Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 305 Results

The floating gargoyle launched the first attack, flapping its wings and sending several energy blasts burning with dark red flames hurtling toward Rolin!

At the same time, the shadowy vines in the deadwood forest sprang out like ghosts, and several barbed shadow tentacles silently extended from the ground and the gaps in the deadwood, wrapping around Rolin's feet!

In the murky river, the Water Skeleton raised its skeletal arm, and a pale white water arrow carrying a chilling aura shot out, blocking Rolin's flank and blocking his escape route!

A pincer attack from three sides, with perfect teamwork!

With a burst of star power beneath his feet, Rolin charged forward instead of retreating, rushing towards the gargoyle!

During the sprint, the body made a series of tiny swaying and turning movements with incredible flexibility, precisely avoiding the entanglement of most of the fireballs and shadow tentacles. Only two fireballs grazed past the body, and the heat waves they generated were easily blocked by the protective star power.

At the same time, he lightly pressed his left hand against the ground.

[Starflow Water Park] Activated!

The goal is not to control the river, because that water carries death energy and is not easy to control.

Instead, it manipulates the fine sand and sulfur mist on the ground in the rocky area!

The sand and mist drawn by the star power instantly rose up, forming a blurry, high-speed rotating barrier behind Rolin!

The shadow tentacles and the water skeleton's ice arrows crashed into the barrier, immediately having their direction and energy structure disrupted, greatly reducing their power.

They even collided and partially canceled each other out!

Rolin's speed did not slow down at all, and he had already rushed to the edge of the rocky area, less than 20 meters away from the gargoyle!

The gargoyle let out a silent roar, its claws igniting with even hotter flames, poised to pounce!

At that moment, Rolin's right hand, fingers clenched like a knife, suddenly shone with a silver-white starlight condensed to the extreme at the tip of his finger. However, it did not shoot at the gargoyle, but at a black rock half-buried in the ground below and to the side of the gargoyle, its surface riddled with holes!

【Rainbow Seiya】, extremely compressed version!

The starlight entered the hole in the rock and exploded silently!

There was no violent explosion, but the highly compressed star power, which contained the sedimentation properties of the [Silent Dust Star], instantly disrupted the already somewhat unstable energy structure inside the rock due to the sulfur mist!

"boom!"

The rocks exploded violently!

It wasn't an energy explosion, but the collapse of physical structure!

Countless pebbles shot out like shrapnel, most of them covering the area where the gargoyle was!

Caught off guard, the gargoyle was struck by a barrage of pebbles, causing its body to flicker with flames and its suspended form to become unstable, disrupting its attack rhythm!

This is the moment that Rowling has been waiting for!

His body shot through the gaps in the rubble and dust like an arrow, instantly closing in on the gargoyle!

The adamantine dagger was already in his hand, its blade swirling with condensed silver-white star power, carrying a trace of the [Quiet Dust Star]'s precipitous cutting properties, and without any fancy moves, it pierced straight into the gargoyle's chest energy core!

The gargoyle hastily parried with its burning claws.

"laugh!"

The adamantite dagger clashed with the flaming claws, producing a piercing scraping sound.

The power of stars and the energy of fire are clashing fiercely!

However, the power of [Quiet Dust Star] has a natural tendency to stabilize and decompose energy structures, and the flames on the gargoyle's claws quickly dimmed!

With a flick of his wrist, Rolin sent the short blade sliding through the gaps in the claws, precisely piercing the dark red energy core in the gargoyle's chest!

"puff!"

With its energy core pierced, the gargoyle's massive body stiffened abruptly before dissipating into countless dark red specks of light!

First goal, solved!

The entire process, from launching the charge to defeating the gargoyles, took only five or six breaths!

The shadows of the vines in the deadwood forest and the water skeletons in the water seemed to be stunned by the swift kill, their movements momentarily slowed.

Without pausing, after killing the gargoyle, Rolin used the recoil to drift backward, landing precisely on a relatively dry boulder by the river.

Their gaze was already fixed on the shadows in the deadwood forest.

The vine shadows are clearly better at stealth and ambushes, but not so good at direct combat.

Seeing Rolin's gaze sweep over, it immediately shrank back, trying to blend back into the shadows of the deadwood forest.

But would Rowling give it that chance?

The left hand pressed down again, this time targeting the damp soil mixed with rotting leaves on the ground of the dead forest!

Under the influence of the [Starflow Water Field], the soil in that area instantly became extremely slippery and muddy!

The movement of the vine shadows was immediately halted, and several main vines even sank into the suddenly softened mud!

At the same time, Luo Lin waved his right hand, and several thin, silver-white light arrows, like precise scalpels, shot towards several key vine nodes and energy flow hubs in the vine shadows!

The vine struggled to use its shadow tentacles to defend itself, but the muddy ground severely hampered its movements.

Several star arrows hit precisely, and although they did not cause great damage, the power of the [Quiet Dust Star] contained within them was like a tiny wedge, driven into the key point of its energy circuit, causing its energy flow to become sluggish and its entire body to stiffen as if it had been frozen in place for a moment!

It's this very moment!

With a burst of strength from his feet, Luo Lin leaped off the boulder like a hawk hunting its prey, swooping down on the immobile shadow of the vines!

