This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 242 Legendary Exclusive: Herding Demons

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"..."

Inside the towering furnace and lava tower!

The centaur-like flame-forged hero wielded the Flame Hammer of Heroes, each strike like a meteorite crashing to earth, the sound waves visible to the naked eye, sweeping through every corner of the tower.

Meteorite Forging Method

Tucker remembered that when he was chatting with Baggins before, Baggins had mentioned this forging method.

The hammer fell to the earth like a meteor, capable of shaping the material's framework to an indestructible degree, like meteorite iron.

Within this magical forging method.

Tucker's legendary demonic staff, with legendary bones at its core and demonic soul as its foundation, was gradually forged into shape by the spirit of centaur flames in the ritual flames from the great realm of gods.

Faintly, Tucker could already hear the roars and howls of demons coming from deep within the Demon Ring Staff.

The Demon Soul is being activated by the power of forging.

Feel the demon's wailing that sent shivers down your spine.

Tucker couldn't help but let a slight smile appear on his lips.

"Listen, how happy that third-tier demon is screaming!"

As the centaur-forged flames forged the heroic spirit, the air itself seemed to ignite.

Tucker estimated it to be at least four or five hundred degrees.

But for Tucker, who could already swim in lava, this level of flame temperature wasn't even considered "hot".

Observe and experience the intense heatwave.

In his spare time, Tucker opened his profile page.

[Extraordinary Sequence]

Steam Wizard: Level 33.

Origin Dark Sea: Level 33.

……

Extraordinary supernatural powers

Phase Walk (665 Fragments): Level 39.

Heart of Flame (920 Fragments): Level 39.

……

[Extraordinary Talent]

Precision Correction (SSS level): 1180%.

Steam World Primordial Spiritual State (SSS Exclusive): 2020%.

…………

During my time in St. Rand, aside from my religious practice.

Adding points is also underway.

Tucker's [Precision Correction] has been increased to 1180%, significantly improving his ability to correct and segment the world's structure compared to before.

The key is to gradually increase the power of [Heart of Flame] to 920%.

This made Tucker's talent for fire increasingly powerful.

Not only can it easily manipulate flames, but the properties of the flames are also ridiculously strong.

This is one of the reasons why Tucker was able to achieve the reputation of "the fire-breathing wizard".

Tucker even plans to upgrade his forbidden spells to a higher level in the future, once his wizarding ecosystem has the capacity to support them.

Go and learn a three-star, or even four-star, rune-level "Dragon Breath Secret Technique".

The term "Dragon Breath Wizard," which can breathe dragon's breath, sounds pretty good.

【Heart of Flame】 works in conjunction with "Dragon's Breath Technique".

Tucker estimated that even a real dragon might not be able to out-spray him.

Just as Tucker was observing his own attributes.

A voice, like a ghost in an empty valley, suddenly rang out.

"Would you like to imbue your Demon Ring Staff with its exclusive ability, [Shepherding Demons]?"

"Um?"

Tucker looked up and saw the centaur flame-forging hero, who had stopped forging, looking at him from a distance.

"Grazing demons? What does that mean?" Tucker asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's the same principle as the herdsman, except you can only do it through the Demon Ring Staff... Herding is the soul of this third-tier demon lord."

"Through herding, the demon soul can go out to hunt, devour, and kill, thus becoming stronger."

"The power of the Demon Soul will also contribute to the power of the Demon Ring Staff."

"It's equivalent to... your Demon Ring Staff, which has the ability to grow automatically, and you gain an ally who can grow into a Tier 3 Demon Lord."

"But... on the other hand, if you can't control this demon, it might break free from the staff's restraints, or even devour your soul."

Upon hearing this, Tucker immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Such a good thing can really happen?"

"【Shepherding Demons】This gives the Demon Ring Staff a means of shepherding and nurturing growth, plus a free Tier 3 Demon Lord?"

"Is this the exclusive ability of the powerful [Legendary Ring Staff]?"

