N-A-A Chapter 1 The Wizard Lurker
Chapter 1 The Wizard Lurker
It was cold and shivering.
This was Li Wei's first feeling upon being transported to another world.
After a moment's pause, confirming that he was temporarily safe, he took no action, not even opening his eyes.
As a spy, an infiltrator in the wizarding world.
It would be best to follow the principles of wizards exploring other worlds, wait for the body's memories to awaken, understand the laws governing this world, and then take action.
Otherwise, because the rules of this world are so different, one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.
Li Wei has confirmed that he is lying in a cold, damp cave.
Beneath him was a cold stone slab, and a bone-chilling coldness spread throughout his body up his spine.
His nose still smelled of dampness, mildew, and dust.
At the same time, he also detected a sweet, fishy smell in the air, wafting from all directions.
He twitched his nose slightly, and judging from his knowledge as a wizard apprentice, he quickly confirmed that it was human blood, and very fresh, as if it had just gushed out.
However, he still did not take any action.
Something must have happened here; most likely, someone has died.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to travel into this corpse.
Having already traversed twice, his mindset is exceptionally strong at this moment.
After all, this wasn't the first time he had been transported into a strange corpse.
The first time, I was transported to a wizarding world where witchcraft was highly developed and had begun to absorb many other planes.
He became a wizard apprentice with the same name as him, believing he could become a legendary wizard who would live forever and explore the mysteries of the universe.
However, the next day, fate played a cruel joke on him.
His mentor, facing financial difficulties due to the development of a new dimension, sold his wizard tower to the Wizarding World's Nexus.
As part of the Wizard Tower's operation, Li Wei was naturally given away as a free gift to the All-Domain Hub.
Subsequently, he was judged by the Nexus's talent array to have extremely low wizarding talent and was unsuitable for the simple cleaning and maintenance work of the wizard tower.
The Wanyu Hub then directly handed him a Lurker System.
Then, he was thrown into a new world that the Wizarding World had not yet explored by the Nexus, to explore new planes for the Wizarding World in order to invade.
This plane is the world that Li Wei is currently traveling to.
Just as he was complaining about the darkness of the wizarding world.
He could hear a crunching sound, like bones being chewed.
Moreover, the sound was getting closer and closer, accompanied by rhythmic footsteps.
It was like a ferocious beast devouring flesh and blood as it approached Li Wei.
Cold sweat broke out on Li Wei's forehead. He had to act now. If he waited until he had finished receiving the memories before acting, then it would be truly over.
He suddenly opened his eyes, propped himself up with his hands, and was about to pull out the life-saving sorcery scroll from the Infiltrator system.
Suddenly, a sharp headache struck, and a torrent of information rushed into his brain.
Li Wei, 22 years old, a resident of Tizka, the capital of Planet Prospero, a scholar of the Phoenix School, who inherited the psychic knowledge and ten-layer mental system of the Archmage Magnus...
He realized that he had transmigrated to the infamous "cesspool" world of his previous life—the Warhammer universe—and become a fire-based psionic scholar under Magnus.
Moreover, the unlucky guy who time-traveled this time is also named Li Wei.
Having regained the original owner's memories, Li Wei stared blankly at the figure he had previously mistaken for a ferocious beast.
The figure was a blindingly blue light source, its emanating blue glow dispelling the darkness of the cave and illuminating Li Wei's ever-changing face.
The source of light was centered on a large lynx made of eerie blue flames.
Li Wei knew that this was the original owner's guardian spirit: a lynx whose body was engulfed in the flames of the warp.
Guardian Spirits are an important part of Magnus's psionic system.
It can amplify the host's psionic power, and the host can also use it as an additional reconnaissance tool by taking advantage of the guardian spirit's vision.
In the memories of this body, Li Wei came across the words spoken by Carlofis, the chief mage of the Fire Phoenix School who had taught him this secret technique.
Guardian spirits are essentially fragments of the primordial creator in the warp, shaped by the host's own psychic will, forming warp creations.
But as a seasoned Cloud Hammer in his previous life, Li Wei knew that the Guardian Spirits were actually demons disguised under Tzeentch, one of the four Chaos Gods.
At this moment, the guardian lynx continued its forward stride, chewing on the hard-to-swallow bone fragments in its mouth, following the momentum from before.
