The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 836 It's all about fighting.

Richard looked in Samael's direction, his expression becoming extremely serious.

When he last met Samael, he was merely a fifth-circle archmage, so he only had a superficial understanding of Samael's power.

Now that he has become the ruler, he has truly come to realize how terrifying this ruler of the abyss is.

This demon is practically the embodiment of the concept of battle.

He now has some doubts about how Beelzebub came to be considered one of the Abyss Rulers alongside Samael.

Given the sense of danger Samael was posing to Richard at that moment, even if Beelzebub could use the Abyss spells, he would most likely still be no match for Samael.

"Your Majesty, this guy... is very dangerous."

Taral Peak approached Richard, his expression equally solemn.

As a ruler who had experienced the previous generation of the Civilization Alliance, his knowledge was naturally extremely broad. And Samael, who was standing before him, would have been a prominent figure even among the previous generation of the Civilization Alliance.

Richard glanced at Mount Taral and calmly smiled, "Even you say it's dangerous, so it seems this ruler is indeed in danger."

As the vortex dimensional gate gradually disappeared, Samael fully entered the Abyss World.

His gaze swept around before immediately settling on the World Tree.

Even though Richard and Taral Peak had completely concealed their presence, Samael still sensed their presence through his intuition.

He looked at the World Tree and let out a wild, strange laugh. The laugh was like a devil finding a favorite toy, or a warrior finding a worthy opponent.

"Hahaha, you really didn't disappoint me!"

As he spoke, his figure suddenly vanished. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Richard.

"Little one, it's been a long time."

Richard looked at Samael; at this moment, his mental strength was sufficient to allow him to meet Samael's gaze.

Samael's face was ordinary, resembling a somewhat exaggerated goat. But looking at that face, Richard could clearly feel his spirit being eroded.

A feeling called fear spread through his heart.

Richard bowed slightly: "It has indeed been a long time, Lord Samael."

As he bowed, Taral Peak beside him also bowed—he was not a pedantic person, and there was nothing shameful about showing respect to a powerful opponent whom he could not defeat at the moment.

Samael took a deep breath, then said with a hint of ecstasy, "Indeed, the Creators are worthy of the title. The ultimate bloodline they created truly deserves the title of Creators."

Samael is an abyssal demon who is extremely focused on physical evolution. This focus caused him a lot of suffering during his growth, but it also made him who he is today.

Without needing any other means, he could detect the extraordinary nature of the Abyss Titan bloodline simply by breathing, from the almost negligible pheromones in the wind.

After basking in his reverie, he shifted his gaze to Mount Taral, and then to Richard.

He was more discerning than Beelzebub.

Although the marks of time on Mount Taral are striking, Samael's intuition tells him that Richard is the strongest.

"Little guy, let's have a match."

Samael's voice carried a hint of greed, like a gluttonous ghost stealing a cake that hadn't been finished yet.

"A fight?"

Richard's expression froze.

Samael is not Beelzebub. Samael does not practice abyssal magic; he fights solely with abyssal power and his physical body.

Even if he possesses the highest authority in the Abyss, it's impossible for him to prevent Samael from even using the power of the Abyss.

"Yes, let's have a fight."

Samael spread his arms, and countless blasphemous runes appeared on his body.

As the ruler of the abyss, Richard could see that these abyssal incantations were not blessings, but seals.

Samael knew that Richard had no chance of withstanding his full power, so he planned to seal himself away and then fight Richard.

Taral Peak's expression was tense, his internal energy surged continuously, and his life force field became constantly flowing.

But Richard held him down.

“Samael, why must you fight me in shackles, an unsatisfying battle?” Richard smiled. “On the front lines of wizarding civilization, you will find better opponents than me.”

"A better opponent?"

Samael stopped the seal, his dark red eyes suddenly fixed on Richard, filled with inexplicable anger.

“You have no idea what you’re talking about!” he roared, almost screaming. “The blood in your veins is the work of the Titans!”
In this world, your bloodline is the best bloodline!
And you are my best rival!

Samael's roar, filled with fear, was like a ferocious beast that had invaded Richard's soul.

If an ordinary ruler were to be subjected to such a mental attack, he would probably be terrified and completely disoriented by now, his expression blank.

But Richard remained unusually calm.

His body was trembling slightly, an instinctive reaction triggered by the invasion of fear into his soul.

However, Richard's expression did not change in the slightest.

As a wizard, rationality is fundamental to him.

This level of fear, even if it invaded his soul, was not enough to drag him into terror.

“Of course I know my bloodline is the work of the Titans, but I think you’d be more interested in the entity that caused the Titans’ extinction than in my bloodline…”

Before Richard could finish speaking, a terrifying pressure, like a mountain, pressed down on his head.

