Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 200 Red Dragon God Chassa, the Gate of Demons

Ye Sinan moved through the dense branches without hindrance and easily reached the center of the island, disappearing into it without looking back.

As her figure disappeared, the pillar of light visibly shrank.

The wizards on the island who noticed this scene all had their pupils shrink. They all understood that the number of people who could enter the second level was limited. Their expressions changed, and they immediately mustered their strength and rushed towards the pillar of light.

"There's even a limit on the number of participants."

Pei Ze clicked his tongue.

Faced with the onslaught of countless branches, most wizards initially opted for a safer approach, cautiously moving closer to the pillar of light.

But as soon as the limit on the number of people was announced, these people seemed to have been stepped on, and they hurriedly sped up their pace.

After all, no one knows how many more people can get into the beam of light. If you're even a step too slow, you could be eliminated.

Pei Ze didn't dare to delay any longer and casually added two more ancient runes to Yin Xing.

The metal spikes surrounding him suddenly crackled with lightning, and his speed increased dramatically. The branches that came near were burned to ashes by the raging electric snakes.

Before long, Pei Ze also arrived at the location of the pillar of light and, without stopping, transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into it.

A blinding light instantly filled the field of vision.

When the light faded, Pei Ze looked around and found himself in a wilderness, surrounded by twenty or thirty wizards.

Gong Quan Hai and Yin Yao were among them.

Upon seeing Pei Ze, the two were somewhat surprised, not expecting that Pei Ze would break through the obstruction of those branches and reach the second level so quickly.

However, after their initial surprise, the two of them didn't seem to care much.

Reaching the second level faster doesn't necessarily mean anything. There are still many wizards who are clearly stronger, but choose to conserve their power and proceed cautiously for the challenges ahead.

In contrast, the weaker wizards exerted all their strength to rush forward and reached the second level much faster.

In general, the first layer is more about weeding out those who are not strong enough, and it does not highlight who is stronger.

The later tower levels are where a person's true strength is tested.

Pei Ze didn't care about the gazes of others; his attention was completely drawn to the scenery in the distance.

At the edge of the wilderness, a massive figure, as large as a mountain range, came into view.

It was a giant dragon, its entire body crimson red!

It lay motionless on the ground, its wings drooping softly at its sides, looking as if it were asleep or already dead.

After all, there was absolutely no sign of life emanating from it.

Even so, its towering body, stretching for thousands of meters and covered in crimson scales, still exudes an extremely heavy sense of oppression.

It's like an unarmed child facing a prehistoric beast.

Even though they were several kilometers apart, everyone present still felt a tightness in their chest, as if a heavy boulder had rolled down from their hearts, giving them the illusion that they couldn't breathe.

"What is that?" one wizard couldn't help but ask. "A red dragon?"

Immediately, someone retorted, "Impossible! Even ancient dragons that have lived for over a thousand years wouldn't be that enormous!"

Many people nodded in agreement.

Even a red dragon at the level of an ancient dragon would only be at level five or six at most, and it would be impossible for it to exert such enormous pressure on them from such a distance.

That's something that only a wizard of the rule level could achieve!

As for illusions, that's even more impossible.

Even a master wizard probably couldn't cast such a powerful and realistic illusion!

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Red Dragon God Chassa, one of Tiamat's five divine forms!"

A tall, burly man suddenly spoke up, instantly silencing the surrounding chatter.

Pei Ze turned his head and heard the whispers of others, among which were the words "Fei Xian".

Fei Xian? The chosen one who supposedly has the blood of the ancient creature Selassie flowing through his veins?

I heard that he is considered one of the most likely candidates to win this year's Holy Ring Battle.

As soon as Fei Xian spoke, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"The Red Dragon God Chassa? How did it end up here?"

"Could it be that he was killed and imprisoned here by the owner of this wizard's tower?"

"Very likely. No wonder we haven't heard from Chassa since the Dark Ages!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Tiamat is the five-colored dragon god, the king of evil dragons.

The so-called five-colored dragons are the red dragon, black dragon, blue dragon, green dragon, and white dragon, which are generally considered to be evil dragons.

Tiamat thus has five different divine forms, which are equivalent to five incarnations.

He appears as the Red Dragon God before the Red Dragon followers, as the Black Dragon God before the Black Dragon followers, and so on.

Tiamat is a high deity, with power approaching that of a god above gods, making her virtually impossible to destroy or imprison.

Therefore, the one here can only be one of his incarnations.

Even though it was just an avatar, it possessed power approaching that of a mid-level deity, yet it was imprisoned here. This couldn't possibly be the work of a wizard from the Astral Alliance, since there had never been any record of any wizard from the Astral Alliance killing the Red Dragon God Chassa. It could only have been done by the original owner of this wizard tower.

