Chapter 62 Transformation (Please continue reading)

A third-level wizard apprentice shouted, "Begin!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Richard unleashed three black-feathered arrows in quick succession, firing multiple shots at Davos, who was dressed in shimmering silver!

Since Davos was wearing a helmet with a nose shield, he covered his face with his shield to protect his eyes, mouth, and other vital areas. Then, a series of clanging sounds rang out as arrows struck the steel plates.

Richard looked closely and saw that Davos's armor was indeed extraordinary in its defensive capabilities. Even the black-feathered arrows fired with the great bow's immense power could not cause him any damage, not even the slightest bit.

The angle from which he had just fired was quite tricky; nine black-feathered arrows were aimed at different parts of Davos's body, including his elbows, groin, and knees, because these parts are joints and are often the weakest points in a suit of armor.

However, even in such a weak point, the defense is surprisingly strong. Richard's probing attack just now has so far failed!

Davos laughed triumphantly: "Haha, Richard, how about it? Satisfied with this gift? You're done shooting, now it's my turn to attack!"

After saying that, Davos, clad in heavy full armor, charged towards Richard like a bull, taking large strides.

Although the armor was heavy, Davos was tall and strong, and had already been promoted to a full-fledged knight. Therefore, the weight didn't significantly reduce Davos's speed!

Its impact speed is extremely fast and unstoppable!

Richard's expression remained unchanged. Now that the probing attack was over, let's start the formal attack. He drew out a longer and heavier pure steel arrow with two fingers of his right hand and drew the bowstring of the giant bow to its maximum!

The taut bowstring displayed unparalleled elasticity!

A black light flashed by, so fast it almost left an afterimage, shooting straight at Davos like lightning!

Almost as soon as the black light was about to hit Davos, the people around heard an unusually sharp sound of air being torn apart!

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!" The steel arrow struck Davos squarely in the chest. The bouncy steel arrow bent due to the immense resistance of the thorium and fell to the ground, still trembling!

In an instant, Davos was knocked back several steps by the enormous impact.

Davos looked down and was shocked to find that Richard's arrow had even dented his serpentine breastplate.

This is simply unbelievable! You have to understand that Thorium is more than three times stronger than ordinary steel!

Richard actually achieved this effect with an ordinary steel arrow. If I were wearing leather armor, that arrow would probably have pierced a hole the size of a bowl in my chest!

Davos was greatly relieved to be wearing thorium breastplates!

At the same time, he also knew that if he stayed where he was now, he would become a target for Richard, which would put him in a very passive position!

He immediately accelerated again and charged towards Richard!

Richard used Davos as a live target. With each flash of black light, the audience heard a loud bang and Davos was blasted back several meters!

After seven or eight consecutive shocks, Davos's muscles ached all over, and his thorium breastplate was covered in dents!

But Davos had a smile on his face, because he was getting closer and closer to Richard!

Richard frowned; he had also noticed the problem.

So he cast the Slow spell for the first time, but to avoid being too shocking, Richard deliberately slowed down the casting speed, taking two seconds to cast the Slow spell on Davos!

Suddenly, a ball of black light enveloped Davos!

Davos's movement speed was greatly reduced!

The entire battle was once again under Richard's control. Richard shot arrows while simultaneously widening the distance between himself and Davos, giving the impression of toying with a tortoise!

Meanwhile, the many freshmen in the audience were discussing among themselves.

"Holy crap! Richard just cast a slow spell! And he cast it so fast!" A freshman was so surprised when he saw Richard cast the slow spell that his eyes almost popped out of his head!

"That's right, I also practice the Slow spell. Judging from Richard's skillful casting process, his mastery of the Slow spell should have reached a proficient level!" A freshman next to him said with certainty, because Richard's Slow spell was much faster and more effective than his own rudimentary one.

"Hiss! A proficient level of Slow spell? But Richard has only been here for about four months! Didn't I hear that his wizarding aptitude isn't that great?" another freshman questioned.