As for things like demonic backlash, Tucker completely ignored them.

Want to turn on me?

This third-tier demon must have been through the harsh realities of society.

With that in mind, Tucker asked cautiously.

"Respected Forge Heroic Spirit, if my [Legendary Demon Ring Staff] is additionally granted this exclusive ability to herd demons, what price must I pay?"

The free passages within the incantations of the forging ritual initially drafted by Tucker and Baggins.

It features a series of basic staff abilities such as "Flame State", "Shadow State", "Shadow Travel", "Energy Recovery", "Quick Casting", and "Spell Reserve".

It doesn't require too many outstanding abilities.

Tucker's main goal was to utilize the most fundamental abilities of the legendary Demon Ring Staff.

It can accommodate more rune rings.

This will allow Tucker to better utilize his rune abilities.

Unexpectedly, this centaur flame-forged hero actually asked Tucker if he wanted to add a function, and such a powerful exclusive function at that.

It's impossible to get something for free.

Paying a price is inevitable.

"I will release that demon soul, and you will need to subdue it. Of course, it would be even better if you could teach it a lesson."

The centaur-forged flame-forged hero spoke slowly.

"Demons! They forever fear those stronger than themselves!"

"Defeat the demon, and your legendary Demon Ring Staff will gain the ability to herd demons."

"If you are defeated by this demonic soul."

"Then... your forging will fail, the demon will escape... and in the future, the soul of this escaped demon will come back to cause you trouble, or even seek revenge."

Tucker raised an eyebrow slightly.

The price to pay was here.

"That sounds...fair!"

Tucker nodded.

"I like this method, so let's release it!"

As Tucker finished speaking.

The centaur flame-forging hero threw the half-finished Demon Ring Staff back into the furnace.

"Roar roar roar..."

An angry roar, like thunder, rolled and surged outwards.

The flames inside the altar furnace seemed to have taken a powerful tonic, and the fire serpents spread wildly and rapidly along the furnace's exit.

Within a few breaths, the entire forging altar area had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The flames danced wildly within the altar area.

From the furnace altar.

The Flame Demon Soul of the third-tier demon quickly condensed into its own fiery body.

Its five-meter-tall silhouette stood atop the altar, its demonic horns almost touching the ceiling.

The seven- or eight-meter-long demonic tail whip resembled an anchor chain.

Even though it had just condensed, it still made a metallic clanging sound when it rubbed against the ground.

Once the third-tier fire demon "Herta" was formed, it looked at the weak third-tier human who wanted to forge it.

"Roar..."

"You weak, flesh-and-blood human being, you will pay the price for your greed!"

"roar……"

Hertara roared and suddenly opened his mouth.

"Splash...splash..."

Almost black demonic flames surged forth and spewed towards the three weak humans.

The demonic flames, powerful enough to melt mountains and burn the earth, quickly enveloped the weak, third-tier human.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

Hertara could even hear the hissing sound of flames burning life.

Just when Getafe thought they had won.

But then a calm voice rang out.

"Your demonic flames...are they that weak?"

"What?"

Hertara was taken aback.

When I looked at that third-tier human again.

But then they saw the black demonic fire that had been burning on his body.

At this moment, it was actually gathered in the palm of that third-tier human wizard's hand.

Its flames were actually controlled by that weak wizard.

This extremely concentrated demonic fire was even more intense and powerful than the flames Hertara himself spewed out.

In that instant, the fire demon Hertara felt that his dignity had been insulted like never before.

He is a powerful third-tier demon lord born from flames and magma.

The opponent was merely a weak human wizard.

"Damn humans!"

Hertara suddenly opened her mouth, spewing scorching flames mixed with the intense aura of magma, along with the demon's unique [Destruction] damage, towards Tark.

This time, there's not only the magical damage from demonic flames, but also the physical impact damage from magma eruptions, and even the demon's unique [Destruction] attribute damage.

