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

Chapter 179 Frontal War
Chapter 179

Lynn was initially curious as to why Qi hadn't contacted him yet, wondering if he was planning a large-scale plunder of faith.

However, when Qi brought him to the front of this magnificent and vast temple, even he couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

The temple of one of the seven stars!
In this battlefield known as the Thirteenth Expedition World, the Goddess's army is incredibly powerful, with numerous strong warriors.

However, among countless strong individuals, there are clear distinctions of rank.

At the highest level, without a doubt, is the goddess of magic who descended.

Below her were the seven legendary mages, revered as the "Seven Stars".

They held a high position, possessing seven divine artifacts bestowed upon them by the Goddess of the Magic Network. Each guarded a region and ruled over a vast faith system.

And now, Qi has actually brought me to the temple of this mage, Bed, one of the Seven Stars?!

Lynn raised an eyebrow, and an absurd yet highly impactful thought involuntarily surfaced in his mind:
Could it be that he'll witness a peak battle between Morning Star Wizards today?!
Lynn had considerable confidence in Qi's combat abilities.

If faced with the projection of the Goddess of the Magic Network descending, it would be difficult to determine who would be stronger.

However, even a mere Morning Star wizard, or even a legendary mage second only to Morning Star, would probably not be a match for Qi!
However, if Qi really does kill that legendary mage Bede here tonight, it will undoubtedly set off a storm that will shake the entire plane of the world!

Even the goddess of magic networks herself would be alarmed by this!
But just as Lynn's thoughts were churning, Qi seemed to see right through his reverie and spoke calmly:

"This is a rare opportunity, as a legendary mage is not in his temple."

"Huh? Not here?"

Lynn paused slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Master Bedre isn't here?!
But if he really isn't here, then what's with the blue and white starlight that permeates this temple?

Lynn's gaze sharpened slightly as the scene of one of the Seven Stars, the mage Ling, wielding a divine artifact flashed through his mind:

The blue and white stars blotted out the sun and suppressed all directions; that scene still leaves a deep impression on him to this day.

The Goddess of the Magic Network possesses a total of seven Star Artifacts, with each of the seven stars clearly controlling one.

Just as he was pondering, Qi calmly gave his answer:
"The power of faith here is the nourishment that sustains these Seven Star Divine Artifacts."

"The artifacts are still in the process of reviving. At present, only Master Ling's artifact has truly completed its awakening."

"However, correspondingly, his temple has completely absorbed the power of faith and is of no value to us."

Qi's tone remained calm and composed. Then, he turned and strode forward, saying indifferently:
"Let's go."

“Mage Bedard should have already joined forces with Mage Ring to launch an attack on the wizard army.”

"We must seize this opportunity to steal the power of faith from the artifact before it fully awakens!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn's eyes flickered slightly. He had barely left when the wizarding army went to war. If he were caught, that wouldn't be a good thing...

But now was not the time to think about those things. He pressed his chest down again, took a deep breath, and followed Qi's figure into the temple.

Tonight, he hoped to have a big meal, and with the help of the maple tree, steal enough spiritual energy from the Spirit of the Azure Sky to improve himself...

Even though the real-life mage Bedd is not here, the temple is still guarded by the artifact of the Goddess of the Magic Network.

Therefore, the defenses here are impregnable, with countless clergy walking among them, creating a solemn and imposing atmosphere.

The main gate of the temple alone is guarded by two fifth-circle mages, both of whom are equivalent to second-level wizards in the wizarding system.

Not to mention the powerful clergy hidden in the shadows, the arrays of spells spread all around, and the traps that could be activated at any moment—all of them are layers of deadly intent!
However, Qi seemed not to regard these threats at all; he walked gracefully straight toward the temple.

As he was about to step into the temple grounds, he simply snapped his fingers.

Ding!
In an instant, a cool autumn breeze appeared out of nowhere, and a faint chill spread from the temple gate.

Along with the cool breeze, one fiery red maple leaf after another drifted down from the sky.

The wind swept up the crimson clouds, seemingly adding a touch of poignant beauty to this sacred and solemn temple.

However, these maple leaves are no ordinary things!
Inside the Seven Star Temple, the falling autumn leaves were already an unusual occurrence.

Almost instantly, an alert clergyman looked up, frowning and issuing a warning:

"Huh? Be careful!"

"Something's wrong! There's an enemy..."

However, their voices had not yet completely faded when they suddenly stopped!
The next second, their figures seemed to be frozen in a painting, motionless, their eyes still filled with lingering vigilance.

