This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 244 Herding Demons, Bloody Slaughter! (5K)

Shortly after, Baggins woke up.

His small eyes were dazed for a while, then confused for a while, and after a long time, he slowly realized where he was and what he was there to do.

"Oh, damn it, I almost got roasted."

Baggins bounced up like a round balloon.

Even a peak-level dwarf of the third tier possesses formidable strength.

We are examining the entire process of Baggins' recovery.

Tucker rubbed his temples.

"This... the brain takes a bit long to boot up! Aren't organisms with fewer brain cells supposed to boot up faster?"

Just then, Baggins, who had finally remembered something, immediately shouted loudly.

"I feel a flood of information bubbling up in my head. Oh! Damn, my brain is so itchy. I need to meditate for a while."

As he spoke, Baggins stumbled and rushed downstairs.

As the vessel for forging, Baggins absorbed a wealth of forging knowledge and information, and experienced the entire legendary forging process from a first-person perspective.

After careful consideration, Baggins has a real chance of advancing to the fourth rank.

After all, he has no shortage of perfect Tier 4 elite materials.

As for fourth-tier leader-level materials, that's clearly beyond what Baggins can handle.

"Once Baggins advances to the fourth rank and settles down, he will be almost a master blacksmith. At that time, he can forge my third-rank dragon scale armor into a fourth-rank dragon scale armor, or even a fifth-rank dragon scale armor."

"Although my [Old Days - Flame State] transcendental form itself is not weak in defensive capabilities."

"But wearing heavy armor will make you safer."

"It's a pity I don't have any legendary defensive traits, otherwise, forging legendary armor would be perfect, especially with legendary witch boots."

"With this three-piece set, you can go anywhere!"

"Although I myself do not possess defensive forging skills, those hunters have connections."

Tucker looked out through the glass window that had been integrated with the wall.

The alien hunters, who were suffering from the magical firepower, were now scattering and fleeing.

In the past, these alien hunters had only encountered superhumans who were not particularly powerful.

But today.

Whether it was Earl Osling or Bishop Bevis Twain, the future bishop.

These are all formidable characters that even dragons would have to shed a layer of skin for.

At this point, they are relatively close to Tucker.

A level 38, third-tier hunter was dragged along by shadow tentacles.

A five- or six-meter-tall "Shadow Giant," shrouded in the power of shadow runes, caught up with them. With a single stomp, the earth trembled and the unfortunate hunter's head exploded on the spot.

If it is a fourth-order being with a transcendent state, it can withstand two kicks.

Unfortunately, this unlucky hunter was only a Tier 3 level 38, and couldn't withstand the attack of the three-star sorcerer Shadow Giant, which was over level 40 and close to level 50.

Not far away, Oslin also used earth magic to sink the hunters one by one into the ground, burying them on the spot.

"Those two guys really went all out!"

"They kill as soon as they catch someone, showing absolutely no mercy."

Tucker smiled as he looked at the two men who resembled cold-blooded killing machines.

Tucker then fell into deep thought.

"These hunters possess hunting abilities, even the ability to hunt legendary equipment. These hunters from otherworldly realms are indeed unique in their methods."

"Since these hunters are capable of hunting, it means they must also have other ways to seize other people's legendary equipment for their own use."

"Be careful of those who try to steal other people's legendary armor and legendary wizard boots for their own use."

"I remember that on the extraordinary ocean to the east, the pirate kings on those powerful sea monster ships, after making a great name for themselves, would forge their own legendary equipment, including some armor and witch boots."

"Hmm... legendary equipment and stuff don't matter, the main thing is I enjoy fighting pirates!"

"In the last ten years or so, the extraordinary ocean hunting grounds of the Age of Exploration have become even more magnificent with the rise of steam power."

Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'm getting more and more excited for my future extraordinary adventures."

In the future, Tucker wants to enter the Star Rail route, board the Spirit Realm Star Rail Steam Train, and enter other extraordinary worlds.

A certain amount of time spent exploring the extraordinary ocean is essential.

After all, the star trail route lies atop the barrier waterfall of the world at the edge of the ocean.

Many extraordinary individuals who come to the Duchy of Cyrios in the Western Continent arrive by taking the Spirit Realm Star Rail Steam Train.

