Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 156: Chapter 118: Stop Making It So Mysterious (Part 2)

“Also, a large number of identical stone creatures have appeared at the city gate, fighting with the guards!”

Stone creatures?

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Jensen immediately realized and said in a deep voice:

“They are Stone Golems, puppets made by Wizards.”

“Sunan is here!”

Everyone was taken aback, and many nobles even instinctively stood up.

“Priest Jensen,” Count Nolai gazed at Jensen with a solemn expression.

Jensen shook his head slightly: “Count Nolai, my task is to protect you, so I cannot easily leave your side. A few Stone Golems here and there—the troops inside and outside the city should be enough to handle them.”

“What if Sunan takes action?” a noble asked.

Jensen gave a sinister smile: “Wouldn’t that be even better? Just gather the heavy troops to encircle and kill him. Can he withstand thousands of troops and horses?”

Everyone thought about it and agreed, saying no more.

To be honest, they also didn’t want anyone from the Starfire Sect to leave their side.

Losing some ordinary soldiers was better than putting themselves in danger.

At this moment, an old man next to Jensen suddenly spoke up.

“Someone has infiltrated!”

The old man extended his palm, and a golden beetle lay there, its wings flapping rapidly and producing a buzzing sound.

Hearing this, Jensen unhesitantly flipped open a book in his hand and gently placed his palm on the pages, muttering under his breath.

The next second, an invisible wave suddenly spread out, sweeping through everyone in the hall without impediment. But when it passed through the doorway, it seemed to hit something, creating a distortion.

It was as if an invisible curtain was suddenly lifted, and a figure appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the hall.

“Sunan!”

“It’s really you!”

Upon seeing the visitor’s form, Jensen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold flash disappearing.

Is this person Sunan?!

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the young man at the door, their expressions filled with uncertainty and surprise.

Although they had heard Sunan was the brother of Marquis Flash and only in his twenties, seeing that incredibly young face left them feeling dazed.

The wizard who was said to be so mysterious and powerful was actually such a gentle-looking young man!

Without caring about anyone’s gaze, Sunan gazed with interest at the book in Jensen’s hand and the golden beetle in the old man’s palm.

“Is this what Red Heart mentioned, the suspected Divine Artifact in the hands of the Starfire Sect?”

A book capable of breaking stealth effects over a large area.

A beetle able to sense soul aura or energy particle fluctuations.

“But this effect is far inferior to a real Divine Artifact, not even as good as a lower-level Holy Artifact, at most a Holy Artifact.”

Divine Artifacts are items forged by Divine Spirits themselves.

Holy Artifacts are created by followers, bestowed with Divine Grace by Divine Spirits.

Holy Objects are items made by followers, placed before Divine Statues, and imbued with a trace of Divine Grace through years of prayer.

There is a great disparity in power between items of different levels.

If what these two followers were holding were true Divine Artifacts, Sunan would undoubtedly turn around and leave without hesitation.

If they were Holy Artifacts, he would also need to consider retreating.

But if they were just Holy Objects, he had many trump cards in his possession and could completely engage in a fight.

Moreover, with the absence of Divine Spirits, it’s questionable whether these Holy Objects of the Starfire Sect still have any power.

“Since you came today, don’t think you’ll leave.”

Seeing Sunan’s dismissive demeanor, Jensen was secretly annoyed, signaling his companions with a glance.

The group of Starfire Sect members drew their weapons and spread out, forming a semi-circle to surround Sunan.

All of them surged with brilliant Fighting Qi.

Including Jensen, four individuals emanated elemental power.

Seeing this, a sly smile appeared on Sunan’s lips.

“Four Legendary Knights, twelve Grand Knights, what an impressive lineup.”

Observing Sunan’s demeanor, Jensen frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

They had studied Sunan’s past battles, estimated his strength in detail, and dispatched this formation accordingly.

Four Legendary Knights, twelve Grand Knights, and the Holy Object in hand were more than enough to deal with a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.

With this in mind, Jensen no longer hesitated and acted decisively.

In an instant, an invisible wave spread, sweeping through the entire hall.

Sunan only felt a momentary blur, and upon regaining his senses, found himself in a vast starry sky.

Stars were scattered everywhere, and a magnificent galaxy spanned the sky above, breathtaking in grandeur.

“A half-dimension space, is it?”

Sunan’s eyebrows raised, trying to sense something, but realized he had completely lost contact with the Hidden Dragon outside.

Only when master and Magical Pet were on different planes or dimensions would this situation occur.

“Kill him!”

With Jensen’s low shout, the Starfire Sect members brandished their longswords and charged at Sunan.

Sunan did not dodge, releasing the Magic Missile he had prepared in advance.

To his surprise, the seven Magic Missiles all passed through the bodies of the Starfire Sect members, as if they did not exist in this space.

However, immediately afterwards, their weapons all struck Sunan, blocked by the invisible force field surrounding him.

“It’s useless, this is the power bestowed by the great Star God Mi Xia to the followers!”

“Here, you cannot harm us!”

Jensen sneered, his face full of confidence.

Wizards are nothing much.

In front of Holy Objects, they only take a beating!

“…It’s just a temporary intangibility, making it sound so mystical.”

Sunan shook his head speechlessly.

Did they take him for an inexperienced Wizard Apprentice?

The so-called intangibility is a similar ability to the Hidden Dragon’s virtual and real state transformation, converting the body and all items into an intangible state, thereby becoming immune to all physical attacks.

But in an intangible state, they also can’t attack the enemy.

Yet, the Starfire Sect members could attack him, indicating they were not continuously intangible but temporarily intangible, avoiding attacks the moment they were hit.

That is, temporary intangibility.

Sunan guessed this might be a capability attached to the half-dimension space.

Additionally, he could feel clearly that his physical and Spiritual Power were slowly draining; evidently, this half-dimension space also had the effect of absorbing the enemy’s energy.

But that was all.

An ordinary person might be left shocked and panicked by the Starfire Sect’s methods.

But to Sunan, it was child’s play.

In the Wizard world, there were far stranger, more difficult abilities to deal with.

True intangibility was more troublesome to handle, but temporary intangibility was much simpler.

Sunan sneered, and suddenly, a silver glow flashed across his chest. In the next instant, countless silver metal liquid burst out, swirling around him and rapidly forming sharp, gleaming spikes.

After a slight pause, the dense spikes suddenly shot out!

In an instant, with Sunan at the center, a violent metal storm engulfed an area of a hundred meters around him!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The piercing sound of the air being torn apart was incessant!

Almost as soon as the silver light swept in, the Starfire Sect members present sensed something was wrong and unhesitatingly entered their intangible state.

But as Sunan had guessed, their intangibility could not last long.

Within just four or five seconds, the group had to revert to their tangible state.

Instantly, the dull sound of blades slicing through flesh echoed repeatedly.

Twelve Grand Knight-level Starfire Sect members didn’t even have time to scream before they were shredded into a bloody mist by the metal storm, leaving no trace!

Only four Legendary Knights were struggling to hold on.

The four were shrouded in a layer of faint starlight.

It was this starlight that allowed them to hold on.

Otherwise, with the power of the Level 2 Demon Pattern Core, the four would have followed the path of their other companions.

Jensen stared at Sunan in shock and disbelief, his former confidence completely replaced by an expression of disbelief and terror.
