Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 403 - 23: Giant Floating Mother Body

Chapter 403 -23: Giant Floating Mother Body

Amidst the ancient battlefield, Richard gazed at the incessant ripples of the magic barrier enveloping him, lost in thought.

He felt he must have taken a wrong direction.

Because the closer he got to the black shadow, the higher the energy radiation in the air became.

He walked towards the direction of the black shadow for seven days, and the radiation of energy in the air had nearly doubled.

If he had walked in the opposite direction, he would probably have left the ancient battlefield by now.

Richard looked into the distance; the black shadow had become somewhat clearer. Through his Eagle Vision Skill, he could vaguely make out that it was a massive sphere.

It must be the remnants of a war machine left by the Pioneers.

“Well, time to take a gamble,” he sighed.

The energy radiation of the ancient battlefield reminded Richard of the Black Stone he had obtained from the Toad King Stone.

He suspected that there should be many such Black Stones within the black shadow he saw.

If that were true, he reckoned he could obtain a fairly complete rule. This would no doubt be a solid foundation for his path to becoming a Great Wizard.

A more complete rule could transform an ordinary spell, with significant enhancement.

A minor Fireball enhanced by the rule of the Fire Element could even rival the power of Sun’s Fall.

For the future Great Wizard Trial, this was undoubtedly a tremendous boost.

With that in mind, Richard took out two pieces of Magic Essence from his pocket, began to draw magic from them, replenishing the Magic Rebound.

Although the energy radiation in the environment was not a major issue for his physique,

reality was not a game; even water droplets can wear away stone, let alone energy radiation comparable to spells.

Even the thickest armor could be penetrated by bullets.

…

Boom!

A black sphere exploded in the air, swallowing the last Crystal Floating Cannon.

Richard stood to the side, watching the remote shadow with a somewhat pale face.

It had been half a month since he left the Crystal Tower.

Now, the energy radiation in the air could almost compare with a thousand-level Energy Witchcraft specialized in penetration. Even Richard had to activate his Energy Shield to ensure that his flesh did not suffer extensive cellular decay.

Although a thousand-level spell caused him limited damage, no one can withstand being bombarded by spells all day long.

And the distant shadow had now revealed its true nature—a crashed spaceship.

To be honest, Richard had never dreamed that an ancient battlefield would hide a crashed spaceship of the Pioneers.

The spaceship was made of metal and Black Crystals, shaped like a colossal sphere.

The front half of this ship had been almost entirely blown apart, with the back half partially buried in the desert sand.

Deep within the spaceship, Richard saw a strange green light.

Although Richard had never before seen a Pioneer’s spaceship, he was certain that the green light was definitely the source of the radiation throughout the desert.

And that provided Richard with the drive to continue moving forward.

Two more days, and he could reach the foot of that spaceship.

Suddenly, an extremely sharp buzzing reached Richard’s ears.

He looked towards the source of the sound, only to see over a dozen Floating Cannons with a crimson glow rapidly approaching him.

“Damn it, not again,” he muttered.

Richard looked at the approaching Floating Cannons, his pale complexion growing even whiter. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The energy radiation in the air was constantly draining his magic power. This made his magic reserve extremely limited, forcing him to continuously use Magic Essence for Magic Refill.

But the Floating Cannons were different.

Who knew what kind of advanced technology the Pioneers had installed in them, but in this intense energy radiation environment, they seemed to be functioning without any issues.

In fact, they even appeared invigorated, as if the energy radiation could recharge them.

Moreover, as he approached the crashed ship, these devices started to show up more frequently. Almost every one or two hours, he encountered them.

If their numbers were small, they were manageable, but if they increased, even Richard would need to expend quite an effort to deal with them.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Richard sidestepped, dodging three energy beams shot out by the Floating Cannons.

The beams weren’t very powerful, but they had strong penetration. If concentrated, they could easily break through his Magic Barrier.

Therefore, Richard typically did not activate his Magic Barrier when encountering them.

The surging dragon scales spread across Richard’s body, and in an instant, he transformed from a slightly burly man into a fierce dragon-man, half-human and half-dragon.

The dragon scales had strong resistance to energy radiation, so Richard did not need to use the Magic Shield to protect against the radiation in the environment.

If not for the Transformation Battle Body consuming both cell life energy and magic, Richard would have liked to keep the Transformation Battle Body active at all times.

After transforming into a dragon-man, all of Richard’s attributes were greatly enhanced, even his sight improved. With the augmentation of the Transformation Battle Body, his dragon eyes shone even more brilliantly due to the Dragon King Bloodline.

