Chapter 720 – Responding Inside and Outside

Chapter 720: The Inside Calling Out
“The Tree of Inversion, Beth, and the sneak attack he said Shia made. I remember that Shia was already controlled by the Inverted Tree when I left, but he still seems to have his own consciousness. Could it be that his consciousness affected the Inverted Tree.”

This Shia sorcerer was really something, although he had severe paranoia of being victimized, his strength was really unfathomable.

An Inverted Tree, a second-order sorcerer, was actually victimized by him and lost control.

Of course, it wasn’t certain if things were really as Yona said.

It wasn’t that Yonah would lie, but everything he knew might be inaccurate as well.

But now at the very least, it was known that something had gone wrong with the state of the Inverted Tree, and the Baidon Academy was clearly planning something in an extreme way.

“Those who were penetrated by the roots of the tree were sealed in beeswax-like resin. What happened after that, and why is the entire city in ruins? Why do the people in the outer city still live as they did before? Do they know what happened in the inner city?”

Jonah smiled miserably, “I don’t know the rest. I-I’m looking for ……”

He was suddenly a bit confused, as if he couldn’t figure out where he was now and what he was doing.

“Brother Saul, he’s waking up.” Penny reminded Saul.

Saul understood that if he let Jonah realize that his real body had turned into a stump, he feared that he would immediately realize that it was now a dream.

Saul immediately asked, “Since you saw what happened to those people, do you know what Dean has to do subsequently? I heard you say that Dean complained that the cocoon wasn’t enough, was he the one who killed the rest of the people in the inner city? Where are Beth, Dean, and those who turned into cocoons now?”

Saul’s long list of questions left Jonah a little dumbfounded as he stared blankly at Saul.

Just when Saul thought his brain was at full capacity, Jonah suddenly grabbed Saul’s arm with such force that he almost twisted his arm.

“You won’t be able to find them. They are no longer in this world.”

Saul let Jonah grip his arm tightly, like a drowning person grasping for the only straw to save his life.

“So …… where are they?” Saul asked softly.

“They’re in …… you can’t find them …… huh huh ……” Jonah suddenly laughed wryly. “I remember, at the last moment when the big tree disappeared, I sacrificed my self’s limbs and some of my organs and managed to get out of the beeswax. I remember.”

He slowly let go of Sol’s arm, his face looking like he was crying, “But I also lost the most important thing of all. I have to get it back before I can.”

The picture around Saul began to fade, as if someone was adjusting the pixels of the world in his eyes.

The squareness grew heavier and heavier.

The world was also becoming more and more false.

The dream began to crumble.

The blocks that make up the dream world are crumbling and pouring.

Along with the room peeling away was Jonah’s intact and healthy outer skin.

As the flesh-colored and black grains of the blocks peeled away from Jonah’s body, what was revealed inside was not the mutilated human body Saul had seen in the outside world.

Instead, it was a mass of silhouettes made of ash.

“We should go, Brother Saul.” Penny’s voice became serious as well, “We have to get out of here before we wake up from our dream or the way out will become a woolly maze.”

Though Thor still had a few unanswered questions, he could only nod.

In the world of dreams, third-ranked wizards were unable to utilize the magic power of the outside world.

This was because there was only spiritual power here, not magical power.

Two silver wings suddenly drilled out behind Saul.

The wings snapped, and the entire world began to fly backwards.

The gray people in front of them quickly moved away.

The world gradually dimmed and brightened in a flash.

Only this brightness was also tinged with obscurity.

Thor opened his eyes and saw the prostrate Yonah wizard before him curled up on the ground like a baby.

Head to the right resting on his fingerless arm, thighs that had lost their calves curled inward as best they could.

Clumped into a ball.

His face remained devoid of features.

All Saul had given him were the eyes of a dream.

But with nothing on his face like that, Saul saw a hint of peace.

He was dead. The moment he realized it.

Saul slowly stepped forward and raised his hand to pat gently on Jonah’s back.

This man, who had been struggling for an unknown amount of time in the Archaeostronghold, collapsed like a mosquito ash that had been gently dispersed to the ground by a single point.

It turned into a familiar gray powder, adding another cloud of dust to this messy room.

“Geez,” Penny had no so-called sentimental feelings for anyone else, it just recounted calmly, “looks like he didn’t really survive that massacre then.”

Saul stood fixedly for a moment, causing Penny and Herman to shy away from speaking until later.

There was no telling what Saul was thinking.

After another moment, the entire inner city became even dimmer before Saul moved.

He exited this house and returned to the opposite room, lifting his hand, the dust in the room was swept to the corner.

The entire room, while not new, was at least not dusty.

Saul walks over to the dining table in the hall of this house and pulls out a chair and sits down.

A huge quill appeared on the table in front of him, along with several sheets of unused parchment.

Saul picked up the exaggeratedly large quill and flicked it around, then wrote on the parchment.

“Kori, I need you to do a few things for me out there ……”

……

The package Kori was carrying suddenly vibrated, and she looked down and fished out a parchment with delicate lace from a small, delicate leather bag, spreading it out on her thigh.

“Che, not taking me in and making me do all this.”

A grumble escaped her lips, but a smile was on her face.

Although she and Saul had always been friends, she couldn’t meddle in anything Saul did.

Her opponent was progressing too quickly, she could only look on from the back, and the little help Sol gave was beneficial to her.

This made the self-proclaimed genius Korie feel anxious inside.

It was also for this reason that after she awoke under the collapsed wizard tower, she did not follow Senior Byron to find Sol.

With her strength, she would only drag her feet in the past.

So when Archduke Kira came over and invited her to the royal capital, promising to help her advance to full-fledged wizard as soon as possible, Korie agreed without hesitation.

It wasn’t entirely for the sake of her family.

Being able to help Saul today was always a slight comfort to her.

She jumped down from the tree, and it was then that Anne and Agu came over to her.

They had left their original town by now and were hiding out in the woods.

“A message from the master?” Ann was curious, her eyes always darting involuntarily to the parchment in Kori’s hand.

Agu on the side was just as honest, not peeking at all, just looking at the huge quill in Korrie’s hand.

“A messenger pen?”

Korrie smiled cheekily, “Yeah, after the Golsa Witch Tower collapsed, Saul and I both took one along. The pen couldn’t be used at too great a distance, but Saul was mentally strong and remodeled it a bit, so it can barely be used at this distance.”

Ann wasn’t interested in the summoning pen, she asked anxiously, “Is there something the master wants us to do?”

Korrie gathered her smile, “He, uh, asked us to help set up a few sorcery spells outside. This spell formation is so strange, I’ve never seen it before.”

Korrie unfolded the parchment and showed it to the two consciousnesses across from her.

With permission, Anne and Agu all came up.

Only on the yellowed, soft parchment, below a few lines of text, were drawn five intricate miniature spells.

There were also lines intersecting between these spell formations.

It was clearly formed into a pentagram.
