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

Chapter 192 Reunion with Qi

Chapter 192

Two streaks of blue and white starlight streaked across the sky like shooting stars, reflecting each other as they swiftly traversed the desolate land.

One of the beams of light was slightly dimmer, enveloping a man dressed in a mage's robe. He had handsome features, an arrogant expression, and a sturdy posture, exuding a dashing and unrestrained charm with a hint of arrogance.

His name is Walker, a powerful and exceptionally talented genius mage.

Walking alongside him was another faint, chilly starlight, as if formed from condensed moonlight, supporting a graceful female mage.

Her hair was as long as a waterfall, her face was fair and her eyes were calm yet unfathomable, and she had an innate aloofness that was not to be trifled with.

Her name is Kunna, and she is also a renowned powerhouse among the younger generation.

Suddenly, Walker paused slightly, his brow furrowed, and he glanced behind him, saying calmly:

"He caught up."

Upon hearing this, Kunna's beautiful eyes shifted slightly as she gazed at the approaching blue-white starlight. Her voice, calm yet tinged with surprise, murmured:

"That's... Fao?"

She recalled briefly, her voice like the soft tinkling of jade beads:
"He is a disciple of the Knights of Mysterious Fire, a seventh-level knight personally trained by Commander Cindy. I heard he was captured by a wizard recently, and I thought he was probably dead, but I didn't expect him to still be alive."

Before he could finish speaking, Walker snorted coldly, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes, his tone full of disdain:
"Hmph. No matter who rescued him, if he dares to interfere in this matter and steal what we've found, he's doomed! Even if Cindy is behind him, it's the same!"

Kunna did not respond immediately upon hearing this, but smiled slightly, though the smile did not reach her eyes, and her gaze was colder than the starlight.

She was not a bloodthirsty person, but the object of her journey was related to a great secret and opportunity.

If anyone dares to lay a finger on it, no matter how amazing their talent or how powerful their background, they are destined to be erased.

Moreover, her and Walker's teacher was not an ordinary high-level mage, but a legendary mage who truly stood at the pinnacle of wizardry and was among the Seven Stars!

Kunna's teacher, named Lillian, is the only woman among the seven legends and is known for her elegance and aloofness;
Walker's teacher wasn't exactly a stranger to Lynn, as he had recently provoked him himself.

That legendary mage was none other than Mage Bed, one of the Seven Star Mages.

Not long ago, Lynn and Qi Cai made their move in that temple and stole a huge amount of faith power.

This even directly provoked the wrath of the Goddess of the Magic Network, rewriting the entire dimensional war situation.

Now, the legendary mage's disciple stands ahead, ambitious and sharp-tongued.

Their goal for this trip is certainly not ordinary resources or common opportunities.

This desolate land is barren and silent on the surface, and even divine particles are extremely scarce, making it worthless to anyone who sees it.

But Walker and Quinn have a special method at their disposal, which has been confirmed.

This place holds something extremely precious.

The entire area showed no energy fluctuations, not because it was barren.

Rather, it was because all the "essence" had been gathered together by some kind of force, condensing into a kind of "strange object"-like entity that shielded the perception of heaven and earth.

What they need to do is find that item.

Perhaps it is a mysterious crystal, a sealed piece of knowledge, or a lost divine gift.

Everything is still unknown.

But one thing is certain: anyone who tries to stop them, even Fao, is just courting death.

"right here."

Kunna's red lips parted slightly, her voice low but carrying an undisguised excitement.

She and Walker paused simultaneously, hovering above a desolate area of ​​the dead land.

It was an area shrouded in a thick layer of dim yellow clouds, as if the heavens and earth were holding their breath, creating a suffocating atmosphere of oppression.

Beneath this oppressive atmosphere lies the precious thing they have been searching for.

Kunna's gaze sharpened, and she slowly raised her hand, the magic runes between her fingers flowing, surging with a clear radiance like the moon.

With a gentle wave of her hand, she uttered a complex ancient incantation. Instantly, a shimmering silver-white beam of light emanated from her fingertips, like a gentle rain of moonlight falling silently.

The moment the moonlight appeared, it was like a purifying glow, quietly washing over the thick, almost solidified twilight clouds ahead.

The clouds and mist that were originally as thick as mountains and almost covered the sky melted and evaporated silently under the baptism of silver light, just like spring snow meeting warmth.

In a few breaths, the clouds and mist completely dissipated, revealing the huge, long-sealed pit below.

At the very center of that deep pit, a faint golden light lay quietly.

That's a crystal.

Its entire surface is as clear as glass, yet it is no ordinary object. A faint divine glow flows across it, and its crystal-clear appearance is like a star that has fallen to earth and been polished into the most perfect work of art.

Its gold color is not the ostentatious gold of the mundane world.

Rather, it possessed a sacredness and purity that seemed to contain the very essence of heaven and earth, causing the surrounding darkness to yield and as if even time and space were illuminated by it for a moment.

