Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 79

Chapter 79: The City Falls

From the moment he got into the carriage, Karl had been suppressed by the other party. The invisible pressure that was close at hand made him feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

Now that he was finally free, there was no need for further ado, he directly took action.

Combat Technique ━ Eagle Strike!

After Gigantism, his body, which was more than three meters tall, was like a rapidly moving house under the blessing of the combat technique.

The broadsword in his hand also grew larger, and a simple downward chop covered several meters around.

“Swish!”

Lady Anne tapped her foot lightly, and her whole body floated backwards, seemingly slow but actually swift.

The broadsword fell, grazing her clothes, the strong wind lifting her robe, revealing the graceful figure within.

Curvaceous where it should be, slender, white, and straight legs were particularly eye-catching under the moonlight.

It was a tempting body.

Ring of Star Swords!

Karl pretended not to see the scene in front of him, expressionlessly swung his sword horizontally, and activated the ring at the same time.

Six long swords formed from starlight appeared out of thin air, trembled slightly, and shot towards Lady Anne.

The Star Swords were astonishingly fast and close at hand, even she had to react a beat slower.

“Swish!”

“Whew…”

Taking advantage of Lady Anne’s evasion of the Star Swords, Karl continued to swing his sword, the huge broadsword sweeping horizontally like a door.

His speed was indeed not fast in comparison, but the advantage of his size and weapon greatly increased his attack range.

Unavoidable!

“Bang!”

The broadsword collided with a slender arm.

At this time, Karl’s strength was comparable to a Grand Knight, and Lady Anne was clearly not good at confronting others head-on.

Even her combat techniques were very clumsy.

This was normal.

A hidden follower of an Evil God didn’t have many opportunities to fight with others, let alone hone combat techniques.

Lady Anne was smashed hard into the wall on one side by the broadsword, the stone wall collapsed, and she was buried underneath.

Did he win?

Dana’s eyes lit up.

Although she was surprised by Karl’s identity and even a little unwilling to believe it, she knew who she stood with.

But her happiness only lasted for a moment.

“Boom!”

Rubble exploded, and a figure shot out from it like lightning.

“Karl!”

Lady Anne, with her long hair disheveled, screamed:

“You’ve made me angry!”

She was too fast, so fast that even Dana, a knight, could barely see her figure, only a series of afterimages.

Karl fared a little better, but he still couldn’t keep up with this speed.

Fortunately,

He was not only a knight but also a wizard apprentice.

Minor Force Field!

Gravity Protection!

As Lady Anne’s figure approached Karl, she was suppressed by the invisible force field, and her speed suddenly slowed down.

Combat Technique ━ Holy Judgment!

Karl leaped up, his greatsword flashing with a cold, sharp light.

The Battle Aura in his body erupted at the same time, instantly exploding with two intersecting sword lights, like a cross descending from the sky.

“Boom!”

Smoke and dust rose from the scene.

Compared to the burly and strong Karl, the slender and delicate Lady Anne was like a doll that could be easily manipulated.

The immense force descending from the sky tore through flesh and bones in an instant, surging towards her internal organs.

After creating distance, the difference in strength between the two was fully revealed.

Just as the opponent was about to be smashed into a pulp, a strange force suddenly emerged, forcefully blocking the Battle Aura.

“Crack!”

A skeletal hand suddenly grabbed the broadsword, and with an explosion of force, directly pushed Karl away.

A gust of wind swept through.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

The scene in front of him made Karl’s eyes contract, his face showing solemnity, and Dana’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Hiss…”

“Interesting!”

‘Lady Anne’ slowly stood up, her eyes had turned crimson at some point, filled with bestial ferocity.

Cruel!

Frenzied!

Bloodthirsty!

***

And her form had undergone a tremendous change.

Her face was covered in blood, and in some places, her white skull was exposed, her long hair hanging loosely behind her.

Her upper body was still elegant and enchanting, even though it was a mixture of blood and bones, it did not diminish her charm in the slightest.

But as her slender waist extended downwards, a startling change suddenly occurred. Her lower body was no longer slender, white legs, but a giant spider body.

