Golden Skeleton and forged the Sun Golden Throne, that, combined with the concealment of the Black Mist, would provide a double guarantee of his safety.

Even now, his security was already quite high.

However, the Golden Throne was not yet complete, so he needed to use a ritual to channel a portion of the power over.

Once the Evil Spirit Calamity erupted, it would inevitably draw the attention of all the experts in Ogrande City, and the ensuing investigation would be unprecedentedly intense.

As an Evil Witch "boss," Zorn only wanted to develop in secret, precisely to avoid being tracked down.

The concealment from the Black Mist, coupled with the interference from the Sun King’s power, was enough to ensure his anonymity.

The third ritual was the Evil Spirit Calamity, the core of today’s plan.

The Evil Spirit Calamity came in two forms: "convergent" and "divergent."

The divergent form spread its power outward. Although its area of effect was vast, its destructive force was lacking.

It could instantly kill ordinary people and some Low-Level Transcendents.

But it was largely ineffective against High-Level Transcendents.

The convergent form, on the other hand, constrained its power within a certain area.

The resulting calamity barrier could trap even the powerful and annihilate them.

Zorn’s targets were the Beifulin Relief Station and those experts from the Forbidden Bloodline.

Without a doubt, he had to use the convergent form.

There were other benefits to using the convergent form as well.

If the Church and the official forces of Ogrande City were unable to eliminate Zorn’s Evil Spirit Calamity within a certain period, then this contained calamity would permanently alter the area’s Extraordinary environment, creating an indelible "Border Region."

It would be equivalent to carving a permanent brand onto Ogrande City!

Deep within the dim, silent, and hidden house, the final ritual incantation to Lord Egunus was completed.

WHOOSH—

A palm-sized vortex slowly bloomed on the ceiling of the Black Mist curtain.

"Erlu... Erlu..."

"Kas... Kas..."

A wave of strange, cold sound slowly rolled in.

The Calamity Black Mist rapidly seeped into the area. Simultaneously, small figures faintly appeared on the other side of the vortex. They... were desperate to cross over.

Currently, Zorn’s Evil Spirit Wizard Level was 2.

The power of his Evil Spirit Calamity was also Level 2.

Within the Evil Spirit Calamity environment, the channeled Calamity Black Mist transformed into the even more lethal Death Black Mist.

The synergy with his Evil Spirit Witchcraft would also be stronger.

A normal human would die within a few breaths after inhaling a single wisp of the Level 2 Death Black Mist.

A Level 1 Transcendent could resist it for a while but still could not escape their fate of Death.

Such was the terror of the Death Black Mist in a calamity environment.

Following the Death Black Mist were Evil Spirit Creatures from the outer reaches of the Calamity Origin Land.

At this stage, however, most were Level 1 Evil Spirit Creatures; Level 2 ones were rare.

Even so, these strange Evil Spirit Creatures were swift and used bizarre methods.

Though somewhat lacking in intelligence, their destructive power was no less than that of a Transcendent of the same level.

As the Evil Spirit Calamity ritual proceeded, the vortex began to expand.

More and more silhouettes of Evil Spirits gathered on the other side of the vortex, but they could not cross over without Zorn’s permission.

The Death Black Mist grew increasingly dense, but everything remained contained within the curtain of Black Mist.

The vortex finally stabilized once it completely covered the entire ceiling.

Now!

With a single thought, Zorn could activate the Evil Spirit Calamity and expand its terrifying power even further.

However... it wasn’t time yet.

He had to wait until afternoon, for word from the Bloodline Assassin Regina that the two Priests were opening the underground Sealing Gate, before he could unleash it.

Otherwise, it would be utterly absurd to unleash the calamity, kill all the enemies, and then discover the Sealing Gate couldn’t be opened.

Taking a deep breath, Zorn sat down steadily in a cross-legged position.

He extended his right hand.

ZZZT...

A Destruction Magic Ball, about the size of an adult’s fist, rapidly coalesced.

Controlling the Destruction Magic Ball with his mind, he began to wholeheartedly push for the growth of this particular Evil Spirit Witchcraft.

...

「Time quickly passed. It was soon a little after two in the afternoon.」

Zorn, who had been deepening his control over the Destruction Magic Ball, slowly opened his eyes.

From the application of the Spell to the circulation of Evil Energy and its resonance with the Black Mist, the Destruction Magic Ball had reached a perfect state.

He glanced at its stats; the Experience was already at 99%.

’Eliminate enough enemies in a single battle using a chain of Destruction Magic Balls.’

