Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 56 - Killing
Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Killing
On the fifteenth day of the exam, ten slave monsters from different worlds were placed into the examination arena.
These monsters’ strengths were all at the Advanced Apprentice stage, which to the vast majority of Apprentices, were like insurmountable mountains. They wantonly slaughtered every Wizard Apprentice they saw in the arena, not just for the freedom promised by the Wizards, but also due to the deep-seated blood feud between the two races.
“Richard, have you locked onto him?”
Richard frowned, in Wuni’s field of vision, the four-armed creature was constantly moving.
It was unceasingly searching for hidden Wizard Apprentices to massacre and devour.
“Head north for one kilometer, the creature is being held up there.”
Richard issued a command and quickly followed Ali as she used Levitation Skill to fly low, less than a meter off the ground, at high speed.
Meanwhile, one kilometer away, Griffith and Kevin were struggling to fend off Koguk’s attacks.
“Kevin, heal.”
Griffith, holding a Great Sword, shone with a holy light as if he were a Holy Knight. Behind him, Kevin exuded an aura of Death, with several walking corpses beside him to assist.
“Fine.”
Kevin’s pale face was dripping with cold sweat as he continuously absorbed Magic Power from Magic Stones, turning them into Spells to support Griffith.
Undead Apprentices had another name in the distant past, called Life and Death School. The School of Wizards studied both Life Energy and Death Energy.
Later, due to the Wizard Wars, those studying Death Energy became the mainstream, and the name Life and Death School was renamed Undead School.
In fact, the Undead School wasn’t just about lethal Death Magic; it also encompassed life-saving Life Magic, and knowledge about the conversion between Life and Death Energy was available in the Academy library.
It was only with the help of Kevin’s Life Magic that Griffith was barely able to fend off Koguk’s Great Sword.
“Fight! Glory!”
Koguk shouted loudly, his fervent emotions sending chills down Griffith’s spine.
Griffith, who studied the Soul School, could distinctly sense Koguk’s desire for death from his emotions.
The clanging of swords and sounds of battle echoed as more wounds appeared on Griffith’s body.
Kevin’s Life Magic was gradually falling behind the rate of Griffith’s injuries.
His death was only a matter of time.
Boom!
A Fire Crow flew in from the distance, striking Koguk’s back directly, blasting him away in an instant.
Griffith took this opportunity to turn and flee, with no intention of pursuing an attack.
Are you kidding? The two Wizard Apprentices who had come were ruthless men marked with symbols. If you didn’t run away at a time like this, it was all over as soon as they treated you like an easy target.
Richard made a gesture towards Kevin from a distance; Kevin got the message immediately and quickly took off with Griffith.
He was too weak, and in this battle, he would only become cannon fodder and a burden.
Koguk got up from the ground, his wounds visibly healing at a rapid rate.
“Mighty ones! Are you sinners as well?”
Koguk shouted at Richard, this Wizard whelp in front of him, nearly the same height and covered in Black Scales, reminded him of that war from the past.
In that war, Wizard Monsters like Richard, capable of transforming, tore apart numerous Totem Warriors. Even the Clan Leader of their Blood Teeth Tribe died at the hands of such Wizard Monsters.
“What is this creature called?”
Richard frowned and immediately took out a Magic Gun from his Magic Pocket.
He was seven paces away from the creature, within seven paces, the gun is fast; closer than seven paces, the gun is both fast and accurate!
Ding!
Koguk instinctively blocked with his sword, the bullet from the Magic Gun deflected off the sword’s blade, veering to one side.
“Wild Intuition.”
Richard made a judgment. As a Bloodline Alchemy Wizard, he naturally had some understanding of Physique-related knowledge.
Jolod once mentioned in books that these natives, who relied on Physique Evolution, often had extremely sharp intuitions. Jolod was unable to fathom the nature of this intuition, but he found that it often manifested in native warriors who frequently fought in battle. Those pampered noble native monsters often didn’t have this kind of intuition.
Jolod thus came to a not very rigorous conclusion, that this intuition was a form of conditioned reflex formed post-natally, and if Wizards also underwent such training, they could also gain this intuition.
Koguk’s hair stood on end too late, his body hair instantly spiking like a porcupine.
“An ambush is unbecoming of a warrior!”
But before he could finish his sentence, Ali’s Elemental Magic bombarded him again.
Boom!
Koguk split the Fire Crow with a swing of his sword, and the surging Fire Element instantly engulfed him.
However, after the Element dissipated, Richard saw that Koguk was now covered in a layer of blood armor. Protected by the armor, Koguk was hardly injured.

Koguk let out a roar and pounced towards Ali, his imposing aura as vicious as an evil ghost from hell.
But on the path of his lunge, a black figure blocked him.
“Your opponent is me,” Richard said calmly.
