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

Chapter 218 Instantly Kills the Great Wizard

Chapter 218

A level three archmage had already secretly disguised himself among the rebels, lying in wait for the most fatal opportunity.

Just now, he finally seized the perfect opportunity.

Without hesitation, he acted decisively and struck suddenly!
Terrifying energy condenses in an instant, then detonates completely at a certain critical point.

A level-three spell swept out like a raging torrent, crashing down directly onto the wizard army of the Temple of Life!
This was a desperate, all-out attack with only one goal: to completely destroy the military offensive of the Temple of Life.

Its power was so terrifying that it was almost suffocating!
The power of witchcraft depends primarily on two key factors:
The first is the level of the witchcraft itself, and the second is the mental energy invested by the caster.

Generally speaking:

The ratio of spiritual power to physical power in a first-level spell is 1:1.

Consuming 30 points of mental energy allows you to unleash a power of 30 degrees.

Level 2 sorcery increased to 1:2.

30 points of mental energy can unleash a power of 60 degrees.

Third-level witchcraft goes even further, reaching an astonishing 1:3 ratio!

In other words, 30 points of mental energy can unleash a destructive force of 90 degrees!
Moreover, the mental energy reserves of a level three archmage are generally above 300 points.

In theory, when they unleash their full power, they can generate over 900 degrees of magical power, comparable to a concentrated attack from a small war fortress.

It's important to understand that in a dimensional expedition war, even if a war fortress mobilizes all its magical weapons to the fullest extent, its destructive power is only around a thousand degrees!
Although a level three archmage rarely uses the kind of magic that "drains one's own spiritual power," even a partial investment is enough to destroy the world.

The great wizard who secretly intervened was named Tingming, and he was skilled in the art of lightning within the elemental school.

What he unleashed was his signature move, Extreme Shadow Lightning Storm!

This attack consumed more than a hundred points of his mental energy.

In addition, there are the rank bonuses from the sorcery itself, the amplification from the special runes within the body, and the sorcery support items worn on the body...

Ultimately, the actual power of this Extreme Shadow Lightning Storm reached over 400 degrees, approaching 500 degrees!

Such terrifying destructive power is enough to sweep across the entire battlefield!
Rumble!
A flash of lightning, a roar of thunder!
In the blink of an eye, an extremely violent storm of lightning suddenly formed in the air, like the wrath of the heavens descending, roaring as it swept towards the army of the Temple of Life!

At this moment, the two armies were clashing. At the forefront were the monster army and alchemical golems. Ordinary witchcraft could only deplete the strength of the front line and could not truly shake the core of the central army.

But the great wizard Tingming was prepared, so how could he waste this fatal blow?
His target was the group of wizards who were behind the lines and were making tactical adjustments!

The power of lightning is unparalleled in its speed!
The moment the Extreme Shadow Lightning Storm was released, it was like a lightning dragon tearing through the heavens and earth, fiercely sweeping past the front row and precisely bypassing the monsters and puppet army.

The next instant, a devastating thunderbolt swept across the wizard's territory in the Temple of Life!
In an instant, all the wizards targeted by the lightning, whether wizard apprentices or first-level wizards, died instantly!

Their wizard robes, amulets, and rune shields shattered, rendering them unable to muster even the slightest strength to struggle.

Bolts of lightning, like whips and blades, cleaved them, body and soul, into charred remains, then crushed them into ashes, which vanished with the wind!

Only a few first-level wizards and second-level wizards who possessed powerful life-saving items managed to escape the lightning storm with a sliver of hope.

But when they stumbled out of the predicament and looked back, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

The once densely packed and imposing wizard army has now turned into a deathly silent vacuum!

That thunderous storm tore a large, desolate void of death in its wake!

Countless comrades were reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace behind!
The great wizard Tingming had been keeping his true strength hidden for a long time, waiting for this very moment.

And he succeeded!
This attack not only destroyed a large number of wizards and wizard apprentices in the central army of the Temple of Life, but also instantly disrupted the entire battle line!

The army of the Temple of Life, which had been advancing steadily like a surging tide, suddenly lost its balance in the face of this devastating thunder, its morale was shaken and its spirits were violently shaken!

Fear quietly took root in my heart.

A war that was gradually tilting toward victory suddenly became unpredictable!

High in the sky, the battle between the six level-three archmages was in full swing, and the fierce fighting below was naturally also in full view.

Within the Temple of Life camp, the expressions of the three great wizards, Helen, Bodo, and Mona, changed drastically almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with murderous intent, wishing they could kill them all immediately!
They finally understood why their three enemies—Twilight Rain, Fire Crow, and Blood Lion—remained calm and composed, showing no impatience, even in unfavorable circumstances.

