A noun entry: Wizard

"I dare not hide it from you, Lord Russell. I had already contacted Lord Haimer when you first made your move."

The second-tier wizard gave a wry smile. "There was nothing I could do. Your commotion was quite significant. I didn't dare to investigate the situation thoroughly before making contact."

"So, Lord Russell, could you please stay here a little longer and wait for Lord Haimer to arrive?"

"It's alright," Russell nodded.

Waiting a little longer is nothing.

Judging from the speed at which the third-tier Dream Clan collects spiritual cores, they will not be able to return to the Wizard Fortress in a short period of time.

Not long after, the third-tier alien returned with the storage artifact, and Russell readily "retrieved" the other party's spiritual core.

It was also placed in the storage magic artifact.

"What... what were you doing just now?" The second-tier wizard rubbed his eyes, somewhat incredulous at Russell's earlier actions.

Did Russell completely extract the spiritual core of the Dream Clan?

To kill the Dream Clan, you must destroy their spiritual core.

There is no doubt that the third-tier Dream Clan member before us is dead.

But Russell was certain he hadn't misread Russell's action of retracting the other party's mental core.

No matter how unbelievable the situation may seem, a second-tier wizard can only believe it to be real.

Seeing the second-tier wizard's expression, Russell immediately understood what he wanted to ask, so he smiled and nodded, saying:

"Just a little trick."

"You're too modest."

The second-tier wizard also smiled, his words carrying a hint of flattery, trying to get closer to Russell.

After the two chatted for a while, an old man with white hair and beard and a thin figure arrived alone at the Dream Clan Fortress.

It was Haimer, the third-tier wizard who was stationed at the Wizard Fortress.

"I never expected that you would conquer the Dream Clan fortress all by yourself."

Haimer looked at Russell with some surprise.

This young man, when I saw him two years ago, was only a first-tier wizard with wizard bloodline.

In just a few years, he has completed the transformation into an arcane wizard, and even directly advanced to the second tier!

Even a genius shouldn't be this fast.

It's truly alarming.

"It just so happens that the spells I study are relatively effective against the Dream Clan," Russell said modestly.

"I'll need your help to arrange for a wizard to dispose of these Dream Clan corpses."

"This is a minor issue. I'll post a few quests for you and get some wizard apprentices to help."

Haimer is indifferent to the Tao.

"A wizard apprentice? Wouldn't it be too dangerous to send a wizard apprentice to the Dream Clan fortress?"

Russell paused for a moment before saying, "The Dream Clan's reinforcements might already be on their way. At that point, they'll have a hard time even escaping."

"There will be no reinforcements anytime soon."

Haimer said, "Several years have passed since you returned. The evil god that the Dream Clan king communicated with is about to descend upon the Wizarding World."

"The Dream Clan is busy inside. I estimate that once they learn that the Dream Clan fortress has been breached, they will only tighten their defenses and will not send reinforcements."

"Even if you don't come to the Dream Clan Fortress, I will still launch a major offensive after some time."

"First, we must capture this fortress, and then we can further reclaim lost territory."

At this point, Haimer looked at Russell with surprise in his eyes, but with a hint of satisfaction.

"Even I would find it difficult to withstand the witch formation that the Dream Clan stole, plus ten third-tier Dream Clan members. How did you manage to wipe out the entire Dream Clan?"

"My spells are more effective against the Dream Clan."

"Moreover, I can kill the Dream Clan while preserving their spiritual core intact."

Russell took out a complete third-order mental core and handed it to Haimer.

As a high-ranking member of the Wizarding Association and one of the seventeen third-tier elders, what hasn't he seen?

But it was precisely because he had seen it before that he was even more surprised.

"You actually managed to erase the Dream Clan's will from the core of your spirit?" Haimer practically roared!

This is even more unbelievable than a wizard destroying a Dream Clan fortress!

When it comes to the level of willpower, it's usually the domain of a fourth-tier king!

Just as Russell had guessed, the Wizard's Light was a prerequisite for comprehending the power of will.

Haimer has been studying "will" for countless years, and today he actually saw this power in a second-tier wizard?

"It's only targeting the Dream Clan."

Russell shook his head and said, "It's far from being a true force of will."

He explained the principle behind his "annihilation of the Dream Clan's will" and released the power of the spell inscriptions for Haimer to experience.

After a moment, Haimer was also speechless.

What grudge does this kid have against the Dream Clan?

They developed a spell specifically designed to counter the mental fluctuations of the Dream Clan, using the power of the soul to eliminate these fluctuations.

This kind of soul magic has no effect on other races.

Just how many Dreamfolk have that little guy Russell studied?!

However, when Haimer recalled Russell's age, he felt somewhat relieved.

Being young and highly talented certainly allows one to do whatever one wants.

They really do produce results!

Regardless of its limitations, this move is indeed an unparalleled killing move when targeting the Dream Clan.

The only problem is that this spell is a soul spell...

The entry barrier is a bit too high.

"To have developed such magic in such a short time, you probably already possess some of the legendary True Spirit Wizard's prowess."

Haimer encouraged, "Of course, even if you're not a true spirit wizard, don't be too discouraged."

"In the history of wizards, there have been great beings who, as arcane wizards, surpassed true spirit wizards."

Russell nodded.

He did not lose heart.

Because Russell himself was a true spiritualist.

The ability to research soul magic has little to do with being a true spirit wizard; it depends on individual talent in this area.

However, those with true talent generally become true spirit wizards, rather than choosing the weaker version of arcane wizards...

Haimer couldn't help but praise Russell for a long time before they returned to the Wizard's Fortress together.

He tried several times to recruit Russell, but Russell was favored by Andrei and was himself a wizard of the Arcane Tower.

Haimer belongs to the Stargazers' Hut.

So I didn't have the nerve to ask.

If Haimer were a wizard from the Arcane Tower, he would definitely swallow his pride and take Russell as his disciple first.

Andrei thinks highly of him? What good is it if he thinks highly of him? He hasn't even taken him on as a disciple.

Can a body-refining wizard not teach an arcane wizard?

What era are we living in? How can people still have such limited thinking?

Moreover, true geniuses cannot be taught.

Often, resources are provided, and in the blink of an eye, the disciple grows rapidly.

Just like Bernard's mentor, whose own research hadn't made much progress yet, before he knew it, his disciples had all reached the same level as him and become third-tier elders!

Haimer also wished he had such an easy-going disciple.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to snag one.
