Chapter 482: Chapter 241: Power of Rules vs. Wizard Tower (Part 2)

Soon, the man and the bat arrived at the scene of the battle.

Just as Pei Ze had guessed, a massive Wizard melee unfolded before his eyes.

Over a hundred Wizards were locked in a chaotic brawl, with more than a third of them being Elemental Mages.

High above, more than ten Wizard Towers were also engaged in combat. Two massive Wizard Towers in particular stood out.

’Large Wizard Towers... no, more than that. They’re reinforced.’

’Their masters are most likely Sixth-level Wizards.’

Pei Ze’s gaze swept across the battling crowd. He soon noticed that over half of them wore a black and red badge on their chests.

The badge’s color was like long-dried blood, exuding an almost tangible, bloody aura. Its face depicted two clasped, crimson gloves.

It signified their identity as members of the Silver Light Legion’s Witch Hunting Team.

"The Witch Hunting Team!"

Pei Ze’s expression shifted as he immediately recalled something. His eyes scanned the crowd, and sure enough, he found Yin Xue.

Before coming to the Abyss, Pei Ze had heard Yin Xue mention that the Silver Light Legion was coming to capture renegade Wizards. It was obvious that the ones fighting the Witch Hunting Team now were those same renegades.

In that case, the identity of the master of the massive Wizard Tower high above was all but certain—the former Dawn Council Councillor and Sixth-level Wizard, Pan Mo!

’What a coincidence.’

A strange glint flashed in Pei Ze’s eyes.

At the same time, the Wizards in the melee also noticed the arrival of the uninvited guest.

Despite his mask, Gold Stone and Ghostly Shadow recognized Pei Ze immediately and both frowned.

’How did he get here?’

On the other side, the members of the Witch Hunting Team also showed looks of surprise and uncertainty.

’Is this newcomer friend or foe?’

Yin Xue stared intently at the newcomer. For some reason, he gave her a strangely familiar feeling.

Her opponent, a Wizard, keenly seized the moment Yin Xue’s focus wavered. Killing intent flared in his eyes as he spat out a blindingly brilliant crimson light that shot toward her like a sharp arrow.

Before the attack even reached her, Yin Xue felt a searing heat wash over her, burning her skin. The fear of death instantly enveloped her heart.

At the critical moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of her. He reached out a finger, and a blazing bolt of lightning instantly tore through the air, striking the incoming crimson light head-on.

With a soft POP, the crimson light was mercilessly torn apart and annihilated by the lightning. The bolt continued onward, striking the enemy Wizard between the eyebrows.

As the lightning exploded, the Wizard was instantly reduced to ashes without so much as a grunt.

The sudden turn of events instantly drew everyone’s attention.

Yin Xue stared blankly at the figure before her. In that instant, as if acting on instinct, she blurted out:

"Junior!"

Pei Ze turned, took off his mask, and smiled. "Fancy meeting you here, Senior."

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing that familiar face, a joyful and surprised smile spread across Yin Xue’s face.

At the same time, upon seeing Pei Ze’s face clearly, the members of the Silver Light Legion’s Witch Hunting Team all showed expressions of pleasant surprise.

"Pei Ze!"

"He’s here too?"

"Haha, so he’s one of us."

In contrast, the enemies’ faces all changed drastically in unison.

Gold Stone and Ghostly Shadow’s hearts sank to the pit of their stomachs.

Of course they recognized the most brilliant Wizard prodigy from Chenxi City.

They just never imagined that the mysterious Wizard who had put on such a stunning performance in the bloody battle was actually Pei Ze.

Besides, they had witnessed Pei Ze’s power with their own eyes.

Right now, they could still hold off the Witch Hunting Team, but if Pei Ze joined the fight, the situation would become dire for them.

And this worry soon became a reality.

"Let’s deal with the enemies first and chat later."

Pei Ze smiled at Yin Xue, and in the next second, he had already transformed into a streak of lightning, darting toward the nearest renegade Wizard.

That Wizard was merely a Level 4 Element Wizard. Facing Pei Ze’s attack, he only had time to unleash a great sheet of flame before both he and his fire were torn to shreds by the surging lightning!

He had brazenly killed a Level 4 Wizard in a single exchange.

The terrifying power Pei Ze displayed made many of the Wizards present gasp.

