Werewolf wizard

Chapter 69: The Path of the Wizard and Dual Casting

In the Secret Realm, within my inner world, on the Path of the Wizard, the black fireball insect about to crash into Su Nan was neutralized by the doubled fireball insect cast by Su Nan.

The orange-red fireball and the black fireball intertwined and completely disappeared.

Su Nan spoke to the existence hidden in the darkness: "I borrow the constructs from reality, such as my Angel Statue Soldier No. 1, and through the wolf pack connection, they chant the same incantation as me at the same moment."

"In this way, it's equivalent to me chanting the incantation twice at the same time. You can also think of Angel Statue No. 1 as my vocal proxy."

"I call this casting method Dual Casting."

The voice in the darkness was impatient, "No need to probe me anymore. I know all your thoughts, I understand all your magic. I knew from the very beginning that you would use this little trick."

"I am you, but you are not me, Su Nan Peter, do you understand?!"

From the darkness, a gray version of Su Nan Peter, devoid of any color, walked across the void of the Mind's Hollow, approaching himself.

Although Su Nan had anticipated this, his expression still turned grave as he watched him approach.

This was practically another version of himself.

But more violent, more cruel, his magic filled with malice. He had to use the small trick of dual incantation to counteract his magic.

He was like his own instinct, the malice within his heart.

It was precisely because this thing began to rebel that his magic power and magical strength began to decline.

No wonder that even two thousand years ago, when the wizard civilization was at its peak in this land, most wizards would choose to skip Mind Meditation and forcefully subdue their inner selves with secret methods, copying the magical path of their mentors.

Ceasing the true exploration of truth.

But Su Nan felt that it was still necessary for him to undergo Mind Meditation; otherwise, he would only be an engineer using magical tools, and not a scientist—a wizard—exploring the truth of the world.

Although engineers could also be powerful, since he had access to magic in this life, he might as well go further and explore the highest level of magical secrets.

Su Nan looked at Gray Nan and said, "If you are a part of my heart, then why, as the subject of self-awareness, can I only walk on the Path of the Wizard, while you can walk above the abyss of my Mind's Hollow without fear of falling?"

"Is there some secret to this?"

The gray version of Su Nan revealed a disdainful smile. "How laughable. You seemed to relax slightly the moment you saw me. Did you feel a sense of relief because the enemy was no longer unknown and the problem could be solved with analysis?"

"How laughable."

"I am different from you on a dimensional level."

"I am the thing that makes you truly powerful, but why do you stop me from taking it a step further every time I want you to better implement your interests, your instincts?"

"Are you afraid of this Mind's Abyss?"

"Hahahaha, how laughable."

"A person in his own inner world is afraid of being swallowed by his own Mind's Abyss, and can only pitifully walk on that stifled path. I ask you, why don't you retreat, why are you so determined to become a wizard?"

Gray Su Nan looked at Su Nan, filled with contempt, and waved his hand, "If you need powerful strength, walking the path of the knight wouldn't be difficult for you now, would it?"

"As long as you solve a few minor problems, you can deceive the Lord of Storms."

"If you extract bloodline essence from the corpses of those bloodline warlocks and become a warlock yourself… it wouldn't be very difficult for you, would it?"

"Then, what exactly is the reason you are walking on that path?"

Gray Nan sneered. "Clearly, you could use werewolf potions to turn half of the territory's people into werewolves, even if most of them would die, be crippled, or go mad because of your crude application of magic, even if you couldn't control so many werewolves, even if the whole world would be destroyed, what does any of that matter to you?"

"I ask you, when two beings have the same magical power, the same understanding of magic, and the same magical formulas, how will the magical power of these two beings determine victory?"

Su Nan frowned; he hadn't expected the wizard's mental problems to evolve to such a degree.

Indeed, a normal person's mind is healthy, but when a wizard increases their mental strength by 20 times, psychological problems that would normally be impossible to exist independently in an ordinary person's mind and would vanish in an instant are similarly amplified to the point they are now.

Su Nan chanted the incantation to summon a Lesser Fireball Insect.

At the same time, the angel statue in front of the fountain at the gate of Peter Castle actually began to chant the incantation as well, chanting while walking.

Each step made a huge sound.

The werewolf butler, Warwick, had already evacuated the crowd in advance and sealed off the castle. In addition, the three major forces near the territory were now focusing their attention on the entrance to the Four Seasons Garden, so at this moment, not many people noticed the abnormality of the angel statue.

Only a small number of maids and manservants inside the castle saw it, but they already knew a little bit of the inside story, and after the head maid, Pella, reprimanded and guided them a few words, these people went back to work one by one, completely forgetting what they had seen.

These servants had served the Peter family for many years, even generations, and had long cultivated a good degree of loyalty.

In the Secret Realm, Gray Nan suddenly laughed when he saw Su Nan chanting the incantation again. "Let me ask you another question, do you think I can use dual incantations?"

"Forget it, I'll just tell you the answer."

"You have the wolf pack effect and construct servants; I have them too."

In the next moment, he chanted the incantation to summon a Lesser Fireball Insect, and his chanting speed was even faster than Su Nan's.

A huge fireball like a black sun appeared between Su Nan and Gray Nan.

At the same time, a minotaur obsidian statue in front of the Peter Territory castle gate in the material plane also began to chant the incantation that Gray Nan was chanting.

This was clearly Dual Casting.

Head Maid Pella stood at the gate, watching the minotaur statue chanting the incantation, muttering to herself. "I hope Lord Su Nan is all right."

"You are the backbone of our territory, no… the pillar of the home for all of us. As long as you are here, this stable and warm little home will still be here. Lord Su Nan, please be all right."

In the Secret Realm, Vasilian walked on the wasteland. He looked at the Orr Guardian and pressed him, "Where is Lord Su Nan? I want to help him."

"Tell me, where is the Lord?"

The Orr Guardian ignored Vasilian's threat and instead looked at the place where Su Nan had disappeared in the Secret Realm before. In fact, Orr was also worried, but he remained silent when he was worried.

Two thousand years ago, wizards who could pass the Mind Meditation stage on their own power could become formal wizards in the end, as long as they didn't die young!

But because of this, very few wizards could truly pass the stage on their own.

In the entire history of the Gray Earth Graveyard School, there were fewer than three such people.

So, some people once proposed a seemingly absurd but reasonable idea: a mature magical civilization should allow wizards to come into contact with Mind Meditation later, focusing only on the study of spells and the physical world.

Because people who could pass Mind Meditation were geniuses among geniuses, but such theoretical geniuses were too few.

For magical civilization to be passed down, it still needed some technical geniuses to practice.

Moreover, with the theoretical reserves of magical civilization at that time, it was enough for those technical geniuses to combine existing theories, explore existing theories, and create powerful magic.

It was just that later, the wizarding society that adhered to this concept encountered an enemy they had never encountered before: the Energy World.

Orr said worriedly, "Lord Su Nan, I hope you can pass your own test. For a genius like you, the most terrifying enemy is probably yourself."

"No, perhaps the more genius a person is, the more terrifying it is to undergo Mind Meditation."

"Because you demand too much of yourself and become incredibly angry when you see your own flaws."

"Lord Su Nan, you must make your heart understand that you are its master."

"You must succeed."

…

In the Secret Realm, Su Nan's expression changed slightly.

He had long anticipated that his enemy would be some character within his own heart, so he had laid out a plan in advance, allowing the constructs outside his inner world to serve as his external support in this inner world battle.

But he didn't expect that he, as himself, would actually directly seize his external arrangements from within his inner world.

There was no way around it; the other party was himself.
