This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 135 The Terrifying Wave of Silk Threads!

The fierce resistance of the steam-powered Tucker clearly enraged the nascent puppet threads.

Soon, more and more puppet threads gathered together, like a ravenous python or a bloodthirsty vine.

They quickly gathered from the depths of darkness.

In a short period of time, the number of puppet threads increased more than tenfold.

Their target is the fire barrier created by the combined wind and fire magic powered by the steam source that Tucker built.

"Splash..."

The gathered puppet threads and vines converged into a wave of puppet threads tens of meters high.

A vast world of puppet threads was woven before Tucker's eyes.

Then, the wave of puppet threads suddenly pressed down.

"The intensity of the spirituality is more astonishing than I imagined."

"Is the puppeteer about to complete the advancement?" Tucker frowned slightly.

Tucker had been in a hurry on the way here and hadn't had time to carefully examine the inside of the puppet's threads.

However, given the current chaotic situation, Tucker's sensory abilities probably won't allow him to perceive much.

After all, sensory perception requires a stable environment.

boom……

The waves of puppet threads crashed down fiercely.

The magical wind and fire barrier that Tucker had constructed was visibly dented under the pressure.

Just when it seemed like they couldn't hold on any longer.

As Tucker rubbed his fingers together, he continued to increase the input of steam power.

woo woo woo...

Accompanied by the roar of steam, a hazy mist of steam enveloped Tucker, as a large amount of steam energy poured into the Nightmare Flames and Hurricanes.

This finally stopped the surging tide of puppet threads.

It is very difficult for others to replenish the source energy of a spell that has already been completed.

It is necessary to construct methods such as "spirit bridge runes" to facilitate the transfer of source energy.

For Tucker, this was merely a tactic attached to his SSS-level talent, Steam Origin Spiritual State.

Using steam to power the spells would have no problem extending or even enhancing them.

Thanks to these two spells, Tucker can withstand attacks for a very long time.

"alright!"

At that moment, Baggins, who was standing nearby, immediately roared.

"Walk!"

Tucker grabbed Baggins by the shoulder.

With a single Phase Walk, both of them vanished simultaneously.

Tucker withdrew.

The dense, eerie puppet threads immediately broke through the defenses and poured in with ferocious force.

The stones and pillars here were torn to shreds, and even the ground was lifted up to a thickness of half a meter.

Faced with these bizarre and grotesque puppet threads, even those who try to pass through the shadows may be caught on the spot.

Phase walking is still a safer option.

After the two phases cross.

Tucker had already arrived near the sheepfold.

Tucker looked in that direction.

as predicted.

Deep within the sheepfold, an exorcism altar had already been erected as a protective barrier.

Dozens of times more spiritual puppet threads than those used to besiege Tucker had completely enveloped the location of the exorcism altar.

Tucker even saw some unfortunate exorcists being controlled by the puppet threads.

These exorcists, along with some local superhumans, were all attacking the area protected by the exorcism altar.

The exorcists from another land, relying on the exorcism altar, are struggling to survive.

It only took a couple of glances.

A large number of puppet threads quickly wrapped around them.

Tucker and Baggins left immediately.

The river valley town shrouded in puppet threads has a [veil barrier] property in its edge areas.

It will trap the superhuman inside, making it impossible for them to escape, and ultimately turning them into puppets on the threads.

But for Tucker, it's just a phase crossing.

After several phases, Tucker had brought Baggins to the riverbank.

Tucker then placed one hand on Burgess.

In an instant, Baggins also entered Shadow Mode.

Tucker carried Baggins and quickly floated across the river.

"Taniru, your shadow techniques are truly amazing."

Feeling his shadow form return to normal, Baggins, now out of danger, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

As a third-tier alchemist, Baggins has been stuck at level 39 for a very, very long time.

Advancing to the fourth rank and becoming a mid-level alchemist is extremely difficult.

After all, these alchemists, unlike the combat order, don't easily consume potions and promotion materials.

The Shadow State, as the basic form of the Extraordinary State, can barely be considered half of the Extraordinary State.

This was one of the few opportunities he had to experience the extraordinary.

"It's a pity that we alchemists can forge these weapons, but we can't use them."

"Just like this Shadow Ring Staff, if I dare to wield it, it will use the power of shadow to kill me."

