This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 40: If you can ambush someone, never force your way in!

The ashes Gothic architecture resembles a grotesque dancer twisting its body.

In the last ray of crimson light, after offering her final dance, she froze in time as the crimson light fell.

Night falls.

The ash moon in the sky, already impatient, was spreading its magically cold light across the earth.

The chill that seeped into the very bones relentlessly dispelled the last trace of warmth left by the day of ashes.

Gray day and gray night, almost instantly.

As the cold descended, the entire city-state of Lamor Tower fell into a deathly silence.

Beneath the twisted trees, Tucker blended into the shadows.

The moonlight of the Ashen Moon fell in dappled patterns.

Tucker gradually perfected the integration of the Shadow Ring Staff's special ability, "Shadow Veil," with the second-tier wizard robes he had just acquired.

The second-tier robe is indeed very effective.

Its defense, stealth, and natural absorption of source energy are all outstanding.

"Did you find anything?" Tucker asked slowly, sensing that the time was about right.

Two undead dragonflies, almost imperceptible to death, landed in the bushes.

Amanti hid to the side.

"The entire house is equipped with energy barriers, and their defensive capabilities are quite strong."

"It also comes with a metal alarm device."

"We could hardly sneak in."

"At the same time, there are signs of fire in the fireplace, the food on the table is rather messy, there is someone but I can't find him, perhaps there is an illusion at the window."

The small, detached bungalow across the road was the final destination of "Tannil," which Amanti had been tracking.

Tucker wanted to leverage precise visual insights.

But there was a barrier there, preventing Tucker from seeing much.

Getting closer allows you to see it more clearly.

But Tucker was confident that he could get close enough to make contact.

There will definitely be powerful spells hitting my face.

Followers of evil gods will not talk to you about martial virtues.

By using the undead dragonfly to get close, a lot of information was collected silently.

After this careful observation...

Even Amanti noticed that something was wrong.

After all, even a normal wizard wouldn't make such a large-scale arrangement.

Moreover, Natanil is just a "night priest".

Unless... there's some unspeakable secret inside.

"The big fish is inside; it's just a matter of how effectively we catch it."

Tucker said in a low voice.

"Drive a few wandering souls down to the underground and see if there are any underground passages."

With such a good helper as Amanti, there's no harm in not using him.

Moreover, as a student of the Tower, Amanti has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

Moreover, Tucker wasn't used for nothing.

These details of pre-war preparations are all based on Amanti's experience growing up.

A moment later, the ghost returned.

Amanti responded, "There is no underground passage."

"Very good. Use your [Undead Territory] to cover the entire house. This will prevent the people inside from escaping and also cover up the sounds of battle."

"How did you know I have a necromantic realm?" Amanti asked in astonishment.

The realm of the dead is her most prized necromancer ability.

It was precisely because of this ability that she was able to be noticed by her mentor, Aubrey.

Moreover, Aubrey's mentor had told her that.

This ability is very important, so never tell others about it lightly.

But Tucker told the story directly.

"Just tell me if you have it or not!" Tucker said softly.

"Yes!" Amanti nodded cautiously.

"Then set it up, but be as careful as possible so that the people inside don't notice."

Tucker said in a low voice as he looked at the dark cloud drifting overhead.

Amanti also noticed the change in brightness and quickly coordinated with the dark clouds to begin setting up the undead territory.

Accompanied by the gloom of clouds.

The realm of the dead slowly closed in, eventually enveloping the entire house.

It's like a giant net, trapping the prey inside.

At this moment, Tucker emerged from the shadow of the tree.

"Be aware of your surroundings. If you encounter danger, escape on your own and don't worry about me."

After saying that, Tucker drifted toward the house like a shadowy ghost.

"You went to a much more dangerous place, yet you're telling me to be careful?"

Amanti nodded, then realized that there might be members of the Church of the Dark Sun waiting outside.

She learned so much from following Tucker along the way.

Even when she comes out alone, shrouded in the gray mist of the dead, there are always people watching her.

But, following Tucker.

That cold demeanor and subtle yet powerful aura made the other extraordinary individuals not dare to give him a second glance.

no doubt.

Even in the underground city, Tucker's performance was that of an absolutely ruthless character.

Amanti learned from Tucker as quickly as a sponge.

Become a "ruthless character" as quickly as possible.

Only in this way can one survive longer and become stronger in the dangerous world of the extraordinary.

The realm of the dead is like a large net that prevents the fish from escaping.

It was also a cover for Tucker to get closer.

After quickly closing in, with Amanti's help, Tucker successfully crossed the undead territory.

Touching the wall, Tucker, like a gecko, climbed up the wall towards the top of the building.

If a sneak attack is possible, Tucker will never force his way in.

[Shadow Mode] grants Tucker an exceptional ability to traverse terrain.

Touch and perception!

As Tucker climbed, he quickly touched the spirit wall.

This is just a very thick wall; it's moisture-proof and heat-insulating!

Information emerges.

As Tucker went deeper.

"Hiss... hiss..."

"Hiss... hiss..."

A low, soft murmur arose.

The world before Tucker's eyes began to twist and spin rapidly.

Then, the low murmurs grew louder and louder in Tucker's ears, as if trying to drag Tucker into them.

"Boom——"

The trajectory at the level of the vascular network was directly severed.

Tucker broke free from the further contamination of the mysterious power.

Even so, Tucker's temples continued to throb, as if pricked by needles.

Touch-based perception, it's easy to use.

But sometimes, it can cause trouble.

Fortunately, with SSS-level precision as a backup, Tucker has the right to try and fail.

With a flick of his right hand, he cast a spell, and the Shadow Ring Staff on his right arm responded accordingly.

A precise delivery.

A vine, as thick as an arm and covered in blood-red thorns, appeared above the first-floor window on the lower right.

With a "whoosh!" sound.

The blood sacrifice vines lashed heavily at the energy barrier that was already coupled with the window glass.

After releasing a bloodthorn vine, Tucker quickly climbed and walked along the walls and eaves, reaching the other side of the wall.

Release another bloodthorn vine.

The "Shadow Form" is enhanced by the Rune Shadow Ring Staff.

Tucker maximizes his flexibility, relying on his unpredictable and elusive nature.

One after another.

Before long, a dozen or so vines, like drumming, began to lash wildly at every pane of glass around the house.

It looked as if a giant vine monster had already surrounded the entire house.

But soon, countermeasures from inside the house also emerged.

"withered!"

Tucker did not sense any energy or spell fluctuations.

But Tucker was able to follow the trajectory of the spell's energy, and withering was descending; the bloodthorn vines cast directly in the direction of the gate were rapidly withering.

Moreover, it withers extremely quickly.

In just a few breaths, the bloodthorn vine died.

Following the second, the third...

The rapid death of the Bloodthorn Vines is unimportant.

Because they have already accomplished their mission, which was to pinpoint the enemy's location.

"The area near the main gate."

"Since you're in front, I'll go in from behind."

After some thought, Tucker arrived at the attic window at the top of the back of the building.

"The Spear of Light!"

Tucker suddenly clenched his fist.

"Buzz!"

The power of light burst forth in Tucker's palm.

The instant it bloomed, Tucker slammed it against the energy barrier.

The ultimate control over the two-star sorcery "Spear of Light" became apparent at this moment.

Tucker blasted a ring-shaped spear of light into the energy barrier.

As the Spear of Light expanded, Tucker opened a large hole in the energy barrier.

Tucker slipped in silently, like a ghost.

"Without the protection of the energy barrier, I'd like to see how you struggle."

Tucker entered the house, twisted his neck slightly, and revealed a bloody and ferocious smile.
