Chapter 76 A Bountiful Harvest (Please add to your favorites)

"It's him!"

The armored giant, over three meters tall, made Taro Dao's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"He's the one who killed the Foster family's youngest son!"

Just now, Karl was wearing a cloak that covered his face, so his appearance was not clearly visible. Now, in this form, his features are very obvious.

There's no way they'd admit they were wrong.

"It's him?"

Diana and the others' eyes flickered with surprise, secret joy, and hope...

Regardless of the other party's identity or reason for being there, their hopes for survival now rest on that person.

Of course I hope he wins.

"A demonized item!"

The armor that suddenly appeared on Karl's body also made Robert's eyes light up, revealing a hint of greed.

Enchanted armor-type items are rare, and those that can freely change size are even rarer.

What if it falls into my hands?

How wonderful that would be!

"Whoosh..."

Just as Carl was about to unleash his sword on Robert, a thick earthen wall suddenly rose between the two of them.

"boom!"

The earthen wall cracked.

The shattered soil didn't fall to the ground; instead, it transformed into earth snakes that coiled around Karl's body.

At the same time, a ring on Robert's finger began to flash wildly.

Gravity protection!

"boom!"

An invisible force struck again, causing Karl to freeze in place, and the earth snake that had coiled around him tightly bound his legs.

Taking this opportunity, Robert stepped back.

Wizard apprentices possess powerful mental strength, enabling them to accurately analyze changing situations and have sufficient reaction time to cast spells in response.

Therefore, getting close to an emotionally stable and prepared wizard apprentice is not an easy task.

"snort!"

Karl hummed softly.

Combat Technique - Bloom!

A surge of violent battle aura erupted once more, and the immense power instantly tore through the restraints on his body before he flashed away.

This time, he was even closer to Robert.

Ok?

The unusual landing caused Karl's expression to change slightly beneath his helmet, and he subconsciously exerted force again.

"Too late!"

Robert smiled faintly.

Witchcraft Trap - Swamp!

The spot where he stood was actually a pre-arranged sorcery trap; once activated, anyone who fell into it would be trapped in a swamp and unable to move.

This is a trap a level higher than mud; even a great knight would find it difficult to escape quickly if he were trapped inside.

Robert raised his hand again, and both rings flashed simultaneously.

Summon the Thorns!

Titan's Hammer!

moment.

More than ten thorny vines, each as thick as a child's arm, sprouted from the ground, trapping Karl firmly in place.

If he hadn't been wearing armor, the thorns on the vines would have pierced his flesh and devoured his blood.

At the same time, an invisible force gathered in the air, and a giant hammer appeared out of thin air, crashing down on his location.

Finished!

Despair filled the faces of Diana and the others.

Robert's methods were endless, and they suspected that even the Grand Knight would not be a match for him.

Although the Xuanjia Giant was powerful, he was led around by others at every step and had no power to fight back.

escape?

Da Wu's eyes darted around as he began to search for a way out.

"Snap!"

Trapped by traps and vines, Karl held his sword upright in front of him with both hands, his expression solemn and dignified beneath his helmet.

It was as if a layer of pure white light emanated from his body, condensing into a physical form slightly larger than himself.

Combat Skill - Guardian!

"boom!"

The giant hammer fell from the sky and landed on Karl.

The terrifying power made the earth tremble, and smoke and dust filled the surrounding area, obscuring everything inside.

"call……"

A gentle breeze is blowing.

The dust gradually dissipated.

A figure kneeling on one knee came into view, and under everyone's gaze, he slowly stood up, leaning on his sword with both hands.

"N-nothing...is everything alright?"

"I'll take it!"

Daigo looked astonished, then his face lit up with wild joy, and he shouted in surprise:

"He's alright!"

That attack just now could easily smash a knight who had activated his battle aura into a pile of minced meat.

Even a great knight might not be able to withstand it.

now……

The Xuanjia warriors held on!

The others were equally surprised, and Diana was especially excited, her face flushed, as she gripped the sword hilt tightly.

"Titan's Hammer?"

