Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Wealth Overpowers

Black Scale Giant was none other than Richard; at this moment, he had restored his magic power to its full extent, and the injuries on his arm had healed enough to be usable.

Hiss-slash!

The great sword, ablaze with black flames, tore through a Puppet Apprentice’s magic barrier, and the Greedy Demon Flame instantaneously drained the apprentice’s magic power.

These mind-controlled apprentices’ magic power was already depleted, and a mere touch of the Greedy Demon Flame was enough to extinguish it completely.

While these apprentices did not have much magic power, there were more than a dozen of them. The blind-eyed apprentice saw Richard eliminate one with a single sword strike and immediately commanded all the apprentices to press forward.

To him, these apprentices were nothing but cannon fodder, their numbers mattered not to him.

As long as he could buy enough time, the marks on these apprentices would ultimately belong to him.

Richard swung his great sword horizontally, slicing an apprentice who had activated his Bloodline and transformed into a Great Gorilla clean at the waist. Before he could even retract his sword, another apprentice lunged at him, while spells from other apprentices followed in rapid succession.

These apprentices, with their minds completely controlled, attacked recklessly without any fear of death, paying no heed to whether their companions would be caught in the spell’s effects.

Buzz!

The Guardian Pendant was activated.

Spells rippled across the Magic Shield; although the apprentices’ spells had some improvements, they were far from breaking through Richard’s Magic Shield.

And Richard, seizing this opportunity, advanced on the group of apprentices amid the barrage of spells.

Sizzle…

As Richard charged into the midst of the apprentices, it was like a wolf amongst sheep. These low-level, controlled apprentices had no chance to fight back, and the high temperature of the black flames turned their wounds into charred flesh instantly, with a strange, acrid scent filling the air.

But just at that moment, the blind-eyed Wizard let out a mad laugh, and a chilling presence suddenly radiated from his body.

“Heh heh, it’s done.”

This was a presence no human could emit, not even someone who had engaged in Bloodline Alchemy would meld with such a bloodline.

It was an extremely evil presence, as if harboring the vilest of ill wills toward all life.

Richard shuddered. He recognized the transformation in the apprentice before him.

“You’ve actually formed a pact with the Mad Wanderers of the Star Realm!” Richard said solemnly.

“Oh?”

The blind-eyed apprentice was somewhat surprised; such methods were extremely rare, and even among Wizards few could recognize them.

“Some insight, indeed.”

The Star Realm contained not only worlds but also various creatures within them, such as Star Realm whales as large as mountains and the nomadic Star Realm wanderers who made their homes on ships. Among these creatures, the most terrifying were the Mad Wanderers born from the carcasses of worlds.

From the moment of their birth, these Star Realm creatures harbored immense malice towards the living, crazily slaughtering every creature they encountered.

These Mad Wanderers varied in strength, and once Wizards discovered them, they coveted the power they possessed. Among these, the Soul Wizards needed the Mad Wanderers’ contamination of spiritual power.

Such contamination could swiftly disintegrate mental barriers.

“Don’t worry, the effects of the spell will be swift,” the blind-eyed apprentice said with a grotesque smile, as a soul tentacle, filled with extreme malice, streaked towards Richard’s head.

Bang bang!

Within Richard’s spiritual perception, two barriers from the Mind Protection Ring shattered instantly, amplifying the blind-eyed apprentice’s crazed smile.

“It’s over!”

“Yes, it’s over.”

Richard looked at him coolly, his hand glowing with the light of another ring.

He wasn’t equipped with merely two Mind Protection Rings.

Bang!

The third layer of mental barrier shattered with a resounding sound, a twinge of pain shooting through Richard’s head, but at this moment, the soul tentacle no longer had the strength to shake Richard’s mind.

“Three… rings…”

The blind apprentice stared vacantly at the rings on Richard’s hand, a trickle of fresh blood running from the corner of his mouth.

Richard pulled the Black Sword out of his chest, and then with a punch, he smashed the apprentice’s head to pieces.

“Wuni, come down for food!”

Out in the world, reputation is everything. If I say I’m going to feed you to Wuni, then you’re going to be fed to Wuni.

On the other side of the dense forest, two Shaping Wizards were engaged in a fierce duel.

The confrontation between Shaping Wizards was straightforward; they competed in two areas, one was Spell power and the other was the amount of Magic Power.

If one side held the advantage in both areas, victory was almost certain. If each side dominated one point, then it would come down to their individual performance.

A Fire Crow flew towards him, and Holder elegantly waved his Magic Wand, an Ice Cone effortlessly intercepted the crow, and the prematurely detonated Spell was easily blocked by his Magic Barrier without raising a ripple.

Compared to Holder’s elegance, Ali found herself in a more desperate state.

Besieged by an Advanced Apprentice level Flame Giant, her Magic Armor was showing extensive damage. If not for her plentiful supply of Magic Stones and her extensively modified Magic Barrier, she would have likely become a charred corpse by now.

Holder strolled leisurely across the battlefield, unhurried to end the fight.

Susanna’s Curse Flame always made Holder wary, so he preferred to take his time and whittle Ali down little by little with the Flame Giant.

Boom!

Ali launched another Fireball Technique, momentarily forcing the Flame Giant back. She leaned on her Magic Wand, feeling a touch dizzy.

Using Spells in quick succession had drained a significant amount of her spiritual power, risking misfires if continued.

“I wonder how Richard is doing,” Ali worried, but then she scoffed at her own predicament.

She should be more concerned about herself at a time like this.

Ali stood weakly upright, sweat soaking her back from the intense heat of the Flame Giant.

She knew what Holder feared.

Her teacher, Susanna, had taught her the Spell known as Curse Flame long ago, but Ali seldom used it unless in dire straits.

Because it was not Magic Power but the power of the Soul that the Spell consumed. Each use led to a permanent reduction in her spiritual power.

But now, Ali could not afford such concerns.

Taking out a Magic Stone, she recited ancient Spells, and Holder, seeing this from a distance, immediately dodged to the side.

A pale purple flame appeared on Ali’s fingertips. Though small, it caused the previously fearsome Flame Giant to retreat. No matter how Holder commanded it to advance, it refused to move an inch.

Within this flame, it sensed the fear of death.

Feeling her Soul’s energy depleting, Ali gave a wry smile and then attempted to bypass the Giant, charging straight towards Holder.

Such a powerful move would be wasted on the Flame Giant.

But at that moment, a figure burst from the woods, halting Ali.

“Don’t be hasty, Ali. Things haven’t reached that point yet.”

Holder turned towards the emerging Black Scale Giant; the giant stood over two meters tall, covered in black scales with robust Magic Fluctuations, clearly an Intermediate Bloodline Alchemy Apprentice.

“So, it’s just a savage with Bloodline Alchemy,” mocked Holder with a sneer, then commanded the Flame Giant to attack Richard.

If he liked hand-to-hand combat, then let him brawl with the Flame Giant.

The Flame Giant moved towards Richard, who, far from panicked, simply unhooked his Magic Bag from his waist.

He sent a Spiritual Message to the Giant.

“Flame Giant, I want to make a deal with you. I offer double the Magic Stones of that apprentice to contract with you!”

At the same time, Richard turned the bag upside down, and a stream of Magic Stones poured out.
