Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Leaving

“Let’s make it clear beforehand, if things don’t develop as you expect, I will look for an opportunity to leave.”

Under the night sky, Karl looked towards the City Lord’s Residence:

“But don’t worry.”

“Since I’ve agreed to take action, I will naturally do my best, but sometimes human power is limited.”

Even though he agreed to take action, he was still not optimistic about this operation.

As long as John is alive, these people have no hope.

“Yes.” Connie nodded:

“I understand.”

“It was originally a fight with our lives on the line, but now with Elder Karl and Miss Yana taking action, the chances of success are much higher.”

Karl is the number one expert in Rapid Flow City, second only to a Legendary Knight, so there’s no need to say more.

The key is.

A Desecrated Knight!

Connie knew about the Holy Sanctuary’s Desecrated Knights, and he was even more aware of the importance of Yana, this Legendary Knight.

“Tonight, the Death Knights will use the remaining people and puppets to lure away the Merfolk near the City Lord’s Residence.”

“Then take the opportunity to go in.”

Connie held a withered branch, sketching out the terrain on the ground:

“Based on how we’ve lured away the outer Merfolk these past few days, we can deduce their next route.”

“We just need to lure the Merfolk back when the Death Knights approach the City Lord’s Residence.”

“Then we can put the Death Knights in a desperate situation!”

This matter was undoubtedly very dangerous, and even if they succeeded in the end, they would be surrounded by Merfolk.

Moreover, there are many legendary creatures near the City Lord’s Residence, making it even more dangerous.

“Ron was one of my crew members when I was on the ship.”

Connie pointed to an inconspicuous young man in the crowd:

“He has a special ability, which is that his voice is very loud, as long as he shouts at a critical moment…”

“Phil has a coin, that ancient coin can conceal auras, and the two of them will cooperate to take action.”

“Interesting.” Karl raised an eyebrow:

“Captain Connie’s crew members are all talented!”

“The secrets buried in the Endless Sea are sometimes even older than the birth of the gods.” Connie looked towards the Endless Sea, his voice somber:

“In the process of exploration, there will inevitably be some encounters, but more often, people die in some place.”

“Mm!”

He brought the topic back:

“At that time, Guild Leader Hawke will also cooperate, and we will try our best to leave all the Death Knights behind.”

“Then…” Karl asked:

“How many Death Knights are there now?”

“More than two hundred.” Connie sighed:

“These past few days, those who died were all common people from Rapid Flow City, the Death Knights rarely take action themselves.”

More than two hundred?

That means there has been almost no reduction in their numbers.

Karl shook his head again.

Each Death Knight is an expert, and among them, there are eight at the Grand Knight level alone.

At night, each of these eight Grand Knights is no weaker than Connie.

Even stronger!

Hope is slim!

But it could also be seen that Connie’s resentment towards the Death Knights was extremely strong, and the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised.

He wished he could eat their flesh and drink their blood, willing to add his own life to the revenge.

“I have some methods that I can plant in advance along their route, and trigger them when necessary.”

Karl said:

“It should be able to cause some trouble for the Death Knights.”

“Oh!” Connie’s eyes lit up:

“That’s even better!”

…………

Time passed.

Gradually, it was late at night.

Black clouds covered the fragmented crimson moon in the sky, and the entire Free Port was enveloped in darkness.

An inexplicable aura accumulated in the air.

“Let’s go!”

Accompanied by a low shout.

The remaining less than one hundred people from Rapid Flow City, and less than two hundred Death Puppets, set off towards the City Lord’s Residence.

Behind them.

Were the Death Knights, fully armed and each with a mount.

Everything was proceeding according to plan.

Through the path cleared over the past few days, a passage had been opened up through the outer Merfolk of Free Port.

In the inner layers.

The common people of Rapid Flow City and the Death Puppets were needed to clear the way.

As the Guild Leader of the Sea God Society, Hawke seemed to have aged several decades in just a few days.

The wrinkles around his eyes were layered, there was more white in his temples, his eyes had become haggard, and all the endless pain was contained within.

“Take care!”

He patted his companion’s shoulder:

“This time, after luring away the Merfolk, there’s no need to come back, our mission… can be considered complete.”

“Guild Leader…” The other party’s eyes were red, and he nodded heavily:

“Take care!”

Saying that, he suddenly turned around and charged into the darkness with three companions, and soon after, roars came from the distance.

This meant that the Merfolk had been lured away, but whether the people used as bait would survive was unknown.

