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

The clash between the legendary mage and the Morning Star wizard was, in a sense, quite "spectacular".

Because both sides are essentially remote spellcasters.

Whether it is witchcraft or magic, it is all released from a distance, with rules and energy colliding and tearing in mid-air.

However, they themselves rarely come into direct contact with the virus, which is why protection becomes of paramount importance.

On the Morning Star Wizard's side, various protective spells were layered upon each other, some like flowing light, others like invisible barriers, subtly protecting his body.

Meanwhile, the legendary mage on the other side was equally impressive, wielding divine spells, magical shields, and elemental barriers...

Various methods were intertwined to protect themselves thoroughly.

After all, everyone knows that their physical bodies are not strong. Once their defenses are breached, they are often severely injured or even die on the spot.

Therefore, a rather "conspicuous" scene appeared on the battlefield.

Beams of light flashed in mid-air, some red, some blue, some gold, some silver, as various shields, barriers, and energy layers overlapped one another.

From a distance, it looks like countless fireflies floating in the night sky, dazzling yet...exposed.

In this environment, identifying the opponent is never a problem.

The only question is whether you can break through the opponent's defenses, or whether you are fast enough to dodge a fatal blow amidst the dense torrent of spells.

However, Lynn's "entry" was completely out of place.

He was also a Morning Star Wizard, but at this moment, he had no protective magic around him.

Not only was it not activated, but it was even deliberately suppressed. The mental energy was gathered into one, the power of the rules was forcibly silenced, and the protective witchcraft was actively shut down.

At this moment, it was as if he had deliberately separated himself from that "sea of ​​light," leaving only a pure physical body, which disappeared into the depths of the sky.

For this reason, he seemed to have "disappeared," at least in this battlefield filled with intense energy fluctuations, he became inconspicuous.

As he plummeted at high speed, he suddenly changed direction. Without using any magical techniques or the power of rules, he relied entirely on his own body control and explosive power to draw a strange arc in the air!

The next moment, he was already skimming along the energy turbulence at the edge of the battlefield, hurtling towards his target!

In a normal environment, even a legendary mage, no matter how casually he moves, can have his spiritual perception cover a very large area.

Even if Lynn tried his best to hide it, he could not completely avoid it, but the situation was completely different now.

The combined attack of the two Morning Star wizards left him with almost no chance to breathe, and coupled with his own serious injuries, Lynn's approach was naturally effortless in this state.

………………

At this moment, the legendary mage's figure in mid-air already looked somewhat disheveled.

The once neat robes were now tattered and torn. The blue and white star patterns engraved on them were twisted and wrinkled, losing their original solemnity. Wounds tore open on the waist, arms, and thighs. Some were scorched black by flames, while others were torn apart by frost. His breathing was disordered.

It was obvious that under the combined attack of the two Morning Star wizards, he had already reached his limit and was almost at his last gasp.

And at this very moment!
"boom!"

In the distance, two beams of light shot out almost simultaneously!

A crimson red streak, like blood, surged and quickly coalesced into a ferocious fire serpent!

The snake's body twisted, and flames surged, like a calamity beast from mythology, baring its fangs and radiating an aura of incineration, as it lunged down!

The other one was an icy blue that chilled to the bone!

Countless frost crystals instantly condensed in mid-air, transforming into countless sharp hunting blades, densely packed like a torrential downpour, carrying a bone-chilling cold as they swept in!

Fire and ice descended at the same instant, blocking all escape routes!
Faced with the oncoming flames and frost, the legendary mage's pupils suddenly contracted, but he showed no fear whatsoever.

Instead, he took a deep breath, and his originally pale face suddenly turned a strange red, as if ready to burn everything!
The next moment, his mind was instantly immersed in prayer, devout and fervent.

"With my life!"

"With my magic!"

"With everything I have!"

"Loyalty! Devotion! I offer myself entirely to the supreme goddess!!"

"Let the blue and white stars shine even brighter!!!"

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the power within him surged dramatically!
Just like the deaths of those mages and knights before them, their fall will turn into blue and white specks of light, returning to the high sky.

The "rewards" that a legendary mage's sacrifice can bring are far beyond what is ordinary!

At this moment, he seemed to be ignited, and strands of blue and white light emanated from his body, echoing the enormous blue and white star in the sky!
At the same time, his mental power expanded wildly, directly drawing upon the distant magic net!
Clearly, he wanted more than just to "die".

Instead, he wanted to burn everything before he died, sacrificing himself to drag the two Morning Star wizards down with him!

"call out!"

Flames and frost are upon me!

The intense heat and extreme cold intertwined at this moment, completely blocking his escape route, and the two attacks also successfully attracted all his attention.

"you!"

His eyes blazed with intense light, as if he could already see his own end—burning everything and perishing together with others.

