Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 38 Divine Arts

What is that?

Without time to think, Karl instinctively dodged to the side.

He seemed to lightly touch the ground with his feet, but suddenly he slid several feet to the side, like a hawk flying close to the ground.

Eagle Step!

Thanks to the blessing of the fragments of the divine realm, he has mastered the basics of this martial art in just a few days and can even use it in actual combat.

The shadowy figure missed its first strike, then turned and swung its arm to stab again, clearly not intending to let this 'eyewitness' leave.

"laugh!"

The sound of a dagger cutting through the air filled the air as it hurtled towards Karl's throat, causing his skin to tense and his heart to pound wildly.

"when……"

A collision sound rang out.

The seemingly light cane in Karl's hand was actually made of metal, and it struck the incoming dagger heavily.

Ok?

Knight's Squire!

Although his opponent was slightly weaker than him, he was still a knight squire.

next moment.

Several cold glints appeared in succession, striking rapidly and relentlessly, forcing Karl to retreat repeatedly.

When he stopped, he had been forced into a dark alley.

The alley was covered with cobwebs, the ground was sticky with liquid, and there was a pungent odor.

"Hiss..."

Two dark figures slowly crawled out from behind, their green eyes appearing particularly cold and eerie in the darkness.

Karl, who frequently visited Black City and was already accustomed to the dark environment, saw the whole scene in an instant, and a chill ran down his spine.

monster?

Human or spider?

Three humanoid spiders with six arms slowly approached.

There was another one of these creatures on the ground not far away, but its body had been cut apart by a sharp blade, and it was beyond dead.

Other than that,

There was also a figure wrapped in spider silk.

The figure was wrapped in spider silk, and the exposed clothes looked familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere before.

Before he could think any further, the dark figure pounced again.

In terms of strength, the monster is not as strong as Karl, but it has six arms, which means it can launch attacks more frequently and its attacks are more difficult to intercept.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a blinding white light shone in the darkness.

Light spell!

The sudden light caused the three-headed monster to instinctively close its eyes, hiss and scream, and even stop moving.

photophobia?

They seemed to fear light even more than the people of Black City.

Karl's thoughts raced, but his movements didn't falter at all. He darted out of the encirclement, simultaneously slashing his left hand backward.

Fire Mark!

"boom!"

A ball of flame appeared out of thin air and charged at the three-headed monster.

The flames surged in a shockwave, engulfing the entire dark alleyway and engulfing the three-headed monster.

moment.

A burnt smell appeared.

"Sizzle..."

"what!"

The monsters seemed to have extremely little resistance to fire, letting out miserable screams as they rolled on the ground, unable to launch an effective counterattack.

The spiderwebs that covered the alleyways were burning wildly.

Ok?

Karl raised an eyebrow and pressed down again with his left hand.

Fire Mark!

Fire Mark!

Fire Seal!!!

While you are sick, I will kill you.

"boom……"

Flames swept across the area, engulfing the three-headed monster in flames as it struggled frantically on the ground.

In just a moment, they fell silent, their bodies turned to charcoal, and the spider silk in the alley was completely wiped out.

"Tsk!"

Carl stopped what he was doing and clicked his tongue lightly:

"As expected, magic is much more elegant and stylish, and its destructive power is also stronger. But what are all these things?"

Judging from the speed and power these monsters have displayed, even a top-tier knight's squire might not be a match for them if they cannot cast spells.

Moreover, no one can guarantee that they don't have other means of dealing with it.

such as……

Spitting silk?

Carl cautiously approached, examined the corpse on the ground, and finally stopped in front of the cocoon wrapped in spider webs.

Picking up the dagger, I cut open the spider cocoon, and a familiar face came into view.

"Diana?"

He touched his chin and saw that Diana's eyelids were trembling and she might wake up at any moment, so Karl leaped onto the wall.

After a while.