It turns out that all of this was just a cover; the real killing move had already been laid in ambush among the wizard army!

"hateful!"

The great wizard Helen's white hair flew wildly, her eyes blazing with lightning, as if she wished she could personally swoop down and crush the rebel wizard into mud.

Unfortunately, the Grand Wizard of Twilight Rain in front of him sneered and pressed forward step by step, giving him no chance to escape.

Meanwhile, the High Wizard Mona was also entangled with the Fire Ravens. Although their attacks were fierce and exaggerated, they were endless and difficult to break free from.

The battle between the Great Wizard of Hakata and the Great Wizard of Blood Lion was in full swing. Although Hakata had gained a slight advantage with his illusion magic and suppressed the Blood Lion, who was a body-refining wizard, he had only gained the initiative.

He could escape, but if he left now, the people below might be able to provide some support, but it would cause the battle above to become unbalanced, leaving Helen and Mona to face a combined attack from three enemy level three archmages!
The consequences would be unimaginable.

They could only watch helplessly as the battle below rapidly collapsed, sinking deeper and deeper into chaos!

Especially now, at the heart of the rebel army, the third-level archmage who had previously unleashed the thunderstorm was coldly gathering his power again, preparing to unleash his second spell!

The situation has completely reversed!

The Temple of Life not only failed to overwhelm the rebels, but instead fell into a desperate situation, with life and death hanging in the balance!
"Do you want to retreat?"

Mona and Bodo simultaneously sent telepathic messages to Helen, their voices filled with anxiety.

They knew that if they delayed any longer, the losses would be even more devastating!
But just then, the Grand Wizard of Twilight Rain chuckled softly, his words cold and cruel:
"Heh, trying to retreat? Too late."

His eyes were cold, and his voice was filled with mockery and greed:
"This time, we will cripple your Temple of Life! This vast Kingdom of Eluria is not yours to rule alone. It's our turn to enter..."

He's no longer pretending!
That veneer of a respectable "army of justice" has long since been torn away, and now he makes no attempt to conceal his ambition.

The reason for assisting those rebels is so that they can invade the kingdom in the future, gain more resources, and conquer this place!

However, just as the Great Wizard of Twilight Rain burst into laughter, believing victory was assured.

A sudden, abrupt sound rang out.

At first, the sound was deep and rolling like thunder, as if it came from beyond the heavens.

But soon, the sound suddenly rose to a high pitch, exploded with a deafening roar.

That was a dragon's roar!

High in the sky, a colossal dragon covered in jet-black scales and with wings that blotted out the sky suddenly swooped down from the horizon, its wings spreading wide, stirring up a raging storm, and circling above the battlefield!
That was a real black dragon, radiating a terrifying dragon aura comparable to that of a level three archmage!
The dragon's might spread as if it were a tangible force, and wherever it passed, all were filled with fear!

In an instant, the entire battlefield froze. Whether they were wizard apprentices, first-level wizards, or even second-level wizards, everyone trembled under the oppressive aura, their spirits feeling as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss!
But what was most terrifying was the massive army of monsters under both sides!

Under the powerful dragon's might, the magical beasts that had been obeying commands seemed to lose their minds instantly. They screamed in terror, broke free of their restraints, and scattered and fled into the distance!

Along the way, they charged wildly, even smashing their own alchemical golems to pieces, creating a scene of utter chaos!
It was as if an invisible pause had struck heavily on the battlefield.

The frenzied battle came to an abrupt halt!

"Where...where did this black dragon come from?!"

The three great wizards, Mu Yu, Huo Ya, and Xue Shi, were all taken aback, their eyes revealing undisguised surprise and doubt.

The Great Wizard Tingming below also frowned deeply, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

In contrast, the three great wizards of the Temple of Life, Helen, Bodo, and Mona, were overjoyed and unable to contain their excitement!
"It's Lord Qinglin! He's here!"

"Lord Qinglin?!"

Upon hearing this name, the Great Wizard of Twilight Rain's eyes darkened, and his expression changed.

Could this person be the one behind the Temple of Life?

To be able to ride a level-three black dragon and appear silently above the battlefield, this so-called "Lord Qinglin" is no ordinary person...

"what--!"

Just as the Great Wizard of Twilight Rain felt a sense of unease and watched the "Lord Qinglin" behind the Temple of Life with vigilance.

A bloodcurdling scream suddenly erupted from the ground!

The voice was painful and desperate, with a tearing sensation that pierced the soul. Even the six level-three great wizards hanging high in the sky could hear it clearly, and their hearts tightened suddenly!
"That's...Tingming?!"

Six pairs of eyes turned downwards simultaneously, and after a moment, everyone gasped in unison!
Especially the three great wizards, Twilight Rain, Fire Raven, and Blood Lion, whose faces turned ashen in an instant!

