Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 679 Martial Arts Destiny (4-in-1)

"The Word of Creation"...

According to legend, this is the language used by the supreme creator of the universe, which can greatly enhance any creative process.

The "true names" possessed by superior beings such as gods, demons, and dragons come from this.

Humans are actually just a mud-like species of silver-level beings, without a "true name".

In other words, if the real world were a large virtual game, ordinary creatures wouldn't have their own unique names, but only a series of codes.

And now, he is using cheat codes to bring up a special interface, thus touching on this fundamental issue.

"For some reason, it went unusually smoothly..."

Is it because my soul's status is high enough?

In a strange, soul-stirring moment, he felt a surge of mysterious knowledge flowing into him.

"Racial inheritance..."

[Mastery of Dragon Language], [Mastery of Celestial Language], [Mastery of Abyssal Language]...

[Dragon Language Magic]...

[True Dragon Wisdom]...

Following closely behind is a mysterious power derived from the union of body and soul.

"Talented ability..."

[Dragon Language Magic], [Dragon Might], [Dragon Breath]...

Finally, there are custom-designed special talents.

"【Metal Flesh and Blood】..."

"Possesses an animistic sorcery talent that allows it to devour metals such as gold and mercury and transform flesh and blood..."

This is the technology stack from the three-headed dragon Trekephalos and the Morgis civilization.

He transformed it into a talent in a special way, which was engraved in his astrological chart.

In the spiritual realm, an elegant dragon pattern with outstretched wings is presented in a hollowed-out gold pattern.

Those soul talents appeared as points of light, similar to alchemical talents, like gems inlaid on it.

"As expected of a superior being, the way this dragon passes on its power..."

It's absolutely amazing!

Roy was completely captivated.

This feeling of being "born with knowledge" is unprecedented.

Suddenly, he felt a pang of hunger in his stomach.

He quickly opened the glass cover, flew out, and sat on a chair to the side.

"Guards, I want to eat gold and drink mercury!"

The ghost maid entered in response and, led by Alice, brought him the food he needed.

Domi the black cat also tiptoed in, and together with Freya, they watched in surprise as Roy devoured his food.

In his dragon-like form, he consumed gold and mercury equivalent to the size of a human child.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, golden light began to emanate from their bodies, naturally releasing the "Ultimate Transformation Technique".

Amidst the surge of intense activation energy, it transformed back into the image of a handsome young man.

Her appearance was exactly the same as before, but her temperament was no longer eerie; instead, it had become intellectual and elegant.

He was a handsome young man with an air of nobility.

"Lord Roy..."

Freya was secretly amazed and admired it for a while before asking a question.

"Is this what a high-level bloodline witch body is?"

"That's right. Just like how Beretta can transform into a giant centipede, I can also reveal my true form as a golden dragon when necessary and fight in dragon form!"

This is different from ordinary transformation magic; it is essentially a transformation of the sorcerer's body.

But what I really need is not the various benefits of the golden dragon form, but its innate soul talent.

especially……

【Dragon Language Magic】!

Roy's eyes shone brightly as he truly felt this extraordinary talent, so different from that of ordinary species.

"【Dragon Language Magic】..."

Freya seemed lost in thought.

"This is a powerful magical ability, and also a system that can mobilize great power through dragon chanting."

From then on, I also possessed the seeds of skills such as controlling time and space and reversing fate, as well as the talent to master most of the world's magic.

Of course, there is still a long way to go before these promises can be fulfilled.

At least for now, I can't do anything!

Roy, with an air of dominance, declared his academic underachiever status with the statement, "I can't do anything."

But he was completely justified.

"Because I'm still just a child!"

……

"Master, the food is here."

a few days later.

The dining room in the monk's mansion.

Alice filed in with her ghost maids, bringing out beautifully presented food.

Domi the black cat also sat down to the side wearing a small scarf, ready to eat.

But instead of immediately enjoying its delicious dried fish, it turned its gaze to the side.

In front of Roy were some gleaming gold-carved vegetables, fruits, bread, and meat.

The glass was filled with shimmering silvery mercury.

It is also sprinkled with various pearls and gemstone fragments to replace meat floss, nuts and the like.

"How's the situation outside now?"

