Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Lord of Source Essence, Taiwei Jade Emperor

Somewhere in a tavern.

A Colon noble, drunk and laughing heartily, reached out and pulled a tall woman into his embrace.

“You all, continue!”

He waved his hand, picked up the woman, and staggered towards the second floor.

He swayed along the way, causing the woman in his arms to scream loudly, while laughter echoed from downstairs.

“Bang!”

Accompanied by the closing of the second-floor private room door, the people downstairs also withdrew their gazes and continued to drink and shout.

A long while passed.

“Why has the Earl been up there for so long today?”

Someone muttered:

“He usually comes down much sooner.”

“Could he have fallen asleep?” One person put down his wine glass and frowned, saying:

“He still has to host General Hant tonight. Playing with women is fine, but he can’t let it interfere with important matters.”

“I’ll go call him!”

“Be careful.” The man sitting at the end of the table raised his head:

“Don’t anger the Earl.”

“Got it!”

While speaking, one person propped himself up and staggered to the second floor, gently knocking on the private room door:

“Earl?”

“Your Excellency Earl?”

Huh?

“Bang!”

With a sudden tightening in his heart, he kicked the door open, and the scene before him made his eyes widen.

“Earl!”

The roar caused the people downstairs to rush up, and they were equally terrified by the scene inside.

The Earl, who had been drinking with them not long ago, had his body cut into countless pieces of flesh, and blood covered the entire room.

And the woman had also become a headless corpse.

The tavern’s soundproofing wasn’t good, so a slaughter scene this tragic couldn’t have happened without any sound.

Unless…

Some kind of special power was blocking it!

“Who did this?”

The roar echoed through the tavern.

…………

Signo City.

Ever since Thunder Spear Tucker led his army to invade a few years ago, this city had fallen into the hands of Colon.

With the Colon military’s continued efforts, Signo City, once located on the front lines, had gradually become a rear base.

Mainly used for transporting supplies.

The former Noble Council Hall had now become the place where Logistics General Leiden handled various affairs.

“Report!”

The frantic voice of a messenger interrupted Leiden’s train of thought.

“The granary is on fire! The artillery camp has been attacked by rebels! The gunpowder depot is reportedly in critical condition.”

“Oh!”

Leiden raised his head, his eyes flashing:

“The resistance fighters in Signo City don’t have this kind of power, so, is it the same situation that Bob encountered?”

“If it were a few days ago, I might have fallen for it, but now…”

“Pass down the order!”

He stood up, picked up his sword, his expression serious:

“Everyone, follow me! We will clear out the rebels!”

“Yes!”

The messenger responded, and immediately the nearby soldiers mobilized and rushed towards the gunpowder depot.

On a rooftop not far away.

Several wizard apprentices frowned as they looked at the scene below.

“What do we do now?”

Someone asked in a low voice:

“Leiden didn’t send guards to assist the garrison, but instead led the troops himself, and he still has many guards around him.”

“Damn it!” One person gnashed his teeth and shouted angrily:

“The people of Colon must already know that the Alliance has joined the war, that’s why they are so vigilant.”

“So what?” Among them, a man with fiery red hair and strange eyes grinned:

“Just because they are vigilant, does that mean we can’t kill them?”

“Gaga…”

“That makes it more interesting!”

“Johnson.” Someone’s expression changed:

“What are you going to do?”

“Of course, complete the mission.” Johnson grinned, and his figure flashed as he pounced towards a street below.

Vanilla Market.

Once the most prosperous market in Signo City, even after being occupied by Colon, it was still bustling with people.

“Come on!”

Johnson, who had fallen from the sky, looked crazed. In the horrified eyes of others, he crushed a rune.

First-circle spell—Release Chaos!

An invisible mental wave expanded from him as the center, impacting people’s minds in all directions.

The next moment.

“Roar!”

One person roared to the sky, his eyes turning red at some point, and then he charged into the crowd like a madman.

And not just him.

The consciousness of the people nearby who were affected by the spell and failed to avoid its judgment were all devoured by madness.

These people, like wild dogs who had lost their minds, pounced on the crowd.

They tore at the people nearby, regardless of whether they were their friends or family, completely ignoring them.

