Diary of a Dead Wizard

Chapter 1006: Role Reversal


Kismet was very busy.

He knew the inside of the abyss was extremely dangerous, and he knew that even as a fourth-rank wizard, surviving and getting out alive would be very difficult.

But he still followed Saul into the abyss without any hesitation.

He just hadn’t expected that in the abyss, not only would he have to work hard to save his own life, but he’d also have to work hard to save the life of the daydreaming Saul.

Although he was still happy about the trust Saul had shown him, as time went on, it was truly exhausting.

Saul wasn’t unaware of Kismet’s difficulties at this moment, but he was about to observe and calculate the anchor point’s fluctuation characteristics.

Only in this quiet space with its peculiar force field could he so clearly find the anchor point’s fluctuation frequency patterns through the movement patterns of his own contaminated limb powder.

As time passed, there was no longer just the cheetah anchor point monster in this space.

As the two continued deeper into the abyss, more and more spatial rifts appeared, and anchor point monsters emerged from the cracks one by one.

By now they were surrounded by a “cheetah,” an “eagle,” three “humans,” and it looked like a sixth anchor point monster was about to appear.

No matter how powerful Kismet was, he had never fought so many powerful anchor point monsters while needing to protect someone.

In the end, he didn’t even have time to use his harp and could only drag Saul around in a desperate flight.

Because he had to actively exert force, many of Kismet’s organs underwent strange distortions. With no time to repair them, he could only look like a completely mutated monster.

Conversely, Saul, because he was moving with Kismet’s power, didn’t undergo any further mutations himself.

After dodging the siege of five anchor point monsters again, Kismet finally ran out of energy and had his heart directly ripped out by the sixth monster that suddenly appeared behind him.

This was after he had barely dodged at the last moment—otherwise the newly appeared anchor point monster had originally aimed for his spine.

That is, the tube that had evolved into Kismet’s entire body.

But even though he hadn’t been injured in a truly vital spot, Kismet’s torso injury still directly affected his soul body.

Powerful twisting forces began turning his body inside out from within. Skin and muscle turned inward while bones and organs turned outward.

This twisting force reached Kismet’s neck in just a few breaths and continued spreading toward his brain.

Kismet couldn’t even move anymore. He could only glare at Saul with the corner of his eye, thinking: “My little brother master , if you don’t give some reaction soon, I can only escort you this far! Don’t forget to collect my soul into the diary!!!”

Just when Kismet thought he would most likely die once, Saul suddenly moved.

Not only did he move, but his body, which had been damaged to the point of being almost just a skull, also began to grow.

First to move was the skull, which turned 15 degrees, changing from facing Kismet’s profile to facing the new anchor point monster that was sneak-attacking Kismet from behind.

There was only one hand there.

The arm was very long—the upper and lower arm combined were three meters long, obviously not a human arm.

The palm bones were also very large. Kismet’s normal-sized heart looked like a small walnut in the monster’s hand. With a light squeeze, it instantly exploded into powder.

Next, Saul’s collarbone led his shoulder blade in making the preparatory motion of raising an arm, and his long-vanished humerus regrew with this motion.

When Saul completed this action entirely, even the finger bones at the end of his arm had finished growing and grasped the wrist of the anchor point that was currently inserted in Kismet’s back.

Saul twisted and pulled, directly extracting the arm anchor point from Kismet’s body.

Kismet convulsed all over, and his face couldn’t help showing the first expression of pain. But the reversal on his body had stopped and was gradually turning back bit by bit.

The arm grasped by Saul twisted its wrist, wanting to grab Saul in return.

The monster arm’s finger joints were very long, almost hooking into Saul’s skull, but Saul had already regrown another arm and backhanded to snap off a section of the anchor point’s finger bone.

More miraculous still, when that section of finger bone was snapped off, it immediately disappeared from the entire space without a trace.

Kismet, who had been watching Saul, immediately narrowed his eyes—except he forgot that one of his eyes no longer had an eyelid, making his expression very strange.

After Saul dismembered a section of the anchor point, the other anchor point monsters seemed to realize something was wrong. They no longer bothered with the exhausted Kismet beside them and all charged toward Saul alone.

But Saul showed no fear. With just one arm blocking left and right, he knocked aside several monsters that charged at him.

“It’s hard to use magic power here, so it’s changed to physical attacks instead.” Saul was amused inwardly, though with barely any flesh on his face, he couldn’t make any expression.

Several anchor points seemed to realize they couldn’t hurt Saul and turned back to trouble Kismet.

As a result, Saul dismantled two more sections of the arm anchor point here. Most terrifyingly, these dismantled sections also vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Kismet immediately led several anchor point monsters charging to Saul’s side.

Saul had just been protected by Kismet for so long. Now that he had a new discovery, he naturally wouldn’t let his injured subordinate continue taking hits.

He stopped his dismantling work again and directly embraced the huge arm, sweeping forward and once again knocking back the five anchor point monsters.

“That’s about enough.”

Saul placed anchor point fragments of different sizes into the Symphony of Fate’s space, together with the original anchor point fragments inside.

These anchor point fragments began fusing after entering the space. By the time Saul knocked back the anchor point monsters for the second time, the fusion was complete.

He split his attention to look—besides the horn that had appeared before, the original bird skeleton now had an additional hand growing behind its claws.

The anchor points that entered the space had indeed all merged together.

Moreover, these anchor points, like the very first one, brought Saul no burden at all. They just quietly stayed in the space.

Their obedience was comparable to the diary’s.

Seeing this situation, Saul finally became bold. He no longer experimented with small pieces but directly stuffed the entire nearly three-meter-long giant arm into the space.

When the entire arm anchor point disappeared, the monsters that had been about to continue attacking the two of them suddenly quieted down.

These monsters apparently weren’t completely mad either. Upon discovering they couldn’t affect Saul and would be captured by him in return, these anchor points finally chose to flee.

But this time, it was Saul who actively hunted them!

Saul moved rapidly through the space, his body constantly disintegrating with movement, but this time he didn’t stint on fate power, continuously repairing his body and improving his movement speed as much as possible.

After several failed pounces, Saul finally found some patterns for moving in this force field-chaotic space.

That is, when moving, different parts of the body had to respond to the force fields appearing in each section to determine the direction and magnitude of force application.

It was like one person simultaneously controlling their limbs to do different things, while what Saul had to do was divide things even more precisely.

After mastering the secrets of movement, Saul accelerated again and grabbed for the cheetah anchor point that had first attacked them.

The several anchor point monsters hadn’t expected Saul’s speed to increase again. They were slow to react for a moment, and the cheetah anchor point that fell to the rear was grabbed by the hind leg by Saul.

As soon as Saul caught the cheetah, he immediately sent it into the space.

For a moment, the remaining anchor points trembled with fear.

The roles of hunter and prey had actually reversed!
