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

Rumble!
One terrifying aura after another belonging to the Morning Star Wizard suddenly exploded in the sky!
It was as if stars were ignited in an instant, and as they intertwined and collided, the entire sky roared as if it were about to collapse under the weight of the storm.

Space trembled, and its rules were disrupted.

Visible ripples of energy spread wildly in all directions.

Lynn led a large group of Morning Star wizards across planes and, upon their arrival, landed directly in the very center of the battlefield, hovering above the Earth City.

At this very moment, the capital city was completely surrounded by the vast army of the gods.

Looking out, the densely packed legions stretched out like a black tide at the edge of the land.

The crimson banners of the Mystic Fire Knights fluttered in the wind, and a large array of legendary mages formed a spellcasting matrix that floated in mid-air.

A dazzling yet dangerous torrent of elements poured down relentlessly, bombarding the defensive formations surrounding the capital city.

The massive array of light was now shaking violently from the impact, with cracks constantly appearing, which were being frantically repaired by the wizards inside.

The gods' civilization employed a four-sided encirclement tactic, advancing simultaneously from the four directions of east, west, south, and north, continuously compressing the defensive space of the Earth Capital.

As a result, the forces within the Great City were forced to disperse and rush to provide assistance in various places.

This magnificent city, however, is so vast that it resembles an independent kingdom.

Even a Morning Star Wizard, without special teleportation methods, could not possibly traverse the entire city in an instant by simply flying.

This means that without external intervention, the Earth City is destined to be able only to passively defend itself.

If you can protect the east, you can't protect the west; if you can hold the south, the north will fall.

However, the civilization of gods was able to gradually erode the entire giant city by virtue of its superior numbers and strategic deployment.

But now everything has changed.

As Lynn led a large number of Morning Star wizards down from the sky, the balance of the battlefield was instantly shattered!

Swish!Swish!Swish!
A series of dazzling streaks of light suddenly fell from the sky!
Numerous Morning Star Wizards scattered and swooped down from the sky, like stars falling to earth.

They trailed long, regular tail flames, their brilliant light tearing through the sky and leaving dazzling trails in mid-air.

From a distance, it looks like a real meteor shower descending upon the earth.

But this meteor shower brought not blessings, but destruction.

The next moment, numerous Morning Star Wizards crashed into the four battlefields surrounding the Earth City!
For Morning Star Wizards, the simplest way to deal with the weak is not by using rule-based magic, but by using simple and unadorned mental attacks!
Their spiritual realm is as brilliant as a galaxy, and their vast and boundless spiritual power is of extremely high quality, allowing them to easily crush lower-level beings.

Just like now, almost the instant they fell, many Morning Star Wizards released their mental power without reservation.

boom!
The terrifying mental impact swept out like an invisible tsunami!

That force swept across like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Wherever it passed, the weaker believers of the divine civilizations didn't even have time to scream before their eyes rolled back, white foam appeared at their mouths, and they fell straight down.

Large numbers of low-level mages suffered a mental breakdown on the spot, their consciousness forcibly stunned.

The spellcasting array, which was maintaining the spell, collapsed one after another, and the elemental chaos exploded out of control.

On the other side, the ordinary knights of the Mysterious Fire Knights were in an even worse state.

Their warhorses neighed in terror, their hooves pounding wildly.

The knights couldn't even keep their balance before their will was crushed by the overwhelming spiritual force, and one by one their bodies stiffened as they fell off their horses.

boom! boom! boom!
The sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground rose and fell, and in an instant, a large area of ​​the battlefield was cleared.

The crucial point is that, in order to surround and kill the Soul-Slaying Wizard, the Civilization of Gods had already deployed a large number of legendary mages and legendary archmages to the main battlefield.

Almost all of the high-level combat forces were concentrated there.

This was originally intended to achieve a decisive victory in one battle.

However, this has also resulted in a severe shortage of high-end forces in the other three battlefields.

Without the restraint of powerful peers, these suddenly arriving Morning Star Wizards were like a pack of tigers that had broken into a sheepfold, and no one could stop them.

Those low-level believers with limited strength were as fragile as paper in front of them.

In an instant, the battlefields on all four sides were filled with chaos.

One after another, figures of morning stars, carrying terrifying power of rules, charged wildly, and wherever they went, swarms of believers of the gods collapsed.

The scene was like harvesting a wheat field, overwhelming and unstoppable.

Within the two major civilization systems, those who can truly rival the Morning Star Wizards are those who have stepped into the "Holy Realm" and beyond: legendary mages and legendary archmages.

In a direct confrontation, they are fully comparable to level four or even level five Morning Star Wizards.

