Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"Boom!!"

Without the barrier to stop them, the war behemoth easily smashed through the city walls.

With the collapse of the city walls, the entire central district became their target.

"Thump! Thump thump!!"

With each step they took, the entire central urban area would tremble, and even before they were trampled, some buildings were already overwhelmed.

Like an earthquake, many fragile buildings collapsed as they shook.

Those that didn't collapse were easily pushed by the giant leg, and even the sturdiest houses and towers would crumble like paper.

Even the guild's demonized buildings collapsed under the earth-shattering giant hooves...

The wizards of Corera City tacitly divided into two groups, with the guards led by Vok landing in the city to hold back the giant beast's advance.

The returning academy wizards flew into the air and engaged in battle with the orcs on the back of the giant beast.

The battlefield suddenly presented two distinct scenes.

Vines, ice, and chains kept emerging from the city, and various binding spells were fired at the legs of the war behemoths in turn, all to slow their advance.

Above the city, however, lies the battlefield between orc wizards and academy wizards.

At first, relying on their skilled flying magic, the academy wizards flew around the giant beast in unison, causing the orc wizards' attacks to frequently miss.

Moreover, the war behemoth's enormous size made it the most conspicuous target.

They didn't need to aim; they could easily scatter a large group of orcs simply by continuously pouring witchcraft onto the back of the giant beast.

In an instant, the backs of many giant beasts exploded one after another, and the only sound above the city could be the painful roars of the orc wizards.

However, this advantage did not last long...

"roar!!"

A moment later, an orc let out a roar.

He suddenly stood still, his eyes fixed on the front, and this motionless posture was quickly spotted by a wizard.

"call out--!"

The next second, a fireball shot straight at us.

——!

At the same time, the orc's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he swiftly threw out a bone spear with a chain.

"Whoosh—!"

"boom!!"

The moment he threw it, he collided head-on with the fireball and was quickly engulfed by the flames that erupted from it.

However, at the same moment, the wizard in front did not expect that the other party would actually dodge, but instead attacked him.

Caught off guard, he was struck through the shoulder by the bone spear.

"laugh--!"

The next moment, the chain suddenly taut, and a tremendous force suddenly came.

"Whoosh—!"

The wizard had no time to react before he was forcibly dragged onto the back of the giant beast.

What awaited him was a group of hungry orcs.

They swarmed forward instantly, and with a few swift cuts, they devoured the wizard, draining his blood.

"No--!"

"Snap—crackling snap!!"

"..."

Meanwhile, as the black smoke dissipated, the orc remained firmly in place, though his abdomen had suffered considerable burns...

Above, many wizards looked on with a hint of fear at their companion's painful end.

But what terrified them even more was that after this scene unfolded, all the orcs seemed to have witnessed it and began to imitate it.

With physiques comparable to those of magical beasts, they completely ignored the witchcraft attacking from all around, focusing only on the figures traversing the air.

Once the opponent casts a spell, they will seize that fleeting moment and immediately unleash their binding magic.

At this moment, the binding magic has become a deadly spell.

In an instant, several more wizards were dragged onto the back of the war beast, becoming food for the orcs...

The battle in the central district raged on, and many wizards began to wonder:

The Wasteland Hunter seems to have become smarter?

Even Hughes had this question, yet he was currently flying swiftly over rooftop after rooftop...

"Da, da da..."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—!"

With the help of levitation, Hughes moved like a bird, nimbly weaving between one war beast after another.

The orc's slow attacks couldn't hit him at all, and he completely ignored them.

At this moment, his gaze was fixed on a war behemoth not far away, and he was constantly moving closer to it.

Because over there was the war behemoth that he had recently unlocked...

"Whoosh—"

Soon after, Hughes had quietly crept up to the vicinity, but he immediately lowered his body and then slipped into the shadow of a broken wall.

"roar--!"

At this very moment, this war behemoth, along with the orc wizards on its back, is engaged in a fierce battle with several wizards.

But Hughes didn't choose to help; instead, he peeked out and secretly observed the battle.

Those people were clearly necromancers, and he recognized them somewhat; they were probably the same necromancers who had come from the Howling Spire with him yesterday.

Suddenly, his gaze shifted downwards, and he noticed a figure not far from him.

"Hmm? This is...?"

The man stood on the ground, but instead of restraining the war beast, he was busy arranging huge bones around him, clearly preparing a summoning ritual.

Hughes... also recognized the ceremony at a glance.

"Want to summon the Skeleton Giant...?"

In the shadows, watching the ceremony that had already begun not far away, Hughes's tone suddenly turned somber.

"Sorry, I can't let you succeed."

"..."

"Edmund! How much longer will the ceremony last!"

On the other side, the necromancers were already locked in a fierce battle.

They were outnumbered; on average, each of them had to deal with three orcs, not to mention a war behemoth.

Fortunately, they had a trump card: a ritual that could summon a skeletal giant.

Although it can only last for a few minutes, it is definitely enough to destroy the enormous beast in front of us.

"Whoosh—!"

But just then, a bone chain shot out and wrapped around a wizard's ankle.

"ah--!"

"Emily!!"

"Crunch—crunch!!"

"Edmund! Hurry!"

"..."

"Tsk..."

On the ground, the earth-shaking roars intensified Edmund's fear, and the agonizing death of yet another companion only added to his mental anguish.

Fortunately, after a short while, his companions lured the giant beast aside, allowing him to recover.

"Buzzing..."

Soon after, a faint green light suddenly rose from the ground, instantly enveloping the giant bones surrounding Edmund.

The giant bone slowly dissolved and seeped into the eerie green array patterns below.

"Click—"

Soon, a huge bone hand slowly emerged from the green light.

"Very good!"

As Edmund gazed at the bony hand that could hold the entire hoof of a war beast, he felt a surge of joy during the ritual.

However, at this moment—

"roar!!!!"