Sharp teeth tore at flesh and blood, accelerating the spread of chaos.

“Ah!”

The crowd was completely frenzied. Those who still had their senses ran wildly into the distance, and the chaos surged towards the army not far away.

“What’s going on?”

“Be careful!”

“Open fire!”

“Quickly, open fire!”

***

“This madman.” On the rooftop, a wizard apprentice’s face turned pale:

“Release Chaos is a forbidden technique of Nightmare Wizards. He doesn’t know how many people he will kill by doing this!”

“But it did create an opportunity for us.” Someone’s eyes flashed:

“There are at least a thousand people in the Vanilla Market. Even if the Colon army is hit by them, they will be in chaos.”

“Hmm…”

“The target has retreated!”

“Go!”

One person waved his hand:

“Complete the mission first. As for the mess here… it was done by that madman Johnson, and it has nothing to do with us.”

“Not bad!”

“Let’s go!”

Several wizard apprentices each cast their spells and rushed towards their mission target.

Soon.

The Colon military’s peak grand knight, Leiden, died at the hands of the mad dog Johnson, and the news quickly spread.

…………

Manor.

This place was located in the suburbs.

The environment was beautiful, secluded, and undisturbed.

“Creak…”

Accompanied by the heavy door being pushed open from the outside, the blinding sunlight poured into the hall through the gap.

Several wizard apprentices were gathered together, pointing at the map on the long table.

“Venomous Wolf Jeff is a general of the Colon military. This person was once as famous as Thunder Spear Tucker.”

“Although he is not a legend, his strength among grand knights is definitely among the strongest.”

One person spoke:

“Strength is one thing, but the key is that this person is cunning and ruthless. I don’t know how many people have died at his hands.”

“Hmph!”

“He once poisoned hundreds of people, including women and children, to achieve his goals.”

“What?” A female wizard apprentice looked surprised, and then gritted her teeth and said:

“This kind of person deserves to die!”

“Yes, he deserves to die.” Someone said:

“The key question is, how do we kill him?”

“Jeff never acts alone, and he is always protected by Colon wizard apprentices. Especially recently, he hasn’t left the military camp, just to guard against our assassinations.”

The female wizard apprentice said:

“Then let’s find a way to get him out. I don’t believe…”

“What’s that sound?”

A low whistling sound interrupted her words, and she subconsciously raised her head to look in the direction of the sound.

The whistling sound grew louder and closer.

“Not good!”

“It’s a cannonball!”

“Boom!”

A cannonball wrapped in flames broke through the roof and landed in the middle of the hall, then exploded with a deafening roar.

And there was more than one cannonball.

“Boom!”

“Rumble…”

The continuous bombardment of cannonballs directly turned the manor into a sea of fire, and the core area was bombarded in turn.

In the distance.

A middle-aged man with a sinister expression put down the device he was using to look into the distance and gently waved his hand:

“Let the wizard apprentices go and clear the battlefield.”

“Yes!”

The soldiers below responded, and immediately several wizard apprentices rushed towards the manor, manipulating flames to sweep back and forth.

The extreme heat could melt gold and iron, and none of the gathered Alliance wizard apprentices survived.

…………

At a banquet.

A wizard who had used a transformation technique to disguise himself as a guest at the banquet gave a fatal blow to a Colon noble.

On a battlefield.

Several wizard apprentices hid among the soldiers, and after approaching their target, they suddenly launched an attack, killing a Colon general.

In a room.

Several Colon nobles spat out blood, their bodies convulsing and collapsing to the ground.

In just over a month, such scenes happened everywhere.

Wizard apprentices from the Swamp Alliance, with the help of mysterious magic, launched assassinations against important figures in Colon.

Illusions!

Poisons!

Manipulating puppets!

Setting traps!

***

The methods of the wizard apprentices were strange and difficult to defend against. Even though the Colon side was prepared, people were still assassinated one after another.

The situation on the battlefield also changed accordingly.

Black Swamp.

Island.

Sybil, who had returned from completing her mission, was holding Karl’s golden token, looking at it back and forth, her eyes filled with amazement and envy.

“You alone earned the credit for killing a legendary knight. You are the first one in the entire Swamp Alliance to do that.”