The spider body was a deep black, covered with hard carapace that shimmered with a cold luster. The six spider legs were slender and powerful, like carefully honed blades, exuding a dangerous aura.

Spider Woman?

No!

Unlike the mindless Spider Woman, Lady Anne’s current form was obviously more advanced.

And more similar to the statue of the Spider Goddess.

The Divine Messenger that Robert mentioned should be Lady Anne. Now Karl could understand the other party’s fear. This form was truly beyond the aesthetic scope of normal people.

Even if she disguised herself well, just thinking that she had such an appearance would make anyone lose interest. Not human was not just a figure of speech.

She really wasn’t human!

“To be able to make me reveal my true form, no wonder Robert died at your hands, but don’t worry.”

Lady Anne tapped the spider legs under her body, her whole body moved horizontally, and she rapidly approached Karl:

“I won’t kill you directly!”

“On the contrary, I will let you taste the greatest pleasure in the world, until I get tired of playing and then feed you to the Spider Woman. Such abundant Life Force will definitely make my baby grow stronger.”

“Pfft!”

As she spoke, the body under her swelled and contracted, spraying a large amount of spider silk from a certain hole.

The spider silk spread out in the air, falling like a giant net.

Karl looked up, his left hand raised high.

Fire Rune!

“Boom!”

Fierce flames appeared out of thin air, surging upwards, coming into contact with the incoming spider web, instantly igniting a raging fire, and a burnt smell wafted through the air.

“Fire?”

Lady Anne’s eyes contracted, obviously disgusted.

This was also different from the Spider Woman. In the face of fire, the Spider Woman showed fear, while she was only disgusted.

“Swish!”

Six spider legs tapped the ground, and Lady Anne rushed forward, her sharp spider legs thrusting out first.

“Clang…”

Karl swung his sword to block, only to feel a sharp force exploding from the point of contact, his body involuntarily shaking.

So strong!

The opponent’s strength was not too great, but it was very concentrated, and there was a strange force penetrating into his body along the point of contact.

Similar to Battle Aura, but different.

If he had been able to firmly hold the upper hand just now, then now he was struggling to cope.

“Hiss…”

Lady Anne made a strange sound, and her six legs thrust forward rapidly, like a sudden storm:

“Fall down!”

The extreme speed made it difficult for Karl to react.

Combat Technique ━ Protection!

A layer of white halo seemed to emanate from his body, condensing into a solid form slightly larger than himself.

“Clang…”

The spider legs thrust forward, colliding with the protective halo, then with the armor, and finally the force surged towards his flesh.

Rune ━ Steel Body.

Even after being blocked by multiple layers of defense, there was still a stinging pain, but fortunately it was not fatal to Karl.

But the protective halo was crumbling, and cracks appeared in the armor, obviously unable to last.

Combat Technique ━ Bloom!

Raging Battle Aura surged in all directions, instantly sending Lady Anne flying, and at the same time, sword shadows slashed down.

Combat Technique ━ Gale Slash!

“Clang, clang… Clank, clank…”

Lady Anne was not good at combat techniques, but her speed was astonishingly fast, and she had a beast’s instinct for sensing danger.

With her six spider legs and her own two arms, she forcefully blocked all the incoming attacks.

Her figure only paused slightly before rushing out again.

“Snap!”

Suddenly, everything in front of her brightened.

Light Spell!

“Ah!”

Light was the bane of all evil creatures, and even Lady Anne was no exception. She screamed subconsciously.

Her body retreated in panic.

Ring of Star Swords!

Gravity Protection!

Combat Technique ━ Holy Judgment!

Karl seized the opportunity to attack. Star Swords, gravity, and Battle Aura roared towards Lady Anne, who had closed her eyes, and collided with her in mid-air.

“Boom!”

The two huge figures flew backwards.

“Ah!”

Lady Anne, who was once again heavily injured and covered in blood, screamed:

“I’m going to kill you!”

“Kill you!”

Her body was blessed by divine power, even if she was injured, she would recover quickly, but the humiliation in her heart was difficult to erase.

Since receiving the favor of Spider Goddess Elise, she had never suffered a loss at the hands of any man.

