“His infamy level is seven stars. What a terrifying fellow!”

Peter was surprised.

He was so stunned that he stood there for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Peter was curious and wanted to know the identity of this person, so he ran to ask Colot. He felt that Colot might know something.

Even though Colot was only the supervisor of apprentice wizards.

But no matter what, his status was still higher than the lowest-ranked apprentice wizards.

Upon hearing Peter’s question, Colot glanced at him, his face turning grim.

“It’s better for you not to inquire about Welch’s affairs. I’m afraid it will give you nightmares,”

Colot said mysteriously.

“Nightmares? No, I’m not scared. I have a strong nerve,”

Peter replied confidently.

Instead of deterring Peter, Colot’s words only fueled his curiosity, and he was eager to uncover the truth.

“Hmph.”

Colot snorted.

After a brief pause, he continued, “I know young folks like you are often curious, but you should understand that in this world, knowing too much isn’t always a good thing!”

Colot’s tone seemed to carry a hint of intimidation toward Peter.

Regardless, Colot proceeded to reveal information about Welch to Peter.

“You should know that apart from the deities worshipped by the kingdom, there are also forces that worship the Chaos Gods in this world.”

Colot asked Peter.

Peter nodded repeatedly.

In many horror stories, cult organizations that worship the Chaos Gods were eternal antagonists, and the Chaos Gods they worshipped were terrifying individuals.

Since he was a child, Peter’s mother often scared him with similar stories.

“Welch is a high-ranking member of a cult organization. They worship a Chaos God and have committed countless evil deeds. To apprehend him this time, they even sacrificed an Advanced Wizard.”

Colot’s words sent shivers down Peter’s spine.

At the same time, he recalled the matter of deeper underground levels. An Advanced Level 9 Wizard could only be imprisoned on the first underground floor, so what could be lurking in the deeper levels?

With this thought in mind, Peter couldn’t help but feel even more curious and asked about it.

Colot shrugged.

With a casual gesture, he said, “Actually, I’m not entirely sure what’s down there because I’m only a Junior Wizard in charge of managing apprentice wizards like you. I don’t deal with anything else…”

“Previously, there were no patrols in the underground areas of the Wizard Tower because it was too dangerous. But for some reason, the Inspector General recently decided to assign patrols. Previously, only food delivery, prisoner confinement, and interrogations were conducted in the underground areas, and no one else would enter!”

“I can clearly sense that something significant is about to happen. Not just in our Wizard Tower, but all the Wizard Towers have been strengthening their defenses. Some larger and higher-level towers have even stationed knights!”

So that’s the case!

Peter immediately understood.

However, he also realized that Colot probably didn’t have much more information about the impending events.

So, asking him would likely be in vain.

“Even so, the Inspector General only assigned you to patrol the first underground floor, not the deeper areas, because they are too dangerous.”

“But I’ve heard from the conversations among the Advanced Wizards that what’s imprisoned deeper down is even more terrifying and unimaginable.”

Colot added.

These words left a deep impression on Peter, making him wonder what else could be lurking in the lower levels.

Considering that the first floor already housed ghosts, undead, werewolves, vampires, and powerful Advanced Level 9 Wizards, how much more horrifying could the second and third floors be?

He dared not imagine!

…

In the evening, as expected, Peter accumulated enough magic power and spent 400 points of magic power to successfully upgrade himself to a level 3 Apprentice Wizard.

[Level: Apprentice Wizard, Level 3 (0/800)]

Although the required magic power for each subsequent level doubles, Peter is now able to gain 22 points of magic power per hour.

That meant he could level up again in just 37 hours.

It’s only a little less than two days!

It’s really great!

“With a higher level and stronger magic power, it should be easier for me to use the Wings of the Gale now.”

Peter thought.

At the same time, he arrived at an uninhabited place.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew, and Peter flapped his wings, flying into the air.

Then, he shot out like a bolt of lightning.

Peter’s speed was much faster than before, and he noticed that he could fly much farther now.

This gave Peter the illusion that he had become a bird!

Regardless, Peter was thrilled.

He had become even stronger!

And the magic book now recorded a powerful prisoner, bringing him more rewards!

Peter was filled with anticipation for the future!

With that in mind, Peter became curious about Welch.

He couldn’t help but open the Codex of All Realms and see what kind of things Welch had done.

Especially the nickname “Blasphemer” intrigued him!

Who did he blaspheme?

Just like with Oddssen before, beneath Welch’s basic information on the book’s pages, there were also images displayed.

Peter randomly opened one and found the content of the image to be quite gruesome.

In a dim laboratory, Welch was sewing together some pieces of corpses with needles and thread.

Then, he performed magic and unleashed a lightning bolt on the twisted and deformed body.

Before long, an ugly monster with a wolf’s head, human body, and bull’s horns was born.

Next, Peter opened other images.

He found that these images were all similar.

They depicted Welch creating various twisted and deformed monsters!

This person was truly a madman. He actually attempted to study necromancy and ended up creating many distorted and deformed monsters!

This greatly shocked Peter. No wonder he’s called “Blasphemer Welch.” Necromancy was blasphemous to the gods.

After returning to his residence, Peter couldn’t sleep all night.

He felt that the danger of this world had far exceeded his imagination and lamented that he was still too weak!