The seals on Samael's body shattered at that moment, and the unleashed power of his physical evolution, a power that had broken through the limits of dominance, was released without reservation.

"The entity that caused the Titans' extinction? You mean the mastermind behind the Hearthstone prophecy?" Although Samael was a master of physical evolution, he and Beelzebub were opposites in dealing with the previous civilization.

Beelzebub was not interested in the ruins of previous civilizations unless he encountered anything related to biology. Samael, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic about exploring the ruins of previous civilizations, and he would accept any ruins, regardless of their nature.

He also knew about the prophecy of the furnace man.

"Yes, that's why I came here today."

Samael looked at Richard, and his oppressive aura suddenly dissipated, his entire demonic aura instantly transforming from violent to peaceful.

Rage is Samael's instinct, but for a creature that has evolved, the most basic skill is to control its instincts.

"Tell me carefully."

Richard paused for a moment, completely banishing the fear from his soul, and then recounted the story of the civilization devourers.

After listening, Samael suddenly fell silent. Or rather, a facade of silence.

Both Richard and Taral Peak could sense the subtle energy fluctuations emanating from Samael at this moment.

For a master who has broken through limits, such noise would be absolutely impossible to occur, unless Samael's spirit was extremely excited at this moment.

He was so excited that he almost lost control of his body.

“Great, great, this era is truly wonderful!” Samael suddenly exclaimed.

"In this era, I can not only fight against the masterpieces of the Titans, but I can even fight against many Titans, and even the Black Hand that destroyed the Titans."

This era is truly wonderful!

As he spoke, the Abyss Runes suddenly reappeared on Samael's body.

He looked at Richard, a big laugh on his face: "Kid, your terms are pretty good. But before you sign that contract, you still have to fight me."

After that contract is signed, who knows when we'll fight again? I might even be dead by the time the war ends.

Once the contract of fate is signed, he and Richard will be allies and cannot fight each other.

Although this contract does not bind sparring, such battles would be too boring.

Seeing Samael's state, Richard knew he couldn't avoid a fight.

However, it's also good that he can fight against a transcendent ruler whose physique has evolved beyond the limits, which will definitely improve his physique by a lot - the only drawback is that he might actually be killed.

Without a word, a dimensional gate opened before Richard.

Just as Richard was about to enter the endless dimension, Taral Peak, who was standing next to Richard, suddenly spoke up: "Samael Overlord, how about I join this battle as well?"

Samael was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Of course!"

Although the Tarar Peak wasn't as delicious as Richard's, it was still quite a treat. Samael was a big eater, so he was naturally happy to have an extra dish.

Arriving in endless dimensions.

Richard and Tarlar Peak unfolded their true forms, transforming into two colossal figures over 100,000 meters tall.

Thunder and flames swirled around them, and energy flowed across their bodies, forming pulsating patterns of light, like ancient gods in mythology who cleaved through chaos.

Samael followed closely behind.

The moment he appeared, Richard and Taral Peak immediately attacked, without caring whether Samael had revealed his true form.

When fighting a powerful opponent like Samael, martial ethics are absolutely out of the question.

Runes like stars appeared on Richard's body, and the almost inexhaustible energy within him intertwined and combined under the influence of the runes, eventually turning into a single point.

A pitch-black singularity!

Beside him, the life force field of Mount Taral circulated endlessly, like the eye of a storm.

Although this new body lacked combat instincts, it possessed an inexhaustible source of energy. Techniques that had previously been limited to his imagination due to constraints could now be used.

"Killing Fist, Annihilation!"

The roar of the Tarar Peak was like thunder, and endless energy flowed and transformed between its cells, eventually transforming into a profound fist-shaped aura.

On this fist's aura, an aura of destruction flowed endlessly, causing even the void to tremble.

hum!
The greatest form is formless, the greatest sound is silent.

When the two attacks, each powerful enough to destroy a world, landed, the scene was remarkably calm.

It's like a pebble thrown into a lake, producing only ripples and a faint buzzing sound.

At the center of the collision, the pitch-black singularity and the destructive fist energy transformed into a black hole, completely enveloping Samael's body.

All energy, light, and even mental energy were absorbed by the black hole.

Even with his Eyes of Truth, Richard could not see what was happening within the inner turmoil.

All that could be seen were ripples of gravity powerful enough to tear apart the bodies of ordinary rulers.

Suddenly, the black hole began to collapse, revealing Samael's figure.

Samael looked rather disheveled at this moment. He had almost no flesh on his body, and his entire body was just an incredibly complex, pitch-black skeleton.

But his imposing manner did not diminish in the slightest.

His voice remained bold and unrestrained.

"Good, good, good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"Come on, let's continue! Let me see just how strong the Titan really is!"