With a light wave of his Magic Wand, a wall of earth arose from the ground.

He took a step forward, and his body suddenly appeared in front of a crystal floating cannon.

When the floating cannon detected someone approaching, an energy shield suddenly appeared around it, and the nearby floating cannons immediately adjusted their positions, preparing to surround and kill Richard.

But all these efforts were in vain.

With a “snap,” the dark gold World Tree staff overloaded the floating cannon’s shield with a strike, then proceeded to shatter the floating cannon itself in midair.

With one successful hit, Richard waved his wand, and two thick, small magic shields quickly appeared behind him, blocking the light cannons from the floating cannons.

Around him, crystal floating cannons glowing with dark red light nearly surrounded him.

An invisible field expanded outward, causing Richard’s figure to halt momentarily.

The delayed force field, a combination skill of the floating cannons.

This skill required at least three floating cannons to cast, and the force field’s effects would increase with the number of floating cannons participating.

A delayed force field released by a dozen floating cannons even made Richard, a wizard with an evolved physique, feel as if he was trapped in a quagmire.

Any spell cast became as slow as a snail’s crawl.

However, this delayed force field had two major flaws. The first was that it was ineffective against space-teleportation abilities.

Richard vanished in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already in the shadow of a dirt wall he had created before the fight began.

The second was that while releasing was easy, dispelling was hard.

The delayed force field also imposed certain constraints on the floating cannons. Once formed, the floating cannons comprising the force field had to take half a second to disengage their connection with each other.

Do not underestimate this half-second; in battles involving third-level creatures, it could decide life or death.

With a light swing of Richard’s wand, several pitch-black Hearts of Annihilation smashed toward the floating cannons in the sky like meteors.

Next came a buzzing sound as dark fireballs exploded in the air, turning into black spheres.

Under Richard’s control, not a bit of the Hearts of Annihilation’s power went to waste. Each one struck a floating cannon with pinpoint accuracy.

Richard watched the sky, somewhat pale-faced, holding two pieces of magic essence to replenish his magic.

The dozen Hearts of Annihilation had nearly drained his magic power completely.

Soon, the black spheres dissipated, and the crystal floating cannons turned into pools of lava dripping from the sky.

“Where do these floating cannons come from? Why does it feel like the cannons in this ancient battlefield are endless?”

Richard muttered to himself as he looked at the lava, then continued on his way.

But he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped.

Looking down at the ground, in the windless environment, he noticed that the sand was trembling slightly.

It seemed… something was coming this way.

“No good, I need to get out of here quickly.”

A sense of foreboding filled Richard’s heart, and he immediately flew towards the distant spaceship. But before he could take off, he saw a swath of blue clouds appear in the distance, flying towards him.

“What the hell? Since when are clouds blue?”

Richard took out a pair of Eagle Vision Skill enhanced glasses from his pocket, put them on, and took a closer look at the blue clouds.

This glance was alarming; like seeing a ghost, Richard turned and flew rapidly towards the spaceship.

The patch of blue clouds turned out to be a swarm of crystal floating cannons glowing with blue light!

And beneath them, a giant, spider-like puppet was slowly advancing towards him. Behind this spider puppet, a massive repair chamber constantly had crystal floating cannons moving in and out.

If the Snake King saw this, he would undoubtedly exclaim it impossible.

The Pioneers still had a giant floating cannon mother body left in the ancient battlefield, and this mother body was even mobile.

The giant floating mother body, accompanied by a host of floating cannons, darted rapidly across the battlefield; all the while, floating cannons kept returning from afar or flying off into the distance.

Suddenly, the giant floating mother body came to a halt.

At its forefront, there were six polyhedral crystals. Out of these, one suddenly emitted a beam of red light that touched the ground a kilometer ahead.

And the area enveloped by the red light was precisely where Richard had melted the floating cannons, with their remnants falling.

As the giant floating mother body made its decision, one of the floating cannons in the group trembled, its light turning from blue to red in an instant.

The next moment, the red light spread like a plague among the floating cannons.

Before long, the floating cannon group changed from blue to red, spreading like a tide around them.

And the giant floating mother body extended two tentacles, gathering up the crystal particles from the ground.

Soon after, two brand-new floating cannons flew out of its rear chamber.

…

In the distance, a black crow with gleaming eyes watched the floating cannon group intently.

Upon seeing the floating cannons change from blue to red, his expression became grave.

“Damn it, Richard has been spotted,” he said.

With that, the light in Ulysses’ eyes disappeared, and he spread his wings, flying rapidly toward the direction of the spaceship.
