The Wizard: Starting with the Omniscient Cube

Chapter 107 A Moment of Life and Death, First-Ring Witchcraft

When Lin Wei first arrived in the wizarding world, the battle between the Great Squid and the first-ring wizard Randolph was still vivid in his mind. Sometimes he could even dream about it with his eyes closed, and a look of fear would appear on his face.

The sea returned to normal, except for a small boat speeding back at full speed, its stern splashing white spray.

"Faster, faster!" Lin Wei suddenly felt a strange unease, his brow twitched, and he had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "My advanced perception is working? But what good is it?"

As Lin Wei steered the ship, his scalp tingled, and his knuckles turned white from the force he exerted.

He looked back and saw a dark shadow, more than ten meters long, suddenly appearing beneath the azure sea behind him, chasing after his small boat at a speed visible to the naked eye. The shadow was faintly visible in the water.

"Damn it, the giant squid has locked onto me. It won't be long before it catches up with me."

Lin Wei felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately activated the Silver Lion Breathing Technique and also used the Grizzly Bear Armor, causing his fur to stand on end. However, this did little to ease the discomfort between Lin Wei's eyebrows.

"We can only prepare for the worst. If all else fails, we'll use the Blue Marlin Breathing Technique to transform into a Blue Marlin and see if we can evade the lock-on."

Lin Wei felt an urge to jump off the boat; he leaned forward slightly, his feet already poised to leap.

"However, if we are still locked in, we won't survive in the ocean."

The giant squid arrived faster than he expected. A short while later, a tentacle more than three meters thick suddenly emerged from the seabed and slammed towards Lin Wei's helmsman position. The tentacle carried a powerful force that distorted the surrounding air.

"Hey!"

Knowing he couldn't dodge, Lin Wei mustered all his strength, his lion-like fangs erupted, and he slammed his claws against the tentacles, stomping his feet hard on the ship's deck with a loud "bang."

boom!

An unprecedented force struck Lin Wei, who felt dizzy and was slammed from the center of the small boat to the bow, several meters away. He nearly fell into the sea and his body crashed heavily onto the bow.

"puff!"

A sweet taste rose in Lin Wei's throat, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto the deck. Before he could even look up, several tentacles appeared above his head and continued to lash out, waving in the air.

The giant squid seemed quite interested in the fact that Lin Wei could withstand one of its attacks.

"Damn it, we're doomed."

Lin Wei didn't even have time to switch his breathing techniques. He stared intently at the tentacles so close to him, his eyes filled with despair. Many familiar faces flashed before his eyes: his friends from his previous life on Blue Star, Celia from the human continent, the Nightingale Knight, the Maple Leaf Prince, the Carp Knight, and the Dune Knight and his senior sister Doraemon from the wizarding world.

"Is this what it looks like before I die?" Lin Wei asked, his teeth grinding together in frustration. Using his trump card, the Little Water Arrow, was now futile.

……

Just as Lin Wei was about to be smashed to pieces, a familiar voice appeared in his ear.

"Huh? You're Lin Wei? Little guy, I recognize you."

The voice of Tower Master Robert appeared in Lin Wei's ears; the appearance of a second-circle wizard was like heavenly music.

He was riding on an exquisitely carved wooden horse, which floated leisurely beside Lin Wei. Above Lin Wei's head, a wooden umbrella appeared, emitting a faint light and steadily holding down the tentacles above Lin Wei's head.

"I'm not dead?"

Lin Wei's eyes widened suddenly, his hands frantically searching his body, his face full of disbelief, and his voice trembling slightly.

"The Tower Master?"

Lin Wei looked up at the person in front of him again. After confirming that it was him, he was overjoyed. Having just walked through the gates of hell, everything seemed unreal. He was in a daze and his body trembled slightly.

"You're not dead? How come you came out all by yourself? I just heard Dora talking about you. She said you haven't gone back yet." Tower Master Robert said with a smile, his face amiable, his hands behind his back.

"It's so carefree and easy to be alone, and you can catch sea creatures quickly." Lin Wei knew he wasn't going to die, so he relaxed his tense body, smiled slightly, and even joked, putting on a relaxed appearance.

"Looks like you've broken through? Your knight strength is much stronger than I imagined; you actually withstood an attack from this little squid." Tower Master Robert continued, looking Lin Wei up and down with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Luckily, I'm now a second-class wizard apprentice. Tower Master, let's get rid of this squid first," Lin Wei said dejectedly, scratching his head with an embarrassed look on his face.

The giant squid, which he could not resist at all, was called a little squid in front of a formal wizard. This made Lin Wei's mind very complicated, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Lin Wei clenched his fist, thinking to himself, "I am still too weak." His knuckles turned white from the force of his grip.

"Um."

Robert raised his arms, the blocks shimmering faintly, and pointed to the giant squid beneath the boat, saying calmly, "First-level sorcery, the mortise and tenon array is beginning to appear."

The giant squid was on high alert, its body twisting violently in the seawater, attempting to escape.

But then blocks appeared all around it, emanating a mysterious power that locked it firmly beneath the ship, preventing it from moving no matter how its tentacles thrashed about.

The tentacles slapped the seawater, creating huge waves and splashing water, but it was all in vain.

"Assemble it," Tower Master Robert continued, his eyes focused.

The building blocks began to press against each other, making a "crunching" sound, while the giant squid's tentacles flapped wildly, emitting a shrill scream underwater.

This was the first time Lin Wei had ever heard a squid's cry, and it made his heart tremble, causing him to involuntarily shrink back.

Less than half a minute later, the shouts coming from below the boat grew fainter and fainter, and Robert sucked a small gray bead into his hand with a very smooth motion.

As if it were an easy task, Robert jumped off the rocking horse, landed on the deck, stood firmly on his feet, and flicked out a magic thread with both hands, pulling the small boat swiftly towards the Turing Tower. The magic thread shimmered with multicolored light.

"Alright, let's go back." Robert smiled kindly, a relaxed expression on his face.

"Okay, okay."

Lin Wei finally snapped out of his daze, his mouth agape, his eyes wide with shock.

"Tower Master, your witchcraft is too powerful. Thank you for saving my life, Tower Master," Lin Wei said sincerely, clasping his hands in a fist and bowing slightly.

"Haha, you're lucky, kid. I just got back from Thousand Machine City. This is my self-created witchcraft. I learned about it from an ancient book in a broken plane called Huaxia. It's related to building blocks and was written by a man named Lu Ban. It inspired me." Tower Master Robert paused, a look of reminiscence on his face.

P.S.: The next chapter will be a little late. Starting today, I'll resume at least two updates a day. I've been too busy lately, sorry! qwq
