Chapter 435: Chapter 54 Light Energy Illusion
“Wow, seems like my advice is less effective than your lucky star,” teased Garon the Great Wizard as he observed Richard’s actions.
“Your lucky star?” The Bronze Spear Great Wizard was a bit taken aback, but then he realized whom Garon the Great Wizard was referring to and gasped in shock.
“Are you talking about the Star Realm Master from the Nightmare Wizard World? If I rember correctly, that entity was already a Master before the Lost Ones vanished.
How did this kid manage to obtain their mark?”
The Bronze Spear Great Wizard couldn’t help but shift his gaze toward Richard, the young wizard with so strength. Wizard World sees such wizards erge every few years.
Such wizards are not so uncommon after accumulating over ti.
But for a kid to be marked by a Star Realm Master who had lived for who knows how many years, there must be sothing special about him that he couldn’t see.
“Could this thing be a parasitic host of a Star Realm Master from an Illusion World?” speculated the Bronze Spear Great Wizard.
Hearing such an off-key guess, Garon the Great Wizard couldn’t help but slap the Bronze Spear Great Wizard.
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
In an instant, a small ether storm erupted from the Bronze Spear Great Wizard’s body, shredding several nearby teorites in a flash.
“I checked with the World Guardian in secret, and he is a wizard officially recognized by Wizard World. Those Masters from Illusion Worlds, no matter how powerful, couldn’t deceive a World Guardian in Wizard World.”
The Bronze Spear Great Wizard stroked his bronze beard and asked, “That’s very strange, have you found anything else?”
“Found anything?” Garon the Great Wizard seed puzzled, “Haven’t I already told you?”
“Told what?”
“The lucky star.”
“What kind of finding is that?” The Bronze Spear Great Wizard couldn’t help but retort, “Do you actually believe in this Child of Destiny nonsense?”
Garon the Great Wizard gazed at Richard’s reflection and said without turning his head, “Let tell you this, I recently took him to a fortress world of the Lost Ones, and he directly provided with an incomplete Star Map, plus a functional Star Realm Fortress.
Although I don’t believe in the Child of Destiny, if he keeps bringing benefits like this, I wouldn’t mind considering him as such.”
“A Star Map!?” The Bronze Spear Great Wizard exclaid.
“An incomplete one.”
“Even an incomplete one is good enough,” lanted the Bronze Spear Great Wizard, “Isn’t giving you a Star Map purely a waste?
You take over the world only to farm and raise pigs, not developing the resources and closing the world off from outsiders, just wasting resources outright!”
“I like it that way. Besides, if I were to develop all those worlds I own, just be ready for the market to crash.
I am reducing the council’s burden, you rusty bronze-headed fool.”
“You’re the smart one, barbarian with muscles for brains.”
…
Richard, who was nearing the Mayfly Nest, was unaware that two Great Wizards were quarreling over him like children outside of the world.
He was now carefully approaching the distant nest together with Stio.
In Wizard World, mayflies are aquatic insects, but these Star Realm mayflies seed to have similar characteristics.
About a kiloter away from Richard was a lake, reflecting the galaxy in the sky with breathtaking beauty.
But with Energy Vision, one would see that the lake was filled with energy pathways and swarms of moving energy points.
The mayflies had used so ability to cloak their nest with illusions.
If one couldn’t see through these illusions, they would die without knowing how.
“This should be a Light Energy Illusion,” Stio communicated with Richard via a Spiritual ssage, “These illusions are different from the Illusion Magic of the Soul School that works directly on the soul.
They are created through a combination of optical images and energy to produce an effect nearly identical to a True Illusion.
Such illusions can even cause real damage at the physical level, making it a very sophisticated Shaping Magic.”
Richard was slightly shocked that illusions could cause harm.
What kind of strange contraption was this?
“However, breaking this trick is quite simple,” Stio continued, “after all, an illusion is just an illusion. To use this kind of illusion effectively, you must understand your target extrely well.
You need to know their usual senses to achieve deception.
We wizards rely on various senses, and for such a trick, any falsehood will reveal itself.
Moreover, this consus a lot of energy, so a wizard who is sensitive to energy perception will quickly notice sothing is amiss.”
Stio knew that despite Richard’s formidable combat prowess, his experience and knowledge were far less than that of an older wizard like himself. So he assud the role of a comntator.
He had accompanied various Great Wizards and participated in nearly twenty Plane Wars. His strength might not be overwhelming, but his knowledge was certainly more than sufficient.
Richard nodded slightly and replied with a Spiritual ssage, “Let’s go, keep approaching.”
Using Shadow Magic, the two of them edged closer to the lake.
The surface of the lake appeared calm, but in Richard’s Energy Vision, it was never at rest.
Groups of mayflies constantly flew in and out of their nest.
