Wizard's Journey

Chapter 732 A Thin Line

Argomond, having unlocked the fourth level of his Wild Instinct and transformed into an Ancient Dragon Giant, possessed unprecedented power.

With each step the four giant claws under its feet took, the cracks spread like a spider web. After the claws left, they emitted black smoke and turned a charred red. The power naturally released by the ancient dragon giant alone had reached this level!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Standing over fifty meters tall, on par with the mechanical giant Holmz, the ancient dragon giant transformed from Agmond suddenly felt its four giant claws being sucked away by the magnetic field formed by the metal cloak the moment it stepped into the area.

Click, click, click...

A long, segmented metallic tail, wreathed in pale blue sparks, coiled over, crackling with electrical arcs. The second miniature destructive cannon attack from the metal giant's chest was charging up.

The ancient dragon giant, with its fifty-meter-long body, was trying to dodge the long metal tail when it suddenly noticed the miniature sphere of the "Little Fatty" mechanical puppet rushing in from the side, blocking its escape route.

This inconspicuous little sphere suddenly brought the ancient dragon giant to a sudden stop, and the next moment it was wrapped up by the long metal tail.

Crackling sounds!

The pale blue arc of electricity instantly turned deep purple, and the entire space began to flicker with the light and shadow of the arcs. After a struggle and roar, the ancient dragon giant flapped its wings fiercely.

"roar!"

Unparalleled power!

With a "whoosh," a strong wind arose, and the high-pressure air wave swirling around the body suddenly materialized with a "hum," spreading more than twenty meters away from the body's surface.

The power that the ancient dragon giant unleashed in an instant not only caused the long, segmented metal tail wrapped around its body to completely break off and scatter into metal parts, but also repelled a blank area from the mysterious magnetic field set up by the metal cloak beneath its feet.

The Holmz Metal Titan, however, seemed unconcerned and even wore a victor's smile.

The tip of the metal tail, which had been shattered layer by layer by the high-pressure air waves of the ancient dragon giant, had a syringe section that, like a scorpion's sting, pierced into the ancient dragon giant's left chest. This was a heavy metal radioactive poison developed by Holmz.

Even more terrifying is that this is also a clone of the liquid metal mechanical puppet. The liquid metal mechanical puppet's liquid flames will actively adjust their power according to the target's body resistance structure, thereby causing extreme damage to the target.

"You've already... um!?"

Suddenly, when the ancient dragon giant, injected with a heavy metal radioactive agent, showed no reaction, and with a sweep of its long tail, a trench in the ground rumbled and spread towards its feet, Holmz paused mid-sentence.

Bang!

The long, transparent tail, like a crystal, extended into strands of transparent crystalline silk, wrapping around the metal giant that stood like a fortress.

The ancient dragon giant Holmz let out a sinister laugh: "Finally caught you."

call out!call out!call out!

Two high-energy rays attacked, while the liquid metal mechanical puppet rushed forward desperately to try and stop them.

The ancient dragon giant nimbly dodged the two energy rays, allowing the liquid metal mechanical puppet's attacks to fall on it without flinching. It then traversed the hundreds of meters between the crystal threads in one step, and the ferocious giant claw imprinted itself on the center of the metal giant's chest.

hum...

An oppressive, invisible ripple spread out between the two enormous monsters. After a brief, deathly silence, it erupted like a deafening thunderclap in a clear sky.

boom!

The ancient dragon giant stood there with a sinister grin. Its outstretched claw triggered a shockwave tens of meters high, carving a hundred-meter-long trench. Large pieces of metal flew everywhere, scattering across every corner of the arena. At the same time, the mysterious power that had been repelled by the entire arena vanished in an instant.

wow...

In an instant, the entire Three-Star Holy Tower Abyss Arena erupted in cheers.

The spectators, immersed in the gladiatorial combat, shouted, yelled, and roared, venting their excitement.

Throughout the entire duel, the Mech Warrior Holmz held the initiative, but with just one strike, Agmond completely reversed the situation!

"Waaah..."

Approaching a relatively large mechanical part of the escape teleportation array, it wriggled for a moment and then transformed into Holmz's true form, now displaying a ferocious expression.

"It's not over yet!"

Argomond's explosive power after transforming into her fourth level of wild instinct was already anticipated, but no one expected that she would actually reach the level of that terrifying witch from before. No matter how great an advantage she had built up, once she broke her self-sealing spell, she only needed one sword strike...

All the advantages are just a mirage!

Over the years, Holmz has used that witch as his imaginary enemy and driving force to catch up. He has prepared too many follow-up measures. The biggest disadvantage of a wild instinct body-refining wizard is that the closer the transformation is to the limit, the less it can be sustained. It can only be used as an explosive force.

