Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Holy Demon Transformation

The gathering continued.

Although everyone was shocked by the holy technique and the 200,000 pounds of fine meat, they also understood that these had nothing to do with them.

Holy technique,

was something that only Legendary Knights could come into contact with.

In this world where the path of the knight was almost severed, being able to become a legend undoubtedly represented a powerful background and strength. No one would have any other thoughts, which was also why Karl dared to reveal his true identity.

Unlike the Magic Forest in the Main World, where first-circle wizards were as common as dogs and second-circle wizards were everywhere, you had to be cautious in everything you did.

“Mr. Karl.”

After waiting for a while, someone finally couldn’t help but stand up and speak to Karl:

“I also have a holy technique here. I wonder if you are still interested?”

“Oh!” Karl said:

“As long as it’s a holy technique, I’m interested.”

“That’s good.” The other party nodded, took out a book from his body, and gently sent it to Karl:

“Please take a look first.”

Karl sat up straight.

Unlike the Flame Knight, the person who took out the holy technique this time was a Legendary Knight, whose aura was calm and relaxed.

The Bard, Bennett!

A legendary figure who traveled through various dukedoms.

Clearly possessing great strength, he could have been a guest of honor in any force, but this person had always relied on selling songs and performances in various taverns for a living. No matter what the reason, this practice was admirable.

It was not strange for a Legendary Knight to possess a holy technique, but the holy technique he took out was beyond Karl’s expectations.

The Divine String Burial Soul Score!

This was a musical score, or rather, a performance technique, but it was indeed a holy technique.

A sound-killing technique?

But this musical score had no lethality. It could only help people soothe the restlessness in their souls and bring peace to their consciousness.

Karl’s expression was strange, and he looked hesitant:

“This holy technique…”

“You won’t accept it?”

“No.”

Karl sighed:

“As long as it’s a holy technique, I’ll accept it. It’s just that the fine meat might take a few days to be delivered.”

“It’s okay, I can wait.” Bennett smiled:

“Mr. Karl, don’t underestimate this holy technique. I’ve been relying on it to support myself for so many years.”

“It was once…”

“The piece that must be played when the Council of Gods is convened!”

“Yes.” Karl gave a dry laugh:

“Thank you.”

He now somewhat understood why Bennett, as a legend, never fought with anyone.

It would be strange to have murderous intent in his heart after frequently playing this kind of music that calmed people’s minds.

After that, no one else sold a holy technique, and Karl also calmed down and quietly watched the transactions of others.

Soon.

The gathering ended.

Everyone bid farewell and left one by one, until only Karl was left sitting in place, as if waiting for something.

“The Legendary Knight of the Free Port, the mysterious alchemist of Rapid Flow City, and also the Guardian of the Holy Sanctuary.”

A clear and melodious voice sounded:

“Mr. Karl, your rise is a legend.”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Karl raised his head, looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in the arena, and his expression did not change:

“May I know how I should address you, miss?”

This woman was the woman wearing a thin veil at the gathering, but now she had taken off the veil.

Her exquisite features, like those of a white porcelain doll, carried a childlike innocence, making it clear at a glance that she was a young woman who was not deeply involved in the world.

However…

The fact that she knew he was the Guardian of the Holy Sanctuary, and was also a legend herself, was enough to show that there was a mysterious and powerful force behind her.

“Oriana.”

The girl placed one hand on her chest, crossed her legs, and slightly bowed her body, performing an ancient etiquette:

“My friends usually call me Anna.”

“Then… Miss Oriana.” Karl leaned forward and said:

“You secretly transmitted a message to me at the gathering, asking me to stay after the meeting. What did you want to talk about?”

“Holy techniques!” Oriana chuckled:

“Mr. Karl, if I’m not mistaken, you haven’t obtained a holy technique that satisfies you yet, have you?”

“…” Karl hesitated for a moment, but did not deny it:

“Yes!”

“Could it be that Miss Oriana has a holy technique that I want?”

“Perhaps.” Oriana pulled over a chair and sat down gracefully. Every move she made was extremely elegant. This kind of habit of having elegance ingrained in her bones must have been cultivated over many years.

“I wonder if Mr. Karl is clear that there are also different ranks among holy techniques, and the gap is very large.”

