The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Inside the Nightmare Rift, the goddess of darkness, Shar, leaned back elegantly on a large chaise lounge.

Her long dress clung to her curves, making her alluring figure even more striking in the dim light.

Two pairs of long, slender, snow-white legs were crossed together, their perfect proportions making it impossible to look away.

On her jade-like feet, black high heels gracefully rose, their slender heels exuding an irresistible allure.

If it weren't for the bottomless dark sea below and the incessantly roaring, almost indescribable Sel...
Judging from Shar's posture at this moment, one might mistake her for a lady on vacation at the beach, elegant and composed, enjoying endless leisure.

Shar lay gracefully on her side, gently pursing her red lips, her pink tongue gliding over them, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, her expression carrying a hint of disdain.

"That aura of the scales... it's not an ordinary fragment of scales, but a remnant of scales that has reached a certain level of completion..."

She murmured to herself, recalling the dimension where the avatar of the Goddess of the Magic Network once resided.

At that moment, both the wizarding civilization and the divine civilization were watching this plane, and Shar, as a chief god, forcibly descended into it.

Although she broke the unspoken rules between the wizard civilization and the god civilization, she forcibly descended with the power of the chief god, wanting to seize the remnants of the scales.

Unfortunately, she was still a step too late. That little thing, the lucky one who possessed the remnants of the scales, escaped right before her eyes.

Although the difference was slight, Shar, as the goddess of darkness, possessed terrifying and unparalleled power.

Even Itakya, a seventh-level Old One, was nothing more than a plaything to be manipulated by her.

She even easily refined Itakua, turning the terrifying Old One into an opportunity for breakthrough, allowing Sel, who was at the sixth level of the Morning Star Realm, to step into the seventh level, which shows her terrifying strength.

Therefore, although she failed to capture the little thing that possessed the remnants of the scales, Shar remembered the scent it left behind when it left.

No matter how hidden or difficult to find that aura is, once the Goddess of Darkness, Shar, has locked onto it, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will never be able to escape.

The fact that the Dark Goddess Shar arrived in the southern region of the wizarding world, in the Nightmare Rift, already explained everything.

However, when she arrived, she did not sense the aura of the scales, so she thought that the guidance from the unseen was wrong.

So he decided to use Sel as a pawn, asking this local wizard to help him find information about the scales.

As a result, what she did not expect was that after she had been gone for a while, she came back in a real body.

As a result, that familiar aura of the scales appeared in the Nightmare Rift!
It's obvious that the little thing with the remnants of the scales that caused her to fail back then appeared in the Nightmare Rift!

"Hmph! I originally planned to have that fool Ser help me find information on the scales, but I didn't expect that he couldn't even suppress Itakua's will, and now he has to rely on me to continue helping him..."

Shar gave a low, cold snort, her tone full of disdain and impatience.

"Fortunately, the aura of the scales finally surfaced on its own... Although it was only a wisp of remnant aura, it was enough to show that the little thing that possessed the remnants of the scales had appeared in the Nightmare Rift Valley and had already left..."

Shar whispered softly from her red lips.

She also possesses the remnants of the Balance, and knows that multiple anchor points can be set within the Balance remnants, enabling teleportation over extremely long distances.

Therefore, the layers of formations in the Nightmare Rift Valley could not trap that little thing at all. The being that possessed the remnants of the Balance could come and go freely, as if it had something in mind.

But Shar was not in a hurry.

She knew that since that little thing had already come once, it would definitely come a second time.

She just needs to wait patiently, like a rabbit waiting to run into a tree stump, and eventually she will be able to catch that familiar scent again.

Once that little thing reappears, she can quickly seize him and take the remaining balance scales from his hands.

At that time, she will be able to perfectly fuse this fragment with the fragment of the scales she already possesses, and gain even deeper control over this supreme treasure.

However, all of this also means that her plans must be readjusted.

In order to prepare for the arrival of that little thing, Shar decided to maintain the current situation in Nightmare Rift Valley until that person reappeared.

This is why she took special action, using the Dark Sea to suppress Sel and help him suppress the will of Itakua within him.

If Itakua is allowed to refine Sel in turn, the characteristics of the Old Ones will inevitably spread, even affecting other wizards in the Nightmare Rift, especially Sel's subordinates and the wizards of the Meteor Council.

As the aura of the Old Ones spreads, the external reaction will become exceptionally strong, and the Wizarding Council will also come to its attention.

