Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 120 - 20 War (2)

Chapter 120: Chapter 20 War (2)

Tens of thousands of thunders poured out from the magic wand, almost lighting up half the sky as they converged.

In an instant, insects fell like rain.

“Such terrifying elemental fluctuations, the united spellcasting of the White Wizard Army is really…” Richard exclaimed in awe.

The range of the spell cast by the White Wizard Army this time was very close, with the elemental fluctuations even causing elemental turbulence in the entire sky. Even inside the war airship, Richard could feel the changes in the elements outside.

“If it weren’t so, how could the White Wizards stand the frontline battlefield,” Ali added, speaking as a Shaping Wizard, she was clearer about the situation outside than Richard.

“What we’re facing is an enemy of an entire world.”

...

Within a moment, the White Wizard Army, having adjusted their formation, steadied their stance and slew the approaching Moth Army to near extinction. However, due to the proximity of their spellcasting, all White Wizards outside the war airship had to activate their magic shields to fend off the threat of the elemental turbulence.

At the same time, having witnessed the terrifying power of the White Wizard Army, the Black Crystal Worm Clan began their counterattack.

“Activate the Mother Goddess Cannon!”

A command was issued from the High Priest, quickly transmitted to a corner of the swarm.

The Black Crystal Worms, upon receiving the order, extracted a mass of flesh covered in green viscous fluids from their bodies and converged them. In less than a moment, a pile of flesh about four meters in diameter appeared.

Two Sacrificial Insects bowed towards the sky, then entered the pile of flesh, and as they did, the flesh pile began to undergo a transformation.

Black crystals surfaced within the flesh, while a brown chitinous layer spread across the surface of the pile. Moments later, the top of the flesh pile split open with a slit resembling a mouth.

A Warrior Worm severed its arms and handed them to a comrade before plunging headlong into the slit.

Gurgle, gurgle…

The sound of liquid churning came from the flesh pile, and then a green acidic ball about one meter in diameter, crackling with energy arcs, was shot towards the sky.

Bang! Hiss, hiss…

The acid ball hit a White Wizard, instantly breaking through his magic shield, and the thick acid poured over the White Wizard, dissolving him into a puddle of pus in the blink of an eye. The few Wizards nearby splattered with the acid saw their magic barriers quickly fade.

“Attention to protection! Enemy strategic weapon has appeared!”

The White Wizard commander sent out a warning through the mental network, and the formation of the army was subtly adjusted again. Several White Wizards formed smaller squads, using thicker magic shields to counteract the Mother Worm Cannons of the Black Crystal Insect Race.

At the same time, commands were also issued from the command center.

“All Black Wizards, attention, all Black Wizards, attention! The enemy strategic weapon has appeared, the enemy strategic weapon has appeared.

In thirty seconds, all Black Wizards are to enter the battlefield, target the strategic weapons!

Repeat, in thirty seconds, all Black Wizards are to enter the battlefield, target the strategic weapons!”

Listening to the orders transmitted by the communication crystal ball, Richard put on his cloak’s hood and his Demon Eater Sword in hand also ignited with black flames.

“Ali, stay safe, don’t die on me!”

Ali grasped her magic wand, a slight smile appearing on her face.

“Same to you, I plan to spend ten thousand years with you.”

The communication crystal ball carried the cold voice of the command center.

“Black Wizards, prepare for deployment!”

With a “hum,” the ground of the war airship began to slowly open, the sound of mechanical friction continuously reaching Richard’s ears. At the same time, the White Wizard Army also began spell support, trying their best to create a safe deployment environment for the Black Wizards.

Looking at the sea-like army of insects on the ground, Richard grabbed onto a magic statue beside him, took a deep breath, and his body lit up with a magic barrier,

“Release the decoys! All Black Wizards will deploy in three seconds!”

Richard saw several small alchemy machines released from the underside of the airship, constantly attracting attacks coming from the ground.

“Three… two… one, deploy!”

The next instant, the bottom hatches of a hundred war airships opened simultaneously, and tens of thousands of black figures fell at the same time, flames even appearing on the surface of their magic barriers due to air friction.

From the ground, it looked like tens of thousands of meteors were crashing towards the earth.

The insect swarm’s acid projectiles and primal magic continuously bombarded the sky, forcing Black Wizards to deviate from their landing points to avoid the spells. Those unlucky enough to be hit by acid balls were reduced to thick fluids on contact.

With a “boom,” Richard landed successfully, and immediately adjusted the magic statue to guard mode.

Thanks to the White Wizard Army’s magic barrage, the Black Crystal Worms near Richard had been cleared away, leaving behind scorched black limbs and green viscous fluid with a sour smell all over the ground; at a glance, only a few crippled worms not yet fully dead were struggling desperately.

“All members of Black Wizard Squad number 35, listen to the order!”

A voice came from behind Richard; turning back, he saw a wizard in a black robe, half of his body ablaze with black fires, yelling at the communication crystal ball – he was Wakaba, the Black Wizard leader of the war airship Richard was on.

“Our target is the strategic weapon of the Black Crystal Insect swarm, all Black Wizards of Squad number 35 immediately make a beeline for the nearest strategic weapon! At all costs, destroy the enemy strategic weapons!”

