Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 656 - 654: Battle of Wealth Among Wizards

It was not quite dawn, the darkest moment before the morning light, and the night sky over the fields was like a thick black veil, impermeable to the air, enveloping everything.

In this envelopment, by all reason, everyone should have been sound asleep. Yet, things always have exceptions, such as Mandun City of the Golden Triangle Kingdom, which was bustling with activity.

At this moment, within and outside the walls of Mandun City, as well as atop battlements and by the gates, the sounds of battle raged. Soldiers from two opposing forces were clashing violently, going all out in a frenzied collision, howling as they attempted to claim each other’s lives.

The noise of the fight was overwhelmingly loud, almost drowning out everything in the world.

But then, a sudden, thunderous roar drew the attention of many on the battlefield, signaling to all where the decisive point of this night raid was taking place.

The battle, a battle among Wizards, was underway.

Five figures pursued each other at high speeds, frequently releasing Spells to bombard one another; wherever they went, houses collapsed and chaos reigned. Should any Soldier be unfortunate enough to get caught in their way, they would almost certainly be shattered by Spells without a chance to resist.

These five figures fought from outside the city walls to the inside, until finally there was a brief lull in the action.

There, Wizard Bata, Wizard Noel, Wizard Jenny, and Teddy surrounded a middle-aged Male Wizard from Deep Blue Castle, their expressions solemn.

The besieged Warlock was a First-level High Order Wizard, his clothes largely torn, his face as pale as death, indicating he had sustained serious injuries.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A gut-wrenching cough resounded, and blood spewed from the mouth of the Deep Blue Castle Wizard. Slowly lifting his head, the Male Wizard glared at Teddy and the others, teeth clenched with venom, "You despicable lot, taking advantage of the darkness to launch a surprise attack; I was caught off guard and badly hurt. Had it not been so, I would have torn your bodies to shreds."

"Is that so, it seems now it’s you who will have your body torn into pieces," said the hot-tempered Wizard Bata.

"A man about to die shouldn’t speak so tough," quipped the slight Wizard Noel.

"Hmph," Jenny glanced coldly, without a word, as if disdaining to respond.

Teddy was a bit more talkative, "Hey, I think what you’re saying is a bit unreasonable. It sounds like it’s really just because you didn’t react in time, that’s why you were taken by surprise and seriously injured. But actually, when we attacked you, you were busy on top of that crying girl, and not asleep. How could you not have reacted in time?"

Hearing Teddy’s words, Witch Jenny looked at the Deep Blue Castle Wizard and spat disdainfully, showing even more scorn than before.

"So really, it’s just that you couldn’t beat the four of us, and that’s why you ended up like this," Teddy summarized seriously.

The Deep Blue Castle Wizard flew into a rage, bellowing, "What, you think I’m no match for you four? Hah, what a joke! In my eyes, you’re nothing but trash. Three First-level Middle Stage Wizards and an Apprentice who has just been promoted, you really think you can defeat me? Ha, earlier, it was purely because I was caught off guard and didn’t have the chance to use my Magic Tools, that’s why you were able to injure me. But now, don’t blame me for what happens next, you forced my hand!"

As he spoke, a bracelet on the Wizard’s wrist slowly lit up, emitting a strong Mana fluctuation. With a piercing tone, the Wizard announced, "See, the Magic Tool I’m activating now, I obtained it only after great effort, and I was reluctant to use it, given that Magic Tools have a limited number of uses or a lifespan. But now, you’ve left me no choice.

I can see that the four of you, when united, are merely equivalent to or slightly surpass my power. However, once I use this Magic Tool, it will increase my strength by at least twenty percent, crushing you all to pieces."

"Um..." Teddy interjected.

"What?" The Deep Blue Castle Wizard turned to Teddy with a cold voice, "What, you’re ready to surrender? Or have some last words to say?"

"No," Teddy shook his head, looking seriously at the Deep Blue Castle Wizard, "I just want to tell you that we also have Magic Tools that we haven’t used."

"Because we don’t think there’s any need to use them," Wizard Bata said.

"And if we really used them, we would have many more Magic Tools than you do," Wizard Noel added.

"Moreover, our Magic Tools have a stronger amplification effect than yours," Wizard Jenny said coldly, "You’ll be the one left in pieces!"

"How is that possible!" The Deep Blue Castle Wizard’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Impossible, you’re lying! With your strength, how could you have so many precious Magic Tools? Trying to scare me? Dream on! Die!"

The Deep Blue Castle Wizard shouted, his bracelet lighting up and releasing a burst of Flames towards Teddy and the others.

Then his eyes rounded in shock.

He saw that on Teddy and his group, several parts suddenly lit up—wrists, fingers, necks, chests—at least three, at most five, all showing fluctuations of Mana, obviously from Magic Tools.

More than ten Magic Tools activated at once on the four of them, their strength greatly enhanced as they released different Spells, hurling them at him.

"No!"

The Deep Blue Castle Wizard screamed, but he had no chance to fight back and was completely engulfed by the incoming Spells.

"Boom!"

...

After a while.

The glow of the Spells and the dust they kicked up slowly dissipated, revealing the body of the Deep Blue Castle Wizard.

At this moment, the Deep Blue Castle Wizard was not dead, but he might as well have been, his body charred and lying on the ground, barely breathing in and breathing out even less.

Looking at Teddy and the others with his eyes, the Deep Blue Castle Wizard spoke with difficulty, "You... are truly despicable, hiding so many Magic Tools... No... it doesn’t matter. Master Goring will avenge me, yes, Master Goring will surely avenge me.

"He... he’s a Second-level Wizard, even if you have so many Magic Tools, in his eyes, you are nothing more than Clowns. He could crush you with a wave of his hand. He... he hasn’t appeared because he’s been hidden away in a secret chamber studying Spells, unaware of the outside world. Once he realizes, you will all die, all die..."

"Who dares attack the city!"

As if to answer the Warlock’s words, suddenly, a dignified voice sounded, and a Black Shadow flew out from somewhere in the city, shooting straight into the sky, looking down on everyone from on high.

"Is it the enemies who don’t know they’re already dead? You are doomed!"

The Black Shadow that rushed out shouted.

"Hahaha, did you see that, that is Master Goring," the dying Wizard on the ground suddenly gained some energy as if a light returned to him, his eyes wide as he yelled at Teddy and the group, "Did you hear what Master Goring said, you are doomed, you’re dead—"

The Deep Blue Castle Wizard’s words were suddenly cut off, and not far away on the street was a figure who suddenly flipped his hand and produced a strange weapon, then aimed it at the highly conspicuous Second-level Wizard Goring in the sky.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