Carl lowered his head and looked at Robert, whose face was gloomy:

"Not bad."

It is indeed quite powerful, comparable to an attack of a Grand Knight, or even stronger.

However,

The martial art he cultivated, the Guardian Ring, was a technique bestowed upon the warriors of the Forgotten City by the Moon Goddess.

This martial art is particularly adept at defense.

Moreover, Karl himself was in good physical condition, and he had also activated a secret technique, plus he was wearing armor and had a steel body for protection.

It can be said that it has been enhanced with multiple layers of buffs.

In terms of defense,

Even ordinary great knights are far inferior to him!

"call……"

With a flash, Karl reappeared in front of Robert, his arm trembling, and his broadsword suddenly grew larger.

"Snap, snap..."

The original broadsword was only relative to ordinary people; in his gigantic state, it was like a short sword.

just now!

The broadsword grew to nearly three meters in length, resembling a door panel, and its weight increased as its size grew.

Enchanted items!

The immense weight brings terrifying destructive power.

"Bang!"

This time.

The earthen wall that Robert summoned was almost useless, as it was smashed to pieces by the giant sword.

"Bang!"

Just as his body was about to be torn apart by the immense force, a giant hand appeared in front of the greatsword and gripped the blade tightly.

Ok?

Karl's eyes narrowed.

"You think I'm afraid of people getting close?" Robert twisted his neck, and his body suddenly changed.

His skin began to take on a cold, hard gray, as if covered by countless tiny stones.

More than just skin!

The muscles and bones also seemed to have changed, becoming hard and cold, as if replaced by rock.

The eyes gradually lost the gentleness that humans should have, becoming sharp, harsh, and gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

Its size increased dramatically, as if it had been inflated, even taller than Karl, who was over three meters tall.

Witchcraft - Gargoyles (incomplete)!

Looking directly at the other person, Karl's expression was serious:

"Physical modification?"

"Bloodline Wizard!"

There are also differences among wizards. For example, the magic practiced by Adolf belongs to the most traditional natural school.

That is, elemental wizards!

Other types include Shadow Wizards, Nightmare Wizards, and Bloodline Wizards...

However, compared to the natural school, the number of wizards from other schools is very small, and they are even rarer in the Kingdom of Gondor.

It belongs to the realm of legend.

Unexpected,

Robert is a bloodline wizard!

This type of wizard is skilled in physical modification and bloodline evolution, and often lives among various other creatures.

He was likely involved in methods such as purifying potions and cultivating spider women.

"good."

After transforming into a gargoyle, Robert's mental fluctuations also turned cold, and his voice became muffled:

"I need the experience and knowledge of flesh and blood modification. Anyone who stands in my way must die!"

"the same as you!"

"Bang!"

He punched out with one fist, and the air was blasted with a dull, loud thud.

Karl sheathed his sword to defend himself, retreating several steps.

Such incredible power!

His physique stat, when he grew to giant size, could reach 3.3 or 3.4, comparable to a Grand Knight. Robert at this time would probably have a stat of 4, which would also be considered top-tier among Grand Knights.

Not all wizards are bad at melee combat.

Bloodline Wizard

Their specialty is close-quarters combat!

"die!"

With a low growl, Robert charged forward, his terrifying strength and massive size making him appear like a moving hill.

As he threw his punch, layers of earth and rocks covered his body, instantly transforming him into a suit of armor.

Rock armor!

Zero-ring sorcery - Manipulation of earth and rock.

Gargoyles have naturally tough skin, and with this rock armor, they are fearless against any weapon.

However, in close combat, strength and defense alone are not enough to gain the upper hand.

Robert's sorcery was incredibly powerful, but he was clearly not skilled in martial arts and could not fully utilize his power.

This,

This is undoubtedly a major flaw.

After taking a few steps back, Karl's expression relaxed. Although his opponent had come on fiercely, he was not as terrifying as he had imagined.

"boom!"

The two collided in mid-air once again.

The whistling energy burst forth from the point of contact, sweeping in all directions, even tearing off a layer of the ground beneath their feet.

Combat Technique - Eagle Strike!

