Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Divine Technique

What was that?

There was no time to think, Karl instinctively dodged to the side.

With a seemingly light tap of his foot, his entire body suddenly swept several feet diagonally, like a goshawk flying close to the ground.

Eagle Stance!

Thanks to the enhancement of the Divine Domain Fragment, in just a few days, he had already mastered the basics of this martial technique and could even apply it in actual combat.

The black shadow missed its strike, turned around, and swung its arm to stab again, clearly not intending to let this ‘witness’ leave.

“Swish!”

The sound of a dagger piercing the air emerged, heading straight for the vital point of his throat, making Karl’s skin tighten and his heart race.

“Clang……”

A clashing sound rang out.

The seemingly light cane in Karl’s hand was actually made of metal, heavily knocking against the incoming dagger.

Hmm?

A Knight Squire!

Although the opponent’s strength was slightly inferior to his, it was also at the Knight Squire level.

The next moment.

Several streaks of cold light appeared one after another, continuous and rapid stabs, forcing Karl to retreat repeatedly.

By the time he stopped, he had been forced into a dark alley.

At some point, the alley was covered in cobwebs, with sticky liquid underfoot, and a foul smell filled the air.

“Hiss……”

Two black shadows slowly crawled out from behind, their green eyes particularly cold and eerie in the darkness.

Karl, who frequented Black City and was accustomed to the dark environment, saw the whole scene in an instant, and a chill ran down his spine.

Monsters?

Humans or spiders?

Three ‘humanoid spiders’ with six arms slowly surrounded him.

There was another one of these creatures on the ground not far away, but its body was cut apart by a sharp blade, dead beyond death.

In addition to this,

There was also a human figure wrapped in cobwebs.

The figure was enveloped in cobwebs, and the exposed clothing looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before?

Before he could think further, the black shadow pounced again.

In terms of strength, the monster was no match for Karl, but it had six arms, which meant that it could attack more frequently, and its attacks were more difficult to intercept.

“Slap!”

A dazzling white light suddenly lit up in the darkness.

Light Spell!

The sudden brightness made the three-headed monster instinctively close its eyes, and it let out a hissing scream, even stopping its movements.

Photophobic?

They seemed to be even more afraid of light than the people of Black City.

Karl’s thoughts raced, but his movements didn’t pause in the slightest. He dodged out of the encirclement and swung his left hand back.

Fire Rune!

“Boom!”

A ball of flame appeared out of thin air, rushing towards the three-headed monster.

The flame formed a shock wave, encompassing the entire alleyway and rolling towards the three-headed monster.

In an instant.

A burning smell appeared.

“Sizzle……”

“Ah!”

The monsters seemed to lack resistance to fire, letting out shrill screams, their bodies curling up and rolling on the ground, unable to launch an effective counterattack.

The cobwebs that covered the alley burned furiously.

Hmm?

Karl raised an eyebrow and pressed his left hand again.

Fire Rune!

Fire Rune!

Fire Rune!!!

Strike while the iron is hot.

“Boom……”

Waves of flames swept past, and the three-headed monsters were engulfed in flames, struggling madly on the ground.

In just a moment, they fell silent, their bodies turning to charcoal, and the cobwebs in the alley vanished along with them.

“Tsk!”

Karl stopped his movements and clicked his tongue:

“As expected, spells are more elegant and stylish, and their destructive power is also stronger, but what are these things?”

Judging from the speed and strength displayed by these monsters, even a peak-level Knight Squire might not be a match for them if they couldn’t cast spells.

Moreover, no one could guarantee that they didn’t have any other tricks up their sleeves.

For example……

Spinning webs?

Karl cautiously approached and examined the corpses on the ground, finally stopping in front of the cocoon wrapped in cobwebs.

He picked up the dagger and cut open the cocoon, a familiar face coming into view.

“Dana?”

Touching his chin and seeing Dana’s eyelids twitching, as if she might wake up at any moment, Karl leaped onto the wall.

A moment later.

Dana struggled to get up, looking at the scene with confusion in her eyes, then slapped herself hard on the cheeks.