And in that brief instant...

Whoosh!
Their figures vanished suddenly!
There were no screams, no struggles, no energy fluctuations; it was as if the entire world had quietly erased them, leaving no sound!
They... were swallowed up by the falling maple leaves!

Meanwhile, the red leaves continue to drift leisurely, carrying a touch of dreamlike color, just like a scene from nature.

No one knew that all the clergy had perished.

One step, and everything is annihilated.

But the journey never faltered; it continued with composure.

Maple leaves slowly unfurled beneath his feet, and he walked upon them as if traversing a crimson corridor leading to a temple.

Lynn stood there, his eyes filled with undisguised shock!
The maple leaves fell gently, and the enemy vanished without a trace. It was a swift and decisive victory!

As he gazed intently at the falling maple leaves, he was struck by the sight of the clergy reflected among them!

Their expressions remained wary, yet they were unable to move, as if imprisoned in an eternal cage!
Is this the Morning Star Wizard's method?!
Lynn gasped. No matter how many times he had watched it, his heart was still filled with shock.

"Hiss... Under the morning star, there really is a world of difference, like heaven and earth..."

With just a snap of his fingers, autumn leaves fell one by one, instantly engulfing all the guards in front of the temple...

This is no longer a crushing defeat in terms of strength, but a dimensional reduction attack in terms of rules!
Lynn's heart was churning with emotions. He knew all too well that when a third-level wizard apprentice broke through to become a full-fledged wizard, he would undergo a fundamental transformation.

When a Level 3 Archmage breaks through to the Morning Star Wizard level, they will also undergo a fundamental evolution!
This is why the gap between a Morning Star Wizard and a Level 3 Arch Wizard is even greater than the gap between a formal wizard and an apprentice!
He murmured in a low voice:

“In some expedition planes, the Morning Star Wizards are already supreme beings, deities.”

At this moment, his eyes held not only shock, but also a hint of hidden ambition!

Once you step into the realm of the Morning Star Wizard, the scenery you see will be breathtaking.

If he can gain something tonight, he will be one step closer to becoming a Morning Star Wizard...

……………………………… In the dead of night, the cold wind was like a knife, and the darkness was thick.

The bright moonlight pierced through the thick clouds, casting faint silver rays that outlined blurry shadows on the desolate earth.

However, this originally dark and deep night was torn apart by a sudden burst of light!

boom! !

With a deafening roar, beams of brilliant light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire world!

The intense energy surged forth, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. Even the patterns on the withered grass on the ground were clearly visible, and the dust particles in the air cast faint shadows under the intense light.

War broke out!

After a standoff lasting more than a month, the wizard army and the goddess army finally clashed head-on for the first time!

boom!
boom!
boom!
Between heaven and earth, a torrent of colorful energy collided and intertwined, transforming into a destructive wave that swept across the battlefield.

That was the magical energy released by wizards, the spell fluctuations cast by mages, the earth-shattering elemental storm, and the divine brilliance that shook the heavens and the earth!

Each collision was enough to make the earth tremble and the sky roar.

This is a vast and boundless war!

On the wizarding army's side, the total number of wizards and wizarding apprentices alone, plus the densely packed mechanical puppets, has reached millions, or even tens of millions!

The goddess army was equally impressive, with countless mages summoning elemental creatures and contracted magical beasts.

On the battlefield, colossal creatures roared and howled, unleashing terrifying energy surges, numbering in the tens of millions!
The sheer scale of the war led to the division of the entire battlefield into ten war zones.

Every war zone was a catastrophe of earth-shattering magnitude!

The Thirteenth War Fortress, one of the command centers of the wizard army.

At this moment, in the high command room of the war fortress, the great wizard Yud and the great wizard Earl stood side by side.

Their gazes, projected through the magical screen, were fixed on the bloody and intense battle outside, their brows furrowed with worry.

Because the situation is not good right now!
Compared with other war fortresses, Fortress No. 13 has a significant gap in manpower and individual combat strength, and the battle line is now showing obvious signs of collapse.

On the battlefield, the wizard legion suffered a series of defeats. One after another, the summoned elemental towers collapsed with a deafening roar, and the burning mechanical golems were ignited by the enemy's holy flames, turning into scrap metal and falling to the ground.

Conversely, the goddess army pressed forward relentlessly, its magical torrents radiating dazzling divine light as they devoured the wizards' positions.

