Free Web NovelChapter 204: Chapter 130: Just How Many of You Are There?
Looking down at the shocking crater below, Pei Ze let out a long breath, a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.
This was the first time he had tested the burning power of his Magic Tattoos in real combat.
As expected, it didn’t disappoint.
Its power was even greater than a Silver Star stacked with Elemental Runes and Elemental Power!
’The cost is just a bit high. That’s over a thousand Magic Stone Coins gone in an instant, and I’ll have to get the Magic Tattoo reapplied afterward.’
Pei Ze retracted his gaze, turning to the old man and the two Winter Frost Priests.
When they saw Pei Ze’s gaze fall upon them, the faces of all three paled, and they subconsciously took half a step back.
Pei Ze gave a mocking laugh and, without hesitation, activated the Giant Magic Tattoo and Light Spirit Magic Tattoo on his body. At the same time, he cast Barbaric Strength Technique, Tenacity Technique, and Light Spirit Technique upon himself.
As the auras of various Magic spells flared to life, his physical attributes were instantly enhanced to a terrifying degree!
In a flash, Pei Ze appeared behind one of the Priests and threw a punch.
SPLAT!
The Priest didn’t even have time to react. All the protective spells on his body disintegrated instantly, and his head exploded like a water balloon!
"!!!"
The old man and the tall, thin Priest paled in horror. Without a second thought, they turned to flee.
After witnessing Pei Ze’s terrifying power, they had lost all will to fight.
Their only thought was to escape and report what had happened.
Of course, Pei Ze wasn’t about to let his prey escape. He flickered forward, catching up to the tall, thin Priest in an instant.
Feeling the energy fluctuations behind him, the tall, thin Priest’s face contorted. In desperation, he frantically channeled his Divine Power, unleashing a torrent of cold air behind him to stop Pei Ze.
But Pei Ze didn’t even spare it a glance. He threw a punch, and the resulting surge of lightning completely annihilated the cold current before crashing into the tall, thin Priest with unstoppable force.
With a deafening BOOM, the tall, thin Priest was instantly turned to a charred husk and plummeted to the ground like a falling star.
Without a second glance, Pei Ze turned and pursued the old man.
The pursuer and the pursued soon vanished over the horizon.
Only then did Yan Dong and Fang Na snap out of their shock. They stared at the ravaged fortress walls, speechless for a long time.
They had never seen a Wizard like Pei Ze before.
He was clearly only at the first level, yet his endless arsenal of powerful techniques was in no way inferior to that of a Second-level Wizard.
A heavily guarded fortress, garrisoned by numerous Winter Frost Priests and Sect Knights, had been utterly destroyed by him alone.
If someone had told them just moments before that a newly advanced Wizard could accomplish such a feat, they would have scoffed in disbelief.
But now, this unimaginable event had unfolded right before their very eyes.
For a moment, they were utterly awestruck. They finally understood the saying that a man’s reputation precedes him. The rumors were true—Pei Ze was indeed the most brilliant genius Chenxi City had seen in a century.
Maybe even longer than that.
Su Ya and Peng Yan, however, weren’t as lost in thought.
Having witnessed Pei Ze’s miraculous victories multiple times, the two of them had long held unshakable faith in his decisions.
Although they were equally amazed by Pei Ze’s power, they quickly snapped out of it and ran toward the castle to secure the battlefield.
The two of them were very clear about their roles.
With their current level of strength, they were no help to Pei Ze in battle.
The only thing they could do was secure the battlefield and handle miscellaneous chores.
Someday, when their strength increased, perhaps they could finally be of help to Pei Ze in a fight.
With the four Winter Frost Priests dead or fled, the remaining Turin Knights lost their will to fight. They scattered and fled, but they didn’t get far before being cut down by the pursuing Fog Crows.
Even the burly man, a Sect Knight Squad Leader and Tier Two Legendary Knight, had his skull crushed by Wuyu. He collapsed and died, his face a mask of indignation and despair.
After finishing off the enemies near the fortress walls, Wuyu tilted its head back and let out a piercing cry. The murder of crows instantly dispersed, spreading throughout the castle to hunt down the remaining Turin People.
Shaking themselves from their reverie, Yan Dong and Fang Na hurried into the castle.
Using their prior reconnaissance of the castle’s layout, the two quickly found the entrance to the underground dungeon.
Thirty to forty prisoners were locked away in the dim dungeon.
They had noticed the tremendous commotion outside long ago. Guessing that a Wizard was attacking the fortress, they had been waiting with a mixture of hope and trepidation. The moment they saw someone enter, they all rushed to the bars of their cells to look.
"Are you from Red Maple City?"
"It’s a Wizard! Haha, we’re saved!"
"My lords, I’m from Red Maple City! Please, let me out!"
"Yan Dong? Fang Na? What are you two doing here?"
A middle-aged man who recognized Yan Dong and Fang Na stared at them in astonishment.
"Cheng He!"
Yan Dong rushed forward and looked Cheng He up and down. Seeing that he was merely haggard and not badly injured, Yan Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
"How are you?"
"I’m alright." Cheng He gave a self-deprecating smile. "The Turin People probably saw me as a valuable commodity, so they didn’t mistreat me too badly. However, all of us here were forced to take some kind of magic-suppressing drug. We can’t use our Spiritual Power or Elemental Power. On top of that, a Divine Art was cast on us, so our physical constitutions are no better than an ordinary person’s now."
At this, Cheng He’s expression tensed. He quickly asked, "What’s the situation outside? If it’s too dangerous, don’t worry about me. Just get out of here. Taking a burden like me with you would be a huge disadvantage."
Normally, the other prisoners might have marveled at the deep friendship between Cheng He, Yan Dong, and Fang Na. But now, having finally seen rescuers arrive, they couldn’t bear the thought of Yan Dong and Fang Na leaving. They were on the verge of bursting out in angry curses.
