Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Death

Chaos!

Utter chaos!

Accustomed to the peace of Signo City, Karl felt a bit out of place amidst the chaos before him.

Flames raged everywhere, countless people screamed and shouted.

Some were even taking advantage of the fire to loot.

In the distance,

Faint sounds of fierce fighting could be heard, the turmoil at the city gate had somehow spread throughout the city.

No!

Karl gently shook his head.

The Colon people must have breached the city gate, otherwise the city wouldn’t have spiraled out of control to this extent.

Signo City had thousands of city defense soldiers, numerous police officers, patrol officers, and guardian knights from the Church.

Not to mention the many nobles who kept private armies.

In this situation, not even being on the front lines, the city gate was still breached, how incompetent were the city’s administrators?

Fortunately, having experienced a series of events in Black City, Karl quickly adjusted his mindset and familiarized himself with the environment.

“Boom!”

A loud explosion came from not far away, the roof of a house was directly blown off, exploding in mid-air.

“Barrow!”

A roar followed closely behind:

“You can’t escape!”

Barrow?

Count Barrow!

Karl’s eyes flickered, subconsciously glancing in the direction of the sound.

The moonlight was half-hidden by dark clouds, but with the flames burning everywhere, it was enough to see the situation clearly.

Count Barrow, holding a longsword and covered in blood, stumbled onto the street, his eyes filled with rage and fear.

“Tucker!”

“Crackle…”

Like a flash of lightning, a bright light instantly crossed a distance of over ten meters, appearing in front of Count Barrow.

It was a horse!

The knight on horseback was tall and burly, far exceeding ordinary people.

The knight, holding a spear and clad in armor, gently shook his arm, and the spear pierced through the void, arriving in front of him.

“Clang…”

Barrow raised his sword to block, but in the next moment, his entire body was sent flying, crashing into a house behind him.

As a Grand Knight, he was actually defeated in one blow!

“Whoa!”

After sending Barrow flying with a single blow, the knight didn’t press his advantage but pulled the reins hard and swung his spear towards his side.

A dark figure rushed out at this moment, wielding both fists.

A howling battle aura gathered on his fists, like two giant hammers, carrying a terrifying force as they struck out.

“Clang…”

The spear collided with the fists.

A visible shockwave erupted from the point of contact, rolling and instantly sweeping across the long street.

The ground was torn up, walls swayed, and several figures who tried to approach stumbled backward.

So strong!

Karl’s eyes narrowed.

Even if he used the secret technique within the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique to enlarge his body, he might not have such great strength.

What was an all-out blow for him was just a casual move for a true Grand Knight.

“Bern!”

The knight looked at the newcomer and spoke in a muffled voice:

“I thought you were incapacitated, at such an old age, wouldn’t it be better to recuperate at home?”

“Why come seeking death?”

Bern?

Karl’s heart stirred.

The Grand Knight from the Noble Council, Lion Bern!

He seemed to be over fifty years old, unexpectedly still so fierce, worthy of the title “Lion.”

“Tucker.” Lion Bern clenched his fists, his eyes wide with anger:

“Don’t forget, you were just a commoner from Gando back then, without the kingdom, you wouldn’t be where you are today.”

“You’re right.” Tucker said:

“I was just a commoner from Gando, but now…, this commoner has become a general of the enemy nation, personally leading an army to conquer.”

“Shouldn’t you reflect on that?”

“Swish!”

Before he finished speaking, the spear in his hand flashed out again, and the dim night suddenly brightened.

Combat Technique ━ Thunderfall!

“Boom!”

The spear, enveloped in lightning, slammed onto Lion Bern’s fists, and a violent force roared out.

Lion Bern’s sturdy body was forced back over ten meters before he barely managed to stop.

At the same time.

Count Barrow, who had been previously knocked down, rushed out from the ruins, leaping high into the air like a divine eagle swooping down.

“Hum…”

The sword trembled, and layers of sword shadows appeared.

A howling battle aura rushed towards them, even startling Tucker’s warhorse, causing its front hooves to rear up suddenly.

Magic Item!

