Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

Chapter 3 Steady Progress



Following the command center's orders, the Floating City opened again, and the War Airships, like bloodthirsty sharks, flew out from the Floating City.

Because this was a smaller world, the number of White Wizards was much more than last time, with hundreds of War Airships flying out from each Floating City.

The White Wizards formed a complex military array with the War Airships at its core. Through the array's effects, a Magic Shield appeared below the White Wizard Army.

Although the Fire Lizards' use of strategic weapons inflicted a certain degree of damage upon the Floating City, it helped the White Wizard Army to understand the power of the Dragon Breath Bombs.

This Magic Shield had been prepared for this purpose.

If they were unprepared, those terrible fireballs, unless one was a Three Rings Wizard, would leave nothing but ash and bones if they landed on a Wizard.

"Straight ahead, Fireball Technique, three consecutive shots, cast!" commanded a White Wizard through the mental network.

"Fire!"

The next moment, hundreds of thousands of fireballs descended like a cataclysmic reign of fire upon the heads of the Fire Lizards.

Boom!

Though the Fire Lizards had a high resistance to the Fire Element, they couldn't withstand the Red Sun World's environmental boost to Fire Element Spell of twenty percent, which meant that a fireball with an Energy Level of one hundred could even gain an additional twenty Energy Levels.

This environmental advantage was enough to offset the Fire Lizards' resistance to the Fire Element.

Watching the fireballs fall from the sky, Harash's expression remained unchanged, and he turned to look at Mai Han:

"Mai Han, send your Corrosive Dragon Army into the sky. Balashar, get your Dragon Head Knights ready to move out."

After speaking, Harash refocused his attention on the battlefield.

The recent Magic Concentrated Fire was indeed powerful, but for Harash, who was prepared mentally, the scene was fitting for the information he had received from the Fire Lizard King.

He called over an Order Officer:

"Pass the order down, Dragon Spellcaster Group get ready. Dragon Breath Cannons, fire the Dragon Breath Bombs at will."

As the orders were given, tens of thousands of Dragon Breath Cannons began to aim at the sky, where the White Wizard Army was positioned. Huge Dragon Breath Bombs collided with the White Wizard Army's shield, immediately stirring up ripples.

But the White Wizard Army had already understood the strength of the Dragon Breath Bombs from the damage assessment of the Floating City over the past few days. The Magic Shield, though appearing battered and on the verge of shattering, did not let any Dragon Breath Bomb breach its barrier.

After the Dragon Breath Bombs, it was the turn of the Mias Empire's Corrosive Dragon Army.

From within the Fire Lizard Army flew forth terrifying black Dragon Beasts. These creatures, known as Corrosive Dragons, appeared like Giant Dragons but were much smaller in size. Despite this, their power could tear apart any creature that underestimated them.

Aside from their strength, the Corrosive Dragons also possessed venom glands, and a stench-filled massive maw that even a Komodo dragon would bow down to. The bacteria that lived in their mouths, combined with the venom glands, were enough to severely affect any creature beneath the Third Level.

Manning their backs, groups of Dragon Warriors with Dragon Horns and iron helms held the reins, driving these wild beasts toward the White Wizard Army.

As the Corrosive Dragons ascended, the White Wizard Army naturally would not just stand by idly.

Magic Concentrated Fire appeared once again, as tens of thousands of thunderbolts cut across the sky, instantly clearing the front lines of the Corrosive Dragon Army.

But before the Wizards could launch a second wave of attacks, the Corrosive Dragon Army had already breached the range to commence their attack.

"Bastards, taste the breath of the Corrosive Dragons!" roared one, as black-green breath landed on the Magic Shield in front of the White Wizard Army.

This black-green breath carried deadly toxicity and corrosiveness. As it landed on the Magic Shield, it caused the frontline Shield Wizards to expend an immense increase in Magic Power.

"Straight ahead, Lightning Chain, cast three times."

The intelligent and composed White Wizards issued commands. Against such small batches of clustered enemies, the Lightning Chain, a spell whose quantity could lead to a qualitative change, was most appropriate.

As the order was given, over a hundred thousand Wizards waved their Magic Wands, and in an instant, the purple brilliance of thunderbolts almost eclipsed the Heavenly Vault's three suns.

Meanwhile, the command center also issued orders for the Black Wizards to move out.

The Dragon Breath Cannons posed a significant threat to both the White Wizard Army and the War Airships.

Hundreds of airships simultaneously opened their dropship hatches, with tens of thousands of fireballs plummeting down from the sky.

Seeing the red spheres falling from the airships, Harash frowned, his dragon eyes clearly discerning that those fireballs were actually Wizards.

He turned to an awaiting Order Officer: "Deploy the Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors, three Imperial Guards coupled with one Dragon Spellcaster forming one battle array, three battle arrays to protect one Dragon Breath.

Moreover, communicate with his majesty using the Crystal Screen, these millions of troops aren't enough; if we are to defeat these Wizards, we need at least over five times this number of troops, including the entire Dragon Spellcaster Group, the entire Corrosive Dragon Army, the entire Dragon Beast Knight Order, all the Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors, and one hundred thousand Dragon Breath Cannons.

We can either extract as much information about the Wizards as possible in this war or preserve our troops as much as we can.

I hope his majesty can make a decision."

...

The Black Wizards began their assault towards the Dragon Breath Cannon positions immediately after landing, differing from the Slave Army's scattered soldiers. Although the Black Wizards fought individually, their strength far surpassed those of the slave monsters.

