Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 554 - 9: Breakthrough

"That’s right."

Carl nodded, stretching his body as he spoke:

"Calling it a Legendary Potion might as well be calling it a Desecration Potion, because once consumed, the body will mutate irreversibly."

"Eventually..."

"Become a Desecration Abnormal Beast!"

?

Ruiqi’er and Hume’s faces turned grim.

Their first reaction to this news was shock and fear; the second was disbelief.

But the expressions of the two Apprentice Priests not far away were entirely visible, leaving no room for disbelief.

"How do you know?"

The female Apprentice Priest instinctively asked, then realized her mistake, shut her mouth, and avoided eye contact.

"Is it true?" Ruiqi’er trembled with anger, raising her bow and aiming at the two Apprentice Priests, forehead veins bulging as she roared:

"You’re trying to turn us into monsters!"

"Forget it." Carl reached out and gestured:

"They’re just following orders from above; no need to vent anger on them." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Conni!" Ruiqi’er stamped her foot, anxiously:

"Since you knew, why did you take the potion?"

"I learned it after taking the potion too." Carl shook his head gently, his face calm:

"It’s alright!"

"Everyone dies, either as lightly as a feather or as weighty as Mount Tai. If my death can awaken others, it’s worth it."

Upon hearing this.

Not only did Ruiqi’er and Hume’s faces grow somber, but even the expressions of the two Apprentice Priests became somewhat complicated.

They didn’t even dare to look at Carl.

"The current Holy Hall has forgotten its original purpose and has become a place for some to gain benefits."

Carl’s face was stern as he continued to perform:

"Mercy, justice, courage, fearlessness..."

"How many still remember the code of the Holy Temple Knights? It’s time for a change."

"Let’s go!"

He waved his hand:

"Let’s head over to the Golden Fruit Tree and take a look."

The others exchanged glances, each with complex expressions and thoughts, but all stood up.

The group set off toward the Golden Fruit Tree’s location.

"The Desecration Potion isn’t all bad."

Carl moved his wrist, smiling at the others:

"My recovery power is amazing now; I was seriously injured just now but now feel unaffected."

"And my strength is increasing quickly."

"Conni." The male Apprentice Priest glanced at him and, after a moment’s hesitation, spoke slowly:

"You’d better use your inner energy less; the effects of the Desecration Potion are irreversible. The more you use it, the easier it is to mutate."

Perhaps because Carl saved his life, or perhaps because of the stirring words earlier, his attitude toward Carl had changed significantly, no longer speaking condescendingly.

"Hm!"

Ruiqi’er snorted coldly.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder." Carl looked at him, eyes flickering:

"By the way, I still don’t know your names?"

"I’m Jerry, she’s Nicole." The male Apprentice Knight said:

"We were raised by Holy Temple Knights since young and used to follow the code, but a few years ago..."

"Everything changed."

Nicole nodded slowly, her expression gloomy.

"Things will be better again someday." Carl showed a faint smile, appearing fearless and upright:

"If we unite and strive for the same goal, nothing can stop us."

Nicole was moved, her eyes showing a hint of fervor.

How long had it been?

Since she witnessed certain things as she grew, she had never felt this blood boiling sensation again.

However, Jerry’s initial excitement gradually faded, becoming calm, his gaze pensive.

Anyone can shout slogans, but they don’t help solve real problems.

Like Carl.

He acknowledged Carl’s determination and loyal faith, but how could that change the outcome of mutation?

"Swoosh..."

Parting the leaves, the Golden Fruit Tree came into view.

Beneath the tree lay the corpse of a Hell Three-Headed Dog, with the heavily injured Rence and the giant adjusting their breath.

Next to them were two Desecration Abnormal Beasts guarding.

It seemed they had finally killed the Hell Three-Headed Dog but were similarly injured, losing one Desecration Abnormal Beast.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing the sound, Rence opened his eyes and looked up, frowning when he saw them:

"Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to return to the base after luring the Hell Three-Headed Dog away?"

"Elder." Jerry hurriedly said:

"We were worried about your safety, so we came to check."

"There’s no need." Rence snorted:

"Get back quickly."

"Wait a moment!" Carl suddenly frowned, gazing steadily at the giant in the clearing, his expression icy:

"Who is he?"

"Hmm?" Rence’s eyes turned cold:

"Who he is doesn’t concern you. Leave now; I’ll remember your contributions. Leave the rest alone."