Below the legendary mage, the correspondence between the two systems is as follows:

The three stages of a first-level wizard correspond to the second, third, and fourth-level wizards.
The three stages of a level two wizard correspond to the fifth, sixth, and seventh ring wizards;
As for the three stages of a Level 3 Archmage, they correspond one-to-one with the Eighth Ring, the Ninth Ring, and the Holy Domain Mage.

On the battlefield at this moment, the majority of those on the side of the divine civilization have never been those legendary powerhouses who are high above.

Rather, it was those mid-to-low-level mages below the eighth ring, who were like a torrent.

They are the ones who constitute the "main body" of this war.

Previously, relying on the magic network, these spellcasters, who seemed weak individually, could weave their powers together.

One person with one technique may have limitations, but when thousands or tens of thousands of people simultaneously activate the magic network, it becomes a torrent of magic capable of engulfing everything.

One plus one is far greater than two.

That layered, endless barrage of spells is what makes the civilization of the gods so terrifying.

However, all of this has now been forcibly interrupted, and the magic network itself has begun to fluctuate.

Even more fatally, the mages who served as "nodes" didn't have time to re-establish the connection before they were crushed by the Morning Star Wizards who descended from the sky.

boom!
Wave after wave of spiritual energy swept across the battlefield like an invisible storm.

Those mages at the first and second level of wizardry, that is, spellcasters below the eighth ring, are almost powerless against this level of mental suppression.

Their mental defenses were as fragile as paper; they crumbled at the slightest touch.

As a result, large numbers of mages, before they could even complete their spells, had their consciousness forcibly shattered and collapsed on the spot.

The rhythm of the entire battlefield was completely disrupted in just a few breaths.

Only eighth-ring mages, ninth-ring mages, and those who have already entered the Saint Realm can barely hold on.

They gritted their teeth, frantically focusing their mental energy to resist wave after wave of attacks.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and there were even faint traces of blood seeping from his eyes.

Even so, their numbers were far too small.

Placed in a massive battlefield with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, these individuals are like scattered reefs, constantly battered by giant waves.

Almost every one of them is a core member of a mage squad or a temporary commander of a war zone.

Now, they have no time to care about the fallen low-level mages. The only thing they can do is to quickly gather forces of the same level and fight together!

"This way! Come closer!"

"Don't scatter! Form a defensive formation!"

Someone shouted hoarsely, the sound particularly urgent amidst the chaos of the battlefield.

Figures quickly converged, layering magical shields to attempt to construct a temporary defensive array.

However, without the support of the magic network, their spellcasting efficiency plummeted.

The spells require chanting, and the mind needs guidance; even a slight delay of just one breath can be fatal in this level of combat.

Compared to their previous "instant chain" state when they used the magic network, they now appeared clumsy and sluggish, even somewhat disheveled.

"what!"

A scream suddenly rang out.

"Back-to-back! All-out defense!!"

Someone roared, their voice already carrying a hint of despair and madness.

But at that moment, someone suddenly froze.

Then, an incredulous light flashed in his eyes.

"By the goddess above... I... I can sense the magic network again!"

These words were like a spark, instantly igniting the emotions of everyone around.

"The magic network has been restored?!"

"Quick! Connect to the Magic Network!"

"The goddess hasn't abandoned us!!"

The front line, which was on the verge of collapse, began to show signs of stabilizing at this moment.

Almost instinctively, numerous eighth-ring, ninth-ring, and holy-level mages reconnected with the vast network that covered the heavens and earth.

At this moment, the magic net suspended high in the sky no longer fluctuated violently as before; it returned to stability, depth, and vastness.

Like an invisible yet real giant net, it reconnects the spirits of countless mages.

The next moment, the power returned!

As the connection was completed, streams of magical power far exceeding his own limits flowed into his body.

That familiar sense of control has returned!
Even though the world was still filled with the mental impact of the Morning Star Wizards, they were no longer as passively attacked as before.

"Charge!"

"Multi-cast! Activate!!"

With each low shout, spells took shape almost simultaneously! Shields, barriers, and elemental walls unfolded one after another, layer upon layer, interlocking to form a solid defensive line.

It not only protected itself firmly, but also enveloped the low-level mages who were unconscious and defenseless on the ground.

Even after reconnecting to the magic network, the mages' situation only changed from "utterly helpless" to "barely able to protect themselves."

The strength has indeed returned, but the gap has not disappeared.

They knew very well that a direct confrontation with the Morning Star Wizard was a battle only legendary mages could participate in, and at their level, they were far from being qualified.