“Just lucky.” Karl smiled faintly:

“I can only say that I was lucky, or that my companions were unlucky. Didn’t you also assassinate a legend?”

“We were a group of six, one died, two were seriously injured, and in the end, five of us shared the credit.” Sybil handed the golden token back:

“If you want to get this kind of token, you have to kill five more legends!”

As she spoke,

She shook her head gently.

Legendary knights were not so easy to kill!

Moreover, the legends of Colon were all generals in the army, with many guards around them and Fire Thieves at their disposal.

The only legendary knights that had been successfully assassinated so far, including Bob who died at Karl’s hands, were only four.

If they were so difficult to kill when they were unprepared, they would be even more difficult to kill when they were prepared.

“I heard you took on another mission?”

Karl put away the token:

“Why are you pushing yourself so hard?”

“It seems you don’t know yet.” Sybil sighed:

“The Star Gate that the Divine Domain promised has already been delivered, but this Star Gate is not intact.”

“Each time it opens, it can only send a small number of people to the Wizard World.”

Huh?

Karl raised an eyebrow.

He wasn’t surprised that the Star Gate was incomplete.

After all, the angel Remiel had already said that the Star Gate given to the Alliance could only transmit in one direction.

But she didn’t say there was a time limit.

“So…” Sybil said:

“The formal wizards have occupied some of the spots, and the remaining wizard apprentices all want to be in the first batch to go over. To be fair, the Alliance has provided a ranking system, which is based on merit. You definitely don’t have to worry about that.”

Karl touched the token on his body, a smile appearing on his face.

No wonder!

Everyone said that this token was very important, and even Sybil looked envious. It seemed that he should be in the first batch.

Good!

They talked again about their views on the future. Compared to Karl’s caution, Sybil was full of confidence.

***

In her opinion.

With the addition of the Swamp Alliance, the Colon generals and nobles were dying one after another. Those who survived were trying their best to guard against assassinations. The Allied forces had already recovered several cities, and the possibility of final victory was very high.

As for firearms and cannons…

Although their power wasn’t weak, anyone could master them. The Allied forces already had their own firearm teams.

Once firearms were popularized among the Allied forces, they would be no weaker than Colon.

After seeing Sybil off, Karl pondered for a moment before putting away his distracting thoughts and walking into a secluded meditation chamber.

Hah…

Fire Rune!

With a gentle wave of his long sleeve, the torches placed in the four corners immediately ignited, illuminating the entire room.

On the floor of the room was a huge image, with a small Taiji at its core and Bagua around it.

This painting,

Any transmigrator from Earth would find familiar, but the details were different.

For example, the Taiji diagram.

It was not the common large-headed fish Taiji diagram, but a small-headed fish one. The Bagua around it was also more abstract.

It was similar but not quite.

He took a deep breath.

Karl stepped into the center of the image, placing a sacrifice at each of the two cores of the Taiji diagram.

Then he closed his eyes and chanted silently.

“Lord of Source Essence!”

The Divine Domain Fragment could turn Source Essence into his own power, so it was normal to give himself such a title.

“King of Myriad Forms!”

Karl wanted to walk the path of a bloodline wizard, and he would probably transform his form in the future, so he added the title of King of Myriad Forms.

“Master of Fear!”

He possessed the Abyssal Bloodline, whose signature trait was the Aura of Fear. Of course, the title of a deity had to be exaggerated.

“Taiwei Jade Emperor!”

This title was entirely because of his nostalgia for his past life.

The reason for giving himself so many ‘titles’ was not only because they sounded good, but also to prevent ‘name clashes’.

‘I don’t believe it. Which deity would use the same ‘symbol’ and the same titles as me?’

After completing all of this, Karl held his breath and waited quietly.

Would there be a reaction?

The preparations he had made today were the result of his research on the knowledge of the gods.

If it still didn’t work…

Then there was really no other way!

Suddenly.

The room, which had been making subtle sounds, became completely silent. The air seemed to stop moving, and a sense of illusion floated into his heart.

This is…

Karl suddenly opened his eyes.

But the scene before him was no longer his residence, but the Divine Domain Fragment!

In the center of the Divine Domain Fragment was an image identical to the one he had drawn in his room.

It worked!

