This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 133 Puppet Master: Ecological Cycle!

A town on the edge of a river valley!

When Tucker and Andrei arrived.

The entire town on the edge of the valley was now shrouded in darkness and silence.

The outline of the town on the edge of the valley can be vaguely seen.

But there wasn't a single light in sight, nor a sound of noise.

as if!

The river valley town is practically dead.

More importantly...

A nameless fear began to creep into Andrei's heart, and he even felt somewhat reluctant to approach the town on the edge of the valley.

I looked at the river valley town shrouded in the dark puppet threads.

He then glanced at Andrei Van, who looked slightly frightened and uneasy.

"The ecosystem's resilience... seems a bit weak!"

Tucker thought to himself.

Other sequences of extraordinary beings do not pay as much attention to the extraordinary ecosystem as wizards.

In addition, their own ecosystems are relatively small.

They are more likely to show fear of all kinds of bizarre, terrifying, strange, and mysterious forces.

But for wizards who seek to explore the essence of the world...

I like to look at everything more closely to find out why.

To analyze, to understand, and to glimpse the essence of the world.

It is humanity's most primal thirst for knowledge.

It is also an inevitable journey for the wizarding sequence to summarize the rules of the world.

Clang!

Rune: Demon Hunter Silver Blade, its blade gleaming.

Andrei's ring-shaped pupils widened even further.

woo woo woo...

The steam began to hum slightly.

"Be careful, there's danger. Stay behind me."

At the crucial moment, Andrei ultimately overcame his fear with courage.

"Walk!"

Tucker, in his shadow form, followed silently behind him.

And within Tucker's line of sight.

Numerous, densely packed, eerie puppet threads continuously bloomed and absorbed nutrients from the Black River Valley into the surrounding world, accompanied by the drizzling rain.

It's like it desperately needs a certain characteristic of the world.

"Could it be... that I severed the gate to the outer realms, or perhaps closed the inner realm's smaller world, thus disrupting the puppeteer's advancement?"

"That's possible. After all, there are a lot of veins blooming inside that otherworldly gate, radiating into the surrounding world."

"Sometimes, a small, key change can lead to completely different results."

"It seems..."

Tucker looked toward the Black River Valley.

"The advancement of a puppeteer is most likely like walking a tightrope; a slight misstep could lead to utter ruin."

"Unlike my promotion, which was a pursuit of a simple and steady path, not only without any danger, but also somewhat boring."

"But then again, which expert at this level doesn't walk a tightrope when they advance?"

"We've already applied the intensity to the opponent, but it's clearly still not enough."

"We still need..."

Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Increase the effort!"

The two quickly approached the town on the edge of the valley, one after the other.

Passing through the terrifying curtain.

The view ahead suddenly opened up.

Several fires flickered in the rain.

Amidst the eerie roars, one could vaguely hear the howls and howls of the Dark Sun's Depravity.

"Hi... what happened inside?"

Andrei saw a figure flash by ahead and quickly called out.

The figure paused, then twisted its body and turned around. While its upper body turned, its lower body remained the same, and a fearful smile spread across its face.

It's like an inexperienced puppeteer manipulating his new toy.

"Damn it! He's been subdued."

"That puppeteer is completing his advanced mastery."

The second-tier superhuman, controlled by the puppet's threads, was almost dragged towards the two of them.

laugh!

A gleaming silver blade flashed.

The head of the second-tier transcendent being was thrown into the air and landed four or five meters away.

A bizarre scene unfolded: its head bounced on the ground once, then flew up and landed back where its neck had been.

Andrei, of course, would not allow him to have his way.

"Silver Cross Light Slash!"

The silver cross-shaped light blade slammed into the leaping head.

laugh!

The head was divided into four parts.

Andrei moved with incredible speed, his figure nimbly becoming a blur, the Rune-Crafted Demon Hunter Silver Blade in his hand constantly flashing with demon-hunting silver light.

In an instant, he chopped the man into more than a dozen pieces.

Even so, those arms, legs and other body parts still twisted and struggled, even trying to stitch themselves back together automatically.

"Use exorcism!" Tucker said in a deep voice.

Andrei immediately held the Demon-Slaying Silver Blade to his chest and chanted a prayer in a low voice.

The light quickly gathered and condensed into a pillar of exorcising holy light in front of him, which once pushed away the darkness.

As the exorcism incantation was chanted.

