Wizard System: Dissecting a Mutated Monster From the Start - Chapter 13
“Don’t move!” Edward quickly stopped the knights who were about to investigate.
Then, under the horrified gazes of the knights.
Boom!
The three-meter tall giant stone statue actually began to move. The dust of time on its body was also shaken off because of this huge movement, stirring up the dust and fog that filled the sky, merging together.
As the dust disappeared, the giant stone statue that had stood in front of the gate for hundreds of years revealed its true appearance!
The body made of an unknown boulder was glowing with a sparkling blue light. A huge sapphire was embedded in its chest, and its eyes were glowing.

The golem that had been sleeping for many years had finally awakened!
After it woke up, it first looked at the five knights standing in front of it. Its huge palm seemed to cover the sky as it slapped towards them.
All of this happened very quickly. The moment the system gave the alarm, the giant stone statue started operating.
“Protect Young Master Edward!”
One of the knights hurriedly drew his sword from his waist and tried to block the incoming palm.
But the end result was chilling.
……
The longsword, which was originally made of fine steel, was shattered into tiny pieces by the huge force. The knight’s chest was penetrated by the fragments, and the armor on his body seemed to not exist.
The weakness of the human body was fully displayed in front of this stone statue enhanced by mysterious power!
“Young Master Edward, run! We’ll stop this monster!”
The remaining knights pulled out their swords at the stone statue in fear and panic!
“System, detect the weakness of the stone statue and analyze it!”
Edward looked at the stone statue that was entangled with the knights, his eyes shining.
[System prompt: According to the system’s scan of the stone statue, the source of its mysterious power is connected to a mark on the giant gate in front of us. The host can input the same mysterious power as the origin into it, using it as a key to open the gate and shut down the stone statue!]
As the stone statue waved its arms, a large portion of the fog was swept away.
With his vision, Edward could easily see the imprint on the gate.
It was a disk carved with the design of a crow.
Crows, according to the ancient records of the Empire, symbolized the witch who spread the plague and scourge!
Edward smiled after thinking of that.
This was the right journey!
He let go of Alicia, who was holding onto the corner of his shirt tightly. In her widened eyes, Edward seemed to have turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards the gate.
At that moment, the knights fighting the stone statue also noticed Edward’s actions.
Their expression changed as they shouted, “Young Master Edward, come back!”
Alicia, the maid, trembled and fell to the ground. She watched with despair in her eyes as Edward rushed to the gate.
Oh no! The young master was going to be smashed into a pulp by the stone statue!
At this moment, the stone statue that had been circling around the knights also discovered this uninvited guest. It turned its massive body around and smashed towards Edward who was about to activate the gate.
Under everyone’s desperate gazes, as Edward placed the mysterious power in his hand on the mark, in an instant, the arm that was waving into the air stopped, and the stone statue’s blue eyes sank into darkness.
Everyone had yet to recover from the harrowing scene, and they stared blankly at the stone statue that had stopped moving.
A few knights who were prepared to fight to the death stopped in their tracks.
Edward held the protruding crow with one hand and spun it 90 degrees to the left according to the system’s instructions. As the crow spun, some firefly-like blue crystals gushed out from under his feet.
“Now, wait for me outside. Remember, don’t run down this building, and don’t move this stone statue!” As soon as he finished speaking, blue light enveloped his body.
He was teleported to the area behind this gate!
“This… May God’s protection remain with Young Master Edward!”
The knights were so shocked that they did not know what to say. In the end, it was Alicia who prayed for Edward.
——————
At the entrance of the mysterious ruins, Edward, who had been teleported in, found himself in a long corridor carved with murals. As the dark blue torches rose, vivid murals appeared before his eyes.
There were all sorts of mystical creatures like dragons and wizards wielding wooden staffs. Edward even saw the Beauty Snake he had absorbed.
The moment his fingertip touched the mural, before Edward could ask the system to scan and store it, a faint voice came from the depths of the corridor.
“Bloodline verification is in progress. Spiritual power meets the requirements. Magic power radiation collection is in progress. Confirmed to be a wizard. You are welcome to join us, unknown wizard!”
The voice was hollow and distant, making Edward think.
It seemed that these murals were the second safeguard of this ruin.
Also, it said ‘us’.
In other words, there were many wizards in this ruin?
Shaking his head, Edward decided to save the precious information into the system.
This information recorded the entirety of supernatural beings. There were at least hundreds of murals in this long corridor.
Furthermore, there were legendary creatures like dragons!
[System prompt: Scanning the murals in the long corridor. Estimated time is about three minutes.]
[System prompt: An unknown trap has been detected. The system has listed it for you. Please be careful!]
As expected, the corridor here was the place where the second layer of identity verification was conducted.
If he were to venture forward…
Edward felt his skin crawl as he looked at the dense red dots on the map.
Moreover, the number of red dots kept increasing as the system scanned them!
[System prompt: The corridor murals have been scanned and stored in the storage system database. Storage complete… unknown high-energy response detected at the end of the corridor! Please be careful!]
[System prompt: Scanning of the entire ruins has been completed. Information is being gathered. The damage to the ruins is at 12%. Discovered mysterious power storage: 69%. The room is intact. Currently connected to the control center of the ruins. Please wait patiently…]
Edward stroked the mural on the wall as he listened to the analysis provided by the system and laughed out loud.
After many days of hard work, he finally found the ruins of the legendary wizards. To build such a large and neat ruin, they had to be a Grand Wizard who was close to a Sky Knight!
