Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 100 First-Ring Sorcery: Aura of Fear (Please add to your favorites)

"monster!"

"The monster has broken in!"

"..."

At some unknown time, a panicked roar appeared inside the Dragon King Merchant Guild's headquarters.

Several merfolk scaled the courtyard wall and rushed into the camp.

Although he was quickly killed by the knights who rushed to the scene after hearing the commotion, he still caused quite a stir.

Moreover, more and more merfolk are appearing nearby, quietly gathering and beginning to storm the gates of the stronghold.

"Report!"

Someone rushed over:

"The Sea God Society's base has been confirmed to have fallen, and the Brotherhood of Scythes is also unable to hold out. Requesting reinforcements."

"Support?" Emma murmured.

"Even if we disregard the past, we can't even save our own people, so how can we support them?"

"Lura!"

"What do we do now?"

Although she thought her daughter was weak-willed and unlike the Dragon King Zimerman, she was very shrewd.

When problems arise, they are indeed more reliable in handling them than I am.

"Because of the fog, the situation in the city is not yet clear."

Lula's eyes showed a thoughtful expression:

"We don't know how many merfolk have come ashore, where they came from, why they attacked Free Port, or if there are any other alien species."

"but……"

"If the Sea God Society and the Brotherhood of Scythes can't stop us, we probably won't last much longer either."

She straightened up and said in a muffled voice:

"Have you made contact with the city lord's mansion? Why hasn't City Lord Sodan sent troops to suppress the rebellion?"

"Gather all our men. If we really can't hold out, then we'll retreat for now..."

"Freeport supplies nearly 70% of the seafood in the Grand Duchy of Ferdinand, and its importance is irreplaceable. He will never stand idly by."

"Send someone out of the city to inform the Duke of the situation here. Even if we cannot hold the garrison, as long as we hold out until reinforcements arrive, we can still retake Free Port."

At this moment, Lula displayed the aura of a leader of a force, and all arrangements were carried out in an orderly manner.

Her actions were impeccable.

"boom!"

A loud bang came from the west side of the camp, and the shouts and cries of surprise made the faces of the people in the area change.

They couldn't hold on that quickly?

They rushed out of the council hall, where the entire chamber of commerce was brightly lit under the glow of countless torches.

The stone wall on the west side had collapsed, and several thick, black tentacles were flailing wildly, entangling figures.

The tentacles were as thick as a person could encircle them; with a gentle twist, houses would collapse and the guild's guards would be easily swept away.

Even a knight would be no match for it.

"drink!"

Emma made the first move.

She rushed forward and stomped her feet on the ground. The ground beneath her feet writhed, and countless vines sprang out from it, wrapping around the tentacles.

"Splash..."

The gnarled, tangled vines covered the tentacles, then pulled downwards with a sharp jerk.

"boom!"

A terrifying monster was pulled out of the darkness.

"Squid...?"

"octopus?"

Everyone was stunned.

Neither squid nor octopus had ever seen such a terrifying size before.

Its enormous head resembles a small mountain, and its dozens of tentacles are like an open spider web, each one as thick as a tree trunk. When it dances, it looks like a group of giant snakes celebrating.

Its skin is a deep black, as if it can swallow the surrounding light, making it difficult to see its true appearance. Its body is covered with countless eyes of different sizes, like stars in the night sky, yet it also carries a chilling eeriness.

Those tentacles, each tens of meters long, were covered with sharp suckers. Each sucker was like a giant mouth full of sharp teeth, capable of easily tearing its prey to pieces.

When its true form comes into view, an indescribable sense of oppression and fear washes over you.

It was as if death had come; the guards of the Dragon King Merchant Guild scattered and fled, unable to mount any resistance.

"Whoosh..."

The tentacles rose up, unleashing tremendous power that shattered the vines, and Emma involuntarily leaned back, her face turning deathly pale.

"A legendary creature!"

Lula's eyes narrowed:

"Attack together!"

Before she could finish speaking, a figure beside her transformed into a wisp of smoke and shot towards the monster.

crow!

The Raven is not only a person's name, but also a superior-grade magic seal.

Superior-grade magic sign - Mist Raven!

The body can turn into smoke, gathering and dispersing at will, giving it a significant advantage against opponents of the same level.

Its only weakness is that its attack power is somewhat insufficient.

"Whoosh!"

The raven's hands, equipped with sharp claws, slashed fiercely at the monster's tentacles, instantly tearing open a long gash.

only.