However, at least one thing has changed: with the blessing of the magic network, they will no longer be directly shattered by that rampant mental torrent, causing them to faint on the spot.

After stabilizing themselves, some eighth-ring mages, ninth-ring mages, and holy-level mages finally had the energy to turn their attention to the battlefield around them.

Upon seeing this, many people's pupils contracted sharply.

On the ground, a large number of mages lay sprawled and broken.

Some people are simply pale and have disordered breathing, clearly suffering severe mental trauma and falling into a deep coma.

Although this situation is serious, it can at least be saved.

But there were others... who bled from all seven orifices, their eyes rolled back, and their bodies stiffened like puppets.

That was the result of one's spirit being completely crushed, leading to instant death.

Those who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines.

The level of Morning Star Wizards is practically like a source of calamity walking among humans.

In areas densely populated with low-level mages, they don't even need to make a move.

The mere "leakage" of power was enough to cause a devastating massacre.

That kind of gap can no longer be bridged by skill or quantity.

At this moment, the reason why many low-level mages were able to hold their ground was not only because the magic network had been restored, but also because of another more crucial reason.

Their top-tier combatants have finally made their move.

boom!
boom!
boom!
High above, the domain that originally belonged to the Morning Star Wizard to vent his emotions freely was quickly shattered.

One after another, powerful auras surged upwards!

Those were legendary mages and legendary archmages; they stepped directly into the battlefield and charged towards the Morning Star wizards!

Like wizards, mages are also purely ranged classes.

They don't need close-quarters combat or hand-to-hand fighting; their true fighting style has always been exchanging blows from a distance!
Simply by standing at a safe distance, manipulating the rules, and releasing spells, one can influence the entire battle.

Therefore, these legendary mages did not actually need to "stop" those Morning Star wizards.

All they did was unleash high-level spells that were close to "divine magic" to launch ranged attacks!
As long as the Morning Star Wizard cannot continue to unleash his spiritual torrents without restraint, his suppression of the lower-level battlefield will be greatly weakened.

This is why, after the first wave of devastating impact that was almost impossible to withstand, the suppressive power of the second wave was significantly reduced.

The battlefield has gradually shifted from "one-sided crushing" to "high-level confrontation".

High in the air, one-on-one, or number-to-number.

The Morning Star Wizard and the legendary mage begin their true head-on confrontation!
Overall, the number of Morning Star Wizards still holds an advantage.

But these legendary mages are too "slippery".

They never engage in direct combat; once a spell is cast, they immediately change position, their figures weaving across the battlefield like eels.

The Morning Star Wizards, despite their attempts to unite and even seal off space to eliminate a legendary mage on the spot, still faced extremely high difficulties.

These spellcasters at the top have more and more ways to protect themselves than the last, including spatial jumps, rule shifts, and substitute projections... the list goes on and on.

The final result is mostly just injury, or even serious injury, but it is difficult to truly kill instantly.

For example, at this moment, in a corner of the battlefield, the Illusionary Grass Lion Wizard Genna has already joined Aaron, Ian, and the other two.

The three Morning Star Wizards linked their auras together, forming a subtle blockade, their eyes fixed on the two figures ahead.

Those were two legendary mages clad in red bishop robes, of high status, and their auras were equally formidable.

"Lock them up!"

Aaron gave a low shout and made the first move.

The power of the rules spread out instantly, and the space seemed to be wrapped by invisible vines, tightening layer by layer.

At the same time, Ian also activated his magic without hesitation, and another force of law blocked the retreat route of the two legendary mages from the side!
At this moment, the world seemed to have become an invisible cage!
And the instant the blockade was completed, Gna moved!

"Roar!"

With a deep and suppressed roar, the enormous Illusion Grass Lion suddenly stepped through the air and arrived!

Its vine-like mane danced wildly, and a green glow surged across its body.

The next instant, two giant claws, carrying a terrifying power to crush everything, slammed down!

If this attack hits, it would be enough to tear the two of them apart on the spot!

However, at that very moment, the expressions of the two legendary mages changed drastically without hesitation.

Their eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and their mental energy burned to its limit in an instant, as they actually took the initiative to meet the falling giant claw!

boom!
Blood exploded!

The two figures were captured almost simultaneously, their bodies twisting violently as if they were about to be torn apart at the waist!
Such injuries, if inflicted on an ordinary person, would have already killed them beyond any hope of survival.

But they were not ordinary people; they were legendary mages!

In the final moment, the two of them forcefully used the force of the impact to break free from the constraints of the rules!

next moment!
Swish!
Two afterimages flashed suddenly!

Their figures twisted and shifted in mid-air, barely escaping the core range of the fatal blow despite their severe injuries!

