After it was confirmed that the person who signed the name was gone, Xia Xiu raised the wand in his hand and waved it at the blazing forest fire.

Accompanied by a huge [∞] symbol, the powerful wind extinguished the surrounding fires in an instant.

After doing this, he turned his eyes again to Derek Hollins in front of him, the black-robed operator who had been possessed by the Son of Spread.

The right side of Derek's cheek had returned to normal, and although his life force was nearly exhausted, he was fully conscious.

He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the blond young man squatting in front of him, with uncontrollable excitement and gratitude on his face.

"Director..." Derek shouted weakly, with a tremor in his voice.

The pain was tearing at his body, but compared to the inescapable darkness possessing him, being able to see Xia Xiu by his side gave him a sense of comfort.

Xia Xiu's face was soft, with compassion and silent pain in his eyes.

He gently raised his wand. Wearing the [Crown of Thorns] on his head, he had the most powerful spiritual and energy blessings. At this moment, he pointed at Derek's chest and released three powerful magic spells in succession.

[Leverage of the Sky-Fantasy Particle Transfer——]

[Lever of Heaven-Damage Lever——]

[Out of Control World-Death Tolerance——]

These glimmers of light fell on Derek's wounds like drizzle, easing his physical decay. The lever pried away the severe pain in his body, and the "Out of Control World" prolonged his death.

However, Xia Xiu knew that even if he could make Derek no longer suffer, the operator's life still could not be saved.

He has been corrupted by the Named One for too long, and his spirituality has withered.

Xia Xiu couldn't stop Derek's life from gradually disappearing.

As the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, facing the decline of his subordinates, at this moment, he can only make them walk more peacefully.

Derek looked at the director squatting next to him, his eyes full of gratitude and deep awe. He weakly raised his hand, trying to grab something.

Xia Xiu did not hesitate, stretched out his clean hand, and held Derek's hand that was stained with mud and blood.

Derek finally couldn't control it at that moment, his tears fell silently, and along with weak sobs, he began to cry bitterly.

"Director...am I going to die..."

Then, without waiting for Xia Xiu's answer, he continued:

"I know this is cowardly, but I am afraid of death..."

Xia Xiu looked down at him, his golden eyes flashing with complex emotions, but more of them were filled with deep compassion.

He held Derek's hand tightly, his voice soft but firm.

"Crying is just a sign of sadness, giving up is a sign of cowardice - in the face of death, you made a desperate move and did not run away."

"So, you're not weak, Derek."

Derek's hand trembled slightly, and he held the director's hand tightly, as if he drew some kind of comfort from the angel's warm palm.

His pain has been soothed by Xia Xiu. Although the shadow of death is approaching, he will reach the end in the most peaceful way.

Derek still couldn't help crying, and cried bitterly to Xia Xiu, like a child who found his parents, telling how his operator died in this operation.

"Director..." Derek's voice gradually became weaker, but the grief was still strong.

"Adrian Serbull...he was sucked...his soul...was taken away...you should have seen it...his body...became a dry shell..."

He choked with sobs, tears welled up again, and his vision was blurred, but he still tried hard to recall the scenes that he could not let go of.

"Cassandra Wren...she...she wanted to cast a spell to save us, but her own curse backfired...I watched with my own eyes as her body...exploded from the inside, with flesh and blood splattering..."

Derek's fingers twitched slightly, as some horrific scenes were replaying in his mind.

His breathing became rapid, and his voice was filled with suppressed fear and pain.

"Eugene Rex... Director, you didn't see... his soul was torn apart... he couldn't even let out a cry of pain and died instantly... his soul... Director...

…It’s like being torn into pieces… without leaving a trace…”

His body was trembling involuntarily, and the fear and helplessness in his heart completely broke out at this moment.

His eyes were full of fear of death and endless pain of losing his companions.

"Cassandra, Oscar... they fell one after another... we... we just watched... but couldn't do anything... the curse backfired... the flames devoured... the souls were torn apart... Director...

...They...they are all dead, everyone...is dead..."

Derek burst into tears, his desperate cries echoing in the empty forest.

Xia Xiu held his hand quietly, his golden eyes still gentle, but his heart was filled with heavy sadness and... murderous intent.

Derek's voice became smoother and smoother, as if he wanted to pour out all the unspoken secrets, and his eyes showed apology and pain.

"I'm sorry, Director... before he died, he said so many cowardly words... but I really want you to know and tell you... the wizards in the Hundred Layer World... they have betrayed their treaty with the Kingdom of Heaven.

They secretly study the banned black magic and the so-called living gods... Dai Guan Zhi was awakened by them, and his signees and followers are all in the Hundred Layers World..."