The longsword in Count Barrow’s hand was actually a magic item!

It had the effect of releasing phantom sword aura and shocking the mind, hiding the blade within the phantoms when striking.

If the opponent was careless, they would be injured by the blade.

This weapon allowed him to easily gain the upper hand when fighting against enemies who were also Grand Knights.

“Whoosh…”

Tucker swung his spear.

His eyes were cold and murderous, completely unaffected by the longsword, aiming directly at the attacking Count Barrow.

“Bang!”

The ground trembled.

Lion Bern seized the opportunity and struck out with both fists, his battle aura forming a lion that pounced towards the target.

“Boom!”

Dust and smoke filled the air.

The spear danced, creating numerous afterimages as it clashed with the two Grand Knights.

Even Karl, who was some distance from the battlefield, could feel the bone-chilling killing intent.

As for the others,

they couldn’t even get close.

The arrows shot by the archers from afar were blown away by the howling aura before they could even reach the battle group.

The situation didn’t last long.

“Crackle…”

“Boom!”

A thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, transforming into a dense network of electric arcs, covering everything around it.

Combat Technique ━ Thunderstorm!

“Pfft!”

The warhorse charged forward, the spear thrusting straight ahead, and the longsword in Count Barrow’s hand was forcefully knocked away by the power of thunder.

And his body was pierced by the spear.

The knight on horseback gently shook his arm, and Count Barrow fell to the ground like a broken sack.

He twitched twice after landing, completely losing his life.

“Charge!”

Thunder Spear Tucker turned his horse around, his hooves pounding as he charged towards the despairing Lion Bern and thrust his spear.

“Pfft!”

A figure fell to the ground.

Two Grand Knights, both skilled fighters among Grand Knights, were no match for Tucker alone, and in a short moment, they both died on the spot.

Others might not have seen it clearly, only knowing that victory belonged to Thunder Spear.

But Karl,

saw it all clearly!

Count Barrow and Lion Bern were simply no match for Thunder Spear Tucker, not even together.

The gap between them was so vast that once they started fighting, the two wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.

No wonder he was said to have the potential to become a Legend!

There should be no one in Signo City who could rival him. After losing two Grand Knights, the city’s fall was almost inevitable.

“Pursue!”

Thunder Spear Tucker shook the blood off his spear and looked towards the west:

“Try to capture City Lord Terrence alive. If that’s not possible…”

“Then kill him!”

“Yes!” In the darkness, the black-armored soldiers from Colon bowed their heads in agreement.

…………

Escape!

Run!

A group of people frantically ran towards the west city gate.

The north and south city gates were in chaos, the east city gate had been captured by the Colon people, only the west remained as an escape route.

Before Signo City completely fell, only by escaping as quickly as possible could they save their lives.

The obese City Lord Terrence sat on horseback, glancing back as he rode.

The sound of fighting behind him grew closer, making him even more anxious, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

His body was too obese, weighing more than three or four ordinary adult men, causing even the carefully selected, strong horse beneath him to struggle, swaying after running for a while.

It seemed like it could collapse at any moment.

“City Lord!”

A guard rode forward and supported his body:

“Be careful, slow down…”

“Slap!”

Before the guard finished speaking, Terrence slapped him across the face, and his cheek visibly swelled up.

“Slow down? What slow down?”

“The pursuers are about to catch up, do you want me to be captured by the Colon people?”

“You scoundrel!”

“I wouldn’t dare.” The guard turned pale and quickly lowered his head:

“Please forgive me, City Lord.”

“Useless thing, I spend so much money to keep you all, and at the critical moment, you’re not even slightly useful.” Terrence grumbled, glancing back with fear in his eyes:

“Hurry!”

“Split off a group to hold them back!”

“Framt!” He shouted towards a slave not far away:

“You go, no matter what method you use, stop the pursuers, don’t let Tucker catch up.”

“Yes.”

Framt responded and turned his horse around with a group of guards, charging towards the pursuers.

“Kill!”

“Boom!”

The two groups crashed into each other.

The fully armed black-armored army was like a steel machine that only knew how to kill, wielding their weapons as they charged.