Although his life force plummeted instantly, and even his robes were soaked in blood, he was still alive!

Immediately afterward, the two moved toward the other legendary mages without any hesitation, almost instinctively.

As long as they join a group, they will still have a way to survive.

Similar scenes are playing out repeatedly across the entire battlefield.

In some places, several Morning Star Wizards joined forces to besiege and kill a legendary mage, forcing him to retreat in defeat and leaving him severely injured and on the verge of death.
In some places, it's a one-on-one entanglement, with techniques clashing and neither side able to gain the upper hand, only able to wear each other down.
Only a very few unlucky individuals were targeted by four or more Morning Star Wizards simultaneously, who sealed off the space and cut off their escape route.

In that situation, there was almost no doubt that he would die on the spot, his blood staining the sky.

This is the essence of combat at this level; achieving a "one-hit kill" is extremely difficult.

Unless the level of power becomes overwhelming, or one is surrounded and killed by multiple people.

Otherwise, even a fatal blow could be forcibly neutralized, deflected, or even endured by the opponent through various means.

However, there are always exceptions, such as the raging sea god!
On the main battlefield at this moment, his presence is an anomaly that almost completely disrupts the balance!

High in the sky, a colossal figure stood suspended in mid-air.

He held a giant sword that stretched across the sky, as if splitting heaven and earth in two!
The next moment!
boom!!!
With a single swing of the sword!
At that moment, it truly felt like the creation of the world!
Wherever the sword light passed, space shattered inch by inch, like a tsunami overturning or an abyss collapsing!
And just recently, the scene of him descending from the sky shocked the entire audience!

Its enormous form, like a humpback whale leaping from the deep sea, crashed into the main battlefield with irresistible force!
The moment it landed, there were no fancy moves, only the most primal and violent crushing force!
A legendary mage, whose aura was comparable to that of a fourth-level Morning Star Wizard, was crushed by that terrifying impact before he could even unleash a complete spell!
He died on the spot!

And this is not the end!

"Roar!!!"

The Sea Emperor roared, his voice shaking heaven and earth!

The greatsword in his hand suddenly trembled, as if the soul of some ancient whale had been awakened within it!
The next moment, the sword light rose again and crashed down!

Another legendary mage was killed without warning!
In a short time, two legendary mages fell one after another. Such a record is simply astonishing!
And that's why the Sea King of Storms instantly became the most dangerous presence on the field!
"Stop him!!"

"Don't let him make another move!!"

The legendary archmages who were originally scattered in various places changed their expressions drastically and gathered together.

A series of powerful auras intertwined, locking onto the Sea Emperor of the Surging Waves!

They knew very well that if they didn't contain this monster, the battle would completely spiral out of control!
As a result, a large number of top-tier combatants were tied down in this main battlefield and suppressed together!
Besides this, they could only occasionally spare some energy to cast ranged spells to support legendary mages in other areas.

Looking at the overall situation, the outcome is gradually becoming clear.

The wizard's chances of winning against the mage are roughly 70/30, with the wizard having a 70% chance and the mage only a 30% chance.

In a sense, this can already be considered an overwhelming victory; it's just that it hasn't completely collapsed yet.

At an even higher vantage point, Lynn stood firmly in the heavens, the Azure Spirit in his right hand radiating a faint azure glow.

His gaze slowly fell upon the magic net below, which had stabilized once more.

That colossal structure that covered the heavens and the earth was no longer trembling, and had returned to its profound depths and stability.

Lynn's gaze darkened slightly.

The next moment, he gently flipped his right hand, and a blue luster flowed across the back of his hand.

A complex and intricate magic net mark slowly emerged, with interwoven patterns and a profound structure, and it even seemed to resonate with the magic net below.

Just now, he used the power of the Azure Sky Spirit to forcibly interfere with the operation of the magic network, and even interrupted it at one point.

But now, not only has the magic network been restored, but the mark within his body that connects with the magic network can no longer be completely hidden.

Although the magic network has been restored, the Gods' Civilization is already in a losing position. With the intervention of many Morning Star Wizards, the situation has been completely disrupted. Meanwhile, the Earth Capital is also attacking the outside, and many wizards inside have begun to counterattack.

By all accounts, this round ended in a complete victory for the wizards!
"But...why are those mages fighting so hard...something's not right..."

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly. Being an outsider, he could see everything from above. On the battlefield below, the group of mages were not only not fleeing in defeat, but were fighting so hard.

Thinking of this, Lynn gently pressed his left hand against the back of his right hand, and the magic net mark on it seemed to glow slightly more than before... (End of this chapter)