What appears as a gruesome gash to an ordinary person seems insignificant on a monster of terrifying size.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the crow flew back.

Just as he was about to land heavily, he transformed into a wisp of smoke, which then coalesced into a solid shape not far away.

"Be careful!"

The crow looked frightened:

"Its body possesses a terrifying power."

The power of fear?

Karl charged forward with his sword, still pondering the meaning of those words, when a sudden warning signal came from his body and mind.

Danger!

Danger!

……

An uncontrollable panic welled up in my heart.

It made his heart race, his mouth dry, and even made his arms holding the two swords feel weak.

This is……

First-circle sorcery - Fear Aura!

Monsters certainly don't know witchcraft, but this kind of pressure on consciousness and body is similar to the witchcraft described in the book.

"Be careful!"

With a low shout, Karl had no time to think. His body swayed and he grew to a height of five meters. Despite his fear, he swung his sword and slashed.

Combat Technique - Gale Slash!

The numerous sword shadows, carrying a hazy petrifying power, collided with the tentacles attacking from the front.

Judging from the monster's size and the destructive power it just displayed, its strength is terrifying, and he is far from being its match.

and so……

Zero-Circle Sorcery - Lesser Spell Field!

Zero-Circle Sorcery - Gravity Distortion!

Zero-Circle Sorcery - Water Whirlpool!

Enchanted Items – Manipulate Gravity!

Various forms of witchcraft and demonic items were unleashed.

Thanks to the increase in mental strength, the power of zero-ring magic has also been enhanced. With the superposition of multiple spells, even legendary creatures will be affected.

The wildly waving tentacles suddenly slowed down.

"Bang!"

"Peng Peng!"

The loud noise echoed through the arena. Karl's muscles tensed, and he still couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to retreat little by little.

Without the weakening effects of numerous magical spells, he would likely have been severely injured on the spot.

The tentacles with suckers and sharp teeth were frantically gnawing at the giant sword, making a cracking sound that was even more terrifying.

"no!"

Even with the magic's weakening effect, its power still far surpasses mine, and this thing is even immune to petrification!

Carl gritted his teeth and struggled to stay upright, his eyes darting back and forth as various analytical data flashed through his mind.

If it were a one-on-one fight, he would have no chance of winning.

at the same time.

"superior!"

Lula suddenly wielded a huge cleaver and, with Odis's help, slashed at the monster's tentacles.

Countless vines descended from the sky, tightly binding the monster.

The crows then attacked the monster's eyes.

"roar!"

A terrifying roar suddenly exploded out of nowhere, sending several figures flying and turning the vines into countless fragments.

The booming sound was almost tangible, sweeping across the entire encampment, and the windows of nearby houses were blown open.

Compared to Karl, the others were even less able to withstand the attack, being sent flying with a single contact.

Fortunately, this is the headquarters of the Dragon King Merchant Guild, which stockpiles all kinds of powerful equipment, including some capable of severely injuring legendary creatures.

"shoot!"

"collapse……"

The powerful crossbow, which required several people to draw its bowstring, trembled violently, and arrows several meters long shot out with lightning speed.

The powerful kinetic energy of these arrows is even enough to penetrate city walls.

"puff!"

"Pfft!"

The monster leaned back, and arrows instantly appeared on its head, with blue blood gushing out.

This is not over yet.

"boom!"

The gunpowder hidden in the arrow exploded with a bang, instantly engulfing the monster's entire head and causing it to let out a shrill scream.

"fire!"

Lula's eyes lit up:

"It's afraid of fire!"

Although the attacks from those people caused some injuries, they were all insignificant to the monster.

The explosion of flames instantly dealt it a severe blow.

There's no reason why the difference in attack power would be so great; it must be that the fire has a boosting effect on its damage.

"Bang!"

The ground trembled, and Karl was the first to make a change.

Fire Mark!

"Whoosh..."

Two streaks of flame appeared on the greatsword in his hand, and he slashed fiercely at the monster's waving tentacles.

"puff!"

With a sizzling sound, a piece of tentacle fell heavily to the ground, its suckers, covered in sharp teeth, still wriggling.

really!

Fire has a damage bonus.

Even the petrification power had little effect on the monster, but the flames easily severed its tentacles.

"superior!"

Lula roared, her machete catching a wad of burning cloth, and she charged toward the monster with the others.