Although Ser was once under Itakua’s control, he did reveal some of his movements when he broke out of the Nightmare Rift and wreaked havoc.

But every little bit of delay was precious. Shar hoped that the little thing with the remnants of the Scales would reappear before the Wizarding Council completely conquered Nightmare Rift.

Even though she was a top-tier god, a supreme being among the countless heavens, this place was, after all, within the wizarding world, and she dared not go too far.

After all, there are beings within the wizarding civilization who are no less capable than her. If her whereabouts are exposed and the wizarding civilization's formation is activated, she will be in trouble.

....................................

The Nightmare Rift Valley is incredibly deep, with endless ravines, as if the earth had been directly torn apart, forming unfathomable scars.

In this endless darkness, suddenly, figures appeared in the pitch-black abyss.

Each figure emitted faint starlight, indicating that they had reached at least the level of a fourth-level Morning Star Wizard.

These figures arrived one after another like a tide, densely packed, numbering in the dozens.

The sheer number of Morning Star Wizards gathered in Nightmare Rift was awe-inspiring.

Two particularly striking figures stood before this group of wizards.

The figure on the left was dressed in a long black robe, which completely enveloped him, making his face unrecognizable.

His existence, like a lurking dark star, exudes a chilling aura.

He was known as the "Evil Wizard," a confidant of Ser and a key figure who controlled the entire Meteor Council while Ser was in seclusion.

The evil wizard's strength had reached the early stage of the sixth-level Morning Star Wizard. Although he was powerful, he still paled in comparison to the other figure.

The figure standing beside the evil sorcerer was particularly eye-catching.

Unlike evil sorcerers who conceal their faces, he directly revealed his true appearance.

Wearing a light green aristocratic robe, his face was handsome and dashing, like an impeccable middle-aged nobleman, with an elegant demeanor and an extraordinary aristocratic air about him.

The aura he exuded was even stronger than that of the evil sorcerer, reaching the level of a perfect sixth-level Morning Star sorcerer, clearly a being at the peak of the Morning Star realm!
What's even more striking are his long, sharp ears, which openly reveal his elven identity. This Morning Star Realm expert from the Elven race is none other than the renowned "Wind Shadow Duke" Fletcher.

Behind these two level six Morning Star Wizards, countless figures of Morning Star Wizards appeared one after another.

These wizards gathered here naturally for a common goal: for Sel, or more accurately, to await Sel's return from seclusion and his guidance.

After all, news had already spread that some time ago, Sel had officially broken through to level seven, unleashing terrifying level seven power and easily killing more than thirty Morning Star Wizards.

This news caused a great stir and made many people respect Ser's great strength, witnessing the birth of a Radiant Moon Lord.

More importantly, since then, the Wizard Council's army, which had been surrounding Nightmare Rift Valley, began to retreat, a change that was undoubtedly closely related to Sel's breakthrough.

However, just three days ago, the Morning Star wizards suddenly realized that the Wizard Council's army seemed to have regrouped and was preparing to launch an attack on Nightmare Rift.

This news once again drew the attention of all the Morning Star wizards.

The Wizarding Council has returned with full preparations, so no one dares to act on their own. Instead, they gather here to await Lord Sel's decision.

It is worth mentioning that Lynn's battle with the Spirit-Eyed Wizard against Ilo caused quite a stir within the Nightmare Rift.

The Spirit-Eyed Wizard, being a veteran of the Meteor Council, went to confront the elves for their overstepping of their authority by using humans for experiments.

However, he died at the hands of Ilo, a fact that was hard for many Morning Star Wizards on the human side to accept.

As a result, even that evil sorcerer was forced to make a statement, saying that he would deal with the elves properly, especially the Tree of Iro.

However, at that time, Duke Fletcher was also in seclusion, and the situation was not urgent enough to require him to come out of seclusion immediately.

Thus, the matter reached a stalemate, and the conflict between the elves and humans accumulated, threatening to erupt.

But at that moment, Sel suddenly emerged from seclusion, and immediately displayed terrifying power that surpassed the level of a Morning Star Wizard. He rushed out of the Nightmare Rift and slaughtered more than thirty Morning Star Wizards!
When this news reached back, it naturally caused a huge upheaval throughout the entire Nightmare Rift Valley.

The many Morning Star Wizards on the human side felt it was a dream and unimaginable. Wasn't Lord Sel a Shattered Star Wizard? How did he go further and become the supreme Lord Radiant Moon?
The elves immediately sensed something was wrong. Even the Tree of Iro, who had been stubbornly resisting, realized that they had gone too far.

