Wizard's Journey

Chapter 393 The Second Layer of Wild Instinct

Dila's Dead Soul Armor?

Temporarily grant these metal mechanical devices elemental abilities!

It's important to understand that one of the biggest reasons why modern elemental wizards have gradually abandoned combining with ancient mechanical magic is the conflict between mechanical assistance and the elemental body.

Grimm was surprised. He casually swung his ram-horned skull magic staff, which landed squarely on Dira's metal longsword.

A gray, deadly flame followed the longsword, seemingly about to coil around the ram-horned skull magic staff, but it scattered into specks of gray light under a high-density elemental shockwave.

With a "whoosh," Green was hit by a tremendous force and was involuntarily thrown backward a distance in the air.

By activating the full power of his internal mechanical devices to enhance his physical constitution, and using the flames of the dead soul for assistance, he caused a short-term burst of physical strength, transforming a pure elemental wizard into a body-refining wizard.

call out!call out!

Two beams of energy-storing, disintegrating light shot out.

With incredible agility, Green sidestepped several steps, easily dodging the two disintegrating beams that seemed to be just a hair's breadth away from hitting him.

This is the art of combat for demon hunters who walk the line between life and death, while for arcane wizards, it requires expending magic to use other spells or elemental teleportation to evade.

With a "poof," scattered metal machinery and a shower of ice crystals followed.

However, when Dila regrouped, the longsword in her hand suddenly liquefied into metal, transforming into a spear that burned with raging deathly flames and thrust straight at Grin.

Just as the ram's horn and skull magic staff were about to meet the attack, Green suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively activated the first level of his Wild Instinct.

"First level of wild instinct, activate!"

Its body was covered with dense black scales, exuding a cold metallic texture. Its body was thinner and longer, full of wildness and violence, and its physical speed had also increased significantly.

He leaned back with incredible speed and agility, dodging a blue ray of light.

His body was making extremely difficult and uncoordinated movements, and his gaze was slightly turned to the side beneath the mask of truth.

With a buzzing sound.

The long golden hair behind her was swept by a horizontal blue ray. With a "buzz", the golden hair illuminated by the blue light scattered ice crystals and broke off.

This was actually a high-intensity cutting magic similar to the one that Green had used, which combined repulsive force with water jets and lightning.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump...

Green Fire Mother's Ice Blast spell was triggered, and a large number of ice spikes shot towards Dira. These exploding ice spikes were formed by the clash of ice and fire elements, and their power, enhanced by the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff, was enough to reach a thousand degrees!

Ding!

On one side, the ram's horn-shaped magic staff blocked the spear, and a large number of dead soul flames that tried to wrap around the magic staff scattered and flew away. At the same time, with the blessing of the first level of Wild Instinct transformation, Green's strength had surpassed that of Dila in the Dead Soul Armor. With a muffled groan, Dila was forced to retreat backward.

On the other hand, there was the counterattack of the Grimm's exploding ice spikes. Amidst the continuous explosions of "bang, bang, bang, bang," a semi-transparent defensive shield rippled and then shattered.

"This defensive shield..."

As Green watched Dira retreat, he was reminded of the pale mask he wore during his time as a wizard apprentice.

This defensive shield looks similar to the Wizard's Shield, but it is only a targeted defensive ability and has no effect on energy that is not recorded by the shield.

Of course, its advantage is that it can be effective against any creature at any time, and it seems to be a cutting-edge field that the Dawn Wisdom Organization and Arcane Wizards have been researching and developing in private over the years.

"Wild instincts? You're actually a wild body-refining wizard, and also an elemental wizard who cultivates wild body refinement?"

Dila was surprised.

According to the wizarding theory of the arcane wizards, just as a demon hunter wizard's prayer to condense a wizard's shield is incompatible with his long-term research into the truth and mystery, the need to constantly walk on the edge of danger and death to unlock the wild instincts is also in conflict with the rational and calm elemental wizard.

Now that Grimm has unleashed his wild instincts as an elemental wizard, it may not seem like much to the demon hunter wizards with their boundless worldview, and can only be attributed to Grimm's personal research area. However, to Dira, whose vision is limited to the traditional rules of the wizarding world, it is simply unacceptable.

"Green..."

Yaz has gradually recovered from his weakness, and a ball of pure dark element is slowly forming the shape of a monster's head at the top of his magic wand, with fangs clearly visible.

"Good luck! This is the last thing I can do to help you, Shadow Spell!"

With a roar, the monster's head transformed into countless strands of dark element and vanished. Then, without looking back, Yatz dispersed the elemental-activated creatures and rushed towards the giant bird in the distance, flying towards the Ivory Castle Wizard Academy without turning his head.

Without Az sharing the natural power suppression of Dira, Green suddenly felt the pressure on his body increase, and the natural power he could mobilize was reduced by more than half. Layer upon layer of natural power around him was constantly squeezing him.

"Um?"

Dila suddenly cried out in alarm as his body transformed into a shower of ice flowers and thousands of mechanical parts. Even after he reformed, he could not avoid the downward sinking of his body.

"It's not gravity magic! Could it be a curse spell?"

Dila speculated with suspicion, and after the mechanical gear in her right eye rotated to near its limit, she finally noticed some anomalies in her own shadow.

"So this is where it is."

