Aren't they afraid this place will collapse?\" Saul twisted his neck, which suddenly became thin like a hair strand, drilling out from between Clark's fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clark showed a surprised look and lowered his head to look at his own hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't use mental power, yet you could directly transform and escape... Did you combine your soul with your flesh? You're really not afraid of death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking free from Clark, Saul's body had already returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood-Soul Fusion was indeed a very dangerous magical transformation, otherwise Ann's Bloodrose family wouldn't have declined so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Saul freed himself from Clark's restraints, he immediately shouted at the motionless Pei'er: \"Lady Ophelia, whatever the reason, you can't just let Pei'er be devoured by Clark's nightmare, can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei'er's body trembled slightly, as if Ophelia was preparing to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Clark just moved his lips, silently mouthing a few words to Ophelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he made a sound, \"I know what you came here to do. I only want the Wind Sprite's soul, you can still use her body... You wouldn't want the balance to be broken, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei'er's body actually became calm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not knowing what conditions Clark had offered Ophelia, she actually didn't even care about her own sister!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, Saul felt extremely powerful mental power fluctuations coming from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These mental power fluctuations were very familiar, clearly belonging to Clark in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now his mental power was coming from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul turned around sharply and immediately met eyes with Clark, who had narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party had somehow come behind him without his notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, relying on others doesn't work. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul no longer hesitated and immediately tried to forcibly drag Clark into his Mental Battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the other party's mental power was as solid as a mountain, and Saul couldn't move him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, after releasing his mental power, Saul also felt intense drowsiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyelids immediately became as heavy as if filled with mercury, almost unhesitatingly seeking his lower eyelids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the state between sleep and wakefulness, Saul vaguely heard Clark's voice, cold as winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never attack someone of higher rank than you, even though your mental power is strong enough to move even me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me see what exactly gave you such special talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy beside them wanted to speak but hesitated. She knew that although her great-grandfather was Thunder Lord Alick, the chairman of the Stargate Council, at this moment, being only second-rank, she still had no voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among wizards pursuing knowledge and power, only one's own strength could earn true respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul had a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dream, he was aging in reverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the scene when he first entered the Borderland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this scene quickly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time reversed, turning into flowing light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the flowing light, Saul saw himself communicating with Caugust's Shaya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this image also quickly distorted and stretched into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw himself fighting under the wizard tower, and Keli running frantically toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These images also didn't stay long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He passed through Blue Water Bay, crossed Hanging Valley, left Ralph's Manor, returned to the wizard tower, back to the day he first took the apprentice test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sid, sitting in front of him, laughed loudly, \"Two opposing elements? You really just wrote whatever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick beside him didn't speak, just quietly watched Saul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul saw himself reach for the puppet doll in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that at this time, he was determined to faint during the mental power test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he wasn't clear why fainting would let him escape the magic test and survive, the diary didn't say this wouldn't work, which meant it \"would work\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Saul found himself entering his weak body from that time, staring intently at the puppet doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those familiar \"save me\" and the \"kill me\" mixed within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Saul felt dizzy and uncomfortable all over, as if someone had stuck their hand into his brain matter and kept stirring, causing all his nerves to be pulled and torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really wanted to look away, but told himself to persist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he persisted, he could survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, darkness began to invade his brain, numbness quietly crept up from his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's enough...\" Saul thought, \"I'm about to faint.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, an abrupt voice that seemed to come from his own body spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really going to faint? But your limit is far beyond this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet's screaming had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"save me\" voices disappeared, all becoming dense \"kill me! Kill me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange voice inside continued, \"You want to faint only because you want to faint. But now, you don't want to faint anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain and darkness both retreated, and Saul suddenly widened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sid and Nick, who were waiting to watch the show, both stood up from their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes at Saul gradually changed from shock to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the sound from the puppet doll also changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill me! Kill me! Gorsa... kill me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gorsa...\" Saul unconsciously repeated, \"Kill me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill me! Kill me! Gorsa... killed me again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...killed... me again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul was stunned, suddenly curious about what \"again\" meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he found himself actually leaving the wizard tower where he was being tested, arriving at a grassy field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is this now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul turned around in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight was just right, tender green grass dotted with tiny white flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle breeze came, and the flowers and grass lowered themselves as if greeting Saul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Saul, Brother Saul...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silver butterfly appeared from somewhere, spinning and approaching Saul like a flower petal dancing in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was as beautiful as a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the sky suddenly became overcast with thunder rumbling, as if something terrible was about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Penny's joyful dance immediately lost its composure and happiness, with fear trembling in its voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Saul, Brother Saul, someone wants to eat me, quickly help me hide!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul immediately spoke, \"Penny, quickly hide in my dream!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Penny obediently listened and immediately flew into Saul's forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then yellow sand swept between heaven and earth, and visibility dropped to less than one meter in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coarse sand particles hit Saul's skin like countless steel knives constantly cutting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That voice from the bottom of his heart spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you hid the Nightmare Butterfly in your own dream. Heh, truly exceptionally talented and incredibly confident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To play with your own dreams in front of a Dreammaker?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Overestimating yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1179,"2026-06-05T22:22:28.368Z",1,"novelbin.me","483202dcc9ec5fb82aa8d88f11898055653f5a3ed49e6368ab9fb2acaeb62831","diary-of-a-dead-wizard-chapter-630","diary-of-a-dead-wizard-chapter-628",1037,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdiary-of-a-dead-wizard-cover.jpg"]