Without relying on the ‘golden finger’ in the depths of his soul, but relying on his own knowledge, he had entered the Divine Domain Fragment for the first time in a completely new way!

No!

Karl shook his head gently.

“Others can only be sensed by the Divine Domain Fragment at most, but cannot come here. I am still an exception.”

Other World.

Rapid Flow City.

This was the name the people had given to their new city.

Because not far from the city, there was a rapid stream that led directly to the Endless Sea, which served as a landmark.

“Elder Karl.”

A manager from the Dragon King Trading Company came up to him, his voice urgent:

“I’m troubling you.”

“Lead the way.” Karl’s expression was solemn:

“Where is the person?”

“This way!” The manager hurriedly led the way, bringing him to a courtyard heavily guarded by soldiers:

“They are inside.”

He seemed to be afraid of something inside and didn’t dare to go in.

Karl nodded and pushed the door open.

There were already several people waiting in the courtyard, all familiar faces: Susan, Connie, and Quincy.

Besides them, there was also a patient with a pale face.

“Karl!”

Seeing Karl enter, the others nodded to him.

Karl nodded to the others and quickly came to the patient, placing one hand on the patient’s chest.

Analysis Technique!

After a moment.

He withdrew his hand with a grim expression.

“How is it?” Susan asked:

“Is it?”

“Yes!”

Karl sighed:

“It’s the Water Plague!”

“Ah!”

“It’s really the Water Plague?”

“Could it be that even after escaping here, we still couldn’t avoid it?”

“……”

His words were not only heard by the people in front of him, but also by those guarding outside the courtyard.

A sense of panic spread uncontrollably.

“Ah!”

“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”

The patient hugged his head with both hands, curled up, and trembled non-stop. The fear of death had severely distorted his voice.

Alas!

Karl sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Even though he was proficient in bloodline magic, he was powerless against the Water Plague.

The Water Plague,

Was caused by the power of a deity, and he, just a wizard apprentice, was far from being able to solve it.

“Come.”

Connie gestured:

“Let’s talk inside.”

The news of a Water Plague patient appearing in Rapid Flow City quickly reached Lula and the others, and they all rushed over soon after.

“We are hundreds of miles away from Free Port. I didn’t expect that the Water Plague still wouldn’t let us go.”

Lula sighed:

“The watchtower on the mountain also sent news that they had discovered traces of Merfolk nearby. Are we going to have to move Rapid Flow City again?”

“Since the will of the Evil God is reviving in the Endless Sea, as long as we are close to the Endless Sea, we will inevitably be affected.” Connie said:

“Although this is a bad thing, from a certain point of view, it may not be a bad thing.”

“Oh!” Lula tilted her head:

“How so?”

“The Endless Sea has nurtured many people, not only Duke Ferdinand, but also the people of Duke Fostad have to rely on this sea for their livelihood.” Connie said:

“So in the past, the Duke’s envoys might not have been interested in building Rapid Flow City or conquering Free Port, but now they will definitely take action.”

Lula’s eyes lit up.

That’s right!

If they lost the seafood from the Endless Sea, those nobles might only lose some delicacies on their tables.

But many common people would starve to death because of it!

The Duke couldn’t possibly watch such a thing happen.

“That’s right!”

Quincy clapped his hands:

“I’m familiar with the style of those envoys. If we tell them the truth, they might not take it to heart.”

“As long as we exaggerate the consequences, they will be afraid of taking responsibility and will definitely report to the Duke, who will send people to solve the problem!”

“Where is the envoy?” Lula looked at Susan:

“He should know by now, right?”

The Duke’s envoy had already settled in Rapid Flow City a few months ago, but he usually didn’t show himself.

The Trading Company had no choice but to serve him well.

“He definitely knows.”

Susan said:

“I sent someone to report it as soon as it happened.”

“I’ll go urge him.” Lula stood up and instructed:

“Keep an eye on the Water Plague patient. Take care of him as much as possible before he loses his mind. After he loses his mind… cremate him!”

“Yes!”

Everyone responded.

The people had put a lot of effort into building Rapid Flow City. If they announced another relocation, no one could guarantee what would happen. Public resentment would definitely be unavoidable.

Therefore,

They had to protect Rapid Flow City no matter what.

