This Wizard is So Unscientific!

Chapter 56 - 56 56 Steam Core_1

?Chapter 56: Chapter 56 [Steam Core]_1 Chapter 56: Chapter 56 [Steam Core]_1 “Tuck, Tuck, over here…”

Having just arrived below the Undead Tower.

Tuck saw Armanti waving at him with her two Undead Knights in tow.

Clearly, Armanti had also received Professor Aubrey’s orders.

“You’re not giving me even a moment’s rest, are you?”

Rubbing his forehead, Tuck slowed his pace.

The Shadow Ring Staff enabled Tuck’s shadow state to float half a meter above ground, making a long-distance sprint incredibly energy-efficient.

It was just that the consumption of Origin Energy was rather substantial.

However, the Original Dark Sea that Tuck had previously unlocked now became his greatest reliance for using the Shadow Ring Staff for extended periods.

Tuck’s own “Origin Energy” in the Source Pool was already abundant.

“Original Dark Sea,” with the development facilitated by the resources Tuck invested,

even though both were at Level 18.

The reserve of the Original Dark Sea was three times that of Tuck’s own Source Pool.

Meaning, Tuck possessed four times the Origin Energy of a Level 18 Wizard.

The previous series of battles,

had cost Tuck approximately 1.5 times the energy of a basic Source Pool.

Now, roughly 0.5 had been recovered.

With 3 times the energy of a basic Source Pool left, plus Tuck’s astonishing Origin Energy Recovery,

he wasn’t too fearful of the imminent Undercurrent battle.

“Tuck, the others have already gone ahead, let’s hurry over as well!”

Upon saying this, Armanti directly climbed behind an Undead Knight, their robust undead warhorse easily accommodating two riders.

The others that Armanti referred to were the remaining few Undead Wizard apprentices studying under Professor Aubrey.

Tuck glanced at the other Undead Knight.

An unfriendly vibe immediately struck him.

Tuck could feel that these two guys were the resurrected skeletons and Transcendental Characteristics of the two knights he and Taniru had jointly killed.

Daring to mount up, Tuck feared the knight would just fling him off on the spot.

“You… aren’t getting on?”

Armanti curiously inquired.

“No… I’m allergic to horseback riding!”

Tuck replied nonchalantly.

“What?” Armanti paused.

“Allergic to horseback riding?”

Tuck simply waved his hand.

“You lead the way in front, I can keep up!”

With the heart strength of an Elite Demon Wolf,

combined with the now Level 19 Wind Sprint,

and his shadow state already allowing for extremely fast speed, comparable to a small Blood Race member,

Tuck was confident in keeping up with ease.

“Alright then!”

Armanti began to lead the way in front.

“The three of them have already started building the Undead Barrier.”

“Ordinary undead are no issue.”

“The real worry is facing a large number of elites, or even powerful Leader-level Undead.”

“That’s when you’ll need to intervene.”

“No problem!”

Tuck nodded.

…

Deep underground,

in a dark and quiet cave,

“Creak, creak…”

The sound of chains breaking echoed continuously.

A black sheep visibly struggled free from its constraints,

completing the transformation from sheep to human.

It was none other than Taniru.

Tuck, who had mastered the Barrier Ritual before taking action, released Taniru.

After arriving deep in this cave, Taniru had attempted to break free from the Sheep Transformation’s constraint.

After spending several hours, he finally succeeded.

As a “Dark Sun Believer” imbued with the Power of the Dark Sun,

Taniru could feel the disturbances occurring in the Ramore Tower City-State.

He was well aware that being caught by either the Ramore authorities or the Dark Sun Church meant almost certain death.

Therefore, without hesitation, Taniru decisively fled in a direction away from Ramore Tower.

But soon,

Taniru made his way back.

His return was even more resolute and quicker than his departure.

Regret? Out of the question.

At this moment, behind Taniru was a horde of Demonized Black Mice, their size comparable to adult housecats, with blood-red eyes, savage fur, and full of madness and bloodlust.

Taniru was very clear.

Being caught by these crazed, bloodthirsty Demonized Black Mice, leaving even a single intact bone would be nothing short of a divine blessing.

“These damn rats, how did they get so big.”

While cursing, Tuck pressed on harder with all his might as he fled towards the location of the Undead Tower.

…

Deep in the underground tunnel.

