Free Web NovelChapter 203: Chapter 129: Is This Really a Fucking Level 1 Wizard?
In the blink of an eye, a layer of shimmering silver covered Pei Ze’s skin. Under the sunlight, his entire body refracted a metallic luster so dazzling one couldn’t look at him directly.
This bizarre sight left Yan Dong and Fang Na momentarily stunned.
Before the two could react, Pei Ze shot forward, transforming into a silver streak of light that rocketed ahead. In the blink of an eye, he was above the city wall.
Seeing Pei Ze’s menacing charge, the four Winter Frost Priests’ expressions turned grim.
The Oak Guardian and the surrounding Magical Creatures made it clear the intruder was strong. However, with one Second-Class Priest and three First-Class Priests on their side, they had no reason to fear a single opponent.
This was especially true after they used the Eye of Cold Winter and determined the intruder was merely a Level 1 Gaseous Wizard. The Priests’ gazes turned mocking.
Of course, they hadn’t seen the defensive barrier being shattered. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be wearing such expressions.
CRACKLE!
One Priest acted first. Amidst the sound of condensing ice, a swarm of icicles materialized from thin air and swept toward Pei Ze like a tempest.
Simultaneously, the other two First-Class Priests also attacked, unleashing two streams of intensely cold ice that assaulted Pei Ze from the left and right.
The elderly man in the lead, however, moved to the rear and began chanting in a low voice. The fluctuations of Divine Power around him surged violently, a clear sign he was preparing a powerful technique.
Pei Ze took it all in and scoffed to himself. A blue light suddenly flashed across his body as eight Lightning Runes appeared, one after another, and disappeared into him.
SIZZLE!
His body was instantly enveloped in a near-tangible layer of electric light, as if he had donned a suit of lightning armor.
Empowered by the Lightning Runes, Pei Ze’s speed skyrocketed. He dodged the icicle storm and the ice stream from the right, but it was too late to evade the one from the left.
However, he had no intention of dodging and charged straight into the stream of ice.
The bone-chilling current washed over Pei Ze, but most of it was neutralized and annihilated by the electric light covering his body. The remnants were powerless to affect him, his physique having been massively enhanced after his fusion with the Silver Star.
Completely unscathed, he burst through the stream of ice and appeared before one of the Priests in a flash. As the horrified Priest watched, Pei Ze casually threw a punch.
CRACK!
A crisp sound, like shattering glass, resounded from all over the Priest’s body as a total of five Divine Magical Protection Items instantly collapsed.
It was followed by a sound like a watermelon bursting, and a spray of red and yellow fluids splattered everywhere.
The Priest’s headless corpse went rigid for a moment before plummeting from the sky like a meteor, landing on the city wall with a heavy THUD.
"Odes!"
The other two Priests’ faces paled in horror.
The elderly man’s face fell as well.
The three of them never expected Pei Ze to be so ruthless, killing a Priest in a single exchange.
This level of power was, without a doubt, far beyond that of a Level 1 Gaseous Wizard!
"Damned Wizard!"
A tall, thin Priest cursed, then suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a great cloud of white, frigid air.
The frigid air surged forward, rapidly expanding. Crystalline snowflakes began to appear within it, and it quickly morphed into a full-blown blizzard that trapped Pei Ze.
Meanwhile, the other Priest pushed his hands forward, materializing countless Ice Chains that snaked toward Pei Ze like vipers.
Realizing Pei Ze’s true power, the two Priests immediately changed their tactics. They worked in concert to restrict his movements, buying time for the elderly man to cast his Divine Art.
Faced with their pincer attack, Pei Ze sneered internally. He unhesitatingly activated the magic tattoo on his chest and vanished on the spot.
He reappeared over a hundred meters away, well outside the blizzard’s range.
The Ice Chains struck nothing but air.
Without pausing, Pei Ze vanished again.
The moment Pei Ze had teleported the first time, the elderly man knew this was bad. Seeing him vanish again, he instantly activated all the Divine Magical Items on his person without hesitation.
Layer after layer of glowing halos materialized, enveloping him completely.
Additionally, four or five ice shields materialized out of thin air to circle around him.
The very next instant, just as he’d expected, he felt a powerful surge of energy from behind.
