This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 39 The Gray Night is About to Descend!

Tucker's six hundred or so magic gold.

All of it was spent on the staff and that other life-saving treasure.

However, the originally planned 120 magic gold second-tier Shadow Ring Staff...

It has been transformed into the powerful Rune Shadow Ring Staff.

Tucker had just obtained that life-saving treasure as well.

The treasure was more powerful than Tucker had imagined.

The undead raven that flew over carrying the treasure.

After the treasure was laid down, the feathers, bones, and its soul fire quickly withered and decayed, and then vanished.

Just for the purpose of transporting and carrying, that level 9 raven paid with its entire life.

This shows how powerful this treasure is.

Perhaps, Lord Aubrey wanted to use this method to tell Tucker about the danger of this treasure.

of course!

Tucker was also aware of the treasure's properties, which was one of the reasons why Lord Aubrey did not attempt to connect with it using those properties.

Underground, inside the passageway of skeletons.

Tucker sat cross-legged on the skeleton, gradually calming his mind and replenishing his energy.

After two or three hours of witchcraft experiments.

Tucker has fully mastered the characteristics and intricate usage of the Rune Shadow Ring Staff.

"At the spellcasting level, the Shadow Ring Staff allows for more discreet manipulation of source energy."

"Previously, by using the concealment of the Crimson Flame Bracelet to manipulate source energy, I could barely keep up with the natural manipulation of the Shadow Ring Staff."

"Once combined with the concealment of my energy source and the stealth inherent in the Shadow Ring Staff."

"A sneak attack...cough cough...when I strike first, I have an absolute advantage!"

"Secondly, with the enhancement of the shadow properties, the source energy is stimulated to a greater extent."

"The effects and intensity of witchcraft have also been significantly improved."

"And then... there are the inherent characteristics of this Rune Shadow Ring Staff itself."

Tucker's previous Crimson Ring Staff could naturally gather flames and absorb heat, helping Tucker resist the cold during the Night of Ashes.

As a basic staff, the Crimson Staff is well-suited for the Ashlands.

The Shadow Ring Staff, on the other hand, is much more powerful.

The Shadow Ring Staff has three very useful functions.

These are [Shadow State], [Shadow Robe], and [Shadow Walk].

[Shadow State]

The wielder of the Shadow Ring Staff can enter a certain shadow state, possessing the ability to move quickly and be immune to some damage, while also taking more light-type damage.

[Shadow Robe]

The combination of shadow power and wizard's robes can form an effective defensive force.

[Shadow Walk]

In Shadow Form, one can use the ability to move through shadows.

The inherent nature of shadow is what makes Tucker want to master the Shadow Ring Staff.

After Tucker's attempts...

These three abilities, in Tucker's hands, give him flexibility comparable to the [Vampire] sequence.

Tucker's strength has increased dramatically after this baptism and transformation.

Then they acquired this top-tier equipment.

It's like adding wings to a tiger.

At this moment, Tucker had the Shadow Ring Staff on his right wrist and the Crimson Flame Bracelet (Crimson Flame Staff) on his left wrist.

You can't wear two magic rings on one wrist.

In case the source energy responds, the two ring staffs conflict.

At best, you'll unlock the "One-Armed Wizard" achievement on the spot.

In severe cases, they will explode on the spot and ascend to heaven!

If you carry one in each hand and they don't conflict, then there's no problem.

Tucker sat quietly, waiting.

Soon, footsteps echoed from deep within the cavern of bones.

"Amanti," dressed in a white and blue checkered court dress, nimbly and quickly approached, stepping on the skeletons.

As a superhuman's level increases, their soul, perception, physique, agility, balance, and so on will continuously improve.

My gaze swept over Amandy's white and blue checkered court dress.

"We're going to kill people, not to attend a ball."

Tucker frowned slightly, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.

Anyway, Tucker is definitely going to kill a lot of people during this Gray Night period.

In that case, the long court dress that blooms amidst the bloodshed of slaughter might... be able to intimidate some people.

Form is not important; what matters is the essence!

"Are you ready?" Tucker's voice was deep and hoarse.

It sounds completely different from before.

Amanti was taken aback.

"Ah! Does my voice have to change too?"

Tucker paused for a second on that slightly ornate court dress.

"No need, just keep quiet!"

"Walk!"

Without a sound, Tucker activated the Shadow Ring Staff.

hum...

Darkness and shadows gathered.

It seeped into Tucker's wizard robes and gathered on Tucker's body.

When Tucker put on the wizard's hood.

My whole body felt slightly suspended.

Like a cold-blooded grim reaper who harvests lives.

The Shadow State is a natural suspended state, although it will continuously consume a slight amount of source energy.

