Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 262 Moon Dance (Part 2)
Beneath a sky full of stars, patches of fiery red full moon flash by in an instant.

Shattered bones danced with flames, and the crimson moon soared alongside snowflakes.

The swarming skeletal warriors were like backup dancers in a performance, falling like straws with each whistling of the blades.

"so beautiful!"

The other golden-armored warrior, hiding in mid-air, was speechless.

The figure dancing under the stars paused, and the dark-skinned boy looked up.

The golden-armored warrior quickly manipulated the void, and a faint voice reached the dancers below.

"Do you need me to come pick you up? I can fly, they can't catch us!"

……

Yaro shook his head slightly and looked away.

Even if Ian could take himself away, could he really take such a big deer cart with him?
Ian can manipulate the wind to fly, but he is only an apprentice and his flying speed is not fast.

But that ice manipulator, with the help of the thick snow around him, could keep up with the running deer!

Peace is won through fighting, not begged for!

If we don't beat them to a pulp, are we supposed to live in constant fear and take precautions?
Perrin Castle isn't too far from here!

……

On the snow-covered plains, the moonlight dances once more!
The giant snow wolf realized what was happening, quickly entangled itself, and roared as it attacked relentlessly.

Strange skeletal energy flew out of the jungle, accompanied by icy blades that whistled through the air.

In addition, the spreading ice crystals ahead restricted Yaro's direction of movement, and various attacks also hindered his movement.

The skeleton warriors constantly rising from behind prevented Yaro from charging forward recklessly.

But... these moves are really lacking in power.

"Have you run out of tricks? Isn't it my turn to fight back?"

Amidst the shattered bones, the Moon Dancer spoke with a hint of disappointment.

Sneaking closer, he reached directly for the deer cart, intending to steal the purchased items quietly.

The enormous snow wolf, along with its signature moves, including the ice ray trick it unleashed later, could have been quite dangerous if I hadn't dodged it.

There were also numerous summoned skeletal warriors. Although they were not very strong, each one could deal with ordinary heavy armor soldiers. Such a large number of them was enough to cause considerable trouble for many intermediate apprentices.

The way these ambushers started was truly astonishing to Yaro.

But what next?
Those subsequent spells were just simple, basic tricks, right?
The jungle fell silent.

Yaro's ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly looked at a blurry figure in the jungle, a cold smile appearing on his face.

Go all in, then run if you can't win?
What was supposed to be a dazzling start turned out to be nothing more than a display of all their powerful abilities.

You guys are something else!
"Where to run!"

boom!
Suddenly, a gap appeared in the snow, and Yaro's figure vanished into thin air.

"what--!"

The signature trick of the undead class: Fear!
Yaro's heart suddenly contracted, as if an invisible force was violently pulling at his heart. His head suddenly felt dizzy, as if he was being repeatedly hit with a heavy hammer.

The gray-robed apprentice in front quickly reached into his robes, pulled out several glowing potions, and tossed them to Yaro.

The Fear spell only interrupts spells for all wizard apprentices who have already condensed their mental power; its actual control effect is not strong.

Moreover, the abyssal power surrounding Yaro already provides a good defense against energy attacks.

Before the potion was even out of the air, Yaro had already woken up. He swiftly slashed out with his longsword, releasing all the firepower he had accumulated from wielding it for so long.

Fiery Sword Technique - Accumulated Flame!
boom!
Blinding white flames shot into the sky, coalescing into a raging fire blade over three meters tall!

"cut!"

Bang!

The potion shattered instantly, bursting forth with clumps of eerie insect-like bodies resembling fireflies, which were instantly ignited by intense flames.

The massive fire blade didn't stop, and suddenly slashed down at the gray-robed apprentice who was crying out in despair.

Rumble!
Limbs and flames danced together, air currents surged, trees rustled in the jungle, and hanging ice crystals fell continuously.

……

The 3,600+ experience points also indicate that this undead apprentice's combat power far exceeds that of the previous blood bat!

However, many of his spells were perfectly countered by Yaro.

"Two more!"

A cold glint flashed in Yaro's eyes as he arrogantly turned to look at his side.

"Ow!"

With a wolf howl, snow wolves scattered and fled quickly in all directions through the jungle.

