Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Holy Sanctuary Knight

If Source Essence is added to the spirit, one’s own strength will be difficult to improve significantly in a short period of time.

Spiritual power needs to act on wizardry.

So far, Karl has only mastered the first-circle wizardries of Tidal Force and the incomplete Wrath of the Thunder God.

Even spells like Blink, which do not require the construction of complex spell models, he has not had time to cultivate.

Adding to physique, however, can quickly be converted into strength.

Moreover, if a single stat breaks through the 10-point mark, and the cultivation reaches the middle stage of the first order, the strength will also double.

As the Source Essence poured into his body, his skin, periosteum, internal organs, blood vessels… all changed simultaneously.

In an instant.

The originally chaotic and dangerous scene became traceable in Karl’s perception.

The phantom bubbles flying around, all kinds of wizardry attacks, were reflected into his ‘perception’ through the stimulation of his skin.

Six flying arrows would land on his body in half a breath, two fireballs would explode nearby after one breath, and a torrent of negative energy, along with other attacks, was about to carve a path in front of him…

In the chaotic situation, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Lower left!

“Whoosh!”

Karl twisted his body, his whole being like a fish in water, rushing forward propelled by the air.

“Boom!”

“Rumble…”

A series of explosions rang out behind him, Karl’s figure shuttling through the flames, and a roll allowed him to avoid several stray arrows.

He looked up.

A wizard wearing a fiery red wizard’s robe was holding a ring of flames, constantly shooting fireballs downwards.

A late-stage first-order fire-type wizard!

There were many powerful auras in the field, but most wizards, when they started fighting, would subconsciously avoid ordinary people.

Although they could not completely avoid it, they would try their best to be careful.

Only this person had no scruples, and clusters of flames fell like a torrential rain towards the ground.

In just a dozen breaths, countless people had died at his hands on this street.

“Hmph!”

Karl snorted lowly, seeing that there was no way to avoid it, his figure suddenly leaped high into the air, and punched towards a cluster of flames.

Break!

The battle aura, strengthened by the Sacred Breath, had a powerful magic-breaking effect, and the flames were torn apart by the fist.

“Open for me!”

Karl’s expression was solemn, his hands dividing left and right, and as he blew away the flames, he also broke free from the circle of attacks.

Even though his physique had just exceeded 10, he was still in the middle stage of the first order. Facing the attacks of a late-stage wizard, he would not be completely helpless. At least he could resist the large-scale wizardry that had its power weakened.

“Ah!”

A familiar scream came from not far away.

Enid was holding up a colorful magic carpet with one hand, desperately fleeing in the chaos.

Explosions rang out constantly around her, and the wizardry aura on the magic carpet flickered wildly, as if it was already somewhat unsustainable.

“This way!”

Karl shouted loudly, pointing his staff in the distance.

First-circle wizardry—Tidal Force!

Water currents appeared out of thin air, rushing towards Enid’s location. Although the power was not great, it could at least block various stray attacks.

“Karl!”

Enid looked over after hearing the voice, and her face could not help but reveal ecstasy, her figure flashing quickly closer.

“Go!”

After the two met, Karl looked back:

“Let’s leave here first.”

“Yes.”

Enid nodded, and the two joined forces to flee into the distance, stopping only after running several miles.

“I didn’t expect that the Swirling Spirit Butterfly would appear near the market?”

Looking at the still chaotic area behind them, Enid’s face showed lingering fear:

“Thanks to your help just now, Karl, otherwise… I might not have been able to escape.”

As she spoke, she looked at the magic carpet in her hand with a pained expression.

This magic carpet was the only inherited magic item she had, and its defense was amazing, but this time it was almost scrapped.

But fortunately she had it, otherwise she probably would not have been able to get out today.

“It’s nothing.”

Karl waved his hand:

“What do we do now? Just let them run amok like this?”

The battle was still ongoing in the distance.

You could see countless people fleeing the battlefield quickly, but very few had the courage to go against the flow.

The patrol team jointly formed by the three major families now seemed like a joke.

“That’s a centennial Swirling Spirit Butterfly, it can increase a late-stage first-order wizard’s chances of breaking through.”

“Wizards who reach the late stage of the first order are also close to the limit of their lifespan, they would go crazy for something like this.”

Enid shook her head:

“If the Capet Family were still here, they might have been able to suppress them, but now… we can only wait for things to end.”

Karl shook his head lightly, his hands slowly clenching.

…………

When Daniel, the representative of the Tower, arrived at the market, it was already the next day, and the chaos had long ended.

The edge of the market area had become a ruin, hundreds of houses were destroyed, and corpses littered the ground.