However, just as he was about to detonate himself, a sudden change occurred!
An extremely sudden sense of crisis exploded in his heart without warning!

"!!!"

His body trembled violently, and his mental energy surged wildly, as if something had already approached his "blind spot".

He sensed it, but didn't have time to understand it, much less time to react.

The next moment!
"boom!!!"

Everything is frozen in time.

His expression remained one of piety and fervor.

But in that instant, everything suddenly twisted, filled with astonishment, horror, and even a hint of fear that couldn't be expressed.

This moment is eternity.

Because behind him, a figure had already appeared, pitch black, without the slightest aura emanating from it, yet carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

A hand plunged directly into his chest, as if tearing open a thin sheet of paper, and thrust in with a thud!

"puff!"

His heart was crushed on the spot!
At the same time, another hand grabbed his head and yanked it sharply!
"Tear!!"

Flesh and blood ripped apart; the entire person was ripped apart cleanly and decisively.

From a distance, the scene looked like a raptor swooping down from the sky, instantly locking onto its prey, killing it with a single blow, and then tearing it apart and carrying it away!

The figure paused slightly in mid-air, still holding the legendary mage's shattered body and broken limbs in its hand, before suddenly rising upwards!

At the same time, the belated flames and frost crashed down!

"Boom!!!"

An explosion occurred in mid-air, accompanied by a sudden burst of light!
The intense flames and dazzling ice blue light completely illuminated that area!
It was at this moment that the figure was fully revealed to everyone.

A long black robe with flowing gold patterns—it was none other than Lord Lynn.

At this moment, although Lynn did not use any witchcraft or release his spiritual power, his aura was completely different.

An invisible force emanated from his body, unlike spiritual power or mere physical oppression.

It's more like fighting spirit, yet it's purer and more fierce than fighting spirit.

That was a kind of "fighting spirit," fiery, high-spirited, and sharp!
The essence of this aura is the power of rules he has mastered: the rules of battle.

At this moment, this rule did not manifest as a spell, but rather it was bestowed upon him!

Physical strength, power, explosiveness—everything was forcibly elevated!

That's why he was able to tear through the layers of protection of a legendary mage in that instant.

Otherwise, based solely on his foundation as a level three body-refining great wizard...

Even if the opponent is in a bad state and you ambushed them, it's impossible to achieve this level of overwhelming dominance.

In mid-air, the aftershocks of fire and frost gradually dissipated, and that area returned to a brief silence.

And Lynn's figure hung silently within it.

His right hand held the legendary mage's head, the expression still contorted, as if frozen in the moment before death. Even more striking was the layer of azure light enveloping it, like a barrier isolating everything.

The aura of the Azure Sky Spirit flowed within, sealing off everything that remained.

This is why, unlike others, the "death" of this legendary mage did not turn into blue and white specks of light and return to the sky.

There was no response, no merging into that blue and white star; instead, it was forcibly severed!

"really……"

Lynn's gaze darkened slightly, a hint of confirmation flashing in his eyes.

"The Spirit of Azure Sky can seal this link."

The thought flashed through his mind, but his attention quickly returned to the attack he had just delivered.

That instantaneous strike was clean, swift, and deadly!
Although it was essentially a sneak attack, its significance to him was not simple.

He follows the path of body refinement, but rarely uses this "pure physical" method to defeat powerful enemies of the same level.

Moreover, he was a legendary mage comparable to the Morning Star Wizard.

This was the first time, and the moment of exertion, entry, and explosion replayed rapidly in his mind. Every detail was crystal clear, and it even subtly touched him.

Although Lynn possesses the talent of hard work paying off, a single battle is not enough to directly deepen his understanding of the "rules of combat" or accelerate his progress.

But if once isn't enough, then twice, three times... and many more times, he will inevitably gain a deeper understanding of the rules of combat.

Just then, two streaks of light, blue and red, rapidly approached from afar.

It was the two Morning Star wizards who had previously besieged the legendary mage. They stopped a short distance away and gave a slight bow.

"Greetings, Lord."

Lynn glanced at it casually.

One of them, surrounded by flowing blue light and exuding a calm aura, was a fourth-level Morning Star Wizard and one of the old nobles who had accompanied the group.

He didn't look at her much, but the other person made his gaze linger for a moment longer.

A crimson aura swirled around him, carrying a scorching heat. His robes were tattered and torn. Although his aura was strong, it seemed somewhat weak. He was none other than the Soul-Slaying Wizard.

He had been nearly killed by the army of gods, and if Lynn hadn't brought his men down, he would probably have perished long ago.

In addition, the "rain of life" from the Azure Sky Spirit later restored the state of many wizards in the Earth Capital.

He was clearly one of the beneficiaries as well; otherwise, he might not be standing here right now.