Whether it was the Count or Robert, although they were her so-called ‘dependents’, they were actually just her playthings.

They were her background, used to conceal her identity and disguise herself. She could abandon them at any time when she got tired of playing.

“Snap!”

Suddenly, everything in front of her brightened again.

Light Spell!

“Hiss…”

Lady Anne made a strange sound, this time she did not choose to retreat, but closed her eyes and continued to rush forward, not intending to give Karl any opportunity.

“Bang!”

After landing, her figure suddenly froze.

Minor Force Field and Gravity Protection fell on her at the same time, and the broadsword descended from the sky.

Under her feet, which she couldn’t see, more than ten Bloodthirsty Vines shot out, wrapping around her body.

Trap!

Karl had deliberately let her get close, and after losing her sight, her perception of danger was further reduced.

Summon Thorns!

Summon Thorns!

***

Just in case, Karl used up all three Summon Thorns at once, and dozens of thorny vines roared out.

In an instant.

The scene was almost completely covered by vines.

However, this extreme level of squeezing the magic item would also cause the magic item’s durability to rapidly decline, and he could even hear the sound of gemstones shattering.

At the same time.

These methods were just to restrict the opponent’s movement, the real killing move was ready.

Titan’s Hammer!

The crystal ring was activated at this time.

Lady Anne also sensed something was wrong, the six spider legs under her body danced wildly, cutting the vines wrapped around her like sickles.

Her hands erupted with great force, sending Karl flying.

Her figure flashed, and she was about to leave.

But,

It was too late!

“Boom!”

Invisible forces in the air gathered, and a giant hammer appeared out of thin air, smashing down towards her location.

The immense force directly caused the ground to cave in, and Lady Anne, who was struggling to get out, fell to the ground.

“Whew…”

Karl let out a long breath, but his movements didn’t stop there. Instead, he activated the magic item again.

***

Titan’s Hammer!

Although the opponent’s physical strength is not high and her defense is lacking, for some reason, her recovery ability is extremely astonishing. One strike is far from enough to kill her on the spot.

“Boom!”

The earth trembled violently, and an unknown green liquid mixed with blood splattered everywhere.

Lady Anne, who had just raised her head, was smashed to the ground again, and the spider body beneath her was covered in cracks.

Still not dead?

Karl raised his hand again, but just as he was about to make a move, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly retreated.

Danger!

An extreme sense of danger made his heart pump faster, and even time seemed to slow down in his perception.

Without time to think, he flipped his large hand and directly threw the horse that had fallen beside him in front of him.

“Swish!”

A streak of white light suddenly appeared, shooting out from Lady Anne’s eyes and sinking into the screaming horse.

Instantly.

The robust horse aged and decayed at an alarming rate, turning into a pile of bones before it even hit the ground.

Divine Technique – Death Ray!

After activating the Divine Technique, Lady Anne became visibly haggard, but she still struggled to raise her head.

Her eyes flickered with spiritual light as she looked at Karl.

Divine Technique…

“Pfft!”

A longsword suddenly pierced through the back of her head, emerging from between her eyebrows, and the spiritual light in her eyes gradually dissipated.

After a brief struggle, Lady Anne’s body finally lost its life and collapsed to the ground.

“Huff… Huff…” Dana held a sword in her left hand, her right arm covered in blood, her face pale as she gasped for breath.

“I’m a knight, how could you ignore me?”

Karl shook his head.

If Dana hadn’t intervened just now, he would have already planned to retreat to the Divine Domain Fragment and come back out later.

Fortunately,

it didn’t come to that.

He raised his hand.

Fire Rune!

Flames enveloped Lady Anne’s body, and with a crackling sound, it slowly began to burn.

“Karl…”

Dana bandaged her arm and stood to the side, her gaze towards Karl flickering back and forth. The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward. Finally, she spoke, “There seems to be a Fire Thief causing trouble in the city. I need to go check it out. What are your plans next?”

“Plans?”

Karl pondered,

“Leave Signo City.”

He originally had some trivial matters to attend to, but seeing the current situation, he had to leave as soon as possible.