In particular, the [Destruction] attribute damage can annihilate various defenses at both the material and energy levels.

To annihilate directly, causing matter and energy to disappear.

This is the power of the demon's unique [Destruction] damage attribute.

Faced with such an attack.

Tucker stopped trying to withstand the attack head-on. Instead, he controlled the opponent's black flames and used his one-star sorcery "Dragon Origin Scale Shield" to create a black flame shield with one palm, continuously supplying energy to block Hertara's demonic magma spews.

The rich magma, transformed from the flames, had instantly settled to a height of half a person in front of Tucker.

"Drawing upon and transforming magma from the energy veins of the flame source, it combines magical damage, physical damage, and special damage in a comprehensive way. Tsk tsk... truly worthy of being a demonic creature."

"The damage from this [Destruction] trait is quite good, but it's a bit too weak. As long as there's a continuous supply of energy, it can become a living shield."

"This amount of [Destruction] damage poses virtually no threat to me."

"As for the fire damage, needless to say."

"You could even soak your feet in his lava flames without any problem."

While raising the black flame shield to fight against the demon's lava spews.

Tucker was also carefully sensing the methods and abilities of the third-tier demon lord.

After all, it's already very difficult to find an enemy who is roughly the same level as Tucker and can also contend with him.

Although this fire demon soul was fierce in its attacks.

But ultimately, they are all based on fire.

Fire attacks account for over 95% of the damage.

With 920% of his Fire Heart, Tucker's natural resistance and defensive capabilities against fire were even more astonishing than Tucker had anticipated.

The flames of this third-tier lord demon made Tucker feel no danger whatsoever.

[Heart of Flame] possesses an ultimate mastery of fire.

Combined with Tucker's [Steam World Primal Spirit State].

This allowed Tucker to master the demonic flames and use them for his own purposes.

It can be said.

Tucker's powerful [Heart of Fire] is now a near-perfect counter to this fire demon.

If other series of demons were to arrive, they might be able to struggle for a while.

But this fire demon is a complete freebie!

This wave of lava eruption has come to an end.

Tucker also waved his hand, dispersing the Flame Shield.

"Human wizard! I admit you are very powerful..."

After two consecutive bursts of flame, Hertara stared at Tucker, shook her head, and began to speak in a low voice.

But his somber explanation was ruthlessly interrupted by Tucker.

"In fact, I don't need your acknowledgment of my strength."

"and……"

Tucker paused, took a deep breath, and continued.

"You're just bluffing here, aren't you? You're just absorbing the power of the flames to restore your strength."

Tucker's words made Hertara pause slightly.

It is indeed absorbing the power of the flames to restore its strength.

As a form of the Demon Soul, it can't even unleash a third of its power now.

Just as Herta was scrutinizing Tucker with surprise and doubt.

Tucker spoke slowly.

"You...you don't need to inhale anymore."

"Your fire techniques are basically useless against me."

"No matter how much strength I restore, it won't make any difference."

"It's just a waste of time."

"Now I'm giving you two choices. First, admit defeat and obediently crawl inside the staff to become its shepherd spirit."

"Second, I beat it up, and then it obediently crawled into the staff and became the staff's shepherd spirit."

He stared at Tucker.

Hertara growled in a low voice.

"I have a third one..."

Hertara had just opened his mouth.

A dull thud.

A bullet from the Destiny Revolver struck the depths of the Demon Soul with tremendous force.

The shot caused Hertara's entire fiery body to tremble, and she let out a miserable wail.

You don't have a third option!

Tucker said coldly.

A single shot from the Revolver of Fate is a forbidden attack, aimed directly at the deepest part of the soul and life.

Hertara hadn't even recovered yet.

Tucker's Spirit Hand descended from above like a mountain, crushing down with devastating force.

"Boom..."

The altar shook violently.

The newly formed outline of the fiery body was instantly crushed to dust by Tucker's Spirit Hand.