They didn’t make a sound, didn’t dodge or evade, allowing the guards to attack them, relying solely on their armor for defense.

At the moment of the enemy’s attack, they swung their weapons.

A fight to the death!

“Pfft!”

“Pfft, pfft…”

In the blink of an eye, figures fell, and corpses lay on the cold ground.

Some were from the black-armored army,

some were guards who tried to intercept them.

This fierce battle made the usually arrogant City Lord’s guards pale, their bodies trembling slightly.

But it wouldn’t affect the black-armored army’s charge.

Almost the instant they clashed, these guards, who possessed the strength of Knight Squires or even Knights, were overwhelmed.

Knight Squires and Knights were still flesh and blood in the end. In the face of sharp weapons, they were equally vulnerable.

Even if the ones wielding those weapons were ordinary people.

Spears formed a forest, swords spun, quickly reaping lives.

“No!”

Some couldn’t bear the invisible pressure, threw their weapons to the ground, and turned to flee.

“They’re not human!”

“They’re lunatics!”

“Run!”

The feeling of collapse spread rapidly, accelerating the black-armored army’s advance.

“Don’t retreat!”

Framt roared, swinging his longsword in an attempt to stop the demoralized City Lord’s guards:

“Charge forward, stop them!”

But it was useless.

Completely useless.

Morale was paramount in battle. Once morale collapsed, even a Grand Knight couldn’t do anything.

Seeing the black-armored army break through their ranks and chase after the City Lord, he couldn’t help but feel enraged.

“Tucker!”

Framt roared towards the sky:

“You commoner, traitor, shameless villain, if you have the guts, come out and duel me head-on!”

“Come out!”

“Boom!”

His battle aura erupted from his body, his longsword dancing, sending the black-armored soldiers in front of him flying one after another.

“Thunder Spear Tucker, you’re just a cowardly rat, only daring to use these weaklings to fight!”

The surrounding black-armored soldiers stopped their charge and looked at Frampt, their cold gazes filled with anger.

***

“He’s insulting the General!”

“Damn it!”

Finally, someone spoke, their voice seeming to come from between gritted teeth, and a thick killing intent emanated from their body.

Spears and swords pointed towards Frampt, as if they wanted to chop him into mincemeat.

“Bang!”

The ground trembled violently.

A figure riding on horseback appeared on the scene.

“Disperse.”

Thunder Spear Tucker gently waved his hand:

“Continue the pursuit.”

“Yes!”

The soldiers responded.

“If you want to catch the City Lord, you’ll have to step over my corpse!” Frampt’s figure flashed, appearing in front of the group, spreading his arms to block their path, shouting:

“Come on!”

“Boom!”

A vast battle aura surged from his body, like a tornado, completely blocking the entire street.

The charging black-armored soldiers faltered and had to stop.

“Forbidden Technique?”

Thunder Spear Tucker’s eyes flickered slightly:

“Burning your own life force just for a fool like Terrence, is it worth it?”

“It’s worth it!” Frampt’s expression was solemn, and he shouted coldly:

“I am my master’s slave, everything I have is given by my master. You, a traitor who is accustomed to betrayal, simply don’t understand what loyalty is!”

“Clatter…”

His contemptuous tone made the black-armored soldiers in the field furious, and they pointed their blades at him.

Thunder Spear Tucker,

was the soul of the black-armored army, and they would not allow anyone to insult him!

“Loyalty?”

Tucker laughed:

“The ancestors of these kings and dukes betrayed and divided the empire, which is why we have kingdoms like Gando and Colon.”

“They abandoned those they swore allegiance to, and who ever said they were wrong?”

“If others can do it, why can’t I? If someone offers better terms, why can’t I switch sides?”

“Hmph!” Frampt snorted coldly:

“You don’t need to make excuses for yourself. The disloyalty of others is not an excuse for you to betray your master.”

“Wrong!” Tucker suddenly shouted:

“I was born a commoner, but I never considered myself inferior. As fellow children of God, what’s the difference?”

“Kingdom princesses, descendants of dukes, noble bloodlines…, they are born superior.”