“Is that so?” Karl touched his chin and replied ambiguously:

“I’m not really clear about that.”

“Gods possess divinity, but they have not completely lost their humanity, so gods also have conflicts like humans.” Oriana smiled:

“Mr. Karl, guess how they resolve their conflicts?”

“A duel?” Karl said:

“The lofty gods naturally wouldn’t do it themselves, so they let their guardians duel?”

“You’re right!” Oriana nodded with a smile:

“The Divine Realm has many arenas for guardians to duel in. Watching duels is also the gods’ favorite form of entertainment.”

“Sometimes demigods and certain gods, when they are interested, will also participate.”

“According to records, every hundred years, the arenas of the Divine Realm will hold a grand duel competition. The top three guardians will win glory for their gods and will receive the gods’ blessings.”

Karl did not interrupt, but just listened quietly to her story.

It was very strange.

Oriana’s narration of the gods’ stories had a unique calmness, like an ordinary person talking about family matters.

There was no awe towards the gods.

Karl had never encountered this in anyone else. Even Connie, who had no respect for the gods, would subconsciously lower his head when mentioning them.

That was a normal reaction for ordinary people.

But Oriana did not.

“Due to some coincidences, I have a ranking of the arena competitions from the Era of the Gods, spanning nearly a thousand years.”

“The records list the top twenty of each competition, and list their respective holy techniques, advantages, and disadvantages.”

Oriana smiled:

“I guess!”

“This list should be for the guardians participating in the arena competitions, so that they can recognize their opponents and win in the following competitions. After all, according to legends, there are many bets involved behind the scenes of this competition, and even the gods are very concerned about it.”

“Miss Oriana.” Karl had to interrupt her endless chatter:

“This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with what we’re talking about?”

“How can it be irrelevant?” Oriana rolled her eyes, as if blaming him for his lack of patience:

“The top three in the centennial battles are almost always the guardians of the Moon Goddess, the God of Death, and the Sea God.”

“Besides showing that their guardians are extraordinary, it also shows that the cultivation techniques the guardians practice are powerful.”

“…” Karl sat up straight, his expression serious:

“You have the holy techniques they practiced?”

“No.” Oriana shook her head:

“The Holy Sanctuary might have them.”

?

If you don’t have them, what are you talking about!

“What’s with that expression?” Oriana frowned:

“Although I don’t have the inheritances left by these gods, I have others, and it’s not that the stronger the god, the more powerful the inheritance they leave behind. Sometimes it’s the opposite. After all, powerful gods don’t lack glory.”

“There are a few lower deities whose holy techniques given to their guardians are very powerful, possessing the potential to slay gods, but their guardians are too few and their resources are insufficient, so their rankings in the competition are not very high.”

“But…”

“Without resources and with average talent, they can still rank in the top twenty in every competition. Isn’t that also very impressive?”

“Not bad.” Karl nodded.

“I have a holy technique that, although it has high requirements, is very suitable for those who practice the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique.” Oriana said:

“However, 200,000 pounds of fine meat is definitely not enough!”

Karl lightly tapped the table. The other party even knew that he had practiced the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique. He immediately asked:

“How much do you want?”

“Two million pounds of fine meat!” Oriana’s voice became serious:

“Of course, I don’t need you to collect it immediately. I just need you to provide it within the next year.”

“Fish and shrimp are also acceptable!”

“As the number one person in Rapid Flow City and the Guardian of the Holy Sanctuary, I believe it shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?”

“Two million pounds?” Karl’s expression changed slightly, but he did not directly refuse. Instead, he said:

“Let me take a look at the holy technique first.”

“No problem.” Oriana chuckled, raised her hand, and tossed a book. The book cover had three ancient characters on it.

Holy Demon Transformation!

Karl opened the book, and a violent murderous intent rushed towards him, like a giant axe chopping into his mind.

Hmm!

He let out a muffled groan, paused for a moment, and then looked down.

Oriana on the opposite side raised an eyebrow when she saw this, her beautiful eyes flickering.

Not many people could continue reading this book. Even she had only read half of it before choosing to give up.

Because while reading the book, the murderous intent would become more and more intense, until it drove people crazy.

