Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Invisibility Cloak and Love Story

Other World!

Within a dense forest.

Karl, wielding dual swords, slowly stepped into it, the thick leaves blocking the light of the crimson moon.

His vision darkened.

“Woo…”

A low growl came from the side. Karl subconsciously looked sideways, the skin on his back suddenly tightening.

A diversionary tactic?

“These monsters actually understand tactics!”

Shaking his head, he swung the broadsword in his hand backward.

“Tsss!”

The extreme speed made the broadsword’s blade flash a bright light in the darkness, instantly illuminating the surroundings.

The dark shadow that pounced from behind was split in two in front of the blade, turning into two stones that fell heavily to the ground.

“Thud!”

The sound of the landing was dull.

“Woo-ow!”

The growls in the darkness suddenly intensified.

“Swish, swish!”

Dark shadows appeared nearby, darting through the bushes and grass, occasionally pouncing towards Karl.

With the help of the light scattered by the shaking leaves, one could see the appearance of these dark shadows.

Corrupted giant wolves!

These were forest wolves that had been cursed.

Their bodies were huge and distorted, their fur had lost its original luster, becoming dull and lifeless, covered with mottled rotten flesh and greenish-yellow sores, emitting a disgusting stench.

Their eyes were deeply sunken, their eyeballs cloudy and bloodshot, revealing a kind of extreme madness and despair.

Their throats were corroded, leaving only a hollow cavity, their voices hoarse, their roars low and frantic.

Already dead, they were awakened by a curse, their size and strength greatly increased, attacking any life that entered this forest. The mist that permeated around them had the power to corrode everything.

Combat Technique ━ Gale Slash!

Facing the attack of the wolf pack, Karl’s expression remained unchanged. His body shrank slightly, and then a sky full of sword shadows bloomed.

With extreme speed and strength, he easily tore through the wolf pack in front of him, even letting out a low sword cry.

“Boom!”

The earth trembled.

The surrounding wolf pack suddenly disappeared.

Karl sheathed his sword and looked towards the depths of the darkness.

“Thump!”

“Thump, thump!”

The earth shook violently.

A huge black shadow slowly walked out of the darkness.

This was a Corrupted giant wolf with a terrifying physique, looking like a moving house from afar.

The alpha wolf!

As the ordinary Corrupted giant wolves were unable to take down their opponent, the ultimate monster hidden in the depths of the forest finally appeared.

“Howl!”

The forest trembled.

The Corrupted giant wolf with its terrifying physique turned into a black shadow and charged straight at Karl.

Although it was not a legendary creature, the strength and speed it erupted with were not much different from those of a legendary creature.

This alpha wolf belonged to the top magical creatures, but it was slightly inferior to a first-order low-grade legendary creature.

“Good!”

“I’m just going to use you to test my current strength!”

Karl’s eyes lit up, and he crossed the broadsword in his hands in front of him. The surging battle aura within his body also erupted.

Combat Technique ━ Protection!

He didn’t choose to dodge, but planned to take the attack head-on, without even using magic or other means.

“Bang!”

The man and the wolf collided head-on.

The wolf’s head was more than a man’s height, covered in mud, blood, and sores, pushing Karl back frantically.

Two deep gullies were plowed into the ground.

The corrosive fog enveloped Karl, his clothes and flesh rapidly dissolving under the erosion of the fog.

In terms of his current strength alone, he was clearly inferior to the alpha wolf.

“Hmph!”

With a muffled grunt, Karl’s eyes suddenly became deep and dark, illusory tentacles emerging from his back.

A layer of dark light enveloped his whole body.

Bloodline Magic!

The blessing of the second-order Abyssal creature’s bloodline power raised his explosive power and recovery ability to a new level.

His previously unsustainable state gradually stabilized, and his corroded and cracked skin recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And there was also…

Aura of Fear!

Even the weakened version of the Aura of Fear still concealed the formless pressure of a second-order Abyssal creature.

Even the alpha wolf of the Corrupted giant wolves couldn’t help but pause.

Secret Technique ━ Gigantism!

Karl’s figure flickered, instantly transforming into a giant about six meters tall, wielding his dual swords and smashing them down fiercely.

“Boom!”

The huge Corrupted giant wolf was cleaved to the ground by his sword.

