Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy Chapter 597

Chapter 597: Chapter 595: Wait for an opportunity to act

The tranquility at the prison location was shortly disrupted; a Vine Serpent suddenly broke through the dense black clouds, exceptionally ferocious in its manner, and in an instant forcefully breached the Thunder and Lightning Net's blockade, charging towards the heartland.

“Enemy attack!”

“Not good, there are other Void King Wizards; everyone, follow my lead and strike swiftly to stop him. We absolutely cannot let him abduct the prisoners inside.”

As the Vine Serpent with its clear scales and horns approached, the Ancient King guardians stationed inside finally reacted.

Once they clearly saw the true appearance of the unwelcome visitor, each of them faced the threat as if facing a great enemy, since none present were strangers to the might of the Void King Wizard. Every encounter ended with them being suppressed in battle, inspiring extreme irritation.

Fortunately, there was only one enemy, and perhaps they could handle it.

“All of you in the way, clear off for me!”

The Vine Serpent had a Nine-layered Breeze Tower suspended above its head, serving both as a protective device and bringing with it an unparalleled offensive enhancement. With every charge, claw swipe, and tail flick, an Ancient King was blasted away.

Such overwhelming ferocity was, for the time being, unstoppable by anyone!

Seeing Hardy's momentum so fierce, the Ancient King guardians relentlessly attacked in succession, aiming to delay the attack. This action, however, left other defensive areas completely unguarded.

“Could it be that there is no Extreme Ancestor guarding this place?”

A distance away, Ivan still refrained from taking any rash actions.

No sooner had this thought occurred to him than he saw new figures emerging, causing his pupils to contract–the situation was indeed not so straightforward.

“Hold your insolence!” The newly appeared figure charged at Hardy.

“So it is you who dares to be so brash; it turns out you're nothing but a pretender. Now watch how this sorcerer will deal with you.”

Hardy fixed his gaze and saw a giant turtle of mixed appearance, with a turtle head, tree bark, phoenix wings, and blood claws, an absolute hybrid, definitely forged by the power of the Extreme Ancestor.

Such a creature was no different from a living creature puppet and certainly wasn't regarded by him.

Ivan heard these words and understood; they were meant for him to hear. Hardy was indicating that there was no need to worry about that side, and it was time to take action.

Seeing this, Ivan harbored no doubts, immediately revealing himself and charging through another side into the circle of black clouds, selecting a position behind Hardy.

The enemy was blocked by Hardy on the other side.

Bearing the Black Soul Tower, Ivan just as easily broke through the Thunder and Lightning Net's resistance and landed on the circular plaza.

He could clearly see that inside the plaza, there was a ring of sturdy city walls connected to the great hall, and dense patterns were inscribed outside these walls, with blood-colored stone pillars erected upon them.

These pillars were not as tall as those inside the great hall.

Without a doubt, there was a significant connection between the trap Formation that constituted the prison and these blood-colored pillars, as well as with the patterns on the great hall and city walls.

“We've been tricked! They have another Void King Wizard.” Ivan's arrival caused a commotion.

“Stay here, all of you.”

How could Hardy allow others to pass by? With a reach of his dragon claw, a solid monument appeared before him. After the Wise Man's Monument emerged, it rapidly enlarged, and together with the equally growing Nine-layered Breeze Tower, it brutally smashed towards the individuals trying to slip past.

The hybrid giant turtle was the first to confront.

It never expected that this wizard would carry two sacred artifacts and also viciously chose to ambush. The turtle was shattered by the sudden assault of the Wise Man's Monument.

The potency of the sacred artifacts was evident.

Ivan secretly praised himself, but his gaze was fixed tightly on the city wall. The opportunity was fleeting, he had to breach the tightly guarded Formation at his quickest speed.

“Give it all!”

He dare not underestimate the task at hand and decisively took out another treasure–the Soul Fire Furnace, which floated on his side alongside the Black Soul Tower, like two loyal guards.

The Soul Fire Furnace contained high-energy flames that were virtually inexhaustible.

The Black Soul Tower, on the other hand, was a rare gem related to the soul, with unpredictable Soul Power transformations. This feature was fully exemplified in the Black Soul Tower, which brought him numerous enhancements in soul power, and was also a defensive weapon.

Boosted by the two treasures, the ominously red flames intertwined with the dark red tendrils, which reached forward, enveloping them in flames, only to be blocked by a protective barrier around the city wall.

“Hiss-”

After ascending to the status of Void King Wizard, the flames Ivan commanded turned into a kind of soul fire, which had extremely strong erosive properties, best described as “nothing it couldn't permeate, nothing it couldn't burn.”

Combined with the abilities of the Star Soul Hand, it was more practical than any magic artifact for breaking Formations.

Sure enough, the protective shield immediately started making sizzling noises as it got scorched, ugly black spots appearing on it, and under such an attack, the shield continuously transformed.

However, this was not a challenge for Ivan, who was always immersed in the exploration of Formations; the tendrils extended by the King Worm also kept changing.

Soon, the spots expanded, connecting to each other, melting a dark breach into the shield; large scorched marks appeared across the city wall patterns.

With a thunderous explosion, the ironstones that built the city wall shattered into pieces.

Seizing the opportunity, Ivan stepped forward to the breach in the wall, his tendrils with the black flame spread along the wall, precisely wrapping around three nearby blood-red pillars.

“Ivan, do you need help?”

“Not for now.”

At this moment, a figure flashed behind him, actually Hardy in the form of a green dragon transformed by a wizard. As someone else came around from the other side to cause trouble, Hardy had to come forward to intercept, ensuring Ivan was not disturbed.

After single-handedly defeating the four-legged giant turtle, Hardy found dealing with the remaining people quite easy, still having the spare energy to assist Ivan.

It must be said that the treasures of the clan gave both of them significant support.

While Ivan was busy breaking through the tight Formation, the two Void Kings suffering in their imprisonment sensed the unusual disturbance; the King of the Long Sky was the first to react.

“Galif, listen, someone is breaking the Formation, someone has come to rescue us.”

“Are you sure you're not mistaken, Galif? Could it be that traitor's trap?”

Unlike the King of the Long Sky, who was still in good Spirit, the Dragon Flame King–transformed into a dragon with fiery wings–appeared listless. He had been imprisoned the longest and endured the most torture, the fact that he held on till now was thanks to the King of the Long Sky's assistance.

“It can't be wrong. Back when communications were still open, Gena and I discussed a plan. It seems the plan has succeeded.”

“A plan? You never mentioned it.”

“Let's go, the commotion is the biggest here. The beings from the primeval beast plane are tough to deal with; their time must be very tight. We also can't just wait here doing nothing. Whether we can break free now all comes down to this moment. Perk up.”

The King of the Long Sky, transformed into the Wind King Steed, let out a breath, and a breeze stirred, pulling along both the Wind King Steed and the dragon with fiery wings towards one side, where the protective layer was trembling slightly.

The dragon with fiery wings struggled to muster energy, attacking the protective layer alongside the Wind King Steed.

Both of them wielded magic artifacts, smashing against the layer above, the booming sounds echoing in the enclosed space.

Under this concerted assault from within and without, the protective layer oscillated even more, and black shadows began to emerge, all the more invigorating the two of them trapped inside.