As everyone knows, the most indispensable role in a team is the tank, which can absorb damage. Unless you can kill your enemy in an extremely short time, a quality tank is an essential part of the team.
And according to the plan Richard and Ali had discussed, when hunting monsters, Richard’s role was to act as a tank.
As the two exchanged blows, the sound of clashing metal rang incessantly. Behind Richard, Ali, with a calm complexion, drew magic power from the magic stone, organizing her next spell.
Koguk’s great sword was extraordinarily powerful, but Richard was no weakling. Although this monster had the advantage in physique, as a wizard, Richard had far more tricks up his sleeve than these alien creatures.
Suddenly, Richard’s arm muscles bulged, and he firmly caught Koguk’s great sword with his own Demon Eater Sword. This was a technique known as liberation, and it is well known that the strength of human muscles is not just as it appears; at crucial moments, the human body can burst forth with many times its ordinary strength.
Take a familiar example, such as the mother who, at these moments, must lift a car; her muscle strength ordinarily wouldn’t lift the vehicle, but in a moment of crisis, she can unleash astonishing power.
And liberation is the technique to release that kind of strength.
Koguk was shocked by the strength the wizard whelp before it had exploded with. It could clearly sense that the opponent’s physique was inferior to its own, yet its slashing attack was firmly caught.
“A warrior heritage! This wizard whelp possesses the heritage of a warrior,” Koguk judged again with the experience of the Barbaric Bone Prairie.
As warriors of the tribe, the moment they become fighters, they receive the teachings of their predecessors. Each predecessor has his own secret skills, which form the warrior heritage.
It had thought that most wizard monsters were shamans studying the Spirit of Nature, never thinking there would also be warrior-studying warriors.
Richard didn’t know what the creature before him was muttering about. Clutching his great sword, he stared doggedly at the four-armed monster in front of him. During that last exchange, he had caught Koguk’s great sword, but one pair of arms beneath his own had delivered a fierce blow to Richard’s abdomen, practically shattering his innards.
If it weren’t for Richard’s bloodline being mixed with that of a two-headed giant troll, granting him a recovery ability far exceeding that of an average apprentice.
A few more hits, and Richard would’ve been honorably dead.
“As a warrior, I shall respond to you with the courtesy of a warrior.”
Koguk nodded slightly to Richard and then burst into a cloud of blood mist with a powerful aura erupting from within.
Secret Skill: Frenzy
Richard readied himself as Koguk moved; his great sword cleaved towards Richard’s head.
Richard blocked with his sword horizontally, but the strike caused his arms to go numb, almost losing grip on his sword.
One strike followed by another, clang! clang! clang…
It was like Richard was back in the entrance exam tests, getting beaten back step by step, and if it weren’t for his blood-enhanced regenerative ability, he would probably have lost the ability to resist and been hacked into pieces by Koguk by now.
“Richard!”
Ali yelled, and a terrifying fireball fraught with a fearsome aura hurtled straight towards Koguk.
Ali’s long-incubated spell finally erupted.
But upon hearing her, Richard, instead of dodging the spell, pressed forward and entangled Koguk.
“Are you insane?” Koguk yelled at Richard, but seeing Richard’s confident smile, it understood everything.
This was a tactic.
Koguk revealed a fervent smile, fighting entwined with Richard.
Tactics are also part of battle, the ancestors had never looked down on wise warriors.
Boom!
The thunderous sound of the spell startled many apprentices, who turned to look this way, guessing in their hearts.
As the dust from the spell cleared, half of Koguk’s body had been blown apart, and an arm was gone, with a pungent burnt smell pervading the battlefield.
“Ancestors, can this be called a battle of honor?”
Koguk addressed Richard, muttering unclearly in his mouth.
Across from him, Richard, firmly protected by a magic barrier, was watching him vigilantly.
Compared to Koguk, who took spells head-on with his body, Richard, at the instant of the spell’s strike, had an additional magic shield thanks to the Guardian Pendant; and after the magic shield shattered, Richard’s magic barrier also unfolded.
After Ali’s modification, the magic barrier’s protective ability could disregard any elemental damage below energy level twenty, and under conditions of abundant magic supply, the magic barrier could even withstand two hundred energy levels worth of elemental damage.
Of course, “abundant supply” wasn’t achievable even if Richard was drained dry, and he had to wait until he became a wizard to meet this standard.
Koguk struggled to continue fighting, but the severe injuries made it difficult to move at all.
It propped itself up to stand straight, eyes calmly gazing at Richard.
Richard had never seen someone so calm in the face of death.
Koguk said, “This has been an honorable battle; you will gain honor, and I will receive the ancestors’ grace, heading to the lands of lush water and grass.”
Richard stepped forward and severed his head, but that calm gaze had embedded itself deep into his heart.
Thus ended the story of Koguk, the warrior of the Blood Teeth Tribe from the Barbaric Bone Prairie.
