Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 752

Chapter 742: The Undead in the Heart of the Tree

Unlike the night city disguised by the Inverted Tree,

the heart of the tree is a monotonous darkness.

As soon as Thor came in, he felt damp and depressed.

It was as if he was buried alive in the deep underground soil.

But the gentle touch of the Inverted Tree species quickly relieved his discomfort.

If Thor could completely devour the tree species instead of simply carrying it on his body, he might like this dark and quiet feeling.

Unfortunately, the tree species is prepared for Xiaozao.

After Thor adapted to this place, he looked up and saw Besstana, who only had half of her face left.

That was the expressionless wizard Beth he had seen in the office of the dean of Baidong College.

At this time, Beth still had no expression on her face, but she had no other body except that expressionless face.

Her body has completely turned into branches, and has grown many dense, dazzling tiny roots.

Some of these roots are hanging high, and some are hanging straight down.

These roots and branches surrounded Bestana’s head in the center.

“Wizard Thor, when you came to Archaeoster City, Baidong College warmly entertained you and provided you with a lot of help. Now you actually repay me like this!”

Bestana’s voice was not fluctuating, but her words were full of anger.

Thor sneered, “Don’t pretend, Wizard Bestana. If I were subdued by Dean Pound in the outside world, you would probably be happy to use me as the nourishment to maintain your spirit body, right?”

Thor looked Bestana up and down, and suddenly shook his head.

“Actually, I came here this time to make a deal with you. But now it seems that you don’t even have the basic qualifications to make a deal.”

Thor directly left Bestana and flew to the unconscious Char.

At this time, Char was holding the tooth of the white bone monster that Thor brought back from the chaotic domain. It had been contaminated by the radiation on it, and the spirit body began to transform into an evil spirit.

Thor took the tooth from Char’s fingertips and pressed it back into the palm of his left hand to seal the pollution on it.

Then, his right hand turned into a tentacle again, blowing directly on Char’s face, and with a light stroke of his left hand, he actually separated Char’s head from his body.

After the head and body were separated, Char’s body was completely alienated in a breath, turning into a sphere with an uneven surface.

Except for the color, it really looked a bit like the moon.

But this moon soon began to deform, with uneven surfaces, and finally grew spikes.

A good moon was actually covered with the skin of a hedgehog.

Thor soon discovered the characteristics of “sharp” and “harm” on this unconscious evil spirit.

If an ordinary person or a wizard apprentice accidentally touches this evil spirit, they will have unhealable wounds on their bodies, and bleed painfully until death.

However, in front of Thor, who was already at the third level, the evil spirit of Char’s partially alienated spirit was not enough.

Thor transferred Char’s head to his left hand, and then the tentacles transformed by his right hand expanded in an instant, becoming extremely huge, just like an octopus stretching out all its tentacles, opening its mouth wide and swallowing this thorn ball directly.

The sharpness and damage had no effect at all, and the tentacles directly absorbed it like jelly.

After being absorbed, the spirit and the pollution were separated into two in the tentacles.

The spirit was spit out again, and the pollution was left at the tip of the tentacle, and was finally pulled off by Thor and isolated for preservation.

Thor reattached the clean spirit to Char’s neck.

However, the clean spirit was like a chewed cake, and it was no longer the exquisite appearance it had been.

The spirit part of Char’s body turned into a ball of chaotic mud.

Thor pinched it twice with his hands, and found it difficult to restore it to its original state, so he decided to wait for Char to deal with it himself later.

After being treated by Thor, Char’s stagnant consciousness finally began to function.

When he opened his eyes again, the first person who felt incredible was Bestana behind Thor.

“How did you do it? You actually separated the pollution and the spirit completely?”

Thor dragged Char closer to Bestana, and secretly watched for her final resistance.

“I have dealt with the dead a lot, and I have seen a lot of souls. For example, I can see now that your sacrifice did not achieve the expected effect.”

The closer Thor got to Bestana, the more he could see that her situation was not normal.

Bestana blinked, and her eyelashes curled up like a dead branch.

“Yes, it was the tooth you gave to Char.”

Bestana’s voice remained calm, even though she was discussing her own demise.

“I originally thought that I had not been exposed to the pollution on that tooth, and I was still laughing at Char’s recklessness in dying together. I didn’t expect that I was the real fool.”

“Since the moment this tooth was exposed, it began to secretly emit pollution that I could not detect and resist!”

Her face slightly raised, as if she wanted to look at the sky, but there was only darkness above her head, and her roots were shaking because of her movements.

“I sacrificed the people of the whole city, but every time I absorbed a spirit, the pollution on my body would increase. I can already feel its pollution all over my roots and branches. The full spiritual power only makes me feel extremely weak, as if I have lost all my strength.”

Thor freed one hand and supported his chin. “You talked so much in detail, are you stalling for time?”

Bestana’s eyes suddenly widened, looking at Thor in disbelief.

“No need to praise me.” Thor waved his hand.

“Hehe…” Bestana, who had been calm all this time, suddenly started laughing. “Even if you find out, what can you do? I have already sealed the tree’s heart space. Even if you are level three, you can’t open the cage I made of my life! Since I can’t be resurrected, you can just die here and accompany me!”

The tree’s heart space suddenly became brighter, as if it switched from night to day in an instant.

Around Thor, as far as the eye could see, there were countless branches and roots.

I don’t know when, they have spread throughout the tree’s heart space, forming a cage with no visible edges at all.

“Only spirits can enter the tree’s heart space, and your body is still outside. No matter how powerful you are, a body without a soul can be worn down by the inverted tree bit by bit. After that, you will be trapped here forever, and after I die, it will dissipate bit by bit!”

Bestana seemed to have given up on resurrection, and all her strength was put into trapping Thor in the tree’s heart space.

Thor tried to sense his body, but the dense branches and roots made the whole space seem to be separated from the world.

Thor’s face was not panicked. After thinking for a moment, he took Char to get closer to Beth.

The distance between the two was gradually shortened, ten meters, five meters… one meter.

Finally, Thor could touch Beth’s face with just a hand.

The only skin left.

“Actually, I still have a way to survive.” Thor really raised his hand, and his fingertips were about to touch the other’s nose.

“That is to replace you, become the core of the inverted tree, establish a connection with it, and turn it into my locator. It is equivalent to becoming another you.”

A trace of panic flashed across Bestana’s face.

However, before she could refute anything, Thor suddenly lowered his head and couldn’t help laughing.

“Haha, haha, hahaha…”

“What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing… your acting is really bad!” Thor restrained his smile in an instant, “Actually, the real purpose of closing the tree’s heart space is to let me take the initiative to replace you as the core of the inverted tree, right?”

Bestana was stunned, opened her mouth, and didn’t know what to say.

Thor tilted his head, “Whether you want me to suffer the same pain you have suffered, or simply hope that after you die from the pollution, I can keep the Inverted Tree alive on your behalf… Oh, your eyes tell me it’s the latter…”

“If that’s the case, it’s easier to deal with.” Thor’s right fingertips suddenly turned into gray translucent tentacles, “I’ll give you a second way. Let’s make a deal?”