This demonstrates the power of the original owner of the Wizard Tower!

Pei Ze also clicked his tongue in amazement, but his gaze quickly fell on the pillar of light beside the red dragon god Chassa.

Clearly, that was the passage leading to the third level.

The content of the test is also quite obvious.

The oppressive aura of the Red Dragon God Chassa was so astonishing that it nearly suffocated them even from several kilometers away, which shows what kind of pressure they would experience if they got close.

The content of this challenge is obviously to enter the pillar of light while enduring the oppressive power of the red dragon god Chassa.

This is a great test of a wizard's mental strength and skill in protecting their mind.

Wizards with strong mental strength and expertise in mental defense clearly have an advantage in this challenge.

The surrounding wizards hesitated.

But at that moment, Fei Xian suddenly stepped out from the crowd and flew slowly toward the red dragon god Chassa.

As he moved forward, thick scales, interwoven with black and silver, like dragon scales gradually appeared on his body. A disc-shaped object grew on his head, protecting his head like a shield, its surface radiating a cold metallic luster.

"The Selassie bloodline!" a wizard whispered.

Pei Ze's expression shifted, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

Legend has it that the Serasi is a brutal and ruthless ancient creature, resembling a lean feline carnivore magnified more than ten times, but far more ferocious and powerful.

Their diet includes dragons—that alone speaks volumes about the ferocity of the Selassie!

In addition, Serathina's thick scales possess extremely strong spell resistance, especially against elemental spells.

Similarly, Selassie's scales can also play a significant role in mental protection.

Fei Xian's steps were not fast, but steady and powerful, and the distance between him and the red dragon god Chassa was visibly shortening.

Fei Xian's actions also spurred the other wizards, who no longer hesitated and began to act.

Instantly, the wizards displayed their skills, some casting protective spells, others wielding magical artifacts, and gritted their teeth as they rushed toward the pillar of light.

Among them, besides Fei Xian, there was a man and a woman who stood out the most.

The man was tall and thin, looking somewhat frail, but the dense wind element surrounding him, almost tangible, demonstrated his power to everyone.

As the man moved forward, the wind element quickly transformed into a cyan hurricane, completely enveloping him and resisting the dragon's might from all directions.

Seeing this, even the wizards who didn't recognize the man guessed his identity.

Wen Huachun, the representative wizard of Silver Creek City, is also one of the most promising chosen ones to win this Holy Ring War. It is said that he has already mastered the Heart of the Wind Element.

The girl on the other side was Ye Sinan, who was also a seeded player in this year's Holy Ring Battle.

She held a sapling, only twenty centimeters tall and lush green, tightly against her chest.

A layer of misty green light flowed from the sapling, covering the girl's entire body.

This sapling is clearly a magical artifact, and its rank is definitely not low.

Protected by the green light, Ye Sinan moved forward as if taking a leisurely stroll, her speed even faster than Fei Xian and Wen Huachun.

The wizards other than these three were not so relaxed.

The closer they got to the red dragon god Chassa, the heavier the dragon's might they felt.

Most wizards started off relatively easily, but after walking a third of the way, their faces gradually changed, they struggled to walk, were covered in sweat, and found it extremely difficult to take each step forward.

Some of the weaker wizards had stopped in their tracks, their faces pale and their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Even third-level crystallization wizards like Gong Quanhai and Yin Yao began to feel the strain when they reached the last third of the journey. They could only continuously manipulate elemental energy particles to surround themselves and cast various protective spells.

However, most protective spells focus on defending against energy damage, and their effectiveness in protecting the mind is negligible.

There are very few spells specifically designed to resist mental attacks.

Unless they are preparing to deal with a specific enemy, few wizards would specifically learn this spell.

Therefore, most of the wizards present could only endure the dragon's might of the red dragon god Chassa.

This stage primarily tests the participants' mental fortitude.

Wizards below the third level of crystallization are almost certain to be eliminated without special methods.

Just as Gong Quan Hai was gritting his teeth and resisting Long Wei, he suddenly heard a surprised exclamation.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Yin Yao staring in astonishment at the left front.

Puzzled, Gong Quan Hai followed his gaze and stared in astonishment.

About twenty meters to their left, Pei Ze suddenly appeared in front of them.

His entire body was somehow tinged with a shimmering silver light, and he was surrounded by a faint energy field. He walked forward as if he were strolling in his own backyard, looking incredibly relaxed and carefree.

Judging from his appearance, he was even more at ease than Wen Huachun, Fei Xian, and Ye Sinan!

"What happened?"

Gong Quan Hai and Yin Yao exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

In their minds, Pei Ze was definitely not capable of passing the second level.

Judging from the current situation, Pei Ze not only passed the second level, but also handled it more easily than they did!