“Leave?” Dana was taken aback, and for some reason, a feeling of reluctance welled up in her heart.

After learning Karl’s identity, she found it difficult to adjust for a while, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

After a pause, she said,

“That’s true, you’ve always planned to leave. It’s better to leave now. Are you going to… the Black Swamp?”

“Yes.”

Karl nodded.

“Then…” Dana gripped her longsword and gave a dry laugh, “Goodbye!”

“I’m going to help deal with the chaos.”

Without waiting for a reply, she turned and walked away, her back looking desolate, as if carrying some sorrow.

Karl withdrew his gaze, intending to leave, but his eyes suddenly stopped, falling on the ashes swept by the flames.

At this moment, Lady Anne’s body had been completely incinerated, but a white bead remained.

A bead?

…………

City Wall.

Count Barrow and the portly City Lord Terrence stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the direction of the North City Gate.

“Report!”

A messenger rushed over, “Merchant Caesar, leading dozens of his privately raised soldiers, is attempting to force his way through the South City Gate. The situation at the gate is critical!”

“Caesar? South City Gate?” City Lord Terrence’s expression was flustered,

“How is that possible?”

“Isn’t it the North City Gate that’s in chaos? What’s the situation at the South City Gate now? Can we hold it?”

“Attack the North City Gate to divert our attention, and then seize the opportunity to occupy the South City Gate?” Count Barrow’s eyes narrowed, “What a cunning plan, Caesar…”

“Merchants are only interested in profit; they don’t understand loyalty at all. It’s always them who betray the kingdom.”

“City Lord.” He turned his head and looked over,

“Send your men over. It’s just a few dozen private soldiers; there shouldn’t be a problem with the city defense soldiers assisting.”

“Ah!”

Terrence’s eyes flickered, “I don’t have many men left. I’m afraid it wouldn’t be of much use if I sent them. Why don’t we let the Church Knights go?”

Church Knights?

Barrow’s face darkened.

Although they held noble status, they couldn’t casually command the Church’s people. The other party was obviously making excuses and didn’t want to send his own guards.

He had long heard that this City Lord was timid and cherished his life. He didn’t expect that he wouldn’t even want to spare his guards at this time.

How did such a person become the City Lord?

How could such a person possibly defend a city?

“Sigh…”

Letting out a long breath, Barrow slowly nodded, “The Church Knights have already gone to the North Gate to suppress the Spider Women. Let the people from the Royal City go.”

“Alright.” City Lord Terrence hastily agreed,

“The people from the Royal City are strong enough. Dealing with a petty merchant shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Master.” At this moment, a short and sturdy man behind him stepped forward and said in a muffled voice, “I can go.”

“You insolent!” Terrence’s expression changed, and he roared angrily,

“Framt, you’re just a branded slave! What qualifications do you have to speak at this time?”

“Step back!”

“Yes.” The man named Frampt looked panicked and hurriedly retreated.

“Hmm…” Count Barrow narrowed his eyes, “Terrence, this man is quite interesting. He’s not old, but he’s already a Peak Knight, isn’t he?”

“Yes.” City Lord Terrence scratched his head and laughed,

“He has a trace of a special bloodline and is naturally stronger than others, so his strength is quite good.”

“But he’s very stupid and difficult to trust without my restraints.”

“Report!”

Before he could finish his words, another messenger rushed over, gasping for breath as he spoke,

“East… East City Gate…”

“Speak quickly!”

Count Barrow’s face changed, and he stepped forward,

“What’s wrong with the East City Gate?”

*

*

*

A grayish aura emerged from the white bead, sinking into the Divine Domain Fragment and ultimately disappearing.

Having lost the aura, the bead fell to the ground, its luster noticeably dimmer.

The shape of this bead was not perfectly round but rather oval. Looking closely, it seemed as if a spider was trapped within its core.

To make an analogy…

It resembled amber!

Source Essence: 0.9

This unknown item actually contained 0.9 Source Essence!

“The Crown of Thorns, the Holy Nails, the Great God’s Grace, they’re all related to deities. The rapier is also similar to the swords carried by the attendants of deities.”