At this point, Derek's eyes gradually dimmed, but his voice held a certain firmness.

Xia Xiu already had the answer in his heart. A deep coldness flashed through his eyes and he spoke slowly:

"Even members of the Order of Merlin of the International Federation of Wizards are acquiescing to their actions."

Derek nodded slightly and continued: "The evidence we found pointed to wizards from three different factions...red robes, purple robes and silver robes...First of all, we focused on Iris living in the 12th neighborhood.

Caleb Wigner, the purple-robed wizard at No. 36 Flower Street."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Derek recalled, with a painful look on his face:

"At first, we took advantage of the opportunity when he was out to catch him...and controlled him...but we couldn't get any valuable information from him, and even torture and psychological exploration were useless. Later, Adrian discovered

It turns out that he has an extremely ancient witchcraft - [Secret Keeping Curse]."

Xia Xiu naturally understands the characteristics of this spell. [Secret Keeping Curse] is one of the taboo spells in the wizarding world.

It can hide a secret deeply in the soul of the caster. Unless the keeper takes the initiative to reveal it, the secret cannot be forcibly obtained by any means.

This kind of spell can only be possessed by the most upright silver-robed wizards, and they are also from the silver-robed faction with the status of Laozheng Huangqi...

Xia Xiu frowned slightly, but said nothing, quietly waiting for Derek to continue.

"Despite this... we found another way to obtain intelligence."

Derek continued, his voice getting weaker and weaker, "Eugene... he is a patient infected with strange hoof disease. His sense of smell is different from ordinary people. He can identify the pheromones of certain people or objects that have come into contact with wizards through smell... He

His nose is sharper than that of a hound...Through his ability, we investigated multiple locations and residences that Caleb Wigner came into contact with, and found a large amount of secretly exchanged black magic materials."

Derek's eyes began to lose focus, but his lips were still trembling slightly:

"Adam helped us hack into the local black market... We tracked him through fake names. Although the wizards all used fake names, the information about the robed faction could not be concealed... In this way, we confirmed the identity of him and the other two wizards.

Identity and faction, their accomplices are wizards belonging to the red robe and silver robe factions."

Derek's team of operators was very smart. They were able to catch Caleb Wigner just by relying on some clues.

Derek's team of operators acted quickly and extremely cleverly. With some scattered clues, they directly identified the traces of the purple-robed wizard Caleb Wigner.

However, even though they showed extremely high insight and action, they still encountered strong suppression from higher-level forces in the end.

This is not only the biggest obstacle in their pursuit of the Crowned Breed, but also one of the fundamental reasons that led to the complete destruction of the Gray Harbor operator group.

Derek's narration became deeper and deeper, and the next words made Xia Xiu feel even more solemn.

"Just when we found clues about Caleb, our senior operator Victor Keyes immediately decided to report it to the Secretariat..."

Derek said, his tone full of suppressed anger and helplessness:

"However, Adam was blocked. Our peripheral lineage was maliciously blocked, unable to connect, and the entire team was isolated."

Derek's voice suddenly became deeper and his eyes became distracted, as if he had fallen into that desperate moment again:

"Then, a red-robed wizard attacked one of our stations outside, and all the operators on the station... were wiped out. When we arrived, the scene was in ruins, with only a huge red snake spitting flames, and the red snake.

The robed wizard...he uses...Parseltongue!"

"We immediately realized that the other party was a wizard from the Hundred Layer World, and belonged to one of the ancient and sacred Auror families of the International Federation of Wizards."

"Things are starting to get out of control." Derek continued, with a sense of powerlessness in his voice.

"Then things got even more confusing."

"The purple-robed wizard ran away. He is an Animagus and can change into other forms. He turned into a huge white whale and made a shrill scream."

"Then a group of white whales suddenly appeared at the port. They suddenly appeared at the port, and huge waves swept in, heading towards the temporary harbor station. The purple-robed wizard took advantage of the huge waves and ran away."

"Everything they did was carefully planned to attack the east and the west."

Derek paused, as if everything at that time was still vivid in his mind, with pain and regret:

"Our people chased them to No. 36 Iris Street, but they were a step too late. The other party had already escaped through a secret passage.

We found a contaminated diary in that hiding place, which recorded information about the named person, but we did not have time to fully contain and process it.

Adrian made a prompt decision and used his soul divination to divine the other party's whereabouts - the foggy forest."

Derek's eyes began to look hollow, and his voice became weaker and weaker:

"Captain...he immediately led everyone to the foggy forest and chased the purple-robed wizard..."
