Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 80 Just how many crows does this kid have?

"Abep's corrosive power?"

Pei Ze's eyes flickered slightly, a glint of light flashing within them.

In less than a minute, hundreds of fog crows died.

The sheer power of the combination of corrosive and earth elemental forces surprised him slightly.

However, I was only slightly surprised.

The power of the earth element grants the Drunkard for great defense; no matter how many wounds the Mist Raven inflicts on his rocky body, he can recover in an instant as long as he sets his feet on the ground.

The power of corrosion is also very effective against incorruptible creatures like the Mist Raven; it can instantly kill any creature that touches it.

There is no doubt that both of these abilities are extremely challenging.

However, they are not without flaws.

Neither the power of earth nor the power of corrosion possesses the ability to cause explosive, wide-range damage.

Once you're facing a large number of enemies, you can only clear them out slowly.

This is also why Pei Ze didn't engage in close combat with Li Ke, nor did he allow Wu Yu to fuse with the Mist Raven and grow to a gigantic size.

He wants to wage a war of attrition against Li Ke.

Even the greatest power has its limits. Once we exhaust Li Ke's power, he will be much easier to deal with.

Li Ke also saw through Pei Ze's plan and secretly sneered in his heart.

A mere level three wizard apprentice dared to try and outlast him; he was simply courting death!

The strength of a wizard apprentice compared to a knight lies in the explosive power of their spells; once they are caught in a battle of attrition, it means they are not far from defeat.

Could a wizard apprentice's mental strength possibly be more abundant than his physical strength and elemental power?

Even with the addition of magical pets, the result will be the same!

"I'd like to see how many more magical creatures you can summon!"

Li Ke's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly clenched his fist and punched forward. A visible, earthy-yellow fist force surged out in an instant, like a shockwave, shredding and killing off the crows and carving out a large blank area in the flock.

At least thirty or forty fog crows died from this attack.

Su Ya and Peng Yan, who were not far away, changed their expressions slightly upon seeing this.

Li Ke gave a cold smile.

But the next second, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

As soon as Wu Yu stood on Pei Ze's shoulder, black energy surged around him, and a large swarm of densely packed mist crows flew out from within, joining the siege of Li Ke.

The once sparse flock of crows quickly became dense again.

Li Ke's cheek twitched, and he snorted coldly as he continued to hunt down the crows.

Pei Ze then raised his hand and unleashed a weakening ray at Li Ke.

Elemental power has a certain resistance to spells. When the Weakening Ray hits Rik, its effect is significantly weakened, and its duration is only three or four minutes.

He had to replenish Li Ke's "debuff status" every now and then.

After the weakening ray hit, Pei Ze prepared briefly and then fired another spell missile.

With Pei Ze and Wu Yu's telepathic cooperation, the crows were always able to precisely clear a flight path for the spell missiles, hitting Li Ke.

After being hit by four or five spell missiles in succession, Li Ke was not injured, but the pale yellow light on his body had dimmed a bit.

Annoyed by Pei Ze's attacks, he simply charged at Pei Ze despite the crows' onslaught.

However, it wasn't until the attack was about to hit him that Li Ke was shocked to discover that Pei Ze in front of him was just an illusion.

"You cunning brat!"

Li Ke was so angry that he gritted his teeth and decisively abandoned his futile attempt.

With the crows as cover, Pei Ze could completely conceal his whereabouts with a silent phantom at any time, making it impossible for the other to touch his true form.

"Once I've dealt with these crows, let's see where you can hide then!"

Li Ke secretly hardened his heart and accelerated the pace of exterminating the crows.

Under his fierce onslaught, the rate at which the fog crows died skyrocketed.

Watching the game, Su Ya and Peng Yan clenched their fists instinctively, their white knuckles revealing their inner tension and unease.

But as time went by, the two of them gradually began to show signs of doubt.

Since the start of the battle, Li Ke has killed at least seven or eight hundred fog crows, but the flock of crows besieging him has not decreased significantly.

Looking at the mist feather on Pei Ze's shoulder, it seems that the mist crows flying out of its body have never stopped.

How many crows are still inside it?

Su Ya and Peng Yan had the same thought flash through their minds simultaneously.