Carl moved swiftly, wildly swinging his heavy broadsword, slashing at Robert from all directions.

He was not only a physically strong knight, but also a martial arts master with superb skills.

How could martial arts techniques taught by the gods be ordinary?

Combat Technique - Divine Judgment!

Karl leaped into the air, his greatsword gleaming with a cold, sharp light. He then plummeted down, swinging the sword and spinning it once more. The greatsword swiftly circled before him, ultimately forming a bright sword shadow that obscured the blade itself.

The battle aura within their bodies erupted simultaneously, instantly blasting out two intersecting sword lights, like crosses falling from the sky.

The sword intent was sharp, domineering, sacred, and majestic.

It's like carrying out executions on behalf of Heaven!

This is the Ring of Protection's ultimate move.

With each sweep of the sword's shadow, its power increased, and the battle aura intensified, causing dust to billow and even form a tornado on the ground.

A sudden gust of wind arose, and the shockwaves formed by the battle aura swept everything in all directions, covering everything in the tornado without any chance of escape.

Robert, who was at the core, had his vision obstructed and his senses limited, and he only felt an invisible pressure descending upon him.

Danger!

You might die!

"what!"

With a roar, he spread his arms and lunged forward.

Simultaneously.

The ring on his hand flashed wildly as he unleashed various forms of witchcraft and demonic items with reckless abandon.

Circular Star Sword!

Summon the Thorns!

Titan's Hammer!

Gravity protection!

Earth spikes!

Summon Earth and Rock!

"boom!"

The earthquake trembled.

Robert's body trembled violently, the rocks surrounding him fell down in a rustling sound, and cracks appeared all over the gargoyle's body.

Karl was also in bad shape; being hit by so much witchcraft, even with his amazing defense, he was inevitably injured.

"puff!"

Despite coughing up blood, he did not stop, but lunged forward again, his greatsword bursting into flames.

Fire Mark!

"boom!"

The flames surged, and the intense heat seeped inwards through the cracks in the gargoyle's body, scorching its internal organs.

"pity!"

As he swung his sword, Karl sneered:

"Your gargoyle form is incomplete; otherwise, only a legendary knight could defeat you."

"puff!"

Robert coughed up blood, white smoke rose from his throat, and there was a smell of burning internal organs coming from his body.

shit!

Real gargoyles are seven or eight meters tall and weigh over ten tons; a single flap of their wings can create a whirlwind.

These are legendary creatures, and if one could fully transform into a gargoyle, it would be considered a level of sorcery.

If I can do that, I'll definitely be a formal wizard.

How could that be...

"Snap!"

The greatsword pierced through a crack in the gargoyle's skin, followed the seam into its body, and then emerged from its back.

Robert lowered his head, his eyes filled with despair.

"No!"

"I...I haven't become a formal wizard yet..."

"I……"

His body slowly shrank, his hands gripping Karl's arm tightly, his eyes filled with a desperate yearning for life.

The fear of death made him completely forget the dignity of being a wizard's apprentice.

"don't want!"

"Don't...kill me..."

Karl shook his head, and the greatsword suddenly spun around.

"So many young girls and weavers died because of you, and you didn't seem to show them any mercy when they died."

"puff!"

The body fell to the ground.

Carl took a deep breath, quickly took the ring off Robert's hand, and searched him to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything.

"Walk!"

Turning around, he gestured to Diana and the others:

"Let's get out of here first!"

Without Robert's command, the Spider Woman on the field was clearly in disarray and was no match for Carl.

A group of wounded soldiers broke through the blockade and disappeared into the darkness.

*

*

*

Fragments of the Divine Realm.

"It's out!"

Even with an unseen force calming his mind, Carl's expression still betrayed his excitement, his eyes shining as he looked intently at the spoils of this trip on the table.

Four rings!

Four enchanted items!

This is simply extravagant wealth!

Each ring has a unique design, but they all share the same name engraved on the inner band.

Leo!

I don't know if it's a surname or a given name, but it's definitely someone's title.

"Leo?"

