Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 89 The Power of Shadow Beasts
The towering stone peaks resemble fearless soldiers, densely packed throughout the vast arena, like a giant chessboard.

The granite stone forest looks somewhat similar to karst landforms, but it is not a water-eroded landform.

Because granite is mainly composed of silicon dioxide, it is not strongly affected by the erosion of flowing water and weathering; only hard glaciers can easily cut it apart.

For this reason, this granite landscape, whether cut out or imitated, also has several straight and flat roads.

Yaro and Kenan Nabi stood facing each other on one of the straight roads.

The wind and sand blew, and the fine pebbles rustled.

Yaro narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Kenan Nabi a hundred meters away, and gripped the hilt of the knight's longsword with one hand.

"With shadow magic and summons disabled, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

Yaro bluntly voiced his doubts.

"Having enrolled halfway through your studies, you haven't had a complete wizarding initiation, have you? Today, I'll teach you an important piece of knowledge for free," Kenan Nabi said calmly, "Knowledge can leverage power!"

Can knowledge unleash power?

Yaro raised an eyebrow slightly.

How could he, born into a wizarding family, not know this principle?

The key is how to leverage it, not just talk about it.

Looking at Kenan Nabi, who was neither too close nor too far, Yaro once again felt his lack of skill. If he had a few ranged attack techniques, he could test what Kenan Nabi was relying on.

'Soon. Once I solve the immediate problem, I'll soon have time to learn new tricks, including further research into alchemy, which will also add to my ranged attack capabilities.'

Thinking this, Yaro feigned sarcasm and provoked him, "That sounds nice, but show me how you can pry it up?"

The two were now more than 100 meters apart. At such a distance, even an attack from his own grandfather could have been easily avoided by Yaro before he had leveled up his skills.

Not to mention that at this point, Yaro's reflexes were approaching twenty, meaning he could easily provoke Knan Nabi with words. Regardless of Knan Nabi's attack methods, Yaro was confident he could dodge them and also use the opportunity to see through Knan Nabi's tactics.

"Yes, you'll see soon."

Kenan Nabi took something out of his pocket, but because of the obstruction of his hand and the distance of more than a hundred meters, Yaro could not see what the object was.

'What could it be? Judging from his confident demeanor, could it be... some kind of secret weapon?'

Aroton found the situation troublesome, but dragging it out like this wasn't a solution. Besides, wizards had many tricks up their sleeves, and it was hard to say whether he had some techniques that were gradually building up in power.

If we wait, perhaps the final result will be a devastating attack.

Can't wait any longer!
Having weighed the pros and cons, Yaro didn't delay any longer and slipped away towards the rocky peak to the side.

This is why Yarrow chose the granite stone forest.

The granite is straight and vertical, offering little shade and making it unsuitable for creating shadow effects.

This straight, densely packed stone forest also made it easy for Yaluo to dodge and climb.

Furthermore, granite has a single property and is hard, making it immune to explosive damage and highly resistant to corrosive magic, making it the best shield for Aro to evade attacks.

For every point you gain, you weaken the enemy by one point, and the gap widens by two points.

Yaro, swiftly traversing the stone forest, remained tense, gripping his longsword tightly, not daring to relax for a moment. Relying on the stone forest to obscure his view, he silently approached Kenan Nabi.

'Come on, let me see what your hand is!'

Having determined that the distance was roughly the same, Yaro leaned against the stone peak to catch his breath, quickly activating the 'Knight's Breathing Technique'. His muscles tensed, his bones stretched like a taut bowstring, he gripped his longsword tightly, his mental energy radiated, and his magic flowed rapidly.

then……

"Instant Technique!"

Swift as thunder, fast as lightning!
instigate!
"The agility of a cat!"

"Shadow Beast Power!"

With a roar, Kenan Nabi's body suddenly swelled up, his skin turned dark, and his sharply defined muscles bulged out!

"What...is this? Isn't this a shadow magic spell? Why can he use it?"

Yaro was surprised but not afraid. Kenan Nabi's growth was indeed exaggerated, but he was unarmored and without armor. How could he possibly withstand the sharpness of a longsword with only his thin apprentice clothing?
Using the momentum of his charge, Adu narrowed his eyes and adjusted his grip on the knight's longsword.

"Advanced Skill - Thrust!"

Although Yaro was fast, Kenan Nabi was already about ten meters away from the mountain peak, which provided him with enough space to react.

A pair of large hands, like bear paws, swiftly slapped down.

boom!
Yaro's wrist went numb, and the longsword vibrated violently, as if it were about to slip from his hand.

'Such immense power! His strength attribute is definitely over 10 points right now, maybe even 15!'

A thought flashed through my mind!

The leather soles of the shoes scraped against the granite ground with a sharp, grating sound, small pebbles rolled around, and the body spun rapidly.

Using the opponent's force against them, Yaro immediately changed his tactics.

laugh!
"Advanced Skill - Uppercut!"

A flash of white light appeared on the longsword, which ruthlessly slashed towards Knan Nabi's neck!

bass!
As a strange sound rang out, a long gash was slashed open on Knan Nabi's dark chest.

Yaro's pupils constricted slightly.

The sides of the wound remained completely black, with no flesh or blood visible.

'No, this feels wrong!'

'His strange ability definitely increases his defensive capabilities!'

'His enlarged body is likely due to being enveloped by that dark energy!'

'Otherwise, such a deep wound couldn't be without blood and flesh!'

Just then, Kenan Nabi, his face contorted with malice, seized the opening left by Yaro's uppercut and delivered a vicious punch straight to Yaro's head.

"Die!"

Faced with such a powerful punch, Yaro almost burst out laughing!
isn't it?
Is your close-combat experience really that bad?
Anyone with a little experience knows that the skull is the most solid part of the human body, and the best place to attack to subdue a person is the jaw.

Yes, that's right.

Kenan Nabi was indeed very strong at this moment, but Yaro's head wasn't fixed in place!
Given the way Knan Nabi is using his power right now, if you throw a weak, hollow wooden ball at him, he can at most knock it away, but he won't be able to break it!
If Yaro were in Knan Nabi's position, his response would definitely not be a straight punch. He would take the opportunity to close the distance between them, and ideally, use his own strength advantage to pounce on the enemy and pin him to the ground!

However, Kenan Nabi's lack of close combat experience is precisely the best opportunity for Yaro!

"Sun Fist!"

"Humph!"

Knan Nabi grunted. His fist, which was not being used correctly to begin with, inexplicably deviated slightly due to his lack of sense of direction.

Yaro ducked slightly to avoid Knan Nabi's fist, then quickly took half a step to the left.

Grip the sword and gather your strength!

Knan Nabi, realizing his mistake after missing his punch, immediately lay down, covering his head with his hands and arching his back like a turtle, with dark shadows surging and covering his back.

"Advanced Skill - Slash!"

Target……

Knee joint in the leg!

"cut--!"

Click!

Bone and tendon snapped, blood splattered everywhere!
"what!"