It seemed she wanted to prove to herself that she wasn’t dreaming.

Hiding in the shadows, Karl’s mouth twitched. This woman was ruthless, even slapping herself with such force.

✿✿✿

It looked painful.

Shaking his head, he quietly left.

The next day.

“All patrol officers, assemble!”

Dana, with her arm wrapped in bandages, had a stern expression as her gaze swept over everyone present. Her voice suddenly rose:

“Don’t look so lazy! Today, we’re going to eradicate an Evil God stronghold, and we could encounter danger at any moment.”

“Really?” Someone’s face changed drastically upon hearing this. Without asking why, he first tried to get out of it:

“Can I not go?”

His statement was met with nods of agreement from many others.

Who among those present hadn’t grown up pampered? Their first reaction upon hearing about danger was to avoid it.

“No!”

Dana snorted coldly:

“Don’t worry, the commander-in-chief this time is a Bishop from the Church, with the Night Watchmen as the main force. We and the police officers will provide support.”

“Bishop?” Kerry asked with a surprised look:

“Bishop Antonio?”

“That’s right.” Dana nodded:

“It’s him.”

“Wow……”

Everyone was in an uproar.

This was the Bishop of Signo City, whose status was comparable to that of the City Lord. He was actually going to personally take action.

Karl also looked surprised.

Today’s operation was most likely related to Dana’s encounter yesterday, but he hadn’t expected it to alarm a Bishop. The last time they destroyed the Fire Thieves’ stronghold, it hadn’t been this grand.

Bishop Antonio had a distinguished status, and his presence also meant that the Church’s Guardian Knights would also be involved.

Those were Formal Knights!

Hmm……

‘According to Senior Sybil, the strength of a Formal Knight is comparable to a relatively strong Intermediate Wizard Apprentice.’

‘And a Senior Wizard Apprentice, if they master a highly destructive spell, can easily kill a Formal Knight.’

‘Even a Grand Knight.’

As for Wizards.

Those existences could be compared to the most powerful beings in human society, Legendary Knights.

Of course.

This was just a rough classification.

The strength of Wizard Apprentices varied greatly depending on the spells they mastered, whether they possessed magic items, and other factors.

Even among Intermediate Wizard Apprentices, some could easily kill a Knight, while others might not even be a match for a Knight Squire.

He wondered if the priests and bishops in the Church of the Morning Sun had any special means. Could it be that they were just special in status and received the gods’ favor?

If that were the case, being able to command Knights and even Grand Knights seemed a bit unreasonable.

“Divide into three groups.”

Dana pointed casually:

“You, you, and you guys, follow me. Let’s go!”

Among the people she pointed at were Karl and Kerry.

Soon, the patrol officers set off in a grand procession, and Dana beckoned Karl to her side.

“Yesterday……”

After thinking for a moment, she hesitantly asked:

“Did you encounter anything after leaving the theater?”

“Encounter anything?” Karl looked puzzled:

“I left in a carriage after the show ended. What could I have encountered? Chief, where did you go?”

“Forget it.”

Dana shook her head and waved her hand dismissively:

“It’s nothing. Go about your business.”

She was just asking casually and didn’t think the person who saved her last night could be Karl.

After all.

Karl had only become a Knight Squire not long ago.

Not long after.

Everyone gathered with the Church’s Night Watchmen, and at a command, they charged towards a courtyard somewhere in the south of the city.

First, they surrounded the courtyard, then drew their bows and nocked arrows.

“Fire!”

“Twang!”

Arrows rained down like a shower, each with a burning torch attached. They landed on houses and sheds, immediately igniting raging fires.

It was obvious.

The Church people also knew that their target was afraid of fire.

In front of the flames, a priest walked out, holding a Bible in his hand and looking piously towards the sky.

Then he made a few gestures in front of him and whispered:

“Great Morning Sun, your loyal followers beseech your blessing.”

“Boom!”

A white light suddenly surged from his body, instantly covering the entire area. Karl, who was in the crowd, felt his body heat up, and his entire being was filled with strength.

This was……

Magic?

No!

It was a Divine Technique!
