Wizard's Journey

Chapter 170 Wizard's Cover

Wizard's Will!

For every demon hunter wizard, the most important thing in cultivating the wizard's shield is the wizard's will, which is the most crucial condition for cultivating the wizard's shield.

It is precisely this condition of the wizard's will that prevents orthodox scholars of the Dark Realm of the wizarding world, as well as dark wizards who study the mysteries of death, from ever cultivating the Wizard's Barrier.

However, the Wizard's Gaze is a very contradictory existence for elemental wizards who pursue the truth and knowledge of rules, because it is not a wizard's basic knowledge that can leverage the rules, but something akin to mysticism.

The wizard's cloak is very special.

First of all, for creatures from another world, the Wizard's Shield's powerful and comprehensive defense is simply the strongest defensive shield for a Witcher Wizard! As long as the original space fortress of the Wizarding World remains intact, a Witcher Wizard with the Wizard's Shield is practically a human being with the most solid tortoise shell, and their individual strength is practically a nightmare for creatures from another world.

however……

Secondly, the Wizard's Shield can only materialize when it possesses the original will of the Wizarding World, and its defensive capabilities against other creatures in the Wizarding World are much weaker.

In other words, the wizard's shield is not as powerful as it seems for certain enemies in the wizarding world, while dark wizards and marine creatures are the most authentic creatures in the wizarding world.

This also means that many witch hunters did not become beings similar to the "divine apostles" in legendary novels.

Finally, the method of cultivating the Wizard's Gauntlet is a form of prayer!

The witcher divides a portion of their soul, which is then absorbed by a material called the Astrological Stone. This stone is then given to the guardian of the wizarding world and placed within the heart of the world. This creates a magical aura around the witcher wherever the original will of the wizarding world resides. Through years of prayer, the witcher imagines themselves as an organ, a cell, of the wizarding world, willing to dedicate everything to it.

As the witcher's will becomes more and more devout, the strength of the witch's shield will become stronger and stronger.

These feel like a mix of world guardians.

They possess the special ability of World Guardians to obtain the world's protection. Although it is only passive protection and they are not able to control the chains of law, they can still leave the wizarding world without restrictions, and even leave the areas affected by the original will.

It is precisely because of the strange cultivation method of the Wizard's Cover that the Dark Wizard, who is also a wizard, is unable to cultivate at all.

While the Wizard's Gaze is extremely important to all Demon Hunter Wizards, it runs counter to the wizards' pursuit of profound knowledge. Therefore, the Holy Tower institutions do not mandate the cultivation of the Wizard's Gaze. In fact, a very small number of elite Demon Hunter Wizards do not cultivate the Wizard's Gaze at all.

Wasting precious time praying to gain a limited ability is something that top-tier, elite witch hunters with a long-term vision would never sacrifice the essential for the trivial.

According to Green's way of thinking, the Wizard's Shield is, for Green, an enhanced version of the Pale Mask defensive shield during his rookie phase.

Green would also not spend a lot of time praying to solidify the strength of the Wizard's Shield, because such an act completely contradicts the enormous amount of time required to study the knowledge of annihilation energy!

However, as a top-tier wizard apprentice, Grimm obtained a fragment of the Heart of the World. Due to the limited and super-strong defensive capabilities of the Wizard's Shield, if Grimm wanted to better protect himself during the early stages of the "Otherworld Development War" and provide a time basis for the next stage of annihilation energy research, he would have to appropriately come into contact with the mysterious magic of the Wizard's Shield.

The degree adjustment involved certainly requires careful consideration from Green.

Holding the astrological stone, Green hesitated, wondering whether he should place it on the Altar of the Four Seasons.

If an astrological stone contains the split soul of a Witcher, then it will be the strongest physical information revealed by the Witcher. Therefore, all Witcher astrological stones in the Holy Tower mechanism that wish to cultivate the Wizard's Shield have the strictest protection measures to ensure that they will never be revealed.

Once Grimm places his Soul Astrological Stone into the Altar of the Four Seasons, it will be directly teleported to the World Guardian and then integrated into the Heart of the Wizarding World.

Because splitting one's soul is one of the wizards' weaknesses and lifelines, if it falls into the hands of other wizards with ill intentions, it will easily be attacked by the most intense curses. Therefore, it is almost impossible for something like the soul knowledge inheritance from the crystal ball that Grimm obtained during the novice trial to occur in a normalized trading manner.

After a long period of contemplation and silence, Green made his decision.

After inspecting the defenses of the Dark Witcher's side hall, Green stood quietly in front of the Four Seasons Altar in the center of the room, holding the astrological stone and closing his eyes.

The magical energy in his body fluctuated like his breathing.

As time passed and his breathing became increasingly turbulent, Grimm suddenly roared, his closed eyes snapping open, his face turning deathly pale. In the vision of the Wizard's Eye, a gray spark was enveloped in magic and absorbed by the Astrological Stone.

After a few breaths, Green's dizziness subsided, and his complexion returned to normal, somewhat similar to the process of subduing the soul slave.