The man and the wolf were like two giants and ferocious beasts from ancient times, fighting fiercely in this dense forest.

“Rumble…”

The earth cracked, trees were uprooted, and amidst the billowing smoke and dust, two colliding figures could be vaguely seen.

After an unknown amount of time.

“Thud!”

The huge wolf’s head rolled to the ground.

Karl, covered in blood, used his giant sword to cut open the wolf’s corpse and took out the beating heart from within.

“Being able to resist the power of petrification, it must be a high-grade magic material.”

He wiped it on his body and casually put it in his pocket.

“Come in!”

Shrinking his body, Karl walked outside and shouted:

“Be careful, there should be a few Corrupted giant wolves that haven’t died. Find them and finish them off before we clear the path.”

“Yes!”

“Grand Knight Karl!”

“…”

The group of people guarding outside the forest responded loudly, their eyes filled with respect as they looked at him, and then they began to cut down trees and clear the forest.

Fishermen rely on the sea for their livelihood.

The people of Free Port couldn’t live without the Endless Sea, so they found another place to rebuild their city.

But building a city wasn’t easy.

It took them several months just to choose a suitable location, and then they had to clear all the obstacles in their way one by one.

This dense forest, because of the group of Corrupted giant wolves entrenched within, had not been taken down until today, when Karl took action.

Name: Karl

Constitution: 4.2

Mental Power: 4.35

Source Essence: 0

Level: Grand Knight, Senior Wizard Apprentice

Thanks to the progress in Bloodline Magic, Karl had integrated the bloodline of a second-order Abyssal creature into his body.

This directly raised his Constitution value from 3.8 to 4.2.

It was not just an increase in numbers.

Once he activated his bloodline, his explosive power, endurance, and recovery ability would reach an inhuman level.

Furthermore, he had the blessings of various traits such as low-level toxin immunity, low-level illusion immunity, abnormal status removal, and danger perception.

His Mental Power had also increased somewhat.

And this was only with a 1% bloodline progress.

If he could completely fuse the bloodline, the increase in strength would definitely be even more terrifying.

He was afraid that he would be completely immune to toxins and illusions, fearless of any abnormal status, just like the legendary Abyssal creatures, able to ignore all low-level magic.

“Strength!”

Karl clenched his fists.

“In the early stages of growth, the Abyssal Giant Squid should increase its strength first, and then its mental power.”

“I’m the same.”

“My strength has been increasing continuously for the past month. If it can be maintained, and with the flesh and blood of several legendary creatures to devour and refine, it’s not impossible for my Constitution to reach 5 within a few years.”

He would only be in his early thirties in a few years. A peak Grand Knight in his thirties was extremely rare, even among the descendants of the royal family and dukes.

“Karl!” Captain Connie of the Windbreaker waved from afar:

“Did you take care of the wolf pack?”

“Yes.”

Karl nodded:

“It took some time.”

“…” Connie smiled wryly:

“I was planning to call a few more people to help, but I didn’t expect… that you could handle it alone.”

“Even Sea God Hawke might not be able to do that.”

He had hurriedly called for people, but before he could gather everyone, he heard that the trouble had already been resolved.

Naturally, he was very surprised.

“The wolf pack’s strength wasn’t actually that strong. The trouble was the corrosive fog around them.” Karl said:

“I just happen to have some means to resist it.”

If he hadn’t fused with the Abyssal bloodline, it would have been very difficult for him to resolve the situation. Now it was different.

The Abyssal bloodline could resist corrosive aura.

“Yes.” Connie nodded and explained:

“When Death God Cronus fell, His power spread across the land, and the undead in many places were awakened from underground by this power.”

“This forest is one of them.”

He turned around and looked at the dense forest.

“The power of death not only awakened the undead, but also gave them the power to corrode all living beings.”

“Even the battle aura of a Grand Knight can’t withstand it. Fortunately, you have a way to deal with them.”

“Death God…” Karl suddenly understood, no wonder those Corrupted giant wolves were half-dead, and then asked curiously:

“This world has lost the protection of the gods, and all kinds of strange creatures are running rampant. The living space for humans is getting smaller and smaller. What do you think the future will be like?”

Connie was silent.

Extinction!

Not just humans.