The light poured onto the shattered corpse, and flames danced on the pieces of flesh, which sizzled and hissed. Soon the pieces of flesh went still.

Before Andrei could even be happy.

Figures were already moving around them, and a large number of superhumans controlled by the puppet's silk threads were gathering towards the two of them.

Andrei's attack attracted even more puppet superhumans.

"Damn it... what do we do, Tanil!"

Andrei, wielding the Rune-Enchanted Demon Hunter Silver Blade, warily surveyed his surroundings.

He wasn't afraid of these low-level superhumans.

What he feared was the strange methods used to secretly control these low-level superhumans.

If fighting can solve the problem, then that would be a good solution.

But the fear is that in the process of killing, he himself might become a part of these puppets.

He was still very vigilant in dealing with such bizarre methods.

Tucker glanced around and spoke quickly.

"Andrei, go to Sheepfold No. 6. That's where you established your purification base."

"Even if the puppeteer launches a sneak attack, the purification base over there can help your teammates stabilize the situation."

"If your teammates aren't there, run!"

"We are no match for puppeteers of this level."

"Also, ignore these puppet superhumans; they're... beyond saving."

"Don't kill them either. If you kill them, some of the strange threads will be grafted onto you."

"With this 'grafting' characteristic, the more you kill, the faster you die."

Sure enough!

Andrei's heart skipped a beat.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? I've already killed one."

"If you don't kill one, I won't know about this bizarre characteristic."

"What about those weird puppet threads grafted onto my body?"

"Self-exorcism and purification can have good results."

"Understood! Then I'll purify myself by exorcising demons while simultaneously engaging in slaughter!"

Holding the gleaming Demon Hunter's Silver Blade in his hand, Andrei's silver-ringed pupils shone with an intense light.

"Then be careful."

"The same to you!"

With his teammates on his mind, Andrei quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Tucker watched as the superhumans surged in from all sides, like walking corpses.

After casting a minor Hurricane spell on himself, he moved forward rapidly in shadow form.

Even though those superhumans wanted to surround Tucker.

But they were still rather stiff and sluggish, and Tucker easily passed through them.

Clearly, that puppeteer was still some distance from advancing to the next level.

Once it completes its advancement, things will be completely different.

At that time, these puppet creatures will be able to unleash at least 80-90% of their strength as superhumans.

When the puppeteer is in full control, they can unleash their full combat power.

It is said that some puppeteers, when possessing the supernatural ability of "Overload", can unleash the full potential of these puppets at 120% or even 150%.

Of course, the practicality of this overload capability comes at the cost of burning these puppet creatures.

These are now rigid and not very threatening puppet creatures.

Tucker continued to move forward, relying on his agile movements.

Although wizards don't need movement skills, Tucker had previously fought alongside Berlank and had recently been working with these witchers to clear out the herdsmen.

Under constant exposure, Tucker would subconsciously memorize those excellent movement techniques, bursts of power and energy, and even movements that perfectly aligned with the trajectory.

These movement techniques are still very useful in low-intensity combat.

After all, in the realm of the extraordinary, low-intensity battles are often the majority of the battles.

At the same time, the daily movements and steps, in accordance with mysterious trajectories, allow Tucker to more effectively perceive deeper layers of the world's context and trajectory from the smallest details.

Along the way, Tucker saw a large number of bizarre puppet superhumans.

Among them were some trainee superhumans and first-order superhumans.

It was as if... all the superhumans who controlled the entire Black River Valley had come out in droves to conduct large-scale training.

"That puppeteer is using this method to enhance his control and thus advance his skill level."

"Furthermore, he is completely unafraid of the combat and losses of these puppet superhumans."

"Fighting against puppet superhumans will only accelerate their advancement in high-level control abilities."

"Even dispelling it... might not be effective."

With these thoughts in mind, Tucker couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

"These puppet threads are constantly being spewed out from the tower in Black River Valley, and then absorbed back in."

"It's as if it's completing its own ecological cycle."

"In fact, he was using the steam tower to drive this cycle."

"Dispelling it will only accelerate this cycle."

"It's highly likely that the puppeteer is using these alien demon hunters to fight against the power channeled from Saint Rand, while simultaneously using them as a whetstone to accelerate their own advancement?"

"If that's the case..."

Upon reflection, a fierce glint appeared in Tucker's eyes.

"That puppeteer really... asked for it!"
