Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 388 - 8: The First Person Under the Truth

Chapter 388 -8: The First Person Under the Truth

“Not good, this thing is summoning something!”

Richard’s expression changed abruptly as a circle of Fireballs suddenly appeared around him, ready to destroy the host.

But before he could act, Jimmy stopped him.

“What’s the hurry, let it summon,” Jimmy said calmly, “with the Dean and the Floating City here, if we can’t win this, we’re bound to die sooner or later.”

After the vine host burst forth with Life Energy, it immediately began to proliferate. Gigantic roots surged out from its body like floodwaters, quickly covering the hall where Richard and Jimmy were.

Soon, the roots realized that they were surrounded by metal and couldn’t absorb any nutrients.

Then, the roots began to burrow into the ground like drills, sending sparks flying as they penetrated the hard alloy of the Floating City.

The commotion caused by the vine host quickly attracted the attention of other wizards, but upon seeing Jimmy and Richard, two Three Rings Wizards, they retreated.

With two Three Rings Wizards watching, what trouble could possibly arise?

Jimmy saw the vine host damaging the Floating City and frowned slightly.

Damaging the Floating City would cost money.

He then pulled out two Fist Blades from his pocket, the blades densely inscribed with Runes that could make an ordinary person dizzy at a glance.

Jimmy fitted the Fist Blades on and swung at the vine host.

In an instant, the entire hall’s air was disturbed by his punch, turning into a huge vortex of Wind Blades.

These moves, comparable to Stio’s Metal Storm, seemed effortless in Jimmy’s hand.

The vortex of Wind Blades shredded the proliferating tide of roots from the host, but the proliferation continued unabated.

Seeing this, Jimmy furrowed his brow and then put the Fist Blades back in his pocket.

He tapped himself twice, and his body immediately burst forth with intense Life Radiation. The vine host, too, almost instantaneously reversed the direction of its roots at the outburst of Life Radiation—all of its grown roots surged towards Jimmy.

As a Three Rings Wizard with Physique Evolution, Jimmy’s Life Energy was extremely distinct to any creature, and to those with Parasitic Abilities, Jimmy was an ideal host.

In this stage without soil nutrients and Earth Veins energy, Jimmy was undoubtedly the prime target for the vine host.

The tide-like roots instantly engulfed Jimmy’s towering figure, but Richard, standing next to him, remained calm, not moving an inch.

He believed that Jimmy had a plan.

Richard watched as the roots wrapped Jimmy into a ball and slowly dragged him towards the host.

Then, with a loud “bang,” the host abruptly stopped moving.

Richard squinted, looking at the vine host.

“Is this… a Sealing Skill?”

In his Energy Vision, the energy circulation of the vine host halted after that thud.

It was very similar to a Sealing Skill.

“Yes, it’s a Sealing Skill,” Jimmy’s voice came from within the root ball.

Then, a pair of hands emblazoned with bluish Magic Patterns emerged from the root ball, tearing a gap through it.

Jimmy, covered in Magic Patterns, strolled out leisurely; the roots that could drill through the Floating City’s alloy and send sparks flying didn’t leave a single scratch on him.

“You have good eyes. Not many people can tell this is a Sealing Skill without me telling them. You are the first Three Rings Wizard to notice without my explanation.”

Richard smiled and pointed at his eyes, about to introduce his Soul Talent.

But before he could speak, the metal ground beneath his feet vibrated slightly.

“It seems that thing is coming,” Jimmy said confidently, smiling, “find a safe place to watch in a bit. The Dean’s battle movements are small, but for us…”

Jimmy didn’t finish his words when a rumbling sound came from beneath their feet, and the Floating City shook again.

The faces of both men turned slightly pale.

“Is it my imagination?” Richard asked with some difficulty.

Jimmy shook his head, his expression grave, “It’s not your imagination…”

Outside the Floating City, countless wizards stared dumbfounded as the Floating City rose slowly.

Below the Floating City, a gigantic vine was gradually growing.

“The Floating City is really ‘flying’ up.”

…

[Danger Alert! All wizards immediately move far away from the Floating City, and those within the Floating City please find a safe location to take refuge.]

[Danger Alert! All wizards immediately move far away from the Floating City, and those within the Floating City please find a safe location to take refuge.]

The Command Center’s alarm rang out from every wizard’s Communication Crystal Ball. Outside the Floating City, whether White Wizards or Black Wizards, One Ring Wizards or Three Rings Wizards, all hastily retreated from the Floating City.

In front of that tremendous vine, without the strength of a World Master, the farther away, the safer.

The wizards inside the Floating City, meanwhile, took refuge within the Command Tower.

They couldn’t leave the Floating City, so they had to find the safest place to hide.

As the wizards frantically fled, a figure suddenly appeared beneath the Floating City. Compared to the vine, this figure, almost a giant among humans, seemed so insignificant.

“Ah, it’s this kind of thing again.”