Kunna and Walker exchanged a glance, their eyes almost simultaneously gleaming with burning greed.

In that instant, all the pride, elegance, and restraint of a mage were cast aside, and only the desire to "possess" and "control" surged in their eyes.

"...half for each of us."

"...half for each of us."

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, carrying a restrained coldness and a compromise with reality.

They knew very well that, faced with such a treasure, if neither side were ordinary, they would have already drawn their swords against each other; there was no question of dividing it equally.

The moment they reached their conclusion, the two of them waved their sleeves, simultaneously drawing up the golden crystal and slowly lifting it into the air, where it hovered between them.

Golden light flowed, divine radiance rippled, making their faces appear as if painted with gold lacquer, their features deep and their eyes sharp, yet they also appeared even more greedy and wary in that radiance.

Just now.

"This is……"

A deep voice came from not far away, filled with doubt and wariness.

Lynn's figure quietly appeared at the edge of this area.

His gaze was deep as he stared at the golden crystal in mid-air, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He didn't know what the crystal was, but from Walker and Kunna's reactions, he could tell that it was no ordinary object.

Moreover, both of their auras were subtly fluctuating, as if they would strike with lightning speed if he crossed the line even slightly.

Lynn stopped in his tracks, still deep in thought.

"The aura I sensed earlier should be nearby..."

Lynn recalled the aura that had drawn him here, but compared to the golden crystal, he was more concerned about that aura.

Walker and Quinna watched as Lynn stood there motionless, neither moving forward nor showing any intention of leaving.

Of course, they didn't know that Lynn wasn't Fao, and they didn't recognize what it was at all.

But considering the item's value, Walker finally spoke slowly, his gaze sharp as a knife, his voice carrying a chilling intent:

"This matter must not be leaked. If he is willing to cooperate, then we'll put an insurance policy on him... Otherwise, then we'll make him a dead man, because the dead are the best at keeping secrets!"

Kunna nodded slightly, her tone still calm, yet carrying a hint of cold, murderous intent.

The golden crystal couldn't be put away for the time being; they couldn't afford to take the risk.

The next moment, the sky reverberated with magical energy like thunder.

"Seventh-level spell, Magic Prison!"

"Seventh-level spell, Mirage!"

Boom!

Two high-level spells descended like a tidal wave, their silver-blue runes falling like meteors, instantly creating a closed domain woven from space and illusion around the three of them.

The surrounding scenery was distorted like a mirage, with reality and illusion overlapping, while a deeper force of restraint and oppression quietly descended, like invisible shackles, enveloping Lynn.

The sudden attack made Lynn frown slightly, and his eyes turned a little cold.

He quietly looked around. The space was now completely distorted, and the world was filled with oppressive magical fluctuations.

The magical confinement constructed by the seventh-level spell was like an invisible iron fence, rapidly closing in from all directions and firmly locking him in the center.

The air seemed to freeze, and space rippled like glass, with countless illusory images appearing around him. Cliffs, abysses, raging fire, cages—real and unreal were indistinguishable, causing him to lose his way and making it impossible to determine which direction led to escape.

Lynn remained calm, surveying everything with a composed gaze, yet he already understood.

"They resort to violence at the drop of a hat; it seems that the treasure is far more valuable than I imagined..."

Lynn was no novice either, and by this moment he had more or less guessed why the other party had made the move.

At the same time, he repeatedly affirmed that no matter what civilization they come from, as long as they are intelligent beings and have emotions, they are inevitably driven by desires and greed.

The two acted so decisively, clearly because they saw him as an unstable factor who "might steal the treasure" and decided to strike first.

His mind flashed back to the experiences of the past few days. Since stepping into the Vortex Gate, he had encountered two inexplicable battles.

The seemingly holy devotees of the goddess are really no different from the ruthless dark wizards in the wizarding world.

Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly. In his mental domain, a wisp of cyan magic moved like a hidden dragon, slowly accumulating power.

But on the surface, he remained calm and chose to try to communicate first.

"Gentlemen, isn't it a bit too much to resort to violence so easily?"

His voice was low and calm, yet carried a hint of coldness.

In the void, the figures of a man and a woman appeared in the light and shadow above the mirage.

The silhouette was blurred, yet it carried an air of superiority, as if judging all living beings.

It was Walker and Quinna.

Walker spoke first, his tone cold and condescending, as if he were sentencing a criminal.

“Fao,” he deliberately called out Lynn’s current name, his voice full of contempt.
"Since you've seen it all, I'll give you two choices: either obediently open your mental domain so I can plant a small spell on you, or die here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous glint flashed in Lynn's eyes. He released his mental domain, and anyone with the right intentions could turn a person into their puppet.

This would be the greatest humiliation for any living being, and even Lynn felt a hint of murderous intent rising in his heart at this moment.

But he did not act immediately. Instead, he suppressed his anger and said calmly:

“This is within the Goddess's Divine Array, where all of you ‘important figures’ can sense changes in this area… Aren’t you afraid of attracting attention by acting this way?”

