I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 80 - 80 076 Fierce Beast Nature_2

?Chapter 80: 076 Fierce Beast Nature_2 Chapter 80: 076 Fierce Beast Nature_2 ——”We need to find Mr. Liu as soon as possible. If he can summon these two wizards from the Mad Male Witch’s Hollow to kill himself, then he can call more. No, that sly old fox, I know him too well. He’s definitely going to spin the death of the rabbit-masked wizard to his advantage, turning our conflict into one between me and the Tree Hole Organization!”

——”Better to hide! Running around in the city center like this is practically suicidal. What if we run into a Witch-hunting Knight?”

It was as if countless voices were roaring inside.

Each roaring thought carried the fear of terrible consequences.

The fear was pervasive, as though it was about to ignite the flames of fear within Lin An himself.

The reason for the constant barrage of fear and frightened thoughts in his head was the dark gold spiritual essence from the rabbit-masked wizard, streaked with black lines, washing over his body.

Lin An could clearly feel the nature of this spiritual essence, which was fear taken to the extreme, ‘terror’.

According to what Chen Shuyun taught him before, the manifestation of fear leads to anger, and anger leads to stagnation. (Chapter 70)
Fear breeds anger, and because of fear, the fire of joy cannot be expressed; thus, terror accumulates in the heart and stagnates, repressed.

The fragments of the rabbit-masked wizard’s dark gold statue were simply not on the same level as the spiritual essence of the grey wolf ears of an ordinary person like Mr. Liu.

It carried extreme emotions, which stemmed from the past mental scars of the mad male witch.

As his body consumed these dark gold spiritual essences, terrible, twisted images assailed Lin An’s mind.

——”Stand up straight!” A single mother, with a distorted face, holding a bamboo stick, glared fiercely at a child covered in bruises, “It’s all because of you! Otherwise, why would I have to live such a hard life? Stand properly!”… The child swayed like a punching bag, his eyes blurry, mumbling, “Mommy, I can’t hold on any longer!”… But all he received was even more frenzied beating.

——”I should have just turned on the oven when I stuffed you in there. What was the point of taking you out, why on earth did I take you out, my brain must have been waterlogged at the time!” It was another scene of the mother beating him, merely because he was diligently doing his homework and didn’t respond immediately when she called him.

——”Wuu wuu wuu… I’m sorry… It’s all my fault!… I shouldn’t have taken out my frustrations on you…” Only when the mother was drunk would she drop her resentment against the world and be gentle again. The child found the trick; he worked odd jobs after school to buy his mother alcohol, drinking with her until he felt the whole world spinning, until everything seemed fragmented and chaotic.

——”…”

The spiritual essence of the rabbit-masked wizard, as well as each of his spells, bore the deep imprint of terror, a trace of his past sufferings, providing a powerful foundation for his transcendent powers.

Wizards rely on emotions to cast spells.

So it turned out to be such an operating method; all experiences, whether good or bad, deeply etched into memory, become the wizard’s most precious treasure.

The rabbit-masked wizard’s spiritual essence, along with the intense traces of his past, washed over Lin An’s will, but most of the content was so distorted that Lin An found it impossible to empathize.

The only thing he seemed to be able to empathize with was a small part of the memory of being drunk and dizzily spinning.

Because, the way he found to deal with the hallucinations he could see was to get himself drunk.

And it was this empathy that was the most intense point of spiritual essence washing over him.

Lin An could clearly feel a dark gold plaque appearing in his mind’s eye, with an image of a delicate young man swaying his body with his hand raised, and next to it were the words ‘Dizzy Witchcraft’.

This was an erosion!

Lin An was resisting this erosion, causing the image of the delicate young man on the plaque to fluctuate between fading and intensifying.

His active mind was constantly being eroded, and the only response he could muster was a terrifying roar.

“Roar~~~”
Lin An shook his head and stepped back, returning to the dark alley; his massive black cat body was huffing and puffing, saliva dripping from his sharp teeth.

His eyes in the alley shone as if they could emit light, filled with the madness and distortion of a predator choosing its prey.

Panting~
It seemed like…

he had caught the scent of the raccoon-masked wizard!

Lin An instinctively shook his body, stretching in a way similar to the ‘Spirit Cat Spinal Stretching Technique,’ ensuring every muscle was in prime condition.

Then, somewhat astonished, he found that he had unknowingly interrupted the ‘Sky Drifter Eyes’ after his resolve had been cleansed by the spiritual surge from the rabbit-masked Wizard.

Good, adjusting his status indeed was an excellent habit.

Lin An quickly reactivated his Innate Witchcraft ‘Sky Drifter Eyes,’ stepped out of the alley on sturdy paws, then suddenly retracted them. In an instant, he felt every hair on his body stand on end.

A cat’s fur bristling was a sign of sensing a threat.

But he didn’t need to sense it, for with his reactivated ‘Sky Drifter Eyes,’ he had already realized what he was up against.

In front of him on a building, a red light pervaded. Among the light, the pointed roofs of the old district’s houses seemed to morph into a mountain of stones. Atop the mountain stood an extremely tall figure.

Clad in heavy armor, leaning on an exaggerated saber, it looked like a statue.

That was…

Professor Cao!

It wasn’t just Professor Cao – within the field of vision of the ‘Sky Drifter Eyes,’ red worlds of light were slowly unfolding around him, as if trying to merge into one.

In each red light stood a towering Witch-hunting Knight!

The Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order!

Seven of them in total!

It was quite miraculous, Lin An should have been scared, should have been thinking of how to hide himself, but he wasn’t. At this moment, his chest surged with ferocious bestiality, following the instinct of a wild animal.

He just slowly stepped out of the dark alley, leaped onto the rooftop with the help of a wall, and coldly gazed at the Witch Hunter Knights surrounding him.

“Roar~~~”
It was the bestiality that he had always suppressed deep in his heart, never timorous, never compromising.

He couldn’t let the raccoon-masked wizard get caught by these Witch Hunter Knights; who knew if they could extract his own information from the wizard’s mouth!

And he definitely couldn’t let him slip away, which would not only give himself the chance to escape alone against the Witch Hunter Knights but also provide the opportunity for the wizard to disappear and reappear unexpectedly at any time.

With violent bestiality, the black cat’s body seemed to touch something, its dark gold flesh and blood suddenly accelerated their absorption, impacting the only synchronously empathetic ‘Dizzy Witchcraft’ dark gold badge first.

That badge instantly turned into sparkling particles and was absorbed by the body.

Then, it appeared again, a dark gold badge with a chain around the neck of Lin An’s black cat body.

The figure of the rabbit-masked wizard had been washed away, leaving only a few twisted and distorted large characters—Witchcraft: Dizziness.
