Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 416 - 35 Convergence of Two Realms
Chapter 416: Chapter 35 Convergence of Two Realms
With one blow, the polar bear stood in mid-air, its gaze looking down at the remaining tree people.
All the wizards present were dumbfounded.
Uninformed onlookers were simply amazed at the power of the strike, while those in the know, like Richard, marvelled at the strength of the World Tree.
The might of a single blow from Garon Great Wizard was terrifying, so one could only wonder how powerful the World Tree, which had battled Garon Great Wizard for years in the Inner World, must be.
Suddenly, Richard approached the polar bear and stealthily supported him.
"Take me back, don’t let them notice."
Jimmy’s weak voice reached Richard’s ears, and without a change in expression, Richard silently cast a Wind Element spell and flew the polar bear back.
Returning to the Command Room, Richard dumped the polar bear on a chair and was about to call a logistics wizard for help, but before he could leave the room, a magic fluctuation erupted from the polar bear.
Turning back, Richard saw a frail, bloodied old figure emerging from the polar bear.
"Master Jimmy?"
Richard hurriedly went over to support Jimmy, but Jimmy stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"A minor issue, just overexertion," Jimmy said lightly.
Looking at the bloodied figure before him, Richard couldn’t help but compare him to Jimmy of the past.
Back then, Jimmy was robust with fine, glossy skin, truly a middle-aged handsome man. But now, Jimmy was emaciated, his face and body covered in wrinkles and age spots, looking like an old man on the verge of death.
"But you don’t look like you’ve just overextended yourself," Richard expressed his concern.
Jimmy was not only the commander of this war, but also a key general of Garon Great Wizard.
If he died and Garon Great Wizard was in a bad mood when clashing with the World Tree, failing to measure his strength...
All the lesser wizards would be doomed.
"Haha, it’s fine."
Jimmy laughed and summoned a stream of water to wash the blood off his body.
"Controlling the power of the headmaster is not easy; this appearance of mine is after special training. Others simply couldn’t make this strike. Even if they did, it wouldn’t have the same outstanding effect."
Seeing Jimmy still had the energy to boast, Richard felt somewhat reassured.
"It’s good that you’re okay. Since you’re fine, I’ll go take care of those tree people."
Although Jimmy had nearly cleared the tree-people sea with his Beast Puppet, the remaining part was still tough to crack.
The overwhelming Magic Concentrated Fire from the White Wizard had used up much of their spiritual power and magic. Without Richard’s support, the White Wizard Army might not be able to clean up the tree-people sea.
There was even a risk of getting counterattacked by the sea of tree people.
Jimmy’s strike was formidable, yet excessively powerful; its impact did not dissipate at all.
The tree people next to the strike were unharmed.
"Don’t worry, the White Wizard Army down there will take care of those tree people," Jimmy waved his hand, signaling for Richard to sit, "First tell me about the headmaster’s situation; aside from the Beast Puppet, didn’t he tell you to bring me any messages?"
Richard stroked his chin and recounted the situation.
"No, the headmaster just told me to bring a Beast Puppet for you. He said with this Beast Puppet, the war in the external world is pretty much won."
Jimmy nodded at his words, then continued to ask, "So how did you contact the headmaster? Using the Lost One’s Magic Equipment?"
"Indeed, but that thing is too big, I couldn’t bring it back."
"Big?" Jimmy was puzzled, "Don’t you have the Secret Realm? How big could it be that you can’t bring it back?"
Remembering the size of the Star Realm Fortress, even bigger than the Floating City, Richard nodded seriously.
"Yeah, couldn’t bring it back."
"Well, okay then."
Jimmy was momentarily stupefied by Richard’s answer.
How could a communicator be so large?
However, Jimmy didn’t pursue it further; since Richard couldn’t bring it back, he could simply visit himself.
"Richard, you have made remarkable achievements in this war. Had it not been for your timely arrival, more than half of the over eight hundred thousand wizards would have perished."
Breaking the barrier between the inner and outer worlds is no simple task; if such barriers were broken, the Green Forest World would undergo severe spatial structural changes.
The ensuing spatial turbulence and Elemental Storms could kill countless wizards.
Richard modestly said, "You overestimate me, Master. I’m just a messenger."
Jimmy shook his head slightly: "There’s no need for modesty; in this battle, your credit is undeniable. Once the battle is over, I will petition the headmaster to award you a Silver Star Medal.
The Silver Star Medal is quite beneficial, with it, your Great Wizard Trial..."
Jimmy stopped mid-sentence because he saw Richard pulling out a Silver Star Medal from his pocket, somewhat embarrassed, he said:
"Well, I already have one of these. Can several of these be upgraded to a Golden Star Medal?"
"No."
Jimmy was a bit dazed with his response, but then he quickly recovered, shocked, "How do you have a Silver Star Medal? Even I only have one, and it was given to me by the headmaster."
