Even after sustaining such severe injuries, Arnold remained convinced of his ultimate victory. The gap between a Second-Level and a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice was not easily bridged, especially since he was an experienced Third-Level Wizard Apprentice, making it easy for him to deal with Daniel.
He then pointed a finger, unleashing a barrage of spells: Acid Splash, Dark Finger, Death Ripple, Arrow Spell, and Earth Spike, all aimed at Daniel. He intended to drown him in a torrent of magic.
Daniel took a few steps back, conjuring fireballs that flew toward Arnold. Although their power was not as immense and they were merely Fireball Spells without the flair of other magic, their speed was significantly greater. The fireballs came at him relentlessly, giving Arnold the sensation of facing a dozen Fire Elemental Wizards.
At that moment, Arnold fully realized the truth. The Flame Demon he had been pursuing had always been by his side.
It was laughable; he had mistakenly considered Daniel an ally and had even involved him in the ambush against the Flame Demon. He had foolishly entrusted him with the exquisite potion Nine Star Jade Dew.
How could he expect to succeed when the enemy had been right beside him all along?
His defeat was not unjust.
He felt a deep hatred; if only he had known earlier, he would not have fallen into such a predicament.
It was absurd; just moments ago, he thought Daniel shared his intent to kill and silence him while plundering Vita City to seal off information and escape. That was why he aimed to confront him.
But it was too late now. The two were engaged in a defensive and offensive struggle, yet what shocked Arnold was that despite having the absolute upper hand, Daniel was not without protective power.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been fine; his magical energy was abundant, far beyond what Daniel could compare to, and he could always outlast his opponent. But now, severely injured as he was, he had no time to waste.
"Alright, let me see what abilities you have to kill me."
Arnold lunged forward fiercely, his eyes filled with determination as he prepared for a final showdown with Daniel, willing to drag him down to hell even at the cost of his own life.
This time, Daniel evaded instead of taking the hit head-on.
As Arnold charged forward, he did not turn back to attack but instead accelerated toward the exit. In his injured state, only a fool would choose to fight to the death against his opponent.
Boom, a tremor shook the ground as Daniel looked at the remains of Arnold, completely obliterated. He shook his head; if he dared to launch a surprise attack, he should have anticipated that the opponent would fight back fiercely.
Although his own strength was formidable, when it came to matching a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice in combat power, he still fell short. Especially since the opponent had defensive Magical Items, it wouldn't be easy to deal with.
He had already set up dozens of Explosive Potions along the path; as soon as someone stepped on them, they would explode, prepared for the possibility that his ambush might fail and lead the opponent into them. He never expected the opponent to charge in first.
Daniel quickly searched around him and soon found a Turtle Shell Pendant and a Dagger, both radiating a distinct aura. These were all the Magical Items the opponent possessed.
This also indicated how rare Magical Items were. Even a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice only had two.
However, Daniel was not disappointed. His true gain was not here. He bent down to pick up a Token with the Image of the One-Eyed Dragon and infused it with magical energy.
The token emitted a glow, forming a projection in front of him. It was an image of a middle-aged white man with graying hair, whose imposing presence suggested he had held high office for many years.
Daniel recognized his portrait; it was Boris, the ancestor behind the Antia Empire, who was indeed a Master Wizard.
"Whoever holds this token represents my will. Dare to disobey, and you shall be executed without mercy."
It seemed this was the token Arnold possessed, allowing him to venture deep into the Lava Secret Realm and meet the Fire Elemental Elder without being attacked by them.
After some thought, Daniel did not directly venture deeper into the Lava Secret Realm to meet the Fire Elemental Elder. Arnold had just come out from there; he didn't know what had transpired between them. Now he was going in with the token—anyone could see that there would be problems.
With these items in hand, Daniel exited the secret realm and let out a long howl. Bear Big, who had been waiting nearby, rushed over. The large bear face showed reluctance but still crouched at his feet to pay respects.
"Take me to Vita City. Be careful not to let anyone discover your presence."