However, this suspended state allows Tucker to effectively traverse various muddy surfaces, water surfaces, and some complex terrains.

Tucker took out a glass lantern and dropped an oil bomb into it.

The source energy has undergone a transformation, and Tucker has also raised the level of the Fire Oil spell to 19.

Modern petrol bombs have extremely high density, and if the combustion efficiency is well controlled, they can burn for a very long time.

The only downside is that it consumes a lot of fuel.

After all, with the necromancer behind, Tucker couldn't exactly lead the way with holy light.

Amanti, who was following behind Tucker, shrouded herself in the gray mist of the dead, using the mist's spreading properties to follow him silently.

At the same time, she also took Tucker's actions to heart.

"Use witchcraft techniques in daily life whenever possible."

The two walked one in front of the other.

Deep inside the passage, they quickly followed the lantern.

…………

Underground street, Obsidian Materials Shop.

A considerable number of lanterns illuminated the inside and outside of the house.

Old Kom, leaning back in his long chair, glanced at Tucker and then at the necromancer behind him.

Danger!

This is the feeling that the necromancer gave to old Kom.

However, I thought about what Tucker might have done before.

Old Kom thought that Tucker's choice to hire a second-tier necromancer as a bodyguard was clearly a wise one.

"This is your wizard's robe."

Old Kom handed over the wizard's robe, which had been altered from a dark gray alchemical robe.

"You haven't shown up for so long, I thought you'd never come back!"

Tucker understood the underlying meaning in those words.

"Just tell me what news you have!"

"She's okay!"

He glanced at the second-tier necromancer shrouded in the gray mist of the dead.

Old Kom chuckled softly twice before speaking, "A few days ago, someone targeted the Hunter's Guild headquarters, which is also the core area that helps the Church of the Dark Sun hunt wizards."

"That mysterious person was very strong; he silently killed the Hunter's Guild's Blood Alchemist."

"When the body was found, it had been gnawed away by black rats, leaving only the sheep skeleton."

"Also, the leader of the hunter's gang died beside the altar."

"Even... the rituals of the Church of the Dark Sun were disrupted."

"This enraged the members of that evil god organization."

At this point, old Kom grinned, his gold teeth gleaming.

"This incident has made the members of that evil god organization much more obedient."

"However, the evil god organization clearly has no intention of stopping."

"While they were conducting their investigation quietly, they also purchased a considerable amount of ritual materials during this grey period."

"I suspect they're about to perform some kind of mysterious ritual."

Old Kom's explanation was very informative.

Based on the information Tucker had gathered, a general outline gradually emerged in his mind.

The feeling was as if a colossal beast, about to be born or already conceived, was lurking in the darkness around the city-state of Lamor Tower.

Tucker had previously thought the timeline could be pushed back.

But now it seems...

Time may not be on our side.

"We need to speed things up!"

The city-state of Lamor Tower is where the Taker has steadily developed.

Tucker will not allow anyone to sabotage it.

Moreover, Tucker's wizarding ecosystem is not stable enough yet.

If the ecosystem of the city-state of Lamor Tower, on which they depend for survival, is destroyed, the Tak will also be severely damaged.

"My esteemed guest from afar, would you like to buy or sell something?"

As Tucker was lost in thought, he suddenly heard old Kom greet Amanti politely and subtly.

"broken!"

Tucker was about to stop him.

"Ah! No need, thank you!"

A clear, elegant voice rang out.

Old Kom laughed when he heard the sound.

A high-class, young woman, well-dressed, and polite in tone.

Amanti's opening remarks immediately revealed that she most likely came from the tower.

"I think you must be an apprentice of the great necromancer, Lord Aubrey!" Old Kom continued, offering a very flattering compliment.

"Yes, Mentor Aubrey is a learned and respectable person." Amanti didn't see anything wrong with this praise, even though it revealed her true identity.

Just as old Kom was about to try to extract more information through flattery,

But then he saw Tucker's cold gaze fall upon him.

"Hehe..." Old Kom chuckled dryly twice.

"If every young person were as kind as this beautiful girl..."

Old Kom's reflections were interrupted by Tucker.

"They'll be eaten alive by you old jackals, leaving not even bones behind."

At this moment, Amanti realized that she seemed to have let something slip. While feeling annoyed, Tucker's earlier advice also came to mind—speak less!

Tucker got up and, right in front of old Kom, unceremoniously took two lanterns.

Two people, naturally, have two lanterns.

"Where are we going?" Amanti asked as they stepped outside.

The outline in my mind was gradually becoming clearer.

Tucker pulled out the Ash Clock and looked at it.

Sunset is very close.

"The Bunker District!"

Tucker put the Ash Clock away, examined the darkness ahead, and spoke softly.
