Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy Chapter 460

Chapter 460: Chapter 459: Entering the Field Personally

After this calamity, Wizard Morris's face was a picture of misery, and describing him as terrified couldn't be more suitable.

Only Ivan, his expression quickly shifted from tense back to composure.

“In the vast Star Realm, countless beings perish every day, and among these creatures, there are basically no weaklings. Some beings, unable to reconcile with their death, give rise to an extremely intense death malice and grudge.

Some of these death malices manage to persist, transforming into 'Evil Spirit Entities' in the unique environment of the Star Realm, which exist solely for one purpose–death and slaughter.

These Evil Spirit Entities, formless and invisible, once you encounter their malignant onslaught, will generate various strong negative impacts.

At the lighter end, they sway the will and breed illusions difficult to escape from, and at the more severe end, they result in a loss of consciousness, turning beings into mindless flesh puppets who know nothing but slaughter and mayhem.”

Facing the varied expressions of the three, Hotter spoke in a gentle tone, elaborating on the matter.

Facing the impact of the evil spirits directly, each of the three reacted differently.

“Ivan, you did well just now.”

“Luckily the President arrived in time, otherwise, we wouldn't have known how to respond,” Ivan said as he reached out and deftly retracted the Silver Moon Blade into his body.

“That strike of yours was quite good, it seemed to include a shadow of the Mage's Hand.”

“You're quite insightful; it initially extended from the Magic Hand, combining powers like the Black Magic Wind Fire Array, Black Demon Fire Silk Array, and many others along the way. It continuously deepened, accumulating strength over the days and months.”

Ivan noticed that Hotter was intentionally soothing the fluctuating emotions of the other two, especially Tanaya's, and he was happy to cooperate and respond in kind.

During this time, Hotter also took the opportunity to mention other potential issues that could be triggered by the Star Realm Gate.

Due to the high energy inside the River of Star Realm, which also contains various forces, force fields, and rules, it can give rise to all sorts of bizarre creatures, some of which even an Arcane Wizard might not detect, and the current Star Realm Gate couldn't distinguish either.

To Hotter and the others, this was one of the signs that the technology of crafting the Star Realm Gate was still immature.

“Sorry! I lost my composure a bit, and I worried you all.”

After a while, Tanaya finally regained her composure, but her eyes held a few more shades of melancholy.

“Should we retreat for now? Since your exploration is just taking a chance, not proceeding wouldn't matter much,” Hotter whispered.

“Sure, sure,” Morris was the first to respond, but no one listened to him.

“There's no need, the Star Realm Gate rarely opens up, and if we miss this opportunity, who knows how long we will have to wait for the next,” Tanaya said, her expression resolute as she shook her head.

Hotter had actually only queried Tanaya, and seeing her answer, he didn't insist any further.

This made the ignored Morris feel a bit resentful; the leader was just too biased.

Those present could see that the relationship between Hotter and Tanaya was indeed unusual. As for the reasons behind it, even someone as well-informed as Morris didn't know, let alone Ivan.

Subsequently, Hotter simply called over the other four people to prevent another incident like before.

During the recent upheaval, the four of them were truly petrified, and now each kept their heads down, unwilling to say much.

Ivan and his group didn't want to talk much either, maintaining a certain distance, they stood quietly in the middle of the purified area.

Time slowly passed, and by the afternoon of the fifth day, the light from the Star Realm Gate began to dim, and finally, an Arcane Wizard began to rest.

“It's almost your turn to go down,” Hotter reminded.

“Can I not go? I just remembered there's something I didn't put away in the lab,” Morris muttered, but he didn't quite notice that the isolation around had dissipated.

In these last few days, several upheavals occurred, only a few reached the rear areas, which Hotter handled with ease.

Even so, they had seen the dangers and cruelty revealed by the Star Realm Gate, and Morris truly did not want to participate in the forthcoming unknown exploration.

“Wizard Morris, what important thing has been confiscated that you need my help with?”

“Cough, cough, Chairman Doradoli, I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere and to amuse everyone.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared not far in front of him–it was Chairman Doradoli himself, staring at him with a teasing gaze, which made him quickly correct himself.

With that said, the nearby arcane wizards burst out laughing.

At this moment, Morris wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

“All right, all right, those who don't want to stay can leave now; the rest will be handled by the wizards who remain,” Doradoli said indifferently, used to such behavior from his kin.

“Thank you, Chairman Doradoli; see you later.”

“I'm leaving as well.”

“Hotter, let's drink together next time.”

In the sorcerer world, no arcane wizard doesn't need to preside over a region; everyone is quite busy and familiar with each other, so they don't bother with empty politeness, and many left soon after saying so.

In the end, only four arcane wizards remained to finish up.

After the others had left, as Hotter had reminded, it was Ivan and his group's turn to step forward, coming to the side of the still-operating Star Realm Gate.

A total of seven Level 3 Sorcerers, each holding a rather large Crystal Ball.

The purpose of the Crystal Ball was simple– to assist in locating, to avoid finding valuable items without being able to precisely set the spatial coordinates, and thereby missing the opportunity to collect them.

“Let's begin.”

Doradoli briefly mentioned a few related matters and then signaled the seven to start.

A cut when you stick your neck out, and a cut when you withdraw it.

Especially since there were four arcane wizards standing beside them.

Upon hearing this, Ivan moved forward half a step again.

He compressed multiple spirit power crystals into one until it could no longer contain any more and then manipulated the crystal to pass through the Crystal Ball in his hand, projecting it into the vastness inside the Star Realm Gate.

He furrowed his brows slightly.

Beyond the Star Realm Gate was the rampant space undercurrent; as soon as the spirit power crystal entered, it immediately suffered slight abrasion, the sensation like a file grinding against his head, causing his mind to sink slightly.

However, he quickly adapted, his perception moving along with the projected spirit power crystal, albeit in an extremely narrow range.

“An average sensing range of seven or eight meters in diameter, I can't see anything.”

“No point in trying to control it, it's too exhausting, and the abrasion will quicken and double; let it go with the flow.”

Ivan had tried exploring on his own before, but compared to the Great Sky River, the fluctuations of the Star Realm River were overwhelmingly aggressive, leaving him hardly any room to maneuver.

After a few attempts, he decided to let it do as it would.

Like Hotter had said, just try to bump into some luck; any findings were simply up to fate.

A few seconds later, Ivan's expression stiffened as a wave toppled the spirit power crystal, which then shattered completely, rendering all the effort vain.

Yet he didn't realize that this was just the beginning, and more torment awaited.

As time went on, one spirit power crystal after another was quickly extinguished; his expression turned completely dark, gaining nothing, not even a glimpse of a shadow.

The efficiency was not just low; there was essentially none at all.
