The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 184 Return, Second Ring Wizard!
In the official residence, Richard looked at the basement in horror, then ran out of the residence without looking back.

He didn't know what Suiza had opened, but he was sure that it was definitely not something he could touch.

Just by coming into contact with a trace of that thing's breath, Richard had a series of horrifying hallucinations before his eyes. Even after activating the Badge of Courage, these hallucinations continued to flash before Richard's eyes, as if to destroy his sanity and drag him into the quagmire of panic.

"Get out of here!" Richard shouted angrily.

He tried to calm himself down and think about his next move.

Richard's clone on the battlefield had already seen Ahmad rushing back to the mansion. If he didn't think of a way to escape quickly, he would probably be killed by the angry Ahmad with a single sword.

Richard didn't think that Suisa would protect him. Any wizard who could reach the third ring was a veteran of battles, and any wizard who could survive had a heart of stone.

If Richard could attract Ahmad's firepower and give him a better chance of escaping safely, he would do so without hesitation.

Regardless of whether wizards are black or white, they all end up in the same place in the end. At most, white wizards look more like humans on the surface.

When he arrived outside the official residence, Richard could already vaguely feel Ahmad's terrifying aura.

He looked at the nightmare spirits running all over the streets, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

How to hide a forest of trees without being discovered?
The answer is to place it in a forest.

Richard's body was continuously discharged with nightmare crystals, and his aura was also decreasing. In just a few tens of seconds, thousands of nightmare crystals appeared around Richard, and he himself turned into a short nightmare spirit.

This is the most amazing thing about nightmare creatures. They grow by absorbing nightmare power, and will degenerate due to the lack of nightmare power.

Richard, who turned into a nightmare spirit, put the nightmare crystal into his pocket, and then blended into a group of nightmare spirits.

Soon, Ahmad, riding a black dragon, arrived at the mansion and happened to meet Suisa who came out of the mansion and Amanda who was about to escape.

"Wizard! You moved something you shouldn't!"

Ahmad held the magic sword in his hand, as powerful as a demon god. As he spoke, the space seemed to vibrate, sending out ripples.

Suisa felt a headache when she saw Ahmad arriving in time.

He is different from the group of young wizards in the Dream Walker Club. After he entered the nightmare world in the last decade, he has never left the nightmare world, so he knows much more about nightmare creatures than Richard and his gang of wizards.

Although these nightmare creatures looked stupid, like natives with special talents, once they reached level three and had a deeper understanding of nightmare rules, their combat effectiveness would increase dramatically.

All kinds of strange and bizarre means are hard to guard against under the blessing of nightmare rules.

But it was too late to say this now, Ahmad arrived back in time, and a battle was inevitable.

"Ahmad, it's amazing that you can hold back." Suisa took out the object sealed in the coffin - a piece of flesh of some unknown creature.

"You can resist eating the flesh of a Nightmare King. You are totally unlike those idiots."

When Ahmad saw him take out the fragment, his aura suddenly moved, and the magic sword covered with eyes passed through the space and instantly appeared in front of Suisa.

The battle has begun.

……

While Ahmad and Suiza were fighting, Richard, who had transformed into a nightmare spirit, had quietly reached the outer city.

Richard had no intention of watching the battle between these two powerful men. He just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible to avoid being affected by their fight.

On this side of the battlefield, although the commander of the Black Knights died, Ahmad also left.

This is equivalent to neither side having a commander.

"Don't look so sad, at least the enemy commander is dead." Richard comforted the puppet Billy, "And now that Lord Amade is gone, we soldiers can naturally retreat.

Ahmad sahib will forgive us."

"Leave?" Puppet Billy shook his head. "What will happen to our territory if we leave? What will happen to the nightmare spirits we cultivated?
A skilled Nightmare Spirit can provide us with a stream of nightmare power in one night. If they die, we have to start from scratch.

But Lord Ahmad will not wait until we are trained before collecting taxes!"

The puppet Billy turned his head and looked at the black knight rushing into the swamp, with a determined look in his eyes.

"Black Robe Charlie, you can go. You are just a subordinate, and your territory is not precious. Your survival is the greatest victory. But I am different. My territory cannot be destroyed by these black knights.

The territory I have managed for more than 300 years must not be destroyed by these black bastards!"

Richard looked at the puppet Billy and suddenly realized that nightmare creatures are also living things.

These nightmare creatures also have their own preferences and beliefs. Perhaps the main reason why Golem Billy stayed on the battlefield was to be able to pay taxes in the future and not degenerate back into a nightmare spirit.

But within this determination, perhaps there really is a will to protect the territory.

"Billy the Doll, can you give me one of your killer dolls?" Richard suddenly asked.