When Lynn's gaze fell upon him, the once unruly Flame Soul Wizard paled slightly and almost instinctively lowered his head.

The sharpness and arrogance of their initial meeting have long since vanished, replaced by a subtle sense of awe and apprehension.

Lynn simply smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

The next moment, his figure suddenly moved, and his entire body once again merged into the chaotic sky and disappeared, obviously continuing to search for the next target.

Lynn's figure disappeared completely into the high-altitude turbulence.

The Soul of Slaying Flame Wizard and the Morning Star Wizard, whose blue light flowed, exchanged a brief glance, but ultimately couldn't help but start talking in hushed tones.

"This Lord Lynn..."

The Blue Light Wizard clicked his tongue, his eyes still lingering with the shock of what had just happened.

"There are actually such methods?"

"His attack...it didn't resemble conventional witchcraft at all...the second layer of rule power...was it the rule of combat?"

"And it also shows traces of body-refining techniques. This lord is indeed quite mysterious..."

His tone carried a hint of barely suppressed apprehension; what had just happened was indeed a sneak attack.

But the problem lies in that speed, that angle of entry, and that final, pure tearing force...

If it were him, he might not have been able to stop it.

Upon hearing this, the Soul-Slaying Wizard remained silent for a moment, then spoke coldly, his voice low and suppressed:

“We all underestimated him. Don’t forget, the former lord was the only one among the four lords to step into the ‘Gate of Radiant Moon’.”

"How could someone like that, who personally selected his successor, be just an ordinary level four wizard?"

"Even if he's only at level four now... he's not someone you or I can compare to. Let alone the fact that he's already reached level five..."

Upon hearing this, the Blue Light Wizard's expression changed slightly, but he did not refute it.

Because he actually knew it in his heart, but... he just wasn't willing to admit it.

The Soul of Slaying Flames wizard glanced at the distant battlefield.

"What happens next... depends on what Lord Sean thinks."

With that, he left it at that, and without lingering, he transformed into a streak of crimson light, soaring into the distance and rejoining the battlefield.

The blue-light wizard was left standing there for a moment, his eyes flashing. After a long while, he suddenly murmured something to himself.

"They don't even dare to utter a few curses in private anymore..."

His tone was somewhat complicated; he knew the nature of the Soul-Slaying Warlock all too well.

Arrogant and hot-tempered, always ready to fight if provoked, but that tone of voice, that attitude just now...

"It seems... this old friend is genuinely a little scared."

He gave a wry smile, but that relief quickly vanished.

Because he suddenly realized something.

The Soul of Slaying Flame Wizard had been driven to the brink of "near death," while the Might of Conflict Wizard was already dead.

The two Morning Star wizards who volunteered to step forward are now at a terrible cost: one is still recovering from serious injuries, and the other has perished.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill run down his spine.

“Going against this newly appointed lord… the cost is too high.”

Especially for those of them who have not yet reached the sixth level of Morning Star.

"This kind of thing... let those who have passed the CET-6 exam worry about it."

Once the thought was formed, he no longer hesitated. In a flash, he transformed into a streak of blue light and followed closely behind the Soul-Slaying Wizard.

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

Meanwhile, Lynn's "appearance," though only fleeting and without even a direct confrontation, had an impact that quickly spread.

The legendary mages and even the higher-ranking legendary archmages all turned their gazes toward the sky.

That blue and white star stretching across the sky is not only a manifestation of power, but also the foundation of faith.

That is the source of their confidence to "go to their deaths," because as long as that star exists, as long as the goddess's will remains.

Then death is not the true end; their souls will return and be reborn in the Kingdom of God.

That is why they are so crazy, fearless, and even willing to die.

But now everything has changed!

Lynn's attack just now not only killed a legendary mage, but more importantly, the legendary mage's "death" did not return, did not turn into blue and white light spots, and did not merge into the stars.

This means that the legendary mage is truly dead, completely dead, with no possibility of resurrection!

For them, it meant something completely different. After all, such high-level beings were not fools. Although their piety towards the goddess was genuine, they were not crazy enough to be like this.

Lynn's move was truly a fatal blow, directly shaking the very foundation of their "daredevil" spirit.

Even if Lynn, being alone, had the means to isolate the Blue and White Stars, he would not attack the ordinary mages and knights below, but would instead target these high-ranking beings.

If they were to die, truly die, would they still be able to rush forward without hesitation as before?
The answer is obviously beyond doubt!

This can be seen from the grim expressions on the faces of those legendary mages and archmages.

Especially those legendary mages who were already severely injured, looked even worse, with a hint of fear on their faces. At this moment, they actually chose to die, heading towards the nearest Morning Star Wizard...

Those legendary mages and archmages who were still in relatively good condition, their eyes gleaming, looked towards the blue and white stars, then towards the distant horizon, preparing for their escape. (End of Chapter)
