Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 222 - 6 Imperial Guard Dragon Warrior
Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors, elite troops within the Fire Lizard army, were all Fire Lizard Nobles who had grown Dragon Horns. Thanks to the awakening of their Bloodline, each had reached the Second Level. Setting aside their Bloodlin, their Combat Skills also stood out among the Fire Lizard Warriors; each was a formidable character who could take on ten of their own rank.
The exceptionally stringent selection criteria gave these Fire Lizards combat capabilities comparable to those of veteran wizards.
And now, ten of these elite troops had appeared simultaneously.
Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors moved fiercely and swiftly, their faces behind Gold masks resembling specters.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz…
Scimitars fell like rain, the Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors' strikes were relentless. Their coordination was seamless; the continuous slashing waves momentarily rendered a small unit of Second Ring Wizards immobile.
At that moment, the few One Ring Wizards became the squad's weak points.
Bang! Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the remaining Two One Ring Wizards were breached through their Magic Barriers, one wizard got his arm chopped off, another had his stomach slashed open.
"Cast together, Shield!"
The White Wizard Captain issued commands through the mental network; the White Wizard squad's formation changed instantly, protecting the few One Ring Wizards at the center. The Magic Barriers among the Second Ring Wizards also merged instantly into a more solid Magic Barrier.
The crisis was slightly mitigated.
"Not bad,"
The largest of the Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors said quietly.
Then, the group of Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors stopped their attack and instantly disappeared into the buildings around. Once inside the buildings, these Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors seemed to become invisible; the wizards' spiritual power could detect nothing.
"Spiritual camouflage, Second Level elite strength, closely coordinated existence."
The captain summarized the information about the group of Fire Lizards, his face turning ashen.
These Fire Lizards' individual strength required him to struggle to win even against one; facing two would leave him with only the strategy of running.
And now, there were ten such Fire Lizards targeting them.
A trace of despair flitted through the White Wizard Captain's heart.
At the same time, Richard was exchanging Spiritual Messages with Ulysses.
"These Fire Lizards can evade spiritual detection, the myriad world really is full of wonders," Richard exclaimed.
"Gah, that's nothing, there are many creatures that can fool spiritual power. I once saw a strange creature that could only be observed visually. Moreover, the moment you looked away from it, you immediately forgot about it.
Only beings at the level of World Master are immune to its influence, many of my crow grandchildren died because of these creatures."
"How did you guys eventually win?" Richard asked curiously.
"Gah, I paid a hefty price for that old witch skilled in Curses, had her curse the group so that if they weren't seen, they couldn't act. These creatures weren't strong in combat and couldn't face us directly.
Later, I remember, this batch of creatures was entirely consumed by me, tasted pretty good too."
"…let's focus on solving the current issue."
Richard patted the White Wizard Captain, wanting to say something.
But when the captain turned around, his face was filled with rage.
"What are you doing? You scoundrel!"
"…why start cursing right away?" Richard's face grew sour.
The captain glared furiously; what was this second generation of the Wizard Family trying to do, didn't he see that they were surrounded by Fire Lizards?
"What are you trying to do?" the captain asked, suppressing his anger.
He knew the Fire Lizards were probably watching them, and if they discovered internal conflicts among them, they were truly doomed.
Their only chance of survival now was to maintain a unified Magic Shield, convincing these Fire Lizards they were solid and then having them leave on their own.
"These Fire Lizards are quite valuable, I want to collect a specimen," Richard said calmly.
"Collect a specimen!" The captain almost laughed in frustration
Is this the time to collect specimens, can't you see those three One Ring Wizards who were almost killed by a single strike?
"Yes, just move aside," Richard said somewhat helplessly, "You're squeezing me into the middle, and I can't wield my skills properly."
At this, a few Second Ring Wizards also cast looks towards Richard.
What boldness.
Was he implying they were a burden?
"Wield your skills properly! Fine!"
The captain, burning with rage yet laughing, roared out commands through the mental network.
"Let this fool go, I'll explain it to Master Vladimir later!"
A few wizards shifted slightly, consequently creating a gap in the Magic Barrier.
This was also why Richard had greeted the captain.
A unified Magic Shield was like a barrier; to get out, there were only two options, either to walk out through an exit or to break the barrier.
The Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors inside the building, witnessing this scene, were somewhat perplexed.
"What is that wizard doing, stepping out of the barrier?"
"I don't know, but I caught the pheromone scent of that strongest wizard. It's quite intense, probably an internal conflict."
"Internal conflict, this could be interesting. Get ready to move, let's deal with this one who stepped out first."
...
Step by step, Richard walked toward the surrounding buildings, holding his Magic Wand casually.
Suddenly, two dark shadows burst from a building, attacking Richard from both left and right.
"Ulysses, leave the right one to me, don't let these White Wizards think I'm just a man who hides behind his Magic Pet."
