Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 455: Return to the Wizard Plane

The war on the Devourer Plane continues, but the warfare on the other continents is not as smooth as on the Buren Continent.

The reason is that the Saint Maragon of Buren Continent has not intervened, only reaching an agreement with the United Legion that as long as they do not conduct large-scale massacres, Maragon will not take action.

However, the situation is different on other continents; there have been Saint-level Awakened ones intervening, and more than one at that.

This has also added considerable trouble for the United Legion on those other continents, making the progression of warfare not so easy.

Currently, the other continents are still mired in war, and once the main forces on the Buren Continent stabilize the situation, they will immediately go over to provide support.

Local resistance on the Buren Continent still exists, and the process of sweeping remaining forces and establishing effective governance is long and tedious, but large-scale, structured warfare has basically ended.

The seventh squadron, where Duke is located, is also about to rotate and rest, returning to the Wizard Plane.

In fact, as long as they wish, they do not need to participate in the war here anymore.

During this period, many young sorcerers have left midway because they could not adapt to the war environment here, and the long duration of the war was also a test for them.

Those who couldn’t endure it all would apply to leave early.

The United Legion generally agrees to these young sorcerers’ requests directly, as the war goes on with or without them, though their assessments might be somewhat lower.

When the news came, most of the young sorcerers from major families in the seventh squadron displayed expressions of relief and expectation.

The long interdimensional battles, even if relatively smooth, left them mentally and physically exhausted, longing to return to the wizarding world and to the protection of their families.

Duke appeared very calm about this, as his experiences on the Devourer Plane, especially obtaining the World Tree Seed, gave him a new yearning for power.

Returning to the Wizard Plane means a safer environment and more abundant knowledge resources, which will benefit his next plans and training.

Before leaving, he was organizing his belongings in a city called Hill Town.

Vivian knocked on his door: "The Teleportation Array is ready; tomorrow morning at the Central Square. I heard it’s a large joint teleportation this time, not only us but a few other teams who have completed their missions will return together."

Duke nodded: "We can finally go back and rest; you’ve worked hard during this time as well."

Vivian smiled: "But the gains are always worth it, much more than what I could learn staying in a lab."

On the battlefield of the plane war, indeed, there wasn’t much time for practice, but the harvest was much more useful practical experience.

Combat itself is also a form of practice, sharpening the sorcerer’s control over magic power and spiritual power, and offering more practical training effects on the application of magic.

These experiences are difficult for others to teach with words; only through personal experience can one truly understand.

It also allows them to understand many theories more deeply after experiencing life-and-death battles, and why many spells are designed the way they are.

The material gains are also abundant; Duke’s greatest gain is naturally the World Tree Seed, something that as of now, no second person knows about.

The underground treasury in Ash City is still under study, and they have not yet reached the bottom floor, with at least three layers remaining unexplored.

However, this is because they are in a state of war and do not have much energy to study that thing.

Once the war ends, the last few layers of the underground treasury will certainly be breached.

But by then, when they enter the last layer, they will only see an empty treasury.

Besides the World Tree Seed, Duke’s greatest find was actually a crystal discovered in a cold pool of the Mountain People.

He hasn’t figured out what the green liquid inside the crystal is, but he has some guesses.

During this time, he has also looked up a lot of information, just not yet daring to confirm it.

The actual situation still requires further research when he returns to the Wizard Plane and is alone. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Throughout this eight-month-long war, Duke also managed to acquire a lot of loot while executing various tasks.

Energy Crystal Stones, magic potion materials, stabilized demonized armors, etc., in total worth at least tens of millions of magic stones.

The so-called stabilized demonized armor refers to some Awakened ones whose awakened abilities do not disappear after death but instead solidify into demonized weapons.

Usually, demonized armor can only be used when the Awakened one is alive, like the Tower Shield of Bal once seen, which fundamentally does not have a physical form and is energy condensed.

As long as Bal withdraws the energy, or if he dies, the Tower Shield naturally disappears.

But sometimes very special situations occur where the demonized armor does not disappear after the Awakened one’s death but instead solidifies into weapons and equipment that can still be used by others.

Many divine weapons on the Devourer Plane were born this way, and even Saint-level demonized armors have been passed down, though Duke’s level certainly does not allow him to access such things.

The demonized armor Duke obtained is a black longsword, reaching Level 2, indicating that it was at least condensed by a Level 2 Awakened one.

The black longsword is extremely sharp, easily slicing through magic metal.

Duke hasn’t studied it closely, just stored it away to look into when he has time.

Because demonized armors contain rules and systems entirely different from the Wizard Plane, their prices are generally high.

A Level 2 Awakened’s demonized armor can sell for at least tens of millions of Level 1 magic stones, and special ones can fetch even more.

Vivian has also not come up short; she and Duke frequently visited the treasuries of those cities and Awakened families, collecting a large number of resources.

With these resources, even without Grace’s support, she could smoothly practice up to a Level 2 Mage.

The next morning, at the Central Square of Hill Town.

A gigantic and complex Teleportation Magic Array had been set up, innumerable runes flickering with a ghostly blue light, and the spatial energy fluctuations slightly distorted the surrounding air.

The area around the array was heavily guarded, with hundreds of wizards about to return standing in an orderly line, including all members of the seventh squadron.

Duke stood in the queue, his gaze calmly sweeping over this city he had helped conquer.

The battered city walls were being repaired by golems, and the streets were mostly filled with the knights and wizards of the Legion, with the natives numbly going about their labors.

He felt little sentiment; survival of the fittest, this is the law of the Endless Plane.

Just like when Earl Hardy said, wolves eat sheep without asking the sheep’s name.