From the information he had gathered from exploring many ruins, he analyzed that this world would eventually meet its demise.

“According to the information I’ve investigated, the Moon Goddess hasn’t truly fallen.”

Connie said slowly:

“There is still hope.”

“Perhaps.” Karl shrugged:

“I still have things to do, I’ll be going now.”

“Uh…” Connie opened his mouth, but seeing Karl walking away, he shook his head helplessly:

“Disappearing again, what is he busy with all day?”

“Connie!” A figure leaped from afar, flickering a few times before landing nearby, scanning the surroundings:

“Resolved?”

“Resolved.” Connie nodded:

“Karl handled it alone.”

“Tsk, tsk…” Hant shook his head and clicked his tongue:

“No wonder the Leader said Grand Knight Karl is very strong. To be able to handle the wolf pack alone is truly remarkable.”

He then asked in confusion:

“Why is he so strong?”

Hant was a member of the Sea God Society. He had been a Grand Knight for more than ten years and was also quite famous.

But he wouldn’t dare to face the wolf pack here alone.

Karl had only been a Grand Knight for a few years, but his strength was already so terrifying, so he was naturally curious.

“I’ve seen Karl in action.”

Connie said as he walked:

“His strength is about the same as yours and mine, but the breathing technique he cultivates is of a higher order. It should be the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique that the gods passed down to their guardians. After using the secret technique, his size and strength will greatly increase.”

Hant nodded.

He had also seen Karl’s gigantic form, but it shouldn’t have been that powerful.

“Besides that…” Connie stroked his chin:

“Karl is also a rare possessor of multiple runes. He has at least three runes on him.”

“And it’s possible that they are all Super Runes!”

“One is Earth Shaker, one can slow down and weaken attacks that approach it, and one can control water flow.”

“Having three Super Runes, plus the weapons in his hands, is the fundamental reason for Karl’s strength.”

He didn’t know that Karl possessed magic, so he could only attribute those strange abilities to runes.

Actually, it was about the same.

“Three Super Runes!”

Hant grinned:

“No wonder.”

“I heard he’s collecting Great God’s Grace. Could it be that he wants to exchange another Super Rune from the Duke’s envoy?”

He was already so powerful now. If he had another Super Rune, he would probably be even stronger than Leader Hawke.

“Probably.” Connie nodded:

“But Karl said that because of the turmoil in Free Port, he wasn’t able to bring out the Great God’s Grace he had on hand.”

“What a pity!”

“It’s really a pity.” Hant nodded, remembering something, and said:

“Flame Island drove our people out.”

“Oh!”

Connie raised an eyebrow.

***

Flame Island was located not far from the coastline and was also a place they had to pass through when sailing from their chosen new location.

If they couldn’t persuade the people on the island, then they would have to worry every time they went to sea in the future.

“I know the Island Lord.”

Connie said:

“I’ll go and try.”

***

“After this verification, with the activation of the bloodline power, I can already contend with top-tier magical creatures.”

“That is, I’m not weaker than a peak grand knight.”

“I just don’t know, after adding wizardry enhancements, if I can kill a legendary creature alone?”

Touching his chin, Karl gently shook his head:

“Forget it!”

“There’s no need to take that risk.”

“The benefit of integrating the Abyssal bloodline isn’t in the improvement of strength, but in making the future path passable, increasing the chances of advancing to grand knight.”

“Hmm?”

A carrier pigeon flew in from outside.

Being able to pass through the poisonous miasma and wizardry traps outside, it meant this carrier pigeon had passed his security verification.

“Orseia?”

Blinking, Karl’s face showed confusion, then he belatedly touched his forehead:

“Sybil’s merchant friend.”

He had been in ‘secluded cultivation’ for the past few months, and had rarely even attended the ‘Starry Secret Society’ gatherings.

He had almost forgotten about her.

“A high-level magic item, then I must go and broaden my horizons.”

…………

Orseia’s secret shop.

Located at the second house on the left after turning at the seventh Tung tree in the Swamp Alliance’s headquarters.

Today, Orseia was dressed in a gorgeous formal dress, holding a delicate magic staff, and curtsied like a lady.

“Respected Baron Karl, we have finally met again.”

“Don’t laugh at me.” Karl shook his head with a wry smile:

“Baron…”

“It’s such a strange yet familiar term.”