As a direct ticket to participate in the selection for the Great Wizard, countless Three Rings Wizards would vie for a Silver Star Medal.
Even his own, was an award for his achievements in the Plane Expedition. Garon the Great Wizard, in recognition of his merits, deliberately went through the council connections to get it approved.
But Richard had only been a Two Rings Wizard for a few years.
Richard scratched his head, "Some years ago, I had good luck and killed a mad Three Rings Wizard."
Hearing this, Jimmy didn’t know what to say.
A mad Three Rings Wizard was no native weakling, every mad wizard who reached Three Rings was formidable. At first sight, even an old wizard might be overturned.
The fact that Richard had managed to kill one could not simply be chalked up to good luck.
"Good luck, huh... well, since you already have that, let’s switch to something else. After the campaign ends, let’s see what you need, and then..."
Buzz!
A buzzing sound suddenly interrupted Jimmy.
He turned around and saw that the crystal ball he used to communicate with Garon the Great Wizard in the Command Room had suddenly lit up.
"Jimmy! Get all the wizards back to the Floating City, activate the final defense! The World Tree is making a desperate move!"
The serious tone of Garon the Great Wizard startled both of them.
Without further words, Richard immediately rushed out of the Command Room to gather his Puppet Army, while Jimmy quickly took out the crystal ball.
"All wizards, attention, all wizards, attention, everyone return to the Floating City immediately! Everyone return to the Floating City immediately!"
Outside the Floating City, the White Wizard Army was urgently exterminating the remaining tree-people. As Richard predicted, even with the sea of tree-people largely cleared, and both spiritual power and magic severely depleted, the White Wizard Army struggled to annihilate the remaining tree-people.
There was even some sense of being pushed back.
These tree-people seemed to have evolved again after witnessing a strike from Garon the Great Wizard.
Suddenly, Jimmy’s voice resounded from every wizard’s crystal ball.
But the order to return to the Floating City left everyone somewhat puzzled.
"All wizards return to the Floating City?" Adams frowned upon hearing the message from his crystal ball.
If they didn’t eliminate the remaining tree-people in one fell swoop, they would soon have to confront a batch of even more troublesome tree-people and later the offsprings of the World Tree.
"What should we do?" asked the vice-commander of the Netherfire Army.
Adams put the crystal ball into his pocket and sighed slightly, "What else can we do? The Commander has given the order, everyone must retreat immediately.
Ah, this battle has been really frustrating."
...
Inner World.
Countless dark roots shot up from the ground, each surmounted by a black crystal.
As they emerged, countless blazing beams of light shot from the crystals, almost illuminating the entire sky.
Their target was Garon the Great Wizard, who was at the center of the sea of roots.
At this moment, Garon the Great Wizard’s shrunken body, formerly towering, had become only the size of a mountain. He clenched the White Bone Wand, which was merged with several World Master bodies, and with furrowed brows, stared towards the end of the world.
There, a pitch-black figure was incessantly damaging the barrier between the inner and outer worlds.
Garon the Great Wizard waved his wand, and a force invisible crossed half the world’s distance, shattering the World Tree.
But soon, the World Tree regenerated and continued to damage the barrier between the inner and outer worlds.
Garon the Great Wizard cursed resignedly, "Such a damn nuisance!"
As a native being of this world, the World Tree’s understanding of the world’s rules and structure far exceeded his as a foreigner.
Coupled with the nearly infinite life energy of the World Tree, if it was determined to breach the barrier, even Garon the Great Wizard couldn’t stop it.
The rain of light fell on Garon the Great Wizard, causing him a slight sting.
Although individually these beams of light weren’t strong enough to breach Garon the Great Wizard’s defenses, thousands of them concentrated at one point inevitably caused him some minor injuries.
This was the role of a group in war.
Through the accumulation of massive ordinary attacks, damage is inflicted on targets at the World Master level.
Although the damage was negligible, in a battle of World Masters, such small damage could tip the balance of the war.
Soon, a severe space fluctuation resonated in both the inner and outer worlds.
The spatial structure changes caused spatial turbulence and elemental storms, instantaneously wreaking havoc in the worlds.
Entire forests were torn to shreds by spatial turbulence, and the elemental storms caused not only a large mountain range of volcanoes to form in the Green Forest World but also a vast storm covering most of the world.
The torrential rain almost instantly turned the area within the storm into a swamp.
The wizards who had returned to the Floating City, witnessing the scenes resembling doomsday outside, couldn’t help but tremble in awe.
Before nature’s mighty power, they, mere wizards, were just larger ants.
Ulysses stood on Richard’s shoulder, his eyes sparkling as he watched the eye of the storm in the distance. There, two formidable figures were slowly emerging.
"Richard, watch carefully. Such a level of combat is rare.
Those two big shots are about to start their final showdown."