Standing on the ground, Dila frantically mobilized her elemental power. The natural forces in the sky seemed to converge on Dila like a funnel, while at the same time, a large amount of dark elemental mist in the shadow beneath her feet was dispelled.

Roar!

The giant lava sword in the Flame Giant's hand had been fully assembled once more, and it roared as it descended from the sky, with rolling waves of fire spreading outwards, like a fiery cloud falling from the horizon.

As Dila dispelled the dark elements in the shadows, she raised her left hand, and an energy cannon filled with ice elemental energy erupted.

boom!

Lava and ice flowers splashed everywhere, and large amounts of water vapor filled the air. However, the towering lava giant's incomparably tall body still landed unstoppably beside Dira. Its huge, howling maw opened, and a ball of crimson fire shot out.

The intense heat and heatwave from the fireball caused Dila's hair and wizard robes to become somewhat disheveled.

"snort!"

Dila gave a cold snort.

It would be unwise to fight this behemoth head-on, but at this moment, he was unable to dodge flexibly due to the dark elemental magic in the shadows. In desperation, he let out a cold snort and took out a delicate little bottle from his sleeve.

"Thunder Purification".

After a series of crackling thunderclaps, on one side, Dila's wizard robe was charred black after she dodged the crimson fireball, while on the other side, the Flame Giant was instantly riddled with holes.

Thunder Purification Technique!

This wasn't the first time Green had witnessed elemental purification magic.

As elemental beings as diverse as flesh and blood creatures, wizards, during their long demon-hunting expeditions, developed an elemental purification technique that was extremely effective against elemental beings.

Even during his time as a wizard apprentice, Grimm had been targeted by a wizard apprentice who cast the spell on him.

However, the practice of purification magic is also very complicated, and its limitations are too great, so few wizards will study it for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Dila actually possessed a bottle of consumables for casting this kind of witchcraft, and it seemed to be of extremely high quality.

The mental framework inside the ravaged Flame Giant was already in disarray, and continuing to maintain it would only be a waste of magic. Grimm casually dispelled it, and then his agile and violent body, wielding the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff, smashed down on it!

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump...

Dila's spear in his right hand transformed into a short axe once again, and he passively defended himself time and time again. Although he was constantly attacked by Green, he was only superficially suppressed.

"Hmph! How much magic do you have left? Your Wild Transformation has a time limit. Once it's over and you're weakened, you won't even have the chance to escape. What will you do then? Become my prisoner?"

Although Dila kept sneering on the surface, her heart felt like it was bleeding.

This wizard Grimm is truly powerful, far surpassing a first-level wizard. He was able to fight a second-level wizard to a draw, a level that I myself could never have reached before.

Such a genius wizard should have belonged to Lilith Hut Wizarding Academy! A member of the Ming Wizarding School!

But now... he's fighting with her to protect the interests of the dark wizards, making Dila's resentment towards her past dereliction of duty even more irreconcilable.

Huff, huff...

Green paused his attack, struggling to draw magic from his demon-hunting weaponry to maintain the repulsive force field and support the protective layer that was compressing the natural forces around him.

If it weren't for the endless stream of amazing magic power provided by the demon hunters, Green would probably have already run out of magic power.

"Hmph, have you reached your limit?"

The mechanical gears in one of Dira's eyes were spinning rapidly, while the mirror on her other eye had several cracks, shattered by the unintentional impact during the battle.

Beneath the mask of truth, a pair of eyes filled with both ice and fire tried to calm down, and Grimm suddenly took a deep breath.

"It seems that in this state, fighting a level two wizard is still a bit too much of a stretch, so..."

Green clenched his fist tightly!

"Wild Instinct Level Two, activate!"

Suddenly, Dila's pupils contracted beneath the mirror, and even the mechanical gears of her other eye paused for a moment in disbelief.

The second level of wild instinct!?

To Dila's disbelief, Green's body began to swell, gradually transforming into a three-meter-tall giant. Grayish-white bone spurs began to emerge from his black scales, each ranging from twenty to thirty centimeters in length, with a dark, swirling aura of flames emanating from the tips of the spurs.

A violent aura permeated the air, like a giant beast gradually awakening from its slumber.

Green remained motionless, yet with each breath he took, ripples seemed to spread outwards, revealing the overwhelming pressure of a higher level of life than ordinary people.

Although Green, who had undergone his second wild transformation, still did not reach the physical standard of a level two wizard, he was not far off.

However, this only reflects the fact that his physical attributes haven't reached the level required for a Level Two Wizard. If we take into account the actual combat power provided by Green's various powerful support abilities...

Perhaps his own defensive capabilities had become too strong, or perhaps Green had completely given up using elemental magic, and he could no longer catch up with any of the elemental pressure around him.

"Dila...Master!"

Green, who had transformed into a giant bone spike, raised his head. One moment he was dozens of meters away, and the next he suddenly appeared in front of Dira, slamming down the ram-horned nightmare magic staff.

boom!

The elemental shockwave stirred up dust tens of meters high, the earth trembled, and a group of wizard apprentices on the flying carpet on the ground a kilometer away screamed, covered their ears, and fell to the ground.

After a while, the dust gradually settled.

Green, his bone spurs swirling with a dark, ominous aura, stood in a giant crater thirty meters in diameter. His ram-horned skull magic staff, like a giant hammer, rested on his shoulder as he watched the retreating figure of the disheveled wizard Dila in the distance, without moving again.
