This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 55 The Dark Tide of Ashes Arrives!

"In the end, was it still impossible to stop the ritual of the Dark Sun?"

Gazing at the Dark Sun Ritual that had already opened up the dimensional void.

Tucker took a deep breath.

Then, Tucker gazed into the depths of the Ashlands beyond the city-state of Lamor Tower.

Those city-states, towns, and villages that had long been swallowed up by the dark sun.

At this moment, beams of light, large or small, from the Dark Sun Ritual also poured into the void.

Although those traces and patterns were barely visible, they were still caught by Tak, whose power had long been distributed around the city-state of Lamor.

At this moment, it all erupted.

As a large amount of Dark Sun power was activated by the sacrificial ritual.

The ashes moon in the sky began to gradually dim.

The original outline of the Ash Moon, the power of the Dark Sun, is being conceived within it.

Tucker was also aware that the Church of the Dark Sun had been plotting this for a long time.

The altar at the location of the city-state of Lamor served primarily as a means of initiating and guiding rituals.

Even if you destroy the entire altar, the other party can still continue to build altars and complete the ritual activation.

Tucker's original intention was to prevent the ritual from starting at the appropriate time.

If you make them miss the appropriate time for the ceremony, you can cause considerable damage and impact.

It now appears that Tucker did not achieve that.

"No……"

Tucker looked at the sacrificial dark sun power of the steam tower.

"I destroyed two of the three altars, though they were only two small ones, but they were an important part of stabilizing the main sacrificial rituals."

"The power of that sacrifice is unstable."

"Furthermore... I have already informed Lord Aubrey and the others about the possible ritual altar within the tower, and tonight is the time to activate it."

"They couldn't possibly be unprepared."

"An unstable ritual may not necessarily be uninterrupted."

"not to mention……"

Tucker glanced at the indifferent young man.

Their gaze fell on the "parchment rune scroll" behind the aloof young man.

The roll looks light and airy, but it feels surprisingly heavy to carry.

"I also successfully eliminated a steam-powered genius who was about to emerge from the Church of the Dark Sun."

The indifferent young wizard stared at the already unfolding ritual for a moment.

Then he turned to look at Tucker.

His eyes were filled with doubt.

The shadow wizard seemed to have sensed it as soon as the ritual began.

And he.

It wasn't until the ceremony was fully underway that I realized it.

In terms of sensory perception, the two are not on the same level.

Keep in mind that he has already reached the peak of the second tier and can advance to the third tier at any time.

After a moment's hesitation, the aloof young man finally spoke: "The sacrificial ritual has begun."

"What will inevitably follow is a dark tide of ashes."

"While I was underground, I already noticed that the underground kobold army was gathering its strength."

"There are still members of the Church of the Dark Sun there."

"Furthermore, many creatures in the entire underground of Lamor and around the city have been affected by the Dark Sun."

"You...you'd better watch yourself!"

After speaking, the indifferent young man disappeared into the darkness.

"Ash Tide!"

Tucker muttered to himself.

"So it really is coming after all?"

Numerous pieces of information about the Ash Tide flashed through my mind.

Without delay, Tucker immediately rushed towards the Undead Tower.

The rites of the Church of the Dark Sun were initiated.

Accompanied by the surge of ashes.

The main towers of Lamor Tower will inevitably have to withstand attacks from the Church of the Dark Sun.

Dark flying creatures from the sky will sweep across the entire territory of the city-state of Lamor Tower.

The lighthouse defenses ahead will be vulnerable to attacks from "Dark Sun Corruption".

In addition, the black rats, kobold armies, and other creatures on the ground will also pour into Lamor from the caves and burrows on the ground.

These creatures are normally just food and "extraordinary resources" for the city-state of Lamor Tower.

During the Dark Tide of Ashes, they will all become exceptionally irritable, bloodthirsty, and murderous.

And guided by the Dark Sun Ritual.

They would be even more desperate to toll the death knell for Lamoor.