Garon the Great Wizard looked at the vine, his brows furrowed with headache. He complained helplessly, “Owning an entire world, the World Tree, how could there be such things in the Star Realm?”

The gigantic vine seemed to sense the presence of Garon the Great Wizard and stopped growing momentarily.

A grand yet seemingly overlapping chorus of voices erupted from the vines.

“Leave this place, outsider!”

The voice was so loud that most of the wizards in the Floating City were knocked unconscious by the sound; some of the weaker wizards even had their internal organs ruptured by the shock.

Garon the Great Wizard shrugged, “Although I’d like to do so, but…” His body suddenly swelled and in a blink, he had transformed into a towering giant.

“… how could I possibly let go of such a rare treasure!”

Garon the Great Wizard’s voice boomed like thunder, and his speed was as swift as lightning.

A Three Rings Wizard, watching from afar, didn’t even see Garon move when the massive vines shattered, turning into wood chips as fine as sea sand.

And the Floating City supported by those vines was now being lifted up by one hand of Garon the Great Wizard.

A wizard murmured, “Is this the power of the foremost individual under the Truth?”

Garon the Great Wizard, as the first Great Wizard after the Enlightenment-era, had reached the peak of the Sixth Circle several epochs ago.

It was even rumored among the wizards that Garon’s strength had already surpassed the limits of a Level 6 creature, only a step away from becoming a Truth Wizard.

Once he completes the legendary ascension ceremony, he could attain the Truth, founding his own school.

“No, I must record this.”

A One Ring Wizard from Jialong Academy shouted as he pulled out a Crystal Ball from his pocket and recorded the scene of Garon lifting the Floating City.

Years later, these moments would be sculpted on the base of a mountain, becoming one of the most famous sites in the Wizard World.

The World Tree did not respond further to Garon the Great Wizard.

The next moment, countless vines burst from the ground, lashing towards Garon like whips.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion resounded through the skies.

The giant vine whip shattered into a sea of wood chips, and within those chips, Garon, holding a White Bone Wand, laughed heartily like a Demon God.

“It has been a long time since I exercised my power; that really felt exhilarating.”

Saying so, he swung his wand. Instantly, magic power from thousands of kilometers around him began to flow.

An inexhaustible number of runes poured out from the bone, forming a simple yet world-destroying rune sphere.

“Thir… Thirteen Rings Forbidden Spell!” an old wizard cried out trembling.

“The Great Wizard is going to destroy the world!”

In the Wizard World, although the power of a spell was not necessarily correlated with its circle number, any spell strictly forbidden by the Truth Council to be used in the Wizard World was beyond the Nine Rings.

Among the Forbidden Spells, those of the Thirteen Rings were especially rare; only two had ever been recorded throughout the history of the Wizard World.

One of which was the Spell of Singularity Summon that Garon was preparing to unleash.

Singularity Summon, a Thirteen Rings witchcraft from the Shape-shifting School, capable of calling forth a singularity with near-infinite mass.

This spell was ineffective against normal World Masters, as any World Master could leave its range of influence before it materialized.

However, against a world, it was a legitimate apocalypse spell.

The singularity would continuously absorb the energy and mass of the world until the entire world was completely devoured.

“Hehehe, to deal with beings like you, destroying the world is the best approach.”

Garon cackled malevolently, continuously compressing the rune sphere in his hand. Once the sphere was reduced to its limit, the singularity would appear.

But as the rune sphere continued to shrink, Garon’s smile gradually disappeared.

He looked around suspiciously, trying to find the trace of the World Tree, but found nothing.

Even after using the Singularity Summon, not even a single vine emerged.

Garon muttered to himself, “Not showing up? Did it see through my act?”

Indeed, his spell was Singularity Summon, but he had no intention of destroying this world.

This world harbored so many relics of the Pioneers; it might even contain the Star Map that the Truth Council had long sought.

It would be a pity to destroy it just for the sake of a World Tree.

He was merely forcing the physical manifestation of the World Tree.

Such World Trees, occupying entire worlds, were troublesome mostly due to their immense size and near limitless energy.

These World Trees could use the principle of Magic Missile to amass an energy attack of several hundred thousand.

Their massive size meant that unless the physical body was found, destroying the world was the only way to kill them.

So, he purposefully used the Singularity Summon to force the World Tree to use its full power, hence allowing him to find that physical body.

But now that the singularity was about to form, why had the World Tree still not made a move?

“Looks like until I display its power, this being will not make a move.”

Garon looked at the nearly formed singularity in his hand and steeled his heart, deciding to give this native World Tree a shock of the Wizard World.

After all, there was a way to terminate the Singularity Summon prematurely…

Buzz!

Suddenly, Garon heard a high-frequency buzz.

In the next instant, he found himself in a scorched land. Before him stood an enormous black tree, its crown covering the entire sky, regally positioned in the center of the scorched earth.

On the trunk of the black giant tree, several terrifying creatures screamed miserably.

“Outsider, since you won’t leave, then stay with me forever!”
