I Am Doing Daily Tasks in the Wizarding World

“My treasures are here,” the bone dragon announced as it led Lynn to a desolate expanse of white bones.

The ground was littered with thick layers of bones, forming a vast plain. Rising from this eerie landscape were rolling hills covered with an abundance of serpent trees. Lynn had seen these peculiar creatures before, the type that had coiled around the entire balloon of Harin’s floating airship.

However, the serpent trees here were much larger than those on the airship. These serpent trees twisted and intertwined, their roots forming a complex network that resembled tangled skeins of yarn, creating a vast, uneven, hollow sphere.

These serpent trees were said to be the offspring of the demigod-level entity, Gönilongen. Gönilongen was the origin of all serpent trees in the Abyss and could be considered the father or mother of these trees.

Although the serpent trees looked menacing, they had a notable weakness: they were extremely fearful of fire. They would not actively attack creatures holding torches or any flaming objects. The size of the serpent trees also correlated with their level of strength.

The tangled mass of serpent trees before them had grown so densely that it almost resembled a mountain range. If an ordinary person were to fall into this entangled forest, they would be quickly drained of every last drop of blood, leaving behind nothing but a desiccated corpse.

The serpent trees’ favorite food was blood. For the bone dragon, a mere skeleton with no blood, these trees considered it no more valuable than a rock.

As the bone dragon descended, the serpent trees below seemed to stir and come alive. Their roots writhed and twisted with anticipation. The soul flame in the bone dragon’s eye sockets flickered slightly.

Lynn narrowed his eyes, sensing that the bone dragon might not be entirely trustworthy. He slid his magic staff into the cavity on top of the dragon’s skull, silently beginning an incantation for an ‘Interlocking Lightning’ spell.

The bone dragon hovered in the air and then rumbled, “How about you all wait for me outside, and I’ll retrieve my treasures and bring them to you?”

“Sure, just find a clear spot to drop us off,” Lynn replied.

The bone dragon then flew away from the serpent tree mountains, finding a spacious plain where it landed. The fly demon and the four-armed brute force demon dismounted from its back and touched down on the ground.

“I’ll go retrieve my treasures first,” the bone dragon said, trailing off.

Lightning erupted from Lynn’s magic staff, casting a blinding brilliance!

Crackling~

Crackling and sizzling, the bolts of lightning shattered the soul flame within the bone dragon’s skull.

“Trust is given only once, and unfortunately, you didn’t seize the opportunity,” Lynn said coldly, his gaze fixed on the bone dragon’s eye sockets as the lightning obliterated the soul flame completely.

The massive bone dragon was truly dead this time, without a shadow of a doubt.

After jumping off the back of the bone dragon, Lynn stored its corpse in his spatial ring.

The bone dragon definitely knew about the existence of these serpent trees and their thirst for blood. Had it been someone less informed about the serpent trees, they might have let the bone dragon fly them down. 𝑅𝘼Ɲo͍𝔟Ё§

As for the outcome, being surrounded by so many serpent trees, even if they didn’t die, it would give the bone dragon ample time to escape.

“This is quite a hassle, flying all this way,” Lynn sighed. “With such a large hole in its head, it won’t fetch a good price. I should learn a soul attack spell in the future to preserve the freshness of corpses.”

He glanced at the horizon. “We’re almost at the edge of this layer of the Abyss, aren’t we?”

“Not quite; the Abyss is still quite vast,” the fly demon replied.

The landscape ahead and the land beneath them almost blended into one another, with the colors and scenery seeming like a mere replication of the surrounding soil. The Abyss was monotonous and dreary.

As Lynn prepared to leave, a flash of deep purple light suddenly streaked across the distant sky.

This deep purple light was peculiar, resembling spiderwebs drawn across the canvas of the sky.

Lynn paused, noticing a faint sound emanating from that direction. As he approached, he realized that the serpent trees avoided this area, as if this direction was a great danger to them.

These instinct-driven serpent trees naturally avoided such threats.

Lynn withdrew his gaze and rubbed his ring on his finger, preparing to return to Demon City.

A golden-red circle spread out as Lynn stepped into it.

The surroundings grew dark, and the air was charged with a particularly violent energy. Lynn’s senses quickly alerted him, prompting him to consider retreating.

The sudden pain at the back of Lynn’s head made him lose consciousness. Before everything went dark, he faintly heard someone say, “Hmm, how did we hook a person?”