After killing that Morning Star Wizard, it unexpectedly triggered the conflict between the human and elf races that has been deadlocked ever since. If Sel hadn't broken through, it wouldn't have been a problem.

After all, Duke Fletcher of the Windshadow was no weaker than Sel, and Ilo was not afraid of those Morning Star wizards of the human race causing him trouble.

But now, Sel has broken through, transcending the level of the Morning Star Realm and entering the level of the Radiant Moon Crown, which is located above the clouds!

Among the elves, there is a Crowned Moon, but the elves are divided into several tribes. The wind elf tribe from which Ilo and Flett originated does not have a Crowned Moon.

Theoretically speaking, if Ser had the will, he could wipe out the wind spirit race all by himself!

Of course, the death of the Spirit-Eyed Wizard was not the only cause of death, but it was enough to serve as a wake-up call for Ilo.

After all, Ilo understood that the trouble he had caused could very well affect Lord Fletcher's plans.

Therefore, he knelt directly before Duke Windshadow's secluded training ground, woke him up, and told him about everything that had happened in the past.

This matter is neither too big nor too small, but the timing is tricky, as it falls right in the gap between Sel's breakthrough under the Moon Crown.

Therefore, even though Ilo was a confidant of Duke Fletcher, he ultimately could not avoid paying a heavy price.

With the emergence of Duke Fletcher of the Wind Shadow, he presented Ilo's arm and leg to the evil sorcerer.

It's important to know that Iro's true form is the Iro Tree, which is different from ordinary wizards. Once his physical body is damaged, it is very difficult for him to recover.

Therefore, Fletcher's move can be considered a severe punishment. As a result, with the mediation of the evil sorcerer, the anger of the human Morning Star sorcerers towards the elves has been greatly reduced.

This led to the scene before us, where numerous Morning Star wizards, both human and elf, had gathered.

Of course, except for Ilo, because he's still recovering from his broken arm and leg...

………………

The crowd looked down into the deep, gloomy darkness. The shadows seemed to have a mind of their own, flickering and shimmering, making it impossible for anyone to venture into them.

Even the two level six Morning Star Wizards, Duke Windshadow and the Demon Wizard, dared not venture deep into the area rashly.

After all, Her Majesty Radiant Moon and these sixth-level Morning Star Wizards are in a completely different world. Even the most powerful Morning Star Wizards are nothing in front of Her Majesty Radiant Moon.

Just like the difference between a third-level apprentice and a full-fledged wizard, or between a third-level archmage and a fourth-level Morning Star wizard, the gap is enormous!

"Please inform Lord Sel of the changes in the outside world..."

Three months ago, Duke Windshadow, Fletcher, and Wizard Sel were on equal footing, but now they address each other as "Sir".

The evil wizard nodded slightly, then compiled information about the actions of the Wizard Council outside and sent the message in through his unique method with the wizard Sel.

Of course, they didn't know when the newly appointed Lord of the Radiant Moon, the Wizard of Sel, would reply, so they could only wait here.

………………

In the endless tide of darkness, the originally twisted, formless Ser has now taken on a human form, no longer affected by Itakya's influence, and has regained his self-awareness.

Of course, this situation is only possible because of the help of the goddess of darkness, Shar. Even if Sel regains his sanity and suppresses Itakua, he cannot be sure what will happen if they break free from the tide of darkness.

Just as he was trying to regain his senses and suppress and refine Itakua, one urgent message after another came in from the evil sorcerer.

"Um?!"

The wizard Sel is now in dire straits, barely able to save himself, let alone deal with those damned wizards from the Wizard Council who might storm in at any moment.

Therefore, he directly reported the relevant information to the goddess of darkness, Shar.

At the top of the black, sloping skyscraper above, the goddess of darkness, Shar, stretched languidly, revealing her graceful figure. Her slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table beside her.

Amidst the endless tide of darkness, Sel, still recovering, was lost in thought, wondering what this terrifying goddess truly meant...

Meanwhile, outside the Nightmare Rift Valley, terrifying auras descended from the sky one after another.

Each figure descended like a star, exuding the aura of a Morning Star Wizard. One after another, they appeared densely in the sky above the Nightmare Rift Valley.

Among the many Morning Star wizards, Lynn was also prominently featured, having actively participated in the final battle against the Nightmare Rift... (End of Chapter)
