Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Looting

“Jackpot!”

Along with several wizardry traps being flattened, a secret chamber hidden underground appeared before Karl, its doors wide open.

Piles of magic stones forming a pointed mountain, stacks of magic crystals, and various top-tier meats sealed for preservation.

The value…

At least tens of thousands of magic stones!

Karl, his face covered with a thick beard, laughed heartily, portraying an arrogant and domineering legendary knight to the fullest.

‘Indeed, a horse doesn’t get fat without night grass, and a man doesn’t get rich without unexpected wealth. If I had to earn this many magic stones by working, I don’t know how long it would take.’

He shouldered the Gravity Warhammer and strode forward, collecting all the resources into the Divine Domain Fragment.

Others, seeing this, would at most be surprised by the large space of his storage magic item, and would never think of anything else.

“S-Sir…”

The three people following closely behind spoke tremulously:

“We’ve already told you about the secret chamber where we kept our collection, now… can you let us go?”

“What’s the rush?” Karl slowly turned around:

“It’s so chaotic around here right now, following me will at least guarantee your safety. Besides, although there are quite a few resources here, they don’t include what I’m really looking for.”

?

The three wore bitter smiles.

“Besides here, where else are there good things?” Karl picked up three magic crystals and tossed them to the three:

“Here, for you!”

One magic crystal can be exchanged for one hundred magic stones, but that’s just the official price; in reality, it’s worth far more.

In private exchanges, it can be traded for one hundred and twenty or thirty magic stones.

Over a hundred magic stones is undoubtedly a windfall for those who struggle to earn a few magic stones a month.

The three subconsciously caught the magic crystals, their breathing immediately hitched, and their heartbeats accelerated.

“If today’s harvest satisfies me, I’ll definitely satisfy you as well,” Karl grinned:

“So…”

“Where else?”

The three looked at each other, quickly exchanged opinions, and one of them raised his head and said in a muffled voice:

“I know a hidden place that might have what you’re looking for.”

“Oh!” Karl’s eyes lit up:

“Lead the way!”

Soon after.

“Haha…”

Looking at the second-order creature skeletons before him, Karl couldn’t help but laugh, stepping forward and storing them into the Divine Domain Fragment.

“Good!”

“You did very well!”

Although they were just second-order skeletons, not enough for a bloodline wizard to analyze the specific bloodline and advance accordingly, they were still worth a lot. Moreover, the key energy cores were still there, and for some reason, there were actually four types of second-order creature cores here.

For Karl, these resources were enough to cultivate to the third level of the Holy Demon Transformation, with some to spare.

As a ‘generous’ knight, he naturally wasn’t stingy with rewards, tossing out three magic crystals.

“Swish!”

The magic crystals flying towards the three suddenly paused in mid-air, then flew towards another direction.

“Tsk tsk…”

From the darkness, a person slowly walked out:

“Friend, you’re really generous, giving away such things so casually. It’s a bit of a waste to give them to those guys, though.”

Karl narrowed his eyes, looking at the newcomer.

This was a wizard wearing a Shadow Wizard’s robe. The wizardry inherent in the robe allowed him to blend into the darkness, making him difficult to perceive.

The staff in his hand resembled a hiltless longsword, and just a glance at it made one’s skin crawl.

A formal wizard!

“So useless!”

Collecting the magic crystals, the shadow wizard turned back to the person behind him, his voice cold:

“Didn’t you say that besides Vincent, only you knew about this place?”

“If I had arrived a step later, I’m afraid I would have only seen a completely looted secret chamber!”

“Sir,” the person behind him was dressed in fine clothes, with a Beast Market nameplate on his waist, likely one of the managers here.

He hurriedly bowed, saying:

“This is a treasure vault secretly set up by the Andrew family. Logically speaking… no one else should know about it.”

“Unless someone was secretly snooping around!”

He glared fiercely at the three people behind Karl as he said this.