Hertara's demonic soul, roughly the size of a fist, fled the altar at lightning speed.

If he were even slightly slower, Tucker would have caught him on the spot.

Watching the demon soul fly at an extremely fast speed.

Tucker chuckled softly.

"The moment you came out, I could have killed you."

"I gave you a chance to show your skills, but unfortunately you weren't good enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tucker raised his Destiny Revolver.

It's time for Tucker's favorite part: shooting.

Aim!

As Tucker aimed at Demon Soul.

The world's structure and trajectory are revealed with unparalleled clarity, and they converge with the Demon Soul.

"Boom!"

The attack penetrated deep into the soul of the demon.

The demon soul was struck and howled in agony once more.

Tucker moved swiftly, like a ghostly shadow.

At the same time, he pursued the Demon Soul and began firing at high speed.

Say something.

As a demon soul, which is born with an extraordinary nature and whose soul is the essence of the extraordinary nature.

It's quite resilient.

Tucker fired over a dozen shots in succession, yet Demon Soul still managed to escape.

And with each shot Tucker fired...

Tucker felt like he had gained more than two hours of life.

Those dozen or so shots gave me an extra day of life out of thin air.

"Hmm... Demons, dragons, behemoths, even dark angels—these kinds of creatures are enormous in size, brimming with life, and possess incredibly resilient souls. They're natural-born as life-restoring vehicles!"

"A dozen or so shots a day, and you'll be healthy and live a long life."

boom!boom!boom……

After several more shots were fired.

"I surrender, I admit defeat!"

The demon soul howled and begged for mercy, surrendering.

"What did you say... I can't hear you."

boom!boom!

Tucker seized the opportunity to fire two more shots.

The demon soul was about to be shot if it stayed outside any longer.

He immediately turned and crawled into the furnace without looking back.

It's much safer inside the Demon Ring Staff than outside.

As the Demon Soul surrendered, it burrowed into the Demon Ring Staff.

This forged contract has come to a close.

After examining Tucker for several breaths, the centaur-forged holy spirit spread its hands and gestured.

The demon ring staff, which was half-forged, was taken out of the altar furnace again.

The forging process began again.

Previously, the centaur flame-forged heroic spirit had sensed that this third-tier human steam wizard contained extremely powerful runic mysteries.

When that demon soul begged for mercy.

That's when he started this not-so-small ritual bet.

Previously, he had thought that this third-tier human steam wizard was somewhat arrogant in his speech.

It now seems that this third-tier human wizard was a bit too conservative.

He could have been much bolder.

The opponent didn't even use the power of those powerful runic mysteries too much.

With his control over fire, powerful energy manipulation, a soul magic, and incredible marksmanship.

They routed Demon Soul, sending him fleeing in terror.

Although that Demon Soul wasn't at its peak.

But isn't this human wizard the same?

Just as the human wizard said, its fire flower immunity perfectly countered this fire demon.

"The five-ring staff supports the power of the fifteen-ring rune mysteries."

"And this, this is still a single system."

"Light, Shadow, Soul, Wind, Fire."

"All five series are in a five-ring state."

"Has such a powerful extraordinary genius emerged in the Three-Eyed God's Holy Spirit Kingdom?"

Lost in thought, the forging efficiency of the Centaur Flame Forging Holy Spirit steadily progressed.

While forging in the legendary demon staff's exclusive ability, [Demon Herding], which was granted to that human wizard, it was also incorporated into the design.

He further enhanced the potential and strength of this legendary demon ring staff itself.

This incredibly talented human wizard deserves it.

at the same time.

Outside the tower.

The dull rumble of forging, and the vision of the Holy Spirit forging that appeared atop the tower during the forging process.

It has already attracted the attention and covetousness of many extraordinary individuals.

And under the protection of Bevis Twain and Earl Osling.

Those extraordinary individuals did not act rashly.

Perhaps they are waiting for one last chance.

They wait until their prey is fully mature before reaping the perfect opportunity!