When Lynn regained his senses, he had no idea how much time had passed. As he came to, he found himself lying on a bed.

A familiar voice reached his ears. “How careless of you. How did you end up here?”

Lynn turned his head and saw Harin sitting beside the bed.

He attempted to sit up, but the pain in his head was excruciating, and his whole body felt sore.

“Teacher Harin?!” 

Lynn exclaimed, startled. Could it be that he was the one who knocked him out with a club?

“Ahahaha, sorry about that. My friend and I were fishing, and we accidentally reeled you in,” came a voice from outside the room. A man with a scruffy beard entered, looking apologetic.

“I didn’t expect you to know Harin. It was a complete accident,” the bearded man said, glancing at Harin.

Lynn’s lips twitched. So, if he hadn’t known Harin, he might have actually been slaughtered like a fish.

Lynn was not angry. He knew getting angry would be futile at this point.

He was just relieved that he had run into Harin in this situation.

“Where am I?” Lynn asked in confusion.

“Don’t ask. If you do, you’ll probably end up staying here until the experiment is over,” Harin replied.

Lynn nodded in silence. He knew Harin wasn’t joking about such matters. Some things were best left unknown, and certain confidential experiments required that participants remain within the experimental area until completion.

“Alright, stop scaring the kid. The consequences aren’t that severe,” the bearded man said reassuringly. “After the experiment ends, you’ll be able to leave. You might even get the chance to join our experiments here. Harin says you have quite a talent. Who knows, you might become an official wizard if you stay here for a few decades.”

Lynn was speechless. You really know how to comfort people.

“I’ll send you back,” Harin said, retrieving a small, black vial from his pocket and tossing it to Lynn. “This is the compensation he promised you.”

Lynn caught the vial and looked down at it. The glass container held what appeared to be a swirling mass of black ink.

“This is the essence of a shadow demon’s bloodline, a very pure one. You’ll find out how to use it once you get back,” Harin explained.

Harin led Lynn out of the room, with the bearded man following behind them, one on each side. 

Lynn noticed that the place where he had been staying was a temporary alchemical workshop, similar to his own Alchemy Laboratory. 

The surroundings were an unusual space, comprised of countless cross-sections of circles, creating a complex and disorienting landscape. The edges were marked by black lines, which, upon closer inspection, were not actual lines but merely the remnants of deep, shadowy voids left behind from the cut sections.

These circles were in constant, gentle rotation. For some unfathomable reason, Lynn couldn’t shake the image of a flush toilet bowl from his mind.

Beneath his feet lay a patch of black soil, its texture reminiscent of soft, mushy mud.

Harin guided Lynn to a nearby area where a circular hole had been carved into the ground. The hole was adorned with layers upon layers of circles within it. Darkness, despair, and destruction intermingled within this pit, creating a sense of an endless abyss. Lynn blinked and quickly averted his gaze, not wanting to look directly at it any longer.

“Ah, another fish has taken the bait. Just a moment,” the bearded man suddenly exclaimed with excitement.

Lynn watched as ripples spread across the surface of the circular hole. Gradually, a ghostly figure began to solidify from within.

The bearded man moved skillfully behind the newly materialized figure. From his pocket, he produced an object resembling a small mallet and brought it down forcefully on the figure’s head!

Lynn’s eyes widened. It was obviously the first time he saw this scene, but he didn’t know why he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He inhaled sharply and instinctively placed a hand on the back of his own head.

There was a round little bump there.

The figure, just solidified, was directly knocked unconscious by the mallet strike.

Lynn’s eyes widened in disbelief as he observed the scene before him. The creature lying on the ground was a dual-scythe slayer demon, a master of battlefield assassination known for its expertise in flickering and teleporting. But such a demon proficient in assassination was actually knocked down by a mallet.

Lynn couldn’t help but touch the back of his own head again. Is my skull so strong?

“That mallet is a semi-artifact imbued with divine power,” Harin saw Lynn’s expression and guessed his thoughts. “Its special effect is to induce dizziness. However, it has a critical flaw—it can’t kill the enemy, no matter how hard you strike.”

“There’s actually a weapon like this.” Lynn remarked with a strange expression. This kind of weapon seems designed specifically for knocking people out!

As he dragged out the dual-scythe slayer demon, the bearded man grinned and said, “Dead prey isn’t worth much. Alive, however, they’re far more valuable. Don’t be fooled by their disdainful looks; deep down, these guys are dying to get their hands on my treasures.”
