Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 557 - 555: Hero Saves the Beauty?

Chapter 557: Chapter 555: Hero Saves the Beauty?

The retreat provided by the Centaur was quite interesting, situated at the northeastern corner of the first underground level, exactly diagonal to the Centaur Basin.

It’s unknown if this was intentional.

Ivan didn’t mind, as it was a good opportunity to walk more and observe the Underground World.

“Noticed anything?”

“What?”

“There aren’t areas like ancient battlefields in the Underground World, nor can you see Spiritual Bodies spawning; this environment is cleaner than the surface.”

Days later, the group crossed from the southwestern corner to the west, and then back to the Northern Territory.

After a long period of observation, Ivan realized that the underground indeed differed from the surface; the quality of energy particles here was significantly superior.

“Maybe we just haven’t encountered them, that doesn’t mean they aren’t there, perhaps they are hidden deeper.” When he heard this, Tanaya had a different opinion.

“You’re wrong, Danaila’s underground is unique, it seems to purify the powers from other worlds, making it hard for those chaotic entities to arise here.” Ivan explained.

“You are an Arcane Wizard, what you say goes.” Tanaya basically gave up on the path of the sorcerer, not dwelling on this point.

“No wonder people say that the underground is the true heart of Danaila.” Ivan mused, having heard this from Old Tree Man Meg initially skeptical but now realizing the reason.

He had a premonition that only by delving deeper into the underground to study, could the essence of Danaila’s power be slowly unveiled.

Perhaps, this is also the essence of a Level 6 sorcerer and the throne.

If this feeling is right, it would indeed be a pity for sorcerers not to establish a dwelling in the underground.

“Why study these when you could focus on becoming the Knight King? If you were the Knight King, those Centaurs might have submitted to you immediately when we met.”

Tanaya bluntly changed the topic.

“Heh, quite insightful.”

“What are you laughing at? It’s true.”

“Alright, let’s rest a bit.”

Ivan already had a plan in mind on how to become the Knight King, taking things step by step.

With his current accumulation, as long as the timing is right, he would naturally become the Knight King, unlike his previous arcane promotion, which took everything he had for one ultimate elevation.

Mountain wind blew as the group landed on a towering cliff.

Standing on top of the cliff, one could see the dome of the Underground World, which was a layer of remarkable rock walls dotted with specks of starlight, presenting a unique charm.

Ivan cast a tracking spell as usual, the results remained the same as before, still no trace of Meg.

He was used to it by now, not disappointed.

In fact, there was a simpler way to find Meg – go to Southern Territory’s Kemor Empire, and ask the War Ancient Tree for leads, likely increasing the chances of finding clues.

But he couldn’t go, having promised the Dark Night Mother Goddess before departure.

Breaking that promise might provoke the wrath of the Dark Night Mother Goddess, an unworthy risk.

“Look quick, there’s something there.”

Just then, Tanaya pointed out.

A large silhouette was moving across the uneven dome not far away, crossing it as if it was flat ground. On closer inspection, it was a hideous spider covered in dark green fuzz, dragging prey in a web.

The prey hung mid-air, swaying side to side with the spider’s rapid movements.

“It’s a fairly attractive young woman, Sorcerer Ivan, how about a heroic rescue?”

Tanaya was clearly just watching the excitement.

“Okay.”

Ivan hadn’t paid attention at first, but after a glance, immediately changed his mind.

“Seriously?”

Tanaya was stunned.

Her question went unanswered as Ivan already chased after the fast-moving spider, so quickly the others didn’t even react.

“Angela, what’s going on?” Tanaya couldn’t believe someone would act on lust.

“That looks like a Dark Night Elf.” Angela remarked.

“Locke, what do you think?” Tanaya asked again.

“I don’t know, why don’t you ask the swamp ant?” Locke was also confused.

“Swamp ant?”

“Sorcerer Ivan seems to owe that person money for the wine.”

The swamp ant thought for a moment and gave a seemingly unreliable reason.

In fact, Ivan really hadn’t paid for the wine, after all, the Imperial Court Wine he got, whether a thousand or four thousand years old, were all taken for free from the other party.

Based on this, he could not stand idly by.

“Shadow Power?”

Ivan was not only an Arcane Wizard but also had profound space abilities, catching up with the spider beast with his speed was easy, and of course, the first step was to rescue.

A streak of flame shot through the sky, accurately scorching towards the net dragging its prey.

No matter how densely woven the net was, it could not withstand the burning of the flames.

However, at the critical moment, the body of the spider beast and the net suddenly shadowed, becoming semi-illusory, just avoiding the attack of the scorching flame.

Ivan saw clearly, it was a kind of shadow power, yet it was somewhat different.

The spider beast roared discontentedly, but knowing that the enemy behind was not easy to provoke, it did not turn back to confront but instead sped forward, sweeping across the sky like a dark streak.

“Thinking of escaping, you wish too much.”

Ivan gauged the strength of the spider beast, roughly the same as that of a shadow guard, each possessing abilities that had reached Level 4 pseudo-lord.

Such an opponent, although tricky, could not escape from his palm.

As his soul moved, nine slim scale-less bizarre pythons emerged, reaching the spider beast in the blink of an eye and snatching from all directions.

The next second, the body of the spider beast was like a sieve, thoroughly punctured.

A delicate figure fell from the sky, and Ivan flashed by, already holding her in his arms, a soft touch transmitted.

Lu Lu Xiyu, the top matriarch of the Dark Night Elf Clan.

This noblest woman of the Kemor Empire now appeared so pitiful and delicate; her unconsciously furrowed brows exhibited a kind of different grace.

Ivan also noticed an abnormal blush on Lu Lu Xiyu’s face, she must have been poisoned with an aphrodisiac poison.

“So, it turns out to be an indecent spider.”

He glanced at the already fallen corpse and couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.

According to certain cliché plots in popular novels, confronting this situation, using one’s body as medicine could relieve the aphrodisiac poison, but he is a sorcerer, with plenty of methods.

He waved his hand lightly, pulling out strands of deep red smoke from inside Lu Lu Xiyu’s body, instantly burning it to nothing.

Once the aphrodisiac poison was relieved, Lu Lu Xiyu murmured from her mouth, then slowly opened her eyes.

“Sorcerer Ivan, my dear prince, it’s so good to see you, I knew you would come to rescue me.”

Lu Lu Xiyu recognized Ivan instantly, her face, capable of mesmerizing everyone, smiled, cooing towards him like coquettishly, her voice tender and thrilling.

Not far away, Tanaya and others arrived, just in time to witness this scene.

Tanaya looked at the swamp ant with an inquiring gaze, seemingly asking, wasn’t it about owing money for the wine? What did this mean then?

As the legitimate ‘Mrs. Marichadon’, she naturally cared about this issue.

The swamp ant looked slightly embarrassed, but it was hard to read any expression on its face, pretending not to see.

Little did they know, Ivan was also confused; besides the matter of the Imperial Court Wine, it seemed there were no other relations with Lu Lu Xiyu, could aphrodisiac poison cause memory or thought confusion?

It seems this poison needs to be dealt with more deeply.