“Second-circle wizards are all outside, so…”

He spread his hands, looking helpless:

“When so many late-stage first-order wizards go crazy, even our Tower has to stay far away.”

“Mm…”

“Actually, if I were there, I guess I would have gone to snatch it, after all, that was a centennial Swirling Spirit Butterfly.”

“Yes.” Karl smiled wryly:

“I was breaking through to become a formal wizard during the beast tide, and this time I’ve seen the chaos of the Magic Forest.”

“Haha…” Daniel laughed:

“This is already very good, I remember a few years ago when a magic plant that could help second-circle wizards advance appeared, that was truly terrifying.”

“Several second-circle wizards fought each other, the scene… I had nightmares for a long time afterwards.”

“Sigh!” Karl sighed softly:

“So, what happened in the end?”

“What happened in the end?” Daniel was stunned, then came back to his senses:

“The Swirling Spirit Butterfly was finally obtained by the two brothers of the Sanchez family. They are twins, and both are late-stage first-order wizards.”

“They have now disappeared, but there are not many alchemists who can refine the True Knowledge Potion, so it will not be easy for them to refine the potion.”

Karl nodded.

He guessed that the well-known alchemists were already being watched, just waiting for the Sanchez brothers to appear.

“Wizard Daniel.”

After thinking for a while, he spoke slowly:

“Yesterday, a fire-type wizard appeared, with a special inherited magic item, what is his name?”

“You must be talking about Fire Demon Wells, a bastard who sets fires everywhere.” Daniel frowned, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Karl with a solemn expression:

“Although this person is a bastard, his strength is very strong, and he is considered a strong person among late-stage first-order wizards.”

“So…”

“No matter what he did, you can put it aside for now.”

“Yes.” Karl nodded:

“I understand.”

“There’s also one other thing.” Daniel took a deep breath and said:

“The head of the Mitchell family unfortunately died in yesterday’s accident, please come with me to comfort them later.”

The Mitchell family?

Their head was a late-stage first-order wizard, and the only one, and he actually died?

Without a late-stage first-order wizard to hold down the fort, they could no longer support a large family.

The four families who claimed to maintain the market, how long has it been, and now only two are left.

Karl looked surprised and nodded in agreement.

Other World.

Rapid Flow City.

A man wearing servant’s clothes was walking on a mountain path, trembling as he reached out and pointed upwards.

“There, is where Elder Karl lives.”

Behind him, were four men covered in sackcloth, with ugly faces, who grinned upon hearing this.

“That’s strange?”

One of them spoke, his voice strange, like a beast learning to speak human language, his intonation full of oddities:

“You said that this Karl is the number one expert in your Rapid Flow City? How could he live in a place like this where even birds don’t shit?”

“I… I don’t know.” The man’s body trembled, and his knees buckled as he knelt directly on the ground:

“I don’t know anything, please don’t kill me, I don’t want to die, I still have family.”

***

“With your timidness, how have you survived until now?” One of the strange men reached out and touched the man’s head, laughing:

“Even if we let you go this time, you probably won’t live long, you might as well let me fill my stomach.”

“Crack!”

With a twist of his hand, the man’s head spun three hundred and sixty degrees on his neck, and his eyes, which had not yet lost their vitality, still held terror.

“Gagaga…”

The strange man grinned hideously, opened his mouth wide and pounced, swallowing half of the man’s head in one bite.

After a few bites, blood spurted from his neck, and his entire head had been eaten whole.

The other three seemed to be used to their companion eating people alive, and one of them even licked the corner of his mouth.

“Alright.”

Among the four, the tallest and most burly strange man frowned:

“Hurry up.”

“The leader is still waiting for us over there, don’t forget to bring that… Frenzy Potion?”

“Yes.” The other three were clearly very afraid of the other, and hurriedly agreed.

The mountain road was rugged, with only a narrow path for passage, and the path was even more muddy after the rain.

“Damn it!”

One of them swung his left leg, shaking off the mud on his foot, cursing:

“By Duke Olaf, I really can’t understand how someone who can refine magical potions would live here?”

“Is he an ascetic?”

“Stop talking nonsense!” The tall strange man said in a muffled voice:

“At least it saves us a lot of trouble here, if it was in the city, it wouldn’t be easy to take people away.”

“What are you afraid of?” One of them said with a look of disdain:

“There isn’t a single legendary-level existence in that city below, and no one has received the Duke’s blessing.”

“Even if we use force, we can still snatch the person away!”

“Yes.” Someone nodded:

“But it’s still a bit troublesome in the city after all.”

“I heard that the Frenzy Potion can allow knights to advance to grand knights, if we have enough grand knights…”

“Then we can take over Duke Joe’s territory!”