Burning vines and splattering oil swarmed towards the monster.

"Bang!"

"boom……"

The sounds of collisions continued incessantly.

The monster, engulfed in flames, screamed in agony as countless tentacles lashed out wildly, wreaking havoc on the merchant guild's territory.

Its size was terrifying, comparable to a small mountain, and even if it were burned, it would be impossible to burn it completely in a short time.

The only person who could block it head-on was Karl.

Others can only assist from the sidelines.

Combat Technique - Divine Judgment!

Flames danced and swirled in the air, slashing heavily into the monster's body, unleashing terrifying power.

"boom!"

The mountain-sized monster was violently thrown into the air.

The prolonged fighting and maintaining his gigantic form left Karl trembling and weak. At this moment, the Whale Bell on his body rang, and a surge of power welled up within him once again.

"Again!"

"boom!"

"Rumble..."

Much later.

Karl shrank back to his normal size, his whole body trembled slightly, and his face turned deathly pale.

"A legendary creature, is it really that powerful?"

The entire encampment, with its numerous high knights, hundreds of knights, and various powerful weapons, almost couldn't defeat the monster.

Scan the surroundings.

Nearly half of the vast encampment was reduced to ruins, and countless knights and squires perished.

If legendary creatures are so powerful, how were they hunted in the past?

It's impossible for an entire faction to mobilize every time they go to sea, right?

"No!"

The crow, tall and thin, rarely spoke, and upon hearing this, it shook its head.

"Ordinary legendary creatures are not nearly as strong, and things from the water become even weaker once they come ashore."

"This is definitely an exception!"

"Mr. Carl," Lula gestured.

"You can do the final blow."

According to the rules at sea, whoever kills the prey last has the right to choose the prey first.

Carl nodded.

At this moment, the monster's dozens of tentacles were severed, and its remaining body was covered in burns, only able to writhe in instinct.

But as soon as you get close, you can still feel that deep-seated fear.

It's so bad it's hard to look directly at.

"puff!"

Karl suppressed his fear and thrust out his broadsword. As the blade swirled, the monster gradually stopped struggling.

As the monster died, a familiar aura surged into his mind, causing Karl's expression to change slightly.

Ok?

Source quality?

"boom!"

Before he could discern the details, a deafening roar came from the gate of the encampment, and countless merfolk roared as they charged in.

"Stop them!"

"I can't take it anymore!"

Lula's eyes showed despair.

After the monsters wreaked havoc, the Dragon King Merchant Guild suffered heavy casualties, and the strength of several Grand Knights was also greatly reduced.

Faced with the merfolk rushing in, they were unable to mount any effective resistance.

not to mention……

There seemed to be other legendary creatures approaching from behind, and among the merfolk were some who were comparable to the Great Knights.

"Walk!"

"Let's get out of here first."

In the chaos, taking advantage of the darkness and fog, Karl quickly collected the legendary creature's corpse into the Divine Realm Fragment.

Then they fled in haste.

*

*

*

Source quality: 0.2

It's not an illusion!

Karl's expression was solemn. When he killed that legendary creature, a surge of energy entered his mind.

That aura was indeed Origin Essence!

"Killing a legendary creature yields Source Essence? Or does the legendary creature itself possess Source Essence?"

"or……"

"Is that legendary creature special?"

If killing legendary creatures can yield Source Matter, then there's another way to obtain Source Matter.

For him now, the legendary creatures are still too powerful, but perhaps in the future he will be able to hunt them down easily.

"Could it be that, besides beings related to deities, legendary creatures also possess source matter? Or does this legendary creature possess the bloodline of a deity?"

"Uncle."

Aya's voice interrupted Karl's thoughts.

She was wrapped in a thin blanket, curled up as she approached, her eyes flickering. After thinking for a moment, she spoke slowly:

"I think I see Leon."

"Um?"

Carl snapped out of his daze:

"Is it a hallucination?"

"Leon died from drowning, so much time has passed, yet you still can't accept it."

"No," Aya shook her head and whispered.

"It's a merman."

"Even though it looks different, I think that merman is Leon. I... I can't be wrong."

Karl turned his head and looked at Aya.

Aya looked solemn, not at all like someone who was confused, but what she said was too unbelievable.

"impossible……"

"I won't admit my mistake!"

Aya clenched her teeth tightly:

"Leon and I grew up together, we ate together and slept together, so even if he looks different, I'll still recognize him."