Roy performed a "revitalization" spell, making the already soft gold even softer.

He then picked up the golden bread, filled it with meat and vegetables, dipped it in the gem fragments, and enjoyed it.

To satisfy his new food cravings, Freya went to great lengths to create "food flavorings" that could give food a delicious taste.

It directly affects the senses at a spiritual level.

This doesn't bring any real improvement, but it's a token of goodwill.

While Roy was enjoying his meal, the girl's head floated beside him and reported: "During this period, you requested leave under the pretext of experiments. The important meetings you missed and the important information you failed to receive in time are as follows..."

The 12th and 13th planning meetings regarding the dismantling of the 'Tiger Organization'...

The logistics department's annual audit, and internal work meetings...

Approval regarding the investigation and handling of corruption by the treasurer's steward...

A communication request from Alphtia of the Stonemasons' Guild...

And the annual report of the base of the mastermind Celine in the world of Araghi…

Roy nodded.

"Remind me to handle this later."

However, before that, he was more concerned about his current situation.

"Physical strength: 12 degrees (+655 degrees)..."

Spirit: 1024 degrees (+655 degrees)...

"My physical attributes have dropped significantly."

But it’s no wonder.

I chose to hatch from a dragon egg and then grow physically.

This is equivalent to being reborn as a golden dragon, retracing the path of growth and development.

If one lacks a solid foundation or the wisdom of the sages, one will directly fall into a period of weakness.

And then there's the matter of the soul.

If it weren't for the fact that I had entrusted my spiritual energy to the Soul Gem, I would have lost more than half of it even if it had been forcibly torn off.

You might even regress in level!

But now, it's been transferred almost perfectly.

This is the wonderful use of the Soul Stone!

Roy was very satisfied with this.

Because the physical body is relatively easy to cultivate, while the spirit and soul are the essence.

The Soul Gem provides a convenient interface for transfer.

In its final form, it can even achieve "hot-swap" functionality, allowing it to be transferred freely between multiple bodies!
However, this is not easy to do, at least not something that can be mastered in a short period of time.

After enjoying a hearty meal, Roy wiped his mouth with the soft silk handkerchief that Alice handed him and stood up.

"It's time to take your medicine!"

******
"Gurgle..."

Inside the alchemy room.

A small pot is simmering a black broth.

The substance that gradually became viscous inside was the magic potion that Roy had prepared for this new body.

But it's not some kind of power or magic; it's something more fundamental and basic.

"Knowledge Potion, Mastery of Abyssal Language!"
"Finally, it's come in handy!"

Roy stared thoughtfully at the terrifying black broth, which resembled demonic blood.

The soul has weight.

Spirituality is like clear water; it has its limits in terms of the knowledge and abilities it can hold.

If you drink these things without restraint during the second stage, although it may not necessarily cause problems in the short term.

However, small accumulations can also have negative consequences.

Besides that, there's digestion and absorption...

At the time, I didn't really need "Mastery of the Abyss Language," so it was of no use to me.

Now, having acquired the talent of [Dragon Language Magic], he has begun to delve into "Superior Species Magic" based on the Golden Dragon bloodline.

That's why it's necessary to be proficient in this language.

"Given the dragon race's existing talent of [Mastery of Abyss Language], advancing to 'Proficiency' should be a natural progression..."

Sure enough, after Roy took down the small pot, poured the contents into a cup, and drank it...

A jumble of information flooded my mind and entered my soul.

The message in the language of the abyss surfaced as if by instinct.

Even the celestial language associated with it seems to have improved.

Meanwhile, on the natal chart representing the Golden Dragon...

"..."

The stars that were already shining were a symbol of mastery of the Abyss Language.

It became increasingly dazzling.

It has transformed into [Mastery of Abyssal Language]!
……

after this.

Roy pressed on with his momentum.

Then refine the skill seed "Otherworld Summoning" that I obtained earlier.

The [Otherworld Summoning] also transformed into another star, appearing within the elegant golden dragon pattern.

This ability allows him to communicate with the astral void, reducing the cost of remote summoning.

Many interdimensional creatures migrate using dimensional tides, but their journeys are often aimless.

Only by using specific spells to establish a dimensional beacon can it be summoned at a relatively low cost.