Steadily following behind Armanti and the Undead Knight.

Tuck moved forward, examining the loot he had acquired this time.

“A Second Rank Earth Runes Staff, stronger than my Shadow Rune, worth at least several hundred Magic Gold, maybe even a thousand if more.”

“Using this Earth Runes Staff to initiate the Barrier Ritual witchcraft, is simply perfect.”

“The Defense plating that comes with the Earth Runes is quite impressive, it just… conflicts slightly with my Shadow Robe, but it’s not a big problem.”

“If there were an alchemist versed in Runes to solve this issue, it would be perfect.”

“Next are the astonishing number of life potions, Origin Power Potions, all high-quality goods, which can sell for hundreds of Magic Gold.”

“Tsk tsk… truly befitting a member of a Wizard Family, the wealth is staggering.”

“The other various incidental materials all have some degree of Dark Sun contamination.”

“That guy himself is a Dark Sun Believer, which makes it easier to assimilate, but for me, it’s quite troublesome.”

“If there were an alchemist, that would be even better.”

“There are still quite a few alchemists within the tower, I can visit them when I have time.”

Thinking of alchemists, Tuck couldn’t help but fiddle with his fingers slightly.

“Alchemy relies on the Precision control and grasp of materials.”

“Moreover, I’ve almost completely assimilated the alchemy books from Eden Glaston.”

“I can count as half an Alchemy Apprentice on a theoretical level, I don’t have the alchemy sequence, but I can possess the Steam Sequence, combined with the SSS Level [Precision Correction].”

“Even if I can’t become a powerful alchemist.”

“Being able to normally repair Transcendent equipment and materials is enough.”

After surveying all the materials.

Tuck focused his mind.

He looked at the most important gain—[Steam Core]!

In the near-solid Origin Energy Steam, an object about the size of two fists with a faint silver-grey metallic sheen was sealed within.

Its surface was very irregular, but each line and texture had a wonderful rhythm.

In several deeper parts, one could clearly see complete Rune markings.

Meaning, the powerful Rune Power was just one component of this item.

With a mere glance, Tuck felt an extremely dense and substantial texture rush towards him.

Beyond that, those dense patterns were highly regular and filled with strong “Steam Sequence” characteristics.

Tuck had never seen such a high density of sequence patterns on a single object before.

Tuck couldn’t help but reflect.

This was the indescribable, peculiar product of the Steam Roaring Era—[Steam Core]!

With steel and rails as the blood vessels of life.

With the burning of Origin Energy Steam as the source of life.

The roaring steam mechanical factories, the rising steam furnace, were its organs.

Passengers within the steam train were its believers.

The goods transported were its offerings.

The prosperity and wealth brought about by the arrival of the steam train station were its faith.

Centuries of accumulation throughout the era.

Eventually, in the transcendent steam era, humanity’s greatest miracle was born—”Spirit of Steam and Rails” and its crystallized product [Steam Core].

With the Steam Core in hand, Tuck now had the qualifications to ascend to a powerful [Steam Wizard].

Just as Tuck was about to use more words to praise the Steam Core.

A disharmonic sound appeared.

At the merging spot of a small side path ahead, a silhouette emerged.

It was actually “Taniru,” whom Tuck had already told to leave.

Not only had the man run back, but he had also encountered the two of them.

It had to be said, this guy’s luck was out of the ordinary!

When Taniru saw Armanti and her Undead Knight, he felt elated.

Instinctively, he glanced back.

Then, the smile froze on his face.

“Oh, damn it!”

Taniru cursed under his breath.

“Since you’re back, you might as well join the defense line.”

“After all… the fact that the Dual sequence genius from Ramore Tower City-State took down an A Grade genius from the Evil God Organization will soon be known to everyone.”

Tuck said to Taniru with a long and enduring breath.

“What?”

Taniru was shocked—had he really killed the A Grade genius from the Evil God Organization?

Then came anger—how dare he frame me?

Finally fear—if he could take down a genius protected by the Evil God Organization, what if he wanted to get rid of me?

All the resentment and hatred welled up to his mouth, but Taniru could only swallow it down.

“This damned demon!”

Onward and ahead.

Suddenly, Tuck felt something and looked back.

He could naturally detect the presence of a large number of Black Mice.

And among the Black Mice swarm, there seemed to be a special existence hidden.