The crowd moved forward again.

Each time, three to five people were separated to lure away the Merfolk on the road ahead, gradually getting closer to the City Lord’s Residence.

Under the dark night, the City Lord’s Residence was like a giant beast lying on the ground, motionless.

The closer they got, the more dangerous it became.

The people of Rapid Flow City were not enough, and the puppets controlled by the Death Knights also began to rush into the distance.

They ran with all their might, just to lure the nearby Merfolk away.

The City Lord’s Residence,

Was gradually becoming discernible.

“Clop!”

The crisp sound of hooves rang out, and more than two hundred Death Knights, shrouded in darkness, silently approached.

“Kent!”

John’s gaze seemed to be able to see through the darkness, staring directly at the City Lord’s Residence ahead:

“After they lure away the nearby dangers, send out dozens of riders to charge from the side, and the rest will follow me in.”

“Yes.”

‘Kent’ was another Divine Blood Warrior.

His face was covered with a demon fox mask, his voice was sharp and piercing, and his eyes were cold and sinister.

“Soden is just a waste with a Duke’s bloodline, his bloodline should belong to you, Captain.”

‘Kent’ looked up at John and smiled:

“As long as you possess the Duke’s bloodline, with your talent, you will definitely be able to become a Holy Knight, and Her Highness will also favor you, Captain, and then Death City will also welcome a master of its own.”

“Haha…” John smiled, but didn’t dare to laugh out loud, he just chuckled softly twice and waved his hand:

“It’s too early to talk about that now.”

“Soden is still a Duke’s bloodline after all, possessing the strength of a Peak Legendary Knight, even if he is in a deep sleep, he may not be easy to deal with.”

“What’s more, that person’s method may not be useful, can the Duke’s bloodline really be transplanted into my body?”

“Let’s go!”

“Set off!”

He waved his hand, urging the team to move forward.

The closer they got to the City Lord’s Residence, the more Merfolk and legendary creatures there were, and the brighter John’s eyes became.

The Duke’s bloodline!

It’s right in front of him!

He actually deeply believed in that mysterious person’s method, otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken action privately with the Death Knights.

Suddenly.

“Roar!”

A deafening roar rang out from not far away.

In this silent night, the roar was like a struck gong, attracting all kinds of things.

Ruins.

A certain corner.

The short Ron put his hands together in front of his mouth, his belly bulging high, and roared again.

“Roar!”

Rolling sound waves covered half of Free Port.

Countless Merfolk turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and one legendary creature after another was awakened by the sound.

“Damn it!”

John on horseback was furious, his legs suddenly clamped the horse’s belly, and the warhorse under his crotch flashed past tens of meters.

In his sight and perception, the direction of the sound was empty.

But this didn’t trouble him.

“Die!”

Combat Technique ━ Storm Blade!

The spear spun in John’s hand, and countless wind blades swept towards all directions, covering an area of tens of meters.

“Puff!”

Two figures hidden in the dark were swept out by the wind blades, and were cut into pieces of meat in the blink of an eye.

But at this moment.

“Bang!”

“Bang bang!”

Clusters of fire ignited nearby, like torches, illuminating an area outside the City Lord’s Residence.

The Death Knights’ team was among them.

This was naturally Karl’s wizardry.

Not only that.

Hawke, who was responsible for luring away the Merfolk, was roaring as he rushed from the distance, with a large number of Merfolk behind him.

“Rumble…”

The earth trembled.

Under the attraction of various methods, countless Merfolk gathered into plumes of smoke, rushing towards where the Death Knights were.

“Damn it!”

John gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the blood-covered Hawke, his expression distorted under his mask:

“The lowly people of Rapid Flow City…”

“Captain!” ‘Kent’ urged his horse closer, his eyes flickering:

“What do we do now?”

With their strength.

If they retreat,

There is still a chance.

John looked at the City Lord’s Residence not far ahead, and an extreme unwillingness surged from his heart.

He was just one of the captains of Death City, and not even the strongest one.

The three hundred knights in front of him were all his foundation.

Once he failed this time, and the Death Knights under his command suffered heavy losses, then there would be no second chance.

What to do?

“Continue!”

Gritting his teeth, John roared loudly:

“You guys hold them back, and escort me into the City Lord’s Residence!”

“Captain…” ‘Kent’s’ face changed, already understanding the other party’s choice, and then nodded heavily:

“Alright!”

…………

Outside Free Port.

Karl and Yana stood side by side, looking towards the City Lord’s Residence, listening to the increasingly closer shouts of killing.

