I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 132 - 132 124 Banyan tree and air root tree hole

?Chapter 132: 124 Banyan tree and air root tree hole Chapter 132: 124 Banyan tree and air root tree hole The Purgatory World was so unique; a five-story building from the real world manifested here as an equally large mound of yellow clay.

Amidst the howling gale, chunks of clay detached one by one, crashing to the ground and kicking up towering clouds of dust.

The building began to sway as well, revealing the massive stones embedded within, making the whole structure look ready to collapse.

The shot fired by Lin An was incredibly precise.

Under the ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’ vision, every detail about the entire building appeared in his mind, and with a shot that squarely hit the clay beneath a giant stone, the building thunderously toppled over.

In the direction he had anticipated.

Hundreds of tons of clay and rocks collapsed like a mountain landslide, barrelling towards the pit where the wizard Da Susu was located.

Boom!

The terrifying scene of the debris falling nearly made the entire ground shake.

Yet the battle here couldn’t even draw the attention of others, because with some wizards appearing in the Purgatory World, powerful witchcraft surged. Witch-hunting Knights charged like tampers, and the whole world was engulfed in whirling sandstorms.

Some high-rise buildings, transformed into mounds of yellow clay, also collapsed, making the entire world seem like a purgatory.

Ah, this was purgatory.

The perfect place to fish in troubled waters.

Lin An charged towards the rubble that had fallen on top of the pit where Da Susu, the wizard, lay, flicking his arm to release a red rope that danced in the air.

This was the only thing he had mastered that could be used to attack spiritual entities.

With agile steps, he bounded among the rubble and rocks, closing his eyes so as not to be disturbed by the flying sand, relying almost solely on his ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’ to analyze everything.

“Snap~”

The red rope in his hand suddenly struck the elbow joint of the dark gold statue floating above Da Susu, the wizard.

At that moment, the dark gold statue, smeared with black oil stains, was slowly raising its arm, which held a straw doll.

The red rope twisted and soon wrapped around the statue’s arm. Lin An pulled hard, using the leverage to vault himself onto the statue.

With his left hand, he wielded the bone knife he had taken from the warehouse, his expression cold and stern as he stabbed downward at the elbow of the dark gold statue.

Skinning Knife Skill!

Hold the knife, pierce, slice, retract!

Professor Cao’s knife skill lacked much finesse; it was all about using one’s own resolve to counter the emotional will of Sorcerer Zombies. When used by Lin An on a spiritual level, it proved just as effective.

“Hahaha…”

He laughed out loud, and as he laughed, he began to cry, whimpering and crying, growing more saddened and pained by the moment, until laughter burst forth once more.

Because he had sneakily shifted to a mindset of ‘pursuing thrills.’

Mindset changes don’t require ‘switching’; they are natural reactions of a person. The reason for the perception of a switch was, in truth, the spiritual influence of the ‘Rabbit-Eyed Wizard’ nibbling away at his psyche.

Then, things got interesting.

Using the spiritual essence of the ‘Rabbit-Eyed Wizard’ as a blade to cut through Da Susu’s spiritual essence, pitting their emotional wills against each other, Lin An would surely not lose with such a tactic.

Far from idle, he wrapped his legs around the dark gold statue’s forearm and madly swung the red rope, repeatedly whipping the statue’s elbow.

All of this happened so fast that the collapse of the entire mound of clay and stone finally ceased, the yellow sand dispersed by the wind became sparse, and Lin An had already fallen, clutching the dark gold statue’s forearm.

A dark gold statue’s spiritual forearm couldn’t provide much spiritual storage for Lin An.

Especially since the wizard practiced Dark Witchcraft, leaving black oily smears all over the statue, which made using the spiritual essence even more uncomfortable.

Yet, Lin An was particularly interested in the straw doll grasped by the statue’s hand.

This type of visualization on a spiritual plane almost clearly told him that this was some form of witchcraft from Da Susu.

And based on information previously encountered, Lin An could even guess the exact nature of this witchcraft—it was the ‘Life-Exchange Straw Doll’ Sorcery! (Chapter 99)

Lin An desperately needed such witchcraft.

Although consuming this witchcraft was exceedingly difficult, and he hadn’t yet assimilated the ‘Dizzy’ Sorcery he had seized before, but oh…

Da Susu had suddenly appeared before him so unexpectedly!

So unprepared.

It was so convenient, just in the direction Lin An had aimed with his Breathing Skill handgun.

He couldn’t help but pull the trigger.

So, having taken action, he intended to follow through to the end!

Lin An wasn’t someone to dawdle; channeling spiritual energy to enhance brain function, his mind rapidly ran cost-benefit analyses for him.

To hell with hesitations!

Ultimately, the ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’ were incredibly handy, and the enhancements to the body from the Spiritual Cat Bow Spinal Stretching Technique and the Fear-style Softening Skill, along with the instinctual benefits gained from the Black Cat, proved exceptionally useful.

Seize the moment to strike, and strike to kill!

Lin An clutched the dark gold statue’s forearm holding the straw doll as he fell from mid-air. The dark gold forelimb seemed to lose connection with the spiritual statue and burrowed crazily into Lin An’s skin.

