Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 188 - 18 Why Pioneers Are Everywhere

In Amade City, Richard and Ulysses quickly arrived at Ahmad Mansion. In the courtyard of the mansion, the corpses of two assassinated trusted aides of Amade were still dissipating the Power of Nightmare.

"This Master is quite abrupt, discarding two Big Nightmare corpses just like that."

Richard sighed, stuffed the two corpses into the Magic Pocket, and temporarily isolated the dissipating Power of Nightmare inside the bag.

With just these two corpses, Richard considered this mission perfectly complete. The Power of Nightmare emanating from the corpses of the two Big Nightmares was enough to refine the Soul Essence needed for Richard to break through as a Second Ring Wizard.

"Ulysses, take this bag to my body. I will now enter the mansion to see if I can have a share of the spoils."

Ulysses took the bag and flew into the sky, "Caw, then be careful. It doesn't matter if the Soul Seed is damaged, but don't get contaminated with any strange stuff."

Richard nodded and then entered the mansion.

From the outside, Ahmad Mansion did not seem small, but its interior space clearly surpassed the outer architectural frame.

Following the extremely faint traces of magic left by that Master, Richard ventured deep into Ahmad Mansion and saw many Nightmare Creatures dissipating the Power of Nightmare.

These Nightmare Creatures were each bizarre and abnormal, with some even retaining the sinister and malicious Dream Rules.

If Richard encountered these Nightmare Creatures, even if it wouldn't kill him, escaping would cost him dearly.

But now, these sinister and malicious Nightmare Creatures had all been effortlessly destroyed by the entering Master, leaving hardly any magical traces.

Looking at these Nightmare Creatures, Richard couldn't help but chuckle.

Though that Master disdained the little Power of Nightmare here, Richard was keen on it; the Power of Nightmare contained within these creatures was substantial, and the lingering Dream Rules especially made Richard covetous.

He could now refine Soul Essence with the Power of Nightmare and also refine Dream Rules with the power of the soul. The Dream Rules would enhance Richard's combat prowess, making obtaining the Power of Nightmare even easier.

This process had come full circle.

After using the Power of Nightmare to make a Magic Pocket, Richard stuffed all the Nightmare Creatures into the bag and followed the traces of magic.

At the entrance to the basement of Ahmad Mansion, a shadow cloaked in runes asked:

"Are you sure this is the place?"

Beside him, Amanda nodded affirmatively,

"Master, it absolutely is here. This is the only part of the mansion I haven't entered. If there truly is a Nightmare Artifact, it must be inside."

The shadowy figure nodded and then conjured a very ancient and mystical Magic Wand in his hand.

The wand was silver-white, covered in intricate runes. If Richard were here, he would recognize the material of the wand as Mithril, akin to Pure Gold and Ao Steel. The head of the wand was a crystal ball with runes continuously blinking within, flowing and shimmering with a gentle yet mysterious radiance.

Without a doubt, it was an extremely powerful Magic Wand.

Beside him, Amanda looked at the figure before her with immense respect and relief. Though the Power of Nightmare in this Master was suppressed by the Sealing Skill, the inherent Power of Nightmare reached that of a third-level creature.

With this Three Rings Master, he could surely escape this time.

Suddenly, the preparing Three Rings Wizard stopped,

"Somebody is coming," he frowned, "and it's a Level 1 Creature."

But he was sure, before he entered, all the Nightmare Creatures in Ahmad Mansion had been cleared by him, and the other Nightmare Creatures of this power in the territory had followed Amade. Moreover, according to the rules among Nightmare Creatures, those from other territories wouldn't invade Amade's territory at this time.

So where did this Nightmare Creature come from?

He signaled Amanda, a gesture for stealth and awaiting orders, known in the White Wizard Army.

Then he himself used a spell to hide.

He had to see what was coming.

Soon, Richard appeared at the entrance to the basement corridor. From the Energy Vision, there was a creature hiding in the dark in front of the basement door.

But the energy intensity of this creature was clearly far less than that of a third-level creature.

Richard furrowed his brows, thinking, "The magical traces indeed entered this passage. Now that I can't see the Three Rings Master, either he has gone inside, or he has noticed my presence and thus concealed himself."

Thus, Richard conjured a Magic Wand in his hand and simulated a Light Brightness Technique using the Power of Nightmare.

Seeing this, Amanda's eyes nearly popped out.

"Light Brightness Technique, it definitely is Light Brightness Technique! A Nightmare Creature using witchcraft!"

Next to him, the Three Rings Wizard then revealed himself,

"Are you the new one?" the Three Rings Wizard inquired.

Seeing a figure emerge from the darkness, glowing so brilliantly he was hard to look at directly, Richard spoke,

"Master, it's me."

Beside him, Amanda felt a shock.

This creature using spells turned out to be a Wizard in disguise!

Has the club's research on Nightmare Creatures reached this level already?

Richard walked up to the Three Rings Wizard and respectfully performed a Wizard's Salute.

"My name is Richard, may I ask for the Master's name?"

"Su Yisa," the Three Rings Wizard responded coolly.