Swish!
As the wind and snow gathered, an ice ship swiftly traversed the area.

Yaro pursued for a few steps, then slowed down.

In the icy wilderness, chasing either werewolves or ice-type wizard apprentices is no easy task.

Ian's figure appeared in mid-air, and he quickly reminded, "Yarlo, let's go, or the others will catch up!"

go?
Yaro, panting heavily, picked up his heavy sword and stepped once again onto the edge of the empty lake.

"Today, I want to teach them a lesson..."

Yaro's voice was cold and ruthless.

"Keep quiet within my sight!"

If that's not the case, why would Yaro bother to create distance and separate enemies with different speeds?

If it weren't for this, why would he activate the Demon Strike Technique?

Tonight... is destined for revelry!
With his eyes slightly narrowed and Yaro fully activating 'Cat-Shaped Fist - Running', he noticed a faint sound.

"kill!"

Magical Technique - Phoenix Spreads Its Feathers.

Body Flicker Technique - Double Body Flicker!
Silent Killing Technique - Fog Body Technique!

Crescent Moon Triple Slash!
Having already activated his magic, Yaro suddenly unleashed a variety of techniques, shrinking his body into a golden thread as he waited patiently for the opportune moment to strike without mercy!

"Shhhhh!"

……

[Remaining skill points: 1]

[Personal Level LV21: 8805/30000]

……

The enemy, worth over two thousand experience points, didn't even have time to retaliate before being slain by Yaro's sword!
After dealing with the tail that was following closely behind, there was a little time to build up strength.

Without the interference of the ice wizard, relying on his Cat-Shaped Fist - Run, his pursuers could not escape his senses. With the enhanced coordination from his Advanced Cat-Shaped Fist - Climb Tree, the complex jungle terrain posed no obstacle to him.

"Anyone who dares to set foot here is preparing to be my enemy."

Yaro surveyed his surroundings, gripped his heavy sword tightly, and said coldly:

Don't say you weren't warned!

"Chirp—!"

The black flame phoenix, perfectly integrated with the golden armor, flashed its bloodthirsty eyes and emitted a piercing clang.

The second level of the Magic Striking Technique involves embedding all the power of the abyss within the armor. Relying on the unique structure of the Magic Striking Technique, it transforms the energy of matter into the kinetic energy of the object, propelling the body and unleashing terrifying power.

Combined with various techniques, the power that bursts forth in a short time is enough to make even a formal wizard take notice!

Unlike energy attacks, materialized kinetic attacks do not allow for a direct visual assessment of their strength. Furthermore, because these techniques rarely involve bursts of light or heat, they appear somewhat unadorned.

That's why some people who think they're capable simply ignore it.

After all, the large bag on his back, the powerful golden armor he wore from the market, and the 'suddenly' added crystal heavy sword all proved the boy's 'wealth'.

hum!
Faced with this greed, Yaro simply activated the Eye of Lava, causing it to spin at high speed.

The molten stone released intense flames, and long, blazing white flames were continuously drawn in and gathered, accumulating more and more firepower.

The strategy of waiting in comfort for the enemy to tire themselves out and then striking them while they are halfway across the river is nothing more than this!

Clang!
Swift as the wind, fast as thunder!
one strike!
One life!
Show no mercy!

……

"die……"

[Converted into personal experience, personal experience points increased by 2343]

[Remaining skill points: 1]

[Personal Level LV21: 9725/30000]

……

"you……"

[Converted into personal experience, personal experience points increased by 2213]

[Remaining skill points: 1]

[Personal Level LV21: 15638/30000]

……

Those who can utter a word or two are considered quick-witted, but most cannot even make a sound.

The mutilated bodies were carelessly discarded in the jungle, but what Yaro saw as mutilated bodies were treasures to many others.

Not to mention the medicines and treasures that might be carried on each corpse.

The bones from the remains can be sold to enchanting shops, while the flesh and hair can be used to brew potions and cultivate monsters.

Even those ethereal fragments of souls are rare cultivation materials for the necromancy system.

Hyenas lingered outside, while vultures circled overhead.

Unfortunately... they dared not set foot there.

It was a battlefield, a meat grinder, a bloody slaughterhouse!