"Could it be that Pei Ze has already broken through to the third level of crystallization?"

"How is that possible? He's only been a little over a year since he became a level three wizard, how could he have reached the crystallization stage so quickly?"

Gong Quan Hai and Yin Yao were both incredulous for a moment.

They had a vague feeling that they had underestimated Pei Ze.

At the same time, Wen Huachun and the other two also focused their attention on Pei Ze.

Ye Sinan immediately recognized Pei Ze as the wizard who had carved a path through the sea of ​​branches, and a strange light flashed in her emerald eyes.

One instance could be an exception, but two consecutive outstanding performances are enough to demonstrate that this person is quite capable.

I don't know which wizard city this person is from. In the intelligence I collected before, among the opponents that I marked as important, I don't think there was such a person mentioned.

"This is... a gold engraving!" Fei Xian's gaze sharpened slightly.

"That's right." Wen Huachun looked at Pei Ze not far away with great interest. "A kind of alchemical engraving called an energy field."

"As for that silver skin, it should be the effect of some kind of magical artifact, somewhat like Silver Star. However, I remember that Silver Star doesn't seem to have the ability to fuse with its wielder. But that's not necessarily true. Silver Star has extremely strong growth potential, and its evolved abilities vary depending on the cultivation method. Perhaps this is a unique cultivation method that the other party has researched. It's really interesting."

Fei Xian glanced at Wen Huachun, whose eyes were shining as he muttered to himself.

He had known Wen Huachun for many years and knew that the latter was very knowledgeable. Since he said so, he was probably right.

Fei Xian immediately lost interest.

I thought he was a formidable opponent, but it turned out he was just a guy who easily passed the level by relying on alchemical engravings and witchcraft.

Although wizards do not resist using external objects to enhance their own strength, enhancement is still based on a foundation, and the foundation of a crystal wizard is mental power and the degree of control over elemental power.

In this Holy Ring Battle, the only two people he should take seriously are Wen Huachun and Ye Sinan.

Fei Xian withdrew his gaze and continued forward.

Wen Huachun, on the other hand, seemed quite interested in the alchemical markings and magical artifacts on Pei Ze's body, occasionally casting scrutinizing glances at him.

Pei Ze ignored the stares around him and walked forward leisurely.

Once the Energy Field Alchemy Mark is activated, it can form a temporary defensive force field that can block damage from all directions, including but not limited to physical attacks, elemental damage, mental attacks, and psychological attacks.

This alchemical engraving is precisely what counters the dragon's might.

With the added protection of Silver Star, the dragon's power's suppression of Pei Ze was greatly weakened.

With his current physique, which is close to that of an eighth-tier legendary being, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to withstand it.

Before long, Pei Ze was the first to arrive at the pillar of light.

He didn't go in immediately, but instead looked at the red dragon god Chassa beside him, a burning glint in his eyes.

The bodies and blood of gods are extremely rare materials, and dragons are known for being treasures from head to toe. The red dragon god Chassa possesses both the identities of a god and a dragon, and any piece of his body is a precious material that people would covet.

However, Pei Ze ultimately suppressed the thought in his heart.

This is, after all, inside the Tower of the Holy Rings; the Alliance certainly won't allow participants to do as they please.

With a sigh of regret, Pei Ze withdrew his gaze and stepped into the pillar of light without looking back.

A dazzling light instantly filled the field of vision.

The moment his vision returned, Pei Ze looked around.

What came into view was a void space, boundless like a starry sky, but without stars or the Milky Way, only a blood-red color.

In the far distance, one can vaguely see a meteorite streaking across the sky, its tail of flame trailing behind it, before it falls to an unknown destination.

Pei Ze is currently in a circular plaza, covering an area of ​​approximately 20,000 to 30,000 square meters.

There are roughly a hundred similar plazas in the space.

As the light flashed, wizards appeared one after another in different squares.

Once all the squares were occupied by wizards, eight perfectly round, milky-white orbs of light suddenly appeared in the void above everyone's heads, emanating a rich spatial aura.

Before the wizards could figure out the purpose of these milky-white orbs, a sudden change occurred.

Almost simultaneously, a massive, blood-red gate, hundreds of meters high and over thirty meters wide, appeared out of thin air in every plaza. Eight wide-open, icy eyes were embedded in the frame, exuding a sinister and eerie aura.

A faint, beast-like roar could be heard coming from behind the door.

"What is this?"

"Is it a dimensional portal, some kind of summoning spell?"

"Wait, that smell...it's sulfur!"

The sudden turn of events caused the wizards to become solemn. After smelling the pervasive stench of sulfur in the air, they immediately made a guess, and their expressions became even more solemn.

As if to confirm everyone's guess, the first eyeball on the right side of the frame of all the blood-red giant gates suddenly closed.