“You might be right,” the shadow wizard nodded:

“But you almost ruined my big plan, so…”

“Bang!”

A phantom emerged from the ground, burrowing into the Beast Market manager’s body, then bursting out from within.

The flying flesh and blood made the three behind Karl pale, and one of them collapsed to the ground, his legs giving way.

“Legendary Knight!”

After killing the manager, the shadow wizard looked at Karl, his expression indifferent:

“I’m in a good mood today. Put down what you have, and I can let you leave.”

His voice was calm and his posture arrogant. He must have been of a very noble status and was used to treating knights as servants to be ordered around.

In reality.

Legendary knights were indeed far less powerful than wizards. Even a senior wizard apprentice could potentially kill one.

By letting him leave, he was already showing his ‘benevolence.’

“Heh…” Karl grinned:

“You talk too much!”

Charge!

The distance between the two was only a dozen meters, almost within reach for a legendary knight.

With a stomp of his foot, the air before him rippled like water, followed by a sonic boom.

The extreme speed turned his body into an afterimage, instantly appearing before the other party.

“Hoo…”

The Gravity Warhammer was raised high.

“Hmm?”

The shadow wizard’s face showed surprise, as if he hadn’t expected his speed to be so fast. However, no matter how fast his body was, it couldn’t compare to the speed of a wizard’s thoughts. As the staff in his hand flickered, black threads appeared out of thin air.

The threads were like a giant net, entangling Karl’s body and the warhammer in his hand, pulling him back sharply.

“Bang…”

The force of this pull could theoretically tear a legendary knight apart with ease.

But,

Boom!

Solidified battle aura surged from Karl’s body, shattering the threads entangling him like dry twigs.

The shadow wizard’s eyes contracted. Before he could react, his eyes suddenly turned blank.

A fear originating from the depths of his bloodline surged into his mind.

Aura of Fear!

“Go to hell!”

Karl’s face twisted into a grimace as the warhammer crashed down.

The terrifying power exploded the moment it touched the other party’s body, and the shadow wizard’s physical body shattered directly.

Hmm?

Karl raised an eyebrow.

The shattered body didn’t turn into flying flesh and blood, but rather into streaks of blood shadows that flew in all directions.

A clone?

“Stay here!”

His eyes widened, and the power that had already reached its limit surged again, a terrifying explosive force erupting from the warhammer.

Instantly.

Dozens of hammer shadows appeared in the air.

Angel’s Sting!

However, Karl was using a warhammer instead of a rapier, and the move had changed from a thrust to a downward smash.

What remained the same was the combination and explosion of extreme speed and power.

The hammer shadows chased after the clones that were trying to escape, smashing them relentlessly with terrifying force.

“Boom!”

The ground within a radius of dozens of meters sank down, and the air around Karl suddenly contracted.

It was as if a giant force had directly caused the void to collapse.

“Bang!”

A meat patty landed heavily on the ground.

The shadow wizard,

Dead!

“Pah!”

Having killed the other party with one blow, Karl’s face showed disdain:

“A mere first-circle, late stage wizard dares to act arrogantly in front of me. You were just asking for death!”

Not to mention a first-circle, late stage, even a first-circle, middle stage wizard would have been killed by him at such a close distance.

As he said this, he reached out and searched the corpse, stripping off everything, including the wizard’s robe.

“Someone has already found this place. It seems I can’t continue to wander around the Beast Market. Luckily, I got what I wanted.”

Turning back to look at the three trembling ‘followers’, Karl grinned:

“I gave you your reward, but you couldn’t hold onto it, so… you can’t blame me.”

“Goodbye!”

Before the three could react, his figure flashed, and he rushed towards the outer perimeter of the Beast Market.

…………

Leaving the Beast Market, Karl didn’t rush back to the shop, but instead headed towards the dense forest outside the market.

By now, the chaos had spread from the Beast Market to the entire Leipzig Market.

