Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 448: After killing one in the late stage of 007

Carl’s feet pounded the ground as he dashed away at high speed, resembling a winding, twisting black lightning. In just a few flashes, he was on the verge of vanishing.

The Petrification Skill from the Hua Snake had not killed him. Protected by Thunder God’s Fury, it was useless against him unless it was a high-level sudden death witchcraft. Moreover, when the Petrification Skill activated, he had used the resistance of his giant shield to seize the opportunity and retreat into a Divine Domain Fragment. The witchcraft never even touched him. The giant shield was destroyed, but he was unscathed!

However, having been played like a monkey and nearly facing true danger, he resolved to retaliate no matter what.

"Quick, chase him!"

"Get the item back!"

Veins bulged on Gold’s forehead as he bellowed. He had betrayed his friends for the Ghost Face Blood Vine; naturally, he wouldn’t just watch as his hard-won prize was snatched away.

Just as he was about to rush toward Carl, a battered figure blocked his path.

"You dishonorable bastard," Clements gritted his teeth and roared, "Die!"

One-Circle Witchcraft—Crystal Sword!

A series of longswords formed from ice crystals materialized out of thin air, their cold, sharp aura palpable as they shot straight toward Gold.

"Honor?" Gold’s face showed disdain. "My friend, do you think you’re in any position to judge me?"

As he dodged the onslaught and attempted to go around Clements, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, his sense of danger surging. Imminent peril!

Clements was, after all, a Late First Ring Wizard who had lived for nearly two hundred years; he undoubtedly possessed some last-resort techniques. Grievously wounded and near death, he cast aside his usual reservations.

Soul Giant Arrow!

This witchcraft, ignited by burning soul power, was a self-destructive gambit, tremendously terrifying in power.

This is bad! Gold’s heart raced. Clements knows he won’t survive today, so he wants to take me down with him. He’s aiming for mutual destruction!

Although Gold had some techniques, he was only a First Ring Middle Stage Wizard. Facing a desperate Late First Ring Wizard, he was immediately plunged into grave danger.

「On the hilltop.」

The Clan Leader of the Pelo family frowned as he observed the scene below. His eyes flickered as he quickly made a decision.

"Tang En."

"Here."

"You chase Conni and bring back the item. I will assist Mr. Gold in dealing with Clements."

"Yes!"

The Pelo family had mobilized almost its entire force this time, aiming to kill Clements and curry favor with Gold. As for the Ghost Face Blood Vine... it was secondary. Moreover, Tang En was the only other Late First Ring Wizard in the family besides the Clan Leader himself, surely capable enough to retrieve the item.

「* * *」

Escape! Flee quickly!

Carl pressed on furiously, sprinting with all his might.

Gold was held up by Clements. The Pelo family, to avoid detection, had hidden some distance from the Nameless Snake Valley. The direction he chose for his breakthrough wasn’t heavily guarded, so theoretically, he wouldn’t have to worry about being discovered for a short while...

Hmm?

"Conni!" Berni’s voice came from behind, "Leave the item, and you’ll be a friend of the Pelo family. This time, Clements deceived you; it has nothing to do with us."

"Hmph!" Carl snorted lightly, his speed increasing once again. Their decision not to pursue the escaped Nina indicated that what he possessed was indeed valuable.

"You can’t escape," Berni’s voice was eerie as the distance between them rapidly closed. "Even if you escape from me, so what? Once you return to the Dream Market, you still won’t be able to escape."

"Heh..."

"Since you refuse to be friends, then die!" Berni’s eyes narrowed. His speed suddenly doubled, and he appeared like lightning right behind Carl, lightly raising his Magic Wand.

One-Circle Witchcraft—Water Dragon Tornado!

ROAR!

In the dense forest, abundant water elements rapidly converged, instantly forming a water dragon over ten meters long. The water dragon roared at the sky and lunged forward. This witchcraft was no mere display; each drop of water within the dragon’s form contained immense destructive power. A Legendary Knight? Before this power, a mere sweep could tear one to shreds! At the same Level, a Wizard adept at utilizing external forces was far stronger than a Legendary Knight. This was common knowledge. Especially since Berni was a First Ring Middle Stage Wizard.

SWOOSH!

Facing the incoming water dragon, Carl suddenly spun around. His muscles tensed in an instant, his hands slightly raised.

Holy Demon Transformation!

Thousand Buddha Hands!

The bronze body achieved through the Holy Demon Transformation allowed him to charge directly into the oncoming water dragon. He remained unharmed despite the erosive force of the water. He was indeed a Legendary Knight, but Berni didn’t realize Carl was a Late Stage Legend.

His hands formed mudras. In an instant, immense force gathered into his palms, and he struck out fiercely.

BANG!

The terrifying force directly shattered the water dragon. The supreme serenity and wisdom inherent in the Thousand Buddha Hands also suppressed the Wizard’s spiritual power, aiming directly for his face. Even Buddhas have wrathful aspects.

A hint of a daze flashed in Berni’s eyes. He then struggled to regain clarity, various defensive Spirit Lights flaring up all at once.

In the next instant, Carl’s hands, like unstoppable blades, shattered one defensive Spirit Light after another.

BANG!