Countless dazzling arcs of electricity wrapped around a silver fist as it slammed heavily into his back.
CRACK!
The ice shields shattered instantly. The halos then collapsed and dissipated in succession, with more than half of them being annihilated in a moment.
Fortunately, that momentary delay was enough for the elderly man to finally complete his Divine Art.
The void before him instantly tore open, a rift forty to fifty meters long forming in a flash. A colossal beast emerged from within.
The beast resembled a winter wolf, but its body was composed entirely of ice. At first glance, it looked like a giant wolf’s head carved from crystal.
With the beast’s appearance, a terrifying chill instantly swept through the surroundings.
Frost began to condense out of thin air. A few of the closer Fog Crows were caught in the wave of cold, instantly turning into ice sculptures that fell to the ground and shattered.
"The Winter Frost Giant Beast!"
Not far away, Yan Dong’s expression changed drastically as he got a clear look at the beast.
Fang Na’s face fell as well.
The Winter Frost Giant Beast is known as a Holy Beast in the Winter Frost Sect, born with the innate and powerful ability to manipulate ice.
Yan Dong had heard others mention that when a group of Wizards were once defending a resource point, one of the attacking Turin People—a Priest—had summoned a Winter Frost Giant Beast.
The Wizard who fought it back then had already reached the Level 1 Crystalization Stage, yet he was turned into an ice sculpture by the beast and shattered with a single bite.
Without a doubt, this was an incredibly powerful Magical Creature!
"Now we’re in trouble," Yan Dong said, his brows knitted tightly.
"Not necessarily," Fang Na said hesitantly. "You saw the power of Pei Ze’s last attack. I doubt even a Winter Frost Giant Beast could withstand it!"
"That may be true," Yan Dong countered, "but an attack like that must have an enormous cost. If Pei Ze could use it a second time, he would have done so already instead of waiting."
Fang Na was left speechless, and a shadow of doubt fell over her face.
And indeed, Yan Dong’s guess was correct.
The crimson spear that shattered the defensive barrier had looked impressive, but it had consumed nearly half of Pei Ze’s Spiritual Power.
He could cast it one more time, but his Spiritual Power would be completely depleted, leaving him helpless.
That was clearly not a wise course of action.
’Good thing I have other trump cards.’
Facing the ferocious charge of the Winter Frost Giant Beast, Pei Ze wordlessly activated his Burning Magic Tattoo.
A dazzling light shone from his back, so bright that his clothes couldn’t conceal it.
Pei Ze made a grasping motion with his hand.
In an instant, countless points of dazzling electric light appeared in his palm, rapidly coalescing into a tangible Lightning Spear that he gripped tightly.
Blue light flowed across the spear’s surface, making it look as if it were formed from condensed plasma and giving off a terrifying, spine-chilling aura.
Merely looking at the spear made the hair on the back of the necks of the elderly man and the two Priests stand on end.
Before their shocked eyes, Pei Ze suddenly hurled the spear.
A deafening sonic boom erupted as a streak of lightning shot through the air like a meteor, precisely striking the Winter Frost Giant Beast’s massive body!
BOOM!
A violent blast of lightning erupted, rapidly expanding in all directions until it became a massive sphere of electricity that completely engulfed the Winter Frost Giant Beast.
For a moment, a thousand-meter radius was filled with a blinding flash of lightning.
The elderly man and the two Priests scrambled backward, staring in horror at the ball of light in the distance.
Soon, the lightning dissipated, revealing a shocking, enormous crater.
The Winter Frost Giant Beast was gone without a trace, consumed by the lightning with not even a speck left behind.
Seeing this, the faces of the elderly man and the two Priests turned ashen.
The Holy Beast they had painstakingly summoned, which they thought would easily defeat their enemy, had instead been effortlessly destroyed.
The immense power their enemy now displayed made their blood run cold.
Nearby, Yan Dong and Fang Na were also staring, completely dumbfounded.
’A Winter Frost Giant Beast capable of killing a Level 1 Crystalized Wizard... was annihilated in an instant?’
For a moment, both of them had the absurd feeling that they were dreaming.
’Is he really a fucking Level 1 Wizard?’