Diana struggled to her feet, staring blankly at the scene before slapping herself twice across the face.

It seems he wanted to use this to prove that he wasn't dreaming.

Karl, hidden in the shadows, twitched his lips slightly. This woman was ruthless enough to slap herself with such force.

It looks painful.

He shook his head and quietly left.

The next day.

"All patrol personnel, assemble!"

Diana, her arm wrapped in gauze, had a cold expression. Her gaze swept over everyone in the room, and her voice suddenly rose:

"Don't look so lazy. Today we're going to wipe out the evil god's stronghold. We could encounter danger at any moment."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, someone's expression changed drastically, and without asking why, they first tried to decline:

"Can we not go?"

His statement drew nods of agreement from many people.

Everyone present was pampered and spoiled; their first reaction to any danger was to run away.

"cannot!"

Diana snorted coldly:

"Don't worry, the overall commander this time is a bishop from the Vatican, with the Night Watch team as the main force, and we and the police officers assisting from the side."

"A bishop?" Carey asked in surprise.

"Bishop Antonio?"

"That's good." Diana nodded.

"It's him."

"Whoosh..."

The crowd erupted in uproar.

This is the Bishop of Signoria, whose status is comparable to that of the city lord, and he actually took action personally.

Carl also looked surprised.

Today's operation is most likely related to what happened to Dina yesterday, but he didn't expect it to alarm a bishop. The last time he destroyed the Fire Thief's stronghold, it wasn't this grand.

Bishop Antonio is of high status, and his appearance also means that the guardian knights of the Papacy will take action.

That's a full-fledged knight!

Well……

According to Senior Sister Sybel, a formal knight's strength is comparable to that of a strong intermediate-level wizard apprentice.

"A high-ranking wizard apprentice who masters a powerful spell can easily kill a full-fledged knight."

Even the Great Knight.

As for wizards.

This kind of being can be compared to the most elite beings in human society, the legendary knight.

of course.

This is just a rough division.

The strength of wizard apprentices varies greatly depending on their mastery of witchcraft and the presence or absence of enchanted items.

Even among intermediate wizard apprentices, some can kill a knight with ease, while others may not even be as good as a knight's squire.

I wonder if the priests and bishops in the Church of Dawn have any special abilities. Could it be that they are just special people who have received divine favor?

If that's the case, it seems a bit far-fetched that it could command knights, or even great knights.

"Divide into three routes."

Diana pointed casually:

"You, you, and all of you, follow me, let's go!"

Among the people she was referring to were Carl and Carey.

Before long, a large group of patrol personnel set off, while Diana beckoned Karl to her side.

"yesterday……"

After thinking for a moment, she hesitated before speaking:

"Did anything happen to you after you left the theater?"

"What did I encounter?" Carl asked, looking completely bewildered.

"I left by carriage after the show, what could I possibly have run into? Sir, where did you go then?"

"never mind."

Diana shook her head and waved her hand:

"It's alright, you can go ahead and do your work."

She was just asking casually and didn't think the person who saved her last night would be Carl.

after all.

Karl had only been a knight's squire for a short time.

Soon after.

The crowd gathered with the Night's Watch of the Holy See, and at a command, they rushed toward a courtyard in the south of the city.

First they surrounded the courtyard, then they drew their bows and nocked arrows.

"put!"

"collapse!"

Arrows rained down, each arrow tied with a torch, and they immediately burst into flames upon landing on houses and thatched huts.

It is clear.

The Vatican also knew that their target feared fire.

Before the flames, a priest walked out holding a Bible, his gaze piously fixed on the sky.

Then he made a few gestures in front of his body and whispered:

"Great Lord of the Dawn, your faithful followers pray for your blessings."

"boom!"

A burst of white light suddenly erupted from his body, instantly covering the entire area. Karl, who was in the crowd, felt a surge of heat in his body and was filled with power.

This is……

witchcraft?

Do not!

It's divine magic!
