Wizard's Journey

Chapter 686 Third-Level Archmage

With its flesh expanding almost without limit, a terrifying giant with a body ten meters tall appeared.

Bone spurs and bone armor mixed with scales, coarse black hair covering its entire body, its upper body looks like a giant ball, its tangled and ferocious muscles are full of wildness and power, its messy long hair hangs upside down behind it, its fangs are exposed, its cheekbones are prominent, it is bloodthirsty and brutal, and its lower body has relatively short legs, but is incredibly stable.

This image, resembling a ferocious giant ape, is actually the most primitive human figure described in some ancient wizarding texts—a savage!

The first layer is the savage instinct of scales and armor, the second layer is the savage instinct of ivory armor, and the third layer is the savage instinct of a barbaric giant. Waves of power ripple outwards from Grimm, as if the air itself is being compressed into sonic booms. An unbelievable aura of power is being released, incredibly violent.

"Eeeeeeeeee, the hurricane is coming..."

"What is that...?"

The spirits of the rain and dew flowers cried out, as if they had encountered an extremely severe and disastrous weather event, with a fierce wind sweeping through.

When Grimm activated his third level of savage instincts, he transformed into a ten-meter-tall savage giant. The unintentional airflow he stirred up felt like an apocalyptic disaster to these small creatures.

"This power amplification, this fighting instinct, this explosive force is simply unbelievable."

Crack! Crack! The savage giant clenched his fist, his brutal eyes beneath his sunken brow bone brimming with excitement. With a satisfied, low laugh, he casually waved his hand, and a vast expanse of colorful neon light enveloped him. His body began to blur, gradually disappearing as the light distorted.

This was because Grimm did not want to cause too much chaos in his world laboratory and affect the normal reproduction and life of the Raindrop Flower Spirits, so he left the laboratory silently.

"Huh!? Young Master, is this your ancestral bloodline witchcraft?"

When the savage giant, formed from Grimm's third level of wild instinct, appeared in the Demon Hunter Laboratory, Xiao Ba reacted immediately, appearing out of thin air on the giant's shoulder and asking in surprise.

"No, the bloodline magic of the Ancestor of Humanity can assist in the autonomous change of the direction of cell evolution and life evolution, and perfectly fuse and evolve any bloodline."

The savage giant turned to look at the Thousand-Eyed Crab and the Mysterious Thousand-Headed Bird, and a primal urge to tear these two creatures apart and devour them alive rose within him!

It seems that the influence of the blood of the progenitor of mankind is indeed present.

Green's body gradually began to shrink. After a wave of dizziness and weakness, he barely managed to stay upright by leaning on the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff. His face beneath the Mask of Truth was somewhat pale, and an irresistible hunger surged through every cell in his body.

"Labun, quickly prepare some high-energy food for me!"

After saying that, Green continued, "This is because the blood of the human ancestor accidentally affected the evolutionary direction under the crack in the life code, opening the third layer of wild instinct."

"Hehehe, I just want to know, young master, have you successfully advanced to the third-level Grand Wizard yet!"

Green chuckled softly, "Of course!"

Now, every cell in Green seems to have broken through a layer of mental growth shackles, bringing an indescribable joy.

Look at this world!

Those ordinary lives believe they live in a real world of time, unaware that they are merely experiencing a frozen moment of apparent time, and the biologically evolved brain connects these images to form a seemingly natural world within the brain.

In fact?

In real time, every second there are eighteen basic moments of time passing, causing the scene to jump around.

In that hidden time of seventeen-eighteenths of a second, the threads of time flowed silently, influencing the endless world as part of its fundamental rules.

Although Green has touched the tail of the thread of time during his passive evolution, he has not yet reached the half-step time stage of three-eighteenths of a second, or one-sixth of a second.

Now, every second, Green can clearly feel his world go through a period of darkness, as the threads of time relentlessly drive the endless changes of the world.

This darkness was the passage of those five-sixths of a second that Green didn't perceive.

……

Four years later.

Using his talent for loneliness and fear as a nightmare wizard, Green raised his mental power to the limit of 300 points of mental power of a level three great wizard in just four years in the Seven Rings Holy Tower, a place where many wizards gathered, and thus became a true level three great wizard!

What would be four years for an ordinary creature is equivalent to twelve years for Green Half Step Time, because he made better use of his time!

Crackling sounds!

Black arcs of electricity tore at the distorted light from all directions. Beneath the Mask of Truth, Grimm's eyes were cold. He pushed his dynamic vision to its limit, calculating how far the World Garment's rule arc could release the annihilation it carried after the clash of ice and fire powers for three-eighteenths of a second as he advanced to the third level of the Great Wizard.

"Thirty-five meters!"

As the black arc of electricity flashed and disappeared, a hint of joy appeared in Green's eyes.

Thirty-five meters—while still close-range magic for a level three archmage, it's no longer the "close-quarters magic" that Green used to have, which was only a little over ten meters away.

If Grimm can complete the energy cycle of true time, theoretically the World Garment's rule arc will no longer be hindered by the time interval, but rather it will be a matter of the wizard's own ability to control it.

"A 5900-degree attack!"

After calculating the power of his previous devastating attack, Green nodded as expected and silently began to consider his attack principles and potential for improvement.

With 300 points of mental energy, Green, as a level three archmage, could mobilize about one-seventh, or about 45 points of mental energy.

After extremely careful and meticulous calculations, the leverage that the Annihilation Force can leverage is approximately 125 times. Therefore, after a series of enhancements from the Green Magic Artifact and considering the energy loss due to distance, the power of a single strike of the Annihilation Force will likely fluctuate between 5,500 and 6,000 degrees.

Being in the laboratory at this time, a score of 5,900 is naturally to be expected.

As for room for improvement...

For the time being, Green has not yet figured out how to manipulate the elemental structure within the power of annihilation to adjust it and thus leverage a higher multiplier attack bonus.

The only thing Green could think of was to transform himself into an elemental surge body-training wizard, using mental power and physical body as dual fulcrums to better integrate the power of annihilation with physical strength.

but!

Even with his current strength, among the third-level archmages in the wizarding world at this moment, apart from a very few special demon-hunting archmages who are the foundation of the Holy Tower, Green is already fearless and has the ability to roam the endless world alone and adapt to all kinds of sudden dangers and strange rules.