Now, Roy has mastered a way to open the "gateway to another world" and summon these creatures without any instruction.

If we don't adopt this method of awakening, but instead rely on knowledge, we don't know how much basic subject matter and fundamental knowledge we will acquire.

That means you're basically going down the path of summoning wizards.

But now, it seems to have been accomplished in one fell swoop.

Roy couldn't wait to give it a quick try.

"~~~..."

(Interdimensional Summoning)
Amidst the murmured incantations.

The heat and flames appeared on the training ground.

A small group of half-humanoid fire elementals responded to the ancient summoning pact, descending upon this place with him as their beacon.

"This is the orthodox summoning magic..."

Freya witnessed this scene at the training ground, and she was certain that Roy had never learned anything like this before.

However, Roy quickly canceled the summoning spell and drove them away.

"What I want to master right now is not the ability to summon these small monsters."

Instead, they sought to establish friendly and stable relationships with certain powerful entities so that they could obtain their power when they needed their services.

"This is not easy to do."

"Fria said."

Roy said, "It's not just difficult; you could say that the real difficulty of summoning lies here, not in the spell itself."

Summoning magic is just an empty shell; what's inside depends on other efforts.

That wasn't a resource he could easily obtain in a short time, so he didn't waste his time on it and instead started thinking about something else.

……

"After I advanced to level three, the appraisal ability of the Eye of Hermes was enhanced once again."

Finally, I can see everything about the Ghostly Witch's body clearly!

However, it seems that in terms of judgment, it was only the physical advancement granted by the Golden Dragon Reincarnation that allowed me to reach this point…

Roy gently stroked his hair, which emitted a mysterious, ethereal glow, like the aurora borealis floating above it.

"Tricks' Darkness (Level 7)..."

The physical manifestation of laws originating from the dark hair of the ancient demon goddess Trix...

It can transform into a mother body, bearing the power of the corresponding domain…

Very brief information.

However, Roy already possessed a considerable amount of basic knowledge and quickly realized that in the language of Vizel, "Tricks" was often used to describe the magical hair of higher beings.

This is actually a concept of "hair" condensed from a strange demon god named after it...

Perhaps it should be said that it is like the physical manifestation of laws seen through the Eye of Hermes.

Concepts, the power of laws, the seeds of laws, the entities of laws, etc.

It is a series of progressively related nouns.

It is often used to describe the essential power of gods or deities to control everything in the world.

They constructed a series of descriptive terms from low to high.

The physical manifestation of laws—that is indeed a god-level ability at the "manifestation of laws" stage.

Knowing this, Roy was more confident in how to use this power.

I drank the "Thousand-Shot Potion" before, so this route should be feasible.

"Unfortunately, just as I had sensed before..."

If the soul is the foundation of everything.

So, all kinds of knowledge and abilities don't actually represent this essence.

No matter how you look at it, this thing comes from the power of other people or demons.

And everything I have now, including what I eat and use, what has become part of my flesh and blood and even my soul.

Is it truly true that all extraordinary power originates from within oneself?

He was contemplating this ultimate dialectical issue, considering whether or not to disassemble these concepts and abilities into soul equipment supported by [Conceptual Armament].

This may, to some extent, promote the deconstruction of "restoring one's true self," thereby better recognizing one's own essence and achieving an elevation of one's spiritual status.

……

After that, Roy returned to work.

The cultivation of the Golden Dragon Body cannot be achieved overnight.

Even with various methods to induce growth, it would still take at least several decades or even centuries for them to grow to a satisfactory size.

He planned to resolve the issue of inscribing the level three talent first.

"Activation Techniques"...

It's time for him to be promoted.

Floating Island, Upper City.

Inside the Logistics Department office.

"Lord Roy, have you completed your witchcraft experiment?"

When the female clerk, Ruilier, saw Roy appear with Angaree again, she was slightly surprised and suspicious.

However, he quickly suppressed his curiosity and handed over the documents.

Roy quickly flipped through the pages, his powerful mental energy sweeping across them.

"Is there anything urgent recently?"

He looked at it and asked questions.

Ruilier said, "Treasurer, the first-level wizard Krusip has fled to avoid punishment... This matter needs to be dealt with as a priority."