Since embarking on the path of a wizard, especially after coming to the Black Swamp, he had forgotten that he was still a baron.

“Let me introduce you.”

Orseia smiled, and pointed to a charming woman beside her:

“My little sister Amy, also from the Kingdom of Slo, a wizard apprentice with outstanding talent.”

“Amy!”

“This is Karl, a famous alchemist in the Black Swamp, and also a member of the Starry Secret Society.”

“You’re exaggerating a bit.” Karl shook his head:

“My reputation in alchemy, I’m afraid not many people in the entire Black Swamp know about it.”

“Mr. Karl, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Amy’s big eyes were clear and bright, with a youthful innocence on her face:

“The Starry Secret Society, is that the organization that was established not long ago, with only seventeen members at the moment?”

“Yes.” Karl nodded.

“Wow!” Amy covered her mouth with both hands, a look of amazement on her face:

“I heard that the requirements for joining the Starry Secret Society are very high, and four of the dozen or so members are senior wizard apprentices.”

“The others also have their own special talents.”

“Mr. Karl was able to join the Starry Secret Society, it must be because of his talent in alchemy, right?”

“This…” Karl sighed:

“I also wish it was because of my talent, but unfortunately, it’s actually because my senior sister is one of the founders of the Starry Secret Society, so I was able to join.”

“You’re too modest.” Amy blinked her eyes:

“Then, can I join the Starry Secret Society?”

“As a member, I am qualified to recommend outsiders to join, but you need to complete a small task.” Karl gestured a ‘small’ sign, and smiled:

“This is to prove the potential of new members, with your potential, Amy, there will definitely be no problem.”

The young woman in front of him, though not old, was already an intermediate wizard apprentice, with extremely high talent.

Any faction would welcome her.

However, she didn’t hide her mental fluctuations at all, either she was fearless, or she was too naive.

She seemed to be the latter.

“Thank you!”

Amy looked excited:

“I will definitely work hard to prove my ability.”

“Alright!” Orseia shrugged:

“Karl, we’ve only just met, and you’ve already snatched away my good sister, but I trust Sybil.”

“But wait, you must never trust strangers.”

She said as she walked:

“Black wizards advocate disorder and chaos, and the host of this auction is a black wizard, so there will definitely be some not-so-good people participating. If anyone takes the initiative to strike up a conversation, remember not to pay attention to them.”

“Okay!”

Amy stuck out her tongue, looking cute.

The auction was deep in the Tung tree forest, where the leaves were dense, blocking out the sunlight, and a wide area had been cleared.

In the center.

Was a high platform.

An old man wearing a tall top hat stood in the middle, presiding over the auction, and was warming up when the three of them arrived.

The so-called warm-up.

Was when anyone in the venue who had items they wanted to sell could put them up for auction after being appraised by the host.

“Petrified Eye!”

“This is a magic item produced by an unknown alchemist, capable of easily petrifying a knight squire, and can currently be activated thirty times, priced at four magic stones.”

Hmm?

Karl’s eyelids twitched.

The items being auctioned on the stage looked very familiar, and if he wasn’t mistaken, they seemed to be from his own hand.

Back then, in order to integrate the petrification technique into the broadsword, he had experimented many times and also refined a batch of magic items.

Never thought…

He would see something he refined here.

“Sold!”

While he was in a daze, the host pointed to a bidder below:

“Four magic stones, this friend has won it.”

“The Wizardry Book of Trivicon, a travelogue personally written by a formal wizard, has a very high collection value.” The host continued to introduce:

“There may also be a wizard’s inheritance or treasure hidden within, you should have heard stories about discovering treasures from travelogues, the starting price is three magic stones, those interested can choose to bid.”

***

Soon.

The auction officially began.

“Detailed Explanation of Puppetry, a senior wizard apprentice compiled several books related to puppetry techniques into this detailed explanation. Although it only covers basic knowledge, it is still very rare, the starting price is five magic stones.”

“Six!”

“Seven!”

“……”

“Nine!”

“Nine magic stones sold!”

“Weak Sense Umbrella, something refined by a nightmare wizard who is proficient in alchemy, even if you hold an umbrella on a sunny day, it won’t make people feel strange.”