After issuing the command, Wakaba glanced at Richard.

“Kid, welcome to the battlefield.”

With that, he rushed alone towards the nearest strategic weapon.

Black Wizards fight solo, unlike the White Wizards who battle in legions.

Seeing this, Richard said nothing and, gripping his Great Sword, he followed closely, flying towards the nearest strategic weapon.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

The blasts of spells were unceasing. Due to their control of the skies, the White Wizard Army freely bombarded the Black Crystal Insect swarm with magic.

Boom!

A fireball exploded not far from Richard, and several Warrior Worms, unable to dodge, were torn apart by the blast.

Thanks to the cover of the Slave Army, even though the Insect swarm noticed their kin falling from the sky, they were temporarily unable to target effectively.

This also made Richard’s advance exceptionally smooth.

Boom!

A fireball burst apart, instantly blasting a Warrior Worm that had approached Richard into pieces with the Fire Element it unleashed.

As an Alchemy Wizard, Richard’s mastery of Shaping Magic could only be considered average, apart from the Heart of Annihilation; the potency of his other Shaping Spells was just a bit above the average within the Wizard group.

Even so, the Fireball Technique with an Energy Level as high as four hundred was more than enough to blast these Level 1 Creature Black Crystal Insects to death.

While killing, Richard also continuously collected data on these insects.

Although the headquarters had given suggestions, those were the views of others. As a Wizard, one must have their own opinions.

Richard casually grabbed a limb from a Warrior Worm—it resembled a scythe, and the tough chitinous material could easily slice through bone and rock with muscle power driving it.

As Jolod’s student, Richard had some research on muscle structures; the Black Crystal Insect’s muscle structure was quite unique. The forelimb muscle structure of this Race was clearly not suited for prolonged movement, but the explosive power it granted was astonishing.

A freshly matured Level 1 Warrior Worm could easily cause three hundred Energy Level worth of Cutting damage with such an outburst.

That Energy Level might not sound like much, but compared to a Race like Wizards, which relied on intelligence, such strength would absolutely be considered above average within the Slave Army.

“It seems the dean is about to gain a Slave World this time,” Richard muttered to himself as he placed the limb into his Magic Pocket.

Wizard Civilization classifies conquered worlds into three types: Resource worlds, Slave worlds, and Research worlds.

Resource Worlds are those with abundant magic stones or alchemy materials, and they are favorites among Great Wizards. The conquest of each Resource World means a massive amount of wealth pouring into a Great Wizard’s pockets.

Then there are Slave Worlds, which mainly provide War Slaves, the Slave Armies, for Great Wizards. After conquering a Slave World, Great Wizards don’t strip it bare like they do with Resource Worlds; instead, they regularly collect a “Blood Tax” from the Races within, using them as Slave Armies.

Such worlds are extremely rare among the many, with only a small portion able to become Slave Worlds.

Last are Research Worlds, which generally refer to those with scarce resources and weaker Races. The sole use of these worlds is to provide knowledge for Wizards and are the least desired by Great Wizards.

Upon encountering such a world, the gains from a plane expedition could be negligible at best, or at worst, the Great Wizard might even have to invest a substantial amount of Magic Stones.

After all, whether it’s hiring Free Wizards and White Wizard Armies or renting Floating Cities, the expenses are substantial.

This current Insect Nest World has a commendable strength of creatures, and it’s said that the Black Tower Great Wizard still doesn’t have a Slave World. This plane expedition looks to be quite profitable for him.

…

The appearance of Black Wizards brought some changes to the battlefield situation. With the Sacrificial Insect’s presence, the Black Crystal Worm Clan’s main base kept receiving news of breaches in the lines.

If viewed from above, the edges of the black sea formed by the Black Crystal Worm Clan were pierced by numerous “spikes.”

These “spikes” were the result of the Black Wizards’ breakthroughs.

In the main base, the Golden Ring Priest extended its tendrils to the other two Priests.

“Deploy the Mother Worm Guards, and deal with the bugs that have come down from the skies!”

“Agreed.”

“Agreed.”

…

Within the swarm, Richard advanced smoothly through the swarm with the aid of the Slave Armies and spells.

But just as Richard began to relax, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end, instinctively retreating backward.

A streak of golden light flashed before his eyes, effortlessly piercing through his Magic Barrier. Had he retreated even a fraction of a second slower, he would have been beheaded.

“What is that!”

Richard released his spiritual power fiercely, allowing him to see every detail within fifty meters.

Under such scrutiny, Richard quickly found the owner of the golden light—a Warrior Worm adorned with golden patterns.

“A new insect!”

Richard was shocked inwardly. The response of the Black Crystal Worm Clan was impressively swift. In the mere three hours since their arrival, the Black Crystal Insect swarm had managed to relay information, make decisions, dispatch troops, and navigate through millions in the Insect Sea to reach the front lines specifically to target them.

This level of wartime mobilization was nearly comparable to that of Wizards.

As if sensing Richard’s spiritual power, the golden-patterned Warrior Worm made a slight bow towards him, its Blade Arms glowing faintly with golden light.

“Stranger from beyond the skies, today I will offer your head to the Mother Worm God!”
