Wizard Immortal

Chapter 166 One Year

"Give it a try..."

In the spacious laboratory, Adir murmured, and then, with a thought, a bit of magic power was instantly activated.

On the surface, a faint force field appeared on his body, looking like an extra protective shield, with collision reactions of energy particles on it.

As Adir intended, the protective shield on the surface burst into flames the next moment, engulfing Adir in a sea of ​​fire with an intense heat.

"As expected, the solidified spell is like one's own talent. Not only does it not require mana to activate, but it is also more flexible and powerful than the original!"

Feeling the changes in his body, Adir's face lit up with joy.

For wizards, solidified spells are the most important. Because after solidifying a spell, not only can a spell be directly transformed into one's own talent, but it can also be used more flexibly.

If I had to give an example, it would be the difference between a tool and one's own arm.

While external tools can certainly help you achieve your goals, they are not only stiff to use, but also require more effort to operate. How can they possibly be as free and effortless as using your own arms?

"Take the Distortion Barrier spell as an example. If it is used as a regular spell, it will be effective, but it is just a defensive spell with decent power. It is nothing special."

Adir smiled: "But once it's solidified, the power of magic becomes instinctive, and it becomes much more flexible."

With a thought, the protective shield in front of Adir began to transform. Its structure changed, and the fire energy particles that originally filled it slowly receded, transforming back into the original thin, transparent shield before disappearing completely.

Of course, this is only the surface. In reality, the protection provided by the distortion barrier still exists, but it is covered on the surface of Adir and is difficult for others to detect.

This state is more concealed, making it difficult for others to detect the protective gear on the body, and it consumes almost no resources, only reducing the defensive power slightly.

If the spell is activated at full power, while the defensive power increases, the surface shield will also be completely exposed, allowing others to discover it and losing its concealment.

After roughly assessing the changes brought about by the innate spell, Adir turned his attention to the changes in his body.

Before his eyes, a massive stream of data was constantly converging, eventually transforming into a three-dimensional human-shaped image.

From this image, every muscle and every tiny organ in Adir's body can be found, with many areas marked in red and green to indicate their different functions.

The red areas represent the changes that occur after a candidate becomes a full-fledged wizard, while the green areas represent the parts that are currently undergoing changes.

The transformation of life is not instantaneous; it always requires an adaptation period for the body to complete this change. This period of bodily adaptation is, in fact, the transformation period after a wizard's advancement.

"I feel like I'm becoming less and less like a normal person."

Looking at his own body structure and comparing it to that of an ordinary person, Adir sighed with emotion.

Whether knight or wizard, in the process of becoming stronger, they will gradually change their physical structure, making themselves different from ordinary humans.

This change wasn't very noticeable when he was a Grand Knight or a Third-Class Apprentice; it was merely an optimization of certain parts of his body.

However, this becomes much more apparent when one becomes a formal wizard. Not only is their original structure optimized, but they also show signs of growing new organs. Although they are still considered human, they are fundamentally different from ordinary humans.

After a while, with a creak, Adir gently opened the tightly locked laboratory door.

As the door opened, sunlight streamed in, causing Adir to momentarily lose his composure and appear somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Bonnie was standing at the gate when she saw Adir emerge. She quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Lord Adir!"

"Um."

Hearing the voice, Adir glanced at the little girl in front of him and asked, "How long have I been inside?"

Bonnie's heart skipped a beat when Adir glanced at her, as if she were being stared at by some terrifying beast.

This feeling came quickly and went quickly. Looking at Adir before her, she barely managed to suppress the sudden palpitation in her heart: "My lord, it's been five days."

"Has it been five days already?"

Adir was taken aback, then said, "Go to the kitchen and give the order to prepare a sumptuous lunch for me."

"Yes!" Bonnie nodded upon hearing the order and quickly went downstairs.

Soon, in the clean and bright restaurant, a variety of sumptuous dishes were laid out, filling a wooden table.

Adir didn't stand on ceremony and started eating right away.

Having just been promoted to a formal wizard, his body was not only weak but also in a period of transformation, which was exactly when he needed food to replenish his energy.

Although drinking some potions could achieve the same effect, since there was plenty of food to enjoy, Adir naturally didn't want to suffer that pain.