Daniel instructed before lying down on Bear Big's broad back to rest. It was surprisingly warm and had no unpleasant odor.
He had paid quite a price for this complete annihilation of his opponent. Not only did he have to deal with seven Wizard Apprentices at once, but one of them was also a seasoned Third-Level Wizard Apprentice.
Although Daniel used strategies, he still had to confront them head-on, which nearly exhausted his magical energy. He had also used most of the potions he had just crafted, almost returning to the state he was in when he first arrived in the Underworld.
With Bear Big as his mode of transportation, Daniel quickly arrived at Vita City. This time, Daniel thought for a moment and decided not to let Bear Big enter. Instead, he quietly infiltrated Vita City and soon reached their villa.
He had already conducted reconnaissance some time ago and had a rough idea of what was inside, including the location of the secret chamber.
Previously, when he was with Arnold and the others, it was impossible for him to investigate their privacy. Otherwise, if discovered, he would be the first to suffer.
Whether he could escape from the siege of ten Wizard Apprentices was already a question, let alone emptying their secret chamber.
Now that there was no one around, he could explore freely and quickly found Arnold's secret chamber.
Uncertain whether it was due to confidence or some other reason, his secret chamber was the most conspicuous and easy to find, with the strongest defenses. Looking at the densely packed various defensive Magic Arrays, Daniel was greatly shocked; some of them he didn't even recognize.
At the center of the secret chamber's entrance was a terrifying Devil's Skull, with its mouth wide open as if ready to devour everything.
Fortunately, without its master’s defense, how powerful could the Magic Arrays be? Especially since Arnold was already dead; even if a signal were sent out, no one would respond. Daniel had ample time to slowly decipher them.
Comparing the Magic Arrays above with those in his chip, he examined what kind of Magic Arrays they were and how to break them.
With countless data from the chip for comparison, Daniel quickly identified the type of Magic Array—it used specific incantations and bloodlines.
Only Arnold knew the incantations, and with his death, they could no longer be deciphered.
But as for the bloodline… as a powerful Third-Level Wizard Apprentice, he must have used his own bloodline. In that case, perhaps I can break it through another method.
Daniel picked up a red test tube containing blood he had collected from Arnold after his death, specifically gathered to deal with emergencies. Now it came in handy.
Holding the test tube in his left hand and taking out a piece of Mithril with his right hand, Daniel activated it for a thousandth of a second. Instantly, the surrounding environment slowed down in his eyes by countless times, giving him enough time to respond to any potential situations.
He dripped a drop of blood into the menacing Devil's Skull. The Devil's Skull seemed to come alive, suddenly closing its mouth as it savored the taste and began analysis.
Taking advantage of this moment, the Mithril in Daniel's hand melted instantly and was controlled by him to carve onto the Magic Array. Some even penetrated into the walls, altering the defensive mechanisms above.
Devil's Skull tasted the blood and analyzed that it was Arnold's blood, matching complete. A voice came from above, "Please enter the password."
Daniel ignored it and continued to modify the Magic Array.
After a moment, seeing that Daniel did not enter the password, Devil's Skull continued monotonously, "Please enter the password, please enter the password. Countdown begins, three, two…."
"Ah, La, La, Ka, Mo." Benniel chimed in, stretching out the sounds to delay time as much as possible.
"Password incorrect, please re-enter."
Daniel tried twice more, but still failed.
"Password incorrect, confirming intruder, alarm, alarm."
Devil's Skull announced as an alarm sounded from outside, beeping incessantly and piercingly.
If this were before, upon hearing the alarm not only Arnold, but also the other Wizard Apprentices would have known that someone was intruding into the secret chamber and would rush over to check. Unfortunately, they were all dead now; even if an alarm went off, it was useless.
The alarm had only sounded a few times when Daniel successfully altered the Magic Array. With a soft bang, the Magic Array erupted with sparks of electricity, crackling loudly. It then lost its function, and the alarm ceased accordingly.