They had witnessed Mist Feather's ability to summon Mist Ravens many times before, but only now did they suddenly realize that they seemed to have never seen the maximum number of ravens before.

Even when dealing with more than twenty heretics, Pei Ze only summoned five or six hundred mist crows.

I thought that was the limit of Pei Ze's summoned magical pets, but now it seems that it is far more than that.

Li Ke was equally surprised and uncertain.

At this moment, he had already consumed most of his elemental power, but the flock of crows around him was still extremely dense, almost occupying the entire field of vision.

At this point, he finally realized that something was wrong.

"Damn it! Just how many crows does this kid have?"

Li Ke was filled with shock and anger, along with a hint of panic.

Things have gotten so far that they're beyond his control.

At this moment, he no longer felt confident of victory; only shock and doubt remained in his heart.

After a fierce battle, having killed over a hundred crows, Rick realized that the flock showed no signs of decreasing. His last glimmer of hope vanished, and he began to consider retreating.

This kid named Pei Ze is a monster!

Despite being only sixteen years old, he is more powerful than those veterans who have been accumulating experience at the third-level wizard apprentice level for many years!

If we continue fighting him, we might end up losing in an unexpected way.

He certainly wanted to leave the North District, but it wasn't worth risking his life for it.

It's best to leave as soon as possible.

As for the agreement with Huo Nan, to hell with it!

He could just continue hiding in the North District; he didn't believe those wizards could keep the North District sealed off forever.

In a flash, Li Ke made up his mind and began to break out in the opposite direction from Pei Ze.

Pei Ze noticed Li Ke's actions immediately, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"So you're planning to run away already?"

"Wasn't I supposed to dedicate my soul to Abep?"

"Or is your loyalty to your so-called god only to this extent?"

"But then again, it's just a broken rock after all."

"You!!" Li Ke was furious, his face turning ashen with rage.

But he didn't fall for Pei Ze's provocation. He just glared at the latter and continued his breakout attempt.

Pei Ze shook his head secretly.

Abep's business skills are lacking.

A mid-level cadre of a religious sect, whose faith has been insulted in this way, can actually swallow his anger.

This level of faith doesn't seem to be very high.

While secretly grumbling to himself, Pei Ze's hands did not stop moving. With a slight thought, Wu Yu finally went all out, and a large amount of black mist suddenly surged from his body.

Whoosh!

The black mist shot straight into the sky like a column of smoke, and thousands of crows burst out of the mist, pouring down from the sky like a torrent, their target Li Ke.

Seeing the flock of crows that blotted out the sky, Li Ke was immediately horrified.

By now, he finally understood that he had fallen for Pei Ze's trick.

This kid clearly has so many magical pet derivatives, but he's been keeping them hidden and not summoning them. Instead, he's slowly consuming his power like a frog being boiled in lukewarm water.

Otherwise, if he had known from the beginning that Pei Ze had such a large number of magical pet derivatives, he would have turned around and left without saying a word.

Now, he has less than 20% of his elemental power left, and facing the encirclement of thousands of crows, his hope of escape is extremely slim.

"You despicable bastard!"

Amidst Rico's impotent and furious roars, a massive swarm of crows engulfed him like a flood.

Not far away, Su Ya and Peng Yan stared at this scene in disbelief, their mouths dry and they remained stunned for a long time.

They had a vague idea that Pei Ze must have a lot of mist crows, but they never expected that he would have so many.

Look at that dense, creepy number of them, there must be two or three thousand!

You have to understand, those weren't ordinary crows!

Any one of them has the power to crush a high-ranking knight!

More than two thousand magical pet derivatives comparable to peak knights are enough to directly defeat a fully armed city guard army of ten thousand!

For a moment, Peng Yan stared blankly at the misty feather on Pei Ze's shoulder, his astonished gaze as if he were looking at some legendary creature.

Suya was also secretly astonished.

No wonder their knight mentors always spoke of wizards with such longing.

The wizard's methods are truly unpredictable, capable of raising a raven to a level comparable to a legendary knight.

Looking down from above, the wide street appears as if a giant black cocoon has appeared out of nowhere in the middle of it.