These Mayflies not only had the effect of optical invisibility but also possessed the ability to weaken spiritual power detection. In the presence of spiritual power, these Mayflies were like traces on the sand, disappearing without a trace at the slightest breeze.
If one wasn’t paying attention, it would be very easy to overlook them.
“What a strong survival talent, I wonder what their combat abilities are like.”
Richard hid in the shadows of the forest, waiting quietly for the Mayfly swarm to co, much like a hunter lying in wait.
In his observation just now, he had confird that these Mayflies were going in and out of their nest to survey the surrounding area and incidentally gather so materials.
It seed that these Mayflies were feeding sothing.
Ti passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Although Richard wasn’t in a hurry hiding in the shadow, waiting like this was not a solution.
Thinking this, Richard took out an incomplete Magic Stone from his pocket and threw it nearby.
Since these Mayflies could create sothing like a Light Energy Illusion, it seed their perception of energy was quite sharp.
Now that they were collecting materials, using a Magic Stone as bait was more than suitable. Moreover, to avoid being too obvious, he had deliberately absorbed so energy from the Magic Stone, creating the illusion that they had missed it.
A complete Magic Stone was unlikely to be overlooked by these Mayflies, but an incomplete one might be.
Soon after Richard threw the Magic Stone, a group of Mayflies arrived above where the stone lay.
In Richard’s Energy Vision, these Mayflies, although individual entities, had faint energy light paths between the different individuals.
“These Mayflies are even more troubleso than Delis ntioned,” Richard thought to himself.
The Mayflies drew near to the Magic Stone, and one at the tail end of the squad lifted the stone.
“To think we missed an Energy Stone.”
“An incomplete one, probably the last patrol team wasn’t paying attention.”
“Let’s hurry back. Those Wizard Monsters seem to have discovered this place; we’ve already lost two patrol teams these past two days.”
“Ah, when will we be able to contact the Supre Lake…”
While the Mayflies were exchanging their thoughts, Richard and Stio suddenly sprang into action from the shadows.
Both had tacitly chosen not to use Spells, but instead to use physical attacks, which made less noise.
In an instant, both their arms moved like phantoms, swiftly incapacitating the entire Mayfly squad.
Following that, nurous Rune Chains appeared in Richard’s hands, and a cluster of black iron sand appeared in Stio’s, both sealing the Mayflies with practiced ease.
For two Three Rings Wizards, these First Level Mayflies had no chance of resistance.
“What now?” Stio asked with a hand gesture.
Richard glanced at the sealed Mayflies in his hand and made a retreat gesture.
The absence of a patrol team ant the Mayflies’ nest was bound to notice sothing was amiss. Staying here could lead to a direct confrontation with these Mayflies.
Returning with the Mayflies, Richard saw that Delis had not yet returned, so he began to study the Mayflies in his hand.
The living Star Realm Mayflies appeared very transparent, and their delicate neural networks could even be observed visually.
Through his Energy Vision, Richard found that the energy circulation of these Mayflies was exceptionally simple, almost identical to the Magic Rebound in Wizards.
This type of circulation didn’t confer the various capabilities that typical living being’s energy circulation did, but it had two advantages: ease of use and large capacity.
The fact that these Mayflies also used this type of energy circulation made Richard even more certain of his conjecture—these Mayflies were a civilized species.
Richard took out a vial of anesthetic from his pocket and then released the Seal on one of the Mayflies.
Before the Mayfly could react, Richard injected the anesthetic.
It was easier to observe characteristics when the subject was alive.
Seeing this, Anthony’s eyes lit up.
“Chairman Richard, could you sell so of that anesthetic?”
Inspecting a live specin was not the sa as a dead one.
Richard took out a bottle of anesthetic from his pocket.
“I made it myself; a hundred Magic Essences, and it can anesthetize third-level creatures with a higher dosage.”
Anthony didn’t haggle, directly taking out a hundred Magic Essences from his pocket and handing them to Richard.
“Thanks, Master.”
Orei, who was watching, also felt a bit moved and bought a bottle of anesthetic from Richard.
“Thank you, Master.”
Orei took the anesthetic, bowing slightly to Richard.
Richard nodded subtly, thinking to himself that these Great Wizards’ students didn’t seem very sensitive to prices.
The raw materials and labor for these two bottles of anesthetic added up to just twenty Magic Essences. Although it was a special situation, he would have been satisfied selling for sixty Magic Essences; eighty would have thrilled him.
But to his surprise, these two students of Great Wizards didn’t even try to haggle.
“Are the resources of a Great Wizard so abundant?” Richard wondered.
What Richard had forgotten was that this bottle of anesthetic wasn’t any ordinary one. He was the founder of Richard Jolod’s Comrce, the creator of the Magic Support Vehicle, the anesthetic made by Richard himself.
An item in the hands of different Wizards could have different values.
At that mont, Richard had not yet fully realized one thing—he was considered a Big Shot now.
