Morster paused:
“Surrender now. Your death magic might be powerful, but if you have a slight understanding, you would know that the Metal Series Wizards of Hotams are amongst the mightiest wizard forces. Unless you are a professor level wizard from the Death Series, don’t bother thinking you can escape from me.”
“I have heard of the renown of that you Metal Wizards possess,” Noland Lee had already learned about the strength of the Metal Wizards from Denise Green in advance.
The wizards of this faction would arm themselves with various types of magic metal.
The Metal Memory Device and Identify Metal Pupils that Morster mentioned, as well as the metal shell on his skin, the Metal Magic Wand in his hand, and so on, are all products of Metal Magic.
This is a wizard faction that highly integrates magic metal with a wizard’s thinking.
Their offensive techniques are not as simple as launching a few metal spikes.
Hotams Metal System Wizards are synonymous with combat wizards. Each of them is a professional combatant capable of challenging ranks one to three levels higher.
Though Esme Smith possesses a strength of sixth rank, she specializes in scientific research at sea. As a Three-circled Metal Wizard, Morster only needs half a minute to kill Esme Smith.
That’s correct, for a Three-circled Metal Wizard to challenge and kill a sixth-rank scientific research-oriented Alchemist, it only requires half a minute.
The combat alchemists on the alchemy ship, like the Fifth-Order Golden Merchant, Derek Davis, could compete with Morster by relying on their sturdy Alchemy Weaponry.
The power to challenge a fifth-order combat alchemist with the strength of Three Circles; this is the terror of wizard forces that live for combat.
The Tomb King, Night Spirit Cult, and Revivalists Cult Noland Lee encountered before are not combat-oriented; they each have their own areas of expertise.
Elemental Judgement, bearing the title of “Judgement”, is a wizard force involved in combat. However, its fighting ability is far lesser than that of the Metal Branch of Hotams.
If one were to rank based only on combat strength, Hotams Metal Branch would be in the top ten, while Elemental Judgement would be around rank thirty.
After Noland Lee learned about the Metal Branch in detail from Denise Green, he drew a conclusion:
This is not a world where combat power is classified by the extraordinary level.
The so-called “combat field” is only one of the areas of expertise that the Extraordinary can choose.
A sixth-rank extraordinary may not necessarily be stronger than a third-rank. It really depends on the areas of expertise of both parties.
Only when it comes to Extraordinaries within the same field can one use the levels to measure their strengths within that realm.
A Three-circled Metal Wizard is stronger than a sixth-rank non-combat field Alchemist; this is the truth in this world.
When Noland Lee was recognized by Morster due to his tone of voice, he knew he had to switch to his backup plan.
Giving consideration to the fact that Morster had the backing of Hotams, the oldest wizard force, killing him is not the preferred choice, as it would cause endless troubles.
In contrast, it might be better to defeat him in a duel and conquer both his body and heart.
Noland Lee lifted his right hand, palm curving upwards, and made the universally provoking gesture:
“Give it all, Morster. Prove your strength. Defeat me first, and then bluster before me.”
Many metal spikes appeared on Morster’s metal skin, he gritted his teeth and said:
“Are you sure you want to make enemies with the Hotams Academy and Tatis? I’m giving you one more chance.”
Noland Lee waved his hand nonchalantly in reply:
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m not against you, your backing wizard forces, or Tatis. I am only attempting to reshape the entire world in accordance with my ideas.”
These weren’t Noland’s words. After deconstructing Morster and obtaining his important memory fragments, Noland Lee had found these words in a memory fragment named “Father’s Declaration”.
He invoked these words to coincide with the image he was about to build in Morster’s heart.
These words indeed struck Morster as shocking once Noland uttered them.
“Reshape… the world…” Morster was stunned, unable to distinguish whether the person before him was boasting or truly possessed such ambitions and confidence.
“How preposterous. You dare to utter words like reshaping the world. In my eyes, only my father has the right to claim he will reshape the world. He has made such a promise to me… Do you, a criminal illegal wizard, think you’re worthy to say such words?”
Emotions ran high in Morster’s voice. Apparently, Noland Lee speaking the same words as the Emperor had greatly annoyed him:
“Enough! I don’t want to hear your explanations anymore. If you have no intention to surrender, the Ulnas Circle duel rules will enfource a life and death duel.”
Noland Lee nodded slightly, drawing his magic wand:
“Come on, give it your all, Morster. I had heard how terrifying your Metal Wizards’ Bullet Magic is, allow me to get a glimpse of this magic.”
“This is what you asked for…” Morster revealed his body, completely covered in silver metal, from under his cloak.
A ripple quickly appeared on the silver metal, densely packed together.
In less than about five seconds, regular stripes appeared on his smooth and wrinkle-free metal skin.
“Impressive ‘Active Magical Metal Armor’. You’ve adjusted the armor parameters to reflect 90% of death energy, right?” Noland Lee admired Morster’s combat stance and responded slowly.
