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

Chapter 188 The Body of a Knight
Chapter 188

On the outer plane, at the edge of the ethereal realm of stars, endless, dreamlike clouds surge ceaselessly.

Lynn, clad in gray eagle armor, sped across the sky.

His figure traced an arc above the sea of ​​clouds, his armor gleaming coldly in the dim light.

Below, there is a vast and boundless sea of ​​clouds.

The cloud was no ordinary object; it was an energy aggregate with characteristics of a dreamlike plane, its color a dim yellow.

Just as Lynn was traveling above this sea of ​​clouds, his speed gradually increased.

boom! ! !
A loud bang suddenly shattered the dreamlike silence of the clouds.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful and fierce aura, surging like a tidal wave, suddenly rose up from below!

The aura, carrying a violent, tearing will, roared out towards Lynn's direction.

Almost the instant the aura exploded, an attack suddenly burst forth from the clouds, aiming straight for Lynn's blind spot behind him with the force of a thunderbolt!
That strike was as fast as lightning and as accurate as an arrow.

The attackers were hidden in the dreamlike clouds, their presence concealed as if it were nothingness, making them impossible to detect.

It wasn't until Lynn flew by that he suddenly sprang into action, choosing the most cunning and unexpected angle to launch his attack.

The speed of this attack was terrifying; in the blink of an eye, it had already closed in on Lynn's back.

If he hadn't been wearing the Gray Eagle Armor and had multiple magical protective marks engraved on his body, this attack would probably have pierced him through!
Even so, Lynn knew that defense alone might not be enough to withstand the destructive power of this attack.

His mind remained constantly alert, his senses swirling around him like spider silk, and he sensed the danger just as the attack was about to strike.

"Starfall Shoes, activate!"

As soon as Lynn had a thought, the Star Shoes on his feet suddenly burst forth with dazzling silver starlight.

In an instant, he seemed to transform into a shooting star, his speed increasing several times over!
boom! !

The fatal attack grazed his shoulder, and the violent energy tore through the void behind him, exploding into a vast expanse of dense dream clouds!
Lynn flipped in the air, his figure still shimmering with starlight, quickly widening the distance between himself and the attacker, then stared intently into the distance.

What slowly rose from the clouds was a gigantic serpent.

Its entire body was a hazy yellow, blending into the dreamy sea of ​​clouds below, making it almost impossible to distinguish with the naked eye.

Only that single, towering horn gleamed with a cold, iron-like luster under the light of the clouds.

This giant serpent was surrounded by the powerful aura of a peak first-level wizard, but its eyes were empty and emotionless, without the slightest fluctuation of intelligence, like a puppet controlled by some kind of rule.

Even though the sneak attack failed, he did not hesitate for a moment and was ready to strike again.

"It's that strange creature again..."

Lynn murmured softly, her expression growing increasingly calm.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen such a creature.

They are not living things, but rather projections of rules born from the dreamlike sea of ​​clouds, a concrete manifestation of some remnant will in the outer plane.

Without hesitation, he focused his mental energy instantly, and a torrent of thoughts surged forth.

"Emerald blade and sturdy spine!"

hum!
As he focused his mind, a green hue suddenly appeared in the previously empty space behind him.

Yvegrid's figure vanished like a phantom.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling green light, seemingly formed from a fusion of emerald vines, sharp thorns, and leaf spears, suddenly pierced the sky!

boom! ! !
Without the slightest pause, the emerald light struck the giant serpent with overwhelming force.

The opponent had no time to completely evade and could only struggle slightly before being pierced by the emerald light under the enormous impact, his body exploding into a sky full of dim yellow mist.

The mist drifted away in the air, eventually returning to the dreamlike clouds, as if it had never existed.

Now that Lynn has reached the mid-stage of a level two wizard, his mental strength is a whopping 249 points.

And the powerful level one sorcery, Emerald Blade Spine, which consumes as much as fifty points, is no longer his trump card.

In regular battles, he could easily use this sorcery as a common attack method.

"Outer space is quite mysterious; it truly lives up to its reputation as the birthplace of the realm of gods..."

As time went by, Lynn now had a much better understanding of this outer space.

However, just as Lynn was about to set off to continue his journey and venture deeper into the Dream Clouds, the situation changed.

