Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 679 - 322: Conquest Display

Previously on Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots...
Ron cautiously expresses interest in becoming a part-time Abyss explorer but requests weeks to evaluate the risks and responsibilities involved, prompting Wayne to provide detailed information. In the observation station's monitoring center, Carl and Professor Yutel review Ron's exceptional performance in the test, praising his extraordinary perception and combat skills that surpass expectations. They detect anomalous space fluctuations suggesting external interference, heightening concerns amid growing instability in the Abyss, especially with news of Cassandra's return stirring activity in its depths, leading Carl to order enhanced security measures and close observation of Ron.

Returning to the materials analysis section at the observation station.

Ron's almost flawless showing this round granted him substantial acclaim and a boost in standing among the two separate groups.

Within the research squad, supervisor Wayne felt profoundly struck by the remarkably sharp sensing skill Ron displayed.

"The alert sense you demonstrated today is genuinely uncommon,"

Wayne shared his thoughts openly during a confidential chat:

"I plan to nominate you for the forthcoming ’Deep Materials Trait Analysis’ initiative.

Samples from the Abyss Fourth Layer and levels even further down will feature in this effort, offering immense study potential, though the risks involved are far from trivial."

He halted briefly, then continued:

"Moreover, should you consent, I'd like to propose you for the observation station’s ’Anomalous Phenomena Investigation Team.

That group focuses on examining and managing abyssal occurrences beyond standard explanations.

Given the sensing talent you revealed today, you'll likely make an essential contribution in this area."

Regarding the exploration squad, head Miller shared details with Ron about explorer matters.

"Per the observation station's staffing rules, researcher and explorer roles mesh seamlessly,"

Miller elaborated thoroughly:

"Indeed, many of our top core personnel hold both positions.

You may keep prioritizing materials examination and study tasks, all while joining select low-risk yet rewarding abyssal quests as a side explorer."

From his uniform's front pocket, he pulled a comprehensive file:

"Part-time explorers receive these privileges:

First dibs on scarce abyssal resources, entry to lucrative scouting operations, additional hazard pay, and above all—authorized access to profound abyssal zones."

Ron found this setup quite tempting.

Becoming a formal explorer would offer him greater legitimate chances to venture into the deep abyss, priceless for his hidden studies.

At the same time, the explorer role could serve as ideal official camouflage for certain "unique endeavors," like the day's triumphant covert placement of the Stand-In Puppet.

"I agree to this setup,"

After thorough deliberation, Ron decided:

"Being a part-time explorer truly opens up more avenues for my investigations."

Beyond these visible benefits, the day's moves yielded a profoundly important hidden success.

The Stand-In Puppet got placed effectively in the "Sea of Darkness" zone of the Abyss Fifth Layer, setting up a key advance outpost for his future thorough probes.

Via the puppet's live sensing data, Ron now grasps the core setup of the Fifth Layer's environment:

An endless aquatic expanse wrapped in perpetual night, where the waters erode fiercely and carry an enigmatic lively quality.

Oddly formed underwater beasts glide through it, with some showing basic group awareness.

.........

Right now, deep in the Abyss Seventh Layer, worlds away from the Main World.

Here lies the hidden gathering spot for the Supreme Apostles, a unique realm that even Great Wizards struggle to detect or approach.

The ambient setup utterly rejects ordinary existence:

Pull of gravity shifts at whim based on the viewer's mind, hues shift to noises, duration swirls in loops, and ideas etch glowing paths in the atmosphere.

Joining the assembly are these three Supreme Apostles:

"The scheme fell through."

"Invisible Fog" Nas's words resemble murmurs layering from myriad realms:

"That young one somehow pinpointed the transport's aim spot exactly."

Its misty form churned wildly, every eye inside swiveling to fix on the observation station's location:

"I'd altered the Chaotic Spirit Monster's transport points already, fooling even the station's top-tier scanning gear entirely.

Yet he sensed the danger ahead, a sensing prowess that far exceeds the usual limits."

"Flesh Sculpture" Grush unleashed a bellow that rattled the whole realm, echoing like a horde of creatures howling together:

"I've kept insisting, these twisted tactics are overly intricate! Just send the Apostle Legion to raid the station, seize that kid for reshaping—wouldn't that be far simpler and surer?"

Its enormous meaty appendages thrashed madly in emptiness, each lash carving crimson power marks:

"Does a fresh Official Wizard merit all this drama? Straight-up armed takeover is the true path to resolution!"

"You haven't grasped it yet, Grush."

Nas's voice grew icier and more menacing, the mist's gazes all locking onto the meaty mass:

"This human carries traits beyond our full grasp.

Beyond the Primordial Wizard's untainted essence, there are profounder, enigmas."

It stopped briefly, its tone resounding like calls from the abyss's core:

"I feel that turning him into one of ours will tip the scales for our vast scheme.

Rather than crude grabs and torments, I want him to ’willingly’ align with us."

Nearby, "Void Spider" Maggs employed its unique sensing power to span timelines, probing endless futures afar.