"He's been hiding it well. Now I understand why Davos lost last time! Richard is so cunning! Everyone thought he was good at archery and swordsmanship, but I never expected that he had secretly practiced witchcraft!" The speaker was Conrad, the one who had been intimidated by William.

"Yeah, no wonder Davos said Richard tricked him last time, now I understand! He didn't use any magic before, only when fighting Davos! That's really insidious!" A chubby boy next to him chimed in.

"Hey, thank goodness my opponent wasn't Richard. If I were Davos, I'd be spitting blood too! I'd definitely be killed by Richard's scheme!" another boy said, shaking his head.

On the stands, Milo stared wide-eyed at the silver-haired girl Karina, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes!

"Meiluo, your good junior is no ordinary person! He's been hiding his talent so well! Last time I asked him who he learned archery from, but he kept it a secret. Now it seems I was too naive; this guy has only been showing the tip of the iceberg!"

"I don't know either, when did he learn level zero witchcraft!" Meiluo was also quite confused, after all, Richard was the one who took her to complete the enrollment procedures, and she knew a bit about wizard aptitude and such.

But after a few months, Meiluo realized that in terms of strength, Richard seemed to be more like a senior than them, and they seemed to be more like newcomers!

Meanwhile, the official wizards on the central platform seemed to have noticed Richard's intentions.

"Huh! This seems to be more than just a proficient level of Slow spell; it looks like it's at the master level!" the witch Maya said, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Yes, it should be at the Proficiency level. Look at how slowed his opponent's movement speed was reduced. A Slow spell at the Expert level shouldn't be able to do that!" Professor Evan confirmed after taking a look.

Seras immediately knew that what the two wizards beside him said was absolutely true.

But Richard, his disciple whom he didn't have much faith in, actually mastered the Slow Technique at the Proficiency level so quickly!

This really surprised him!

"Maya, let me tell you first, I've taken a liking to Richard." Ivan turned to Maya and said with a smile.

"Not at all, you know I rarely take on male apprentices!" Maya smiled gently.

"Evan, you're a bit late. Richard is already my disciple!" Seras said with a smile.

"What? When did you do this, Seras?" Evan asked in surprise. He knew that Seras was obsessed with alchemy and rarely took on apprentices.

"This Richard is someone I brought with me from my school of thought; his elders and I have some connection!"

"I see!" After hearing Celes' explanation, Ivan gave a wry smile. He had finally found someone he liked, but she was already taken!

The witch Maya stood to the side, laughing heartily!

The scene returns to the arena, where Davos, under the effect of the Slow spell, moves as slowly as a tortoise!

At this moment, he was being attacked by Richard like a live target. If it weren't for the amazing defensive power of his armor, Davos would probably have been riddled with bullets by now!

Davos was also extremely conflicted at this moment; it seemed that he had no choice but to use that move!

He originally intended to save that trump card for when he was closer to Richard, so that he could use it unexpectedly.

Davos roared, and his entire body began to undergo an astonishing transformation. His hair began to grow rapidly, his face began to deform, his upper and lower jaws lengthened, his teeth became sharper, and his ears elongated, turning him into a giant black wolf that walked upright!

The armor that once fit him perfectly now hung loosely on his body, like children's clothing.

Davos suddenly transformed into a giant black werewolf over two meters tall, and a strange, invisible force field began to emanate from his body. The effect of the slow spell that Richard had cast earlier had long since been dispelled without a trace!

The many freshmen in the venue stared blankly at the scene before them!

I was just saying Richard was a treacherous and cunning person, but now it seems Davos is no less so!

I've never heard of Davos ever learning this kind of transformation technique before!

Richard fired an arrow, but Davos, who had transformed into a black werewolf, dodged it instantly!

"That speed!" Richard's pupils constricted!

Trouble!

Thank you to the particularly discerning bookworm and the author for the monthly pass!
