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

Outside the mechanical capital, the brilliance of rule-based sorcery exploded one after another.

Those were one after another, fully unleashed spells of the rules, each strike like pouring molten lava onto the energy shield of this steel behemoth.

The azure water curtain shield trembled violently, rippling with almost white-hot, twisting waves, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Inside the city, this confrontation manifested as continuous rumbling thunder and tremors.

As one of the ten cities in Nightmare Rift Valley, the Mechanical City was originally designed as an aerospace mothership that would never crash.

Although at this moment it is swaying like a leaf in a storm under the bombardment of rule-based magic.

However, its deeply embedded defensive matrix structure is extremely robust, and even with the combined efforts of several Morning Star Wizards, they were unable to break through this steel fortress in a short period of time.

However, by this time, the Morning Star Wizards in the city had already followed the Evil Wizard and Flet to the depths of the Nightmare Rift to meet Sel.

While the defensive formation is indeed formidable, its energy depletion is only a matter of time when it is unattended and relies solely on automated sequences for operation.

The wizards of the Meteor Council were initially immersed in their usual comfort until the tremor spread to every gear, which startled them from their confusion.

"It's an enemy attack! Someone is launching a full-scale assault on the Mechanical City!"

"Quickly! Send a message to the adults!"

"Don't panic! Everyone go to the energy layer and push the power pressure to its limit! We must hold out until the adults come back!"

Just as the level three archmages were scrambling around like headless flies, a shadow was rapidly descending along the dome of the third level.

Lynn concealed all of the Morning Star Wizard's aura; he was like a ghost wandering between steel cracks.

Under the cover of chaos, he easily passed through the heavily guarded passageway and reached the energy core on the first floor.

At the heart of the energy layer, an enormous core energy source shines with a light as brilliant as a star; it is the "heart" of the entire city.

Surrounding this great sun, countless honeycomb-shaped cages were densely carved into the surrounding metal walls.

Lynn moved with lightning speed, his mental energy spreading out like a tidal wave.

To his surprise, such an important place didn't even have a single Morning Star level guard.

"The Meteor Council really trusts the array of this Nightmare Rift Valley... Unless the array is attacked and broken, it's impossible for anyone to sneak in... But unfortunately, His Majesty Radiant Moon made a move, directly bypassing the array and sending us in..."

This kind of cross-level, dimensional reduction attack was clearly beyond the imagination of the wizards in the Meteor Council. They never expected that His Majesty the Radiant Moon had already entered the game.

Now that there were no more Morning Star wizards guarding this place, Lynn had no more worries.

The long-suppressed aura surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, and the secret technique "Zhi Fang Li Tian" was instantly activated!
"call out!"

A piercing explosion ripped through the air.

Lynn transformed into a slender, sharp gray line, his speed exceeding the limits of what the naked eye could perceive.

The gray light trailed out layers upon layers of afterimages in the void, as if space itself had been forcibly cut apart by the gray light.

At the same time, the terrifying pressure unique to the Morning Star Wizard was unleashed like a volcano without reservation.

That solidified spiritual power was no longer an illusory perception, but transformed into immense pressure, crashing down on the guardian wizards in the energy layer.

"not good--!"

"what!"

The screams abruptly stopped.

Faced with absolute hierarchical suppression, the guards of the Meteor Council didn't even have a chance to chant before their wills were forcibly crushed by the tidal wave of spiritual power.

They seemed to be sealed in ice that had never melted for millennia, their expressions frozen in extreme terror, their bodies stiff, reduced to lifeless sculptures.

This unbridled Morning Star fluctuation not only intimidated the guards, but also struck like a heavy hammer against the iron bars of the beehive cages.

"That aura... it's the Morning Star Wizard! Is he attacking the guards?"

"Could it be that parliamentary reinforcements have broken in?!"

"Look! He's coming this way!"

The deathly silent prison area was suddenly thrown into turmoil.

In those honeycomb-like cubicles, several once-powerful Morning Star wizards were peering out from close to the fence.

Among them were Lynn's old enemy, the Machine Wizard, and Davin's cheap teacher, the Warhammer Master.

Lynn moved with lightning speed, yet a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

When he last controlled the Spirit Eye Wizard to infiltrate, these powerful beings were like withered shells, their spiritual energy forcibly extracted, serving as "human batteries" to nourish the heart of the city.