“Something’s not right!”

Looking back, Karl frowned slightly:

“This plan targeting Andrew should have been very secretive, so how did it cause such a big commotion?”

“It should have been a quick and decisive battle!”

“Now that the commotion is so big, it’s almost as if it was done on purpose, to lure people out.”

Shaking his head, he accelerated forward.

No matter what changes occurred, it had nothing to do with him. Now, he should first find a safe place to hide in the Other World, and when he came back in a few days, he would naturally know what was going on.

Hmm?

Not long after rushing into the forest, Karl suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Not far to his side, several figures were entangled and fighting each other, moving at an astonishing speed.

He recognized three of them.

Vincent!

The two people fighting him were Milia of the Capet family and Stride of the Monroe family.

***

The Capet family and the Monroe family had a feud, but this pair of men and women had fallen in love with each other.

Back when the Capet family was destroyed, Milia and Sam were able to escape because of Stride.

“But didn’t they go their separate ways?”

“It seems Stride was still worried about Milia, so he secretly came back to help her deal with her opponents.”

“Too bad!”

Karl shook his head lightly.

There were more than just the three of them in the fight; there was also a white-haired wizard.

The white-haired wizard was clearly with Vincent, and they were jointly attacking Milia and Sam, unleashing various wizardries in rapid succession.

Even if Vincent’s strength was not what it was in his prime, he was still a first-circle, middle stage wizard, and together, they were steadily gaining the upper hand.

“What’s going on?”

Karl’s face showed confusion:

“Milia made so many preparations to deal with Vincent, including having an inside man revolt and allies to help…”

“But now she’s the one on the losing end!”

When he rushed into the Beast Market, Milia was clearly in the upper hand, and Vincent could have been killed at any moment.

How long had it been?

The situation had suddenly changed drastically.

“Survivors of the Capet family, you finally managed to survive, but you insist on coming here to die,” Vincent said, his wizardry attacks relentless, and his words were taunting:

“Did you think I didn’t know someone was trying to deal with me?”

“It’s not just you!”

“All the actions against the Andrew family will fail, including that second-circle wizard you mentioned!”

As he spoke, he unleashed several types of wizardry in succession.

It was clear that Vincent practiced a variety of wizardries, not only from the School of Nature but also involving bloodline wizardry.

However, with the mental power of a first-circle, middle stage wizard, all of his wizardries were extremely powerful.

In comparison, Milia and Stride were in a precarious situation, constantly dodging and evading.

“Trying to escape?”

Vincent sneered:

“You can’t escape!”

“Stride,” Milia, her face pale, glanced at her lover, gritting her teeth, and took out an item from her body:

“I’ll hold them back, you go!”

She tossed the item in her hand as she said this.

“Bang!”

A first-circle, middle stage rune—Starlight Explosion!

Countless rays of starlight fell from the sky, like a torrential rain, showering down on Vincent and the other person who were chasing after them.

“Another rune!”

Vincent gritted his teeth and roared, releasing a defensive wizardry to resist, and continued his charge:

“I’d like to see how many runes you have left!”

“Hmm?”

Before he could finish speaking, a transparent conch shell suddenly appeared in the air before him, followed by a bewitching voice.

Banshee’s Wail!

“Shriek!”

The sharp, piercing sound vibrated rapidly in their eardrums, instantly transforming into a woman’s seductive voice.

Vincent’s eyes immediately showed confusion.

Opportunity!

Stride’s eyes lit up.

He didn’t take the chance to escape, but like Milia, cast a wizardry and quickly attacked the two.

“Bang!”

“Pfft…”

The wizardry light flew past.

Vincent coughed up blood and staggered backward, but his consciousness broke free from the influence of the Banshee’s Wail.

“It seems you took a lot of good things with you when the Capet family was destroyed. That’s even better. After I kill you, everything will be mine,” Vincent said:

“Die!”