Secondly, if Tucker wants to leave the Western Continent and desensitize himself to the ecology of the native extraordinary world, he will also need a long time to adapt at the end of the extraordinary ocean.

As Tucker pondered this, the battle outside had already come to an end.

Under the combined firepower of the two.

The hunters who came to attack lost many corpses and then fled in disarray.

As the defeated hunters fled and disappeared.

The area around Baggins's Fireway Furnace Tower returned to its usual silence.

All that remained were the traces of battle on the ground and the lingering stench of blood in the air.

Shortly afterward, Tucker opened the rampart portal.

Bevis and Oslin entered one after the other.

"How's your legendary staff?"

Bevis Twain, who had just entered, looked at Tucker first.

"The forging was very successful. It is very powerful and violent, enough to perfectly unleash my strength."

Tucker nodded in response, without elaborating further.

"That's good."

Bevis Twain laughed.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

"Taking advantage of this remaining momentum and the heavy blow dealt to those hunters."

"I'll forge my own staff too."

In the few hours that Tucker had been forging, he had already attracted what he needed to.

Those that weren't attracted will continue to be forged, but they probably won't come over anyway.

At this moment, they repelled a group of people who were secretly eyeing them.

No one else will be coming for a while.

This is the perfect opportunity for a continuous forging process.

As he spoke, Bevis Twain waved his hand, and as a scroll landed on the ground, the dwarf Kareru, who had previously collaborated with Bevis Twain, appeared.

After the dwarf Kareru appeared, he glanced at Tucker, then picked up his magical hut scroll and headed toward the portal, preparing to arrive at the furnace and begin the forging ceremony.

"Oh, right!"

Just as Bevis Twain was about to follow the dwarf Karelu, he suddenly remembered something.

"I took a few extra of your corpses last time, here they are back."

"You don't need a soul projection, but I've left you a living one."

With that, Bevis took out three ordinary sealing scrolls and tossed them to Tucker.

After taking it and examining it, Tucker nodded with satisfaction.

Thank you.

The three superhumans sealed inside are all fourth-tier superhumans who have condensed their superhuman state.

This is the "living material" that Tucker needs most right now.

Tucker's earlier comment about making way for the corpses was just a casual remark.

But Bevis Twain never took it to heart.

"To be honest, I'm a little envious of your four-star Soul Shadow magic."

Bevis Twain remarked.

"Although human sacrifice will affect the soul to some extent, and may even lead the soul to corruption, the Soul Curtain is really useful."

"If I can make some progress in the mysteries of soul runes, perhaps I will grit my teeth and learn to master this sorcery."

"pity!"

Bevis Twain couldn't help but shake his head.

"The profound meaning of soul runes is too difficult to comprehend."

"Without this talent, even if you enter a wonderful meditative state, it will be difficult to gain anything."

"Without sufficient support from the profound mysteries of soul runes, prolonged human sacrifice can easily lead to a loss of self-will in the face of such powerful witchcraft, turning one into a puppet of the ritual."

Soul, life, energy.

It is one of the three basic characteristics of a wizard.

The soul is the key to a wizard's cultivation.

There is a significant difference between a wizard who has mastered the mysteries of the soul and one who hasn't.

Many intermediate wizards aspire to comprehend the profound mysteries of soul runes.

However, the threshold for comprehending the profound meaning of the soul is extremely high, and very few people are able to comprehend it.

"really!"

Count Osling, standing to the side, nodded in deep agreement.

Seeing the two express their opinions, Tucker also agreed.

"Yes, yes, yes...you're all right!"

"alright!"

After slightly composing himself, Bevis Twain glanced at the two men.

"Be careful, I'm going up."

After saying that, Bevis Twain followed the magic door that the dwarf Kareiru had entered through and also entered the furnace area above.

The ruthless and taciturn Earl Oslin immediately walked outside, preparing to continue his defense there.

"No need to go out."

At this moment, Tucker spoke up to stop him.

"Um?"

Count Oslin looked at Tucker with a hint of doubt.

Tucker explained slowly.

"You were guarding the outside because your attacks couldn't penetrate the barrier directly."

"But for me, this barrier is completely unobstructed."

"I can unleash witchcraft directly from inside the tower to attack enemies."

"So... from now on, you can just stay here and focus on your cultivation."

"There's no need to go outside."

Tucker's explanation made Oslin raise an eyebrow slightly, and he said with a hint of envy.

