The Wizard World - Chapter 285

Chapter 285
‘I wonder what happened to Stigma . Is his progress faster than mine with the help of Arisma?’ Angele suddenly questioned . He was not worried about himself at all . According to the simulation, the chances of him successfully advancing to the Crystal stage was over 90% .
‘I don’t think so . That kid fits Arisma’s system perfectly . If everything goes through as they planned, he’ll start preparing to advance to the Crystal stage soon,’ Henn responded .
‘Well, I think I should focus on my own progression more . ’ Angele took a deep breath and walked to the cylinder . He put both hands on top of the cylinder and started meditating .
‘First, you need to remove the impurities from your mentality and use the jade cylinder to increase your mentality to a certain level . Second, you should consume all the needed materials you collected and compress your mentality . You’re on your own now,’ Henn advised in a light tone .
‘I understand,’ Angele responded .
The glowing crystals on the walls faded as soon as they finished their conversation . The whole room sank into darkness .
*CHI*
The cylinder produced slight noises .
Rays of green light were released from the top of the jade cylinder .
The green light leaked out of the gaps between Angele’s finger and illuminated on the ceiling .
The whole living room looked horrifying .
*CHI*
Most of the green light disappeared except for the one on Angele’s forehead .
The green light created a tunnel that connected Angele to the jade cylinder .
Small white light particles were floating in the light tunnel, they were coming out of Angele’s forehead, and the particles were quickly absorbed by the jade cylinder .
Angele remained in that position as he slowly fell into slumber .
*****************************
One month later…
Inside the living room, thick white dust covered the jade cylinder, the floor, and Angele’s body .
The number of white light particles coming out of his forehead was reducing .
After about two hours later .
There were no longer any white light particles in the green light .
Angele suddenly opened his eyes and stumbled two steps back .
His body had become weak, and his cheeks had become thin . There was almost no soul in his eyes . Angele trembled for several seconds and almost fell to the ground .
‘Wait…What happened to me?’ Angele became flabbergasted when he felt he was too weak now .
‘There are too many impurities in your mentality . Removing impurities is the same as consuming your mentality . You haven’t eaten anything for a month . Go to the second floor and start the next step now,’ Henn responded in a strange tone .
‘One month? What? Why didn’t you wake me up?’ Angele was speechless . Zero was not able to wake him from such a state .
‘Well, I wanted to know what you look like when you’re weak, ha . It’s quite…interesting . ’ Henn chuckled .
‘Happy now?’ Angele turned around . With the help of the railings, he slowly walked upstairs . ‘Our souls are connected, so you will die if anything happens to me . Make your decisions wisely . ’
‘Nothing will happen . You’re weak now but you still have me . ’ Henn was not concerned .
Angele rubbed his temples and entered the potions room on the second floor .
Three special materials were lined on a large table, which had been prepared before the advancement had started .
‘Different wizards need different materials for the ritual . They’re selected because they fit the properties of your mentality . I can’t help you in this step . You need to figure out how to make the most out of these materials,’ Henn advised .
Angele nodded and looked at the table .
Each of the materials was covered by a red cage .
The cages were formed by red electric pulses .
The electric bars were flashing and sparking .
The noises made by the electricity were quite annoying .
Angele raised his hand and reached for the first cage .


*CHI*
Suddenly, the red electric pulses turned into a red rune and disappeared into the air, revealing the item stored in the cage .
It was a white egg with an appearance identical to a chicken egg .
Angele grabbed the egg, knocking it on the table several times .
He removed the eggshell slowly and looked at it .
Inside the egg was some light-yellow substance that had the texture of a banana . There was no egg yolk or egg white .
Furthermore, the yellow substance smelled exactly like a banana . The intense fragrance rushed into Angele’s nose .
He remained calm and removed all the shells . What was left was a piece of yellow flesh .