“They’re here.”

The first one to arrive was actually Hawke.

His left arm had disappeared, his right hand was tightly gripping his trident, his face was pale, and he leaped in front of the two.

“John went into the City Lord’s Residence with a few people, and the other Death Knights are breaking through, their strength is very strong.”

A trace of fear flashed in Hawke’s eyes:

“You have to be careful.”

“Without John?” Karl’s eyes twitched:

“It’s much better than expected.”

If John couldn’t be trapped, then he would most likely choose to leave, after all, the difference in strength was too great.

Now that he wasn’t, it was worth a try.

“Clop clop…”

The rapid sound of hooves gradually became clear.

Dozens of Death Knights appeared at the end of the field of vision, breaking through the Merfolk’s interception, and charging towards them.

“There are still so many?”

Karl frowned, and slowly drew his dual swords:

“The Merfolk aren’t very effective!”

He looked around, except for Connie, who looked quite good, the others all looked like beggars begging on the street.

Including the people Hawke brought, there were only a little over twenty, and many of them were injured.

No wonder they had to pull him in.

Otherwise, with just these few people, they would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

“Guardian.” Yana spoke:

“I’ll go first.”

Saying that, without waiting for Karl’s reply, her whole body was like an arrow shot from a bow, shooting towards the Death Knights.

After a few breaths.

A slender figure wielding a greatsword collided head-on with the Death Knights.

Seventeen Consecutive Slashes!

“Puff!”

Four Death Knights, along with the warhorses under them, were simultaneously cut into irregular pieces of meat by the greatsword.

Even more, scattered sword energy swept wildly towards the front.

“A Desecrated Knight?”

‘Kent’ on horseback narrowed his eyes:

“Setting up traps wasn’t enough, you even dare to ambush us here?”

The surging anger turned into intense killing intent.

His weapon was a strangely shaped horse-chopping sword, and with a gentle wave forward, a gust of yin wind swept out.

Around his body, clusters of blue smoke emerged, rushing towards where Yana was.

Super Rune ━ Soul Summoning!

The vengeful spirits locked onto Yana on their own, rushing towards her, and the other Death Knights also charged forward, wielding their weapons.

‘A Rune that summons vengeful spirits?’

Karl’s eyes flickered, and he pondered: “At night, the Death Knights’ strength will also be greatly enhanced.”

“As expected…”

“Relying on just one Desecrated Knight is far from enough to be their opponent.”

The vengeful spirits ignored physical attacks, directly pouncing on Yana, making her movements very stiff.

It was as if she was bound by a pile of heavy objects.

The other Death Knights took the opportunity to attack, and in a short moment, Yana was submerged in the cavalry.

These cavalrymen ate, lived, trained, and lived together, and their cooperation was very tacit, with various methods being used in succession.

***

Even a Legendary Knight was not their opponent.

Not to mention that ‘Kent’ himself was a Legend.

“Take action!”

Accompanied by Connie’s loud roar, the others also rushed out from their hiding places, killing towards the cavalry.

However, compared to the Death Knights who were fully armored and armed, they were just disorganized troops.

They seemed completely mismatched.

Fortunately.

There were still experts.

“Boom!”

The ground beneath Karl’s feet exploded, and his whole body leaped high, and in mid-air, his body had already transformed into a seven-meter giant.

Then he crashed heavily on the ground.

Super Rune ━ Earth Shatter!

His own weight, coupled with the power of the Super Rune, caused the surrounding ground to instantly ripple like water.

“Boom!”

Most of the Death Knights were shaken by the shockwave, and then spikes burst out.

“Puff!”

“Bang!”

Several Death Knights were pierced through their bodies by the stone spikes on the spot, but more people relied on the flexibility of their warhorses to dodge.

This result made Karl frown slightly.

They were indeed troublesome!

These Death Knights at night, each of them was at least at the Peak Knight or Grand Knight level.

It wasn’t that easy to kill them.

Minor Force Field!

Mage Hand!

Chain Water Arrows!

An invisible force field enveloped the surroundings, and Mage Hands grabbed the knights one by one, pulling them off their horses and slamming them hard on the ground.

At the same time.

Hundreds of foot-long water arrows floated in the air, shooting wildly at the surrounding knights.

“Puff!”

“Puff puff!”

One warhorse after another, and one rider after another, were pierced through their bodies by the water arrows, screaming and falling to the ground.

Karl himself was not idle either.

