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

Chapter 191 Level 8 Soft Armor
Chapter 191

Rumble!
From the depths of the divine realm, a roar suddenly erupted, as if the might of heaven had descended!

The immense divine power exploded within the divine kingdom, spreading outwards in all directions at a visible speed, its impact seemingly shaking the entire outer plane!
Like a boulder thrown into a still lake, ripples spread out in circles, but this time, it was not just ripples on the water, but a violent flood composed of pure divinity!

Each ripple contained an extremely terrifying power of devouring and refining, and wherever it passed, even space itself twisted and writhed.

Any substance that comes into contact with these divine energy ripples will have its origin extracted and refined into the purest divine energy instantly.

All of them were absorbed by the will that hangs high above the divine kingdom and returned to the divine kingdom's original form!

At this moment, on the platform at the top of the Divine Tower, each of the waiting young prodigies had a crystal-clear badge appear in front of them.

It was an ancient-looking yet divine badge, with a blue and white star engraved in the center, like a miniature of a real planet, shimmering with a faint light. It was the holy emblem of the Goddess of the Magic Net.

At the very center of the platform, a golden vortex quietly appeared.

The vortex was like a gateway to the unknown, shining with golden light and surging with divine energy, flowing with endless spatial runes and fragments of divine arrays!

A majestic voice then resounded from the void; it was the ninth-level being hidden in the shadows, who slowly spoke:
"Only with the Holy Emblem in hand can one step into the divine array."

"That is your proof, and the foundation upon which you protect yourselves amidst the fluctuations of the divine array. If you lose it, you will bear the consequences."

"Let's begin now."

As soon as the words were spoken, it was as if a divine decree had been issued. The entire top of the divine tower seemed to freeze for a moment, followed by a series of powerful soaring sounds.

Without the slightest hesitation, the young figures flashed, holding the holy emblem, and rushed into the golden vortex.

They pierced through the vortex gate like arrows, enveloped in golden light, and their figures vanished in the teleportation stream in the blink of an eye.

In just a few seconds, the once bustling platform of the Divine Tower was mostly empty.

Only a few people remained where they were, their breaths mingling and their eyes sharp, such as Lynn, Terence, and a few of his friends.

Despite being forcibly suppressed, the anger that had been forcibly contained in Terence's eyes had not yet been extinguished.

He stared coldly at Lynn's retreating figure, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

He dared not make a move here, but he knew that once they entered the Divine Realm, they would be free, and the restrictions would no longer bind their actions.

"Let's see how long you can keep up your stubbornness once you're inside..." he thought to himself with a cold sneer.

Beside him, several friends also wore malicious expressions, clearly having reached some kind of tacit agreement to outnumber and bully "Fao" in the secret realm and give him a good beating.

Lynn naturally realized their scheme.

He tilted his head slightly and glanced at the group of people not far away. Their eyes were filled with resentment and contempt.

If it were his original identity, he could have continued to observe and wait for the other party to lose patience first, since these divine resources are quite precious.

Even if Terence can wait, his cronies might not be able to.

But right now, he's playing the aloof and arrogant "knight genius" Fao, and to avoid being exposed, he has no choice but to set off first.

So he simply stood up slowly, his slender fingers clenched slightly, holding the holy emblem tightly in his palm, and walked toward the golden vortex with an unwavering gaze.

Without the slightest hesitation or pause.

Even as he walked past Terence and the others, he didn't even glance at them.

That chilling indifference was as if he were looking at a few insignificant mosquitoes.

Terence and the others turned ashen-faced, thoroughly enraged by this utterly dismissive contempt, yet dared not make a move.

They could only stare intently at Lynn's retreating figure, his eyes filled with a growing gloom.

"Once you're inside, don't expect to be so lucky."

As Lynn's figure was finally swallowed by the golden vortex, Terence waved his hand, and the others followed suit.

The moment I passed through that golden vortex gate, it felt as if my entire being was being pulled away by some invisible divine force.

After a slight moment of disorientation, Lynn suddenly found himself in a vast and mysterious space.

He was suspended in a vast divine array filled with ripples of divine power.

From all directions, divine power surged like a tidal wave, constantly surging and spreading, like endless ripples and waves, carrying terrifying pressure and sweeping his body away into the distance.

