Lord of Mysterious Wizard

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Character Collapse

“Could it be, reaching right up to my doorstep?”

Tang Qi really wanted to say this, but the place where the Claw Demons were dug up was actually still a distance away from his brick and stone building.

However, it was completely within Tang Qi’s line of sight.

For instance, at this moment, when the Claw Demons triggered a Forbidden Technique attached to the object they dug up with their lives, the pit started to tremble thunderously, as if something was slowly appearing from below.

A sculpture!

It was cast from unknown materials, looking like iron and also like some kind of stone.

The sculpture however, depicted a robust warrior clad in full Armor, appearing heavy and durable. The eye section had strong protection; he stood erect, hands together gripping an exaggeratedly styled great sword.

The tip of the sword pointed directly at the earth, resting a dark “stone” upon the base.

“Its original form, a powerful warrior!”

Anyone, upon first glance at this statue, would involuntarily have this thought arise in their hearts.

Undoubtedly, this was a sculpture of a powerful warrior.

As it slowly emerged from the deep earth, dirt trickling down, a cold, solemn aura surged out, almost as if it were coming to life.

However, it was just an illusion.

There was no ghost light flickering in the depths of Tang Qi’s eyes.

“This is not even a Curio?”

Surprise and confusion immediately appeared on Tang Qi’s face.

The “Treasure” that the Claw Demons dug up from the ground wasn’t even a Curio.

If it weren’t witnessed with his own eyes, Tang Qi would definitely not believe it.

Even using the excuse, “Originally a Curio, but its power has been depleted,” would be far-fetched and implausible no matter how it’s argued.

“Buzz”

While puzzled and continuing to look, his gaze fell upon the stone held against the sword tip.

An intense ghost light, finally overflowing in Tang Qi’s eyes at this moment.

[Curio: Sealing Stone.]

[State: Intact.]

[Information Fragment One: This is a Sealing Gem, personally used by a powerful warrior to seal a mighty Monster within it.]

[Information Fragment Two: This Monster possesses abilities that could rival the Devil’s, and is also extremely dangerous; Decryption method: Smear with Extraordinary Blood and form a Wish Contract with it.]

[Information Fragment Three: Unsealing this Monster will entail unknown and formidable risks.]

…

“Wish Contract?”

That it was a Sealing Gem did not surprise Tang Qi.

According to legend, the Confessor had defeated numerous demons throughout his life, including even Evil Gods from the Exotic Realm and other sinister, powerful entities. The Confessor, being a benevolent strong warrior, sealed most of the demons he defeated.

If they could dispel their evil and change Camp, then they might escape their confines.

If they could not, they would only die of old age within the Sealing.

Clearly, what the Claw Demons dug up was not a treasure of Lord Confessor, but one of his Sealings.

The sealed entity was a Monster that could grant wishes.

“Wish Contract: The Monster may fulfill several of your wishes, but you must free it, and the specific terms, to be negotiated by both parties.”

In fact, many Monsters can promise wishes.

But undoubtedly, almost all have traps.

Once provoked, there rarely is a good end.

The second generation still in evolution, of course, would not know these.

When they saw the statue and the “gemstone” held at sword point, their eyes lit up in unison. Leaving behind the high school students who were extremely excited, the second generation showed speed surpassing professional athletes and appeared under that sculpture.

Leading them, Angela naturally took out the gemstone under the sword point.

They seemed to have received some assurance, knowing that the power of the Confessor in the campus could not harm them, which made them somewhat unrestrained.

“Whoosh”

With the gemstone in hand, Angela gently wiped it, removing a layer of black ash, and a gemstone as red as flames and about half a palm size appeared.

“Hum”

A dazzling light burst forth immediately.

A group of flames and smoke, slowly overflowed from the gemstone and eventually condensed into a monster with only the upper body in the air; its body entirely made of fiery smoke, intense yet seemingly nonexistent, with two red eyes conveying unsettling evilness.

It was completely confined to the gemstone in its lower half.

As soon as it appeared, it neither laughed wildly nor lost composure to kill; its gaze seemed entirely focused on Angela.

The smoke suddenly tumbled, and soon, an incredibly handsome man, as if existing only in myths, appeared in front of Angela.

That flawless face leaned in, elegantly smiling and gently said, “Beautiful lady, you are as beautiful as the violet moon in the sky. You may ask three wishes of me, and I will try my utmost to fulfill them for you.”

“Wait a minute, Angela, this isn’t what we were looking for…”

“Shut Up!”

Ryan’s rebuttal was not yet finished when Angela suddenly turned around, her charming face full of icy colors.

The momentum between the two was completely dominated by Angela.

She turned her head with a bright smile and lightly asked, “Oh, don’t you need any conditions, like… letting you out?”

“No, there’s no need, I am willing to become your collection, and if you wish, you can craft a crown and I will become the most dazzling gemstone on it.”

The man’s words were filled with indescribable temptation.

Angela seemed to really let down her guard because of this, or rather, she just wanted to take advantage and then talk.

She seemed to have thought out her wishes long ago and continued, “Very well, I want eternal youth, perfect evolution, and wealth to rival nations.”

Besides perfect evolution, the other two were common and utterly mundane wishes.

The man seemed to have predicted all this already.

He still maintained a perfect smile and said, “Beautiful lady, as you wish.”

After saying that, he extended a hand as if wanting to snap his fingers to grant Angela’s three wishes.

This scene was like the worst movie plot.

However, Tang Qi, still did not intervene.

Obviously, the second generation hadn’t found the seal that the club had required them to find but dug out a “demon” capable of entering into a wish contract, which was a mistake for the other second-generation members, but an unexpected surprise for Angela.

Before that snap was made, an old yet cunning voice, seeming to come from an incredibly distant world, suddenly sounded.

“No, she cannot get her wish.”

“Crack”

Without warning, as that old voice fell, a crack immediately formed in the gemstone held by Angela.

But to the demon desperate to escape, it seemed like a disaster of catastrophic proportions.

The man’s face changed, twisted and mutated, and immediately reverted to its original form, then he desperately started pleading, struggling, “No, Sims you can’t do this, I have repented, truly, I have repented, spare me…”

Its struggle was futile, and it was quickly pulled back into the gemstone by an invisible force.

Then the gemstone turned into a streak of red light, instantly leaving Angela’s palm, flying into the air and with a “bang”, turned into a brilliant burst of fireworks, suddenly blooming.

Below, the second-generation members, stood stunned.

Inside the brick building, Tang Qi was also stunned; he felt that the character he had set up in his mind for a “great person” suddenly collapsed at this moment.