It would be best if they could take back Free Port, but they would need the Duke’s envoy to put in more effort, as they couldn’t do it alone.

…………

“Merfolk have appeared nearby.”

After everyone dispersed, Quincy moved closer to Karl:

“It seems Rapid Flow City will soon be unsafe as well.”

“Not so fast.” Karl shook his head:

“Only a very few special individuals among the Merfolk have intelligence. The others only move by instinct.”

“Rapid Flow City is hundreds of miles away from Free Port. A few stray Merfolk can’t cause much trouble. As long as the Merfolk army doesn’t come, there won’t be any problems.”

“That’s true.” Quincy nodded:

“Then do you think the Duke will send troops?”

“You should know more about this than I do.” Karl laughed:

“Besides Black City and Free Port, I haven’t been to any other places. I was just about to ask you.”

“Haha…” Quincy laughed:

“You are too modest.”

“But I have been to many places, and even to other Dukes’ territories. I have seen a lot of scenery.”

This grand knight, recruited by Lula, had serious character flaws, such as arrogance, pride, and recklessness.

But he was very humble when facing someone stronger than him.

Especially in front of Karl, he was even a bit fawning.

Through him, Karl also gained a better understanding of this world, such as the titles of the Dukes.

According to legends.

The gods of ancient times would occasionally leave the Divine Realm and come to the mortal world to wander, and sometimes, they would leave behind their bloodline due to temporary feelings.

The Dukes!

That’s how they came to be.

A long, long time ago, Dukes were also called Demigods. They possessed a portion of the gods’ authority.

It was said that some powerful Demigods even possessed the power to slay gods.

“Duke Ferdinand possesses the bloodline of the God of Slumber, so he spends most of his time sleeping.”

“Or rather…”

“Resting?”

“The Duke is not keen on sharing his bloodline. He doesn’t have many children either. Princess Mevia is considered to be the most outstanding. She inherited the power of death, and her city is also called the City of Death.”

“I went there once, and I never want to go a second time!”

Quincy shook his head with lingering fear, and then said:

“City Lord Soden doesn’t seem to have inherited the divine power in the Duke’s bloodline. He is just an ordinary legend.”

“But he likes to sleep a lot. Maybe he possesses the power of the God of Slumber?”

“Who knows?”

“The current City Lord Soden is definitely dead. Even a legend is no match for those Merfolk.”

In the evening.

Quincy left Karl’s residence.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face, his eyes flashing. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he quickly returned to his room.

“Thud!”

A thick book was taken out of his arms and placed on the table.

“The thing was hidden so well. Could it be that Karl’s power is related to the things on this book?”

“Hehe…”

“He’s not that old, and he hasn’t been a grand knight for long, but he has the power of a peak grand knight. If there’s nothing strange about that, how could it be possible?”

His eyes flashing, Quincy slowly opened the book.

“Gods?”

“Lord of Source Essence? Taiwei Jade Emperor?”

Quincy’s expression was strange:

“What are these things?”

The next day.

Connie came to his door.

“What is it?”

Quincy, his eyes bloodshot, opened the door listlessly.

“Hmm.”

Connie frowned:

“This morning, Elder Karl said that a book in his room was missing. Have you seen it?”

“What do you mean by that?” Quincy’s expression changed, and he shouted loudly:

“Are you suspecting that I stole his things?”

“I, a grand knight, would steal someone else’s things? Karl often disappears and no one knows where he goes. His residence is not a secret. It’s normal for things to be stolen.”

“Don’t get excited.” Connie reached out and pressed down:

“I don’t mean anything else. It’s just that Elder Karl said that the missing book was related to the gods. This kind of knowledge is fine to look at, but if you try to follow the steps in it, it might lead to big trouble.”

“Big trouble?” Quincy’s eyes flickered:

“What kind of big trouble?”

“Don’t think I don’t know. When the Moon Goddess fell, she isolated all the gods outside. No one can contact them.”

“Yes.” Connie nodded:

“Theoretically, that’s true, but you also know that this world might harbor the will of some Evil Gods. What if…”

“In short, it’s fine if it’s useless. But if it’s useful, it’s very likely to establish a connection with an Evil God, and once that connection is made, you will be entangled forever.”
