The Wizard World - Chapter 263

Chapter 263
Angele thought for a while and took a deep breath .
‘Zero, check my body condition . ’ he ordered .
‘Checking…’
‘Angele Rio . Strength, 8 . 1 . Agility, 7 . Stamina, 11 . 2 . Mentality, 45 . Mana, 43 . Condition: wounded . Scimitar buff activated . Genetic limit reached . ’
‘My Stamina has increased from 8 to 11 and my Strength has increased from 4 to 8 . The buff is incredible . ’ Angele patted on his cursed scimitar, looking satisfied . ‘I should kill more magical creatures to make the buff even better . ’
He wondered if the buff of the cursed scimitar had a limit .
However, if he somehow lost the scimitar, the buff would no longer be able to aid him . It was not something he could always rely on .
Angele still needed to improve himself .
He learned many things from the battle against the Cloud Bees . Although Angele was a dark wizard and was a good fighter, he would not be able to handle a large group of strong monsters just by himself .
Most of the dark wizards fought in similar ways . However, they all knew some special spells that would only be cast when necessary . Some had powerful modified damage spells, while some had already completed the ritual that could turn their bodies into the energy form . There were also wizards with strong secret techniques that only the inheritors of great wizard families knew of .
Average light wizards were weaker than dark wizards because they barely engaged in any real battle . Some dark wizards would ambush their targets in many ways . Light wizards could not even come up with such ideas .
Light wizards relied on their forcefield and they knew some basic damage spells . They would rather spend the time doing researches than learning strong damage spells .
That was the reason why they did nothing against the Cloud Bees . Angele thought there would be more survivors after the fight, but their spells were just too weak .
‘I need to find a way to stabilize my mentality so that I can start going for the Crystal stage . ’ Angele shook his head . He had not yet found a better way to increase his mentality .
‘Is my mentality stabilized?’ he asked .
‘The mentality stabilization is 65% completed,’ The chip replied quickly, ‘Engaging in intense battles will increase the speed of the process . ’
‘That’s a good news . ’ Angele felt relieved . ‘How should I increase my mentality? Check the database for me . ’
‘Creating the task…’
Angele walked to a dead Cloud Bee as Zero was still searching the database . He pointed at the dead body and released a ray of silver metal liquid from the tip of his finger . The liquid covered the surface of the bee and with the help of the Metal Mastery, Angele carried it back to a room down the stairs .
He wanted to check the body structure of the bee and find out its weakness .
About three hours later, someone knocked on the door .
"Come in, please . " Angele turned around and recognized the visitor right away .
*Creak*
The door was pushed open . Stigma was still wearing a black robe . He entered the door with a black diamond-shaped stone in hand .
"Master Green…"
"Just call me Green . " Angele put down the surgery equipment beside the bee’s dead body after seeing the stone in Stigma’s hand .
With a flick of his finger, the water energy particles formed some clean water and washed the dirt off his hands .
"Take a seat . " Angele pointed at a chair .
"Thanks . "
The two sat opposite to each other .


"You’re correct about the advanced meditation techniques . Many can be found in Omandis . However, they are the secrets of the families or organizations . You need to join the organizations, prove yourself to them, and send an application . After that, you will be able to acquire the advanced meditation technique, but they will make sure that you can’t leak the secret to the others . " Stigma sent the information using energy particles . ‘And you need different resources to support different advanced meditation techniques . A large number of magic stones will be required . "
"Wait, does that mean there are true inheritors of ancient wizards in Omandis?" Angele wondered .
"It’s…not like what you think . " Stigma shook his head . "Our system is similar, but us present wizards are still much weaker than the ancient ones . We’re progressing using a different route developed by our ancestors, but to progress will require a large number of resources . "
"So the problem is still the resources…?" Angele rubbed his chin and started thinking .
Stigma looked at the black stone for several seconds and handed it over to Angele carefully . "This is a part of my family’s meditation technique . You can take a look . "
"That’s generous of you . " Angele smiled .
"This is not the advanced meditation technique we talked about . I think even Reyline has something similar, but it’s better than the one you’re using . " Stigma shook his head . "I’m not an important member of the family so I can’t apply for the advanced meditation technique . "

Angele nodded and as he grabbed the black stone, he noticed rows of twisted runes engraved on its surface that looked like a bunch of meaningless strings .
The runes were connected to each other . It almost looked like they were moving around . Angele rubbed his eyes and looked at the stone again, but the runes had already stopped moving .
"Thank you for the help . " Angele opened the drawer and took out a glass tube with clean blue liquid inside .
He handed the tube to Stigma .
"You know I’m a potion master, right? This is a special healing gel I made . Give it a try . "
Stigma narrowed his eyes and carefully accepted the glass tube . "Thanks, I’ll be leaving now . "
"Sure . "


Angele watched Stigma leave and he locked the door .
He held the black stone in his hand and observed the runes carefully .
Angele memorized all the patterns quickly, then closed his eyes and started trying out the new meditation method .
*********************
Several days later, the three airships traveled passed the Cloud Bee’s nest without a problem after Angele increased the speed . The bees did not go for them again as the five wizards all used their own stealth techniques .
The meditation technique Stigma had given helped him a lot .
On the second day after they went past the nest, Angele’s mentality was finally stabilized .
Angele created another task using the biochip right away . He wanted to find out the best method to increase his mentality .
Zero helped him find the right solution when he wanted to advance to the Liquid stage . Angele believed that this time it would work too .
The analysis function and the database were the reason why the biochip was extremely helpful . The wizards had no way of collecting such large amounts of data and memorize all of them . The analysis function could provide Angele with the best solutions to his problems, too . Although there were limitations, it could still help him progress as a wizard .
Many wizards stopped progressing after advancing to the Gas stage due to various problems .
It took Zero about three days to find the best plan for Angele .
There were two possible solutions .
The first was to find the advanced meditation techniques, but it was too hard to accomplish at the moment .
The second was to kill strong monsters with the cursed scimitar . According to the simulation, it was possible for Angele to absorb some of the pure life energy when the scimitar was consuming the souls of the dead creatures . With the help of proper potions, his attributes could be permanently increased during the process . However, the method could only be used occasionally as the side effects were still unknown .


The potions used in the method were relatively easy to concoct . The only thing he needed was to prepare some special neutralizers .
************************
Inside the room .
Rays of morning light went through the window and illuminated the place .
Angele stood beside a wooden table with a glass bottle in hand . Inside the bottle, there were several grain-sized stones . He was pouring the stones into a beaker on the table .
The beaker contained bubbling green sticky liquid .
The black stones melted and disappeared after contacting the liquid .
Several seconds later, all the stones dissolved in the beaker .
Angele stirred the green liquid with a glass stick several times and poured the solution into 12 empty glass tubes .
Quickly, the glass tubes were inserted into a shelf on the table and all of them were filled up with the sticky solution .
These were the neutralizer Angele needed to concoct the required potions . The potions were used to make sure the pure life energy from the scimitar could be successfully absorbed by his body .
"It’s finally done . " Angele wiped the sweat off his forehead .
He raised his right hand and a bat-shaped rune flashed on the back of his nail .
"How long until we arrive at the next dangerous area?" Angele questioned .
"Five hours later . " Reyline’s voice echoed in his ear . "Let’s see if Stigma’s method works . "
"Yeah . He said that those creatures were weaker than the Cloud Bees, but we should still proceed with caution . "