But now, although they are still weak and imprisoned, their sunken eye sockets clearly show that they have regained their individual rationality.

"Boom!"

The entire mechanical city shook violently once again, and the sharp sound of metal rubbing against metal echoed endlessly in the energy layer.

Clearly, the frenzied attacks from the Morning Star Wizards have forced the Mechanical City to divert all its surplus energy to reinforce its external shields.

"It seems the external pressure is too great. The energy layer of the Mechanical City is focused on protecting the array and has no time to attend to them..."

Lynn instantly understood the whole story.

These unfortunate "batteries" unexpectedly gained a respite due to the strain on city defenses.

At this rate, even without my intervention, the Morning Star Wizards here will soon be able to extricate themselves...

Lynn snorted coldly, his speed increasing instead of decreasing, and he sped straight toward the target location.

There, several pairs of eyes, a mixture of hope and wariness, were fixed on the gray shadow that had torn through space.

"But friends of the Wizarding Council?! We are all Morning Stars trapped here. If you could lend a helping hand, we would be extremely grateful!"

The Warhammer Master's urgent voice echoed in the narrow cell, drowning out the faint roar from the outside.

"call out!"

The gray shadow arrived in an instant, and then Lynn's figure suddenly froze in front of the cage.

This transition from extreme stillness to extreme motion completely disregards physical inertia, as if he were not flying, but rather directly nailing himself to this spatial coordinate system.

The black wizard's robes swayed slightly, revealing an excessively young and handsome face beneath the hood, but his eyes held a hint of coldness.

Just as the imprisoned Morning Star wizards were about to start a conversation, Lynn's gaze swept over them, coldly locking onto the mechanical wizard in the corner.

Without a word, Lynn's thoughts raced, and in that instant, the wavelengths around him resonated with the World Tree deep within his consciousness. His right arm began to twist and mutate without warning!
"Snap! Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking, mixed with the strange noise of wood fibers being pulled out, sounded particularly jarring in the quiet energy layer.

The arm, along with the entire sleeve, exploded in an instant, transforming into several powerful, gnarled, and ancient tree roots, resembling ancient dragons.

These roots coiled and strangled, their tips hardening and elongating rapidly under the baptism of the power of rules, instantly condensing into a wooden spear exuding terrifying killing intent.

The wooden spear was filled with the surging power of the rules of creation!
The next instant, the tree root spear transformed into a streak of emerald light, piercing through the dark prison cell.

"Hey!"

The mechanical wizard didn't even have time to react. Keep in mind that the mechanical wizard is still being completely suppressed by the formation of the Mechanical City.

Even though he is a fourth-level Morning Star Wizard, he is no different from a mortal!
The spear pierced his forehead with pinpoint accuracy, like a sharp blade cutting through rotten leather. Its stark white tip emerged from the back of his head, leaving a trail of blood.

"boom!"

The power of the rules attached to the spear exploded inside the skull like a volcano.

This once-powerful puppet wizard, who dominated the mechanical capital, now had a fragile mental state as well as a physical body.

It completely disintegrated under this attack, turning into a spray of blood mist and debris.

This was pure, overwhelming force of the rules, tearing his body and even his mental domain apart, signifying the complete annihilation of the Morning Star Wizard!
A deathly silence.

Lynn slowly withdrew his arm, which had returned to its original state, without even a drop of blood on his fingertips.

Only then did the Warhammer Master and the others seem to wake up from a nightmare, gasping in unison.

"hiss……"

The sounds of gasping for breath echoed throughout the cells.

The wizards, who had been so eager to call for help just moments before, now instinctively shrank back.

Everyone stared in horror at the young, handsome face, a sense of fear rising within them, lest they be next.

However, Lynn killed the Ghoul Wizard merely to avenge himself, and had no intention of continuing to target these Morning Star Wizards.

Rather than killing them, it's better to release them to harass the Mechanical City, or even use them to kill Ilo and make them his allies...

"Gentlemen, I have an old grudge against the mechanical wizard, and today I am merely seeking revenge! It has nothing to do with you!"

Lynn's gaze swept across the crowd, and the Morning Star Wizards whose gaze fell upon him all trembled slightly, fearing that Lynn would strike them with a spear.

"You may all call me the Wizard of Green Forest. I am here today to carry out a mission from the Wizard Council..."

"The Wizarding Council has announced a full-scale recapture of Nightmare Rift. The Golden Pen Sage even personally participated in this operation... so everyone need not worry about safety..."

