Chapter 643: Chapter 405: Magical Transformation of All Things_2

The moment they left the protection of the City-Protection Talisman Array, the talisman drawn by Lord Owen Bertram immediately took effect, shielding both himself and Magpie from the evil energy. Owen Bertram wasn’t afraid for himself, but mainly wanted to protect Magpie.

It felt like they were back in the Village at that instant!

The surroundings were foggy and mysterious. From time to time, strange noises could be heard, like the painful screams of ghosts or the whispers of some unknown presence. Some noises seemed to come from afar, carried by the wind, while others sounded as if they were exploding right next to their ears.

Not to mention ordinary people, even high-level cultivators with insufficient mental cultivation would immediately undergo Demonic Transformation when exposed to such an environment!

Owen Bertram tried to figure out the direction but the evil fog was even more advanced than the one in Extinct Village, affecting the surrounding environment. Looking around, all he could see were rolling hills and mountains, near and far, up and down. When he looked back, Prefecture City had disappeared, and he was lost.

Owen Bertram communicated with the earth, but it was silent and lifeless in response.

Owen Bertram took out the Spirit Wave Ancient Zither and gently plucked the strings. The feedback from the surrounding environment indicated that the landscape hadn’t actually changed – it was just an illusion.

Based on the Spirit Wave feedback, Owen Bertram roughly figured out the surrounding terrain, discerned a direction, and instructed Magpie to fly towards the Thousand Household Office.

During the journey, Owen Bertram ordered: "Dave, test the influence of this evil energy on the Ghost Spirit."

"Yes, Master," Little Ghost Gregory Ryan replied as he emerged from Magpie’s feathers and stretched out one hand beyond the protective radius of the talisman. The ghostly hand immediately swelled and inflated like a balloon to the size of a calf, with countless small "Daves" suddenly appearing on its surface, some smiling slyly, some furiously, some indifferently, and some recklessly.

Gregory Ryan, frightened, let out a strange cry, and with his other hand, he quickly lifted the Vajra Pestle to sever the inflated arm.

A new arm quickly grew back from the severed one, and Gregory Ryan, in shock, watched as the countless miniature versions of himself broke apart and seemed to become real as they landed in the fog.

Eventually, the many "Daves" gradually dissipated and disappeared into the fog. But Gregory Ryan felt as if each "doppelganger" stared coldly at him as it vanished.

"How is it?" Owen Bertram asked, to which Gregory Ryan replied with some fear: "Very bad, Master! I’m afraid this evil energy is of the highest rank. It can transform everything in the world, not just living beings, but also the air, soil, and rocks – they’ll all become strange over time!"

Owen Bertram agreed wholeheartedly. When he couldn’t determine the direction earlier, it could have been due to an illusion or an environment on the brink of transformation but not yet completed.

Gregory Ryan then said, "I would like to ask the Master to restrain me."

Magpie expressed shock, cheeping sharply, and Gregory Ryan replied, "Just now... I felt like I was being watched by something."

Owen Bertram thought for a moment and said, "It’s best to be cautious." So he restrained Gregory Ryan, put him into Joseph Gourd, and had Brother keep an eye on him. With Little Ghost Gregory’s negligible combat abilities, Master didn’t lose much.

Owen Bertram and Magpie continued flying in a fixed direction. The fog ahead was unpredictable, and Magpie didn’t dare to fly too fast. However, they hadn’t encountered a single living creature this whole time, which made Owen Bertram increasingly anxious.

Prefecture City had numerous surrounding villages and countless birds and beasts living in the woods. So where had all these living beings gone after the Demonic Transformation?!

Master pat Magpie’s neck gently and whispered, "Be careful."

Master himself quietly took out the Spirit Wave Ancient Zither and continuously used it to probe the surrounding environment. Suddenly, the returning Spirit Wave outlined a massive object!

It was only a few thousand feet away from Owen Bertram and Magpie and rapidly approaching.

Just as Owen Bertram warned Magpie, he saw a huge dark shadow swirling in the fog, charging towards them. Magpie turned and swiped her tail, shattering the object. However, instead of dispersing, the fragments mysteriously reformed into their original shape and flew in another direction.

"Is that... a Military Fortress?" Owen Bertram wondered. The only Military Fortress around here was the Lord of the Horizon Bureau’s! But it was so huge, how could it have possibly taken flight? And if Magpie broke it with one swipe, how could it instantly reform?

"The Thousand Household Office might be the origin of the Magic Wave outbreak, and should have been the first to be affected by the evil energy. It must have undergone Demonic Transformation..." The only reason it fled after one swipe of Magpie’s tail was that the transformation wasn’t complete yet.

However, when Owen Bertram looked at the Military Fortress disappearing into the fog again, he suddenly saw multiple ghostly faces sticking out of the fortress’s windows. They appeared for a moment then vanished along with the fortress!

It was those "Daves"! Master Owen Bertram was sure of it, and the evil energy grew even more mysterious.

But Magpie remained carefree and unafraid, flapping her wings steadily and flying in a certain direction.

Owen Bertram hesitated: With the Thousand Household Office now airborne, where should he head next? He was inclined to pursue it, but the many "Daves" made him think twice.