“This bead must also be related to the Spider Goddess.”

Karl stroked his chin, lost in thought.

“Could it be that all things that can provide Source Essence are related to deities? Does Source Essence originate from deities?”

“Divine Domain Fragment…”

“Could there be some connection between the two?”

Picking up the bead from the ground, Karl examined it carefully. Even after losing its Source Essence, it was still a magical material.

Holding the bead, his perception of the surrounding environment became more acute.

“Increased perception?”

The increase in perception was not significant.

If the bead were refined into a magic item, it might be possible to unlock its potential.

Shaking his head, Karl turned his gaze to his status panel, contemplating whether to increase his Constitution or his Mental Power.

With his current strength, if he allocated all his points to Constitution, he could expect to break through to the Grand Knight realm within a year.

And adding to Mental Power would allow him to master another powerful spell, enabling him to face more complex situations.

After a long while,

“Forget it!”

“I won’t add any points for now.”

Waving his hand to dismiss the panel, Karl stepped out of the Divine Domain Fragment.

…………

East City Gate.

“Creak… Crunch…”

The heavy city gate emitted a harsh sound, and as the winch turned, the gate slowly opened to both sides.

“Welcome!”

Frank, dressed in a white robe, knelt on one knee, his right hand placed over his heart, bowing his head to the approaching figure.

“Signo City welcomes General Thunder Spear Tucker!”

“Clack, clack…”

The sound of hooves was slow and rhythmic.

The horse and the knight were both encased in black armor, like a moving mountain, approaching the city gate step by step and stopping in front of Frank.

It was said that the warhorse under the knight had dragon blood, possessing an inherent dragon’s might. Any lesser creature would be suppressed by its bloodline in its presence, unable to move.

But compared to the warhorse, the knight on its back was even more terrifying.

The tangible pressure made Frank, a knight himself, lower his head deeply. Beads of cold sweat involuntarily formed on his forehead, and his consciousness became hazy.

If the two were to fight…

No!

In front of this person, Frank couldn’t muster the slightest bit of fighting spirit.

“Very good.”

Thunder Spear Tucker’s voice echoed in his ears, each word carrying an undeniable weight, hammering at his chest, making it difficult to breathe.

“Barrow hasn’t left yet, has he?”

“No.”

Frank hurriedly replied, “No one knows about me replacing the city gate guards. Their attention is all focused on the North and South City Gates.”

“Your arrival is like a divine miracle. No one could have anticipated it!”

“Heh…” Tucker chuckled, “Losing such an excellent son as Barrow, even if that Duke has plenty of descendants, he must be feeling the pain.”

“Let’s go!”

“Lead the way.”

“Yes.” Frank responded, slowly straightening his body.

As he raised his head, his gaze shifted upwards, and nearly a thousand soldiers clad in armor and wielding sharp weapons came into view.

The night was dark.

These thousand soldiers stood outside the city gate, a pitch-black mass, yet not a single sound could be heard.

As far as the eye could see, there was only deathly silence, except for their cold and murderous eyes.

The Black Armored Army!

Colon’s newly emerged army in recent years, a killing machine composed of commoners and even slaves.

Frank’s face paled, and his heart pounded wildly.

He had never seen such an army before. So many people standing motionless, not uttering a single word, their suffocating discipline, their terrifyingly cold eyes.

“Move out!”

With a wave of Tucker’s hand, the silent Black Armored Army seemed to suddenly come alive, surging towards the city gate in an orderly fashion.

From afar,

it was like a silent beast, slowly stepping into the city.

The North City Gate was filled with the roars of battle, the South City Gate was ablaze, but the true danger had always remained silent.

Once it opened its giant maw and bared its fangs, no one would be able to stop it!

At some point, Frank’s panicked heart suddenly calmed down. He was certain of Signo City’s ultimate fate.

“Sigh…”

A sudden gust of wind rose in front of them.

Tucker, riding his horse forward, gently pulled the reins, slightly raising his spear with one hand. His gaze fell upon a figure ahead.

“A Grand Knight of the Morning Sun?”

“Die!”

“Swish!”

A bolt of lightning pierced the darkness.