Pain!

The sting was so excruciating.

And the flesh of the dark gold statue tainted with the black oily substance voraciously aggravated Lin An’s spirit.

“Boom~”

The ground beneath suddenly bulged, forming a massive bump that arched the entire mound of five-story building rubble upward, which then exploded instantly.

Lin An was flung outwards by the blast and, despite the agony, he had to make use of his nimble body to twist and maneuver through the spattering cascade of stones and dirt.

In a huge crater that appeared on the ground, Da Susu, the wizard, wailed as he grasped his right forearm. He could still feel his own arm, but for some reason, he felt indescribably pained.

Was this some kind of curse?

The Witch-hunting Knight had updated their attack methods again?

He didn’t know, all he felt was intense anger. Right now, his body was covered in blood, wounds scattered all over him.

He wanted to launch the ‘Death Puppet’ spell but was stunned by a heavy blow to the head, abruptly interrupting his witchcraft. This meant that he had nearly just died amidst the wreckage of the building!

“I will have your life!”

He watched from afar as Lin An, tossed through the air in the explosion, finally crashed to the ground.

After all, he was a powerful Wizard, master of many terrifying and incredibly potent witchcraft spells.

If this one wasn’t suitable, he’d switch to another.

And this guy in front of him, merely an apprentice knight who hadn’t even forged his Furnace?

He was wounded by such an ant?

What a joke!

His anger grew more intense, his hands raised high, and the ground trembled instantly.

Then…

There was no then.

A huge, burly figure crashed down from the sky, an enormous axe cleaving from his head to his right foot, splitting him in two.

Heh~

An ambush?

Fine, this was a good opportunity to slip away. Watch my ‘Death Puppet’ witchcraft!

Huh?

Did my spell fail to take effect?

This was the last doubt that Da Susu had before his death, his eyes wide with disbelief.

This trump card, on which he had placed so much security, the witchcraft for which he had prepared and sacrificed so much, had suddenly failed?

Splat~

His body split and fell to either side, blood spurting.

“Heh~” the Witch-hunting Knight holding the huge axe turned to Lin An, “Not bad, I’m starting to like you, kid.”

He seemed to want to say something else but suddenly looked upward.

His eyes narrowed, his tone grave, “The kapok tree…”

“The kapok tree?” Lin An, stifling the pain of the dark gold arm entering his body, struggled to his feet and looked up as well.

He saw a huge tree suddenly appear in the center of the red Purgatory World. The brown trunk and branches stretched out, covered with large red flowers.

As the tree appeared, a giant banyan tree phantom suddenly emerged in the sky, as if intending to cover the entire Purgatory World.

The banyan’s countless aerial roots hung down, piercing deeply into the earthen ground of the Purgatory World, shaping into various tree hollows around the Wizards.

The Wizards hurried into the tree hollows, instantly vanishing from sight.

This…

Was what the boss had told Lin An, that in the Supernatural World, organizations needed the protection of powerful beings to truly be considered organizations. Without such protection, an organization could be destroyed overnight.

“Get out of here, this isn’t for you to meddle in anymore!” the Witch-hunting Knight said to Lin An before hastening toward the central kapok tree with his axe raised.

Lin An smacked his lips and narrowed his eyes, leaving behind just a trace of daylight.

Then, his view rapidly shifted above the kapok tree.

Without Ugly Head, he tapped into his spirituality to enhance the display of his ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’.

In an instant, all the Witch-hunting Knights charging towards the kapok tree saw a dark gold eye appearing above it, mocking them with its gaze.

With a swoop, the banyan’s aerial roots engulfed the kapok tree as well, morphing it into an even larger hollow.

In an instant, the huge banyan began to fade away.

“This tree is trying to take all the Wizards and escape, attack the giant banyan!”

Rabbit-Eyed Demon Hunter Feng Xin cried out in urgency, “Hurry, interrupt it, this is a ritual magic!”

Nonsense, all present were battle-hardened Witch-hunting Knights, of course, they knew.

But unfortunately, this potent mini witchcraft seemed very high-end and strong, dissipating too quickly.

In a short while, it became completely transparent, vanishing without a trace.

And that Eyeball Witch Monster appeared to have also lost all trace.

The kapok tree has cultivated to the verge of becoming a Witch Monster? An eyeball!” an Antler Witch Hunter Knight exclaimed.

Boom~

A monstrous slash cleaved through the air, it was unclear when Professor Cao had swung his blade, revealing its influence only at the last moment.

With the roar of the sweeping blade energy, a section of the banyan reappeared, falling to the Purgatory World.

Several Wizards fell from the hollow roots of this banyan section, frantically trying to flee.

The other Witch-hunting Knights quickly surrounded them.

Professor Cao looked up at the original position of the banyan tree, “Search the entire city, the Wizards taking the form of trees aren’t likely to have gone far, investigate!”

Unnoticed, in a distant corner, Lin An swallowed hard, his mouth agape in shock, and then exclaimed with a thrill.

Just now!

It was just now!

His transformed eyeball was almost split by Mr. Cao’s blade!