The holy emblem that Lynn held tightly in his hand suddenly changed the moment it came into contact with these divine powers!
The holy emblem transformed into a blue and white light shield, its surface inscribed with complex and profound divine runes, which slowly unfolded, steadily protecting him within it.

The light shield acted as a barrier, isolating Lynn from the impact and erosion of divine power, allowing him to move freely in the turbulent torrent of divine energy.

At this moment, Lynn was like a wanderer standing on the edge of a storm.

The divine power ripples beneath him rose and fell continuously, the divine patterns resembling rolling waves or patches of cloud, hazy and heavy, forming a strange and magnificent picture of the outer plane.

Lynn floated on it, as if he were surfing in a sea of ​​clouds.

However, this is not an earthly ocean; every trace of divinity hidden deep within the clouds is enough to tear the soul apart.

Lynn composed himself and was about to observe his surroundings and clear his mind when he suddenly frowned.

Behind him, several blue and white streaks of light suddenly rose from the ripples of divine power. The same holy emblem light shields quickly traversed the divine array at an astonishing speed, heading straight for him!

"Tsk... It's obvious that those troublesome guys have caught up with us."

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze piercing through the ripples, and he saw a familiar face: Terence, and his "fellow buddies" beside him.

"This is really annoying... So even a prodigy like Fao has a tough time. He doesn't cause trouble, but there are always people who come up to pick a fight. He really does have an aura of hatred and mockery."

He mentally grumbled as he adjusted the direction of the light shield and continued to move forward.

Now that he himself is Fao, he also has to find a way to solve Fao's problems.

Suddenly, a high-pitched, piercing mocking voice came from behind, carrying ridicule and provocation, piercing through the ripples of divine power and striking directly into Lynn's ears:

"Fao, didn't you claim to be a legendary knight, the bravest warrior among ten thousand? What? You don't even have the guts to turn back and fight?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn's eyes remained unmoved, but he secretly chuckled inwardly.

"Tsk, you actually dare to use such a low-level provocation tactic? Do you think I'm stupid..."

However, Lynn recalled Fao's temper, and perhaps such a simple provocation would be enough to trick him...

"Unfortunately... I'm the one controlling this body now."

Unfortunately, Lynn is now in control of this body, so naturally he can't just stop obediently.

He even made a decision contrary to the demands of the majority, which was to head straight in a certain direction.

At this moment, with the impact of the divine power ripples, some precious resources have been washed out, and the world is filled with all kinds of tempting auras.

He turned directly towards a desolate area within the divine array that was devoid of any divine fluctuations and had a sparse aura of resources.

That area seemed to have been washed clean by the ripples of divine power, leaving it empty and devoid of any alluring scent.

But Lynn sped off towards that "dead zone" without hesitation!

Behind him, the several light shields rapidly pursued, but they all paused for a moment after seeing the direction Lynn had chosen.

"Is he crazy? That place...there's nothing there!"

The men who had come with Terence exchanged bewildered glances, their faces turning extremely grim.

They didn't come here to help Terence vent his anger.

What they want are resources, divine gifts, and opportunities for advancement.

If Lynn stops, they wouldn't mind helping Terence get revenge.

But now that the other party is focused on escaping, even deliberately going to places that "seem to be no good," why bother chasing them?

"Terrence, let's... split up first. It's better to gather resources first, since he can't escape anyway."

“That’s right, there seem to be quite a few divine crystal fragments over there. Let’s go and grab some.”

Several beams of light flashed and then dispersed, changing direction and flying towards areas rich in divine resources.

Terence, however, remained gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Lynn's figure, burning with resentment and anger.

"Escape? Do you think you can escape?"

Enraged, he harnessed his light shield and gave chase at full speed.

And so, a chase, a pursuit and an escape, continued to unfold amidst the ripples of divine power.

Lynn moved like a nimble blue-white streak of light through the ethereal divine array, while Terence clung to him, eager to devour him whole.

The surrounding scenery seemed to be stretched into a long scroll, with the light of the sky and the sea of ​​clouds, divine patterns and illusions flowing backwards, as if one were in an endless scroll painting, and time itself blurred in this divine torrent.

I do not know how long it has been.

Terence, who was originally burning with anger, now had a hint of weariness in his eyes.

The intense pursuit, coupled with Lynn's relentless refusal to give him any opening, fueled his frustration.

"What a cowardly turtle who only knows how to run away!"

