Chapter 1065: The Evil Arch Wizard's Frustrations
-----
The magical presence that the Arch Wizard exuded slowly recessed as the Planta and her friends escaped from the Magician Tower, even the tree left behind by her portal burning by Mark's flames. The only thing left as the wizards finally stepped inside the spatial bubble was... Nothing but ashes and burnt furniture!
Everything else was gone, the countless of corpses were burnt to charred dust, all the souls were stolen, the precious materials, the half-made Grimoires and Skill books, and every single magic item they could have expected to be left.
And above all, all of the wizards here were killed, without exception! Their bodies could barely be seen now, mostly bones left behind, if not even that. Not even their souls were left behind, however, making it impossible to raise them as Undead.
"Everything is gone, those bastards stole everything!"
"T-They killed everyone too?!"
"How... How did they escape?"
"This is too much, it's unbelievable."
The wizards watching the scene were left completely and utterly devastated emotionally, to think there was a foe so powerful they could infiltrate their tower, kill dozens of their strongest members and steal them all within just a couple of hours was terrifying.
The wizards, who thought they were the strongest organization without enemies, quickly realized there were still a lot of big fishes out there. They quickly started gathering information about what had happened by onlookers or passersby.
After gathering this info, they moved towards the Master of the Tower, the darkness of the castle quickly became apparent, only using their Mana Senses to guide themselves cross it.
Eventually, they reached him, his tall, intimidating figure sitting over a comfortable throne, right in the middle of this darkness. Surrounding him there was a large group of wizards, his strongest men, and also his loyal servants.
The old man's silhouette could be barely seen through the shadows, but it was very clear that he had a long, gray colored beard and wore dark blue robes, with a big wizard hat. His eyes shone with red light, his powerful magic aura distorting space itself around him.
"Tell me everything you know... Who did this!"
As he spoke, a powerful shockwave of Mana erupted from his body, making the wizards quickly kneel before his overwhelming presence.
"From what we can assume, there are some suspects, four of them, my lord."
"P-Please have mercy, my lord...!"
"W-We will find those children and bring them to you!"
"Give us another chance!"
Their magic was utterly useless against him, who could, with his mere presence, seal all magic weaker than his own Magic Circle, and severely weaken any wizard with less Mana than him.
"Another chance? Even when I could simply reuse your souls, bodies, and mana to make more competent beings?" laughed the old man. "You joined this sect willing to give your flesh and soul to me! So why do you fear what's coming? Did you thought you would live the good life, while sitting on your asses as this happened?!
Who do you think you're upsetting here but the one that shall become the next Demon King?! You fool!"
"GRYYYAAAGH!"
The wizards that had been onlookers about what happened were quickly twisted, their bodies, souls, flesh, blood, bones, everything started twisting, the sound of their bodies breaking apart reverberated across the entire hall, the cultists surrounding the man looked at the scene in fascination.
"{Daemon Creatio}"
Conjuring high level Demon Magic, the Arch Wizard quickly gave birth to new entities out of the wizard's flesh and souls, twisting their forms into aberrant entities overflowing with demonic and magical powers, their Demon Souls fully taking over.
"You who has freed us from our vessels, and given us new bodies..."
"Please, tell us..."
"What do you wish for us to do in exchange?"
The Demon Souls asked his request.
"Find those four and bring them to me. And... get me that child, I need a new, younger, more talented, and stronger vessel."