Karl seemed to be deep in thought:

"I think I mentioned this name before. He was a high-ranking wizard apprentice in the Kingdom of Gangdo a hundred years ago, and he was skilled in crafting enchanted items."

If he were still alive, he would definitely be a formal wizard, but that's unlikely.

Meditation and practicing witchcraft require a lot of time. If you are distracted by crafting weapons, you will definitely not be able to improve your mental strength, and it will be difficult to become a formal wizard.

Composing himself, Karl picked up the rings on the table one by one.

The ring inlaid with rubies comes with the spell of Summon Thorns, a zero-level summoning spell.

Once activated, it will summon more than ten bloodthirsty vines that can both devour the flesh and blood of enemies and trap opponents.

It can easily drain a knight into a dried-up corpse.

It can be used three times a day.

The sapphire-encrusted ring possesses the magic of the Ring Star Sword, a zero-ring magic of the Starry Sky system.

Once activated, the starlight will converge into six longswords around the caster, which have a certain degree of automatic tracking function.

Since the Ring Star Sword has no physical form, it can ignore defenses to a certain extent, and can even pierce through heavy armor.

However, the existence of a physical entity weakens its destructive power.

The ring shows obvious signs of damage. Although it can be used four times a day, it probably won't last long.

The topaz ring carries the magic of gravity protection, a zero-ring gravity-based magic.

Once activated, it can alter the gravity environment of a certain area, serving both defensive and trapping purposes.

Its power is similar to that of a secondary spell field cast by an intermediate wizard apprentice, but it is more flexible and versatile.

The number of times it can be used depends on the situation.

The last ring is set with a crystal, and the magic is Titan's Hammer, an offensive magic.

This sorcery is extremely powerful, even ordinary high knights cannot withstand it, but casting the spell requires a certain amount of preparation time, and once locked on, the attack position cannot be moved.

So it is.

Before unleashing Titan's Hammer, Robert would first fixate on the target before summoning the sorcery attack.

It can be used a maximum of three times a day.

There are also signs of damage.

The reason why enchanted items are damaged is mostly because they are forcibly activated beyond the daily limit of usage.

Although spells can still be cast, they will cause irreversible damage, and eventually become unusable.

In reality, most enchanted items have a "durability" and cannot be used indefinitely.

"Um?"

Karl put on the crystal ring and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Whoosh!"

With a slight wave of his arm, the air in front of him rippled like water, and two books and a bottle of medicine appeared out of thin air.

"This ring even possesses the ability to conceal objects within the void! This is a second-tier or higher form of sorcery!"

"No!"

Karl shook his head, took off the ring and examined it closely, a thoughtful expression on his face:

"It shouldn't be the ring's power, but rather this crystal. The crystal itself has a certain amount of storage space."

Crafting an enchanted item with the ability to conceal objects in the void is something a wizard apprentice could never accomplish.

Even a certified wizard might not be able to do it!

However, if the item itself has a certain amount of space, it is much simpler to refine it into a demonized item.

Just like the broadsword he always carried with him.

The crystal itself didn't have much space, only enough to hold two books and a porcelain bottle, but it was undoubtedly a valuable item; otherwise, Robert wouldn't have carried it with him.

Upon closer inspection, the two books were "A Complete Analysis of Gargoyles" and "A Detailed Explanation of Earth-Based Sorcery".

Two lineages that can lead to becoming a full-fledged wizard!

It contains seven magical arts!

After reading it, Carl almost burst into laughter, his usually composed expression betraying his joy.

"Gargoyle Full Text Analysis" follows the path of bloodline wizards and also has some shadows of construct witchcraft.

To cultivate this technique, one must gradually improve their physical body in the direction of a gargoyle, until the gargoyle technique is constructed in the inner sea of ​​the spirit, completing the evolution from spirit to body.

If successful.

Advance to a formal wizard.

I can also turn into a gargoyle at any time.

This witchcraft has some flaws. As the practice time increases, one will gradually lose the emotions that only humans possess. Moreover, because it involves a complete transformation, it cannot be transformed into other creatures.

It also has advantages.

That means it can significantly extend lifespan!

