Chapter 70

Three days later, Adam looked at the trembling Devil standing in front of him and asked, "How is it?"

The Devil was secretly anxious. Even if it was born with the ability to control negative energy, three days was still too short. It could only make the most crude application, which was to use the negative energy as a shock wave and send it out.

But in the face of Adam's inquiry, it could only bite the bullet and nod. "Of course, no problem!"

"Good, use all your strength and use negative energy magic on me."

"Okay, huh?" The Devil first subconsciously accepted the order, then suddenly froze. "Master, what did you say?"

"I said, use all your strength and use negative energy magic on me."

The Devil flopped up and hugged Adam's thigh, wailing, "Master, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!" It thought that Adam wanted to punish it in this way. For the two of them who had signed a master-servant contract, as a slave, if the Devil attacked its master without the ability to withstand the backlash, it would suffer great pain.

Adam flicked it away and said, "I will temporarily suppress the backlash of the contract. I allow you to attack at will."

The Devil got up from the other side and asked in disbelief, "Suppress the backlash and attack at will?"

Adam nodded.

"What if I accidentally kill Master?"

"That's your ability. If you can do it, you'll be free. James and Frank can testify for you."

The Devil was ecstatic. It didn't expect to hear such a condition from Adam. Did this human really damage his brain because of the experiment? Since you want to die, don't blame me for being ruthless!

The Devil was blinded by its false confidence and didn't notice James and Frank's pitying eyes. They knew very well how strong Adam was now and didn't think that the Devil could cause any harm to Adam.

The Devil pretended to remind, "Master, don't you want to set up a defense first?"

Adam shook his head and said, "No need."

In the next second, the Devil's body suddenly collapsed, and the chaotic and distorted body turned into a huge mouth. Majestic gray energy spewed out of the huge mouth, and the laboratory seemed to have fallen into dusk. The light dimmed, and James and Frank couldn't help but show signs of falling into an illusion.

"Foolish human, you will pay for your arrogance! Lord Garfield is going to be free! "The Devil laughed maniacally.

There was a slight cracking sound in the air. James and Frank broke free from the illusion and looked at the Devil again with fear and pity.

"Who's Garfield? Is that the name you gave yourself? "

The Devil's laughter stopped abruptly. He lowered his head and looked at Adam in disbelief. "You're fine? How is that possible? How can you be fine? " It didn't believe in heresy and released three consecutive negative energy attacks, exhausting all of its energy. This time, it fixed its eyes on Adam and found that the energy hit Adam's body without any hindrance, but Adam didn't show any abnormalities at all.

Adam was quite satisfied with the experiment, so he didn't bother with the Devil's words. He walked up to the Devil and swept it aside before returning to his room to record the information.

The Devil turned to James and Frank and asked, "What's going on?"

James walked to its side and patted its, well, an unknown part, and said, "Obviously, your master has become stronger. You should be glad that he's not a calculative person. Otherwise, today …"

The energy attacks did enter Adam's body, but the new meditation technique's electrifying characteristics perfectly allowed Adam to break free from the illusion and negative emotions.

The electric current kept flowing in his body, stimulating Adam's various neurons and keeping him awake at all times. With the help of the static electricity, the recovered threads and logical thinking quickly swept away all distracting thoughts. What was more amazing was that he felt that there was an invisible layer of protection outside of his soul.

"Is this why official mages are not afraid of curses and negative energy magic? The protection of knowledge? " Adam couldn't help but exclaim. This was the magic of a high-magic world. This was the charm of magic. This feeling of directly transforming knowledge into power was really addictive.

"No wonder modern mages abandoned ancient magic. This method of obtaining power is not something that ancient magic can compare to."

In the following month, Adam constantly perfected the new meditation technique and incorporated new knowledge into it. As the process progressed, he obtained a new ability — levitation.

However, this didn't mean that he had obtained knowledge of electromagnetism. It was just that he had obtained part of the ability to apply it in advance under the current research results. If he wanted to truly master the power of electromagnetism, it would require a very difficult process.

.....

However, Adam had no way to delve into it for the time being. On this day, Mage Black, who hadn't seen Adam for a long time, sent someone to inform him to go to the second floor of the mission hall to meet him.

James reminded him, "It should be to ask you to complete a mission from the academy."

