I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 162 - 162 154 Cant see anything anymore~

?Chapter 162: 154 Can’t see anything anymore~ Chapter 162: 154 Can’t see anything anymore~ Chen Xinmi was clearly more reliable than Chen Shuyun, for as spells after spells fluctuated, a series of enhancing witchcraft was bestowed upon Lin An.

She continued to bless him while explaining.

First, a chill as icy as if he’d suddenly been startled out of exhaustion struck him, and Lin An instantaneously felt as if his whole being couldn’t be more alert, his mind extremely sharp.

“Predatory Instinct Witchcraft!”

“This is one of the commonly used spells by the School of Metamorphosis wizards, meant to balance the wild instincts between their own human spirit and animal bodies, allowing oneself to possess both the hunting instincts of a beast and the wise judgment of a wizard.”

Following that, a warm heat seeped out from his bones, as if he were soaked in hot water, and his body was suddenly filled with an indescribable sense of power.

“Wild Resurgence Witchcraft!”

“Also a frequently used spell by the School of Metamorphosis, it harmonizes the fit between human and beast, enabling the wizard to better unearth the strength of the beastly body.”

Seven spells in succession.

Each spell was designed to balance the relationship between the wizard and the beast’s body.

The amplifying effect wasn’t particularly strong, but it made Lin An feel as if he held absolute control over the beast’s body, as if he could truly use it perfectly.

No, it should be the perfect overlay of a human wizard’s skill atop a beastly form.

This addition was exceptionally explosive in its effect.

Lin An’s surroundings twisted, and his optimized vortex vision seemed to merge with the spatial traversal inherent in the body of the Zou Yu monster.

With every step, he walked within a vortex, every move filled with endless possibilities.

It was as if a creature like Zou Yu had acquired magical abilities; the same techniques yielded vastly different results.

In a flash, Lin An felt as if he was truly using that body.

Coach!

I want to learn this!

Lin An marveled at his body’s transformation, darting like a cheetah among the Witch-hunting Knights and in an instant pouncing on the big grey wolf bearing the pine tree.

Instinctively swinging his beastly paw, his sharp claws lashed out, thrusting forcefully between the gap above the front leg at the upper part of the shoulder blade and shoulder of the grey wolf, tugging fiercely at its tendons and bones.

It might look like a simple leap and grab.

But it almost employed all of Lin An’s abilities: the beast’s instincts, the understanding of beastly structures through Spiritual Mapping, the Sky Drifter Eyes’ omnidirectional observation, the weak prescience from Ugly Head, the grand encompassing moves of Kitty Punch, the smooth force circulation from Thirteen Roping Skills, the application of Skinning Knife Skill on his claws…

So naturally summoning all the abilities he could muster, so harmoniously managing the effects each ability produced.

Lin An was like a ghost of the hunt, instantly moving from afar to close, his form flickering, bypassing the Witch-hunting Knights, and swooping up from below to the side of the big grey wolf.

One claw sharply pierced into the grey wolf’s shoulder blade, tearing and supporting his own weight, another claw swiping at the main artery in the grey wolf’s neck, the two stout and powerful hind legs kicking fiercely at the grey wolf’s vulnerable belly, waist, and groin.

Then, opening a maw filled with fangs, he tore into the flesh of the grey wolf’s neck.

The teeth bearing the Skinning Knife Skill immediately tore a huge wound in the grey wolf’s neck.

And all of this, happened in just an instant.

But the prey before him was not just any ordinary grey wolf, it was a Witch Ghoul, being drenched in the Aura from the Spirit World.

As the main artery was bitten through and torn apart, the grey wolf gave a harrowing howl and struggled, its spirit weakening.

The Aura of the Spirit World instantly leveraged a dominant other part of its soul, its body beginning to petrify as countless air roots of a banyan tree started sprouting from its body.

And the reaction of the Antler Witch Hunter Knights was extremely quick.

The effect of Doctor Zhang’s daughter’s detection bell was outstanding; the instant Lin An appeared, she noticed him and cried out, “Attack!”

Three Antler Witch Hunter Knights immediately took up a defensive posture, and as Lin An weaved through to attack the big grey wolf, they all converged on Lin An and the grey wolf in unison.

They had enough tacit understanding and hunting experience not to contemplate the relationship between the big grey wolf and the Zou Yu that Lin An became; all they needed to know was that these wizards were their hunting targets.

