Chapter 233: Chapter 143: Total Annihilation, 40 Lightning Runes
Only then did Xu Bo realize with horror that under the Winter Frost Priest’s one-sided slaughter, he was the last of his fellow Wizards left alive.
CRACK!
The layer of solid ice on Andri’s hand didn’t seem to be an ordinary Divine Art, but rather some powerful Sacred Artifact.
The Tier Two Witchcraft Artifact Xu Bo used for protection barely held for an instant before shattering. The icy palm drove straight through, piercing his heart as Xu Bo looked on in horror and despair.
Andri’s expression was icy as he suddenly clenched his fist, instantly crushing Xu Bo’s heart.
THUD!
Another body hit the ground.
Andri withdrew his hand. The ice covering it, along with the blood, slowly vanished.
Looking at the corpses littering the ground, a flash of contempt crossed his eyes.
’Compared to the young Wizard I met last time, this group of Wizards is pathetically weak.’
’I could have easily dealt with them all by myself, even without the other Priests.’
’But that young Wizard, on the other hand...’
Even now, the memory of that day sent a shiver down Andri’s spine.
Shaking his head, he dispelled the distracting thoughts, ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and then flew off toward the valley.
...
「Red Maple City. Magic Laboratory.」
Pei Ze dismissed his Mage’s Hand and looked at the new Magic Tattoo on his right arm, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
Without hesitation, he activated the Magic Tattoo. He felt a surging wave of energy instantly sweep through his body. In a flash, the density of his muscles and bones spiked by several notches.
"Such a powerful effect. It’s truly worthy of being an Upper-Level Magic Tattoo."
Pei Ze moved excitedly, then began to apply the Lightning Runes.
He didn’t stop until he had simultaneously applied twenty-two Lightning Runes, at which point his body began to feel strained and overloaded.
"That’s five more Lightning Runes than I can handle in my normal state."
Pei Ze nodded in satisfaction.
Each additional Lightning Rune placed a much greater demand on his physique.
Being able to add five more Lightning Runes was a testament to the formidable power of the Upper-Level Magic Tattoo.
’Time to try fusing with Silver Star,’ Pei Ze thought.
Pei Ze began a new round of tests, and the results left him very satisfied.
With the dual enhancement from fusing with Silver Star and activating the Tough Magic Tattoo, the number of Lightning Runes he could bear at one time skyrocketed to a staggering thirty-seven.
’And this is just in my normal state.’
’If I don’t consider the consumption of Spiritual Power, I could reach a maximum of forty at my absolute limit!’
’That’s already double the number I had when I fought Pei Zhanqing!’
’And this is just from activating it. I wonder what would happen if I were to burn the Tough Magic Tattoo?’
Pei Ze was eager to try, but after a moment’s thought, he abandoned the idea.
The materials for the Tough Magic Tattoo had cost him a full six thousand-plus Magic Stone Coins.
He currently had less than one thousand Magic Stone Coins to his name, which wasn’t nearly enough to cover the cost of creating it a second time.
Wizards were just that kind of creature: perpetually in a state of being both extremely wealthy and extremely broke.
’Should I brew some Resonance Potions to sell?’
Pei Ze mulled it over, but he quickly dismissed the thought.
’The time it would take to brew and sell Resonance Potions would be better spent earning more Merit Points.’
’I can use Merit Points to buy the materials I need anyway.’
’One Upper-Level Magic Tattoo, five Intermediate Magic Tattoos... this is my body’s current limit.’
’To get a second Upper-Level Magic Tattoo, I estimate I’ll have to wait until my constitution reaches level 40.’
Pei Ze estimated that by then, his All-Knowing Breathing Technique would have likely broken through to the sixth layer.
And the seventh layer was the breakthrough point to becoming a Tier Four Legendary Knight.
A Tier Four Legendary Knight’s combat ability was already on par with that of a typical Level 1 Liquidation Wizard.
Releasing the Silver Star fusion, Pei Ze left the Magic Laboratory.
Just as he stepped out of the building’s main entrance, he saw Su Ya and Peng Yan standing outside.
Seeing Pei Ze emerge, the two of them immediately came forward to greet him.
"Sir," Su Ya said, her expression a strange mix of surprise and schadenfreude. "Xu Bo’s team failed. They were completely wiped out by the Turin People."