Many of them had heard of Pei Ze, but this was the first time they had witnessed his power firsthand. Only now did they understand that his reputation was well-deserved.

After their shock, the members of the Witch Hunting Team beamed with joy, while the renegade Wizards, in contrast, turned pale.

Pei Ze paid no mind to the stares around him. His entire body had already taken on a translucent, lightning-like form, weaving through the crowd like a stream of light and constantly reaping the lives of his enemies.

Renegade Wizards below Level 5 basically couldn’t even survive a single exchange.

In the short span of four or five breaths, more than ten Wizards had already died at Pei Ze’s hands, making Gold Stone and Ghostly Shadow’s scalps tingle with terror.

Just then, a dull whistling sound suddenly erupted. A piercing, azure light tore through the sky, aimed directly at Pei Ze.

Pei Ze’s figure came to a sudden halt. With a casual lift of his hand, swirling lightning formed a shield in front of him.

CRACK!

The moment the blue light hit the shield, thick, solid ice instantly appeared. But before it could spread, it was annihilated by the lightning.

Pei Ze looked up. The one attacking him was none other than a Wizard Tower.

’A Medium-sized Wizard Tower. A Level 5 Wizard, then.’

Pei Ze sneered, shot into the sky, and charged fearlessly toward the Wizard Tower.

Seeing this, many people’s eyes widened in astonishment.

’That’s a Medium-sized Wizard Tower controlled by a Level 5 Wizard! You’re just going to face it head-on?’

’Where does he get that confidence?’

Yin Xue’s eyes immediately filled with worry.

The renegade Wizards, on the other hand, showed looks of delight.

’If this terrifying opponent dies to the Wizard Tower, a huge threat to us will be eliminated.’

Among the crowd, only Gold Stone and Ghostly Shadow remained pale-faced.

Only they knew just how terrifying Pei Ze’s true power was.

"Overestimating his own abilities."

Seeing Pei Ze charge straight at him, the Level 5 Wizard inside the Wizard Tower sneered in disdain. With a thought, all the Spell Towers aimed at Pei Ze.

The next moment, hundreds of Energy Beams rained down like a torrential storm!

Facing the enemy’s fierce onslaught, Pei Ze’s expression remained perfectly calm from beginning to end.

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, a drop of the Power of Rules suddenly burst open. It transformed into a surging energy that flooded out of his body, instantly enveloping him completely and sealing him without a single gap.

The dense barrage of Energy Beams then struck Pei Ze, but they were like a clay ox sinking into the sea—utterly ineffective.

"How is that possible?!"

The Level 5 Wizard’s eyes went wide in an instant, his expression one of utter disbelief.

That last volley was powerful enough to blast a Level 5 Wizard to smithereens. No matter how strong, a Level 5 Wizard could not have possibly survived... or so it should have been!

But what was this happening right before his eyes?

Pei Ze had actually blocked it!

The Wizards who had been watching were all dumbfounded.

’He can do that?!’

Before anyone could recover from their shock, the lightning around Pei Ze’s body suddenly flared, blazing like a white-hot sun.

The energy of seven full drops of the Power of Rules erupted at once. The resulting Thunder Elemental Energy was so dense it almost became liquid, and it shot toward the Wizard Tower like a burning meteor.

BOOM!

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the white-hot sun slammed into the Wizard Tower!

In that instant, a faint halo emerged on the surface of the Wizard Tower—the Maze Locking Protective Energy Field.

However, after a stalemate of only two or three seconds, the Energy Force Field shattered with a roar. The white-hot sun then crashed heavily into the Wizard Tower’s main body!

Although the Energy Force Field had weakened it, and the white-hot sun had lost more than half its power, the remaining energy still smashed a huge gap into the Wizard Tower. From a distance, it looked as if a giant bite had been taken out of the middle of a sharp bamboo shoot.

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Both friend and foe alike stopped fighting in unison, their gazes vacant as they stared at the Wizard Tower and Pei Ze.

To fight a Medium-sized Wizard Tower controlled by a peer-level Wizard single-handedly, not only emerging unscathed but also heavily damaging the tower in return—if they hadn’t seen such an absurd thing with their own eyes, no one would have ever believed it.

But even so, this dreamlike scene still caused everyone’s pupils to shrink, their minds going completely blank.