“And I…”

“Born lowly, with limited knowledge, and no one to help, I have to work hard for everything they can get easily.”

“Why?”

Tucker took off his helmet and looked directly at Frampt:

“Do people like me only deserve to be obedient serfs? Humiliated commoners?”

“I once knelt on the ground and begged for food, endured seven days and nights in the snow for a martial technique, and nearly lost my life several times for the most basic breathing technique!”

“Every time I went to battle, I was at the forefront, killing the most enemies, but the credit went to those nobles!”

“In this world, there are countless heroic tales and legendary figures, why can’t an ordinary person succeed?”

He looked around and roared:

“I!”

“Thunder Spear Tucker!”

“Have never betrayed anyone!”

“I just want to prove that even those born lowly can become legends, praised by future generations!”

“There are no nobles in the Black Armored Army, few Knights or Knight Squires, yet we have conquered several fortified cities. We want to show those nobles that we can do what they can do, and we can do what they can’t!”

“Whoosh…”

A strong wind swept across the ground, and no one responded, only a fierce fire burned in the eyes of the Black Armored Army soldiers.

“What’s your name?”

Tucker dismounted, holding his spear as he walked forward:

“Your loyalty has earned my respect, but if you continue to block the path, you’ll only lose your life in vain.”

“Framt!”

Framt raised his longsword, looking directly at Thunder Spear Tucker, shouting:

“Loyalty!”

“Boom!”

The Forbidden Technique was fully unleashed at this moment, his life force becoming fuel, pushing his battle aura beyond the limits of a Knight.

Reaching the level of a Grand Knight, or even stronger.

“Bang!”

The two collided in mid-air.

Soon after.

Thunder Spear Tucker put away his spear and instructed those around him:

“Although he doesn’t know how to adapt, this man is a warrior. Collect his body and find a place to bury him.”

“Yes!”

His subordinates responded.

“Report!”

At this moment, a messenger rushed over:

“City Lord Terrence has escaped from Signo City, but we have captured Princess Duna of Sark.”

“Oh!”

Tucker’s eyes flickered.

By the time Princess Duna was brought over, her hair was disheveled, her body covered in blood, and her legs were broken.

This was unavoidable.

There weren’t many experts in the Black Armored Army. To control Princess Duna, who was a Knight, they had to use forceful methods to ensure she couldn’t resist.

“Tucker!”

Duna collapsed on the ground, the pain making her body tremble uncontrollably. She gritted her teeth and looked up:

“I am the princess of the Sark Kingdom. Even if I am captured by you, I can apply for asylum according to the treaty.”

“You can demand a ransom, but you can’t kill me!”

“Of course.” Tucker knelt on one knee and extended his right hand:

“My princess.”

“I heard that the royal family of the Sark Kingdom has a special method that can help Grand Knights ascend to become Legends.”

“I wonder if I could obtain it?”

Duna’s body suddenly stiffened.

Karl held his breath, his body transforming into a shadow as he leaped across the rooftops under the cover of night.

Those who were well-informed had already heard the news of the Black Armored Army storming into the city. Many people packed their belongings and took to the streets, fleeing with their families towards the city gates.

The number of people taking advantage of the chaos was also increasing.

The flames,

grew even fiercer.

“Hurry!”

In the courtyard, Kingsley was calling out to the servants to pack their belongings:

“Load the important things onto the carriage. Leave everything else behind. We need to leave before daybreak.”

“What are you doing?”

Giles roared loudly:

“If we leave Signo City, our assets will shrink by more than half. I refuse to leave!”

“Father!” Kingsley was dumbfounded:

“Have you not seen? Colon’s soldiers have already breached the city. Signo has fallen.”

“If we don’t leave now, we’ll lose not only our assets, but our lives as well!”

“You’re wrong.” Giles shook his head:

“What’s the point of saving our lives if we have no assets? This city holds the wealth I’ve painstakingly accumulated over decades.”

“We can’t leave!”

He stepped forward, grabbed the carriage, and started unloading the items that had just been placed on it.

“Father.”

Kingsley stomped her foot in anger:

“Have you gone mad?”