Not to mention, there are also many extraordinary individuals who are members of the Church of the Dark Sun, who will take the opportunity to flood into the city-state of Lamor Tower.

When the ritual of the evil god unfolded atop the steam tower of Lamor.

That also means that a feast of slaughter is about to begin!

Lamor was not immune to harassment and attacks from the Church of the Dark Sun.

It's not that they haven't experienced the surge of ashes and dark tides.

but!

Both [Ash Tide] and [Dark Sun Ritual] arrive simultaneously.

This is the first time for the city-state of Lamor Tower.

…………

A lighthouse outpost on the city wall.

The old knight "Kairun" wielded his greatsword and ruthlessly severed the head of a corrupted creature that had climbed up the city wall.

Then, like a ball, it kicked the head of the "corrupted creature" away.

Meanwhile, even more corrupted creatures crawled up the city walls from the darkness, outnumbering the insects.

Many of the lighthouse outposts on the city wall were now engaged in battle.

The sounds of fighting were incessant.

"Come on! You bunch of sons of bitches!"

The old knight Kelun roared loudly.

Relying on the "deterrence" accumulated from years of killing corrupted creatures, and the light emanating from the beacon behind them, those corrupted creatures dared not continue their reckless attack.

The old knight "Kairun" tightly bound the hilt of his greatsword to his hand with strips of coarse cloth.

He's getting on in years, so this helps prevent the greatsword from falling off.

Another large, monstrous evil creature pounced on them.

The old knight "Kairun" kicked him to the ground and then smashed his head with a sword.

"Eugene, you idiot, stop hiding in the back and playing your tricks. Grab your sword and come finish me off!" The old knight Kelun shouted at the wizard "Eugene" in the corner.

"I am a spellcaster."

Young Eugene responded, trembling.

"Then show your strength as a spellcaster. Don't be like a girl, scared into not being able to cast spells."

Another ranger in the team shot down another Dark Sun Corruption and joked.

The night watch team stationed at the lighthouse.

They were diligently guarding the lighthouse on the city wall, chatting and laughing, but they all knew the truth.

Faced with that overwhelming tide of depravity, there is no timely support.

They will be swallowed by death when the lighthouse's light fades.

This applies not only to the city walls but also to other defensive lines.

The underground defenses are currently facing a massive attack from a large number of kobolds, goblins, black rats, and other creatures.

The steam ecosystem of the entire city-state of Lamor Tower.

Everything depends on the steam provided by that steam tower.

Darkness, like a tidal wave of ashes, surged forth, threatening to engulf everything here.

…………

In shadow form, Tucker floats and flies at great speed.

"quack……"

Just then, an undead raven glided swiftly toward Tucker.

"Tucker."

The voice of the necromancer Aubrey rang out.

"I need to cooperate with Count Lamour to resolve the altar ritual."

"Furthermore, we need to be wary of their subsequent actions."

"We can't get back to the Tower of the Dead anytime soon."

"Go underground and help Amanti guard the undead rift passage, and guard it for as long as possible."

"The Undead Rift area, where powerful creatures may appear."

Be careful.

"Understood!" Tucker nodded solemnly.

The undead raven departed once more.

Tucker raised his head slightly.

The ashes moon in the sky grew ever dimmer.

During his brief observation, a strange and eerie pattern gradually appeared in Tucker's field of vision.

"Even the most talented person is vulnerable to pollution!"

Tucker looked away.

"Moreover, my precision is geared towards combat and control, not a talent for combating pollution."

"If it's an SSS-level purification or similar talent."

"That source of contamination could probably be cooked to a medium-rare doneness on the spot!"

As we move forward.

Tucker could now hear the sound of the waves crashing.

The dark tide of ashes has already swept in.

"The Ash Tide is also a type of energy tide, but for humans, it contains too much negative power."

"But for the system, negative forces? They don't exist!"

"The only metric the system cares about is 'source energy concentration'."

"I wonder if the concentration of source energy will be enough for me to develop quickly when the ash tide is at its most turbulent."

Tucker pondered to himself as he walked.