“What’s the use of that?” Someone asked in confusion.

“It can make people subconsciously ignore the abnormal things on the holder, and illogical actions, and it can also be used for the research of wizardry knowledge, especially since the material is expensive, the starting price is ten magic stones.”

“Ten!”

“Ten magic stones, is there anyone else bidding?”

“……”

“Ten magic stones sold!”

“Phantom Butterfly, a special magical creature that can release phantoms to confuse opponents.”

***

“Sister Orseia.” Amy asked softly:

“When will the high-level magic items come out?”

“Soon.” Orseia gestured:

“You look at the others first.”

“I can’t afford the others either.” Amy blinked:

“I just want to see what high-level magic items look like, I’ve never seen one before.”

Heh…

Karl chuckled.

She was really an honest child.

He actually had the same intention, but it wasn’t that he couldn’t afford the other things, but that he wasn’t interested in them.

With the abundant resources from the other world, he really didn’t lack ordinary magic items or wizardry materials.

“A feather from a young thunderbird.”

The host took out a white feather.

The feather was about three inches long, light and ethereal, purely white, and had a transcendent feeling.

Hmm?

Karl’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

This thing…

Was very familiar!

“Thunderbirds are legendary creatures, at least second-order beings, in legends, they can help deities travel between worlds.”

The host spoke:

“This feather comes from a magical creature with thunderbird bloodline, and can be used to refine magic items related to thunder.”

“Holding it, you can avoid being struck by lightning.”

“The starting price is five magic stones!”

Thunderbird?

There was a similar feather in Baird’s collection, but its quality was obviously higher than the auctioned item.

Karl thought for a moment, and raised his hand to signal:

“Six magic stones!”

“Six magic stones.” The host raised his voice:

“This friend bid six magic stones, is there any other friend willing to bid, is there any other friend willing to bid…”

“Sold!”

He got it easily.

***

“Everyone.”

After a long time of shouting, the host had to drink a cup of water before continuing with renewed energy:

“I know why many of you came here today, and next up, is a high-level magic item.”

“An invisibility cloak!”

He waved his hand, and the void beside him suddenly rippled like water, which also caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.

No one noticed that the item had already appeared in the venue.

“Swish!”

The ripples subsided.

A hot and beautiful woman appeared in the venue, and she raised a cloak in her right hand to signal.

The cloak was made of unknown feathers, and looked unremarkable.

“Invisibility cloak, capable of concealing aura, mental fluctuations, and even killing intent can be effectively hidden.”

The host shouted:

“Even the keen perception of a senior wizard apprentice would have difficulty detecting its presence.”

“If you have it, then you can imagine how much of an advantage you can gain when facing other wizard apprentices.”

“But you need to be careful, once you put on the invisibility cloak, you cannot cast spells, nor can you touch other things, or even move too fast, otherwise the invisibility state will be disrupted, but even with the above flaws, it is still a very rare high-level magic item!”

“Starting price, two hundred magic stones!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally calm venue was filled with commotion, and many people stood up.

“Two hundred and ten!”

“Two hundred and twenty!”

***

Just as the host said, possessing this invisibility cloak would have unimaginable benefits for duels.

Especially assassinations.

It was simply a perfect match!

Karl touched his chin, lost in thought.

Invisibility cloak?

Difficult for senior wizard apprentices to detect?

But…

He could clearly feel it.

Judging from the expressions of others, they were not plants, and it was impossible for them all to be plants, so it was true that they couldn’t detect it.

And it was also true that he could detect it.

As for the reason…

The power of the Abyssal creature’s bloodline!

Apart from this, there was no other explanation, which meant he had a super-strong perception that others didn’t.

“Two hundred and ninety magic stones!”

“Sold!”

In the end.

The invisibility cloak was sold for two hundred and ninety magic stones, a price that was relatively in line with expectations.

“Next.”

The host didn’t announce the end of the auction, but instead waved his hand:

“Is today’s most important item, also a high-level magic item, it is a book with magical powers.”

“Book title: 《Duke’s Love Story!》”

“This is a work of painstaking effort by a formal wizard, the book records the story of the wizard Duke and his wife’s love, affection, and mutual killing.”

“Be careful!”

“Never look at the contents of this book out of curiosity.”