The seven-meter-tall giant wielded two terrifying greatswords, sweeping back and forth through the cavalry.

In terms of true strength, Karl may not be stronger than Yana.

But his methods were more suitable for the battlefield, and various wizardries and combat techniques were frantically reaping the lives of the Death Knights.

It felt like an adult bullying a group of children.

“Hmm?”

The abnormality under his feet made Karl’s expression change slightly.

He lowered his head to look.

He saw that black smoke was spreading up his legs, and in an instant, it had already covered his lower body.

Rune ━ Death Tentacles!

What was troublesome was that these tentacles condensed from black smoke were not restricted by intangibility, and their strength was getting stronger and stronger.

Seven Death Knights simultaneously cast runes, directly dragging Karl to the ground, and took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

Combat Techniques!

Runes!

***

“Boom!”

In the smoke and dust, wounds appeared on Karl’s body, and his movements became slower and slower.

Under this barrage of attacks, the Phantom Amulet didn’t play much of a role.

Heh…

With a soft chuckle, the last rune on his body was instantly activated.

Rune ━ Potent Plague!

A cloud of thick smoke appeared out of thin air, expanding outwards at an alarming speed, enveloping all the surrounding Death Knights.

“Cough cough!”

“Puff!”

The Potent Plague took effect instantly.

The warhorses became listless, their hooves staggering, and the Death Knights went from coughing to coughing up blood.

Although the Potent Plague couldn’t kill people directly, its weakening effect on people was extremely terrifying.

At the same time.

Karl’s body, suppressed by the runes, twisted, and tentacles more than ten meters long protruded from the thick smoke.

“Swish!”

A tentacle wrapped around a person, pulled him in, and when he was thrown back, he had already turned into a pile of white bones.

Before long.

There was no one alive in the field.

“Bang!”

Karl, who had transformed into a giant again, rushed out of the rune’s range, his gaze sweeping across the field, and landed on the Divine Blood Warrior ‘Kent’.

The battle!

It should be over!

Soon after.

Yana was like an injured kitten, curled up in a corner, licking her wounds.

The blood-covered Karl sat cross-legged on a high slope, wiping his broadsword while looking towards the City Lord’s Residence.

“What I should do, I have already done.”

He whispered:

“If John comes out, I will not take action again.”

Connie nodded.

This battle was mainly due to the efforts of Karl and Yana, otherwise, even if they all died, they wouldn’t have been able to leave behind many Death Knights.

And John’s strength was even more terrifying than a hundred Death Knights, and with just the remaining few people, it was useless.

“Elder Karl…”

Opening his mouth, Connie asked in a low voice:

“You are already a Legendary Knight now, right?”

?

Karl raised an eyebrow.

“Not bad.”

He didn’t intend to hide this.

“Without the blessing of a deity, ordinary people cannot become a Legend.” Connie’s eyes changed:

“How did you do it?”

“Quincy also became a Legendary Knight before he died.”

“Really?” Karl smiled and said:

“I know what you want to say, I didn’t believe in an evil god, nor did I borrow the power of an evil god.”

“My advancement was just an exception.”

He didn’t explain how he advanced, nor did he intend to explain, after all, the ‘Taiwei Jade Emperor’ would probably disappear for a while.

“Let’s go!”

After waiting for a while, Karl stood up:

“It seems that John is afraid he can’t come out.”

The City Lord’s Residence still stood in the ruins, like a man-eating beast in the night, opening its mouth and waiting for its prey to come.

*

*

*

Black Swamp.

Orseia led a person to the treehouse.

Karl, who was flipping through a book, looked up, and after seeing the person, his face couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise.

“Senior Staley!”

Staley!

A formal wizard over a hundred years old.

Proficient in mental and earth magic, and also one of the founders of the Swamp Alliance.

“Little friend Karl.”

Staley held a cane, and sat down with a smile:

“We meet again, you are leaving the Black Swamp for the Magic Forest tomorrow, and you’re still busy?”

“There are some things that need to be dealt with.” Karl closed the book:

“Is there something you need, Senior?”

He had been busy in Free Port these past few days, and only became officially free the day before yesterday, and there were too many things that needed to be dealt with.

It was estimated that he wouldn’t be able to rest tonight.

Staley just asked casually, and laughed:

“I heard that you are collecting wizardry related to nightmares and the mind?”

“Yes.” Karl said:

“I’ve been a bit interested in this area recently.”

After Quincy died, his memories also remained in the Divine Domain Fragment, causing a considerable impact on Karl.

