Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"Well--"

The war behemoth almost roared out a sound wave, which became a tangible sound wave that made Edmund's eardrums buzz.

However, before it could react, another companion's scream reached its ears.

"ah--!"

He looked in the direction of the sound and found that the war beast's eyes were now bloodshot, and it seemed to have fallen into some kind of madness.

"Thump! Thump thump thump!!!"

The opponent thrashed its body wildly, its four giant hooves slamming into the ground in alternating motions, shaking the entire area and causing even the remaining buildings around it to collapse.

His companion, on the other hand, had probably already been knocked into some unknown building.

"hateful……"

However, seeing that he was the only one left, Edmund did not back down. Instead, he gritted his teeth and tried to keep the ceremony going.

After all, as long as he can summon the Skeleton Giant, he still has a chance to turn the tide.

But how could such a conspicuous bony hand not attract the attention of the war behemoth?

The next second, it turned its head, its eyes like two huge red lamps, scanning Edmund's direction intently.

"roar--!!!"

As soon as the roar ended, he rushed towards the other party.

"Thump! Thump thump!!"

Seeing the giant beast charging towards him, Edmund had no choice but to abruptly end the ritual.

However, before he could recover from the excruciating pain of the backlash from his mental energy, a large shadow suddenly loomed over him.

——!

He looked up and his expression suddenly froze.

A huge beast's hoof was already hovering above his head. In the blink of an eye, the war beast had already charged in front of him.

"It's over..."

"Thump!!!"

The next moment, the giant hoof slammed down, the ground instantly cracked, and the giant bone hand not far away turned into dust.

"Da, da da..."

At the same time, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

That was none other than Hughes. At this moment, he stared intently at the berserk behemoth before him, seemingly unafraid of its trampling.

The behemoth of war, enraged, seemed oblivious to the sudden appearance of the human, continuing to twist its body wildly in place.

Just moments ago, Hughes had already taken control of the war behemoth before him, and now he was its true master.

As for the original...

Thinking of this, Hughes's gaze slowly moved upwards, and then his figure suddenly flashed, rapidly climbing upwards.

"Whoosh—!"

"..."

Meanwhile, the orcs on the war beast's back were also having a difficult time as the beast shook violently.

Clearly, they didn't know why this war beast had suddenly gone berserk, and at this moment they could only hold on tightly to the protruding bones of the beast to keep their balance.

"Whoosh—! Whoosh—!!"

At that moment, an orc was digging his fingers into a protruding bone spike beside him, then turned and roared forward:

"What... exactly is going on?!"

There, a thin orc wizard had just steadied himself when he immediately aimed his bone staff at the rune array beneath his feet.

"The rune array is fine; it's this idiot who got angry!"

He was clearly panicked at this moment, and with no other options, he could only keep pouring his magic power into the rune array in front of him.

"Damn it, this kind of thing doesn't seem to have appeared in this orc's memories before!"

As they spoke, the war beast suddenly raised its head and let out a roar.

"roar--!!"

The orc wizard slipped and only managed to steady himself by using the gathered air currents.

Fortunately, after he shouted, the war behemoth suddenly stopped.

"Damn it, I'll kill you sooner or later."

The orc wizard slowly stood up.

However, just as he was about to regain control of the war behemoth, it suddenly turned around and then ran straight off in one direction.

"Thump! Thump thump!!"

This attack sent the two orcs, who hadn't even gotten their footing yet, flying through the air, and even the orc wizard nearly slid off the giant beast's head.

"What are you doing?!"

"It wasn't me! It moved on its own!"

"..."

The sudden rampage of the war behemoth left everyone bewildered, and no one noticed that a figure was rapidly approaching from below...

"Whoosh—!"

The next moment, a masked wizard in black robes appeared without warning on the back of the war behemoth.

"Bang!!"

The next second, an orc's head exploded on the spot, and its body collapsed to its knees, powerless.

Then the black-robed wizard slowly walked over, his hands already rippling with waves.

It was none other than Hughes. Before the orcs in front of him could react, he pushed his hands out forcefully, and the Shattering Impact quickly blasted out in a fan shape.

"Boom—Bang!!"

Five orcs were blasted away on the spot, but fortunately, the high-protruding bone spikes on the edge stopped them.

On the other side, the alarmed orc wizard immediately shouted:

"Drain his blood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen orcs around him roared and charged at Hughes with their weapons raised.

However, Hughes did not choose to fly into the air when faced with the group of orcs that were about to surround him.

He first used his deflection shield to block several incoming spells, then quickly turned to the side to dodge the barrage of bolts.

Once the orcs had completely surrounded him, he suddenly spread his arms wide and immediately unleashed the Shattering Strike in a hemispherical shape.

"boom--!!!"

After a loud bang, the impact blasted all the orcs around Hughes away, and several of those who were close by were instantly blasted into pieces.

The next instant, Hughes quickly turned his head, his gaze passing over the fallen orc and looking straight at the top of the war behemoth's head.

...buzzing

There, the orc wizard held his staff high, a dark green vortex swirling above his head, emitting a piercing shriek.

Without hesitation, Hughes immediately raised his hand and quickly waved it to his side.

"Whoosh—!"

The next second, a two-meter-long spatial blade shot out instantly.

The Blade of Space is colorless and formless, just like a rapidly moving transparent thread.

Before the orc wizard could even notice anything amiss, the spatial blade had already pierced through his waist and abdomen.

"laugh--"

With a soft sound, the orc wizard's eyes widened suddenly.

A line of blood appeared on his waist, and blood gushed out instantly. Then his entire upper body slowly slid down.

"thump."

But Hughes did not stop there. He fired several more spatial blades, and countless sharp points flashed and shattered the orc wizard's two halves of body.

"Whoosh—swish swish swish—"

Only then did the "orc" completely die, and the vortex above his head dissipated.

Meanwhile, Hughes had turned his attention to the remaining orcs.