It's as if there's an invisible dividing line, with a pure white snowfield on one side and vibrant peach blossoms blooming on the other!

Crimson mist was spreading, and the once smooth snow was corroded and eroded by the scalding blood, becoming uneven and rugged like it had been chewed by a dog.

Amidst the uneven, vibrant red blossoms, the golden armor—still shines brightly!
"Does anyone else want my magic stone?"

The swaying jungle suddenly fell silent.

The young man, who had been waiting for a long time, stood with his sword in hand, looked around, and slowly asked:

"Is there anyone else who wants me dead?"

Each life lost proved the truth of the teenager's warning.

No one wants to test Aro's blade anymore.

Those who were stubborn, arrogant, and unable to control their greed... have all fallen to the ground.

Although—they didn't understand why Yaro's blade could work on many illusory states.

"Not a single one who can fight!"

Yaro shook his head, feigning regret.

Despite such sharp words, the surroundings remained silent.

True powerhouses don't appear in such remote locations.

True power does not covet carrion like a hyena.

True powerhouses wouldn't even deign to look down on the few sets of equipment that Yarrow brought out from the remote alchemy shop.

—It's much more satisfying to rob the market directly than to rob these few things!

Leaving aside the market, this world is full of strange places, and it's not too difficult to earn magic stones by venturing into slightly dangerous areas.

Those are vicious predators who like to rob others, and they have many better targets—why are they staring at the hard spot in the middle of the snow when so many people are gathered around?

Even if we win, won't others benefit from it?
"there is none left?"

The boy looked around and asked, "So, I'm leaving now?"

The breathing from deep in the jungle suddenly became rough, and the hyenas' saliva was already dripping from their mouths.

Are there mutilated corpses on the ground?
Do not!
After being divided and processed, those are all magic stones!

Hearing those faint sounds, the boy gave a mocking smile, attached the heavy sword, which was glowing with a faint red light, to the sword slot on his back, and turned to walk towards the two trembling deer.

It's unclear whether they were there because of the cold or because of fear.

"go!"

With a light flick of the whip, the deer-drawn cart moved slowly along the mottled road, making a creaking sound.

The moon shines brightly when the stars are few, and the stars shine brightly when the moon is gone.

Beneath the dazzling starry sky.

The shadows once again covered this land of blooming blood flowers.

……

suck--!
call--!
The flames of the greatsword had died down, and the cries of the black phoenix had dissipated. On the vast expanse of white snow, two deer panted as they slowly dragged the carriage forward, but no one dared to stop them.

Inside the carriage, Yaro, holding a heavy sword, closed his eyes to meditate, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

"A good start prevents a hundred more. Since this is the nearest market, we'll definitely be coming here often, so we can't keep doing such dishonest things!"

"A tiger roars across the mountains and rivers, severing someone's thoughts in one fell swoop, thus avoiding the fatigue of guarding against thieves for a thousand days!"

……

"If it is possible, it is a means, not an end!"

As long as the goal can be achieved, it's not necessarily a bad thing to play it safe.

However, Yaro never intended to live a life of mere survival.

He lifted the carriage curtain and looked up at the figure whistling through the air: "How much longer are you going to follow me?"

“I also have to go this way to get home…” Ian wanted to argue, but faced with Yaro’s cold face, he had no choice but to say, “Okay, I’m actually a little curious.”

"What are you curious about?" Yaro asked noncommittally.

Faced with Yaro's triumphant arrival, Ian had no choice but to honestly reply, "I just want to see your enchanted greatsword. If you're willing to sell it, how many magic stones would you need?"

Yaro was taken aback: "An enchanted greatsword?"

Ian nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Yes, your enchanted greatsword is not only similar in appearance to Aro's, but it is also quite powerful. I like it very much."

This is the same greatsword!

Yaro was both amused and exasperated.

The most crucial part of the Fiery Greatsword is the kinetic energy core in the hilt. This is a structure that Bosco painstakingly researched. It's one thing for Yaro to use it himself, but how could he possibly sell it?
"Not for sale?"

Faced with Yaro's decisive refusal, Ian was momentarily disappointed, but quickly recovered and asked curiously, "Did you forge your own armor and the greatsword in your hand?"