At the same time, the crimson gate opened with a rumble, and a hideous monster rushed out from it.

"roar!"

The monster was tall and muscular, somewhat like a gargoyle, but with small horns and ears resembling those of a bat.

Its fangs and claws are long and sharp, its wings and skin are covered in scales, its back and limbs are jet black, and only its chest and abdomen are a pale dark gray.

"Soul Flayer!"

Pei Ze immediately recognized the monster's origin; it was indeed a demon from the hell of Bathor!

Soul-stealing demons belong to the mid-to-high-level demon tier.

Adult Soul Reapers possess the power to liquefy to crystallize at the second level. They are swift, cruel, and cunning, and have the ability to change the color of their bodies at will. They are notorious ruthless hunters in Hell.

The Soul-Plundering Demon before them was undoubtedly an adult, and judging from the information fed back by the All-Knowing Eye, its power level was approximately at the second level of crystallization.

This level of strength was nothing to Pei Ze. He didn't even need to use Silver Star; a single lightning bolt was enough to turn the Soul-Plundering Demon into charred remains.

Other squares had similar scenes.

Wizards who can reach the third level are all quite powerful. A mere second-level crystallized Soul-Plundering Demon poses no threat to them whatsoever and can be killed effortlessly.

However, no one showed any signs of relaxation; everyone remained solemn.

They all knew that this was just an appetizer, and the test on the third level would be far more difficult.

And that is indeed the case.

The second eye on the right side of the crimson gate quickly closed, a roar accompanied by the heavy sound of hooves, and then a tall figure rushed out from behind the gate.

The newly appeared monster has a centaur-like body and wears a complex full-body armor that completely covers both the human and horse bodies, with only a few tufts of short, stiff hair peeking out from the gaps in the armor.

The exposed face was pale and sickly, and was oozing a nauseating yellowish-green pus.

"Iron Cavalry Demon!"

Pei Ze raised an eyebrow. This was a notoriously warlike race among demons, with both males and females finding pleasure in fighting.

A single Ironclad Demon's combat power is approximately at the third level of vaporization, but even a third-level liquefaction wizard would find it quite troublesome to face an Ironclad Demon.

"roar!"

The Iron Cavalry Demon roared to the sky, brandishing its heavy flail as it charged towards Pei Ze, only to be shredded into a cloud of blood mist by the metallic storm formed by the Silver Star.

By this time, Pei Ze had a basic understanding of the functions of the Crimson Giant Gate.

This giant gate is essentially a summoning circle connecting to hell, and the eight eyeballs on the door frame represent the number of times it can be summoned.

Each time an eye is closed, a demon is summoned from the crimson gate.

Moreover, their strength level increases with each iteration.

Secondary crystallization, tertiary vaporization, and next should be tertiary liquefaction, followed by tertiary crystallization.

As Pei Ze had predicted, the two creatures summoned afterward were the Ape Demon and the Evil Spirit Demon, and their combat power was as he had expected.

"What level of demon will appear on the fifth attempt?"

Pei Ze stared intently at the crimson giant gate.

The same applies to other wizards.

If we follow the rule of increasing levels, wouldn't the fifth demon be at level four?

This is obviously impossible.

That wouldn't be a test, it would be a massacre!

Since it's not an increase in rank, it's most likely an increase in quantity.

Sure enough, the next moment, three enormous, bloated creatures flew out of the giant gate.

An indescribable stench spread instantly, causing the wizards to frown.

However, they paid no attention to that, their eyes fixed on the monster in front of them.

The newly appeared demon had only a deformed face the size of a carriage. Where ears should have been, a pair of withered arms were replaced. Its body below the neck was replaced by a large mass of twisted folds and pipes. Four iron chains with sharp spikes at the ends extended from its body, hanging straight down and swaying as it moved.

"Giant Skull Demon!" a wizard exclaimed in a low voice.

Both the Giant Skull Demon and the Evil Spirit Demon belong to the third level of crystallization. They possess extremely astonishing vitality and have spell-like abilities similar to mind-bomb, making them very troublesome to deal with.

The simultaneous appearance of the three giant skull demons posed a difficult challenge for most of the wizards present.

Instantly fierce battles erupted in hundreds of squares, with deafening roars filling the air.

Pei Ze stood calmly in place, without making any move. The metal spikes floating in front of him suddenly multiplied from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to a thousand. Then, three ancient runes appeared at the same time, turning into lightning and wrapping around the metal spikes.

In the next instant, countless metal spikes swept out, engulfing the three giant-headed demons like a storm!

In a single encounter, the three giant skull demons were reduced to ashes, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Gong Quan Hai, who happened to witness this scene from the square diagonally behind Pei Ze, stared wide-eyed in shock, his expression one of disbelief.