"The ritualistic methods of your great barrier are truly enviable. I wish I could learn even a fraction of them."

Tucker smiled slightly.

Tucker had long been adept at using the tactics of building a great barrier.

This is one of Tucker's core defensive tactics.

Lost in thought, Tucker asked.

"Once Bevis finishes forging... are you going to forge some legendary equipment next?"

Count Osling shook his head.

"I haven't prepared enough resources yet."

"Furthermore, I'm not sure if my current legendary attributes are sufficient to ignite the flame of legend."

"So... it would be safer to wait a while."

"Um."

Tucker nodded.

"Just let me know whenever you need me."

After a brief chat.

Tucker sat down cross-legged in the corner by himself.

The Shadow Veil silently unleashed its shadowy power, enveloping Tucker like a shadowy tent.

Beneath the shadowy veil.

Takmor held the three scrolls Bevis had given him, as well as his own demon ring staff.

A moment of thought.

He took out the small wooden altar containing the soul's shadow, laid out the three scrolls in front of him, and began the ritual of human sacrifice.

As Tucker chanted his ritual incantation, shadows and firelight rapidly rose and intertwined.

After the previous wave of knights who captured the Dark Sun Saint.

Tucker had no time to mend his soul's shadow.

Today, Bevis Twain returned three more, which is just enough to make up for it.

Not long after, the sacrificial ceremony ended.

Three fourth-order soul shadows, piled up like silk garments, stood beside the altar.

With a wave of his hand, Tucker sent the three fourth-tier soul shadows swiftly into the Shadow Robe.

Tucker originally had two fourth-tier soul shadows and one third-tier soul shadow.

At this moment, they obtained three more fourth-tier soul shadows.

The proposed five fourth-order soul shadows are sufficient.

Then there would be no need for the third-order soul veil to exist.

Tucker originally intended for this third-tier soul shadow to feed other fourth-tier soul shadows.

After a moment's thought, Tucker abandoned the idea of ​​letting the fourth-order soul shadow devour him.

After removing the Shadow Ring Staff, Tucker put the Demon Ring Staff on his right wrist.

The legendary Demon Ring Staff looped around Tucker's wrist, quickly taking on an oval shape that perfectly conformed to his wrist.

At the same time, Tucker could also subtly sense the slight resonance between the legendary Demon Ring Staff and himself.

After all, this is a powerful staff that ignites the legendary spark with Tucker's own legendary traits, and it is Tucker's exclusive equipment.

Let's familiarize ourselves with the basic properties of this staff.

Tucker's right arm energy rapidly gathered on the staff.

"Demon Herding!"

As Tucker activates the unique ability of the Demon Herder's Staff.

The blood-red veins extended out silently.

At the end of the blood-red veins, the demonic soul of the fist-sized fire demon "Herta" quickly appeared.

The veins extending from the Demon Ring Staff are deeply anchored in every corner of the demon soul of the fire demon Hertara.

Tucker watched with some curiosity the herding methods of the legendary Demon Ring Staff.

"A perfect match for the grazing power deep within the soul."

"It allows me, as the [master], to have absolute control over the [demon servant] Hertara."

Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gently pinched his index finger and thumb together.

Tucker perfectly grasped the connection between the legendary Demon Ring Staff and the Flame Demon Hertalarin.

"The lineage of this legendary Demon Ring Staff herding is quite interesting."

"After careful study and in-depth understanding of the nature of this grazing network of power."

"I can also rely on steam, the world, and the primordial spirit to cultivate this lineage."

"At that time..."

A sharp glint flickered deep within Tucker's eyes.

"I can use the legendary Demon Ring Staff as an anchor point to herd multiple powerful life forms."

"I was worried that I wouldn't be able to bear the weight, but with the legendary staff, it's a different story."

"After some time, we can definitely try to subdue the Shadow Spider Lord."

"By then, there won't just be one demon lord."

"But a demon lord, a shadow spider lord."

"I never imagined that my talent could create such a wonderful synergy with the Demon Ring Staff."

After obtaining the legendary Demon Ring Staff, Tucker, who was surprised to discover such an unexpected treasure, smiled slightly.

Then, Tucker looked at Hertara, the fire demon he had raised.

Hertara is the soul of the Demon Ring Staff.