"Does he recognize you?" Carl asked.

Aya remained silent.

She screamed Leon's name desperately, but received no response and was nearly killed.

Even so.

"There's no mistake, there's no mistake, that's Leon, that merman... even if it's Leon in disguise."

"Uncle, I know you don't believe me."

She turned to the side and lowered her voice:

"I had some doubts at first, but I just heard from a few people that Miss Lula's brother turned into a mermaid."

"Younger brother?" Karl frowned.

"The son of the former chairman who died in the flood?"

"He didn't die; instead, someone used a special method to keep him submerged in a pool and raising him elsewhere," Aya said.

"A few days ago, he turned into a mermaid."

?

Karl's eyes narrowed.

If what Aya said is true, then the merfolk that suddenly appeared in the endless sea can be explained.

The patient who contracted water poisoning turned into a mermaid!

Bloodline witchcraft?

Do not!

It's the power of an evil god!

There is an evil god who has been secretly turning normal people into merfolk.

Karl spoke, his voice hoarse:

"Aya, do you know how many people are thrown into the water every year because they contract water service?"

"I don't know the exact number, but people are suffering from floods every day, sometimes dozens or even hundreds a day." Aya counted on her fingers:

"Over the decades..."

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, her eyes went unfocused, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Hundreds of thousands!

At least several hundred thousand!

This number of merfolk, let alone a port of freedom, would be enough to easily destroy a kingdom in Karl's original world, provided the gods didn't intervene. Even a legendary knight couldn't change the outcome.

"Whoosh!"

Karl stood up, his eyes fixed intently on the Free Port shrouded in mist.

He originally thought that although the merfolk's attack on Free Port came strangely, they would eventually return to the Endless Sea.

Humans are the true masters of this land; they only need to lay low for now.

but now,

It is very likely that we will lose our free port forever.

Therefore, there could be no water monkeys, and without water monkeys, the berserk potion could not be made, that great divine grace...

No!

Let's grab a few first!

…………

The Brotherhood of Sickles headquarters.

A white snake, tens of meters long, crashed to the ground, its head, the size of a house, rolling off its body.

The Brotherhood leader, Aheng, wielding a giant scythe, landed lightly, his expression equally grim.

Of the three leaders, he was the weakest.

Fortunately, the super-grade black flames of his magic seal can directly burn the life force of his opponents, giving him a significant advantage when facing legendary creatures.

In addition, the Brotherhood of Knights had many knights, which helped them hold their own against the swarming merfolk.

Taking a deep breath, Yaheng spoke in a muffled voice:

"What's the situation with the city lord?"

"President," someone sighed.

"Several legendary creatures have appeared near the city lord's mansion, and our people have no way to get close."

"Even if you get in, you won't be able to get out."

In short, no reinforcements were brought in, and no news came back.

"President."

Second Elder Baird's eyes darted around, and he spoke up first:

"How about I go?"

"You?" Aheng frowned, then nodded:

"Very well, we must call for reinforcements. If the city lord doesn't intervene, we won't be able to hold out for long."

"Yes."

Baird looked very serious:

"I will definitely call for reinforcements."

With that, he turned and leaped out of the camp.

The fog outside obscured the view, but it did not affect Baird, who knew the port of freedom like the back of his hand.

With a swift movement, he did not go to the city lord's mansion, but went straight to his own residence.

Screams and wails could be heard everywhere.

The area around the house is no exception.

"snort!"

"Go find the city lord?"

"If the city lord could repel the merfolk, he would have already made his move, and the city lord's mansion would probably have been breached by now."

"The port of freedom is finished. I'd better leave as soon as possible and find another way out. Staying here is just waiting to die."

A thought flashed through his mind, and he leaped into the backyard, killing several mindless merfolk along the way.

"Chirp chirp..."

He took a whistle out of his pocket and blew it.

Not long after.

The guards hidden in the courtyard all appeared, and Little Jasmine, dressed in a red outfit, was protected in the center by the others.

They looked panicked, but upon seeing Baird, they seemed to have found their anchor, and their eyes became uneasy.

"Father!"

"Um."

Baird nodded to his daughter:

"Hurry up and pack your things, we're leaving Free Port."

"what!"

Little Jasmine's face turned pale:

"Is the situation that bad?"

Leaving a free port means giving up relationships and assets accumulated over decades.