When he fought with the Divine Blood Warrior ‘Kent’ a few days ago, he was also injured by the ‘vengeful spirits’.

He urgently needed wizardry in this area now.

But unfortunately.

Nightmare wizards were already rare, and the wizardry that Orseia could buy was not of a high grade.

It wasn’t of much use to him.

“I happen to have two wizardries here, that can still be used even after you become a formal wizard.”

Staley said with a smile:

“I wonder if you are interested?”

“Oh!”

Karl sat up straight:

“Which two wizardries? I wonder what price I need to pay?”

“These two wizardries were obtained a long time ago, and they have helped me through many difficulties.” Staley said:

“I need you to make a contract, not to spread them, and at the same time, copy a copy of the wizardry you have collected during this time for me.”

?

It seemed that Staley also wanted to take the wizardry to the Wizard World, to do a business of buying low and selling high.

But he woke up a little late, and there wasn’t enough time, so he simply came to Karl to package up the wizardry.

“Senior.”

Karl frowned and replied:

“I have collected a total of thirteen wizard inheritances, all of which are methods that can advance to a formal wizard.”

“You only have two wizardries…”

“It’s not worth it!”

Actually, he had fifteen wizard inheritances, but he didn’t plan to take out two of them for trade.

“My two wizardries, one of them will still be useful even if you become a second-order or third-order wizard.” Staley reached out and tapped the table:

“In terms of value, they are much stronger than the inheritances you have.”

“Really?” Karl’s eyes flickered:

“I wonder what wizardries they are?”

“Heh…” Seeing that he was acting like he wouldn’t let go of the rabbit without seeing it, Staley shook his head with a smile:

“One is a mental attack wizardry, called Thorns of Guilt, which can turn mental power into invisible thorns to attack others.”

“The other one is called Dimensional Cage.”

He paused before continuing:

“Dimensional Cage can construct a maze in the sea of consciousness, trapping and killing soul bodies that invade your mind. Although it’s not very useful for you now, its grade is indeed very high.”

“As long as your mental power is sufficient, the Dimensional Cage will become more complex and more indestructible, how about it?”

Thorns of Guilt!

Dimensional Cage!

Karl’s face remained unchanged, but his heart had already begun to beat faster.

Thorns of Guilt was fine.

The Dimensional Cage, which could trap soul bodies that invaded his mind, was what he urgently needed.

Now, every time he entered the Divine Domain Fragment, he would suffer the bombardment of Quincy’s memories, and with the Dimensional Cage, he could solve this problem.

“This…”

Pretending to think for a while, Karl slowly nodded:

“Since Senior has already spoken, I will naturally agree, then… I hope we have a pleasant cooperation.”

“Haha…” Staley laughed:

“Pleasant cooperation!”

“Little friend.”

Looking at Karl, he said with a smile:

“For the sake of our cooperation, let me remind you, be careful of Marianne when you go to the Magic Forest.”

Marianne?

The Grey-Robed Wizard’s disciple, the formal wizard Marianne.

“Oh!”

Karl looked puzzled:

“What’s wrong with Senior Marianne?”

In his impression, Marianne was a female wizard with a very good temper, and also an elder.

“That woman has a somewhat strange personality.” Staley pointed to his head and smiled:

“She has a special feeling for her mentor, the Grey-Robed Wizard Addison, to the point of madness.”

“But…”

“If you don’t provoke her, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Karl was thoughtful and nodded slowly.

…………

The next day.

A group of people gathered in front of the Star Gate.

“Junior Brother.”

Sybil’s eyes were red: “When you get there, live and cultivate well, we’ll meet again in the Wizard World.”

This separation would be at least ten years.

For them, who were still young, it was undoubtedly an extremely long time.

“I will.”

Karl nodded:

“Take care, Senior Sister!”

“Amy! Orseia! You guys take care too!”

“…Take care.” Amy’s voice choked:

“Big Brother Karl, you… you take care of your health, if there’s a chance, I’ll go to the Magic Forest to find you.”

“Mm.”

Karl nodded.

“Alright.” Marianne turned her head and waved:

“The Star Gate is about to open, come over here.”

The crowd gradually separated, and there were inevitably some sobs, especially the women who were more emotional at this time.

But there was no time for them to think too much.

“Buzz…”

Accompanied by a dizzying sensation, the scene in front of them had already changed.

Hmm?

Karl’s eyes moved slightly.

This…

It’s very similar to going to another world through the Divine Domain Fragment!