The adamantine dagger, with its unstoppable momentum, pierced into the dark green core hidden among the many vines, which was constantly flickering!

The second goal: Solve it!

All that remained were the remains of the water.

The water skeleton seemed to sense the danger and no longer stayed in the river. Instead, it struggled to climb onto the bank, its body, made of sewage and bones, writhing as it tried to gather more powerful death energy for a final stand.

It opened its large jaws, which were made of jawbone, and a thicker, pale white mist of cold air surged out, enveloping Roland. Wherever it passed, a thin layer of frost formed on the ground.

Area-of-effect attack with slowing and freezing effects.

Rowling did not try to withstand the attack.

He quickly stepped back, while his left hand pressed against the ground again, this time targeting the loose pebbles along the riverbank!

Pulled by the power of the stars, dozens of fist-sized pebbles flew into the air, as if grabbed by an invisible hand, and then smashed down on Shui Hai!

While the cold mist spewed by the Water Skeleton can slow down energy and life forms, it has limited effect on these purely physical projectiles!

Most of the pebbles pierced through the cold mist and slammed into the water skeleton, causing its body to shake violently, splashing dirty water everywhere, and making its bones creak. The process of condensing energy was forcibly interrupted!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Lin spotted the point where the energy fluctuations were strongest, located in the area where Shui Hai's chest cavity was exposed due to the impact, protected by several intersecting ribs.

He brought his right index and middle fingers together, and the last bit of highly compressed star power condensed at his fingertips, turning into a condensed silver-white beam of light. Like a sniper bullet, it accurately pierced through the gap in his ribs and shot into that node!

【Spiral Seiya】, Spot-fire version!

The water skeleton's movements suddenly stopped.

A pale white light emanated from its body, and its entire body went limp like melting ice cream, turning into a pool of sewage and scattered bones, which then dissipated into specks of light.

The battle is over.

It took less than three minutes from the start until all three opponents were eliminated.

The entire testing hall was completely silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the young wizard who calmly sheathed his sword, his clothes spotless.

That precise, efficient, ruthless fighting style, which makes full use of the environment and its own characteristics, completely overturned their understanding of wizard combat.

This is hardly a duel between wizards; it's clearly the most elite hunters performing a surgical cleansing!

The middle-aged witch remained silent for a long time before lowering her head and writing rapidly on the record board, the pen tip almost tearing the paper.

"Practical assessment: Perfect."

With top-notch tactical thinking and exceptional adaptability, he has achieved an art-level level of skill in combining his own strength with the environment.

With meticulous energy control, his combat style is highly efficient and deadly.

Overall assessment: Exceptionally talented, with extremely rich practical experience, and seemingly has experienced numerous high-intensity life-or-death battles.

Recommendation: Immediately grant formal membership (second ring) and provide focused observation and training.

Suggested areas of expertise: Ancient Runes and Rule Structure Research Department, or Tactics and Practical Application Department.

The selection of mentors — must be discussed and decided by the senior mentor meeting.

After she finished writing, she looked up and her gaze toward Rowling was filled with undisguised admiration and a hint of inquiry.

"Wizard Rowling, your test—is outstanding."

"Please wait a moment, I need to report your assessment results immediately."

"Your apprentice Ellie's assignment has been finalized. You may report to the Department of Life and Nature Research."

"As for you—you'll probably have to wait here a little longer, or I can have someone take you to the temporary rest area first."

.

Luo Lin nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

Soon, another assistant came in and led Ellie away from the testing hall.

Before leaving, Ellie looked at Rowling questioningly, and Rowling gestured for her to go and settle in first.

Luo Lin was taken to a quiet little lounge next to the testing hall to wait.

About half an hour later, the door to the lounge was pushed open, but it wasn't the middle-aged witch who entered, but Hawke, and another old wizard whom Rowling had never seen before, wearing a dark gray robe with silver trim, with gray hair, a thin face, and eyes that seemed to see through everything.

The old wizard exuded a profound and unfathomable spiritual aura. Although he concealed it well, Rolin could sense that he was definitely a high-level wizard, probably at the fifth ring or even higher.

"Rolling, this is Master Evelyn, the scholar and head of the Council's Department of Ancient Relics and Anomalies."

Hawke explained that his tone was more formal than usual.

Master Evelyn's gaze fell on Rowling, like the most sophisticated scanner, as if she wanted to see him through inside and out.

Her eyes were sharp, with a penetrating quality honed by years of dedicated study, but they held no malice, only pure curiosity and scrutiny.

"Rolin?" Master Evelyn spoke, her voice clear and steady, like a mountain stream. "I've seen the test results, and they're very—interesting."

"Especially your insights into ancient runes and rules, and your keen intuition for energy nodes and structural weaknesses demonstrated in actual combat."

"Hawk says you possess firsthand information about the Observer civilization and the Purification Protocol?"

"Yes, Master Evelyn," Rowling replied, standing up with neither humility nor arrogance.

"Very good." Master Evelyn nodded. "Then, let's get straight to the point."

"Tell me everything you know about the Purification Protocol and the Secondary Arbiters."

"Don't omit any details, including your feelings, speculations, and—the mark on your wrist, and the amulet you use to shield it."

Her gaze landed precisely on Rolin's left wrist and the spot on his chest where he kept his amulet.