"Huh? Why do you suddenly want this thing?" Puppet Billy was a little confused.

"Nothing." Richard said calmly, "Just a souvenir. I plan to go to other territories."

The puppet Billy looked at Richard with some surprise, but then sighed slightly.

"You are indeed lucky."

After that, a half-human-sized killer puppet emerged from the body of the puppet Billy and came to Richard's side obediently.

Richard put it in his pocket and left the battlefield without looking back.

He already had enough nightmare power, so there was no need to fight to the death with these black knights. Although he had ten soul seeds, before he became a great wizard, one less soul seed would be enough. …

A few days later, in the wilderness, Richard's two clones returned to Richard's side and transformed into nightmare forces again.

Richard divided the nightmare power into several parts and began to refine it with his mental strength.

Richard's mental strength was originally 90, but after taking soul essence several times, it reached 99.9. To go any higher, he would need a large amount of soul essence.

"Wow, that's great. Give me some after you finish refining it." Ulysses looked at the soul essence in Richard's hand and drooled.

"I'll share it with you?" Richard glanced at him, "Can a soul projection like you eat soul essence?"

Ulises was stunned when he heard this, and then he jumped up and down angrily and said:

"Gah, why can't the soul projection devour the soul essence! ***** (Gods' foul language)"

Although meditation is not possible in the nightmare world, Richard's mental strength recovers quickly due to efficient sleep.

In the wilderness, Richard spent more than a month refining the soul essence he needed. Looking at the remaining nightmare power, Richard took the dagger from the killer puppet, and then took out three similar daggers from his pocket.

[Materials: Killing Puppet's Dagger (×3)]

[Extractable rules: Nightmare rules (extremely incomplete)]

[Refining consumption: 6 mental power]

Due to the appearance of Ahmad, Richard's clone that turned into a nightmare spirit moved very slowly. By the time he returned to Richard, all the nightmare creations obtained in the official residence had turned into nightmare power, and the nightmare rules naturally disappeared.

So all Richard had left was the dagger he got from the puppet Billy and the nightmare rules.

"refining."

As the soul power faded, a black ball of light appeared on the furnace. Richard merged it into his body. The next moment, he felt as if he was marked by something.

Then, Richard felt an unprecedented comfort.

In this nightmare world, Richard actually felt like he had returned to the wizarding world.

However, the nightmare rules did not give Richard any special abilities. I don’t know if it was because there were too few rules or for some other reason.

After refining the rules, Richard took out the forerunner creation from his magic pocket.

[Raw materials: Broken forerunner creations]

[Information that can be extracted: Dream World Communication Technology (moderately incomplete)]

[Refining Consumption: 50 Mental Power]

[Information that can be extracted: Nightmare Crystal Production Technology]

[Refining consumption: 200 mental power]

Looking at the astonishing consumption of extracting information, Richard couldn't help but gasp.

It turns out that complete pioneer technology is not so easy to refine.

But at the same time, Richard had a doubt in his mind.

The traces of the Forerunner civilization are so widespread that their traces can be found from the wizarding world to the hive world, and to the nightmare world of another dimension.

Even the communication technology they left behind required Richard to become a three-ring wizard in order to refine it.

What kind of disaster did such a powerful civilization experience to disappear in the long river of history?

Suddenly, an unknown fear descended upon Richard's heart. The fear was not big, but it was like a vine that entangled Richard's heart and could not be eradicated.

Richard took a deep breath and refined the dream world communication technology.

Now that he was about to leave the nightmare world, he certainly couldn't take the device with him, so he could only leave it to Bones as a backup.

Through the connection between the given names, Richard spent half a month to find the bones walking in the wilderness and asked Ulysses to hand over the device to him.

"Gah, kid, keep this thing. Your master is seriously injured now. Although he doesn't need to be resurrected for the time being, he needs to sleep for a while. During this time of sleep, you should stay alive and improve your strength."

After Ulysses finished speaking, he gave the crystal creation of the Forerunner, along with some nightmare crystals that Richard didn't need and the murderous puppet without a dagger, to Bones.

Bones looked at Richard's supplies, with a hint of surprise and determination in his eyes.

Afterwards, Richard swallowed the soul essence, and his soul instantly left the nightmare world and came to a dark and empty space.

To break through to the second-ring wizard level, one does not need certification from the origin of the wizarding world. As long as one meets the requirements, one can break through anywhere.

"The Darkness of the Soul... Such a familiar place."

Fifty years later, Richard's body in the secret realm began to change, and the magic power of the entire secret realm began to flow into Richard's body.

The transformation begins.

Three months later, Richard opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.

"I, Hu Hansan, am back!"