The moment she finished speaking, a flash of coldness appeared in Kunna's eyes, while Walker laughed heartily.

"Hahaha!"

His voice echoed in the illusion, like rolling thunder, full of mockery and arrogance.

"Stop fooling yourselves! Even if the divine array releases ripples of divine power, the Goddess cannot possibly perceive every single minor conflict between us!"

"And those 'big shots' you mentioned..."

He paused, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.

"So what if they know I killed you? Your so-called teacher, Cindy? He has to bow and address my mentor as 'Lord Bed'."

"Within this divine formation, if I want you dead, who can stop me?"

Kunna then took a half step forward, her icy blue eyes flashing with chilling killing intent.

Her exquisite face, illuminated by the golden light, appeared utterly indifferent, like a lotus in the snow, devoid of any emotion.

"I'll ask one last time."

Walker's voice was deep and thunderous, radiating coldness: "Open your mental domain and let me plant my spell. Otherwise, I will annihilate you instantly."

The atmosphere froze completely.

"Lord Bedard? Could it be the legendary mage Bedard?"

Lynn immediately thought of the legendary mage Bede, who, along with Qi, had entered the Seven Star Temple and gained a massive amount of faith power.

If Fao himself were to come here, he would be facing two geniuses who are no weaker than him, and perhaps even stronger.

At the same time, the other party's status is far higher than his, so he probably only has the option of obeying.

After all, legendary mages are high above and hold a transcendent status, so their disciples are naturally extraordinary as well.

Even though Fao is already considered a genius among geniuses, he is still a bit inferior to them.

However, at this moment, Fao was actually Lynn in disguise. No matter how powerful the figures in the Goddess's camp were, they were nothing to him.

What good is immense power?
He wasn't a true believer in the goddess; he was a wizard who participated in a plan to hunt down deities!

"So what if he's a disciple of a legendary mage?"

"No matter how powerful their background or how high their status... what do they have to do with me?"

Lynn coldly scanned the two figures in the void, his eyes revealing no fear, only a chilling coldness and hidden killing intent.

The identities they were so proud of were nothing but empty titles in Lynn's eyes.

Moreover, he could already sense that familiar and powerful aura rapidly approaching!

"coming……"

Within Lynn's spiritual realm, a faint ray of dawn had quietly begun to illuminate, like the awakening of the first rays of day.

A smile appeared on his lips.

"What a pity……"

He spoke slowly, his tone contemptuous, tinged with sarcasm.
"Even if the Goddess of the Magic Network were to personally appear and try to make me open my spiritual domain, I wouldn't be worthy!"

The moment those words were uttered, the world fell silent!
The entire space seemed to fall into an eerie silence, and even the flow of magic in the illusion seemed to come to a standstill.

Walker and Kunna in the void trembled simultaneously, and for a moment even their killing intent paused.

His expression shifted from shock and disbelief to extreme anger and disgust.

This is blasphemous!

This is the most devastating insult that no true believer could tolerate!
"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying?"

Walker's eyes practically blazed with fury, and he laughed in a fit of rage, "You're courting death!"

“I don’t know exactly what happened when you were arrested in the wizarding camp,”

Kunna parted her red lips slightly, her voice as cold as frost.
“But I know one thing. Right now, you are a damn blasphemer!”

Her eyes flashed with a cold light, her robes fluttered without wind, and a powerful magical force began to gather around her.

At the same time, Walker began chanting incantations, and beams of high-level magical light condensed from the void.

They are the personal disciples of a legendary mage, and all possess the strength of a top-tier seventh-level mage!

If the two join forces, they can even hold their own against an eighth-level mage, which is equivalent to a low-level Grand Wizard, for a short period of time!
The spells surged in like a tidal wave: fire, lightning, void blades, soul shackles...

Power from multiple magical systems converged around Lynn, forcing him into the eye of the storm.

Faced with these terrifying attacks, Lynn's only option now is to unleash the Azure Sky Spirit to deal with them.

However, he did not activate the Spirit of the Azure Sky.

However, Lynn did not use his trump card, the Azure Sky Spirit.

He simply stood there, his expression indifferent, completely ignoring the attacks.

He looked at the two of them, his tone as calm as ice:

"I told you, even the Goddess of Magic Network wouldn't be worthy of it!"

"As for you two..."

His tone suddenly turned cold.
"Now, it's time to send you to the Kingdom of God."

The words fell!

The world suddenly trembled!
Golden rays suddenly appeared in the void, as if a sacred gate had opened.

Within that golden light, there was a faint spiritual pressure emanating from a high-ranking being.

One after another, fiery red maple leaves drifted down in the wind, tracing paths in the golden light, like the lingering dream in the dawn, or the prelude to the end of autumn.

As the last maple leaf fell to the ground, a tall and imposing figure stepped out, surrounded by swirling morning stars and bathed in golden light.

He didn't say a word, but his vast, star-like aura had already firmly suppressed the entire illusion!

Qi, we have arrived!