It is two sides of the same coin as the Demon Ring Staff.

Level 1 Legendary Demon Ring Staff, Hertara the Flame Demon of the Herdsmen.

It is also only the size of a level 1 demon, about the size of an ordinary baby.

At this moment, the level 1 Hertara scrutinized Tark, who was angry and resentful, but was a demon being herded.

His demonic soul was completely under the control of the other party.

Let alone resist.

If someone shows even the slightest disrespect, the other party can make them wish they were dead.

"I will cultivate in secret, and then shock everyone."

This was the goal that Hertara secretly set for himself at this time.

Just as Hertara was pondering this.

A soul shadow of level 30 or so was thrown in front of him.

"Eat it."

Tucker gave the order.

The Demon Ring Staff can be upgraded through killing.

It can also be leveled up by consuming demon souls.

No sooner had Tucker finished speaking than Hertara pounced on him and began to devour the food.

As demonic beings, they are naturally drawn to the taste of flesh and soul.

Although the soul in this shadowy figure is no longer fresh, and even has a strange, decadent smell, it is still a soul at least.

This left Geta, who had been hungry for a long time and desperately needed to upgrade, with no reason to be picky about food.

As Hertara devoured the level 30+ soul shadow.

The Legendary Demon Ring Staff has been upgraded to level 5.

Hertara's efficiency in devouring and converting is quite high.

Unfortunately, the legendary staff requires an enormous amount of energy.

"In a little while, Saint Rand will be waging its second ecological war."

"The last sneak attack dealt a huge blow to the faith ecosystem of the Dark Sun Church. That Dark Sun Son and the Dark Sun Church probably hate me to the core."

"In this second ecological war, they will inevitably try to attack the Lamor Spirit Realm Lighthouse area."

"Although the Church of the Three-Eyed God and the Tower will also be keeping a close eye on the Lamor area."

"But the fighting in the Lamor region will inevitably be extremely fierce."

"But for me personally..."

"I need to upgrade the Demon Ring Staff to Tier 3 as soon as possible."

"At that time, even if the Dark Sun Saint Son comes in person, he will be utterly crushed by me."

Tucker was pondering this.

Suddenly, I noticed something.

In Tucker's perception.

A fourth-tier hunter silently made his way back to the vicinity of the tower.

This fearless hunter actually wanted to launch a counterattack.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Tucker, who possessed the [World] characteristic, was combined with the constructed barrier.

It can perceive everything around it with perfect clarity.

"A level 43 Tier 4 hunter, his transcendent form looks pretty good. After Hertara consumes him, even if the Demon Ring Staff doesn't level up to the teens, it should at least reach level 10!"

Entering shadow form, a shadowy figure moved to a corner near the fourth-tier hunter.

Meanwhile, the fourth-tier hunter was completely unaware and was still searching for a place to enter the tower.

Tucker, in the shadows, raised his head and picked up the Fate Revolver.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by low, muffled gunshots.

The head of the unprepared fourth-tier hunter burst into a blood-red firework.

That shot sent shivers down his spine.

At the same time, Hertara let out a sharp, demonic howl and pounced forward.

Although it was only level 5 at this point, the Demon's Howl didn't have much effect on a level 4 hunter, but its main purpose was to create an aura.

Hertara pounced on the wound and began to devour the soul of the level 43 hunter.

And then, the sound of Tucker's fateful revolver kept ringing out.

This hunter, who was over level 40, was beaten so badly by Tucker and Hertara that he couldn't even move an inch before dying in frustration.

Hertara, devouring flesh and blood and the remaining fragments of soul, rapidly restored the outline of her demonic body.

The level of the Legendary Demon Ring Staff also increased rapidly.

Level 6.

Level 7.

Level 8.

……

After Hertara devoured the level 40+ hunter, leaving not even a bone, she continued her attack.

The legendary Demon Ring Staff has been upgraded to level 12.

This was somewhat unexpected by Tucker.

"It seems that herding demons to devour flesh and blood can more effectively accelerate the upgrade of the Legendary Demon Ring Staff."

"This is indeed much faster for leveling up than simply killing."

"So..."

Tucker took a deep breath, sensing the persistent, covetous gazes from the depths of the surrounding darkness, and a cruel, bloodthirsty smile crept onto his lips.

"The slaughter is about to begin!"