Changing from one party in a two-sided battle to a third party, they had ample opportunity to find a way to tilt the odds, ensuring the two sides were evenly matched, ultimately seeking the chance to kill both.

But…

This cursed Oil Painting Vortex Vision caused them extreme trouble!

They couldn’t see anything at all~
It was such a pain!

His claws, rhythmically infused with the Skinning Knife Skill, provided excellent grip as they dug forcefully into the great grey wolf’s flesh. Lin An crawled onto the side of the wolf as if on flat ground, making his way into the underbelly of the beast.

The size of this Grey Wolf Witch Ghoul was simply too immense.

If Lin An’s size was close to that of an SUV, the grey wolf was like a container truck.

Chen Xinmi, who had been riding on his back, had changed her attire at some point; she was now dressed in a large hooded wizard robe with a ghastly mask covering her face.

She had evidently cast Concealment Witchcraft on herself, not only did her body color resemble the black and white patterns of a snow leopard akin to Lin An’s beastly form, but she also used ‘Attention Drawing’ witchcraft, making it easier for others to notice Lin An than herself.

At this moment, she sat cross-legged on Lin An’s back, hanging upside down yet showing no signs of falling.

Even the wizard robe naturally fell towards her feet, showing no respect for gravity.

One hand gently rested on the warm, fluffy muscles of the beast’s back underneath her, maintaining a complex combination of seven nested witchcraft for Lin An while the other hand held a cigarette, eyes squinting as she pondered…
She thought about attacking the Grey Wolf Witch Ghoul, to peel away its heart.

She thought about withstanding the powerful attacks of the three Antler Witch Hunter Knights, even guiding their assaults to aid her in peeling the heart.

But…
She could not do anything!

“What kind of witchcraft is this?” She muttered incredulously, initially assuming it was just ordinary visual disorientation witchcraft. The ‘Rabbit Mask’ Male Witch learned it and became “Dizzy”; Lin An, this self-proclaimed painter, learned it and it became ‘Oil Painting Vortex Vision’.

But this was not any ordinary visual disorientation witchcraft!

She had plenty of ways to cope with visual chaos. After all, humans have six senses, and witchcraft is myriad. Since when were they forced to rely solely on their eyes to perceive everything?

But no matter which witchcraft she deployed, it was useless!

Everything in front of her remained a terrifying Oil Painting Vortex, three-dimensional, layer upon layer, chaotically spinning.

And the colors were so intense they made her want to vomit!

No wonder!

She finally understood why Lin An had been able to escape from the encirclement of so many Witch-hunting Knights; she herself lacked such confidence.

Good heavens, if this move were used against her, she might not be completely powerless, but she would probably only be able to watch as Lin An swaggered away right in front of her.

This was witchcraft that affected the soul!

Meaning, it wasn’t just an image you couldn’t see by closing your eyes.

This was a distortion of the entire world, forcibly placed before one’s own soul, coercing one to look, with no option not to!

But how could this be possible?

Even if Lin An had passed the ‘Emotional Fluctuation Period’ with extraordinary talent so quickly, how could the witchcraft he learned have effects on the soul level?

Was this scientific?

Was this reasonable?

Chen Xinmi had once mocked her own sister, who was blushing while clinging to Lin An’s back, looking as though she was intoxicated, for only ending up with an unreliable ‘Mountains and Seas Transformation Skill’ and not doing anything else.

Her sister hummed a few times, full of shame, and said nothing in response.

Now, Chen Xinmi finally understood her sister.

She was confused, too.

What could she do about it?

Huh?

Lin An was simply outrageous; he grasped a bit of wizard instinct for guiding Spiritual Energy, was able to paint a portrait of a black cat with his soul’s essence, learned a bit of Soft Body Skill, which allowed his body to instinctively perform metamorphosis under the guidance of Spiritual Energy, learned a bit of the Knights’ ‘Tanning Skill’ and yet it could affect the balance of his own soul…
This guy didn’t know much, but everything he did master became so strong, touching the soul…
This was just too envy-inducing.

Was Chen Shuyun ever this formidable?

Chen Xinmi didn’t know; as a diligent child, she never understood what it was like to be the ‘child from another family’ who seemed to have cheats enabled.