After Lynn gave a brief introduction, he stopped talking and the mutated right arm began to wriggle again.

The originally sharp spears unfurled, transforming into several thick, ancient bronze-colored tree roots, as thick as pythons.

These roots, carrying a wild and untamed life force, forcefully entwined themselves around the crystal-clear cage door, which was shrouded in complex restrictions.

"Crack!"

The cage doors were frantically drawing energy from the energy layer, attempting to resist this invasion of the rule layer.

However, Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly, and the illusory image of the World Tree in his sea of ​​consciousness swayed gently, unleashing a powerful force of creating rules!
The restrictions completely collapsed, and the heavy gate was torn apart by Lynn.

As the layers of pale blue energy membrane dissipated, the Morning Star Wizards, who had been imprisoned for many days, felt the chains that had been suppressing their souls finally break inch by inch.

The long-lost spiritual energy slowly rose within his body like withered trees blossoming in spring. Although still weak, it had begun to recover gradually.

They looked at Lynn's expression and felt a little relieved. It seemed that this Morning Star Wizard was indeed sent by the Wizarding Council to rescue them.

As for the fact that the other party killed the puppet wizards "for personal revenge," these wizards naturally didn't care.

Firstly, it's not hard to tell from his attire that he should be a dark wizard, and it's not unusual for a "morally corrupt" dark wizard to use his position to settle personal scores.

Secondly, their relationship with the Puppet Wizard wasn't good enough for them to avenge him. Now that they had finally been rescued, their strength hadn't been fully restored, and they were still counting on this Morning Star Wizard to take them out.

Lynn was not worried even though he killed their "colleague," the mechanical wizard, right in front of them.

After all, these people have been imprisoned for a long time, and it is impossible for them to recover in a short period of time.

"Gentlemen, the outside of the Mechanical City is currently under attack by the remaining Morning Star Wizards, while inside the Mechanical City, there should still be a Morning Star Wizard from the Meteor Council stationed there."

"Therefore, why don't you all come with me and first deal with the Morning Star Wizard guarding this place? Then, we can work together from the inside and outside to break the array of the Mechanical City..."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the group, including the Warhammer Master, changed slightly. Having just been freed, they certainly did not want to directly engage in battle with the Morning Star Wizard.

Ideally, we should stay in the energy layer to recover our strength as soon as possible, or go to the Mechanical City to find some resources to recover.

But this young and handsome wizard had just killed the mechanical wizard right in front of them. Given this precedent, the Morning Star wizards didn't dare to refuse outright for the time being.

Lynn glanced at the crowd, a slight smile playing on his lips. His earlier scare tactic seemed to have worked well, effectively intimidating these Morning Star wizards.

"Everyone, since you all agree, let's go to the seventh floor together. Let's deal with the elven wizard guarding it as soon as possible, so we can reunite with the people outside..."

"Otherwise, once that Radiant Moon being from the Meteorite Council appears, we might not even be able to escape..."

After Lynn finished speaking, he flew directly towards the outside world. Upon hearing the words "the existence of the Meteor Council's Radiant Moon," the Morning Star Wizards' expressions changed drastically, and they followed Lynn.

They did not doubt Lynn. Firstly, when the Meteor Council blitzed and occupied Nightmare Rift Valley, he had already demonstrated power far exceeding that of a level six Morning Star Wizard.

Now that so many years have passed, it is only natural that she has gone further to become His Majesty the Moon.

Secondly, since, as this Qinglin Wizard said, even the Golden Pen Calligraphy Sage has taken action, it means that the Meteor Council must possess the same Radiant Moon.

Therefore, the group naturally dared not delay any longer and wanted to help the Green Forest Wizard deal with the elven guardian wizard as soon as possible so that they could reunite with the outside world.

………………

The entire mechanical city is in chaos, and the seventh floor is no exception.

In the Elven territory, many high-ranking Elven leaders were gathered, their expressions filled with unease as they watched the collapse of the surrounding mechanical capital.

"Have you informed Lord Iro yet?"

"How can we get there? That person is in seclusion, recuperating. Apart from Lady Lori, no one dares to approach, nor can anyone get close..."

The elven prince Alton frowned and casually beckoned to someone:
"Where is Lori? Why can't we find her at this crucial moment? Call her maid..." (End of Chapter)
