The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 14: The Kill (Part 1)

Angele put the copper-colored ring on his palm. The emerald on the ring had the size of a nail. If it was not cracked, it would probably be clear and beautiful. It looked as if it was about to fall out of the ring. Aside from the cracks, Angele also saw some white patterns engraved on its surface.

“There must be something special about it.” Angele thought as he found it interesting. It was Dice’s ring; he would not carry it with him all the time if it was not important. He looked at the surface carefully, and realized there was a word engraved on it.

“Ma…ss.” The word was written in the universal language, so Angele could still read it.

“Mass?” Angele wasn’t too sure if he was correct. “There might be another way to read it, like… Manss?” The emerald started to shine right after Angele said the word.

“Unknown energy detected! Unknown radiation detected! Affected area or entity unknown!” Zero started sending warning messages.

Angele was surprised; he stared at the shiny green ring without doing anything else. The green color made his upper body look green as well. The whole room looked very weird as the green light filled it up. Angele could feel some chill wind blowing within his palm, and the wind was twisting. It felt like he was holding a mini tornado in his hand.

“What is this…” Angele was shocked, and the green light started flowing like a river. He could even smell the fragrance of the sea.

“Unknown energy is disappearing. Absorb it or not?” the chip asked.

“Wait? I can absorb it?” Angele had no idea that the chip had this function besides passive support.

“Will there be any impact on me?” he asked.

“Not enough data. It will have a positive radiation effect on your body. I can store the energy source,” Zero said.

“Absorb it!” Angele had no time to hesitate because the green light was becoming fainter.

The green light disappeared after some faint noise.

KA!

The emerald on the ring was now completely cracked, and it lost its luster. It looked like a normal green stone now. Angele held the ring in his hand, still thinking about the things that had just occurred.

“This power…” Angele remembered something from the biography he read. It mentioned that there was once a group of people that were stronger than the knights. They could control lightning and wind. They could bring disasters, but they could also bring hope. They knew everything, and they had the same level of power as the legendary monsters.

They called themselves Wizards, and they once existed in this world.

“That was the power of the Wizards…?” Angele took a deep breath; he was getting excited.

“Absorption complete. The energy can enhance your body slowly. I can start the enhance process if you want to, it will be very slow,” the chip reported.

“Enhancement? How does it work?” Angele asked.

“Parts related to your agility,” the chip reported.

“Wait, don’t do it yet.” Angele thought of the Blue Bamboo Shoots. The enhancement process of the Blue Bamboo Shoots wasn’t completed yet, and he could still use the bamboo shoots first. Though it gave him diarrhea, he could have as many bamboo shoots as he wanted. The mysterious energy was not unlimited, and it would be better for him to keep it first.

“Oh, how long does the enhancement process take exactly?” Angele asked.

“About 76 hours.” Zero answered.