"Yes, yes." Jerry nodded repeatedly, signaling Carl with his eyes:

"We’re leaving."

"Father Rence." But Carl had no intention of leaving, determined to get to the bottom of it:

"There is an aura of the Evil God on this person. As a Holy Temple Knight, are you colluding with the Evil God’s followers?"

"Outrageous!" Rence stood up in anger, shouting loudly:

"Who are you to question my actions?"

"Rence!" Carl refused to back down, his face full of righteousness:

"By colluding with the Evil God’s followers, you have already betrayed the Holy Temple’s principles and are unfit to continue as a Holy Temple Knight. Allowing someone like you, without faith, to teach others as a Priest will only lead the path astray."

"Haha..." Rence laughed in rage:

"The principles of the Holy Temple?"

"I didn’t expect anyone to remember that nowadays. I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it. What does it matter even if I have violated them?"

"Colluding with the Evil God, you deserve to be executed!" Carl drew his broad sword, staring directly at him:

"As a member of the Holy Temple, according to its commandments, I have the right to eliminate sinners like you!"

"Shhh!"

Myriad Buddha Hands - Nine Consecutive Strikes!

The Sword Qi danced wildly, slashing nine times in an instant, each attack landing at the end of the previous one.

A violent aura instantly stirred up a gale.

Hmm?

Rence’s expression changed slightly.

He hadn’t expected Carl, who had just advanced to Legendary, to be so strong, and he himself was injured.

"Damn it!"

"Bang!"

Sky Wolf Illusion Demon Fist!

Illusory fist shadows appeared out of thin air, colliding with the incoming Sword Qi, and both figures simultaneously flew backward.

After landing, Carl didn’t pause and attacked again with his sword.

"Die!"

His companions, Ruiqi’er and others, hesitated, unsure how to handle the situation in front of them.

Help Carl?

No joke, Rence was a Holy Hall Priest and one of the Second Elder’s most valued disciples.

Moreover, there was an unknown-strength Evil God’s follower present.

Help Rence?

Carl had just saved them not long ago, and his passionate speech had swayed their hearts.

Just as they were at a loss, the situation on the field had already changed.

"Bang!"

Rence spat blood and staggered back.

In the end, due to his injuries and Carl’s fierce attack, he was somewhat unable to resist.

"Rence, my friend, it seems the situation inside the Holy Temple isn’t as clear as you said."

The giant rose to his feet, flexing his wrists:

"Let me handle this!"

Boom!

It was as if a volcano erupted inside him, and the rampant aura directly suppressed the entire field.

Second Tier!

Ruiqi’er, Jerry, and others’ expressions changed drastically, instinctively feeling fearful like mice seeing a cat.

They looked at Carl with eyes full of pity.

It’s over!

A newly advanced Legendary had no chance against a Second Tier, even if the opponent was injured.

That’s exactly how it was.

Facing the aura suppression of a Second Tier, the ’First Tier’ Carl couldn’t even move.

"Crack...crack..."

His body trembled, and his eyes were fixed on the opponent, his teeth clenched tightly:

"I am a Holy Temple Knight, fearless, abiding by the Knight Path, guarding fairness and justice..."

"Heh..." The giant shook his head with a smile:

"Ignorant!"

"Knight!" Carl raised his head, the pale battle aura on his body thickening, enshrouding him completely:

"I am a knight, a true knight!"

Hmm?

The giant’s expression changed slightly, revealing a look of disbelief as if sensing something.

"Crack..."

A sound of breaking came.

"Boom!"

Carl roared at the sky, and a pair of pitch-black wings suddenly extended from his back.

"Desecration Abnormal Beast!"

Rence’s eyes widened:

"No!"

"It’s a Desecration Knight!"

A Second Tier Desecration Knight!

Under the giant’s ’oppression,’ the steadfast Carl had an ’emergency breakthrough’ and advanced to a Second Tier Knight.

"Impossible?" Hume’s face was dazed, murmuring:

"He had just advanced to Knight."

"Yes." Ruiqi’er’s face was also wooden, but in her eyes, a strange fervor gradually emerged:

"This must be a blessing from God!"

God’s blessing?

Apprentice Priests Jerry and Nicole’s eyes flickered, and with thoughts unknown, they knelt on the ground.

"Kill!"

Myriad Buddha Hands - Thirty-six Consecutive Hits!

Carl became a blur as he broke through the giant’s aura suppression, swinging his broad sword at the opponent.

"Die!"
