The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

The next moment, the insect dragon's throat began to churn rapidly.

Wisps of pigment fire surged from the body's special organs for storing flames, then gathered in the mouth.

Then a dragon's roar resounded.

"roar--!"

In an instant, the materialized dragon roar merged with the flames of numerous alchemical pigments.

It then immediately transformed into a dragon's breath, rushing rapidly toward the long-necked unicorn beetle.

Meanwhile, the long-necked unicorn was also rushing towards the insect dragon.

Therefore, just moments later, the two collided.

Rumble!

A cracking sound rang out.

In an instant, the dragon's breath, formed from the fire of a large amount of alchemical pigments, burst open.

The long-necked unicorn's neck immediately broke off upon the explosion.

The heart of the long-necked unicorn is located here.

And then the next moment.

The long-necked unicorn immediately lost its balance and fell to its side with a thud.

The other party did not turn into a sculpture.

Instead, it turned into a corpse.

At the same time, a series of messages appeared on the light screen beside the elf:

[Final assessment concluded]

Current ranking: 19

The elf did not immediately notice his ranking.

He also failed to notice that, due to the death of the long-necked unicorn, he had lost his view of the battlefield.

The list of the top 100 in the final assessment reappeared in the elf's mind.

But apart from himself, none of them had a name that sounded like an elf.

There were no other names that sounded like those of a superior race.

"I can't believe it..."

The elf murmured to himself, but his voice trembled slightly.

"I...I didn't get the Dark Sun rating."

And they even lost to something other than elves?

The thought of his teacher, El, who also loathed other living beings and was hardly a kind person, filled him with awe.

Kermi's face immediately turned pale.

Meanwhile, in the observation room where the formal wizards were located, the elf El was also watching this scene.

The other person was originally fiddling with the magic ring inlaid with emeralds because they were restless.

But after seeing his carefully nurtured students lose their chance to compete for the Dark Sun rating, he subconsciously forgot to control his strength.

Click...

A cracking sound rang out.

Cracks immediately appeared on the gemstone.

Elf El's expression grew increasingly grim.

Therefore, he was no longer kept in the observation room.

He immediately left without looking back.

Seeing this, Sandru glanced at El, the elf who had left the observation room.

Without saying much, he continued to observe the final assessment venue through the light screen.

However, it was discovered that the type of assessment seemed to have quietly changed.

No longer controlling his insect-like magical creatures to fight as before.

Instead, it turned into a battle royale.

As for the pursuers, they were the insect dragon that Ansu had modified and controlled.

As Ansu had a thought.

The spell scroll depicting the insect dragon's scales was influenced by this.

One by one, temporary summons resembling a combination of rats and dragons appeared beside him.

Then it immediately flapped its wings, which were covered in scales, and flew off in all directions.

Ansu will be notified immediately if any other insect-like magical creatures are spotted.

Anzu was then able to take this opportunity to control the insect dragon to fly here.

Then, through the power of spatial vortexes, it is transformed into a pure white sculpture.

Even if some examinees controlled insect-like magical creatures to hide underground, it was to no avail.

After all, when the insect dragon releases pigment-type spells, the medium that carries the spell's effect is the materialized dragon's might.

As long as the dragon's might can reach the underground cave, it can cause the spatial vortex to appear in the corresponding area.

Under Ansu's adjustments, even without the need for specific flesh and blood, the spatial vortex can still affect all living things and plants.

At that time, the insect-like magical creatures that hide underground will also lose their color and part of their soul under the influence of the spatial vortex.

Then they transformed into pure white sculptures.

As more and more pure white sculptures appeared on the battlefield, the number of insect-like magical creatures that could be controlled by the examinees decreased.

Before long, only two examinees remained.

Just as Anzu was preparing to control the insect dragon to create another batch of familiars to intensify the search, messages appeared again on the light screen beside him:

Another examinee has surrendered.

[Final victory has been achieved]

[Rating: Blood Moon → Dark Sun]

"Huh? They surrendered?"

Ansu thought he would have to put in more effort to win the final assessment.

Unexpectedly, the last examinee chose to surrender.

So he turned to look at the light screen beside him, opened the assessment ranking page, and saw the other person's name:

Hertok.

"The first insect to choose to run away was probably his."

An Su thought to herself.

The next moment, all the ranking information on the screen disappeared.

Instead, there are different types of knowledge and a line of prompts:

[You can choose one and gain related occult knowledge]

The etheric concentration of this knowledge must be higher than 300 points.

After making your selection, you will receive the corresponding tool and 10 sets of related materials.

Seeing this situation.

Ansu opened the [Alchemy] tab and then the [Alchemy Pigment] branch.

Then he began to analyze how various pieces of knowledge could affect him.

Meanwhile, in the assessment observation room.

Seeing that Ansu had successfully won first place in the final assessment and received the Dark Sun rating, Sandru's expression showed a slight smile.

"In this way, one can later apply for exemption from some, or even all, of the college's penalties."

This will allow me to prepare more thoroughly before the next massive dimensional war arrives.

Sandru thought to himself.

Then it was noticed that the one who surrendered was Hertok.

But Sandru wasn't too surprised by this.

After all, the final assessment had only just begun, so Hertok chose to control the insects to fly away from the place.

It was precisely because of this that the opponent not only obtained the Blood Moon rating, but also achieved second place, second only to Ansu.

And even if it's not a Blood Moon rating.

It can also be applied to exempt individuals from penalties imposed by the college for escaping experimental subjects.

With this in mind, Sandru immediately prepared to give the two some additional knowledge or resources.

Just as I was pondering what to give, a voice rang in my ears:

"Sandru".

The centaur withdrew its gaze from the light screen and then turned to look at the other person:

"Now that Ansu has passed the test, shouldn't we tell him about the [Original Sea of ​​Truth]?"

"certainly."

Sandru nodded slightly.

"Wait until Ansu leaves the testing area, then tell him the relevant information."

By the way...

Sandru paused, then continued:

"We can now provide the funds for the next round of investment."

...

The assessment area is made up of pure white walls.

Ansu was browsing through the available alchemy pigment formulas.

After analyzing the pros and cons, a choice was made:

[Alchemy Pigment Formula - Type 1 Colorless]

Ether concentration: 335

【Effect: Captures deities/Creates deities】

The name is very short.

The effect is also very brief.

But it's not exactly ordinary.

Just by the amount of ether contained in the name of the alchemical pigment, Ansu could sense the great effect this alchemical pigment formula would have on him.

So I chose this paint.

The next moment, the light screen disappeared, and the surrounding space distorted rapidly.

boom!

A crisp sound rang out.

Ansu turned her head toward the source of the sound.

What comes into view is a book that is a thousand pages thick, like an encyclopedia.

The words "[Alchemy Pigment Formula - Type 1 Colorless]" appeared on the cover.

"..."

It's still within expectations.

After all, the ether concentration in the corresponding pigment formula is so high that it ranks first among colorless pigments.

It certainly won't be too bad.

So Ansu picked it up.

Before I could even turn to the first page, the panel notification sound appeared in my mind without warning:

[Triggering the "Profession - Blasphemy Priest" job selection method]