At this point, the eyes of the four were filled with fanaticism.

Walking up the path, a tower gradually came into view, and the ground around it was full of ravines as if it had been plowed.

“Someone!”

The four tensed up and leaped towards the tower, their amazing jumping ability could make even a grand knight marvel.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The four landed in front of the tower, looking at the two people in front of them. One of them frowned and said in a muffled voice:

“Who is Karl?”

Two people were squatting in front of the tower.

One of them was wearing a cloak, his features completely covered, and he looked up somewhat sluggishly after hearing the voice:

“Savages from the Olaf region, a disgusting smell, why have you come here?”

“You know us?” Among the four, one of them stepped forward and asked:

“You are the alchemist Karl?”

“No.” The cloaked man shook his head:

“I’m also here to find him, you guys are out of luck, he’s been out to sea for more than a month and doesn’t know when he’ll be back.”

“You’re not?” The four were first disappointed, then exclaimed:

“He hasn’t been back for more than a month?”

“Yes.” The cloaked man nodded, sighing:

“You guys are luckier than me, I’ve been waiting here for more than a month, you just arrived, at least the waiting time will be less than mine.”

“Right!”

He asked:

“What are you looking for him for?”

“Our leader heard that there is a mysterious alchemist here who can refine magical potions that allow people to become grand knights, so he sent us to take him to the territory.” One of them said, then frowned:

“Why am I telling you this?”

“Heh…” The cloaked man chuckled:

“Savages’ brains are always not very bright. But you can’t take the person away, Karl will come with me.”

“Come with you?” One of them roared angrily:

“Based on what?”

“Ah Da!” The tall strange man suddenly spoke:

“Kill him!”

“Huh?”

The strange man named Ah Da was stunned, then his face revealed a ferocious grin, and he stretched out his hands to pounce towards the cloaked man.

His movements were very simple, but his speed was astonishingly fast, his momentum like a tiger descending the mountain.

Even an ordinary grand knight might not be able to dodge this attack.

“Whoosh…”

The cloaked man’s body swayed, and he retreated lightly, his speed seemingly slow, but he was not caught by the other party.

“Beasts, even if they gain intelligence, they are still beasts.”

Shaking his head lightly, the cloaked man waved his hand at the person next to him:

“Kill them all!”

The figure next to him was wearing a tattered long shirt, his figure was thin and short, and his aura was weak.

If the cloaked man had not spoken, everyone else would have almost forgotten that there was another person in the field.

Kill them all?

The tall strange man’s face revealed a cold smile.

He was the most valiant warrior, even facing a legendary knight he could withstand them head-on, and although his companions were not as strong as him, they were not weak either, this person probably didn’t know who he was facing.

The next moment.

His smile froze on his face.

“Puff!”

Ah Da, who was rushing forward, stiffened, his face full of disbelief, and he lowered his head to look at his chest.

A withered hand claw stretched out from his heart, clutching a still-beating heart that was emitting heat.

That heart…

Was mine?

“Snap!”

The hand claw exerted a slight force, and the heart instantly exploded. Ah Da only felt a pain, and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

“Ah Da!”

“Attack!”

“…”

The remaining three’s expressions changed drastically, and they roared and rushed up.

The tall strange man was the fastest, his five fingers clenched into a fist, his muscles bulging, and his fist smashed down with a gust of wind.

This punch could shatter hard rocks.

“Bang!”

The tall strange man’s figure froze.

The thin, short figure in front of him simply raised his right hand and blocked his full-strength blow.

On the contrary, he felt as if he had hit a steel nail, and his fist was aching.

“Crack!”

The inconspicuous thin figure simply turned his wrist, and the tall strange man’s arm broke inch by inch.

Moreover, an aura of death spread throughout his body, and the battle aura of a peak grand knight was powerless against this aura, and was easily crushed.

This is…

“Desecration…”

“Bang!”

The figure in front of him swung a leg, and the tall strange man’s head shattered like a watermelon.

“Bang!”

“Bang bang!”

The figure flashed continuously, and in just a few breaths, the four had fallen to the ground one after another, and were lifeless.

“Clap!”

“Clap!”

Karl’s figure appeared in the field at some point, looking at the two with surprise, and clapping lightly:

“Such speed! Such power!”

This kind of explosive power was already approaching the threshold of the middle stage of the first order. If expressed in numbers, it would at least be nine point something, which was higher than his own from some time ago.

“Is it you?”

The cloaked man looked up, raised his hand and took off the cloak, revealing an old face, and knelt on one knee facing Karl.

“Holy Sanctuary Knight Bocken, greets the Guardian!”