"Gah, aren't you?" chuckled Ulysses.
Ulysses sneered as he flew toward the left-side Dragon Warrior of the Imperial Guard, a pitch-black Crow Claw flashing out like lightning.
On the right side, Richard did not dodge or avoid, not even releasing a Magic Barrier, allowing the Dragon Warrior's Scimitar to chop towards his body.
Sizzle...
A series of sparks burst from the Armor as the Scimitar struck it.
Richard smiled at the Dragon Warrior, "A Scimitar can't break the Armor."
Then, he threw a punch.
Boom!
The Dragon Warrior stared dumbly at his slightly dented chest before falling backward.
With the Dragon Power Gland and Mountain Breaking Fist, this punch had reached a terrifying energy level of fourteen hundred.
Meanwhile, Ulysses's black Crow Claw was grasping the head of another Imperial Guard Dragon Warrior, along with half a spinal column.
Silence.

Both the White Wizards and the Fire Lizards were plunged into silence.
But in the next moment, both sides reacted.
"Kill that wizard!"
"Spells, cover the consultant!"
Spells roared next to Richard's ears, the White Wizards' spells momentarily delaying the Dragon Warrior's attack.
Richard laughed heartily as he stretched and twisted his body in one fluid motion.
Bang!
Another Dragon Warrior fell backward.
Three Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors seized the moment when Richard's old strength was exhausted and new strength had yet to arise, attacking from the left, right, and back. Their Scimitars, like moonlight sprinkled but carrying the brilliance of the sun.
As the Scimitars swung, they actually melted and deformed, turning into a bone spatula by the time they neared Richard's body.
Swoosh!
The bone spatula missed.
Richard's figure suddenly disappeared.
The nearby Dragon Warrior saw clearly as Richard instantaneously appeared beside a house on the street.
"Ulysses, finish them off."
"Ga, finally tired of playing."
Ulysses sneered, his body flashing black lightning as he swept over the heads of several Dragon Warriors.
By the time he returned to Richard's side, the skulls of four Dragon Warriors who had attacked were completely lifted off. The three Dragon Warriors who hadn't managed to attack, upon seeing this, immediately fled far away using the buildings as cover.
"It's a pity, three got away."
Looking at the fleeing three Imperial Guard Dragon Warriors, Richard felt a bit regretful but did not order Ulysses to continue the pursuit.
"But these few are enough."
After saying this, Richard turned to look at the squad of White Wizards, spreading his hands helplessly:
"See, I told you I didn't need protection.
Why didn't you believe me?"
...
"I truly am shortsighted; I failed to see the full strength of Lord Consultant earlier. I have offended you before and hope for your forgiveness," said the Wizard Captain of the White Wizards, respectfully performing a Wizard's Salute with his head bowed and his expression humble.
Who would have thought that this three-hundred-year-old Second Ring Wizard would have such formidable combat prowess, seeming even stronger than his Magic Pet?
Richard waved his hand indifferently; he wasn't one to hold grudges, especially over such a small matter.
"It's nothing serious, let's continue moving forward, Captain."
The White Wizard Captain raised his head, inwardly relieved. Normally, wizards from wizard families were petty people.
Unexpectedly, he had encountered a generous one this time.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, your family seems to have gained another impressive figure," the White Wizard Captain remarked.
Richard frowned slightly, "What are you talking about with families? I told you, I don't belong to any family. You should have seen me by now; I've been repairing Magic Stone Cannons with Master Vladimir, haven't I repaired any for you?"
"You really are Master Richard!" exclaimed a One Ring Wizard receiving treatment, "I knew I remembered right."
For wizards who had undergone spiritual evolution, so long as their bodies still functioned, wounds were not severe. The injuries the Dragon Warrior had inflicted looked frightening but were in fact easily healable.
Richard shrugged; it seemed his work as a battlefield repairman was still remembered.
The White Wizard Captain's face turned red, experience sometimes misled judgment.
"Ah, I have offended again."
As he spoke, the White Wizard Captain pulled a Black Gold Scimitar from his pocket. The beautifully crafted Scimitar was covered with patterns like ancient tree branches—a clearly top-grade among Scimitars.
The White Wizard Captain handed the Scimitar to Richard with a stiff smile, "Please do accept this; my mind is really too muddled."
Having offended Richard twice in a row, even a clay sculpture would have a spark of anger. If Richard left the battlefield in a huff, their small team would be in danger.
Richard had not been tasked with attacking the city.
The White Wizard Captain's forehead broke out in sweat as he quietly awaited Richard's response.
Richard looked at his stiff smile, understood his thoughts, and then generously accepted the Scimitar:
"Since the Captain is willing to part with it, then I'll accept it."
The Captain breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your generosity."
With that, he began to reorganize the formation, preparing to continue clearing the city.