As he roared, the staff in Vincent’s hand waved, creating afterimages, and first-circle wizardries bombarded them relentlessly.

Rocks shattered, and plants crumbled. Milia and Stride also fell heavily to the ground.

“Haha…”

Vincent panted, stepping forward, and a warning sign suddenly flashed in his mind. He turned his head sharply.

He saw a warhammer crashing down.

“Bang!”

A terrifying force erupted, and a layer of protective aura appeared on Vincent’s body, but it shattered instantly.

“Pfft!”

Vincent spat out blood and flew backward, roaring:

“Gravity Warhammer, you’re from Blood Claw…”

“No!”

“Who the hell are you?”

The Gravity Warhammer was originally the weapon of the bloodline wizard from Blood Claw, but when they ambushed the guests of the Beast Market, they were killed instead, and the weapon disappeared with them.

Now it had reappeared…

“Vincent!” Karl grinned:

“When you sold me out to ‘Blood Claw,’ did you ever think you’d have this day?”

As he spoke, he smashed down with the warhammer repeatedly, the terrifying power directly crushing all resistance.

“Friend!”

“It was a misunderstanding!”

“Don’t kill me, I’m a formal wizard of the Andrew family. If you kill me, you won’t be able to escape either!”

“I can compensate you!”

“Spare me!”

“Bang!”

His pleas were in vain. Karl smashed down several times, directly killing the already exhausted Vincent.

The shattered head, red and white, flew everywhere, and the headless corpse swayed before falling to the ground.

On the other side.

Milia and Stride had also joined forces to kill the white-haired wizard. The three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere became tense.

“What’s wrong?”

Karl grinned:

“Is this how you treat your saviors?”

“…” Milia’s beautiful eyes flickered, and then she slightly lowered the staff in her hand, showing goodwill:

“Thank you for your help, friend.”

“You’re welcome, I also have a grudge against Vincent,” Karl waved his hand, skillfully looting the corpses:

“I’ll also take the corpse next to you. Do you have a problem with that?”

Stride’s expression changed, and he was about to say something when Milia suddenly reached out to stop him.

“Of course,” Milia pulled Stride back:

“If it weren’t for your help, friend, we would have already died. It’s only right that you take the spoils.”

“Haha…” Karl laughed:

“You’re sensible!”

He strode over to the white-haired wizard’s corpse, looted it in front of the two, and then turned and left without saying another word.

“Milia,” Stride frowned, watching the other party’s figure gradually disappear:

“He’s just a legendary knight. Even if he’s at the first-circle, middle stage, there’s no need for the two of us to be afraid of him.”

“Legendary knight?” Milia shook her head lightly, her expression grave:

“You know that the wizardry I practice enhances my perception. This person is definitely not just a legendary knight.”

“Hmm?” Stride raised an eyebrow:

“You mean…”

“I’m not sure either,” Milia said:

“But I can sense a danger from him that is no less than Vincent’s. Besides, he did save us, so there’s no need to start a conflict with him.”

“And…”

“I have a very familiar feeling about him.”

“Familiar?” Stride shook his head lightly, not intending to delve further:

“Forget it!”

“Too bad, Sam…”

Milia’s eyes turned red.

They had thought that this operation would be foolproof, but they didn’t expect that Vincent still had a backup plan, and Sam had died on the spot.

In reality, if Stride hadn’t secretly followed them and intervened in time, she wouldn’t have survived either.

In the end.

They were still saved by an outsider, and almost lost their lives.

“Let’s go!”

Stride looked at Milia:

“This place isn’t safe.”

“Yeah,” Milia nodded, tears falling as they flashed and rushed into the depths of the forest.

After the two had left, Karl’s figure reappeared nearby, looking thoughtfully at their departing figures.

“Sam died?”

“Sigh!”

“Indeed, if you’re not strong enough, don’t take risks easily. It’s better to focus on improving your strength.”
