Chapter 1028: Summer Cicada’s Chirp

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Two enforcers were standing there waiting.

“City Lord, we haven’t found the dark wizard from the Blood Fire Demon Tower. We’ve checked all the fourth-circle wizards in the city. I suspect that he has already left the city.”

“Were there any other suspicious people during this period?” asked the City Lord.

“There’s a fourth-circle wizard from the Endless Sea, and he’s an external aid of the Witch’s Family. His identity is fine, but I don’t know what he’s doing here.”

“Then forget it. That dark wizard might just be passing by. We just have to do our duty and report it. Our city is fine.” The City Lord waved his hand and dismissed them.

He returned to his wizard tower, set up the array, and took out a small red bottle.

He opened the bottle, and a flame came out.

A thumb-sized red cicada poked its head out of the fire.

This red cicada seemed to be made of runes and flames. Its entire body was translucent, and if the apprentice wizard took a second look, his spiritual force would explode.

This was because this was an Earth-level Truth Oddity.

The Summer Cicada’s Chirp!

Even as a fifth-circle wizard, he was very excited at this moment.

According to the Illustrated Guide of Strange Items that he had read, the Summer Cicada’s Chirp was considered first-rate among Earth-level Truth Oddities.

It was almost the same as the Water Dragon’s Song that had appeared in the Endless Sea a few years ago.

Refining it had three main functions:

Increase the power of fire elemental spells, increase the upper limit of spiritual force, and give birth to a third-circle fire elemental innate spell.

Of course, the prerequisite was that it had to be refined before the primordial soul was formed. After the primordial soul was formed, it would no longer have any effect.

“This Truth Oddity is in my favor. I’ve cultivated for six hundred years. From a human youth, I’ve become an old thing in the Wizard World. Although I’ve become a fifth-circle wizard, I’ve left behind many regrets… When I was at the third circle, I only grasped two innate spells and quickly advanced to the fourth-circle. Now that I’m at the fifth circle, I’m at a disadvantage compared to those wizards who grasped three innate spells from the beginning.”

Third-circle, fourth-circle, fifth-circle.

The easiest to achieve was the third-circle talent.

After that, it was rare for fourth-circle people to have three talents. After the fifth-circle, it was even rarer.

Up until now, he already attained fifth-circle, but he had only grasped two third-circle talents, two fourth-circle talents, and one fifth-circle talent.

If it was just a battle of magic, it would not be a big problem for the Fire Crocodile City Lord.

The most important thing was that he had heard a rumor from a primordial soul senior some time ago.

The latest unpublished and unconfirmed research showed that…

After reaching the peak of the fifth-circle and advancing to the primordial soul realm, in addition to the six basic talents, every additional third-circle talent would increase the success rate of advancing to the primordial soul realm by 3%, fourth-circle talent by 4%, and fifth-circle talent by 5%!

In other words, when a wizard with nine innate talents advanced to the primordial soul wizard realm, the success rate was 12% higher than that of a wizard with six innate talents!

For a primordial soul, every 1% increase in success rate was a huge victory!

That’s why a 12% increase in success rate was incredible!

It was a pity that he did not pursue perfection back then and just muddled through like that.

If he wanted to make up for it now, he could only rely on the legendary Truth Oddity that could give birth to talents.

The Summer Cicada’s Chirp was such a treasure.

“If I want to give birth to a fourth-circle innate spell, I’ll have to obtain a Sky-level Truth Oddity… In the current Wizard World, to be able to obtain an Earth-level Truth Oddity, has already exhausted six hundred years of my luck.

“If one wanted to obtain a Sky-level Truth Oddity, they would have to go to the Dark Ancient Tower or some planes that no wizard had set foot in. With my ordinary fifth-circle strength, it’s difficult for me to get involved.

“However, I’m already very satisfied. Next, I’ll refine it to avoid any more trouble.”

Fire Crocodile City Lord immediately went into seclusion and opened the Truth Oddity.

The red fire cicada flapped its wings and flew high, trying to get out of the wizard tower.

He used an array to stop it. freēwēbnovel.com

“It’s essentially just a cluster of dead objects with some intelligence, yet it wants to fly out of my palm… Do you think you’re a Glorious Sun-level Oddity?”

He snorted coldly and grabbed the cicada with a hand made of flames.

He could not wait to refine it in his mind.

With his fifth-circle strength, it would not take him long to refine this Earth-level Truth Oddity.

When he sent the strange object into his mind, a strange and hoarse cicada cry sounded.

“Fire Crocodile City Lord, you have really been blinded by a strange object. You can’t even see the main body hiding inside… Hahaha, your body is mine!” A strange laughter sounded in his mind.

An illusory blood-colored figure crawled out of the cicada’s abdomen and appeared in Fire Crocodile City Lord’s consciousness.

He looked at the fiery-red mental power crystal of the Fire Crocodile City Lord and the soul hovering on it.

“Fifth-circle talent, Blood Shadow Soul Seizing!”

“You… You’re the Blood Demon Tower Master? Didn’t you self-destruct? How can you possess a body? Is this an ability that only the soul has?” Fire Crocodile City Lord’s soul cried out in fear.

“Ignorant wizard. There are thousands of spells in this world. There will always be some that a country bumpkin like you can’t think of.” The blood-red figure pounced on the soul of the Fire Crocodile City Lord and turned into a blood-red demon. It opened its bloody mouth and crazily devoured the soul of the Fire Crocodile City Lord.

The Fire Crocodile City Lord did not want to be outdone and tried his best to counterattack.

“Give up struggling. I was already a fifth-circle senior wizard thirty years ago. Your spiritual force and soul are far inferior to mine!

“I’ll let you know that there’s a gap even between fifth-circles.

“If it wasn’t for the eight talented enforcers from the Nine Cities Alliance, do you think you could destroy my Blood Fire Demon Tower with your strength?”
