Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 557 - 12: Nuclear Bomb
Carl followed the marks left by Hume, using his movement technique to glide forward, soon arriving at a desolate small town.
Uncertain of what it had experienced, most buildings in the town had collapsed.
A few civilians searched for supplies amidst the ruins, their expressions wooden, as if they had lost hope for the future.
Carl’s figure paused slightly before stepping towards a courtyard.
"Conni!"
"Knight Conni!"
"..."
A dozen people gathered in the courtyard, among them were Hume, Ruiqi’er, Nicole, and Jerry.
Carl glanced at the four, his tone carrying comfort:
"I didn’t expect all four of you to advance to Legendary, it seems there’s divine protection at work."
In just a year, the four advanced one after another without failure, a probability indeed not common.
"Thanks to your guidance, Conni. We consumed the golden fruit to advance, otherwise, we might have become those creatures."
Ruiqi’er sighed, extending a hand to introduce:
"Let me introduce you to some friends, they are also determined to change the current state of the Holy Hall."
"Edward, who advanced to Legendary just a month ago..."
"Mascara..."
During Carl’s ’retreat’ for cultivation, Ruiqi’er and others secretly formed a mutual aid group within the Holy Hall, gradually expanding, now having over twenty formal members.
Even more are peripheral members!
With Jerry and Nicole, two Apprentice Priests, providing cover, the mutual aid group has yet to have any issues.
"Good!"
"Very good!"
Carl looked at everyone, nodding repeatedly:
"Many hands make light work; the elders of the Holy Hall have forgotten the faith that existed at the beginning, it’s time for change."
"Only a few realizing the problem can’t change anything; only by awakening a majority can we topple them!"
As a Third Ring Wizard proficient in Spiritual Magic, Carl’s simple words ignited the fighting spirit in the hearts of those present, unknowingly imprinting a ’Leader’ image within them.
"Right!"
Nicole spoke up:
"Recently, the Second Elder has been having people transform the base, and I think those performing the transformations are followers of the Evil God."
"Transform the base?" Carl turned his head:
"How are they transforming it?"
"They are turning the original soil and stone structure into metallic corridors, with a peculiar, almost indestructible metal fortifying the exterior, greatly enhancing its defense." Jerry said:
"The Priest has also recruited nearly a thousand Apprentice Knights, equipping them with armor and strange weapons."
"Those weapons have a cylinder at the front that can eject Fire Stone, enabling ordinary people to threaten a knight."
Huh?
Firearms!
The handiwork of the Creator!
Suddenly looking solemn, Carl urgently asked:
"When did this happen?"
"It’s been three months, perhaps?" Jerry thought for a while and replied:
"Don’t worry, Knight Conni, we’re very careful. We only discuss important matters when there are no outsiders present."
"Three months?" Carl shook his head lightly:
"They’ve already discovered you."
With the technological prowess of the Creator, monitoring every move of base inhabitants is a piece of cake.
Unaware of the power of technology, Jerry and company thought avoiding people’s gaze was sufficient, not realizing their commotion was long known.
"Discovered?" Ruiqi’er had no doubts about Carl’s words, instead furrowing her brows:
"If discovered, why haven’t they acted against us?"
"They’re waiting for Conni." Hume slowly drew his Knight Sword, his face becoming solemn:
"Because they know, our core is Conni. As long as he’s alive, they can’t resolve the problem."
"Something’s coming!"
Just as he spoke, dozens of black dots appeared in the sky, hurtling towards the courtyard at an astonishing speed.
Carl looked up.
With his eyesight, he could clearly see the smooth and rounded metallic construction of the black dots.
Even,
Sensing through the outer layer of metal, an internal aggregation change, a violent force preparing to erupt.
"Boom!"
Flames soared into the sky.
The sound followed a beat later.
"Careful!"
With a wave of his large hand, Carl released a ghastly pale Battle Aura, transforming into a giant cocoon enveloping the courtyard.
"Boom!"
"Rumble..."
Explosions ensued one after another, unceasingly shaking the surroundings.
The assailant seemed intent on annihilating everyone here, the explosions not only engulfing the manor but the entire town.
From afar.
Countless bombs descended from the sky, instantly turning the town into a sea of flames, the ground trembling violently as well.
"Heh!"
In the chaotic core, Carl roared, a massive pair of wings spreading out behind him, fiercely launching skyward.
The Battle Aura streaming out instantly dispersed the surrounding bombs.
"Second Tier Desecration Abnormal Beasts..."
"No!"
In the high sky, a Second Tier Holy Knight from the Holy Hall shook his head lightly, showing perplexity on his face:
"It should be a Desecration Knight." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"No one has ever retained sanity after consuming the Desecration Potion and advancing to Second Tier."
"Not a single one!"
The Holy Hall’s lab studied the Pale Wings’ corpse for hundreds of years, with travelers from the Otherworld joining, and the Dragon Calamity providing Bloodline knowledge, coupled with genetic technology from the Creator’s followers. In some regards, the development of the Desecration Abnormal Beast was near perfect, with exceptions unheard of since the initial generation.
But Carl,
Was undoubtedly an anomaly!
"Mr. Huang."
The Priest turned, speaking to a yellow-skinned, black-eyed man beside him:
"If possible, capture him alive, or at least leave an intact body, the lab will find it useful."
"Hmm." Mr. Huang slowly nodded:
"I’m also very interested in an Evil God Bloodline that surpasses genetic limits."
"Shoosh!"
In a flash, his figure vanished from the spot.
Divine Martial Seventeen Forms—Beng Fist!
A simple action packed with force comparable to a nuclear blast, the air before the fist shattered instantly, even causing the space to appear slightly unstable.
Third Tier!
Though possessing only Second Tier cultivation, that punch unleashed the power of a Third Tier. Truly worthy of the Creator’s followers, one could unleash much greater power once the body was fully transformed.
Carl’s eyes shifted slightly.
He had encountered a follower of the Creator before, who was an Upper-level Vassal, but at that time, the world’s rules only permitted Second Tier Early Stage power, and the opponent had just arrived, unable to exhibit their true Third Tier strength.
But not now.
The figure before him, merely a Middle Level Vassal, could burst out Third Tier power thanks to technological assistance.
Gale Slash!
With eyes narrowing, Carl swiftly rotated his broad sword, each wave of Sword Qi charging forward in succession.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the Sword Qi shattered on the spot, Carl getting slammed away by an immense force.
"Good!"
Stabilizing mid-air, Carl roared again, charging back:
"Take this, Holy Sanction!"
The wings on his back quietly folded as Battle Aura infused with a deathly aura gathered on the broad sword’s blade.
A Sword Intent capable of tearing through the heavens and earth slashed down mightily.
"Zi-la..."
The Evil God’s Vassal, Mr. Huang, froze, eyes filled with terror and confusion, then his body split in two.
"Third Tier?"
The Priest’s eyelid twitched, turning to flee.
The target wasn’t just Third Tier but a Third Tier with an Evil God Bloodline, only the Second Elder’s presence could match him; no one at the base could challenge him otherwise.
"Trying to escape?"
Carl snorted coldly, his figure flashing out rapidly, as a flash of sword light appeared, another body lay in the air.
After killing the Priest, he didn’t linger, quickly descending, wings spreading to envelop Hume and the others securely.
Just as he completed the movement, three among the crowd’s faces twisted, their abdomens swelling rapidly.
"Ah!"
"Boom!"
Three miniaturized nuclear bombs hidden within human bodies exploded violently.