******
Roy stopped flipping through the documents.

He remembered that Celine had reported this before.

"According to the information provided by His Excellency Legatus, this guy may have already made contact with the local natives," said Reilly.

Roy was puzzled: "Why would Krusip think of doing that?"

Ruilier explained, "He also knew he couldn't escape his guilt and wanted to provide them with some important resources and wizarding knowledge in exchange for the protection of the natives' level three powerhouses."

The indigenous people may still have some doubts now, but once it's confirmed, things will be more difficult.

The administration recommends killing him, but this requires your signature.

"Ok."

Roy rubbed his forehead, looking slightly troubled.

"I'll sign."

As a political appointee, he doesn't really need to take responsibility for the messes his subordinates make.

But the fact that such a thing happened in the logistics department is enough to show that his superior is indeed somewhat lazy in his duties.

"The work isn't quite up to par!"

Roy, who was somewhat narcissistic, felt a bit uncomfortable, thinking that he was not perfect.

Moreover, while the power to decide life and death may seem immense, the corresponding responsibilities and troubles are also considerable.

"Tell me, how exactly did things turn out like this?"

After Riel left, Roy, without regard for Anjali's presence, inquired about the Skull of the Maiden.

"Our initial guess is that he is dissatisfied because he has not been promoted for a long time."

He wanted more resources and power, but had no way to do so, so he took a desperate gamble.

The girl's skull was explained simply.

"As for his foolish choice to defect, it's because he wasn't born in Vizel and probably doesn't fully understand the power of the Seven Towers Alliance."

Just like in the eyes of the natives of the world of Aragir, it was merely a second-level wizard who came to their land to establish his rule…

"Never mind all that, let's get ready for the inventory."

Roy said.

There are still quite a few things that have been piling up, and he plans to focus on dealing with them.

……

end of June.

In the warehouse under the jurisdiction of the logistics department.

The treasurer's staff had been waiting in advance for their superior, Roy, to arrive for an inspection.

"Lord Roy, this way please."

Bloodline wizard Bocre was responsible for introducing the general situation of various warehouses.

This is the common warehouse for the expeditionary force and its subordinates, providing various logistical support.

Besides high-value items such as magic stones and various sorcery materials, the expeditionary legion also needs a large amount of ungraded supplies.

Leaving aside other matters, there are already quite a few living supplies for the apprentices and their respective followers, as well as the soldiers, including food, drink, and sanitation.

This needs to meet the needs of tens of thousands of people and extend to strategic reserves on a larger scale.

In addition, the distribution and circulation of many supplies also fall within the responsibilities of the logistics department.

Just like a second-class treasure, in order to be distributed to a person who has made meritorious contributions, it must go through a process of merit confirmation, treasury application, administrative approval, and special commissioner distribution.

If it is relatively scarce, it is necessary to report it to the alliance for application.

Fortunately, these have all been institutionalized, with fixed procedures and responsible personnel.

Even if a treasurer were to defect, the harm he could cause would only affect the area under his jurisdiction.

However, Roy's mind had already shifted from that unpleasant matter to the much-anticipated inventory check.

"Push all those magic stones out, okay, put them there..."

Bokley directed his men to display the magic stones stored in the storage room.

According to regulations, a full 100 million were neatly stacked and properly stored using an energy-gathering magic array.

Roy glanced at it briefly: "Not bad, full of magic."

They were immediately instructed to reseal it and move on to the next room.

Another full million...

Then came more rooms, more kinds of materials and supplies.

[Alchemy talent gain is in progress (77%→79%)]

Suddenly, while inspecting one of the rooms, a strange object shaped like a bull's horn caught his attention.

"Angali, bring that thing over here."

Roy pointed.

Anjali quickly did as instructed.

Roy took it and examined it carefully using the Eye of Hermes.

"Talf's Horn (Level 1)..."

The demonic horn from the powerful Yodakar warrior 'Talf'...

The will of the defeated clings to the demonic horns born of alienation, silently awaiting the moment to reignite.

"It is destiny..."

Roy thought to himself.

Just as killing Chieftain Kaelon grants one divine favor.

In this world, there are quite a few chakra warriors who can plunder each other to become powerful.

This may be related to the "blood of the loser" that I identified earlier.