His mental energy suddenly tensed up as if startled, fluctuating violently, and warning signs suddenly appeared!
"There is an enemy attack!"

Almost the instant the warning appeared, a terrifying energy wave streaked across the sky like a meteor, slashing down fiercely from the edge of the heavens!

It was a holy angel riding a winged horse, clad in golden armor, with six wings outstretched on his back, the feathers appearing to be formed from holy light.

Holding a longsword burning with silver flames, it looked down at Lynn from high above, as if judging him.

Not far behind the holy angel, a tall figure in blue and white slowly appeared.

He was a monk dressed in a ceremonial robe, which fluttered in the wind, but his appearance was strange.

His face was ashen, like withered wax, his eyes were empty and lifeless, without a trace of emotion, like a puppet stripped of its self-awareness.

"Hmm? It looks like those mysterious creatures..."

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly in the air, and with just a glance, he grasped all the key information about the battle.

Without a second thought, he instinctively activated the Starfall Shoes beneath his feet once more!

"Shoes of Fallen Stars!"

hum!
The starlight suddenly exploded, and Lynn's figure streaked across the sky like a meteor, instantly breaking free of the attack trajectory and creating distance between himself and the enemy.

His entire body was enveloped in blazing starlight, leaving a trail like a streak in the sky.

He calmly considered the situation while speeding along and quickly made a judgment about the scene before him:
"Fifth Ring Spell... 'Celestial Summoning'?"

Lynn glanced intently at the angel's structure and immediately came to a conclusion.

"As expected... to be able to summon angels of such rank, this mutant is at least a fifth-circle mage, already at the early stage of a second-level wizard."

Lynn was almost driven to his death by a fifth-ring mage who also used a celestial summoning spell.

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the otherworldly creature Qi, who killed the fifth-ring mage, Lynn might have had to fight desperately to survive.

However, times have changed, and Lynn is now a powerful mid-level second-tier wizard.

In the mage system corresponding to the gods, Lynn should be equivalent to a sixth-ring mage.

Therefore, now that he has encountered a fifth-ring mage one-on-one, it can be considered that he is overwhelming him with his cultivation level.

However, since his second-level sorcery hasn't been updated much, he can only rely on Ifgrid.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he unleashed his full mental power, activating his own level-two permanent sorcery mark.

"The forest sky is falling!" Boom!
With a low shout, the world suddenly changed.

A vast expanse of emerald light descended from the void, spreading out like vines and intertwining like tree shadows, transforming into a magical domain covering hundreds of meters in all directions.

At that moment, the entire sky seemed to be replaced by a primeval forest, and the air was filled with a rich sense of life and the power of nature.

Layers of green shadows, like a dream, enveloped both the holy angel and the mutated mage!
At the center of the domain, a massive tree shadow burst forth from the sky—it was none other than Ifgrid!

At this moment, it was like a divine tree taking shape, its trunk towering into the clouds, and its existence resonated perfectly with this forest domain, as if it had become the very essence of the will of this world!
Within the domain, Ifgrid can teleport anywhere!

Just as at this very moment, Ifgrid appeared directly behind the mutated mage, appearing in the void.

The tree canopy is like a vast umbrella, blocking out the sun; while the root system is like a thousand snakes dancing wildly, bursting out from the ground, entwining, contracting, and suppressing!
Click, click, click! !

Thick tree roots enveloped the mage completely, forming a giant cocoon, which then tightened continuously, like a giant python constricting its prey!
"Goo-ah!"

The mage's face contorted in a gloomy light, his body radiating a defensive glow, but under Ifgrid's mountain-like pressure, his defenses crumbled like paper!
The next instant was accompanied by a deafening roar.

His body was crushed alive under the immense pressure of the endless tree roots!
The summoning spell collapsed along with it, and the holy angel disintegrated as well.

In the sky, it transformed into countless silvery-white feathers, drifting away with the wind, while the mutated mage completely collapsed into a hazy yellow mist, returning to the dreamlike clouds.

"Lacking independent thought and not particularly strong... but this state... could it be that dying at the hands of those strange creatures would result in this? Like being assimilated?"

Lynn narrowed his eyes and speculated.

At this moment, he became more wary and cautious of those mysterious creatures, and at the same time, he thought of something else.

That is, a mage who has been assimilated has appeared here!

