Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 686 - 684 Very Interesting Things!

Almost at the moment the sound rang out, Casol’s body uncontrollably trembled, and his heart momentarily stopped.

It wasn’t fear, but shock!

After the shock came contemplation, and true fear and apprehension followed!

The reason was simple: the person who made the sound had gone undetected by him until the sound was made, much like how he had approached Pandora earlier.

He had overwhelming strength over Pandora, allowing him to approach her unnoticed.

Now, someone had approached him in the same manner. Did that not mean that this person also possessed overwhelming strength over him?

Even if that wasn’t the case, it showed that the other party had extremely sophisticated techniques for concealing their presence. Furthermore, their willingness to reveal themselves meant they were not afraid of him, which made him wary.

Numerous thoughts flashed through Casol’s mind. The next moment, Casol abruptly turned his head toward the source of the sound and then saw a very ordinary-looking man. The man was young, with an aura that wasn’t strong, appearing more like a common man than a wizard.

What...

The speculation in his heart and the visual exploration created a huge discrepancy. Casol couldn’t help but pause, and then he quickly composed himself. With no room for carelessness, he vigilantly asked, "Who are you?"

"I, well, you don’t need to know," Richard said, his gaze not on Casol but rather assessing the injuries of Pandora.

"Um?" Casol was puzzled.

"Because a person who is about to die doesn’t need to know too much," Richard said, still looking at Pandora.

"Ha!" Casol laughed, but it was a mocking laugh. Through Richard’s words, he felt a great sense of disdain which made an uncontrollable anger rise within him, stronger than what he had felt towards Pandora earlier. After all, Richard’s words were typically what he would have said.

"Very well!" Casol, looking at Richard, said repeatedly, "You’re really something! I would like to see if you have the qualifications to say that, I want to see who exactly is about to die!"

After speaking, Casol’s body suddenly leaped up, like a big bird, pouncing towards Richard.

Richard stood still, continuing to watch Pandora without moving, waiting until Casol got close before he finally turned his head and gave Casol a glance.

Then, flipping his hand, a blood-red One-Hit Kill Staff appeared, aimed at Casol’s body.

Casol felt a surge of crisis, but it was already too late to dodge. He sped up toward Richard, intending to strike first.

But he clearly wasn’t fast enough.

A streak of blood-red light suddenly appeared, blasting from the One-Hit Kill Staff held by Richard and slammed harshly into Casol.

"Boom!"

The two Magic Shields Casol hastily conjured shattered instantly, the bloody light struck his body and sent him flying like he had been hit by a massive hammer. After a very brief pause, he flew out high speed and crashed to the ground, plowing a deep furrow with his face before stopping.

"Damn it!"

Casol roared as he stood up; the "battle armor" on the surface of his chest was completely shattered, his flesh a bloody blur, and his facial features were twisted to the extreme.

Casol clenched his fists tightly and threatened, "Kid, I won’t spare you! I swear I will kill you!"

After his words, a "whoosh" sound followed as a golden mist sprayed out from his body.

The quantity of the golden blood mist was extremely small, and right after it sprayed out, Casol’s body stooped considerably—obviously, it was a spell with a great cost, one he hadn’t used even in his earlier contest with Muse.

But now, Casol was prepared to use it, intending to kill Richard with this move.

"Kid, I will make you experience true terror!"

Casol shouted.

Richard, however, didn’t respond and had already turned away, putting away the One-Hit Kill Staff and stepped towards Pandora.

Ignoring, completely ignoring!

Casol felt an unprecedented humiliation; his eyes turned red with rage as the sprayed-out golden blood mist crazily covered his body surface, rapidly healing his wounds. Then his muscles writhed, generating large shiny scales.

The scales, Giant Dragon scales!

But compared to real Giant Dragon scales, they were somewhat different—smaller and thinner, as though incompletely developed or of impure bloodline.

Yet, this was enough.

That’s what Casol believed. Once his body was nearly covered in scales, he charged towards Richard with a lethal intent.

