The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 179 The Great Black Tide

Looking at the black line approaching him in the distance, Richard couldn't help but feel a headache.

If he ate these dozens of black knights, it would definitely be a big boost to his strength. But these dozens of black knights were too strong, and if he forced himself to eat them, he would probably choke to death.

"Ulysses, I remember you said that these black knights would hunt down nightmare creatures. Are they interested in foreign souls like me?" Richard asked with his head tilted.

"Gah, I haven't really thought about this. You can give it a try."

Richard turned his head and looked at the black knights. These black knights were like a black tide, charging with unstoppable force. The lances in their hands seemed to be able to penetrate any food that stood in their way.

In addition, they also exuded wisps of nightmare power. These nightmare powers intertwined and merged with each other, turning into chains that connected dozens of black knights together.

Richard speculated that these chains should be able to balance the injuries among the black knights. If he could not kill a black knight with one blow, his injuries would be evenly divided among dozens of black knights.

"No wonder Puppet Billy said I was lucky. When these black knights charge, they are indeed different from usual."

Richard watched the Black Knight muttering to himself, and the nightmare power in his body began to quickly transform into nightmare crystals.

There is no special method required to make nightmare crystals. Any nightmare creature can learn it after seeing nightmare crystals.

Richard collected these nightmare crystals into a magic pocket condensed by nightmare power, and then Richard's soul left the nightmare body, leaving only a nightmare body with nightmare power standing there.

The Nightmare Body was not difficult to make, so even if it was lost it would not be a big deal for Richard.

Richard hid aside and watched the Black Knight charge towards the Nightmare Body quietly. In the process, as an observer, Richard gained insight into a lot of new information.

For example, there should be a special law among these black knights.

During the charge of these black knights, the nightmare power in their bodies did not change except for being linked. If it was a normal situation, then no matter how much the black knight charged, he would only be a level one creature.

It is impossible to make level 2 and 3 creatures avoid its edge.

But the changes in the Black Knights are real, and their lethality does increase as they charge.

At the tips of their guns, Richard smelled death.

"The nightmare world is really amazing." Richard exclaimed.

As the Black Knight approached, the nightmare body that remained in place was turned into ashes by the Black Knight's spear. The Black Knight was not attracted by Richard next to him at all.

"It seems that these black knights only hunt down nightmare creatures and are not interested in foreign souls like me." Richard looked at the black knights with a fiery look in his eyes.

"If that's the case, then that's where it can be done."

After saying that, Richard took out the nightmare crystal and casually created a nightmare body. Richard did not add the black powder to this nightmare body, but as a bait, this nightmare body was enough.

The black knight who killed the nightmare body immediately turned his attack around after the new nightmare body appeared, while Richard calmly set up a magic circle under the feet of the nightmare body.

Because of the existence of nightmare power, Richard didn't have to worry about the consumption of materials at all, and soon a simple magic circle trap was completed.

Richard left the nightmare body and flew to the side to continue observing.

The black knight rushed to the nightmare body and instantly turned it into ashes, triggering Richard's magic circle trap.

In an instant, several golden spears shot out from the ground and instantly pierced the two black knights.

After all, these black knights are only level one. Under the unreasonable weapon like the platinum spear, their body defense is as weak as paper.

Although there were no enchantments on the adamantine spears, the sharp and hard spear bodies still caused fatal damage to the Black Knights, so much so that even their life chains could not save their lives.

The nightmare horses under their crotch instantly dissipated, and their bodies fell to the ground, and began to emanate black nightmare power.

"The plan works, Ulises, we're going to make a big profit this time."

……

Richard followed the same method and killed all the black knights in the wilderness.

Richard piled up the bodies of the black knights, and then devoured them all while enduring the nauseating feeling as if he was drinking slop.

This was not because Richard had any special hobbies, but because these corpses could not be put into the magic pocket for some unknown reason. And it took a long time for Richard to compile a nightmare body with a core.

During this process, Richard could only watch and the nightmare power in the Black Knight enter the earth.

This result was obviously difficult for Richard to accept.

So for the power of nightmares, Richard decided to make himself suffer.

Isn’t it just unpalatable? How can you become a great wizard if you can’t endure this little bit of hardship... Ugh!

After a long and painful period, Richard finally devoured all the black knights.

These black knights provided Richard with nearly 300,000 nightmare powers in total. These nightmare powers plus Richard's original nightmare powers were enough to elevate Richard to the limit of a first-level nightmare creature.

