Transcendent Dawn

“Where’s the beast?”

David tightened his grip on his dual swords, excitedly asking.

“In… the Mayor’s residence.”

The public security officer pointed towards the center of the town, towards the most extravagant ‘villa’.

Compared to the shanty dwellings of the other villagers, this two-story building could indeed be considered a palace.

“Why would it be there?”

“What exactly is going on?”

The captain of the White Feather Mercenary Group said solemnly, “My name, Carl, is well known. You can ask around. As long as our employer entrusted us with a task, we’d risk our lives to complete it. However, this does not include concealing crucial clues and information.”

Withholding key information at this time would be almost akin to sentencing them to death.

The entire White Feather squad supported their captain with actions, pointing their weapons at the public security officer.

Otto’s expression changed, “What do you intend to do? Mutiny?”

“No, just negotiations!” Carl looked around, “You don’t want the young helpers in town to go and get killed, and I have to be responsible for my teammates as well!”

At this moment, a roaring sound was heard from the two-story building.

It was like the angry roars and shouts of millions of people, carrying a disturbing aura.

Many ordinary people had already turned pale, feeling like vomiting.

However, Su Lu was stunned and was completely sure, it was indeed the Language of Arrogance!

He even deciphered its meaning:

“When the seed of arrogance blooms, the Lord of Madness will return amidst the feast!”

‘What’s going on? The Lord of Madness Shewinado is already revived in the Main World, isn’t he? No… this might be an effect of Him unintentionally leaked out…’

‘An arrogant wizard heard this gibberish and lost control?’

That was very likely.

Since Shewinado’s resurrection, Su Lu no longer used the Language of Arrogance, for fear of being influenced.

The arrogant wizards in this world do not know this!

‘Even… did the arrogant wizards of this world provide some assistance for Shewinado’s resurrection?’

Clouds of suspicion were formed in Su Lu’s mind, and he almost wanted to immediately rush to the Violet Territory to seek out Silver Eye, Ham, and others for clarification.

At this time, Otto could no longer keep his secret, he said directly, “The Mayor was hosting a wizard, presumably hoping he could solve some problems for him, but…”

He shook his head, “Everything was normal, at first, but then, in the night, screams began to come from the Mayor’s mansion… Someone saw the beast!”

“Did the Mayor invite the wizard to deal with this beast, but he failed?” Carl couldn’t help guessing, and quickly asked, “Where’s the person who saw the beast?”

“He’s gone mad, turned into a drooling idiot!”

Otto replied with a grim expression.

“To this degree…” Carl’s expression became even worse, “This is no ordinary beast, but a Transcendent species with psychic attack skills. It requires a black iron knight or a wizard.”

He looked at Su Lu.

The opinion of a wizard at this time was very important, perhaps it was the key to their mission’s success or failure, even their survival.

With a sigh, Su Lu extended his right hand and gave a light pat.

Bang!

It was as if an invisible large hand in the void swept over the two-story small building, lifting the roof and wooden wall.

– Air Palm!

This spell derives from the template within the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle. A regular third-level [Mage] would need a large amount of points to exchange for it, but for Su Lu, it was free.

Splash.

Various wood chips and bricks fell and flew around.

Although Su Lu deliberately controlled it, some tiny fragments still hit some unfortunate people, causing a mess.

Carl didn’t care about this scene. Instead, he stared at Su Lu: “Sir… you’re not just an ordinary wizard, are you?”

As someone well-traveled and knowledgeable, he knew that such powerful spells could only be cast casually by, at the very least, a mid-level mage, if not a high-level one.

“It’s coming out.”

Su Lu responded evasively, looking towards the breach he had created.

There, a monster slowly emerged from the darkness.

It was crawling on all fours, similar to a humanoid spider, its surface teeming with severed limbs and body parts.

On either side of its sole head, there were six massive ears.

“Ugh!”

Just the sight of it nauseated David. A feeling of revulsion and terror took over his mind.

He doubled over, vomiting up his stomach’s contents.

The ordinary people nearby were in a similar state.

“Don’t look at it closely; this monster has the ability to mentally pollute…”

Su Lu shook his head.

“A Transcendent species! A real Transcendent species!”

Carl shifted his gaze and murmured.

A real Transcendent species is a term that spread with the resurrection of the Spirit Tide, defined as something ordinary people can’t handle with conventional weapons!

To ordinary people, they are nightmares! They represent despair!

“Mr. Su Lu, I only glanced at it briefly, but I seem to have seen remnants of clothes on it…”

Carl advised Su Lu.

“I know…” Su Lu nodded seriously: “This is not a monster, but an ‘Arrogant Wizard’ who’s lost control!”

No sooner had he spoken than he saw the shocked expression on Carl’s face: “It’s… It’s a lunatic from the Arrogant School!”

Carl’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, suddenly his face twisted :”Susan… you act first, pierce my eardrums!”

‘Tsk tsk…’

From just his behavior, Su Lu could tell that there seemed to be many out-of-control Arrogant Wizards in this world, all with effective countermeasures.

‘However… the true Language of Arrogance is not something a punctured eardrum can withstand… but it seems to work quite well against low-ranking out-of-controls…’

Nevertheless, he was not so nasty to wait until all the White Feather Mercenary Group members became deaf before taking action.

“Quick! Any late and it’ll be too late, do you want to become lunatics and idiots?”

Carl roared.

But the next moment, he found his team members had their mouths wide open, staring at the center of the field.

When Carl turned to look, he showed the same expression as his team members.

David, who was dry heaving, managed to lift his head and see the wizard, Su Lu, advancing step by step.

The spider-like monster shivered all over and kept withdrawing, as if… it was fearful of him.

“Tell me, what happened?”

Su Lu walked up to the monster and asked authoritatively.

As a Fifth-Level professional, he had enough authority to suppress most Spiritual Bodies. Although the effect was slightly weaker on monsters, this one wasn’t too strong.

Intimidated by him,

The madness and confusion in the Spider Man’s Head’s eyes gradually faded, turning into confusion. It began to speak in the Language of Arrogance: “I don’t know… I just did as teacher told me, I followed that voice, I actively sought it… Ah…. I heard many people whispering in my ears, I received a piece of information…”

Its words were disjointed, akin to the ramblings of a madman, divulging some mysterious knowledge.

There were fragments of ceremonies and some related information about the [Odd Technician], but all were quite scattered.

“So… I’ve become a monster… teacher…”

The Spider Man’s Head paused and glanced at its own body. Behind its own head, a pair of eyes grew out.

And then, its expression twisted into madness!