Ordinary professional wizards can live for over two hundred years, but gargoyles, by slowing down the consumption of their life force, can live for four or five hundred years.

"wrong!"

Carl shook his head:

"This shouldn't be the orthodox path for bloodline wizards."

"Gargoyles are not living creatures, but mechanical life forms created by wizards."

"A true bloodline wizard can freely transform into other species, while the art of gargoyle magic is more like a shortcut that takes an unorthodox approach."

in fact,

Karl is overthinking it.

Bloodline wizards need the flesh and blood of legendary creatures to cultivate their skills, but there are only a handful of such beings in the entire kingdom of Gondor.

Therefore, the orthodox path of bloodline wizards is simply not viable here.

The Gargoyle technique doesn't require such a process; one only needs to refine a Stone Heart to even begin learning it.

"Flesh and blood modification!"

Karl's gaze paused slightly as he turned to one of the pages.

He finally understood why Robert was so popular in Signoria; bloodline wizards could subtly alter the body.

like,

To make a certain part bigger or longer.

"Oh……"

With a slight chuckle and a shake of his head, Karl picked up another book.

The "Detailed Explanation of Earth-Based Sorcery" records four types of sorcery: Zero-Ring Sorcery - Manipulation of Earth and Rock, Earth Spike, and Great Force Tremor, and First-Ring Sorcery - Earth Shatter.

Another magic trick involves melting mud.

Three zero-ring spells plus one magic trick can form a one-ring spell, Earthshaker, which is a complete lineage.

but……

"There's no meditation method?"

Carl frowned.

Not only does the Earth-based lineage lack meditation techniques, but the Gargoyle technique also lacks the crucial method for creating Stone Hearts.

While witchcraft can be practiced without meditation, the chances of becoming a formal wizard are extremely low, as described in the book.

Almost none!

The same goes for Heart of Stone.

Without a heart of stone, some flesh-and-blood wizarding techniques can still be practiced, but the final gargoyle cannot be created.

"Could it be that here, the so-called secrets of sages, passed down orally without being written down, are also popular?"

With a sigh, Karl put the book down.

"Humans are indeed insatiable and never satisfied."

"Having four enchanted items, they still want witchcraft; having witchcraft, they still want the complete inheritance."

He shook his head and picked up the last porcelain bottle.

The bottle contained some granular objects, about the size of rice grains, transparent like ice crystals, which made a gurgling sound when shaken.

"It should be rice essence, a medicine that helps with meditation practice, which can replace the Light of Wisdom."

Karl was not surprised by what was inside the porcelain bottle.

of course,

There weren't many surprises.

He still has a lot of soul powder on hand, so he won't lack auxiliary potions before becoming a formal wizard.

However, as drug resistance increases, it becomes necessary to switch to other medications in order to maintain the increase in cultivation level.

…………

Karl now has five enchanted items, all of which are rings, enough to fill one hand.

Don't bring it.

I'm afraid I won't be able to take it out when I need it.

带,

The numerous rings on her hand were too conspicuous, and some people might even be able to recognize their origin.

After thinking for a while, he simply put on a pair of loose gloves to cover the ring underneath.

"Have you heard?"

"The pharmacist Robert is actually from Cologne, and the disappearance of the female worker at the Lap Textile Factory is also related to him."

"I heard that we lost many skilled men last night, and even Chief of Staff Goff was seriously injured. However, they escaped from the textile factory base and ordered the city guards to raid the factory overnight."

Someone died?

"Of course, a lot of people died, and they were all important figures!"

Carl lay on the soft chair, closed his eyes and pretended to doze off, listening to the hushed whispers of his colleagues around him.

"I also heard that a mysterious person intervened to help, otherwise even the commander-in-chief wouldn't have been able to escape."

"A mysterious person?"

Shh, the officer is here.

"Silence!"

Diana's voice rang out:

"Today we're raiding Robert's estate. Anyone willing to go?"

Ok?

Karl opened his eyes wide:

"Wow!"

Robert's estate should have books on witchcraft; if we could get our hands on them, it would save us a lot of trouble in our subsequent practice.
