Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience - Chapter 419 - 20: Rune Altar

Chapter 419: Chapter 20: Rune Altar

The experiment went smoothly, and after several attempts that felt like trials, Lynch quickly completed his creation.

This is a device that combines magic with alchemy and Sacrificial Science, wrapping Extraordinary Power through Rune Studies, and then using the altar to transfer it to the knight, thereby engraving the rune on the knight and endowing the knight with extraordinary power.

The core idea comes from the [Rune Power] that was stolen from the Wizard Family in the Ancient Ruins; Lynch had studied this Mystical Technique to the MAX stage long ago, and was thoroughly familiar with its knowledge network.

He made some minor modifications to it and combined it with his own alchemy knowledge to complete the spell he desired.

With this spell, Lynch could engrave spells representing different meanings in the form of runes onto the knights. For example, if a Flame Rune is engraved onto a knight, the knight could then possess the power of flame.

Doesn’t that make them no different from Wizards?

In a sense, they are somewhat similar, but the differences are significant.

This extraordinary power, forcibly obtained through rune engraving, is fixed and does not possess the ability to rewrite, unlike Wizard Power, which completely comes from one’s own knowledge.

Additionally, Wizards cast spells through spiritual power, while for knights with the engraved runes, the medium for driving supernatural power is Fighting Spirit.

In fact, this is a transformation formula Lynch discovered through continuous experimentation, where rune engravings can convert Fighting Spirit into something similar to spiritual power, thereby driving the extraordinary power of the runes.

In any case, after completing this altar, the first step in Lynch’s creation of the Extraordinary Army was taken.

…

More than a month later, in Feiyan City.

At noon, on the east side of the square in Feiyan City, a large crowd gathered, all with puzzled expressions, looking at a strange building on the side of the square.

This was a building constructed with large stone slabs, resembling an altar.

The sudden appearance of such a strange building in the city was enough to pique curiosity, but what attracted even more attention was the source of this building—

Guardians!

Not long ago, the Adventurer Guild suddenly issued an announcement that the Guardians would join forces with Wizards and the Light Priests of the Church to bestow adventurers with extraordinary power.

Extraordinary power? Did I hear that right?

The announcement stunned all the adventurers.

Everyone knew that extraordinary power was exclusive to Transcendents, requiring an innate Constitution capable of becoming a Transcendent.

It was something determined at birth, something that could not be changed no matter how hard one tried later.

Adventurers, no matter how strong, whether Knights, High-level Knights, or even Great Knights, ultimately only enhanced their physical qualities; they could never achieve the ability to summon the wind and call the rain like Wizards.

However, the Guardians now said they would bestow even ordinary adventurers with extraordinary power. This… sounded unbelievable.

“Is it true? Can you really obtain extraordinary power through this thing?”

“This… is just an altar, right? I don’t see anything special about it…”

“Extraordinary power… is it the same extraordinary power as Wizards? If so, does that mean we could become Wizards too?”

The people gathered around the altar looked puzzled.

“The Saintess has arrived, the Holy Daughter of Light has arrived!”

“Archbishop Saul has also arrived.”

At this moment, the people’s gaze turned in one direction.

There, Alya, veiled in a white Priest Robe, was walking slowly in their direction, accompanied by Saul in a red robe.

The responsibility for hosting the first extraordinary ceremony was entrusted to Alya by Lynch. As the spokesperson of the Church, she had a relatively high reputation in the city, making her the ideal choice to orchestrate something with a sense of ceremony.

“Make way!”

Hasrant’s authoritative voice echoed, and the crowd immediately parted to form a path.

Alya made her way to the altar.

At the altar stood several cloaked individuals, who were apprentices from the Wizard Tower.

“Your Eminence, Saintess.”

Alya nodded slightly, then without delay, moved directly to the point: “Let the first adventurer to complete the job transition come up, and let’s begin.”

“Yes!”

A Wizard Apprentice nodded and then called out to the crowd: “Schneider!”

“Here!”

A diminutive adventurer stepped forward, clad in lightweight cloth armor with a dagger at his waist, moving with stealthy steps, clearly a Thief.

After completing the job transition altar, Lynch instructed that a notice be posted outward announcing the selection of ten adventurers as the first batch to receive extraordinary power, with all adventurers who reached the level of Knight eligible to apply, from which participants would be randomly selected.

This Thief, Schneider, was one of the ten fortunate individuals chosen, ranking first.

“Schneider has gone up!”

“Is it really true, can they really bestow extraordinary power?”

“Will he turn into a monster?”

As of now, not many adventurers have submitted applications to the Adventurer Guild, as there remains a lack of trust in the altar.

Even Schneider, now stepping forward, was filled with doubt. His initial reason for applying was the reward of points for the first applicants, which he needed to advance his adventurer level to Bronze Level.

As for extraordinary power…

He desired it as well, though it was too uncertain, unsure if it was real.

Facing the reality now, he felt somewhat apprehensive.

He couldn’t help but ask Alya, “Lady… Lady Saintess, is everything alright?”

Alya shook her head bluntly: “No problem.”

However, Saul, who followed alongside, gently shook his head and smiled, saying, “Rest assured, it was personally constructed by the Guardian, there will be no issues, and the Light Goddess will watch over.”

Over two decades had passed, and Saul had transitioned from youth to middle-aged, his generally mild character contrasting with Alya’s distant demeanor, often worn with a slight smile, making him always approachable.

Within the Light Church, Saul, the Red-clothed Archbishop, was actually more popular among the regular believers compared to Alya, the Holy Daughter of Light.

Hearing his words, Schneider pressed down his unease and stepped onto the altar.

Immediately, Alya and Saul each moved to their designated positions.

“Let’s begin.”

Alya nodded to Saul, then started to activate the altar,