He gritted his teeth and muttered something, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness and weariness.

But at this moment.

Lynn ahead suddenly slowed down!

The elusive light shield slowly hovered amidst the ripples of divine power, like a small boat with its sail fixed in a sea of ​​clouds.

Terence's eyes narrowed sharply, and his killing intent rekindled instantly.

"Hmph, finally can't hold on any longer? Let's see where you can run to!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly squeezed the holy emblem in his hand, and divine power surged forth!

In an instant, the holy symbols of the two simultaneously emitted a dazzling azure divine light, the light converging as if triggering some kind of mechanism.

"Click!"

Amidst a spatial dislocation-like tremor, the blue and white divine light suddenly expanded, isolating the surrounding area of ​​several thousand square meters into an independent small domain!
The next moment, Lynn and Terence both fell into the single-target combat barrier activated by the divine emblem.

The surroundings were like a cut-off alternate dimension, glowing with a ghostly blue light, with runes and magical fluctuations floating at the edges. Everything around them had been stripped away, leaving only the two of them!
"What? You're not running anymore? Finally remembered your self-proclaimed invincible knightly dignity?"

Terence wore a cold smile, his sarcastic tone full of confidence.

Before he could finish speaking, a figure streaked across the sky like lightning and crashed down in front of him!

"boom!"

Lynn rushed over and smashed down with a punch that seemed to shatter mountains, creating a deafening roar that compressed the distance to zero in an instant!
Terence's pupils contracted sharply, and his face darkened.

"Close combat?! Are you crazy?!"

He wasn't a knight, but a mage skilled in domain control and spell suppression. For him to clash head-on with a knight who excelled in melee combat would be tantamount to suicide.

But he was clearly not panicked.

"Level 6 spell - Earth Bone!"

"Level 7 spell - Gravity Field!"

"Level 6 spell - Druid Grove!"

The three incantations were uttered almost simultaneously, and a magic net shimmered around him like a spider web as the spell model rapidly unfolded!

Suddenly, the earth roared!
Countless pale, ghastly bone spikes rose abruptly from the ground, as if to block Lynn's sprint path into a maze;
Immediately afterwards, an extremely heavy torrent of gravity suddenly pressed down, and the space became stagnant, as if every movement required bearing a thousand pounds.

Finally, a large number of green vines, ancient trees, and exotic plants grew wildly from all around the barrier, forming a dense, obstructing magical forest!

"Hmph, no matter how strong you are, don't even think about getting half a step closer to me within the domain I've set up!"

This is a standard counter-strategy set for knights. Even if Alpha himself were here, he would have to be very careful facing this setup and would find it difficult to break through easily.

Yet, within this magical realm formed by three layers of magic, Lynn did not hesitate for a moment.

Under the heavy pressure of gravity, he lowered his head slightly, but his expression showed no panic; he merely narrowed his eyes.

He could clearly feel the pressure that had suddenly increased dozens of times over pressing down on him, as if he were in the deep sea, his bones creaking faintly.

The surrounding area is a space completely blocked by rocks and trees.

"So... this is how you deal with knights..."

Lynn's eyes flickered slightly as he murmured to himself, seemingly summarizing the strategy behind the combined spells he had just used. For a moment, he felt a pang of gratitude towards Terence.

"Thank you for your personal instruction." Lynn smiled slightly, but his expression gradually turned cold. "In return, I should give you a little 'surprise'."

He gently raised a finger and whispered a spell:
"Level Two Sorcery, Forest Sky Descends."

Before the incantation caused any disturbance, the witchcraft had already taken effect.

This domain-type sorcery is extremely subtle and does not attract much attention, because the world is already filled with the druidic woodlands summoned by Terence.

Lynn's canopy was simply a matter of adding some trees, and it was naturally hidden in the woodland without attracting Terence's attention.

Lynn, controlling Fao's body, no longer tried to force his way through the path.

He slowly lowered his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, his gaze fixed on his feet.

A faint green light flickered beneath his feet; it was none other than the extraordinary plant from his domain of sorcery, Ivgrid.

This extraordinary plant, which was connected to Lynn's mind, was now transforming into a spiritual green light, supporting Fao's body and silently teleporting through the gaps in the domain spells!

Gravity? Nothing. Vines? No problem. Rocks, thorns, bone spurs? Nothing more than skin and bones.