Richard felt the nightmare power in his body, and said with some joy:
"A great harvest, a great harvest. Now I can extract some soul essence and boost my spiritual power."

But just as Richard was rejoicing, a subtle wave suddenly swept through his soul.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Look towards the location where the wave comes from and adjust your field of vision to an energy field of vision.

In an instant, black and red veins appeared before Richard's eyes.

These black and red energy light paths passed through the thick strata and entered Richard's field of vision like blood vessels.

The whole land seemed to be the skin of some gigantic creature.

rumbling...

A subtle rumble reached Richard's ears. The sound was like thunder, but a little fragmented. Richard listened carefully for a while and found that the rumble was actually a resonance formed by thousands of small sounds combined together.

And those tiny sounds seemed to be... the sound of horse hooves!

Richard looked up at the sky and cast an Eagle Eye spell on himself.

I saw a black sky curtain moving towards the direction of Ahmad's territory, and under that sky curtain were black knights like a tide.

"The big black tide is coming." Richard muttered to himself.

……

When Richard returned to the territory, all the nightmare spirits in the territory were trembling in the corners.

These nightmare spirits did not have Richard's perception, but intuitively they could feel that a terrible disaster was approaching.

As Richard's subordinate, Bones still patrolled the village diligently even though his body was shaking constantly.

"Boss, you're back!"

When Bones saw Richard coming back, his expression instantly became excited.

Having a boss at this time is like having a backbone.

Richard looked at the nightmare spirit and hesitated about how to deal with it.

The nightmare world can produce an endless supply of soul essence, which makes Richard not want to simply escape from the nightmare world.

He wanted to leave a force in the nightmare world to collect nightmare power, so that he could enter the nightmare world again to refine soul essence in the future.

But the nightmare world and the material world are not in the same dimension, and the connection between the soul seed and the soul is expected to be weakened.

By then, it would be a question whether Richard's nightmare body would be able to move.

So he was considering whether he should cultivate this seemingly loyal nightmare spirit in front of him as his force to remain in the nightmare world.

"Bones, the black tide is coming." Richard looked at Bones and said lightly.

"Ah, Boss! What shall we do?"

When Bone heard about the Great Black Tide, his expression instantly became panicked. The terrifying impression left by the Black Knight made him unable to muster the slightest desire to resist.

"Bones, don't panic, don't be scared, these emotions won't make things better."

Richard's voice was very calm, and this calmness calmed Bone's emotions.

He looked at Richard with determined eyes, wanting to hear what his boss's plans were.

"Boss, I listen to you. I'll do whatever you say."

Richard nodded, "That's good. I do have something I need you to do."

As he spoke, Richard took out his magic pocket and poured out a pile of nightmare crystals.

"You are too weak now. Swallow these nightmare crystals, and I will tell you what you are going to do."

Bone looked at the nightmare crystal in front of him and felt as if he had entered someone's dream.

These...are all for him! ?
Bones looked at Richard, and after confirming that these were really for him, he almost collapsed to the ground.

He felt that he had hit the jackpot.

Otherwise, how could he meet such a generous boss.

The bone bowed towards Richard, and then devoured the nightmare crystals on the ground in big mouthfuls.

During this process, Richard used energy vision to carefully observe the changes in the bones.

As a native nightmare creature, Bone's evolutionary process may be somewhat different from his.

As the bones devoured the nightmare crystals, Richard suddenly felt a nightmare force entering his body.

This is the effect of naming.

The bones quickly devoured all the nightmare crystals on the ground. The huge nightmare power rampaged in his body. Through the connection brought by the given name, Richard could clearly feel the pain of the bones, as well as a fanaticism that came from nowhere.

"I have finally survived to this day and have met a generous boss. The boss has given me so much nightmare power and he is also going to give me a big task. How can I die?

I must not die!"

The bones in pain kept shouting in his heart that as a wild nightmare spirit, he had barely survived to this day.

Now that Richard has given him the opportunity to grow, he must survive.

Both for himself and for Richard.

Soon, new branches appeared in the energy cycle, followed by evolution.

The skeletal image of Bones began to change shape, a black robe appeared on Bones, looking like a replica of Richard, but the difference was that underneath the robe, Bones had grown a layer of black armor.

Looks the same as the Black Knight.

The entire process of bone evolution is almost the same as Richard's, which makes Richard more certain that his nightmare body is a nightmare creature.

"Boss, I have evolved. You can give me tasks now!"

The evolved bone half-knelt in front of Richard and asked respectfully.