When she first opened the book, she even vomited blood on the spot. She had originally thought of seeing Karl make a fool of himself, but she didn’t expect that he would only change his expression slightly and then continue reading, seemingly not very affected.

After a long time.

“Huff…”

Karl exhaled a breath of turbid air. A few drops of sweat appeared on his temples, and his eyes twitched before he slowly put down the book in his hand.

A body-tempering technique!

The Holy Demon Transformation was not a holy technique used for killing, but a method to allow the flesh to evolve.

There were a total of ten levels.

Each level would cause certain changes in the body.

Each three levels corresponded to one order. In theory, if one were to cultivate to the tenth level, they could even be a match for a fourth-order.

***

Fourth-order!

The realm of gods.

Indeed, as the other party said, it possessed the potential to slay gods.

It was just that cultivating this technique was not easy. It had very high requirements for the cultivator’s physique and temperament.

“Miss, you’re right. This technique called the Holy Demon Transformation is indeed very powerful, but two million pounds of fine meat…” Karl shook his head:

“That’s really too much!”

“I don’t think it’s too much.” Oriana said:

“Besides, I don’t need it immediately. I just need you to provide it within the next year.”

“It’s still too much.” Karl still shook his head:

“One million pounds of fine meat, or give me three years. You also know what the prices are like now.”

“No!” Oriana frowned:

“At least 1.8 million pounds, and three years is even more impossible…”

“Too much!”

“Not much!”

“…”

After a long time.

The two reached an agreement.

1.5 million pounds. Karl needed to provide it to the other party within the next year and a half.

…………

Walking out of the Dark Market, Oriana looked pensive, and then tapped the ground lightly with a cane.

The next moment.

The hard ground beneath her feet rippled like flowing water, and she sank downwards.

In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared from the spot.

Somewhere underground.

Oriana knelt before a giant that was several meters tall.

“Mother!”

The giant was over five meters tall, but if she were scaled down proportionally, she would undoubtedly be a beautiful noblewoman.

Mevia!

The daughter of Duke Ferdinand!

The City Lord of Death City!

“Hmm…”

Mevia slowly opened her eyes. A hazy light seemed to flash in her pupils. She spoke slowly:

“How was it?”

“There was no aura of the goddess on his body.” Oriana said:

“He should have advanced to the legendary level through other means, perhaps related to an evil god, which is why he is unwilling to go to the Holy Sanctuary.”

“The Holy Sanctuary…” Mevia’s voice was faint:

“Since it has nothing to do with the goddess, there’s no need to put any more effort into it. Has the evil god’s will in the Free Port been found?”

“Not yet.” Oriana lowered her head:

“But it should be soon. The evil god’s will is wandering in the Free Port. I’m afraid my uncle won’t be able to hold on much longer.”

“Soden?” Mevia closed her eyes:

“A foolish idiot. There’s no need to pay attention to him. Once I find the evil god’s will, I will take action to solve the problem.”

“Food…”

“Cannot be cut off.”

“Yes.” Oriana responded. She was just about to mention the holy technique when she looked up and saw that her mother had already fallen asleep.

She opened her mouth, but then silently bowed and retreated.

“Huff…”

“Bang!”

Karl flipped his body, his five fingers clenched into a fist and struck forward. The whistling wind condensed into a white line visible to the naked eye.

Two streams of magical light landed on his body. He only swayed slightly, and then flashed in front of one of the people.

“Puff!”

His fists were like claws, easily crushing his opponent’s throat bone.

The next moment.

Everything around him began to shake, and the illusion quietly dissipated.

“Sigh!”

Karl stood in place, looking speechless:

“Nef’s Magic Mirror is actually so fragile. I seriously suspect that the Andrew Family set a limit on the number of uses when they were refining the magic mirror. Once the set number of uses is exceeded, the magic mirror will quickly break.”

“However…”

His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he muttered softly:

“My strength has indeed increased a lot. I even have a chance of winning if I face a mid-stage first-circle wizard head-on!”

“The first three transformations of the Holy Demon Transformation are called the Bronze Transformation. Just cultivating to the first level has doubled my defense, and I can almost ignore physical attacks of the same level. My resistance to magic has also greatly increased.”