The Wizards' arcane and peculiar spells gave the Fire Lizard Warriors a severe headache. One might discover that the same Wizard who used Fireball Technique in their previous move could next summon a sharp spike from the ground or swing their Magic Wand to explode their heads.

Compared to the Wizards, these battle-hardened Fire Lizard Warriors seemed like raw recruits, being disoriented and outclassed by the Wizards' spells.

Soon, the first Wizard to breach the area around the Dragon Breath Cannons appeared.

That was an old Second Ring Wizard, whose life force was in a state of decay. He wore a black robe, and his body was mostly elementalized, with white and purple lightning intertwined, making up the majority of his body.

He swung his magic wand toward the Dragon Breath Cannon, and his attack was a thunderous bolt out of the blue.

Boom!

After the lightning passed, the Dragon Breath Cannon remained undamaged, while a Golden Robed Fire Lizard surrounded by three Fire Lizards wearing golden masks took center stage.

A barrier, emanating from him, firmly blocked the Wizard's lightning.

At this moment, the Golden Robed Fire Lizard was chanting some ancient and obscure language, but each syllable he uttered caused faint energy fluctuations around him.

This old Wizard had experienced many battles and had witnessed countless strange abilities, so he immediately recognized this tactic.

"Command center, command center, this is Nasito, new type enemy combat units have appeared on the battlefield. They are estimated to be Psychic Evolvers with Spellcasting abilities, capable of withstanding thunderstorms of at least 4,000 Energy Level."

The old Wizard kept his gaze on the Golden Robed Fire Lizard while retreating and reported the intelligence he deduced to the command center.

The Golden Robed Fire Lizard, watching the Wizard, suddenly began to chant the syllables at an accelerated pace.

And with the final syllable heralded, a crimson flame suddenly appeared beside the Golden Robed Fire Lizard. He watched the departing old Wizard, and as the flame began to weaken, the Wizard's body suddenly burst into raging flames.

The body of the old Wizard, although mostly elementalized, was still important because of the remnants of flesh and blood.

As the flame appeared, his body of flesh and blood instantly turned to ashes.

And the fire did not stop there; it even attempted to ignite on the Wizard's elemental body, frightening the old Wizard into hastily dispersing his elemental form, and then instantly reassembling it.

After reassembling, the eerie flame finally dissipated.

"Such a strange ability, almost like a Curse," said the old Wizard, still fearful, but he then relayed the message to the command center.

This was important intelligence, worth a good amount of Magic Essence rewards from the command center.

The Dragon Spellcaster Group did not continue the pursuit, allowing the old Wizard to leave freely.

Their mission was to protect the Dragon Breath Cannon, and slaughtering Wizards was not part of their task.

Compared to the experienced old Wizard, other Black Wizards who attacked the Dragon Breath Cannon were not so fortunate. The Curse Flame of the Dragon Spellcaster Group killed hundreds of Wizards in one strike, including some Second Ring Wizards.

However, the command center soon developed a counterstrategy.

"Emergency announcement from the command center, the enemy has deployed Psychic Evolver combat units, skilled in Curse Flame. This flame's Energy Level ranges from six hundred to forty-two hundred. Countermeasures include high-frequency Magic Power vibration or applying optical invisibility to oneself.

Furthermore, for the mission to destroy strategic weaponry, it is advised to be led by at least one or more Second Ring Wizards in a squad-based assault. It is not recommended for those below Three Rings to engage in solo attacks."

Upon receiving the message, the Black Wizards on the battlefield quickly reacted, with Black Wizard squads swiftly appearing. Overseeing the entire battlefield, the groups of Black Wizards pierced through the Fire Lizard Warrior formations like sharp arrows.

Cutting, surrounding, annihilating.

Under the command of some experienced old Wizards, the Black Wizard squads dismantled the Fire Lizard Warriors' defenses at an astonishing pace. The White Wizard Army in the sky further prevented most of the Fire Lizard troops from providing support, only able to watch as their lines were dissolved by the Black Wizards.

Collapse was about to begin.

...

"Such impressive individual combat capabilities."

Harash stood in the strategy room, overlooking the entire battlefield.

His position was at the very rear of the battlefield, shaped like an obsidian pyramid carried by a giant Dragon Tortoise, always ready to move if needed. From this position, even the War Airships of the Wizards couldn't reach, let alone the main cannons of the Floating City.

Order Officers kept bringing the latest battle reports; the elite within his Fire Lizard Army were being depleted at an alarming rate.

The previous monsters had fought for five days and only lost tens of thousands of Fire Lizards, but as soon as these Wizards appeared, in just half a day, his army had lost over a hundred thousand men, and the number was still increasing at an alarming rate.

"Has His Majesty not responded yet?"

Harash looked to his side, where an Order Officer was anxiously waiting in front of a Crystal Screen.

Suddenly, the Crystal Screen lit up with a point of light, and the Order Officer quickly presented the screen to Harash.

"Sir, the King's response has arrived."

Harash took the screen, tapped it once, and the next moment, the image of the Fire Lizard King appeared on the Crystal Screen.

The Fire Lizard King sat high on a golden throne, his nearly ten-meter-tall majestic body topped with five fierce Dragon Heads, looking terrifyingly formidable.

"Harash, bring the army back."

Harash, looking at the screen, knelt on the ground.

"Your will, my King."

...

Before long, watching the beginning retreat of the Fire Lizard Army, Richard turned and left the edge of the Floating City.

"Richard, are you going down to join the action?" asked Bob casually.

Richard did not turn back but casually pulled out a Magic Wand from his pocket.

"Of course, this is one of the best opportunities to make money during this war."
