Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 43 Harvest

The flames roared out at an astonishing speed, and the high temperature caused hair to curl and body moisture to evaporate rapidly.

No knight's squire dared to take an offensive sign head-on.

At least……

Carl hasn't encountered this yet.

"Um!"

Across from him, Iron Fist Abe grunted and leaped nearly three meters into the air, dodging the incoming flames as he lunged from a distance.

He was greeted by a second flame.

Fire Mark!

"what!"

Iron Fist Abe roared to the sky, clenched his fists, and smashed straight at the oncoming flames.

"Bang!"

The flames dissipated.

A burnt smell wafted over.

"Iron Fist?"

Karl's gaze lingered on the opponent's fist for a moment, then he gently pushed his left arm again, activating the Fire Mark.

With his current strength, he can unleash six fire seals in one go.

Although the opponent's fists were strangely strong, even capable of shattering flames, his arms lacked protection and would certainly be unable to withstand the attack.

"Whoosh!"

A figure flashed ahead, and Iron Fist Abe's speed suddenly increased, dodging the flames and rushing to the front.

Combat Skill - Roar!

This is a special combat technique.

He let out a beast-like roar to motivate himself, stirring up his life force and thus increasing his speed and attack power for a short period of time.

The unexpected turn of events caused Karl's eyes to narrow involuntarily, and at the same time, he lightly snapped his fingers with his raised left hand.

"Snapped!"

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared.

Light spell!

at the same time.

An invisible force field enveloped the surroundings.

Zero-Circle Sorcery - Lesser Spell Field!

"puff!"

As Iron Fist Abbe's fist pierced the force field, the air rippled like water, and the slight slowing of his speed made Karl's heart sink.

What happened?

Why did the force field suppression become so weak?

The power of witchcraft is closely related to the strength of one's mental power. With Karl's current mental power approaching that of an intermediate wizard apprentice, a secondary spell field is enough to suppress the strength of a knight's squire by 30% to 40%.

In other words, it makes a knight's squire slightly stronger than an ordinary person.

but now……

While Iron Fist Abe's speed and power were affected to some extent, it wasn't by much.

but,

Ultimately, it was affected.

"when……"

The broad sword lay across the front of him.

The fist collided with the sword, and both men were thrown backward.

The ground beneath Karl's feet cracked open, propelling him forward. His broadsword instantly created four afterimages.

Combat Technique - Gale Slash!

Before the opponent's vision could be restored, go all out.

"bite……"

"Jingle bells..."

The sounds of collision were as rapid as a sudden downpour. Iron Fist Abe, who could not see, roared loudly, punching left and right, but could not stop his continuous retreat.

"puff!"

A sword flashed past his calf, and he screamed in pain, falling to his knees.

"die!"

Karl's eyes narrowed, and he slashed fiercely with his sword.

Rage Strike!

"when……"

A fist blocked the blade, and the enormous impact caused Karl to lean back and stagger backward.

Such incredible power!

The power this guy unleashed in an instant probably exceeded one. Without the suppression of the force field, Karl knew he would be no match for him.

Moreover, Iron Fist Abbe's boxing skills are extremely impressive. Even though he is blind, he can withstand the blows of a broadsword and even combat techniques with his solid boxing skills.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a figure flashed past, brandishing a dagger and stabbing at Iron Fist Abe from behind.

It's Aya.

The dagger in her hand was extremely sharp, capable of easily cutting through iron armor, and flesh and blood could hardly withstand it.

"what!"

Xiao Nan roared and charged forward, wielding a heavy wooden shield, crouching back as he desperately accelerated.

"call……"

Karl took a deep breath, calming the restless energy within him, and joined in, wielding his broadsword as well.

"puff!"

The dagger sliced ​​through the flesh of Iron Fist Abe.

"Bang!"

The immense force shattered the wooden shield in Xiao Nan's hand, and he was sent flying.

Karl's figure collided with Iron Fist Abbe in mid-air, the sword shadow and fist friction creating a sky full of flying sparks.

Even with the three of them working together, they were still unable to maintain their superior position for a time.

However, the fighting in other areas was nearing its end, and more and more people were joining the siege.

"Aya!"

"head!"

"..."

"Kill them!"

After a while.

"puff!"

As Karl brandished his broadsword, Iron Fist Abe, covered in blood, swayed and finally collapsed to the ground.

The heavy body stirred up dust.

"call……"

Karl exhaled a long breath and urged in a voice:

"Pack your things and let's go!"

This place isn't far from the Rakka market, so it's very likely to alert the city guards. If they hear the commotion and come over, it'll be troublesome.

"Yes."

Aya had injured her shoulder, but she grimaced and nodded, then told everyone to clean up the battlefield before quickly leaving.

No one noticed that in a corner of the manor, several rats quickly crawled over the corpse and disappeared into their burrow.

"Uncle."

Aya rushed over, her face beaming with excitement. Seeing Karl's expression, she paused, surprised, and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Karl shook his head.

"I just didn't expect Iron Fist Abe to be so strong. I... was a bit too narrow-minded."

He had thought that with his knowledge of witchcraft, hand signs, and breathing techniques, he would be virtually unmatched at the squire level.

never thought,

The fact that the leader of a small faction in Black City had almost rendered him powerless filled him with a bitter feeling.

"Like a frog in a well, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well?"

Aya blinked. Although she had never heard those words before, she understood their meaning and couldn't help but smile.

"Iron Fist Abe is a top-notch squire, otherwise he wouldn't have been recruited by the Brotherhood. Moreover, he was able to hold his own against the old man for a short time by using his combat skills to unleash his potential."

"The older man is still more impressive."

Karl shook his head slightly.

He simply benefited from having more tricks up his sleeve.

Iron Fist Abe's martial arts skills are extremely superb. His moves are not complicated, but they are very impressive when executed.

Their combat skills were also extremely proficient.

This is probably the norm in Black City.

Like that red hair...

Similarly, relying on solid basic skills, one can withstand Karl's combat techniques, something even Diana might not be able to do. The tempering of martial arts skills in life-or-death battles is incomparable to anything outside.

"Perhaps it is precisely because of the environment of Black City that the martial artists here are all so powerful."

"Among the knights' squires in Black City, Iron Fist Abe might be a skilled fighter, but he's definitely not the strongest. There are many others stronger than him."

After regaining his composure, Karl smiled again.

I'm a bit too sensitive. I get discouraged after a little setback. It's good to realize this sooner rather than later, so I won't be blindly arrogant. Even if I encounter a real master in the future, I won't be caught off guard.

not to mention……

Iron Fist Abe has been famous for many years, yet he remains a knight's squire, indicating that it is difficult for him to become stronger, but he still has great potential.

"Oh, right."

Thinking of something, Karl asked:

"That Iron Fist Abe should also have magical seals on him, right?"

"Yes." Aya nodded.

"It seems to be called 'Steel Body,' which can increase the body's defense, but the magic seal was destroyed when he died."

Carl understood.

If a person is seriously injured, or if the flesh where the sign is located rots, the sign will be damaged.

There are even secret techniques that can directly destroy the magic seals on one's body to prevent them from falling into the hands of enemies.

Steel body?

"The spell field has little effect on Iron Fist Abe; it's most likely due to the sign."

"Signs can resist magic!"

"Oh, right."

Aya remembered the important matter and clapped her hands, saying:

"We found a box in Iron Fist Abbe's base containing eighteen portions of alien beast meat."

"There are also hundreds of black stones, some from my collection..."

Karl could no longer hear anything else; his attention was entirely focused on the eighteen portions of exotic beast meat.

"real?"

"It's true."

Aya nodded.