’That’s the prerequisite for upgrading the Destruction Magic Ball Magic.’

Zorn clearly didn’t meet this condition right now.

But he had the "Mark."

Zorn hadn’t yet used the Mark he had sketched onto the historical scroll of Ogrande City during the previous Evil Spirit Notification Ceremony.

A Mark carved into a Chapter of history’s great scroll could serve as an anchor point to accelerate one’s own training. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

It could also be used to break through Levels and upgrade Skills.

The function of a "Mark" was extraordinary. Whether they were from an Evil God Organization or an official Transcendent, everyone hoped to carve their own "Mark" into the historical scroll of this roaring tide of the Extraordinary era.

He mobilized the Mark from the Evil Spirit Notification Ceremony, slowly channeling a portion of its power into the Destruction Magic Ball.

After investing about a third of the Mark’s power, the Destruction Magic Ball naturally completed its evolution.

Destruction Magic Ball: Level 1 (0%).

Zorn spread his right hand slightly.

FWOOSH...

As blood-red flames bloomed, a Destruction Magic Ball the size of a large bowl materialized above his palm.

’Compared to when it was Level 0, the power of this evolved Level 1 Destruction Magic Ball has increased by at least three or four times. This is the growth potential of a Wizard boss!’

Feeling the astonishing power contained within, Zorn’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’When synergizing with the Black Mist, I can silently hide Destruction Magic Balls within it. I should be able to store at least five of them.’

’When unleashed together, my burst damage will increase significantly.’

After getting accustomed to the effect of storing five Magic Balls at this new level, Zorn looked up at the vortex overhead.

The benefit of having started the Evil Spirit Calamity ritual early was now apparent.

On the other side of the calamity vortex, a considerable number of Level 2 Evil Spirits were already waiting.

The moment he fully opened the gate, a batch of powerful Evil Spirit Creatures would immediately charge through.

Just as Zorn thought he would have to wait another two or three hours, a low, clear prayer reached him.

"Great Lord of Holy Witch..."

"Your most devout believer... beseeches you to descend with your great, miraculous power."

Zorn followed the sound of the prayer with his gaze.

He saw the Bloodline Assassin Regina, who was enveloped in Bloodline Power.

He watched as Regina finished her prayer, blew out the candle, and opened her door.

Outside, four Assistant Priests from the Forbidden Bloodline sect, all dressed in black robes, were waiting.

After a brief exchange, the group headed out.

’It’s about to begin!’

Zorn waited quietly.

About three minutes passed.

Taking a deep breath, Zorn rapidly expanded the area of the Evil Spirit Calamity to encompass the entire Beifulin Relief Station building, extending deep underground.

At the same time, Zorn opened the calamity vortex and activated the Evil Spirit Calamity’s complete form.

RUSH...

A large swarm of Level Two, translucent Evil Spirit Creatures, primarily composed of wicked spiritual energy, poured in.

Evil Spirit Corpse Ghosts, Evil Spirit Half-beastmen, Evil Spirit Werewolves, Evil Spirit Three-Faced Ghosts, Evil Spirit Demon Wolves, Evil Spirit Beldams...

Strange green lines of Evil Energy coiled around their bodies. Each one was ravenous, craving flesh, souls, and Spiritual Essence.

"Go! Go underground! Food that will drive you into a frenzy awaits you there."

At Zorn’s command, the swarm of Evil Spirit Creatures sank directly through the floors.

Human flesh, souls, the Spiritual Essence of Transcendents, and the Forbidden Blood—all were delicacies to them.

"AHH..."

Screams suddenly erupted.

"What the hell are these things?! Run...!"

"No... Help!"

Panic and chaos spread like wildfire.

The moment the Evil Spirit Calamity officially activated, high above on the Celestial Dome Curtain, the blazing Sun shone brightly.

In the distance, doves could be seen circling a church’s bell tower.

Large numbers of Holy Fierce Sun Church Believers were entering the church, preparing for their midday prayers.

Under the rule of the Church, everything was orderly and peaceful.

Just then, a calamity vortex appeared with unparalleled force, violently tearing a terrifying rift in the azure Celestial Dome Curtain.

It expanded rapidly, continuously spewing out Death Black Mist like a dreadful gloom descending over Ogrande City.

The Death Black Mist began to fall, showering the Catastrophe Zone below with terrifying Catastrophe Power.

Before anyone could even react, the long-planned Evil Spirit Calamity had plunged into Ogrande City like a dreadful sword of Calamity, announcing its arrival!