If Grimm were to throw this separated soul flame into the Altar of the Four Seasons, it would be lost forever. However, if it were a soul servant, the wizard could reclaim the soul flame seed that belonged to him for a short period after the soul servant's death.

With a thud, Green placed the astrological stone on the Four Seasons Altar.

Ok?

The instant Green placed the astrological stone on the altar of the four seasons, he vaguely sensed two chains of rules representing spring and winter sweeping over and firmly protecting the astrological stone, as if some kind of wondrous ritual had been performed.

Green could only vaguely sense the springtime chain of rules through the power of nature, but the wintertime chain of rules made him think of the wizard guardian on the rift in the heart of the world at the end of the lever of fate... and that little snowflake with curved eyelashes.

Are there only two guardians of that level of power in the Wizarding World?

A slight fluctuation in the rules of fate caused the astrological stone on the Altar of the Four Seasons to disappear, and at the same time, Green suddenly felt a strange and unknown instinct.

Flowers and grass on the ground, insects chirping among the branches and leaves, tadpoles and shrimp in the streams, towering trees in the boundless forest, cheetahs leaping through the woods, giant sea monsters in the deep ocean, and human wizards coming and going...

Is this the life force of the wizarding world?

hum!

Naturally, a transparent defensive shield emerged around Green's body. This shield had no elemental energy attributes; it represented the wizard's will.

In a moment of surprise and excitement, Green closed his eyes and touched the wizard's hood with one hand, when suddenly his face darkened.

"Huh? Only 1-3 degrees of defense? Even in another world, based on the amplification ratio of a wizard's shield, it would only be around 2-4 degrees. If a demon hunter wizard doesn't use willpower prayer to strengthen and solidify it, this kind of wizard's shield is practically a useless decoration..."

Shaking his head, Green suddenly felt a surge of energy in his soul.

This fluctuation was caused by the wondrous energy of the Heart of the World merging into Green's soul when he advanced to become a formal wizard. Now, it was activated by Green, instantly resonating with some aspects of the fundamental will of the wizarding world.

Perfectly natural, the Green Wizard's Gauntlet solidified countless times with a crisp "bang".

Once again, Green closed his eyes and touched the wizard's hood with his hand, carefully feeling it, and even took out a crystal ball to help him observe.

After a good half hourglass period, Green opened his eyes.

"The strongest defensive barrier is 633 degrees. After being enhanced in the other world, it might reach around 800 degrees, and it could even surpass 1000 degrees when near a space fortress. However, if I were to maintain this level of wizard's shield continuously, even if I reached 100 points of mental strength and possessed the corresponding magic power in the future, I would probably only be able to maintain it for the duration of an hourglass. If I were to actively lower the defensive barrier, the duration could be extended..."

Green has realized that, in addition to being a decisive reward for advancing to a full-fledged wizard, the peak wizard apprentices who obtain the fragments of the Heart of the World will also be better able to protect these potential wizards during their time as novice demon hunters.

Perhaps the defensive bonus of other top wizard apprentices' wizard shields is not as exaggerated as Grimm's, but it should still be around 200 to 400 degrees. If they were in another world and further enhanced by the defensive performance of the wizard shields, as long as the demon hunter wizard still has magic power, ordinary level one creatures would have no chance against these elite demon hunter wizards with turtle shells on their heads.

Green's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and his pupils lost focus.

"Setting up a wizard's shield inevitably consumes a wizard's magic power. Given a level one wizard's natural magic regeneration level, maintaining a shield between 100 and 180 degrees should be a perfect balance, depending on the wizard's talent and development path. In this respect, the fact that the Pale Mask can maintain a basic defense of 20 degrees without any consumption is perhaps worth studying in the future..."

Ok?

Green seemed to have thought of something again.

"The Demon Hunter Trading Area in the Seventh Ring of the Underground Ant Nest Plaza of the Tree of Life, the function of that Demon Hunter Armor is to extend the duration of the Wizard's Shield beyond its range? No wonder it's called Demon Hunter Armor. In the wizarding world, only Demon Hunter Wizards generally practice the Wizard's Shield. And the greatest function of this set of specially made wizard equipment from the Holy Tower is to continuously provide magical support, quickly converting the magic stones embedded in it into magical power that is easy for wizards to absorb."

A low-level demon hunter's weapon only requires ten witch essences, among which six mid-level magic stones can be inlaid to increase magic power by about 4000 points, which is four times the total magic power of 100 points of mental power.

Five hourglasses later, Grimm, who had purchased low-level demon hunter weapons in the underground ant nest plaza space, flew towards the demon hunter castle.

低级魔石按照黑索塔巫师学院第一节课依莲导师试验中7度计算，中级魔石是100倍，就是700度，700乘以6是4200度。

These so-called degrees are not attack degrees, but rather the overall degree of continuous magic transformation. The numbers represent only imaginary numbers within a certain scope, and are only for scoped and theoretical reference.
