Diary of a Dead Wizard

He cried out miserably “meow meow,” tears rolling down his furry face.    

“I hate ghosts! I hate ghosts!”    

The orange cat, who had once had a special encounter with ghosts, desperately fled from the shadows behind him.    

If he still had his original strong male body, he might have been able to suppress his fear, but now his cat instincts forced him to be completely overwhelmed by the fear growing in his heart, only wanting to escape this place as quickly as possible.    

The surroundings grew darker and darker.    

He passed one streetlight after another, but still couldn’t run out of this district.    

The crescent moon ahead seemed to guide his path forward while also mocking his cowardice.    

“What is this place? Why can’t I get out?”    

“The intelligence was wrong, completely wrong. Such a terrifying place definitely can’t be a space created by a second-rank wizard’s mutation.”    

At this moment, Kate deeply regretted agreeing to White Beard’s request to come here together seeking the method to push open the inner door.    

Even if he couldn’t become a powerful third-rank wizard, he could still be a free second-rank wizard!    

Even if he couldn’t turn back into a human, he could still be a living cat!    

“This road might not lead to escape. I must find other places to get out. Anomalies, anomalies—the most abnormal place might also be the exit to escape from here.”    

Kate widened his cat eyes, pupils dilated to the same size as his eyes.    

Using his cat’s night vision enhancement, he looked left and right.    

Ahead was an endless road, behind were inescapable shadows.    

Kate considered that perhaps he could enter the buildings on both sides.    

But when he finally managed to see the surrounding scenery clearly, he discovered in horror that after running for so long, the buildings around him hadn’t changed at all.    

Yet when he first observed, the buildings on both sides of the road had always been of different heights, staggered and orderly.    

There hadn’t been completely identical, repeating street scenes.    

But now he discovered that after running for so long, it was as if he hadn’t moved at all.    

He remembered that about ten meters ahead on his left side, there was a uniquely shaped building, and now this building was exactly ten meters ahead on his left.    

Exactly the same position as before Kate started running!    

“Could it be that the roads here are moving backward? Or has my sanity already become problematic?”    

“Then the ghost behind me…”    

Kate’s four cat paws were immediately nailed in place, all his cat fur standing on end, the whole cat becoming like a spiky ball!    

He wanted to look back to see if there was still a ghost behind him, but he didn’t dare move or turn around.    

Because he was afraid that once he turned around, that terrifying ghost would be right behind him!    

But if he didn’t look, didn’t turn around, didn’t confirm, this fear would stick to his back like a stubborn plaster that could never be shaken off!    

Kate could only prick up his cat ears, first trying to listen for sounds behind him.    

He heard a rushing wind.    

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…    

As if a huge cloak was being blown by the wind.    

And this sound was getting closer and closer, about to reach his back and brush against the fur on his back.    

“Meow!”    

Kate’s whole body shuddered. He no longer dared to look back, but knowing that running forward was futile, he randomly chose a direction and ran toward the buildings on either side.    

After just two steps, he suddenly found his feet weren’t touching the ground.    

After instinctively kicking his legs in the air a few times, he realized he had been lifted more than a meter into the air.    

“Found you, Wizard Kate.”    

The newcomer?    

Kate immediately turned around excitedly.    

But when he turned to see who was holding his scruff, his cat face twisted in terror!    

The one holding him and speaking in Black Blade Wizard’s voice… was actually a skeleton!    

This skeleton was completely black with no flesh on its bones.    

In the empty eye sockets of its skull, gray flames seemed to burn.    

Only the left hand that wasn’t gripping Kate was white, wrapped in a transparent, skin-like medium.    

“Meow—ow—”    

The orange cat cried even more miserably, desperately kicking with all four limbs, trying to escape from the black skeleton’s grasp.    

But the struggling orange cat Kate didn’t notice that what was truly terrifying wasn’t the black skeleton in front of him, but the semi-transparent tentacles extending from under his wizard robes.    

Most of those tentacles extended behind Saul, wrapping around every streetlight he passed.    

Only two tentacles seemed to extend forward curiously, scraping against Kate’s little paw pads that reached toward them.    

Looking at the orange cat panicking almost to collapse, Saul was somewhat puzzled.    

The other party was a second-rank wizard after all—even though he’d become a cat—but he shouldn’t be this afraid just from seeing a skeleton, right?    

Seeing that the other was about to be scared into collapse and mutation, his spiritual body becoming increasingly unstable, Saul had to retract most of his tentacles and regrow flesh on his face, restoring his appearance.    

“Wizard Kate, if you can’t calm down, I can help you.”    

As Saul spoke, a black blade appeared at his left fingertip.    

“Black Blade… Wizard?” The orange cat was forced to look back again. After seeing Saul’s appearance clearly, he finally gradually calmed down.    

Of course, what really confirmed Saul’s identity for him was the mental power that escaped when Saul cast magic.    

Kate was abnormally sensitive to mental power in his current state.    

Seeing the orange cat in his hands finally stop struggling, Saul put Kate back on the ground.    

“Wizard Kate, a word of advice—solve the problem of being trapped in cat form as soon as possible, or your spiritual body will collapse sooner or later.”    

Kate didn’t respond to Saul’s advice. After being put on the ground, he secretly glanced at Saul while muttering, “Didn’t turn into a shadow, didn’t turn into a shadow.”    

Saul knew Kate must have encountered certain people or things in the Inverted Tree that had all turned into ash people.    

It had scared this cat quite badly.    

“Wizard Kate, I have to say, this place really counters you.”    

Kate originally wanted to be stubborn, but thinking of his recent performance that Saul had witnessed, he could only nod listlessly.    

“Yes, my nerves are very sensitive in this state, and this place has special effects that stir up fear from the bottom of people’s hearts, so I…”    

He ultimately couldn’t bring himself to say something like “was too scared.”    

“But from another angle, this characteristic of yours isn’t bad either.”    

How is it not bad!    

Orange cat Kate almost meowed again to express his indignation.    

Saul crossed his arms and looked around at the surrounding high-rises.    

These buildings looked like three-dimensional structures, but after staring for a long time, there was a vague feeling that everything was drawn on paper.    

Saul looked back at the obviously unhappy orange cat Kate and smiled warmly, “Of course, it’s the monster-attracting attribute.”    

Kate’s whole body stiffened, almost letting out another meow.    

“What, what are you going to do?”    

“I saved you, so you should be grateful, right? Ever heard of a cat’s gratitude?”
