Chapter 462: Delaying Tactics

The Gladiator finally activated the device before Grand Wizard Foster's ghost escaped.

A light shield rose in a thick, disgusting shade of green. Disgusting enough to make even the most determined environmentalists shy away from organic food.

"Hold on to the ground, don't let it run back again!"

The five archsorcerers summoned their staffs in unison.

"Is there anything you can do to prevent me from escaping, my dear colleagues?" "Foster's ghost seemed to be tired of eating and stopped to breathe. "By the way, old Howard, I'm very unhappy that you call me 'it'. ”

At this point, it ...... Well, the strength of "his" aura has grown to about a thousand Tvorm.

"It's not disrespectful. Grand Wizard Howard shrugged, "But I still think you're very different from my little Pipsqueak, and it's not appropriate to call him 'he.'" ”

"Well, whatever you want. Foster's ghost said. "But to be clear, I don't want to run away. In fact, I'd love to see my former colleagues each contribute eighty percent of your magical power to help me with an important experiment that I won't be going to leave until that goal is accomplished. ”

"That's going to take you a long time...... If we didn't use magic. ”

Grand Wizard Alex grunted.

"It's okay, I can afford it. Foster's ghost said happily, "I don't need to eat, I don't need to sleep...... There is no body that has this benefit. ”

"Why did you just say you couldn't use spells?"

Jigong asked Alex curiously.

"I mean you can't attack with magic, not that you don't use ......"

"Because he can absorb true qi. Therefore, it is not possible to attack with spells made of True Qi. ”

Wu Ge was in the distance and interjected loudly.

"Oh...... That's right. ”

Jigong suddenly realized.

"That's a good summary. Foster's soul said appreciatively, "Still. Using indirect magic attacks, it's impossible to ...... me."

It...... Or "he", suddenly stunned.

"Why are there so many oriental cultivators in the 'Holy and Holy Wizard Cultivation Place'? Are you holding a Chinese cultural festival?"

"He" asked in surprise.

"It's just two, is that a lot?"

Howard asked rhetorically.

"Because of the alien threat, Chief Archwizard Riddle intends to unite the Eastern and Western cultivation worlds. ”

Alex explained.

"Ah, aliens? "He," he said, a little distractedly. "I think I wanted to practice oriental magic. In pursuit of immortality, you treat me as a heretic...... And now, you're going to take the initiative to join forces with them?"

Grand Wizard Howard shrugged.

"Times have changed. We also need to keep up with the times. ”

He said.

"Well, it's a shame I couldn't keep up with the times...... So, dear Howard, are you stalling for time? to wait for the other great wizards to arrive. Or do you want someone to bring you a magic isolation felt?"

Foster's ghost floats down from the sky in front of Howard.

Howard stroked his beard.

"Isn't it good for colleagues to talk together? After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

He said quietly.

"That's true...... But I prefer to eat and talk at the same time. ”

Foster's ghost lunged at Howard.

"Get away...... It's not tea time. ”

Archwizard Howard shouted as he cocked his staff.

――――7788――――

"Hmm. It doesn't look that hard. Isn't it?"

Jigong looked around with some confusion.

"Yes. The hard part is in the back. ”

Grand Wizard Howard said calmly.

When Foster's ghost pounced, Grand Wizard Howard used his famous trick "Airburst Bomb". Although this spell also requires the use of magical power, its lethality mainly comes from the power generated by the compressed air explosion, so it is an "indirect magic attack", which does not allow Foster's ghost to absorb much magical power.

Foster's ghost was blown apart and almost disappeared.

"You're saying it hasn't been defeated yet?"

Jigong asked.

"I have become an immortal, I am invincible. ”

There was a cacophony of metal scraping, and Foster's ghost slowly coalesced and manifested in the distance.

"Last time we imprisoned you. And this time we will imprison you again. ”

Howard said proudly.

"Dear Howard, you're still a great wizard. The ghost giggled in an ugly voice. "Don't you know that being imprisoned is not the same as being defeated? I am immortal and immortal. ”

"There's really no way?"

Jigong asked.

"I'm afraid I can't help it until the magic isolation felt arrives. Howard admitted. "Until then, we can only do our best to prevent him from growing in strength. ”

"So what to do?"

"Do nothing...... I mean as much as possible. ”

Grand Wizard Howard coughed and said.

"Do you think you can do nothing?"

Foster's ghost lunged at Howard again.

Grand Wizard Howard unleashes an airburst bomb again, and the ghost is blown away again.

Archwizard Alex sighed.

"For God's sake, dear Foster, stop making trouble. He tried to convince the ghost. "You must know that after your accident, everyone is very sad......"

"Not including me. ”

Grand Wizard Howard interjected stiffly.

"Uh, well, not including you...... Actually, Chief Archwizard Riddle has always wanted to find a way to restore you to human form. He was so active in promoting exchanges between us and our Eastern counterparts, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to seek solutions in Eastern practice. ”

"What, you guys have this idea...... then why didn't you say it earlier!"

Jigong was surprised.

Alex was even more surprised.

"What, do you really have a solution for this?"

He asked in surprise.

"Well, no...... We've never seen this happen. ”

Jigong was a little embarrassed.

Alex was furious.

No...... What are you doing without your surprise?

"Don't talk to me about that traitor to Riddle. Foster's ghost said grimly, "I treat him like a son! He really wants me to be human again, and he shouldn't have broken my oath and destroyed my body, so that I have no way out...... He simply wanted to be the chief wizard himself. ”

"You're the fault of Riddle for this. Alex patiently explained. "He was under too much pressure at the time...... After all, you have already caused great panic and public outrage by absorbing the power of other wizards. ”

"Should I be treated like a dark wizard, then?" the ghost snapped out as Alex interrupted. "You know, I didn't drain their power, I left them with enough strength to continue their cultivation - it's not murder, it's theft at best...... Besides, I made it clear that I would double it back when I succeeded. ”

"But old Schneider can't wait for you to pay it back...... He couldn't stand the blow and committed suicide. ”

Howard grunted disgruntlingly.

"That's to blame for not believing in me, and being too weak-willed. ”

The ghost shouted solemnly.

"Anyway, Foster, bear with me for a while, we're sure we'll figure out a way to get you back into human form. ”

Alex pleaded.

"No, I've figured it out myself. ”

The ghost said coldly, and then flew swiftly towards Howard.

There was a crisp sound that shook the sky. Howard had already taken precautions, and another airburst bomb. The ghost was blown up for the third time.

"Ruthless Howard...... Can't you just use some other tricks?"

The ghost condensed again, screaming in annoyance.

"This trick works best for you. ”

Howard sneered.

"Okay, I'll see how long you can consume. ”

The ghost gritted its teeth and shouted, charging at Howard again. But as soon as Howard made the spell casting move, it suddenly turned and pounced on Wu Ge in the distance at a higher speed.

“…… Don't use any magic!"

The five great wizards were shocked and reminded in unison.

Wu Ge turned and fled.

"Hehe, I think this young Oriental wizard is more to my taste. ”

The ghost quacked and laughed as he chased after him.

There was a shocking sound of "boom".

After all, Wu Ge was not as proficient as Grand Wizard Howard in terms of spell casting proficiency, and the ghost flashed in time, but it was still swept away by the airburst bomb and stopped in the air.

"Bastard!"

The ghost was furious, and his image trembled. "Why do you want to use Western magic, don't you know any Eastern magic?" (To be continued......)
