I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Chapter 282: Chapter 203: The Magician Who Can Perform Magic

Roar!

The hunchbacked figure that looked like a leader howled.

The dozen or so Moonless Folk around it became restless, starting to look around warily.

Whiz, whiz, whiz!

Several playing cards shot out from the mist, hitting a few of the Moonless Folk around the perimeter. They screamed as they fell to the ground, the cards sticking in their bodies, and blood gushed out.

The leader’s Insight Attribute was evidently higher, and it seemed to have noticed something amiss. It raised the cane in its hands toward the fog ahead.

Crackle!

The black Crystal Stone once again emitted red lightning, a twisting beam of red light shot towards the mist.

Just then, a figure emerged from the fog.

He casually raised his palm and caught the red lightning strike.

Crack!

His fingers clenched as if he burst the lightning, the tiny red arcs dancing between his fingers before dissipating.

Chen Lun opened his hand to take a glance, and there wasn’t a single mark on his palm.

‘The defensive power of the Didak Armor… it’s indeed terrifying,’ he thought to himself.

By this time, he had already activated “Standard Mode,” with two thick snake tendrils standing behind him, aimed at the encircling, spear-wielding Moonless Folk ahead.

“All of you die.”

Chen Lun muttered softly.

In the next second, he stepped into the enemy ranks with a burst of speed and unleashed a round of slaughter.

Boom!

He threw a punch, and the two snake tendrils moved with it. The triple attack stacked together and heavily struck the head of one Moonless Folk, exploding it instantly.@@novelbin@@

Boom!

Before the headless corpse fell, he kicked another Moonless Folk’s body, breaking it apart.

The two snake tendrils acted like two additional arms, each moving independently, either lashing or wrapping… In just a few seconds, he had killed half of the group of Moonless Folk.

But at this moment, Chen Lun suddenly stopped.

‘Too weak, not enough to be a test… I’ll try again after they transform,’ he thought.

The leader, cowering in the back, suddenly generated two bolts of red lightning with its cane and struck at him, but Chen Lun scattered them with a wave of his hand.

Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, the leader was also very angry and let out a long howl to the sky.

Howl!!

The next second, the remaining Moonless Folk followed the leader’s angry howl. Their bodies began to inflate and grow like balloons. With ripping sounds, their shabby and dirty robes tore apart, and they transformed into three-meter-tall werewolves!

Even the leader began to transform into a werewolf, but it was only two meters tall, quite short in comparison to the other werewolves. It cunningly wielded its cane, skirting the edge of the battlefield, seemingly planning to launch red lightning sneak attacks.

“That’s more like it…”

Chen Lun showed a smile, then muttered:

“Extreme Mode.”

Howl!

The werewolves swarmed in from all sides, their long spears raised high. The sharp black Crystal Stone spearheads aimed at Chen Lun.

The man stood still, not taking a single step.

He didn’t even look like a human at this point, his entire body covered in white armor, with two pairs of pale wings unfolded behind him. Dark red blood energy swirled around him like a violent wind.

His overwhelming presence dominated the scene!

Any werewolf that came close withered and decayed, their flesh and bones dissolving instantly; they fell one by one, without exception.

Chen Lun had not even made a move, and he had easily annihilated this wave of polluted creatures.

He blinked, watching the scene in silence, even he was shocked.

It was over in just a few breaths.

The only ones left in the clearing were Chen Lun and the werewolf leader, standing in a standoff.

The large werewolf carcasses lay scattered around, disintegrating and vanishing.

Seeing its companions dead, the werewolf leader showed no fear but roared even more fiercely, raising its cane to unleash red lightning.

Crackle!

The two bolts of red lightning flew toward him, but Chen Lun nonchalantly closed his eyes.

With a snap, the lightning struck his face, and after the red arcs danced for a moment, he opened his eyes as if nothing had happened.

“Too weak, too weak…”

Chen Lun shook his head.

The next second, his pale wings trembled, and he disappeared from the spot.

The werewolf leader was momentarily stunned, and then five shiny black fingers were already pressed on its head. With a flick and a rip, hot blood sprayed out.

Its head was torn off by Chen Lun with brute force!

Thud!

The headless werewolf leader kneeled down, then collapsed powerlessly.

Chen Lun exited Extreme Mode and casually tossed the wolf’s head, staring blankly at his own hands.

‘This power…’

Chen Lun turned his head to look around. The corpses of the Moonless Folk had dissolved to nothing, leaving only the supernatural materials and the black Crystal Stones that had been used as spearheads on the ground.

His gaze was profound.

‘How strong am I in Extreme Mode?’

Chen Lun himself didn’t know the answer.

The fight had ended too quickly; he hadn’t even utilized a tenth of his power, and all the enemies were already slain.

‘What a pity…’

Chen Lun sighed.

He collected the supernatural materials from the ground and then bent down to pick up a sharp black Crystal Stone.

[Supernatural Object – Dragon Sharpstone]

Item description: A Crystal Stone mined from the dark plains of the Dream Realm’s underground mines, containing the power of lightning and corrosion.

Chen Lun’s eyebrows rose slightly.

“There are mining tunnels beneath this black plain…?”

He noted this information down.