Adam suddenly remembered that contracted apprentices had the obligation to serve the academy. Every apprentice had a mission from the academy once a year, which could be offset with energy stones. However, if the academy specifically asked for it, the apprentice had no right to refuse.

Adam pulled out the Devil among the women and put it back into the thread, then flew to the mission hall.

"Good day, Master Mage Black."

After bowing, Adam realized that he wasn't the only one on the second floor. William, Corestal, and Ophelia, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, were also here.

William and Adam greeted each other and didn't say anything else.

Corestal didn't seem to have changed much, but Adam could sense that her mental state was completely different. It wasn't a manifestation of energy, but an external manifestation of her will.

"Good day, Adam. Long time no see," Corestal said to Adam.

Ophelia's body was wrapped in metal armor, and even her face was covered by a helmet. Next to her hand was a greatsword that was taller than her. She was colder than before, and her azure blue eyes were indifferent to everything. She saw that Adam didn't have any reaction, as if Adam didn't exist at all.

Adam nodded to Corestal, but before he could say anything, Mage Black said, "Let's talk about old times later. This time, you need to form a team to complete a mission. The location of the mission is your hometown."

The other three obviously knew the mission's content. Only Adam was slightly stunned. Hometown?

"Deserted island?"

Mage Black said, "To be precise, it's Madeira Island."

Mage Black then explained, "Two years ago, an organization appeared in the western part of Madeira Island. They called themselves the Supreme Church. At first, they only operated in the western part of the island. The spellcasters in the church called themselves the Priests. They bewitched the poor to develop their religion. They claimed that as long as they piously believed in the gods, they would be able to obtain extraordinary power. They drove their followers to kill heresies and sacrificed human flesh to the gods in order to obtain the gods' blessings."

Adam was a little dazed. He thought of the cults on Earth. It seemed to be the same way. But could it work in a high-magic world like the Mage's Plane?

Mage Black saw Adam's doubts. "Their sacrifice of flesh and blood can indeed give them power. This has been confirmed by Duke Alfred, who is stationed on Madeira Island."

Adam asked, "Do gods really exist?"

This was obviously not in line with the sorcerers' worldview. He even suspected that even if there were gods, they would only be the sorcerers' prey.

Mage Black said, "There are no gods in the Mage's Plane, but there are in other planes. Gods are what the ignorant natives of other planes call themselves. You can think of them as Hyperdimensional sorcerers. Praise be to the great Prometheus Necromancer, praise be to the Annicroft World Protector. Because of their existence, all beings from other planes are unable to descend upon the Plane of Sorcerers. Powerful beings from other planes can only rely on luck to find humans in the Void who can receive their information in hopes of obtaining the coordinates of the Plane of Sorcerers.

Mage Black sneered. "But it's futile. The coordinates of the Mage's Plane are encrypted by all the Grand Necromancers. It's impossible to find out."

Adam was a little stunned. Then what was he? A lucky guy?

"The natives of other planes can only obtain power through sacrifice. Ordinary people who obtain power from it won't be very strong. The academy speculates that there won't be any official spellcasters.

Your mission is to exterminate the cult and bring back the medium for the natives to transmit information. "

Mage Black looked at the four of them and asked, "Any other questions?"

The four of them shook their heads.

Mage Black finally said, "You need to leave within two days. As for the person in charge of this mission, it will be Adam."

.....

After that, the four of them walked out of the mission hall and agreed to meet at the bottom of the tower the next morning.

Adam asked in his mind, "Do you have any information about the powerful beings from other planes in your inherited memories?"

The Devil jumped out and said indifferently, "I don't remember the details, but master, you're a being from the Mage's Plane. Why would a sorcerer care about some natives from other planes? That idiot god is dead. Only an idiot would recklessly try to come to the Mage's Plane."

After returning to the laboratory, Adam began to purchase alchemy items, especially teleportation scrolls. He had learned his lesson from the last time. He didn't want to fall into a desperate situation where he couldn't escape.

The next day, at the bottom of the tower, William and the other two saw Adam fully equipped. They could recognize that Adam was wearing a robe with an official level earth defense spell. It was very expensive. The ring on his hand could shoot an official level fire attack spell. It was also very expensive. The necklace on his chest could activate an official level water recovery spell. It was also very expensive.

The equipment on Adam's body was already worth more than the total wealth of most of the apprentices combined.