"Different extraordinary sequences have different characteristics and biases," Tucker said softly, accompanied by Baggins.

"Even if I learned how to forge extraordinary weapons, if you asked me to forge one, all I could do was hammer out a lump of scrap metal."

"Haha...that's true!"

Tucker was very fast, and in no time he had crossed the river, which was several kilometers wide.

After crossing the river, without the interference of the Black River Valley, Tucker was able to more clearly feel the roaring sound emanating from the Saint Land Steam Tower in the energy layer.

The steam ecology of Saint Land spontaneously maintains its own multi-layered ecological world.

At the same time, the rumbling of these energy layers was also transmitting power, suppressing and attacking the puppeteer's advancement in Black River Valley.

"Leave now, and don't look back!"

After crossing the river, Tucker calmly gave the order.

After glancing at Tucker, Baggins immediately slung his heavy scroll of the magical alchemy hut over his shoulder, grabbed his steam-powered short-barreled shotgun, and "wailed" as he sped away along the path.

As they gradually moved away from the Black River Valley and out of danger, Baggins's anxious heart gradually settled down.

When he turned around, the steam wizard had completely disappeared.

All he could see was a heavy, terrifying darkness.

Taking a deep breath, Baggins clenched the "Wail" in his hand and carefully examined the darkness.

"Damn bastard, don't die there!"

…………

Tucker turned back.

As if strolling leisurely, we re-entered the river valley town.

Even as Tucker moved forward, some of the puppet threads on his fingertips continued to jump.

In the midst of the chaos, Tucker was able to perceive very little information.

But Tucker had already sensed some useful information.

That is, this puppet ecosystem is indeed being controlled and transformed through the power of the steam tower.

Meanwhile... the puppeteer's transformation is progressing faster and faster.

Although I don't know how the other party did it.

However, this situation will continue as it is.

It would be very difficult to stop that puppeteer from advancing.

"We need to speed things up!"

Tucker sped toward Sheepfold 6, the last hope of the town held up by the Witcher.

…………

Sheepfold Herder Area 6.

Andrei leaned against the glass window, his face unusually pale.

The Witcher's greatest strength lies in fighting against the forces of darkness.

The power from the Dark Sun is the same; it will be restrained by them.

But this time!

That puppeteer bishop of the Church of the Dark Sun was extremely cunning.

They used steam towers to power the most primitive puppet threads to carry out large-scale attacks.

Although these puppet threads also carry some of the Dark Sun Bishop's Dark Sun characteristics.

but.

Most of the power comes from the puppeteer's most primal power.

They are not easily restrained by their exorcism powers.

This prevents them from fully utilizing their greatest strengths as witchers.

Since they can't utilize their demon-hunting abilities, they don't have much of an advantage over ordinary superhumans.

One hundred and thirty or forty witchers fought for several hours.

Now it's less than half.

Those witchers who failed in their fight were either dragged into the darkness and disappeared.

They would either be torn to shreds on the spot by the puppet's threads.

fortunately!

The exorcising holy light above the altar was powerful enough.

It can also help them fight for a longer period of time.

But as the puppeteer's threads grew stronger, and as the puppeteer advanced in rank...

Their hope of survival also began to fade.

Vast and boundless, the puppet threads were so dense that they completely obscured the view, towering like a high mountain.

As the puppet threads converged into a wave, they swept down.

Two more unfortunate fellows were dragged away in the torrent of puppet threads, disappearing into the darkness with screams.

Just as feelings of despair began to brew in my heart.

"I need your help."

Just then, Andrei suddenly heard that familiar voice.

He turned his head and saw Tanil, a steam wizard who wore a gray wizard's robe and a hood and liked to hide in the shadows.

"Damn it! I'm the one who needs your help. Quickly help us get rid of these weird silken tentacles."

With a low growl, Andrei desperately activated his two steam cores, pushing the exorcising holy light and purification properties to their limits, so as to more effectively combat those ubiquitous and eerie puppet threads.

"I can take care of these puppet strings, and I can even take care of the puppeteers behind them."

Tucker didn't waste any words and spoke quickly.

"We need the cooperation of all of you."

Andre, who knew the wizard Tanil, didn't hesitate at all.

"Things can't get any worse than they are now."

"Tell me... what I need to do!"