When it saw the already dead Li Wei, it straightened its upper body as if it had risen from the dead.
A hint of surprise was revealed on its furry face, which was made of deep blue flames.
It's as if they're saying, "Wasn't Li Wei dead? How did he come back to life?"
Furthermore, did Li Wei witness his own act of devouring flesh and blood, and did he thus deduce that the guardian spirit was not benevolent?
The lynx's two eyes, each the size of a pigeon's egg, suddenly blazed with scorching, eerie blue flames as it stared intently at its nominal master.
Its face also revealed the ferocity of a feline hunter, and its fur, which was made of flames, stood up suddenly like a cat in fright.
Its murderous intent spread throughout the narrow cave, making even the air feel heavy.
Li Wei also struggled to sit up at this moment, his back hunched, rubbing his throbbing temples, as if he hadn't noticed his pet's hunting posture.
His voice was hoarse, revealing an unconcealable weariness.
"Naguar, my guardian spirit, what are you doing out here?"
He paused as soon as he finished speaking, released his fingers from his forehead, and pointed to the complex array of scarlet blood at his feet.
"My blood array, constructed with my own blood, seems to be malfunctioning. I need to rest; please don't disturb me."
After saying that, he staggered toward the stone bench not far away, coughing as he walked slowly, as if he were suffering from the backlash of the blood array.
He seemed oblivious to the palpable killing intent emanating from within the cave.
It seems that because the cave was too dark, they didn't see their pet chewing on the bone.
I didn't see any blood dripping from its mouth onto the ground, splashing into the dust as tiny droplets of blood.
The demonic lynx tilted its head and carefully examined Li Wei. Seeing that Li Wei's expression and actions did not seem fake, it felt relieved, licked the fiery fur on its hand, and then gracefully turned around to leave.
however.
Just as it turned around.
The man and the beast moved at the same time.
Li Wei suddenly turned around and raised his hand, unleashing a golden fireball.
The demonic lynx also turned around at the same time, opening its mouth to spew out a blue subspace flame.
Bang!
The golden and blue flames collided violently in mid-air, turning into a violent energy shock that kicked up dust and rubble.
In the instant when smoke and dust filled the air.
At the heart of the explosion, a silver-gray sorcery scroll suddenly unfurled.
A dark, needle-like spike suddenly shot out from the center of the scroll, striking the lynx.
The next moment.
A mournful roar, like that of a dying beast, came from the swirling dust before Li Wei.
This is the real killer move.
Li Wei's tense body immediately relaxed, but he did not extinguish the psionic fireball in his hand.
Seeing is believing, hearing is not.
Waited for a while.
The dust settled.
Li Wei finally relaxed completely.
Not far away, the demonic lynx was pinned to the wall by the black spikes, its terrified eyes fixed on Li Wei, letting out even more panicked roars.
At the same time, a thought entered Li Wei's mind through the Guardian Spirit Contract.
"You're not him! Who are you? Li Wei doesn't have that kind of ability! Let me go, and I'll keep this a secret!"
Li Wei did not respond.
You can't trust a single word a warp demon says, let alone one of Tzeentch's minions.
He severed the mental connection directly.
Only then did he extinguish the flame in his hand and stroll forward, but there was no joy on his face as if he had defeated a powerful enemy.
He stared intently at the dark, sharp spikes, a pang of pain shooting through his heart.
This is an attack launched from the first-circle sorcery scroll "Shadow Spear," and it is indeed powerful, comparable to a full-force strike from a formal wizard, but it is also extremely expensive.
This was a life-saving scroll that Li Wei had bought with all the savings of his wizard apprentice, and he never expected it to be used so soon after he crossed over to another world.
Li Wei actually knew that he could use the powerful psychic energy in his current body, combined with the wizarding knowledge of a wizard apprentice, to potentially defeat the demon lynx.
But Livy was self-aware; his wizard apprentice knowledge was indeed useful, as it could improve his psionic skills and enhance the power of his psionic fireballs.
But Li Wei still remembered that the Nexus of the Myriad Realms had rated his wizarding talent as extremely low, so this seemingly feasible tactic was very likely an illusion.
Besides, wouldn't it be foolish not to use a ready-made trump card?
Besides, it's not like these costs are unrecoverable.
The next instant, Li Wei mentally invoked the Lurker System to sell the demonic lynx before him.
