One Wizard Against Three Kings, Abyss Erosion

Boom!

Bai Jing streaked across the sky like a meteor, shattered crystals sprinkling down from above like a rain of diamonds.

Richard withdrew his fist and looked at the blasted-away Bai Jing with satisfaction.

"Not bad. Though I'm still a little unaccustomed to it, the increase in combat power more than makes up for that."

Behind him, Great Wizard Bronze Lever stared at the scene in utter shock. Even the Alchemy Puppets repairing his body had slowed considerably.

He had experienced that layer of energy-storing crystal before. Other than elemental erosion attacks, whether physical or energy-based, all attacks would be absorbed and converted by that crystal layer.

By his estimation, that layer of crystal possessed defenses at least equivalent to an energy barrier capable of withstanding three hundred thousand Energy Level.

If it were deliberately thickened, its strength would rise even further.

With such defenses, even an Old Wizard like him would need to use a grand spell to break through it. Yet Richard had shattered it with nothing more than a simple punch.

This fellow's instantaneous output in his normal state... is definitely eight hundred thousand Energy Level! Great Wizard Bronze Lever thought in shock.

With a physical evolution, an instantaneous output of eight hundred thousand Energy Level in one's normal state—even after accounting for the reduction inherent to purely physical attacks—was roughly equivalent to a mentally evolved Wizard instantly casting a six-hundred-thousand-Energy-Level spell.

Yet among Fifth-Ring Wizards, those capable of instantly casting a six-hundred-thousand-Energy-Level spell were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Only the students of a few Crowns might be able to accomplish it.

"A Wizard favored by a Crown truly cannot be underestimated."

Bai Jing, who had been sent flying, quickly steadied himself. Compared to his previous overwhelming momentum, he now looked utterly bedraggled.