Before long, amidst the somewhat surprised gazes of the servants, Adir finished all the dishes on the table before leaving the restaurant and, accompanied by Sidham and the others, strolled around the manor.

As he walked, Adir pondered his next plans.

"According to the information found in the academy, after becoming a formal wizard, if one wants to take another step forward, in addition to continuing to increase mental strength, one also needs to purify mental strength."

Thinking about the information on formal wizards, Adir frowned: "Putting aside improving mental power, although difficult, at least there is a clear direction. But as for mental power purification, I can't find any information on that. It must have been blocked by the academy's higher-ups."

Valuable knowledge involving formal wizards has always been monopolized by powerful wizarding organizations. Even in wizarding academies, it should be information that only formal wizards can access personally.

"This is a bit troublesome..."

Thinking of this, Adir frowned: "It seems I still need to find a way to return to the wizarding world and find some wizarding organizations."

"And it's time to fulfill Ms. Edith's request."

In the blink of an eye, he thought of this matter again.

When Edith sponsored Adir, she asked him to make a promise that after he became a formal wizard, he would go to the Maison region to find a wizarding family called Yar and take care of them.

Adir has no intention of breaking this promise.

Even setting aside the help he'd received all along, and the resources he'd been given to advance to a full-fledged wizard, Edith herself had treated him very well, so helping him within her means was only natural.

It was merely helping to look after a declining wizarding family; for Adir, who had now become a formal wizard, it was no big deal.

Having made his decision, Adir closed his eyes and felt the changes deep within his soul.

Deep within the soul, two dim gates of light floated silently. Sensing Adir's thoughts, the gates trembled slightly, transmitting a message back.

"It will take another six months or so to build up energy..." Adir muttered to himself, standing still.

After being promoted to a formal wizard, the speed at which his soul energy accumulated undoubtedly increased again, reaching a level that even surprised Adir.

Now, if you want to come from the Wizarding World to the Post-Apocalyptic World, even starting from scratch, it only takes a year.

As for that unknown world, the time required is also greatly reduced, only needing to accumulate energy for about six or seven years.

This cooling speed, though still slow, is at least not as difficult as before, which is undoubtedly good news for Adir.

"From now on, it will take about half a year to return to the original world, which will be just enough time for me to complete the transformation period of becoming a formal wizard."

Adir thought to himself, "It's time to ramp up our exploration of this world while we have this time!"

He looked up at the road in the distance, his face calm, thinking to himself.

Beside him, Sidham and the others stood behind him, quietly guarding him.

······················

Time flies, and soon a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On a flat training field, a loud noise rang out from all around.

There were several people in training uniforms, each holding a longsword, rushing towards the center of the training field.

In the center of the training ground, a handsome young man holding a black longsword stood calmly watching the approaching attackers, his expression unchanged.

bump!bump!

Almost instantly, several muffled thuds came from the training ground, and several people were immediately knocked out and fell heavily to the ground.

However, taking advantage of this gap, the others rushed forward, led by Sidm, charging fiercely towards Adir in front.

Their movements were no match for Adir's speed. Soon, several more people were sent flying, leaving only Sidem still holding on.

"Lord Adir is so fast!"

Picking up his longsword that had been knocked away, he sat in a corner of the training ground, looking at Adir in front of him, and sighed.

"I wonder how many more moves Sidham can last."

"That depends on what Lord Adir thinks."

Beside him, Lati picked up her sword and sat down as well, intently watching the fight ahead: "Maybe there'll be a surprise?"

"You mean?" Standing to the side, listening to this, the blond-haired Stein seemed to be deep in thought, and his gaze on the fight in front of him became even more focused.

Cheers! !

A loud shout flashed past from the front.

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of those around him, Sidem roared, a green light flashing across his longsword as he poured all his life energy into it, and slashed fiercely at Adir.

This sword strike was extremely fast, carrying a chilling wind as it was swung, creating a green sword light in the surrounding space that inspired fear.

However, this fierce sword strike was easily blocked in the end, and it didn't even seem like much effort was required. With just a light press, all the power on the sword was completely neutralized.

The next moment, a tremendous impact came from his body, and before Sidham could react, he was sent flying.