This is definitely not good news.

Lynn's original plan was to find those wizards and return to the main wizarding force as soon as possible.

However, the reality is quite the opposite.

He didn't see a single wizard, and was almost ambushed by a corrupted mage without warning.

If there is a mage here, then the probability of there being other mages is obviously very high. At this moment, he has probably already reached the point where the goddess's army is scattered.

From this moment on, no matter which direction he goes, the probability of encountering a cultist will increase dramatically.

Thinking of this, Lynn subconsciously patted the Azure Sky Spirit on his chest.

After all, not to mention he was wearing a set of wizard armor, and was a mortal enemy of those mages, once they encountered each other, it would be a fight to the death.

More importantly, he also possessed the aura of a blasphemer. If it weren't for the suppression of the Azure Sky Spirit, he would have been surrounded and attacked by a group of mages as soon as he appeared near the goddess's army.

"Hiss... This is getting a bit troublesome..."

Lynn frowned and murmured softly, his voice so low that he seemed afraid Mengyun herself would hear him.

He dared not wander off.

Once you step into an area densely populated by enemy troops and are surrounded by three or five mages, it's almost certain death.

But staying here indefinitely is obviously not an option; a mage might run into him at any time.

Even though Lynn has now broken through to the mid-stage of a level two wizard, he is still nothing special in the mage-gathering area.

Because within the mage-gathering area, there must be countless level eight and level nine mages, who are powerful beings equivalent to level three archmages...

Even with Ifrit and the Starfall Shoes, Lynn would still be doomed against such an opponent.

However, Lynn was not alone now, so he slowly closed his eyes, gathered his spiritual power into a thin thread, and probed into the depths of the Azure Sky Spirit in his chest, preparing to communicate with the maple tree.

Although the Azure Sky Spirit has undergone two restorations, it has already regained a considerable amount of power.

However, the maple tree residing inside was in very poor condition.

He had been forcibly awakened to the point that he was already struggling to stay awake for so long.

Therefore, the maple tree now often repairs itself deep within the Azure Sky Spirit by using the Azure Sky Spirit's power, barely keeping itself afloat, rather than falling into a deep sleep.

Lin Ende had to actively probe into him with his mental energy to wake him up and communicate with him.

Of course, this is also why the maple trees are holding on so hard right now.

After all, his condition was so bad that he could no longer hold on and fell into a coma again.

The reason he was holding on was because Lynn had now fallen into the realm of gods, and the surroundings were too dangerous; he was worried about him.

After all, Lynn is dead, and he can't come back to life either.

The maple tree's voice was faint, like that of a weak and listless person.

After hearing Lynn's question, he paused for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Do you... still remember the knight I sealed away when I forcibly awakened?"

Lynn's eyes flickered, and the afterimage of the knight within the maple leaf seal immediately appeared in his mind.

The maple tree's voice carried a hint of helplessness and sigh:

"I intended to...use that knight's body as my new host body, but...I overestimated myself..."

"My condition... can't hold for much longer; I'll soon fall into a deep sleep..."

"But... you're different."

Lynn paused slightly, as he heard Maple's fragmented suggestion:

"Now that you have entered the clergy's territory... then you can use that knight as your 'shell'... to replace him... and make him your 'walking body' in the divine kingdom."

"You have cultivated 'Shared Life and Death,' which allows you to transfer your extraordinary plant essence to that knight's body... replacing his soul..."

When Lynn heard what Maple said, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Sharing life and death allows him to merge with the extraordinary plant.

Extraordinary plants also have a unique characteristic: they can remain in a material form or transform into a soul form.

In this way, he merged with Ifgrid, transformed into a soul form, and then entered the knight's spiritual realm to control his physical body.

It was as if the knight had become a robot, and he was the operator controlling the robot...

In the next instant, with a flash of blue light, a maple leaf that had sealed the knight slowly drifted down...

Then, guided by the maple tree, Lynn, relying on the power of the Azure Sky Spirit, prepared to "possess" the knight...

As time passed, amidst a hazy yellow cloud, streaks of shimmering blue light appeared.

Then, I don’t know how much time passed.

Suddenly, a celestial horse soared into the sky.

On the back of the Pegasus, there was a knight's figure.

A man and a horse galloped into the distance and soon disappeared into the clouds.