Lynn used the most inconspicuous method to completely counter the suppression of the entire spell.

boom!
A whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

Terence's eyes twitched, and he turned around abruptly.

The Fao that should have been blocked by layers of barriers appeared before him like a ghost!
And those layers of barriers that were set up didn't even make a sound!

A sudden, overwhelming sense of dread washed over him, and a feeling of foreboding arose within him.

"This is... teleportation?! How could he possibly..."

Before he could think it through, a storm-like fist shadow came hurtling towards him!

Fao threw a powerful punch, tearing through space with a gust of wind, carrying the knight's burning fighting spirit, straight towards Terence's face!

"Humph."

Terence, however, was not alarmed but rather cold, letting out a cold snort and pointing his finger at his chest.

"The level eight magic soft armor I specially prepared for you, so what if it's a level seven peak knight? They can't break through it."

boom!
The fist struck down, hitting the soft armor squarely.

However, the expected tearing sensation of trembling bones and shattered fascia did not come. The fist felt as if it had fallen into cotton wool, and the force dissipated almost completely.

The effect was so good that Terence noticed something was wrong.

"This isn't the power of a seventh-level knight...you..."

But the next moment.

A green light flashed on Lynn's forehead, and a blurry shadow suddenly shot out from between his eyebrows!
It was a spear formed from the shadows of trees, pitch black and without light, yet it seemed to embody the will of the entire earth, and it shot out from between Fao's eyebrows!

In an instant, the spear, like a meteor from outer space, with a sonic boom that tore through space, pierced straight towards Terence's head!

"what?!"

Terence's pupils contracted sharply, and he barely had time to react.

puff!
The head, which had no armor protection, shattered like porcelain under the blow of the sorcerous spear!
Before the blood and consciousness could even struggle, they had already vanished into the void.

The violent impact affected his entire body, shattering the soft armor on his chest and tearing his robe. Amidst the blood and gore, only a piece of soft armor, not yet completely destroyed, slowly drifted down from the air.

The green light on Lynn's forehead vanished in an instant.

He slowly raised his head, a hint of sarcasm playing on his lips.

"Soft armor specifically designed to counter knights... What a pity, I'm not a knight."

He smiled gently, and a faint green light shone deep in his eyes.

"I am a wizard."

Lynn glanced down at the falling level eight soft armor, then casually raised his hand, and green vines stretched out from his feet, swirling it up and pulling it into his robes.

He glanced at it briefly and then nodded.

This item is a magical artifact specifically designed to counter knights. It is expensive to make and extremely well-crafted. You never know when it might come in handy.

Then, his gaze fell on the indistinct, long-lost human remains of flesh and blood not far away.

Lynn raised his right hand and flicked his fingertips at this guy who was deliberately trying to kill himself, and a blazing fireball appeared in the air.

The flames suddenly expanded, rolling down and engulfing the remains, burning them to ashes, leaving not even a trace of magical energy behind.

Lynn is always efficient and decisive in her work, and she doesn't want to leave any hidden dangers.

As the flames dissipated, the space between heaven and earth trembled slightly, and a faint green light drifted back from the void and entered Lynn's chest.

It was a soft, ethereal green light, like the morning mist, the spirit of the blue sky.

Lynn glanced down at it, a hint of caution flashing in his eyes.

"Fortunately, I was only using you to conceal my aura... If I were to unleash my power on the spot, I'm afraid it would immediately attract that person's attention."

He murmured to himself, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

He dared not use the Azure Sky Spirit directly to attack others, lest the Goddess of the Magic Network notice.

However, he had previously used the Azure Sky Spirit to obscure the view here, so he didn't need to worry about being discovered.

Lynn put away the Holy Symbol, his palm swept across the void, and the temporary space constructed by the two Holy Symbols trembled slightly before dissipating like ripples, and the world returned to deathly silence.

Just as he was about to leave, Lynn suddenly frowned and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He sensed that figures were approaching him from not far away.

"Ok?"

Lynn thought he had caused trouble by killing Terence.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Those figures paid him no attention whatsoever. Instead, as they approached him, they changed direction and headed deeper into the area.

"Someone actually came to this desolate place? Could it be that there's some treasure here? But these divine treasures are useless to me..."

As Lynn was thinking this, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked in the direction the people had left.

Just a moment ago, he sensed a unique fluctuation...
