Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

The silver-haired witch Emily watched the battle unfold in the distance, her eyes flashing rapidly.

She was engaged in a fierce psychological battle.

Interests, risks, conscience, survival—various weights of consideration sway wildly on the scales.

Suddenly, he spoke up: "Finker, Simon. You two take the princess and go first. I'll go and hold them off for him."

This was a decision that went against the instinct of "wizard egoism".

"Are you crazy?!"

The young wizard Fink turned his head instantly.

His face was contorted with fear and disbelief.

She looked at the silver-haired witch Emily with the eyes of someone looking at a madwoman, as if she had suddenly made this decision.

In his view, this was a pointless act of self-destruction.

"You want to go up there and die with him?"

Tracy probably didn't even use one percent of her full strength.

That was just higher-dimensional beings playing tricks on lower-dimensional beings.

Would it take a lot of force to crush a bug blocking your path?

The cruel metaphor reveals the coldest reality.

A third-ring wizard named Simon, who was standing nearby, also tried to dissuade him.

Reason told them that running away was the optimal solution, in accordance with the theory of evolution.

But before he could speak...

Unexpected changes occurred.

At that moment, a huge roar suddenly erupted from the other side.

The sound waves carried a tangible impact, causing everyone's eardrums to ache.

The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the giant Pandora's Box, which had been ignored before, had suddenly started to rampage for some unknown reason.

A small golden magic box rests atop the head of the giant magic box monster.

The box seemed to be the source of all the anomalies, the curse of Pandora.

The magic box was now emitting a brilliant golden light.

The light contained no trace of holiness, only a heavy, oppressive metallic quality.

It actually dyed the originally dark gold giant Magic Box Monster completely gold, turning it into a golden monster.

Its defensive capabilities, mass, and kinetic energy surged exponentially at this moment.

They began to actively and rapidly approach Dago and Tracy's battle group.

Each step that landed caused the earth to groan, as if it were bearing the weight of a mountain.

The situation was immediately disrupted by the intrusion of the giant Pandora's Box monster.

The fragile balance collapsed instantly.

"Click-clack-clack-clack—"

A teeth-grinding cracking sound rang out.

A restless commotion emanated from the frozen core of despair.

That was the lament of rules being torn apart.

Dago's eyes flickered slightly.

He saw flames begin to burn again on the Crimson Lotus Staff that had been sealed inside the Frozen Sphere.

The flames ignored the vacuum and the extreme cold, proclaiming their existence with an overbearing attitude.

His freezing power is cracking and weakening.

The Crimson Lotus Staff could break free from it at any moment.

"Even with the combined power of three extraordinary magical domains achieving a dual resonance, it can't be suppressed?"

Dago sighed inwardly.

It's not that he's not strong enough, but that the opponent's energy level is too high.

Although the [Peerless Ice Sealing Array] wasn't his trump card, it was still a fusion of two different magic domains.

Add a [Despair-Freezing Core].

Based on his past opponents' assessment

Calculations are based on previously established combat models.

It can at least reliably suppress beings of Igor's level.

When the power fell upon the Ash Witch Tracy before her, it seemed utterly insignificant.

"On the one hand, the Crimson Lotus Staff is a magical artifact of exceptional quality."

Its materials, runes, and core all represent the pinnacle of wizard craftsmanship.

"On the other hand, the Ash Witch is too powerful."

This is the core variable.

Judging from the mental energy fluctuations emanating from the Ash Witch.

This wizard girl, who looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, should have a mental cultivation level that is infinitely close to that of a fourth-circle miracle.

That is the critical point for a leap in the level of life.

Her spiritual power had even undergone a slight elemental transformation.

Mental energy is no longer an invisible wave, but has acquired the properties of fire.

Simply letting it fall on your body will make you feel like you're being burned by flames.

This is a kind of interference and erosion from the level of the soul.

This alone surpasses that of any Southern wizarding genius that Dago has ever seen by many times.

This is a qualitative difference that cannot be compensated for by quantity.

Among the six major wizarding forces, led by the Thunder Tower Society, the strongest among the younger generation, Gehrman, is only at the mid-stage of the third ring.

That once-celebrated prodigy, admired by countless people, now appears to be nothing more than a frog in a well.

Compared to Tracy, she is still far inferior.

This is an inevitable result of comprehensive backwardness in the environment, resources, and heritage.

The Crimson Lotus Staff within the Despair-Frozen Sphere was trembling more and more violently.

Cracks spread like a spider web, and ice shards flew everywhere.

Dago slowly pushed the frozen ball forward.

He was adjusting his distance to create space for a subsequent burst of energy.

He was already considering activating the power of his soul seal, [Winter Star], which had been modified using the mysteries of space.

Or perhaps it's the fusion of the three domains, namely, [Beheilite's Death Gaze].

His strength has increased dramatically in the past three years, and even he doesn't know what level of combat power he has reached now.

He was like a balloon that was constantly being inflated, desperately needing a needle to test his limits.

Tracy is incredibly strong and a formidable opponent.

She is the best touchstone.

It can be used to verify his various methods.

Let those conjectures that only exist in theory and experiment be tested in real combat.

This can also be seen as another preparation for the upcoming "Isidore Wizards Seat Battle".

The path of a wizard is one of either progress or regression; only in the midst of the great terror of life and death can one glimpse a corner of the truth.

However, at that moment, a huge explosion suddenly rang in my ears.

The sound was like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, the air being compressed and burst open in an instant.

Dago suddenly looked up.

A breathtaking golden hue was captured on my retina.

All that could be seen was a short, golden leg, as thick as a small mountain, tearing through the air.

It was accompanied by a terrifying, rolling rumble of thunder.

That was a sonic boom cloud caused by supersonic movement.

A massive, sweeping kick came crashing down on him.

This kick is enough to shatter mountains and sever rivers.

In an instant, Dago felt that the entire sky before him was nothing but a brilliant golden color.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound, like crystal falling to the ground.

The multi-layered, unparalleled frozen sphere shattered instantly.

At that moment, a crimson lotus staff, burning fiercely, also broke free.

It was like a dragon freed from its cage, its flames raging with imprisoned fury, swelling to a height of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

The two forces, one on the left and one on the right, formed a combined attack.

On one side is absolute physical dominance, and on the other side is extreme incineration at the elemental level.

They attacked Dago almost simultaneously.

Dago didn't have time to react.

Layers of living silver ice adhered to the entire body.

This is an instinctive defense; the living silver ice instantly hardens, forming the most primitive armor.

He pushed his hands outwards, and endless frost gathered.

A huge ice crystal energy shield was quickly erected.

It was a composite defensive shield made up of countless hexagonal ice crystals.

However, in the next instant, it was engulfed by crimson and golden colors.