With a "whoosh," a tiny afterimage appeared in front of the ancient dragon giant. It turned out to be an ant queen-level mechanical puppet with a ponytail!

Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip...

Amidst the increasingly rapid beeping, the sphere formed by the chubby mechanical puppet that was immersing itself near Agmond suddenly generated an exaggerated and astonishing gravitational magnetic field, firmly adhering to Agmond's back. At the same time, a pressure that almost caused space to vibrate gathered and condensed.

Finally, there's Holmz's true trump card in dealing with the Wild Body-Refining Wizard.

Where the liquid metal mechanical puppet stood, metal cloaks began to converge frantically from all directions. One after another, endless magical runes writhed inside and outside its body. This was Holmz's physical absorption magnetic field, specially developed for wild instinct-trained body-cultivating wizards!

boom!

A dazzling light erupted from within the Samsung Arena.

The power of the little fat mechanical puppet's magnetic pole explosive bullet was unbelievable; it even caused a ripple in the black barrier of the arena. The situation reversed again, causing the shouts and roars in the arena to fall silent as everyone stared blankly at the violent explosion within the black barrier.

Such an attack, and right in the center, even Argomund...

A short while later.

In the center of the hundred-meter-wide crater created by the explosion, Agmond, in his first-level Wild Instinct transformation form, leaned awkwardly against the crimson warhammer. His body was covered with metal cloak magic runes that drained his stamina, and liquid flames were burning fiercely on his body, gradually melting away the crystal-clear protective layer of his skin.

Above Agmond's head, the Queen Ant-class mechanical puppet girl, partially damaged by the explosion, stood in the air. Although she was also injured, she was far beyond what Agmond, in his current state, could handle.

"You have lost, Lord of the Abyss, Agmond."

Standing beside the escape teleportation array, Holmz spoke in a low voice, saying that although victory was imminent, the past defeat could not be undone no matter what.

Argomond is strong, but compared to the person before him, he is still somewhat lacking, lacking that earth-shattering aura that even a third-level archmage could not withstand.

"Hmph, you lost? Cough cough cough, Holmz, you seem to be like everyone else, having forgotten something."

Agmond coughed up a mouthful of blood and raised his head. The thrill of that life-or-death struggle filled him with immense excitement. This powerful mechanical wizard had already given him enough surprises.

"Um!?"

When Holmz saw a small, black gecko-like creature nimbly and happily crawling out of Agmond's ear, his expression changed drastically!

This is... an abyssal dragon!

Roar!

One moment the abyssal dragon was the size of a gecko, the next it expanded without limit into a colossal creature over fifty meters long. With its wings spread across the ground, it swallowed Agmond whole, then its serpentine eyes coldly gazed at the little ant queen-level mechanical puppet girl who had just been severely damaged by the shockwave of the explosion.

With its black scales, streamlined body that exudes violent aesthetics, the natural aura of a king at the top of the abyss food chain, and the swirling abyssal flames, there is no doubt that this abyssal dragon is at the very top of the third-level creature hierarchy!

After becoming the Abyss King, Agmond never publicly displayed his Abyss Dragon, to the point that everyone forgot about this companion of the Abyss King.

Spreading its black wings, like a shadow of death, the queen-level mechanical puppet engaged the abyssal dragon in battle, but was unable to withstand the attacks due to its previous injuries.

After about half an hourglass.

In a fit of despair and regret at his failed attempt, Holmz, along with his severely damaged queen-class mechanical puppet, escaped into the teleportation array.

Splash...

"The Lord of the Abyss of Agmund!"

"The Lord of the Abyss of Agmund!"

"The Lord of the Abyss of Agmund..."

A series of passionate roars soared into the sky. After being spat out by the abyssal dragon, Agmond, along with his companions, enjoyed the cheers of the gladiators in the arena. He closed his eyes, and the ripples of the wizarding world's will became increasingly clear.

Attention and recognition are separated by a fine line!

After a long while.

"well……"

Above the abyss clouds, a sigh escaped from some powerful wizard. Through Grimm's perception, one great wizard after another departed from the abyss clouds.

Amidst the roaring shouts of the spectators, which resembled a tidal wave, the Three-Star Holy Tower Abyss Arena came to an end. The black barrier surrounding the arena lost its energy supply and gradually disappeared.

Groups of Abyss Body-Training Wizards continued to take Agmond as their ultimate challenge, and one after another they left the field.

In the center of the arena, the victor, Agmond, stood there dumbfounded, his initial joy of victory gradually turning into disbelief, astonishment, and disappointment, which froze on his face.

The will of the wizarding world has not yet fully acknowledged Agmond.

The fine line between the will to pay attention and the will to acknowledge remains, a despair that seems both close at hand and within reach, yet also as far away as the horizon.