The Grand Wizard Yud's face was ashen, his eyes blazing with fury. He abruptly waved his hand and shouted:
"fire!!"

However, the wizard who was given the order changed his expression slightly, hesitated for a moment, and seemed to want to dissuade him.

Firing at this moment would not be a wise move.

On the vast battlefield, our troops and the enemy's troops were already locked in fierce fighting. If artillery fire were to be launched at this moment, although it could kill or wound the enemy, it would also be very likely to accidentally injure our own troops!

This is a completely meaningless outburst, not a genuine strategic strike!
But the great wizard Yud's face was so ugly that he looked like he wanted to kill someone, and the violent magical energy emanating from his body made the other wizard not dare to utter a word.

Just then, the great wizard Earl slowly spoke, his voice deep and solemn:
"Don't rush."

His gaze was calm and profound as he stared at the front lines of the battlefield, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he said:

"The first front is performing poorly... In that case, we will not proceed according to the original plan."

"Release the 'Titan Giant' ahead of schedule!"

The air froze instantly!

"Use Titan now?"

The great wizard Yud frowned deeply, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

The Titans are extremely resource-intensive, and each deployment is a huge drain on strategic resources, so it is essential to seize the most opportune moment!
But the great wizard Earl simply nodded calmly, his tone leaving no room for argument:
"The battle situation cannot be delayed; execute immediately."

As soon as the order from the High Wizard Yud was relayed, the remote deployment system of War Fortress No. 13 was activated instantly.

A beam of azure light suddenly shone forth, like lightning tearing through the darkness, blasting the Titan giant inlaid with azure fragments into the battlefield!

Rumble!
Like a giant meteorite, this enormous, bluish-gray object tumbled several times in mid-air, carrying a terrifying impact, before crashing down onto the earth!
The earth cracked open, and dust billowed into the sky!
As the smoke and dust cleared, an incomparably majestic war machine stood in the center of the battlefield.

It is hundreds of meters tall!

The massive mechanical body is like a mobile steel fortress, with ancient magical runes engraved on every inch of its metal surface.

On his chest, a blue seal pattern flickered faintly, emitting a deep and terrifying energy fluctuation.

"Full speed ahead!"

Inside the command center, the mechanical wizards quickly adjusted the energy circuits, and the Titan's heavy mechanical body began to vibrate.

Mechanical and magical forces intertwine, and wisps of blue flames burn at the giant's joints, propelling it forward to take its first earth-shattering step!
The energy consumed by operating such a behemoth is simply staggering!
Just activating it once is enough to consume countless magic stones!

The internal controls alone require the full cooperation of two hundred mechanical wizards!

Inside the core control room of this war behemoth, Vincent and Millie, two powerful late-stage level two wizards, were intently controlling the mechanical war god!

"If we can crush a million mages in one go, the shame of our past defeat can be completely washed away!"

Vincent's gaze was cold, his voice was deep and thunderous, his hands gripped the control panel tightly, and his magical energy surged wildly within him, injecting into the Titan's neural network!

Millie's eyes were also burning with fervor, her fingers rapidly sliding across the control panel, sending out a series of commands!
boom!
The Titan strode forward, like a moving steel mountain, and crashed headlong into the goddess's army!

Unstoppable force, overwhelming power!
However, the goddess army was well prepared for such a behemoth!
Although this is their first time facing a Titan, they have previously fought against dragons, Titans, and ancient beasts, and have very sophisticated tactics for dealing with giant creatures!
"Use Earth Transformation Spell! Turn the ground into quicksand and swamp to restrict its movement!"

"A war machine of this size can't move too fast; we need to hold it back!"

"Summon the sea giants! Giants against giants, opening a second front!"

Clear commands were swiftly issued from the battlefield command center, and spellcasters from all sides responded immediately!
Rumble!
A torrent of spells converged, and violent magical energy surged like a tidal wave!

The earthquake trembled, and mud and sand churned!
However, just as the goddess's army of witchcraft was about to erupt, Vincent and Millie inside the Titans were already prepared!

Their goal is not gradual progress, but... a brutal crushing victory!
"Activate the Bluestone Core!"

"Unleash 80% of our energy! Charge straight into the enemy lines!"

"Weapon systems ready! Unleash devastating strike!"

As a series of commands were relayed, the cyan seal on the Titan's chest burst forth with a blinding light, and terrifying energy surged and gathered in its arms and core engine!
boom! ! !
The Titan suddenly accelerated, like a blue cannonball, carrying devastating impact, and madly charged towards the goddess's army!