The so-called "blood of the loser" is essentially a kind of destiny, an existence related to will.

Ultimately, it all traces back to the essence of the soul, the part that is recognized by the world's will.

"This is a world of chakra warriors, emphasizing secret martial arts training, where the victor reigns supreme."

The characteristics and preferences of the World Will determine that it promotes stronger Chakra Warriors.

This characteristic and preference even transcends the world and race, extending to wizards from other countries.

This is actually why I had Prandtse and Nisha practice it.

Wizards discovered this characteristic long ago, and their main method of plunder was to cultivate Chakra Warriors.

Such a world could potentially form a peculiar symbiotic relationship with wizards.

I've been here for quite some time, but the talents I've acquired haven't yet manifested, and my progress in accumulating source essence is limited. This might be because my soul energy has increased significantly, making me more inclined to acquire advanced talents, which makes it harder for them to crystallize.

But there is another possibility.

That is, one must personally defeat the powerful natives in order to easily seize the Mandate of Heaven!

This method of simply taking what's readily available from the warehouse goes against the preferences of the world's will.

"Lord Roy, please..."

Bocree and the others were unaware of Roy's thoughts and simply continued.

After a quick look, Roy took Anjali and left the storeroom. Suddenly, he saw Rheil rushing over: "Lord Roy, something has happened!"

"what's up?"

Roy stopped and turned to ask.

Ruilier hurriedly said, "Reports from the front lines indicate that His Excellency Impetto was attacked and injured, and has to retreat temporarily."

Several strongholds fell as a result, and the mages immediately became restless, seemingly intending to join forces with the natives to launch an attack!

He was then told that Legatus from the administration requested a meeting with him to discuss countermeasures.

"understood."

Roy nodded calmly, his expression serene.

He quickly arrived in Legatus and inquired about the specific situation.

"It seems that war is about to reignite inevitably."

Legatus didn't mention Impetto much, but instead put forward another proposal.

"While the enemy is attacking and preparing for a major battle, let's take care of the 'Tiger Organization' first, to prevent them from growing too powerful amidst the chaos..."

how about it? "

******
“I have no objection to this, but wasn’t it said before that this ‘Tiger Organization’ is very troublesome, and its leader’s whereabouts are also unknown?”

"We are, after all, wizards, and through the means of witchcraft, we have gained control over some native warriors."

Legatus explained simply.

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

After that, the two of them each appointed their own generals and went about their separate tasks.

The Seven Towers Alliance's system is roughly equivalent to a nationwide military force.

Even alchemists like Roy are essentially included in the ranks of combat personnel and bear certain combat tasks.

Legatos's plan was to go down there himself and deal with the "Tiger Organization" personally.

During this period, Roy will be stationed on the floating island and prepared to receive Impetto.

……

mid-December.

Floating Island, Upper City.

Roy stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the spacious square where the fountain jets shimmered with rainbow colors in the sunlight, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"In the past two weeks, Legatos has eliminated many enemies and is about to take down the leader of the Tiger Organization, 'Serion'..."

Impetto should also arrive soon.

We'll have to ask him about it properly later, to find out exactly what happened.

Suddenly, Ruilier walked over in a panic and reported an unexpected incident.

"Lord Roy, enemies have infiltrated the sky island and sabotaged the alarm system!"

"Oh?"

Roy turned his head, his expression slightly changing.

Soon after, flames of war broke out throughout the city, indicating that there were indeed signs of an enemy invasion.

Since the enemy situation was still unclear, Roy did not act rashly, but instead used his mind to connect with the various wizard eyes placed in the city.

Surprisingly, the signal was also interfered with.

"No, this is not a simple interference phenomenon, but mental energy!"

Is this the 'divine will' of a level three chakra martial artist?

"what?"

When Ruilier learned of this, she was also quite surprised.

She was not a wizard by birth, nor had she reached the third level and mastered "divine will".

Therefore, it's not entirely clear what Roy is feeling at this moment.

"When a level three chakra martial artist masters divine will, it is essentially a means similar to the manifestation of spirit."

Their spiritual abilities only manifest at this stage, which is a result of system selection.

However, this does not mean that the spiritual energy of a level 3 martial artist is weak. They also possess an intensity of over 1000 degrees, but it is more restrained and focused on self-improvement.