They finally discovered that right at the very heart of the rebel camp, the great wizard Tingming, who had been directing lightning magic and getting into a killing frenzy, was now in dire straits!
The earth has changed!

The center of the originally scorched and devastated battlefield was now covered by a mysterious realm brimming with life.

The air was filled with complex and strange plant fragrances, and the strange vines and flowering trees that rose from the ground all around created a realm that seemed like another world.

In the very center, a colossal tree, several meters tall, stands between heaven and earth!
Its trunk is as thick as a pillar, its branches and leaves are lush and green, yet it carries an eerie feeling that makes people tremble inexplicably.

The most terrifying scene was that the roots of this giant tree suddenly emerged from the ground like living creatures and coiled around the body of the great wizard Tingming like venomous snakes!

A thick tree root pierced straight into Tingming's body!
And that root was wriggling and contracting, as if some kind of blood-sucking creature was frantically devouring the blood and life force in his body!

The Great Wizard Tingming struggled incessantly, his eyes filled with extreme terror, his face contorted in pain, and his whole body convulsing in agony!
That heart-wrenching scream was his dying wail!
But in just a moment, his body visibly withered and turned pale, his breath became weak, and he didn't even have the strength to shout again!

Just moments ago, this level-three archmage was unleashing lightning storms and sweeping across the battlefield; now...

So this is how I'm going to die here!

This scene was too horrifying.

Bizarre, bloody, terrifying, horrific.

A mix of emotions swept across the battlefield in an instant. Whether it was the rebel army of wizards or the three people in the sky—Dusk Rain, Fire Raven, and Blood Lion—they all felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their hair standing on end!
An unnamed chill shot straight from the soles of my feet to the top of my head!
However, at that moment, a faint voice suddenly rang out:

"Now, it's your turn, the three of you."

The voice was calm and indifferent, but to the three great wizards, Twilight Rain, Fire Raven, and Blood Lion, it was like the whisper of a devil, sending chills down their spines!

Only then did they realize that a wizard dressed in black robes had been quietly standing beside the eerie tree.

The man simply waved his hand lightly.

"Shh-"

The roots of the demon tree slowly retracted, revealing the already lifeless Grand Wizard Tingming.

He was completely drained, his body and soul annihilated!
A dignified level three Grand Wizard fell on the battlefield, utterly powerless to resist!
However, this is not the most frightening part.

What truly sent chills down the spines of Mu Yu and the other two was that after the black-robed wizard retracted the tree root, he slowly raised his head and cast a pair of indifferent and ruthless eyes at them.

In an instant!
"Snapped!"

The eerie giant tree trembled violently, and three strange tree roots burst forth from the sky like three angry spears of demonic trees, carrying a destructive aura as they hurtled toward the three great wizards!

In that instant, the horrific scene of Tingming's death flashed through their minds almost simultaneously!
"Get out of here!!!"

The three were terrified and immediately used their secret techniques to dodge with all their might!
However, it was too fast!
The speed of the tree roots far exceeded their expectations; they were already close to their faces almost the instant they realized the danger!

Even the Blood Lion Grand Wizard, whose body was nearly invincible through physical refinement, felt his blood energy stagnate and had nowhere to hide!

"This...this power is actually...at the level of a third-level archmage?! A mere tree root possesses such power?!"

Fear completely consumed their minds!

The next instant, three demonic roots forcefully pierced through their bodies, embedding themselves deep into their flesh!
"what--!"

A wave of excruciating pain swept over their bodies, and the three screamed in unison as they watched helplessly as the tree roots devoured their life force and essence of flesh and blood!
At that moment, they finally regretted it.

I regret my greed and my stepping into this kingdom I should never have entered.

Unfortunately, this regret came too late.

Their lives vanished as swiftly as a river bursting its banks. In a mere moment, the three level-three archmages who had just been dominating the battlefield perished completely!

The air seemed to freeze.

The entire battlefield was deathly silent!

Four level-three archmages were wiped out in a single encounter!

At this moment, the black-robed wizard standing beside the demon tree, like a grand duke descended from hell, stood silently in place, as if he had become a taboo of the entire world!
Countless fearful and desperate gazes were cast upon him, but he remained calm, as if he had only accomplished a trivial task.

He spoke calmly:
"Helen, Bodo, Mona, and the rest, kill them all."

His tone was calm, yet it sounded like a verdict!

High in the sky, the three wizards immediately bowed in respect:
"I will obey Lord Qinglin's orders!"

When they looked up again, the big tree and the terrifying figure had vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed!
"Lord Qinglin has given the order—"

The great wizard Helen spoke coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in her eyes.

"Leave no one alive among these rebels!"

The next moment, the killing resumed!
