Chapter 724: Chapter 30: Late Stage
Whoosh——!
A black whirlwind, as thin as an arm yet condensed to the extreme, suddenly appeared out of nowhere! This was no longer the simulated Death Storm from before, but a terrifying force truly imbued with a trace of the Decay Law essence! The whirlwind emitted a soul-shivering wail, instantly wrapping around the Witch Demon, crazily corroding and stripping away its protective spells and the negative energy composing its body!
"Aargh!" The Witch Demon let out a sharp mental scream, trying to break free from the eerie black whirlwind, but the storm clung on like a bone-carved disease, severely restricting its movement and spell-casting ability.
"Leave it to me!" Vanilla shouted sharply, dashing out like an arrow. Kong timely created a slight spatial fold in front of her, allowing her to cleverly avoid the interception of several Skeletons.
The sword light flashed!
The Cross Sword, imbued with the faith to cut through everything and the faint Power of the Sword God, pierced with extraordinary precision at the core of the Witch Demon’s Phylactery, which was attempting to resist the erosion of the Death Storm!
"Crack..."
A crisp shattering sound echoed, and the Soul Fire in the Witch Demon’s eye sockets flickered violently before extinguishing completely. Its shriveled body collapsed instantly, as though all support had been withdrawn, turning into a heap of ashen Bone Powder and a tattered robe.
With the destruction of the core, the entire Undead Army seemed to lose its support, becoming sluggish and chaotic, and was soon cleared out by Lynch and Kong.
As the battle ended, Lynch let out a long breath, feeling the almost depleted magic power inside him. But then, an unimaginably vast torrent of mixed knowledge suddenly surged into his mind! The sheer volume of information was so overwhelming that it even caused him a momentary dizziness.
Meanwhile, the cold system prompt appeared with an unprecedented frequency and volume:
[Knowledge Law Skill Level +3826]
[Space Law Skill Level +1055]
[Decay Law Skill Level +1288]
[Time Law Skill Level +923]
...
[Decay Law has improved]
[Decay Law Level 70]
As the final prompt sounded, Lynch’s whole body suddenly shook!
It was as if some invisible shackle that had been imprisoning him was suddenly broken! Despite the persistent rule suppression around, his perception and understanding of the Space Law instantly leaped to a new level! A deeper, more intrinsic sense of clarity streamed through his heart.
Seventy layers! Late-stage Knowledge Law!
He had finally crossed this crucial threshold!
"Phew——"
Lynch let out a long breath, as if dispelling all the fatigue and tension from the fierce battle just now. He slowly opened his eyes, and deep within his gray pupils, it seemed as though countless tiny Space Runes were swirling and flickering, filling his Consciousness Sea with an unprecedented sense of clarity and depth.
Knowledge Law breakthrough to seventy layers!
This wasn’t just a numerical change, it represented a fundamental leap. It signified his understanding and mastery of the Decay Law had officially stepped into the later stage of the Domain Level, entering a whole new, higher dimension.
For a Domain Wizard, this was the most crucial transformation before accessing the Realm of Rules, causing a tectonic shift in the depth of their knowledge mastery and operational efficiency.
Lynch immediately felt this astonishing enhancement. The most direct manifestation was his exquisite perception and control over the Power of Decay—his core strength—which reached an unprecedented level.
The Power of Decay, originally closely connected to his soul, at this moment became more like an extension of his will, naturally revealing deeper secrets and mysteries to him.
With a faint intention, he instinctively attempted to unleash the Decaying Domain, which had been heavily suppressed within him.
Buzz!
A field of pale gray, containing the sentiment of the end of all things, spread rapidly outward centered on him!
This time, although the omnipresent, sticky rule suppression still existed, it could no longer confine his domain tightly to his body as before!
Visible to the naked eye, the pale gray Decaying Domain persistently broke through one barrier after another, quickly expanding—
One meter, five meters, ten meters, fifty meters... Eventually, it forcibly covered an area exceeding a hundred meters in radius! Though still far from the vastness of the outside world, in the terrifyingly suppressive 95th Floor, this was already a miraculous sight!
Bear in mind, before this, the domain range they could stretch with all three of their efforts never exceeded ten meters! Now, Lynch alone, with ease, expanded the domain tenfold!
This is the terrifying enhancement brought by the Knowledge Law advancing to late-stage! It results in a qualitative leap following a deeper understanding of the rule essence, offering a stronger resistance and control to external suppression!
Lynch could even feel that in this hundred-meter Decaying Domain, the pervasive and malicious rule suppression was greatly weakened.
Although not completely dispelled, his perception and influence over energy flow, space structure, and even the passage of time within this area had become clearer.
Lynch could imagine, if in an unrestricted external environment, the deployed Decaying Domain at this moment could likely wither and desiccate an entire city instantly, its range easily enveloping mountains and rivers!
This sudden and powerful domain fluctuation immediately caught Kong’s attention beside him.
She swiftly turned her head, sensing the Decaying Domain, which was at least ten times more intense and contained deeper law nuances, and a light of disbelief exploded in her usually calm eyes.
She almost blurted out in astonishment, "Your Domain Knowledge Law... broke through to late-stage?!"
Lynch nodded, confirming, "Yes, the knowledge accumulation in the Decay Law seems to have just broken through to the late-stage level." His tone was calm, as if merely stating an inconsequential fact, but the fleeting brilliance in his gray eyes revealed that he was far from as calm as he appeared.
Despite having guessed the answer from the powerful domain fluctuation, when Kong heard Lynch’s confirmation, her clear eyes still couldn’t help but brim with amazement.
She personally witnessed Lynch progressing step by step from the Secret Skill Level to breaking through the domain stage, fighting alongside her till now.
How long exactly had it been since Lynch was promoted to a Domain Wizard? It might not have even been a century by external time! Such a brief period, for a stage that usually measures cultivation progress in hundreds and thousands of years, was like a flick of the wrist!
Yet within this "flick of the wrist," he had already cultivated his core Domain Knowledge Law to the late-stage realm! What an astonishing speed!
Surely, the Lost Tower allowed for direct knowledge inheritance through defeating Magic Creations, which was undeniably the greatest aid. But Kong was well aware that every wizard, even when faced with the same enemy, differed vastly in their speed and efficiency of absorbing, understanding, and transforming these knowledge fragments. It depended on personal insight, knowledge foundation, and an inexplicable law affinity.
Since teaming up from the 91st Floor, she had fought alongside Lynch, facing the same enemies and obtaining virtually identical sources of knowledge.
Yet till now, while her Domain Knowledge Law had also progressed significantly, it had only improved by a little over twenty layers, and the threshold to late-stage was still far along. But Lynch? Not only was he fast, but he had pushed a law directly to late-stage!
The gap here went beyond a mere "resource" differentiation.
Looking at Lynch’s still serene profile, ripples stirred in Kong’s heart, a clear notion emerged: "No wonder... No wonder the teacher would go all out, even against internal pressure, to allocate such a precious Lost Tower opportunity to him, repeatedly urging me to give him full assistance..."
"Such talent... such efficiency in absorbing and understanding knowledge... is truly astounding!"
She finally somewhat understood why the Star Speaker, Gulwige, held Lynch in such high regard. It wasn’t just because he could decipher Argit’s notes; the monstrous growth potential he displayed was likely the key reason why that Rule Wizard decided to invest in him.
