This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 58 Shadows and Feast!

Inside the dimly lit passage.

The shadowy tentacles, twisting the oil-filled lantern, moved forward silently.

It was as if a shadow was chasing the light.

"Splash..."

The rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the shore rang in Tucker's ears.

Besides the sound of the waves, there were many other strange and bizarre subtle sounds mixed in with the sound of the waves.

With the commencement of the Dark Sun Ritual, the "Ash Tide" has gradually surged into the city-state of Lamor Tower.

Perhaps ordinary superhumans cannot hear or see it.

But in Tucker's hands, the surging of the ashes was revealed in every detail.

As they moved forward, Tucker, hidden in the shadows, examined the extraordinary crystals he had obtained from the Black Rat leader and several elite Black Rat he had just killed.

As a superhuman being of relatively small size.

The extraordinary crystals of the Black Rat Elite are also slightly smaller, about the size of a quail egg.

Materials from rodent organisms are generally not used as advancement materials for human superhumans.

Metropolitan City is used as equipment material, or some special auxiliary materials, etc.

Although it is slightly smaller in size, as an elite-grade material, it can still fetch a good price.

This material is worth at least 10 magic gold.

Elite rodents are not difficult to kill.

The main problem is that they are hiding very well, making them extremely difficult to find.

Tucker glanced at the first-tier elite materials and then looked at the most important harvest of the trip: the crystal material of the Black Rat Leader.

The amber crystal, roughly the size of an egg, reveals a heavy and exquisitely refined "shadow property."

Yes!

The extraordinary characteristic that this Black Rat leader accumulated after his death is called [Shadow].

Moreover, it is a very refined "leader-level" shadow.

"Although it's only a level 15 Shadow, it's a rare boss-level material."

"If we fuse it into the Rune Shadow Ring Staff, the power of the Rune Shadow Ring Staff will definitely be elevated to a higher level."

Tucker pondered to himself.

Currently, the Shadow Essence trait of Tucker's Shadow Ring Staff is roughly equivalent to a level 22 or 23 Shadow Sequence.

However, the "Shadow Rune" enhanced it.

However, the Shadow Ring Staff itself does not possess sufficiently high Shadow power.

It incorporates the refinement of this level 15 "leader-level" shadow power.

It's at least possible to raise its Shadow level to 27, or even 28.

At that time, all three functions of the Rune Ring Staff will be greatly improved.

Furthermore, by combining it with other shadow materials, it might even be possible to forge a Tier 3 Shadow Ring Staff.

The "Shadow" extraordinary characteristic is already quite rare.

I was really lucky to get such a large, pure portion this time.

After a moment of thought, Tucker gradually composed himself and looked ahead.

The aura of death and the disturbance of the dead are close at hand.

After a moment's thought, Tucker waved his hand and dispelled the shadow power.

He reverted to his true identity, an ordinary source energy wizard.

My feet touched the ground, and I felt a little unsteady.

Even the soles of my feet felt a slight tingling sensation.

"A simple shadow state doesn't quite fit with human life forms."

"After floating for a while, my legs feel a bit uncomfortable."

"To develop my own Shadow Form, it would be best to combine physical strength with the use of Shadow Form."

"It can effectively utilize the characteristics of the shadow form, and also allow my physical body to be used, so that I don't have to suffer from foot pain when I land like I do now."

Lost in thought, Tucker, carrying a kerosene lamp, arrived at the cave entrance.

At the end of the cave, a bright and open space suddenly appeared before us.

The rock face is covered with orange wall lamps.

Tucker glanced at them and, sure enough, they were all flame wicks formed by witchcraft.

A considerable number of wall lamps make this place brightly lit.

Inside the rock valley passage below the rock shelf.

It exudes an exotic, otherworldly aura that immediately hits you.

More accurately, it is a dimensional rift with the aura of otherworldly undead.

As the ash tide surged in, the "Undead Rift" absorbed its energy like a downpour, expanding continuously.

Tucker had no idea how big the undead rift had been before.

But now, the height of this undead rift is already twenty or thirty meters.

The width of the point where the illusory projection of the undead fissure intersects with the ground.

Tucker figured that it shouldn't be a problem for a small car to pass through.

Tucker and the others were located ten meters above the ground, on a rock-sheltered walkway.

If the Undead Rift occupies the "right time" of the Ash Tide.

Tucker and his team, on the other hand, had the advantage of terrain.

As for "human factors".

Tucker felt that people were not on good terms.

At this moment, there were about twenty or thirty spellcasters who were extraordinary beings on the rock-framed corridors on both sides of the rock wall.

Most are around level 10 or 15, with fewer at level 20 or higher.

Necromancers make up about half of the population.

There were quite a few spellcasters, but judging from their positions, they were basically fighting independently.

The Dark Tide of Ashes will cause a large number of undead to descend into the crypt passages.

The group's goal was to stop the alien undead army from attacking the Undead Tower.

Until Lord Aubrey arrived.

After all, in the past, the alien undead army of the Ash Tide was ultimately stopped by Lord Aubrey's undead army.

At this moment, Amanti and Taniru were at a spot on a protruding rock shelf not far away, which looked quite nice.

"How's the situation over there?" Amanti asked in a low voice as she saw Tucker approaching.

"The black rat infestation has been largely resolved," Tucker said calmly.

These words caused both of them to subtly change their expressions; that horde of black rats was not easy to deal with.

Even a spellcaster of level 30 or higher might not be able to handle it.

Tucker, who was only level 10-12, managed to take care of it all by himself.

Before the two could ask any more questions, Tucker looked around and then at Amanti.

"Have you defended this place before against the advance of the undead army?"

"Hmm!" Amanti nodded.

"How long can these people around hold out?" Tucker asked.

"It will only take a day or two at most. If you grit your teeth and persevere, three days is the limit."

"So, this nearly month-long Ash Tide... will ultimately rely on Mentor Aubrey's undead army?"

"Or what?" Amanti retorted.

Tucker took a deep breath and turned to look at the "Undead Rift," which displayed deep dimensional cracks.

"Do you think... there's a possibility that we can defend it ourselves?"

"What?"

Both of them looked over in disbelief.

"Are you kidding me?"

It was Tanil who spoke.

As a member of the tower, he was naturally aware of the power of the undead rift.

"At first, it was just because the energy limit of the rift was low, with only level seven or eight, or even ten undead creatures, and they were mostly skeletons."

"Later on, the undead creatures not only become higher level, but also more diverse."

"Wraiths with the ability to fly and move, and agile cannibals, will cause us to lose our geographical advantage."

"The fast-moving and extremely powerful undead knights, along with the mighty undead bone dragons, can easily destroy the necromancers' undead defenses."

"Moreover, those 'Dementors' who are skilled in assassination can directly threaten the necromancer himself."

"How will we protect ourselves then? With our heads?"

Tanil was already very unhappy about being "conscripted" by Tucker.

Having finally found an opportunity, he seized it and proceeded to ridicule Tucker mercilessly.

"Yes, you're absolutely right!" Tucker nodded.

"Therefore... we need to be even more prepared, and hold out for as long as we can."

"We can't help with the situation outside; all we can do is stay here and guard the undead rift, waiting for the outcome from the outside world."

"at the same time……"

Tucker examined the undead rift.

"This is also a rare—grand feast!"