Richard, still walking towards Pandora, heard the noise behind him but didn’t look back, merely raising his hand and pointing in the direction of the sound.

At that moment, Casol realized that Richard had put on a dusty Metal Glove, not knowing when, and now one finger of the glove was pointing directly at his body.

What is this?

Casol was puzzled, and amidst his confusion, Richard launched his attack.

The Magic Origin inside his body lightly trembled, releasing free Energy Elements that quickly flowed into the "Destructive Gloves," then into the Magic Chip embedded in the gloves.

After a successful injection, the free Energy Elements began to circulate at high speeds along an incredibly complex path, creating a buzzing sound followed by an extremely terrifying aura.

When this aura peaked, an energy powerful enough to bring destruction burst forth explosively.

"Poof!"

Casol, who had charged to a spot several meters away from Richard, suddenly felt an energy passing through his body. The layer of Fake Dragon Scales on his body, which had cost so much to acquire, was now as fragile as paper mache, providing neither deflection nor deviation effect, and not even fulfilling its most basic defensive function.

"This—"

Casol felt angry and confused, then clearly felt his Life Force uncontrollably slipping away at an alarming rate, absolutely unstoppable.

Casol’s legs began to weaken, and under the force of inertia, he took a few more steps forward before finally collapsing to his knees with a "thud."

What’s going on?

What’s going on?

What is actually going on?

Casol couldn’t understand. Just as he was trying to think, he saw Richard raising his hand again, not looking at him, and pointing a finger from the gloves at him for the second time.

"Poof!"

Casol once again felt an energy passing through his body, this time his Life Force draining away like a breached dam, completely unstoppable. He no longer had time to think; he felt death approaching—the true death!

"No! No! No!"

Casol yelled out, a strong desire to survive emerging, but it was all in vain. His body began to convulse uncontrollably, then stiffened and fell heavily to the ground.

Richard still did not look back and finally reached Pandora’s side.

Pandora looked up and said, "Richard, I’m really sorry; it was my mistake."

"No, you weren’t wrong." Richard, touching Pandora’s head, spoke with an unusual gentleness, "It was me; I should have been more careful."

"Crash!"

At that moment, numerous Dragon Scales on Casol’s dead body suddenly fell off, turning into streaks of silver light soaring into the sky, howling as they went.

Richard tilted his head, realizing something, but it was too late to stop anything, though he did not seem to want to stop. He turned back and seriously asked Pandora, "How badly are you hurt, is it serious?"

"I don’t know," Pandora shook her head.

"Can you stand up on your own?"

"I’ll... try."

"Mm," Richard said and shifted slightly to the side.

Pandora furrowed her brows, her body trembling slightly, apparently severely injured from the recent battle with Casol, but she still gritted her teeth and slowly stood up.

Richard watched, his expression slightly relaxed, the concern in his eyes diminishing slightly.

Just then, a piercing sonic boom sounded from afar, rapidly approaching. Then, a figure fell from the sky, crashing to the ground like a meteor.

"Boom!"

The nearby ground convulsed as if struck by a heavy blow, trembling violently and with a "crash," a large section of the ground collapsed—underground treasures completely destroyed.

Pandora, just managing to stand, was affected by this, her body swaying uncontrollably as she almost fell. Richard quickly reached out to support her, frowning slightly as he looked toward the newcomer.

He saw it was a one-eyed woman in tattered clothes, covered in wounds, looking utterly miserable like a beggar, but her formidable presence was something no one could ignore.

"Who are you?" Richard asked.

"Muse," the newcomer said.

After saying this, Muse slowly spread her hand, looking at the few silver Dragon Scales she held, then glanced at Casol’s body on the ground not far away, and finally, her gaze returned to Richard and the supported Pandora.

After looking around, she burst into laughter, speaking very seriously, "I seem to have discovered something interesting, yes, very interesting."

The last three words were pronounced with great emphasis.
