Chapter 844: Chapter 22: Modifying the Rules
At the moment Lynch’s words fell, the invisible shackles that had been imposed on the wizards of the Jade Land and the Farlan Alliance vanished instantly!
Magic power, once as heavy as a mountain and difficult to mobilize, became as smooth and controllable as an arm; the magic models which were impossible to construct just moments ago could now form swiftly with a mere thought; the sense of weakness and panic from being stripped of a power source receded like a tide.
The modification of the rules seemed to target only the side of the Freemasonry Church, while for them, the laws of this world became “friendly” once again.
“Hey! Lynch, since when did you become so awesome!” Vanilla’s eyes lit up as she excitedly waved her giant sword, her flaming fighting spirit burning fiercely once more. She shouted towards Lynch’s direction, “You came at just the right time! These guys were so arrogant earlier!”
Space also jumped up joyfully, the Void Power around him rippling cheerfully as he smiled and said, “Exactly, exactly! Lynch, if you were any later, we’d have been pissed off by these guys who were bullying us with their numbers!”
The words of these two lively Domain Powerhouses broke the eerie silence on the battlefield caused by the sudden change in rules. Only now did the other wizards of the Jade Land and Farlan realize from their stupor of losing and regaining power and the shocking truth that the rules had been modified.
They looked up to the calm, hovering black figure in the sky, their eyes filled with an incredible sense of awe and reverence.
Rule Level!
This is the true might of stepping into the Rule Level—transcending Domains, mastering the laws of a realm, speaking and having it be so, deciding the Transcendent permissions of beings in a mere thought!
“Mr. Lynch… he has actually already…” Witch Master Jeraf murmured to himself, his voice trembling slightly, an instinctive reverence for a higher Life Level.
“A Rule Wizard… Our Jade Land has finally birthed its own Rule Wizard!” A Mystical Wizard from the Scarlet Flame Council was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
Arcane Master Erwin of the Blue Realm Wizard Domain, along with more than ten other Domain Wizards, were equally stunned. They knew better than those from Jade Land what the emergence of a newly minted Rule Wizard meant!
It wasn’t just about an individual’s leap in power but a revolutionary shift in the discourse power of the entire affiliated force within the Wizard World!
Without needing any reminder, all the wizards of Jade Land and Farlan, whether Mystical or Domain, instinctively and sincerely bowed respectfully to that figure in the air, exclaiming in unison:
“Greetings, Mr. Lynch!”
Their voices gathered together, filled with immense respect and excitement, echoing through the clouds.
Lynch glanced over the people bowing to him below, nodding slightly in acknowledgment. His expression remained calm, as if the world-altering rule manipulation just now was merely a trivial matter.
“Pleasantries can wait,” he said calmly, his voice clearly reaching everyone’s ears, “Let’s first solve the immediate problem.”
As he spoke, his gaze turned once again to the powerhouses of the Freemasonry Church.
This time, as Lynch’s gaze focused on them, the feeling was worlds apart from before.
Margaret was the first to feel it, as a formless, bone-chilling coldness rose from deep within her soul, as if she was being watched by an incomprehensible, irresistible supreme being. Even the Dark Power derived from her origin shivered and couldn’t coalesce.
Her face turned pale, her teeth clenching her lower lip, her crimson eyes filled with fear, unwillingness, and a hint of despair.
The six bishop-level powerhouses were even more pathetic. Having lost the shelter of the Faith Domain, under Lynch’s calm yet supremely authoritative gaze, they stood as if naked in the snowy wilderness, trembling all over, finding even standing difficult.
They could feel that the connection of faith between them and the “Father God” had become extremely weak, almost severed, in this rule-modified area!
The Fanatics and ordinary church soldiers below had long since collapsed to the ground, losing all will to fight, left with nothing but the most primal fear.
The battle unfolded.
But this could no longer be called a battle—rather, it was a one-sided, inevitable cleanup.
Lynch didn’t even need to take action himself. He merely maintained the “Rule Prohibition” state of this area, altering the power system of the Freemasonry Church.
“Attack!” Duke Mars grasped the opportunity, shouting with all his might.
The next moment, with all their powers restored, the Jade Land and the Farlan Alliance launched a thunderous counterattack on the church army, whose morale had collapsed and powers stripped from them, like fierce tigers unleashed!
Vanilla shouted fiercely, her Flaming Giant Sword slashing out sky-towering sword aura which, like a hot knife through butter, easily tore through the Frenzied Knights formation that had lost its Holy Light Protection.
Space giggled, his form flickering unpredictably on the battlefield, Void cracks quietly blooming wherever he passed, engulfing one resisting Fanatic Priest after another.
The arcane torrent of Jeraf, the Extreme Cold Ice Crystal barely cast by Carl, the pure and restrained Holy Light of Julia and the angels… and the almost world-destroying joint arcane ritual unleashed by more than a dozen Farlan Domain Wizards!
Various powerful spells and attacks poured down on the enemies without obstruction.
The Freemasonry Church’s army, having lost the protection of Domains and powerful Divine Arts, was as fragile as paper mache in the face of the alliance’s furious barrage. Frenzied Knights were harvested en masse, Fanatic Priests disintegrated under the arcane brilliance, and the ordinary soldiers were completely powerless to resist.
In the sky, Margaret attempted to forcibly break through the rule suppression with her powerful dark origin, but under Lynch’s omnipresent rule will, her struggles seemed futile and laughable.
Very soon, under Messiah’s light suppression and the joint assault of several Farlan Domain Wizards, she was beaten back step by step, her Dark Domain constantly shrinking, several wounds opening on her body, and it was just a matter of time before she was captured.
As for the six bishops, having lost their greatest support, they could hardly mount an effective resistance against the beast-like alliance Domain powerhouses, being broken down and suppressed one by one in desperation.
The sounds of slaughter, explosions, and screams continued for some time, but the situation remained a one-sided crush.
When the last desperate fanatic fell under Vanilla’s sword, and when Margaret was entirely subdued by Messiah’s light chains and the Farlan Wizards’ arcane seal, falling dejectedly from the sky, the battlefield, representing the resistance forces of the Freemasonry Church, had already been completely purged.
The setting sun, blood-red, illuminated the battlefield not yet completely free of the smoke of battle, and also the faces of the Jade Land and Farlan Alliance soldiers, filled with excitement and fatigue after surviving a great ordeal.
Duke Mars leaned on his giant sword, looking out over the battlefield strewn with corpses but now firmly in control, sighed deeply, and reported in a deep voice to the sky: “Mr. Lynch! The enemy forces have been purged! The Sigh Barrier… we’ve taken it!”
This strategically vital position, guarding the last natural stronghold before the Holy City Eden, after a series of twists and turns and a great toll, had finally fallen into the hands of the Jade Land Alliance Army.
This pivotal battle came to a conclusion with Lynch’s arrival and the absolute overwhelming force of the Rule Level.