"The strongholds of the Sea God Society and the Dragon King Merchant Guild have been overrun by those monsters, and the same goes for the Brotherhood of Scythes." Baird waved his hand:

"Time is of the essence. Don't ask so many questions. Quickly grab whatever you can carry and let's get going."

"...Yes." Little Jasmine replied, turned around, and ran towards the warehouse under the protection of the guards.

Watching the group of people walk away, Baird stroked his chin, then leaped into the air and headed towards a corner of the courtyard.

There is an inconspicuous room here, which looks like a storage room. Because it is located in the backyard, few people come here, and it is surrounded by weeds.

"squeak……"

Baird pushed open the door, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then slipped into the room.

He tapped the wall tiles in a certain pattern, and a thick floorboard in the corner suddenly flipped up.

Several wooden boxes were exposed underneath.

Seeing this, Baird's face lit up with joy. As long as he had these things, he could live a comfortable life even if he left Freeport.

"Tsk tsk..."

Just then, a soft clicking sound came from the direction of the door, and a burly figure blocked the doorway:

"No wonder I couldn't find it anywhere; you hid all the good stuff here!"

"You..." Baird turned around abruptly, his eyes narrowing:

"Karl!"

"It's me." Karl nodded, slowly drawing his broadsword from his waist.

"Second Elder Baird, this seems to be the first time we've met alone?"

"What a pity!"

"Buzz..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bright light suddenly appeared before his eyes, as Baird swiftly thrust his sword forward.

To become the second elder of the Brotherhood of Scythes, one's own strength is definitely not weak, and one is not far from becoming a peak Grand Knight.

It erupts suddenly, and very few people can escape it.

unfortunately,

He encountered Carl.

Zero-Circle Sorcery - Lesser Spell Field!

Zero-Circle Sorcery - Gravity Distortion!

Enchanted Items – Manipulate Gravity!

A whirlpool of water appeared beneath his feet, pulling Baird's legs toward the ground.

The numerous spells he received reduced his speed by 70%.

"Whoosh!"

Karl drew his sword.

The sword flashed for a moment before slicing across the opponent's neck. When the sword stopped, the corpse behind the victim was severed from its body.

Now, the Great Knight is almost powerless in his presence.

I found a package to gather the things on the ground, and just as I stepped out of the backyard, a group of people came to greet me.

"It's you!"

Jasmine, the woman in red, opened her eyes and waved her hand:

"Kill him!"

"Oh……"

Karl gave a soft shout, his figure flashed out, and his broadsword slashed in all directions, killing several people who rushed at him on the spot.

Jasmine, the woman in red, changed her expression drastically and turned to flee, when suddenly a blood-stained blade emerged from her chest.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but her body had already been turned into a stone sculpture by the broadsword.

"Bang!"

Karl flicked his wrist, and the stone sculpture immediately shattered.

…………

The fog was thick.

Shadowy figures moved about, and hundreds of thousands of merfolk were scattered throughout Free Port. Even the three major powers could not stop them, and the others were lambs to the slaughter.

suddenly.

The ground ahead trembled, and billowing dust rose, while the raging winds whipped up planks and stones.

Carl raised one hand to shield his eyes from the dust and squinted as he looked ahead.

What came into view was a giant toad, seventeen or eighteen meters tall, with huge pustules all over its body. As the pustules trembled, streams of clearly poisonous liquid shot out from them.

The venom landed, instantly corroding the earth and creating a huge crack; the consequences of it landing on a person are unimaginable.

Its tongue is incredibly fast; with a single open mouth, the ground dozens of meters away cracks open.

The afterimage of the tongue shot out was almost beyond the Great Knight's reaction time.

Legendary creature!

However, this legendary creature was in a bad state; it had many cracks on its body and one of its legs was broken.

It was fighting a man clad in armor, wielding a trident. Streams of water gathered and exploded beneath the man's feet.

Propelled by the water flow, the man quickly approached the toad and launched an attack.

Poseidon Hawk!

"As expected of the strongest expert under the Lord of Sodan City, he can actually fight a legendary creature all by himself."

Carl was amazed, but he could also see that his opponent's advantage was not obvious, and he was even slightly at a disadvantage.

His eyes were slightly narrowed.

He tightened his grip on his broadsword, strode forward, and shouted:

"President Hawke, I'm here to help you!"

Secret Technique - Giant Form!

"boom!"

A giant over five meters tall appeared in the arena, charging forward wielding two giant swords over three meters long.