Amanda stepped out of the shadows, looking at Richard and clicking his tongue in wonder,

"Master Richard, your disguise is truly... flawless."

Richard glanced at Amanda and had already guessed his identity.

"You are Amanda, aren't you? I am a member of the Dreamwalker Club. I'm glad to see you're still alive."

After a few pleasantries, Master Su Yisa began to break the door again.

The door to the basement contained the rules of the Nightmare World, and if it relied solely on brute force, only a figure at the level of World Master could break it.

A mystical aura emitted from the magic wand in Su Yisa's hand, and just touching it made Richard feel a bit dazed, as if about to fall asleep.

"Is this the power of Nightmare Rules, or Dream Rules?"

Richard made an effort to perk up and carefully observed Su Yisa's application of the rules.

Unfortunately, his own power was too weak, and Su Yisa did not intentionally let them observe and learn. Therefore, Richard only saw Su Yisa lightly tap the door with his magic wand, and a crack formed in the basement door.

The three wizards entered, and Su Yisa immediately spotted a coffin placed deep within the basement.

The coffin was filled with a strong force of Nightmare Rules. However, as expected, this coffin was what he had come seeking on this adventure.

Su Yisa said indifferently to the two wizards drinking soup beside him, "The gap in the door can hold for one more minute, see to it."

With that, he headed straight for the coffin.

Hearing this, Richard and Amanda immediately sprang into action. The basement was filled with many boxes, which, in the energy vision, were all covered with dense light paths, clearly Treasure Box Monsters.

And at the bottom of these Treasure Box Monsters, there was a line of energy light path connected, obviously a theft prevention measure for the basement.

This also meant that Richard could not just carry these boxes and take all of Amade's collections away.

"Amanda, these boxes are all Treasure Box Monsters, and they are connected to the security system. Be careful," Richard called out as a warning.

This caution wasn't out of kindness but because as teammates, if Amanda triggered any security measures, the Three Rings Wizard might escape, but he might not.

Amanda smiled gratefully at Richard and then a magic wand materialized in his hand, opening the box in front of him.

Creak!

The box opened, and a scarlet tongue instantly lashed out towards Amanda, but thanks to Richard's warning, the strike was unsuccessful.

Seeing no problem with him, Richard also conjured up a Pure Gold short gun in his hand and opened a less formidable looking Treasure Box Monster.

Creak, bang!

Just as the Treasure Box Monster was about to strike Richard with a huge lashing tongue, Richard stabbed it back with a short gun, then continually stirred inside its throat.

Ugh!

Soon, the Treasure Box Monster spat out something that looked a bit odd.

Richard picked it up, and in an instant, his brain crashed.

Wait, how could the artifacts of Pioneer appear in the Nightmare World?

What the Treasure Box Monster spat out was not just anything, but a very small and exquisite crystal artifact.

As a wizard who had studied Pioneer Crystals for over a decade, he was certain he wasn't mistaken—this thing was a Pioneer Crystal.

Without hesitation, Richard immediately stuffed it into a Magic Pocket.

At this moment, there were only a few seconds left before the crack closed, and Richard decided not to take any more risks and immediately passed through the crack, leaving the basement.

Just as he exited, Su Yisa unlocked the sealing on the coffin, and the horrifying item sealed inside the coffin burst out at that moment, causing all the Treasure Box Monsters in the basement to riot.

At this moment, while fighting the Black Knight Commander, Amanda suddenly sensed the intrusion into the basement and momentarily losing focus, his great sword paused, barely brushing past the tip of the Black Knight's spear.

The dark tip of the spear looked plain, but the terrifying power it contained was enough to make Amanda fear.

Amanda tried to dodge, but he didn't manage to completely evade, and as the spear's tip touched the armor, layers of magic on the armor instantly shattered, dozens of interconnected defense spells in front of the Riding Spear were as fragile as paper.

However, the spear's tip also lost some of its power in the process of smashing these spells.

Boom!

Amanda's left arm exploded under the spear's tip, turning into a soaring pillar of nightmare. At the same moment, his great sword slashed into the body of the Black Knight Commander.

Tear.

The Black Knight Commander was cut in two by the great sword, the dreadful power of the Demon Sword hindered the healing of the wounds, and a more powerful pillar of nightmare appeared on the battlefield.

"Lord Amanda has won!" Magic Puppet Billy said with a mournful face.

"Isn't winning good? Why that face?" Richard asked.

"Heh," Magic Puppet Billy gave a bitter smile, "With such grievous injuries to Lord Amanda, we might as well brace ourselves for taxes increased tenfold for a hundred years!"

Having said that, he spoke somewhat resignedly:

"Better off dead, wouldn't it?"

"You sure?" Richard asked with a somewhat odd expression.

"What's the matter?"

Richard pointed towards the sky, where Amanda, having stabilized his injuries, ignored his subordinates and flew directly towards Amade City.

The basement was his treasure vault, containing a major item that absolutely must not be lost.

Upon seeing this, Magic Puppet Billy's wooden mouth almost fell off.

"No, I was just kidding!"