A fleeting, yellowish-brown sheen may appear in the center of the black cocoon.

That was Li Ke unleashing his power in an attempt to break through.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

Although each outbreak can kill a large number of fog crows, it is only a drop in the ocean compared to the dense flock of crows.

After several times, the black cocoon quieted down, and no more light flashed.

After more than ten breaths, the crows suddenly dispersed, revealing Rick inside.

The drinker's rocky body had long since vanished, torn to shreds by the raven's claws.

The exposed body was covered in blood and horrifying wounds.

As the crows dispersed, he seemed to lose all his strength, collapsing to the ground, barely alive, no longer possessing the haughty air he had displayed at the beginning.

Pei Ze dispersed the crows, stepped forward to stand in front of Li Ke, and looked down at him.

Meeting Pei Ze's gaze, Li Ke tried to open his mouth wide, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat was blocked by blood, and he could only let out a few muffled groans.

Pei Ze's gaze was deep and unfathomable. With a flick of his wrist, a fine steel longsword fell into his palm.

With a flash of sword light, Li Ke's voice abruptly stopped, his eyes widened, and he fell lifeless.

Thus, the last drinker of Abep's forces in Dawn City died at the hands of Pei Ze.

Watching Pei Ze end Li Ke's life with a single sword strike, Su Ya and Peng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, followed by expressions of genuine joy.

I thought I was going to die here tonight, but I didn't expect Pei Ze to show his power and kill the Mad Drinker, the wizard apprentice that everyone feared!

It's truly amazing!

Watching Pei Ze's figure, Su Ya couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The more she interacted with Pei Ze, the more unfathomable he seemed, with his endless array of methods, making him as enigmatic as a deep pool.

"That's amazing!" Peng Yan, lacking vocabulary, struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter this one sentence.

Su Ya rolled her eyes at him, then walked towards Pei Ze with a bright smile on her face.

"Lord Pei Ze."

Just then, something unexpected happened.

A figure suddenly appeared behind Pei Ze like a ghost, slashing through the air with a sharp sword in hand, striking Pei Ze's nape with lightning speed.

Under the cover of night, the gleaming sword blade shimmered with a faint red light—the power of fire elements!

Su Ya and Peng Yan both paled and screamed a warning.

"careful!!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the sword blade slashed viciously into Pei Ze's neck!

Click!

To everyone's surprise, the expected scene of blood splattering did not occur.

A flash of light appeared on Pei Ze's body, as if an invisible armor had shattered and dispersed in a gentle breeze.

However, the blade was also blocked.

As if he had anticipated this situation, Pei Ze turned around without any panic, and dazzling starlight had gathered at his fingertips.

The next moment, twenty magical missiles appeared out of thin air and rained down on the attackers.

At such close range, the attacker had no time to dodge and was instantly hit by the magic missile.

Even with the protection of elemental power, he was still blasted back by the violent energy fluctuations from the explosion, letting out a muffled groan. He staggered back more than twenty meters before regaining his footing, looking at Pei Ze with a mixture of shock and anger.

"Honan!"

By the moonlight, Su Ya quickly saw the attacker's face and couldn't help but gasp.

Peng Yan was also taken aback.

Huo Nan didn't even glance at the two of them, his gaze fixed on Pei Ze, and he said through gritted teeth, "You knew I was here all along?"

Pei Ze smiled faintly, tapped the recording ring on his finger, and said unhurriedly, "Regardless of whether that drinker killed me or not, you were going to come and retrieve the recording ring, weren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ya and Peng Yan were taken aback, but then they suddenly realized what he meant.

The recording ring has the function of recording images, and in order to prevent evidence from being left behind, Huo Nan will definitely come to retrieve the recording ring.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but feel ashamed.

It's a shame that the two of them, who considered themselves Pei Ze's guards, couldn't even think of this.

Fortunately, Pei Ze had anticipated this, otherwise, if he had been ambushed at his most relaxed moment after killing the Mad Drinker, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After hearing Pei Ze's words, Huo Nan remained silent for a long time. When he spoke again, his tone was as cold as ice.

"You are indeed outstanding, but the more outstanding you are, the more I want to kill you!"