“Now, when I encounter a spell cast by a late-stage first-circle wizard, I will no longer die for sure like I did before. Instead…”

“I’ll be seriously injured!”

“It seems like the final outcome is not much different?”

His lips twitched. The fighting spirit that had risen in Karl’s heart involuntarily fell. He then cheered himself up:

“It’s okay!”

“I’ve only cultivated to the first level now. When I cultivate to the second and third levels, my defense will double again.”

“If the Bronze Transformation is completed, I might not be unable to withstand a late-stage first-order spell head-on. Besides, I’m not a dead person. If a spell comes, don’t I know to dodge?”

“The key is…”

“Life Energy!”

Touching his chin, Karl looked thoughtful.

He had been practicing the Holy Demon Transformation for less than two months, and he had already cultivated to the first level.

The reason why he had entered so quickly was because his physical constitution was already at the mid-stage of the first order. In addition, he had a good foundation from practicing the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique, and the Divine Domain Fragment gave him absolute control over his body.

The Holy Demon Transformation was of a very high rank. It consumed a large amount of Life Energy during cultivation, but as long as there was enough Life Energy, the advancement would be very fast.

After cultivating to the first level, Karl felt strained when cultivating to the second level. Although his physique was already not weak, his progress was slow.

Walking out of the backyard, a burst of noise came from outside.

“What’s going on?”

Karl frowned, walked out, and glanced at the few people in the shop:

“What’s wrong again?”

The shop had not been very quiet recently. There were disturbances from time to time, which even affected business.

It also made his mood not very good.

“Wizard Karl.” Lance chuckled when he saw this:

“It’s nothing. I’m just playing around with Zoe.”

Playing around?

Karl snorted coldly.

Zoe was the daughter-in-law of the Nelson Family. Karl had taken her in at Enid’s request some time ago.

Her features were exquisite, and her skin was fair and tender. Although she was pregnant, it was not very obvious. On the contrary, she had a mature charm.

And although Lance had lost an arm, his temperament had not been restrained. He would often tease her a few times.

Today, he had obviously gone a bit too far. Even the hem of Zoe’s skirt had been torn, and her face was pale.

The others looked ugly, but no one dared to say anything.

After all, Lance was a member of the Green Family and had a noble status in the Six Rings Tower. Even when speaking to Karl, he was very casual.

Karl turned around and asked:

“Zoe, is that so?”

“…” Zoe bit her silver teeth, her cheeks trembled, and she suddenly said:

“It’s not like that!”

“Wizard Karl, it’s Lance who has been touching me. I didn’t allow it, and he even tried to force me.”

“Bitch!” Lance’s expression changed, and he roared loudly:

“What did you say?”

“Enough!” Karl frowned:

“Lance, as a disciple of the Six Rings Tower, you have repeatedly violated the rules of the shop. I can’t keep you here.”

“You can leave!”

“Huh?”

Lance was stunned and looked over in surprise:

“Wizard Karl, what did you say?”

“What?” Karl’s gaze was cold:

“Was what I said not clear enough? Or is it that besides losing an arm, your ears are also not working properly!”

“Get out!”

“You…” The spiritual power of a formal wizard was almost tangible, causing Lance to subconsciously take a step back. When he came back to his senses, he grunted through gritted teeth:

“Very good!”

“I didn’t want to stay in this broken shop anyway. But since you’re kicking me out, I will definitely tell Wizard Gould!”

Before he could finish speaking, he was blasted out of the shop by a stream of water.

Ever since Lance had come to the shop, the interpersonal relationships in the shop had been a mess. Karl had long wanted to kick him out. He just took advantage of today’s opportunity to do so, which would also bring him some peace.

“Pui!”

“Pui pui!”

Lance opened his mouth and spat out the dirty water that had been poured into his stomach. He stumbled to find his friend in the market.

“Cohen!”

“Come out and have a drink with me!”

While he was roaring to vent his anger, he did not notice that there was a figure in the distance quietly watching him.

‘Lance…’

The black figure sneered:

‘The Magic Forest is not the Kalim Continent. Without the protection of a formal wizard, do you think you can still survive?’

‘After waiting for a few months, the opportunity…’

‘Has finally come!’
