Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Wutian stood at the very center of the line, surrounded by holy-marked wizards of the Chaos Egg and those high-ranking demons.

The demons were several times larger than him, but their presence seemed to be diminished in his presence.

It was as if he were the center of the world.

Wu Tian's gaze fell on Lynn, his eyes scrutinizing her, but he showed no sign of making a move.

Was it this kid who ruined my grand plan?

Lynn naturally realized that Wu Tiancai was the leader of this group, and guessed their identities from the demons around them.

Those swarming bugs from the Chaos Egg!

However, he did not expect the Chaos Egg to be so powerful, with so many Saint-level combatants attacking him alone.

If all forces were mobilized, they could easily take down some first- or second-rate wizarding forces.

As for top-tier forces like the "Tower of Bones," even True Spirits would find it difficult to breach, let alone these Holy Marks.

Little did Lynn know that this was already the full extent of the Chaos Egg's power.

The Chaos Egg has gone all out to deal with itself.

Now that his side was at a disadvantage, Lynn did not rush to summon his underlings to fight back, nor did he rush to activate the Holy Mark Domain. He simply quickly reviewed the comparison of the numbers of both sides in his mind.

The opposing force consisted of twenty-three Saint-level combatants, including eleven Saint-level demons, three Saint-level undead from Marfa, and Saint-level members of the Chaos Egg.

The man who resembled the leader of the Chaos Egg was at the peak of the Saint Mark level, and there were also three demon lords at the high-level of the Saint Mark level.

The rest are "miscellaneous" characters at the initial and intermediate levels of the Holy Mark.

His own side's number of Stigmata combatants was not inferior.

Aldric is at the peak of the Stigmata, and Wanxiang is at the high level of the Stigmata, but they can also unleash combat power beyond the high level in the Stigmata World.

Void Bat Demon, Nether Wolf King, Chaos Dragon, Casper, and two other mid-level alchemy masters are mid-level Saint Marks.

The Demon Eye, the Divine Abomination, the Berserker Demon (God of War), the Three Great Dragon Gods, and the Six Beginner Alchemy Masters are the Beginner Saint Marks.

Including himself, a "freak" who can fight beyond his level, in terms of numbers, he is only two fewer than his opponent.

But the accounts cannot be calculated that way.

His own ten alchemy masters were sealed by a restriction, which was connected to the world of the Holy Mark, so he could not release them to fight.

If they turn against us or run away, we will be in an even more passive position.

The three dragon gods and the War God Berserker Demon are "subordinate gods" of the Holy Mark world.

Their strength is tied to the Stigmata World; they can only act within the Stigmata World, and are helpless once they leave it.

They must be brought into one's own Stigmata World, or the projection of the Stigmata Domain must be spread across the battlefield, before they will have a chance to make a move.

But the other party clearly didn't intend to give him time to make a plan.

Lynn's attention lingered on Wutian for only a moment before shifting to Marfa.

Clearly, this was a trap set by Marfa for himself.

I originally thought that by going back to Alphonse, I could lure this woman out and then kill her quietly.

I didn't expect this woman to be so fierce. Before I even went to find her, she struck first.

Moreover... they even colluded with the people of the Chaos Egg.

However, it's not surprising that dark wizards and evil wizards collude.

Let's get out of this predicament first.

Lynn had mobilized all his mental energy. After advancing to the mid-level of the Saint Mark, his mental energy surged to eight hundred workstations, all of which were activated simultaneously and aimed at the closing witch array structure.

This witchcraft formation is extremely complex; it was clearly meticulously arranged.

The arrangement of those array patterns was different from the witch arrays he had seen before; the structure was more complex and had more nested layers.

The connection between each layer is precisely calculated. The outer layer confines the space, the middle layer suppresses the rules, and the inner layer weakens the expansion of the domain. The three layers are nested together to form a complete blocking system.

Lynn quickly scanned the structure of the array patterns, confirming the node distribution of the outer confinement space, the rune arrangement of the middle suppression rules, and the energy flow path of the inner weakening domain.

His analysis is progressing smoothly, and as long as he maintains the current pace, he will soon find a way to sever the structure of this witch array.

However, the enemy won't be so lenient as to give him time to analyze the situation.

He needs to maintain the current pace and stall for time while the analysis is completed.

Try using your persuasive skills! Every second you can buy yourself time increases your chances of escaping.

Lynn stood still, his gaze sweeping between Marfa and Wutian before finally settling on Marfa's mask.

His tone softened slightly when he spoke, carrying a sense of relaxation:

"Marfa, you've made such a big fuss just to deal with me? We don't have any deep-seated grudge between us, do we?"

A short, soft laugh came from behind Marfa's mask, carrying clearly through the void.

She tilted her head slightly: "Little brother Lynn, you don't need to pretend. We both know the grudge between us."

Her voice remained steady, with a slight rise at the end, and confident of victory, she readily admitted:

"That's right. I did play a part in the chase you faced during your apprenticeship. I sent three apprentices to cooperate with Morpheus in trying to seize your soul."

"I just didn't expect that such a young apprentice could grow so fast and break through several levels in such a short time."

"When Morpheus died at your hands, I knew I had underestimated you. Later, when you advanced to the Saint Mark and fought three against one, the situation had already begun to spiral out of control."

Lynn remained silent; on his analysis panel, the scanning progress of the mid-level suppression rule runes continued to advance.

Marfa stopped her short laugh, her voice returning to its previous calm as she continued her victory speech:

"Now I can only make up for my past mistakes in my own way."

Lynn frowned:

"Your method? Your method is to collude with those scoundrels from the Chaos Egg to ambush and kill your own academy's colleagues?"

His voice was slightly higher than before: "What good will come of cooperating with them? Once they've used you, you'll be the one to be dealt with."

He paused, then said earnestly, "Father, stop. The area outside is full of the holy marks of the Bone Spire. Do you really think this can be kept secret?"

At this point, Lynn's expression changed slightly, and he said with utmost sincerity, "Besides, I don't blame you at all for what happened back then. In fact, I should thank you."

"It was after that assassination attempt that I not only survived, but also turned misfortune into a blessing, successfully undergoing my mentor's 'death metamorphosis' and becoming a full-fledged wizard."

"Therefore, I feel no hatred towards you whatsoever, and even gratitude..."