Angele tapped on the flesh with the index finger of his right hand .
The yellow flesh was ignited right away, and the yellow flames crackled in the area around him .
Angele narrowed his eyes .
He grabbed the flesh and threw it into his mouth . He chewed the flesh several times and swallowed it .
Intense pain began to ravage from within his mouth . Angele struggled several seconds, and it felt like swallowing a piping hot iron . The burning flesh’s temperature was high, and it was sizzling in his stomach .
Angele opened his mouth .
*CHI*
White smoke began to seep out of his throat .
His mouth was completely black, and it smelled like burnt barbeque meat .
Angele quickly grabbed the second item .
It was an old book with a star sign as the only thing on its cover and it was quite heavy .


Angele opened the book slowly, but he only found a single page .
In the center of the page, there was a dried-up fairy, flat like a piece of paper, surrounded by distorted energy waves .
The fairy was thin, and its eyes gray . It had no mouth or nose; its ears were long and sharp . The fairy’s dried-up body was trapped in a web of tree roots and the roots covered the whole page .
The dried fairy’s arms were stretched outward making it look like a ‘Y’ character .
"The book of savior, please tell me your wish . " Angele’s voice had become hoarse and deep due to the burnt, but he was speaking in the ancient language .
White glows surrounded the fairy’s eyes after Angele finished the incantation .
Strings of white light rushed out of its eyes and flew into Angele’s burnt mouth .
The dried-up fairy on the paper started struggling once Angele began to absorb the white light . The fairy slowly stood up and the roots were being destroyed one by one . It looked like the web was the only thing restricting the fairy’s power .
‘Hurry! Close the book!’ Henn’s voice interrupted, sounding nervous .
Angele was surprised . He tried to grab the book immediately .
*CHI*
The seemingly infinite white electric pulses were jumping out of the book and they were trying to block Angele’s hands .
The force was pushing Angele’s hands back slowly .
"Ha…"
The fairy raised his head and stared at Angele . The web that was stopping it from moving was almost destroyed .
The white electric pulses almost blinded his eyes .
Angele’s face was twitching, he used all the strength he had but his body was just too weak .
‘Damn! What should I do now?! Don’t tell me…’
‘You have to do it! That’s the only choice you have left . Hurry! I’ll buy you some time!’ Henn was almost shouting .


‘I…!’ Angele watched the fairy standing up . He narrowed his eyes .
‘Do it! Right now! You chose to use the level-3 cursed book . You should know the consequences! No one knows what’s going to happen if the fairy gets freed!’
Angele blinked his eyes and made the decision .
‘Alright!’
He took a deep breath and inhaled all the light into his mouth . His mouth had already recovered from the injury and returned to its original color .
‘Ready…go!’ Henn yelled .
*PA*
Angele reached toward the book and grabbed the fairy . His fingers started melting and a sour smell permeated the air .
He had no time to think so he threw the fairy into his mouth before it could realize what had just happened .
However, the fairy started moving in his mouth right away . Angele chewed it into pieces and swallowed everything . It tasted like a rotten orange .
*BOOM*
The book on the table suddenly set ablaze .
The book disintegrated in the red flames and turned into a small pile of white ash .
‘Well, I guess everything is edible on this land . ’ Angele looked at the table and pursed his lips .
‘It’s just you . Your bloodline is complicated . I can see the harpy blood but it’s different . It’s something I don’t really understand . Your stomach is stronger than most mutated beasts in this world . There’s also a strong energy wave helping your digestive system…’ Henn explained . ‘You can use the last material to…repair your body, I think . ’
‘I thought you were joking when you asked me to swallow it if things went south…’ Angele recalled the moment that the fairy was still moving in his mouth . It truly was an unpleasant experience for him .
‘You succeeded in the end . That’s all that matters,’ Henn stopped for a second and continued, ‘So…how does it feel? You’re a Crystal stage wizard now . ’
Angele spat out a brown root from the web and there was a blank expression on his face .
‘I want to vomit . ’
