Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 272 - Decisive

Chapter 272 -272 Decisive

“Deals were taking place in the dark, but the outside world painted a different picture.”

Listening to the Witch’s calm and somber recounting, Tang Qi nodded solemnly, agreeing to her entrustment.

After receiving Tang Qi’s promise, the Witch’s face finally showed a bright smile.

Before closing her eyes, she handed a colorful wooden box to Tang Qi, slowly saying, “The contents of this box can answer all your doubts.”

As her words fell, the Witch called “Elena” carried her last smile and closed her eyes.

She died!

Together with the other two, they turned into light points and dissipated in the living room of Sally’s house.

Not long ago, the living room, which had been messy and foul-smelling, now regained tranquility.

If it weren’t for the wooden box in Tang Qi’s hands and the black wizard robe nearby on the floor, Sally and her mother might have thought this was all a dream.

However, it clearly wasn’t.

From the recent changes in Sally’s mother, it was evident she had met the three witches, including Elena, and perhaps through some transcendent means reunited with the Witch Leader.

More than a decade ago, it was she who stepped in to help Sally seal the Doomsday Magic.

The events that just happened, the horrific Skin Stripping Monster, the Black Wizard, and the spine-chilling Black Goo Man, all verified the witches’ words.

Sally might just be the “Daughter of Destiny” spoken of by the witches.

According to the witches, once the Witch Leader falls, Sally’s existence would become visible to all the “Cursed Monsters.”

The Black Goo Man, exhibiting strange powers, was just one of them.

Even the Harmon family and the Immortal Council were among those Cursed Monsters.

What choice was there?

It seemed there was only one.

To go to the so-called Land of Termination, meet the Witch Leader, and seek a solution to end all this.

“Tang Qi!”

Sally’s magic power was gradually recovering, the blush on her face not completely gone, but her eyes filled with astonishment and doubt.

The girl, because of contact with Tang Qi, saw another world for the first time.

And due to the secondary personality and Doomsday Magic within her, was taught the “Word Spirit Spell” by Tang Qi.

Just as prophesied, Sally regarded Tang Qi as her mentor.

In many dreams, she dreamt of going on various magical adventures with her mentor, as fascinating and exciting as depicted in those romantic fantasy novels and movies.

Now, the dream had become a reality, and Sally felt a trace of panic.

Because she had to face a cruel truth!

According to the arrangement of the witches, Tang Qi, the young Son of the Melting Furnace, would escort Sally, the “Daughter of Destiny,” to the Land of Termination.

This meant that Sally had to part from her mother.

In the girl’s life of more than a decade, such a thing had never happened.

Almost immediately, her eyes welled up with tears, and upon Tang Qi nodding, confirming her inner thoughts, she instantly hugged her significantly overweight mother tightly.

The scene was both bizarre and warmly sorrowful.

Tang Qi didn’t say anything, quietly walking away, leaving a moment of time and space for the soon-to-be-separated mother and daughter.

While walking, Tang Qi’s gaze fell on the wooden box in his hands.

It seemed like an antique, filled with the Gypsy’s passionate yet mysterious style.

However, it was no Curio.

Tang Qi did not open it immediately, instead, he contemplated the entire matter in his mind, reviewing the whole situation once more.

“Let’s not mention the so-called prophecy for now, the Witch Leader began searching for the Daughter of Destiny over a decade ago, and she has many allies, including numerous cursed monsters, and some of those families from the Immortal Council.”

“Are these monsters seeking the Daughter of Destiny to lift the curse?”

“Then what exactly is the curse?”

“Was Doomsday Magic choosing Sally as its host random? Or because she is the Daughter of Destiny?”

…

Tang Qi realizes that the information he holds is clearly not sufficient, and as he starts to speculate, a thick fog of ambiguity arises, preventing him from discerning the truth.

At this moment, his Special Ability is also unable to exert much influence.

However, there are some facts that Tang Qi can ascertain beforehand.

For instance, the unforeseen disaster that befell Sally and him, suddenly having to face formidable enemies, and apparently a large group of them.

Those Black Goo Men who can stir desires and devour Life Force belong to a family, and that family is part of the so-called “Immortal Council,” which, in turn, is just a fraction of the numerous cursed monsters.

Tang Qi can almost visualize, if what the three witches said is true, how perilous it would be for Sally once the intervention of the Witch Group ceases.

Sally would then be vulnerably exposed to these monsters, and by then, Lucky Body, Curse of Misfortune, Word Spirit Spell… these might all be insufficient to preserve Sally’s life.

Tang Qi decides to escort Sally away, not just because of the imminent danger surrounding her.

There is another reason that isn’t exactly a reason, although their acquaintance was brief.

But Tang Qi does not believe the “Witch Group” is entirely from the Good Camp; even if they truly are, they are not without their own agendas.

Given that the three witches, Elena included, knew of their impending deaths yet were willing to come, it unquestionably demonstrates that the Witch Group was aware of Tang Qi’s existence and also knew of his identity as a Melter Wizard.

Tang Qi suspects that had he reacted differently, it probably wouldn’t be long before the news that the Melter Wizard lineage has reappeared on Blue Star would spread across the entire Transcendent World of the Federation.

Along with that, might even circulate Tang Qi’s high-resolution picture.

Based on these considerations, Tang Qi quickly reaches a decision.

He opts not to disturb Sally and her mother but plans to give them one more day.

This time would be sufficient for Tang Qi to handle some matters in Messer City.

After all, he has “operated” in Messer City for a while and has substantial experience; some resources need to be properly managed.

Such as his real estate!

Or, his consulting position at the police station!

Thinking of this, Tang Qi suddenly remembers Stanna, whom he had parted ways with not long ago.

“Buzz”

He looks up, just in time to see the window of Sally’s house’s living room; the night had unknowingly dissolved, replaced by the slowly rising sun.

Night had passed.

If nothing unexpected happened, Stanna should have left Messer City by now, heading to Secret Phoenix City, the most crucial and prominent city in Secret Phoenix State, a significant presence throughout the entire Federation.

Though they had just bid farewell, it turns out they would be leaving Messer City one after the other.

And Tang Qi thinks, since he has left Messer City, he probably won’t return anytime soon.

Given the chance, after resolving the crisis, Tang Qi might also choose Secret Phoenix City as his next destination.

“It seems, my intuition was right once again.”

Tang Qi suddenly said.
