Wizard System: Dissecting a Mutated Monster From the Start - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Preparing to Go to the End of the World

Trembling, he opened the letter. As he read the content, his expression turned complicated.

In the end, his anger turned into a deep sense of helplessness!

Edward’s surprise was that he had already cursed the entire Royal Family’s bloodline.

Ever since his curiosity got the better of him and he opened the box to see the bone, he was destined to not have much time left.

Originally, he had wanted to mobilize his troops to attack the Feylan Family, but when he thought about how his entire bloodline was being controlled by Edward, his heart clenched in pain.

Why did he provoke that monster?

————

A day passed.

Regarding the cathedral, even if the Royal Family gave a relevant explanation, the masses were still in a state of panic, unable to accept it, afraid that they would be the next to die!

Before the storm passed, a piece of news that shook the entire country’s citizens spread out!

King Levi was about to abdicate!!

No one knew what the word “abdication” meant. After some explanation, they were all shocked.

The king, who had wanted to perish together with Edward, suddenly realized that Duke Ják and Duke Golin had seized control of his elite troops.

As the Golin territory was at the intersection of two countries, there were naturally a large number of warriors guarding the borders.

With the effect of the loyalty alchemy potion Edward gave Duke Ják, they all chose to submit!

As for how Duke Ják managed to convince Duke Golin, no one knew—except Edward’s mother.

The only bargaining chip that could be used against Edward was taken away, and King Levi’s aged heart was crushed.

Just so that his successor could better control the kingdom, he had caused the downfall of the entire empire.

The Levi Empire had changed its name to the Feylan Empire!

Furthermore, the Levi Family went from ruler to noble.

With this even more explosive news, the death of the Archbishop and the massacre of the cathedral seemed insignificant.

King Levi, who had been questioned by various nobles and was at the center of the storm, did not give any explanation!

Despite being affected by the curse, he did not want to die yet, or rather, he did not want his bloodline to end here!

The best solution now was to abdicate!

As long as he was still alive, he believed that he could definitely find a way to lift the curse.

As the 12th King, he also knew about the rumors regarding the entire world.

However, he had no choice but to live on!

Everything happened in just a week!

The surrounding countries all knew about this coup, and the countries that had been in war with the Levi Empire all sent their congratulations.

They were prepared to make new alliances.

The countries that were on good terms with Levi chose to send people to gather information to see if they were worthy of being allies.

In short, for the first few months, Duke Ják, who had already become the King, was extremely busy!

At first, Ják had mixed feelings. Edward had actually done it, leaving the name of the Feylan Family down in history.

But this complicated feeling gradually vanished as he got busier.

Their family could now enjoy endless wealth and glory!

All of the members of the Feylan Family were extremely excited. They had never thought that they would one day become members of the Royal Family!

Edward, who had stayed at home for two months, was going to begin his journey now!

His father, Ják, knew what he was planning. After a brief exchange, Edward had left behind information about the golem and devices that could control it.

When they found out that Edward was leaving the Feylan Empire, a few of the heirs who were still studying in the capital institute came forward to see him off in an excited manner.

To an ordinary person, they would think that these were brothers who shared a tight relationship!

————

Although it was called a barren island by the outside world, in reality, the continent was extremely vast. Almost no one knew where the end point of the continent was. Only the empires near the edge of the continent would know that there was no limit to the sea outside.

The system listed two paths in front of Edward.

One was to be a traveling wizard who could go to the ends of the world by sailing.

The other was the crucial information obtained from the ruins. In the southwest direction of the continent, there was a teleportation formation left behind by a traveling wizard. It could lead to the Wizard World at the end of the world.

However, that teleportation formation had been made thousands of years ago and no one had used it for a long time. He did not know if it could still be activated!

Edward preferred the second suggestion.

He started searching for the abandoned teleportation formation.

According to the location given by the ruins, the system gave a rough location based on the changes of a thousand years.

Shepherd Forest!

This was not only a notorious vampire hometown, but also contained the terrifying legends of werewolves, ghouls, and witches.

For half a century, this place had been attracting adventurers from all over the world. In the end, they never returned.

Many people who had been to the Shepherd Forest said that there was a strange silence inside. Under this silence, there was a strong sense of unease, as if there were people watching them.

They could even hear strange wails!

There were mysterious scratches on their bodies and they were even pushed down from behind for no reason.

Compared to the Black Forest and the Golin Mountain Range, this place had more characteristics of the mysterious power.

Edward had once investigated the information of this forest.

It was just that the distance between the two countries made him rule it out.

About four months into the journey, Edward reached the Shepherd Forest alone.

He was the only one on this journey. There was no need for the knights to bring him along as he was already strong enough.

Edward lifted his hood and calmly walked into the Shepherd Forest, which the locals called “Death”.

At the same time, he had the system scan the area.

The Shepherd Forest was different from the other forests Edward had been to. The trees here were all thin and crooked.

There were very few tall trees.

It was autumn now, and it was early in the morning.

The fog shrouded the bare Shepherd Forest, making it look extremely eerie and terrifying.

Edward also noticed that the entire forest was deathly silent. There were no chirps of birds or insects, and even the ground was filled with withered weeds and leaves.

It was very similar to the scene in the legendary stories of this place.

Edward’s footsteps were the only sound in the dead forest. His boots made crisp sounds as he stepped on the dried leaves, and he gradually entered the forest.

At that moment, the system sounded an alarm!