“Father.” Yvonne also pleaded in a low voice:

“As long as we’re alive, we can earn back the money we lose. The most important thing now is to escape the city.”

“Yvonne, have you informed Cousin Karl?”

“Miss.”

A young servant replied:

“There’s no one at Mr. Karl’s residence. He might have already left.”

“No one there?” Yvonne’s face showed worry:

“Could it be that he still doesn’t know what’s happening in the city? Could he be at the Patrol Headquarters? Why don’t you make another trip?”

“Don’t be ridiculous!” Kingsley rolled her eyes:

“With the situation outside, how could you possibly find him? I’m telling you, he must have already left.”

“If even we know what’s going on, how could Karl, a Patrol Officer, be unaware?”

“But even if you think of him, he might not be thinking of you. My experience tells me that men are all unreliable.”

“Let’s go! Let’s go!” Giles shouted at the two:

“You two only know how to run. When did I agree? I said no one is leaving!”

“Father!”

Kingsley stood rooted to the spot, staring at her father:

“You really have gone mad!”

“How can money be more important than life?”

“Who says so?” Giles’s eyes widened:

“With enough money, you can buy slaves, servants. Even if you kill someone, you can pay gold to atone.”

“If you have enough money, even the Morning Sun can forgive murder. What can’t money do?”

“Life is not as important as money!”

“Father.” Yvonne pleaded:

“But if we lose our lives, the money won’t belong to us anyway!”

“Who says we’ll definitely lose our lives?” Giles scoffed:

“Even if the people of Colon occupy Signo City, they’ll still need merchants, they’ll still need people to work for them.”

“We might even make a fortune!”

“Uncle, you’ve truly opened my eyes.” Karl leaped down from the rooftop at that moment. Hearing Giles’s words, he couldn’t help but be speechless. He shook his head and said:

“Since you refuse to leave, why not let Yvonne and Kingsley come with me? They can return when it’s safe.”

“Karl!”

“Cousin Karl.”

Kingsley and Yvonne both spoke at the same time.

“Cousin Karl.” Yvonne’s face was filled with joy:

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Karl shook his head:

“Thunder Spear Tucker has entered Signo City. This city will be occupied by the people of Colon. We need to leave as soon as possible.”

His purpose in coming here was to inform them, after all, they were his only ‘family.’ However, he didn’t expect to encounter this situation.

“Father!”

Yvonne turned around and pleaded:

“Cousin Karl is here. Let’s go!”

“You can leave if you want, but I’m not going.” Giles shook his head, his hands continuing to unload the items from the carriage:

“And you’re not allowed to take my things. Not a single penny. These are all mine.”

“You…” Kingsley trembled with anger:

“Fine!”

“Let’s go!”

She stepped forward, grabbed Yvonne, who still didn’t know what to do, and rushed towards the door.

At the same time, she asked:

“Karl, where are we going first?”

“Out of the city.” Karl said:

“We’ll exit through the North Gate. It’s already open, and there are no Colon troops there. We’ll go to my mentor’s manor and meet up with my Senior Martial Sister.”

…………

Black Swamp.

Tim, his face grim, stood in front of a pitch-black cave entrance, holding a white flower in his hand.

White chrysanthemum,

the flower favored by the deceased.

It was usually worn only during funerals.

“My condolences.”

A man came to his side and nodded in greeting:

“Adolf was too hasty. After obtaining the Green Potion, he attempted to break through to the Full-fledged Wizard realm without adequate preparation. As a result, the spell construction failed, and not even a soul shard remained.”

“Perhaps…”

He sighed:

“This is our destiny!”

“Mr. Arthur.” Tim bowed his head, his voice heavy:

“Thank you for choosing a burial site for my mentor and arranging his funeral. I will always remember this kindness.”

“You’re welcome.” Arthur was tall and thin, with a slight beard, resembling a refined elder.

He waved his hand gently and asked:

“According to wizarding customs, Adolf’s inheritance will be passed on to his apprentices. Besides you, how many other apprentices did he have?”

Hearing this, Tim’s fingers trembled slightly.