The palm seal pressed tightly against Berni’s chest. A tremendous force surged, directly blasting his body in half. Blood and viscera flew everywhere.

"First Ring Middle Stage?" Carl stepped back to dodge the flying gore, shaking his head slightly. If there was more distance, it might have been troublesome. But this close, even a Late First Ring Wizard wouldn’t scare me.

With that, he quickly gathered the spoils of war and prepared to leave.

"Berni!"

Just as he was about to turn, an enraged roar echoed from afar, and his body immediately tensed.

One-Circle Witchcraft—Binding of the Water Element! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Unseen until now, chains formed from converging streams of water materialized nearby, trapping him tightly in their center like a large net.

Hmm? Carl’s expression darkened slightly.

Late First Ring! The Pelo family, besides its Clan Leader, actually had another Late First Ring Wizard. However, this opponent must have only recently achieved their breakthrough, as their spiritual pressure was far less formidable than Clements’s.

"Vajra Seal!" Forming a hand seal, Carl roared lowly, "Break!"

BANG!

A massive force erupted, instantly shattering the witchcraft binding him and causing his opponent’s expression to shift slightly.

Late Stage Legend? The newcomer was shocked. The information was incorrect. When had such an expert arrived at the Dream Market? No wonder he dared to snatch items coveted by two major families.

"You actually killed Berni!" Floating high in the air, Tang En’s facial muscles twitched. "You’re seeking death!"

Berni was the Wizard in the family most likely to reach Late First Ring in recent decades; high hopes had been placed on him. Now...

One-Circle Witchcraft—Dark Water Gun!

The sky suddenly darkened, clouds turning pitch black as a witchcraft-created Dark Water Gun, about a meter long, descended from above. Carl looked up to see an attack as dense as rain.

"HA!"

Sky Wolf Illusion Demon Fist!

Battle Aura roared out, transforming into a gigantic wolf. Bearing the brunt of the descending Dark Water Guns, it pounced toward Tang En’s location.

Sky Wolf Speed!

Illusion Demon Capturing God!

Ordinary Wizards could not have blocked this strike, but his target this time was a Late First Ring Wizard. Tang En’s eyes merely shimmered. Instantly, his body flashed, creating over a dozen lifelike, indistinguishable afterimages.

Water Avatar!

BANG!

Several Water Avatars were bitten through by the giant wolf, dissolving into streams of water that attempted to entangle Carl, while the other Avatars all raised their hands at once.

Binding!

Instantly, chains appeared out of thin air, one end connected to Carl’s body, the other held in the hands of the Water Avatars.

One-Circle Witchcraft—Boiling!

"HMM!" Carl let out a muffled grunt, feeling the water within his body uncontrollably rushing outward. In just a few breaths, an extreme Weakness swept over him. The human body is mostly composed of water; severe dehydration is something even Legendary Knights cannot withstand. Water Magic could not only control the water elements in the air but also directly extract water from a human body.

Treasure Pearl Seal!

A person like a Treasure Bead, flawless and without leaks.

Forming a Buddhist seal with his hands, Carl immediately stemmed the outflow of water from his body. At the same time, his figure wavered, and multiple arms stretched out from behind him, striking toward the Water Avatars in the area.

"Hmm?" Tang En looked surprised, "Bloodline Magic!" This method of dividing and contorting the body was something only a Bloodline Wizard could perform, and it required a significant degree of bloodline fusion.

Before his surprise could fade, an extreme terror welled up within him.

Second Circle Witchcraft—Fear Aura!

Even Late First Ring Wizards, faced with the Talent Wizardry of the Abyssal Squid, could not help but be momentarily shaken.

By the time Tang En regained his senses, Carl’s figure had vanished from his perception. Instead, twelve huge pillars and a thick fog enveloping the vicinity had appeared.

"HUFF..." Carl, appearing at the outer periphery of the Twelve Star Palaces, breathed a long sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gently shook his head. The spiritual power of a Late First Ring Wizard is terrifying, and their witchcraft is formidable. If I can’t launch a sneak attack at close range, my current chances of winning are slim.

Fortunately... I’m not without my own methods!

Through his explorations during this period, he was now able to manipulate the Twelve Star Palaces simply, although he could not fully master it. Actually, even Sodan hadn’t fully mastered this Curio, suspected to be Third-tier. Now, Carl could use the Twelve Star Palaces as a temporary Witchcraft Trap to detain his enemies. Even a Late First Ring Wizard, once trapped within, would not be able to escape quickly.

Indeed, Tang En, trapped within the Star Palaces, tried to break free several times before gradually ceasing his attempts and looking up toward Carl.

Hmm? He can actually sense my presence. Carl gently shook his head. The spiritual power of a Late First Ring Wizard is indeed strong. Perhaps the Twelve Star Palaces won’t hold him for long.

But... that’s enough!

His expression darkened. He raised his hand, casting out over a dozen Seals, four of which were clearly First Rank Late Stage Seals.

Chain Fireball!

BOOM!

RUMBLE...

A deafening roar of explosions erupted, and destructive Fierce Flames surged incessantly within the Twelve Star Palaces.

Moments later, Carl grabbed a charred corpse and dashed off into the distance.