Furthermore, due to the blessing of the world's will, it possesses characteristics similar to an "anti-magic field"!
If it weren't for this, the native powerhouses of this world wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long; they would have been wiped out by the wizards' expeditionary forces long ago..."

"So, a level three expert has infiltrated this place?"

Ruili immediately tensed up.

This can be considered the highest level of alert.

But soon, several guards came over and reported: "A group of people are attacking the research institute, and they seem to be looking for something."

That place...

It was the place where the guardian wizard used to research awakening potions.

They came for it!

Ruilier made a judgment immediately.

"Go and take a look first."

Roy made a quick decision and took her and Anjali with him to get there.

……

"Quickly, we don't have much time, we must finish this quickly!"

Shortly after.

In the research institute.

A group of people hurriedly left.

But just as they were about to turn to the other side and leave this dangerous place from the edge of the floating island, a handsome young man who was beyond description appeared in front of them.

Lyukos stopped in his tracks, his face turning serious.

"Roy?"

His gaze was fixed on the other person, so much so that he ignored Ruilier and Anjali who followed behind.

"Isn't this Lyukos?"

He actually advanced three levels!

Sensing the imposing aura emanating from the red-haired man in the close-fitting clothes before her, Ruilier was genuinely surprised, her face showing disbelief.

"Lord Roy, these are rebels from the independent city of Dorok in the south, who have been opposing us for a long time."

He had been active as a Level 2 user, but he had unexpectedly been promoted to Level 3.

By the way, he chose this time to sneak in; it seems he has some connection with the Tiger Organization.

After her initial surprise, she quickly reported it to the authorities.

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Lyukos laughed heartily.

"Great, it seems I'm quite lucky!"
To my surprise, upon arriving here, I encountered Roy, the weakest of the three guardian wizards.

If we capture or kill you, this operation will be a perfect success!

"The weakest Roy..."

Are you talking about me?

Roy asked quietly.

He was also frustrated.

I've only been in Yodakara for a little over 10 years, when did I gain such a reputation?

However, he really couldn't refute this statement.

For years, he had always presented himself as the head of logistics.

In addition, there's the professional identity of an alchemist.

By all accounts, he gives the impression of being a civilian employee.

Before he could even finish thinking about it, Lyukos excitedly leaped out and rushed over at an astonishing speed.

"Wolf Fang... Whirlwind Fist!"

boom!
A gigantic wolf head phantom, the size of a train engine, appeared.

As expected, he had opened his third eye chakra and gained control of the crucial power of "divine will".

In that instant, the physical power he unleashed was comparable to a spell of thousands of degrees.

Moreover, it possesses the speed, simplicity, and purity unique to martial arts.

The power unleashed the moment of attack is entirely used for offense.

Judging from his appearance, he clearly wanted to capture the leader first and eliminate Roy, the high-ranking leader among the wizards.

Roy's physical strength has declined significantly, and even with the blessing of the [Sage's Proverb], he is not as strong as before.

However, his spirit has not weakened, and when applied to himself, he can resist the interference of the "divine will" he sensed earlier.

In the blink of an eye, a Level 2 "Activation Technique" was activated.

Over 1600 degrees, more than ten times the normal value...

With the blessing of powerful magical energy, the small fist radiated a light like the blazing sun.

In an instant, the terrifying force sent Lyukos flying dozens of meters backward.

Boom!

The reckless Lyukos crashed into several walls and was engulfed in smoke and dust.

"This is……"

But Roy didn't give chase; instead, he stopped where he was and froze for a moment.

He suddenly sensed that amidst the various expressions of shock, astonishment, and disbelief on the faces of those around him, a mysterious spiritual energy was converging and subtly stimulating his brow.

A semi-transparent, illusory panel appeared.

[Alchemy talent gain is in progress (79%→100%)]

【Destroying Strength and Resilience (Silver Level)】

[When dismantling items, the corresponding ability level increases by 2]

"Is this okay?"

In a flash, he suddenly realized an unbelievable truth.

This world reveres martial arts...

"So even defeating a powerful enemy can grant one a destiny, and this is an alchemical talent primarily focused on dismantling and destruction?"

(End of this chapter)