“These materials, if showed to Floey, might be used to create some Mysterious Objects.”

He then exited the Immortal Realm.

After returning to the present world, another week passed by.

Chen Lun was reading a book in the courtyard of Jack’s estate.

He leaned against a lounge chair, leisurely reading through a Mystic Book under a large pale yellow parasol. On the round wooden table beside him, there were a few unfinished books, as well as pastries and brewed black tea handmade by Floey.

After a while.

Chen Lun closed the book in his hand, placed it on the round table, and took a sip of the black tea.

“Hmm, Floey knows my taste is the same as hers, with not a hint of sugar in the tea… This is completely different from most local nobles, who would probably find it harder to drink unsweetened tea than to eat dung.”

He mused to himself, put down the teacup, and picked up another Mystic Book from the Magic Faction.

Over the week, he had almost finished reading the thirty-two Mystic Books, with only the last two from the Magic Faction left.

Combined with the Experience Points he had gained from hunting in the Immortal Realm, he had risen by 2 Levels, bringing his Total Level to 78.

“I’ll be at Max Level soon…”

Chen Lun felt pleased and began to read the Mystic Book.

It was tranquil all around, with only the faint chirping of cicadas, the rustling breeze swaying the shadows of trees and the scent of flowers, which was soothing to the soul.

Hours passed in this manner.

[You have read a Mystic Book from the Magic Faction!]

[“The Basic Principles and Analysis of Material Transformation” (Progress 55%)]

[Through careful reading, you have gained 255 Experience Points!]

[Through careful reading, you have gained an insight, and comprehended the skill “Transformation Magic”!]

[Transformation Magic LV1]

Skill Description: Years as a magician have given you a certain understanding of magic. After colliding with knowledge, you have taught yourself this profound and interesting magic.

Wouldn’t it be fun to turn people into animals?

This is both a magic trick and magic.

Skill Effect: You can transform yourself or others, or even inanimate objects into animals, subject to a weight judgment, requiring a stick-shaped object as a ritual prop. (Success rate and duration are affected by Intelligence)

Chen Lun immediately sat up from the lounge chair.

“I’ve actually gained a skill from the Supernatural Knowledge of the Magic Faction…?!”

He looked somewhat astonished.

“I once gained the Passive Skill ‘Survival of the Fittest’ from the Supernatural Knowledge of the Nature Faction, and it was later indeed confirmed according to the Law of Supernatural Fusion that the Destiny Faction and Nature Faction are adjacent Sequences… Could it be that the Magic Faction is also adjacent?”

Chen Lun fell into deep thought.

After a while.

“It must be correct, only adjacent Sequences intersect… otherwise, I couldn’t have gained this ‘Transformation Magic’!”

He put down the book, took a deep breath, and murmured:

“Destiny, Nature, and Magic…”

Chen Lun immediately brought up his panel, glanced at his Skill Points which stood at 29, and lavishly spent 4 Points to max out “Transformation Magic”.

With a flick of his hand, a Silver Staff appeared in his grasp, and he aimed it at the teacup on the round table.

“Transform.”

Pop!

A quiet puff, and white smoke exploded, leaving an orange, chubby cat on the round table.

This was the animal Chen Lun wanted to transform into.

However, it seemed that the orange cat had no thoughts and remained motionless like a specimen.

‘So inanimate objects can also transform, but they don’t move…’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He tried to communicate with the chubby cat using “Beast Speech,” but there was no response as expected; it was merely an illusion and incapable of motion.

Chen Lun somewhat regretfully canceled the transformation, and the chubby cat returned to the form of a teacup.

‘This skill could perhaps serve as a control skill…? On some specific occasions, it may also have remarkable effects.’

He turned his head and looked forward to the last Mystic Book of the Magic Faction.

Several hours later.

Evening twilight.

“Another skill!”

Chen Lun excitedly snapped the book closed.

[You have read a Mystic Book from the Magic Faction!]

[Through careful reading, you have gained an insight, and comprehended the skill “Animal Magic Transcription”!]

[Animal Magic Transcription LV1]

Skill Description: Your past as a Beast Tamer has allowed you to gain a certain understanding of magic, and after colliding with knowledge, you have taught yourself how to transcribe the mimicked powers of animals.

The distinctive powers of animals stored on a scroll, ready to be activated upon need.

Skill Effect: You can transcribe some of your Supernatural Power from being a “Beast Tamer” onto a scroll through magic transcription. (Effects and duration are influenced by Intelligence)

Without hesitation, Chen Lun again used 4 Skill Points to level this skill to Max Level, then rose from the lounge chair and, with a wave of his hand, gathered the books from the round table into his Blood Poem Ring.

He hastily turned and headed towards the villa, went straight upstairs, and returned to his room.

Seated at the desk by the window, Chen Lun took out some materials required for Mystery Studies, including ink made from the blood of Supernatural Creatures mixed with some Supernatural materials, parchment, gold powder, and other Supernatural materials.

He picked up a pen, filled it with ink, and began writing on the parchment.

After a moment.

A parchment filled with text and ritual patterns lay quietly on the desk.

Chen Lun capped the pen and exhaled deeply.

This was the only scroll he could record for the time being.
