Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Chapter 1348: Chapter 455: Safe Deposit Box (Part 2)

They saw a pale blue specter once again launch two pale blue arrow attacks towards Rein and Moria.

This time, Rein could clearly sense that the opponent’s attack was very strange; the incoming blue energy arrows were not pure, as if they were some kind of chaotic tangle of yarn, with a type of chaotic radiation energy contained within the ice-element energy.

And these blue arrows, upon striking the side of a bookshelf, caused the wooden shelf to decay in an instant.

This bizarre attack effect immediately made both of them furrow their eyebrows.

On one hand, the consequences of being hit were unpredictable; on the other hand, if they couldn’t stop the attack, and it hit the precious scrolls and books on the shelves, the loss would be significant.

Their gains from exploring the ruins this time would be greatly diminished, perhaps even to nothing.

While dodging the opponent’s attack, Moria quickly said to Rein:

"It seems there’s only one way. The opponent is not completely immune to witchcraft; we can use a high frequency of witchcraft attacks. Over time, it will add up."

"Sect Leader, let me try again!" Rein exclaimed with gleaming eyes.

Moria was a bit puzzled but quickly nodded and dodged to another side, continuously casting Wind Blade Technique, Fireball Technique, and other types of witchcraft.

One purpose was to draw the attention of the pale blue Spiritual Body, giving Rein a good opportunity to attack; another was Moria’s curiosity as to whether the opponent was more sensitive to attacks from any particular series of witchcraft.

"Hmm?"

He turned his head to glance at Rein using the Metal Cutting Net again, looking puzzled.

Hadn’t this just been tried?

It basically had no effect!

Why was Rein going to try it again?

But this time, when the silver metal net penetrated the opponent’s Spiritual Body, the pale blue Spiritual Body suddenly looked terrified.

At the same time, Moria could clearly see the Spiritual Body becoming increasingly transparent, and its energy fluctuations weakened significantly...

"This..." Moria’s mouth opened slightly, wanting to ask something but not knowing where to start.

If Rein’s strength from before, such as transforming into a Dragon-man, was strong, there was at least a path to follow. But what was just now?

The same silver metal cutting net—at first, it had no effect, but the second time, it was startlingly effective?

"You wretched invaders! You only dare to bully me, the servant, because the master is not here."

"But do you think this means you’ve won? Although my strength is far from comparable to the master’s, I also have my powers! Blizzard!!"

The opponent’s face showed fear and anger. After conveying two sentences through continuous spiritual fluctuations, they suddenly raised both hands, and a massive blue cloud began to appear out of nowhere at the top of the room.

"Quickly, Rein, Blizzard is an area witchcraft. If it releases, we may be fine, but these ancient books are probably..." Moria said with a worried look.

"Hmm!"

Just seeing the effectiveness of the Dragon Soul Strike reassured Rein greatly.

Next, it was nothing more than consuming a little more spiritual power.

True damage indeed is a powerful weapon.

As Rein’s fingers pointed continuously, grid-like metal nets emitting dense silver light shot rapidly toward the pale green specter.

The opponent seemed to instinctively sense danger and tried to retreat, but on one hand, the Blizzard-like witchcraft they were casting was a channeled type; on the other, Rein’s spellcasting was instant.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Thus, in less than a second, nine continuous silver metal nets passed through the Spiritual Body!

And the pale blue specter continuously rippled like water, growing fainter...

In the end, they managed to drop a sentence intermittently: "Just wait! When... the master returns from the New Continent, they will hunt you all down and kill you!"

"New Continent?" Rein wondered.

"Yes, it was only a few thousand years ago when the New Continent, where the Eagle Federation is located, was discovered. Judging by this, the timing of the Valziger Ruins should coincide with the exploration period."

"During the exploration period, most Wizard Schools sent various exploration teams to the New Continent, some even fully mobilizing their members."

"It seems the Sect Leader of the Valziger School at that time also went to the New Continent, and judging from the signs here, they never returned."

"At least not back here, or else there wouldn’t be so many unsorted tomes on their desk and shelves," Moria speculated as he pointed to the various books on the shelves.

"Yes, by the way, Sect Leader, if that thing was a Spiritual Body, then why didn’t we encounter such strange Spiritual Bodies in other rooms?" Rein asked a question.

"That thing, I feel, is a mutated existence caused by radiation on a Spiritual Body. I think we can temporarily call it a Radiation Spirit," Moria said, furrowing his brow as he thought.

"The conditions for forming such a Radiation Spirit should be quite demanding."

"Look at the floor of this room; there’s a Defensive Witch Array that weakens the radiation intensity, and in front of it was at least a Second Level Liquidation-level wizard. They wouldn’t have known Blizzard, a second-level witchcraft, otherwise."

"Coupled with their dying obsession, several factors reached a balance, resulting in such a peculiar Spiritual Body."

"It’s just unclear whether an ice element talent is a necessary condition for forming this Radiation Spirit," Moria pondered and quickly analyzed.

"However, that’s not the focus; we can study this slowly later. Rein, quickly, check if the books are damaged." Moria cheerfully urged Rein.

...

Minutes later, both of them could not hide their disappointment!

"These books are ruined too."

"Yes, it makes sense; it’s not that there’s no radiation here—it’s just weakened! These books and scrolls still couldn’t be preserved," Moria sighed.

Though he agreed with Moria’s words, Rein still felt somewhat unwilling, as this was the Sect Leader’s room.

If there was nothing here, the chances in other rooms would be even lower!

But then, Rein suddenly thought of something!

He quickly moved behind the desk, and immediately, Rein smiled.

He was very joyful!

"Sect Leader, there’s a security box here."

"Hmm?"

"A security box?"

Moria immediately walked over briskly.

"Yes! How did I not think of this? An Advanced Meditation Method is not something you would just leave on a shelf casually."

Seeing the security box below the desk, Moria joyfully slapped his thigh with surprise!

With Moria retrieving an ancient brass key, there was a clicking sound after a few seconds, and the security box opened....

Inside were two scrolls, a black leather diary, and a crystal!

With excitement, Moria quickly drew out one of the scrolls.

"It’s intact! Excellent! It’s not damaged at all!" Holding it, Moria shouted to Rein enthusiastically.

Rein couldn’t help but laugh along.

On the spot, Moria carefully unrolled the scroll.

"Found it, this is it! This scroll records the Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method from the first to the fourth layer!"

Moria, like Rein, was a Metal Series Wizard, and their excitement about finding the fourth layer of this Advanced Meditation Method was clear to see!

Rein also looked delighted!

They hadn’t expected to find it in the office when it wasn’t found in the warehouse area or the archives.

Indeed, such explorations of ruins should be conducted or led by professionals, otherwise, if it were he, he might have left after searching the warehouse and archives.

And since the first scroll is so important, what about the second one?

Rein immediately focused his gaze on the second scroll.
