A few Stone Golems here and there—the troops inside and outside the city should be enough to handle them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if Sunan takes action?\" a noble asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thought about it and agreed, saying no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, they also didn’t want anyone from the Starfire Sect to leave their side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing some ordinary soldiers was better than putting themselves in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, an old man next to Jensen suddenly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone has infiltrated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man extended his palm, and a golden beetle lay there, its wings flapping rapidly and producing a buzzing sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jensen unhesitantly flipped open a book in his hand and gently placed his palm on the pages, muttering under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if an invisible curtain was suddenly lifted, and a figure appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sunan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s really you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the visitor’s form, Jensen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold flash disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this person Sunan?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared wide-eyed at the young man at the door, their expressions filled with uncertainty and surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wizard who was said to be so mysterious and powerful was actually such a gentle-looking young man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this what Red Heart mentioned, the suspected Divine Artifact in the hands of the Starfire Sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A book capable of breaking stealth effects over a large area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beetle able to sense soul aura or energy particle fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Artifacts are items forged by Divine Spirits themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy Artifacts are created by followers, bestowed with Divine Grace by Divine Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy Objects are items made by followers, placed before Divine Statues, and imbued with a trace of Divine Grace through years of prayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a great disparity in power between items of different levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If what these two followers were holding were true Divine Artifacts, Sunan would undoubtedly turn around and leave without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were Holy Artifacts, he would also need to consider retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they were just Holy Objects, he had many trump cards in his possession and could completely engage in a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with the absence of Divine Spirits, it’s questionable whether these Holy Objects of the Starfire Sect still have any power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you came today, don’t think you’ll leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Sunan’s dismissive demeanor, Jensen was secretly annoyed, signaling his companions with a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of Starfire Sect members drew their weapons and spread out, forming a semi-circle to surround Sunan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them surged with brilliant Fighting Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Jensen, four individuals emanated elemental power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, a sly smile appeared on Sunan’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four Legendary Knights, twelve Grand Knights, what an impressive lineup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing Sunan’s demeanor, Jensen frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had studied Sunan’s past battles, estimated his strength in detail, and dispatched this formation accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Legendary Knights, twelve Grand Knights, and the Holy Object in hand were more than enough to deal with a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Jensen no longer hesitated and acted decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, an invisible wave spread, sweeping through the entire hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan only felt a momentary blur, and upon regaining his senses, found himself in a vast starry sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stars were scattered everywhere, and a magnificent galaxy spanned the sky above, breathtaking in grandeur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A half-dimension space, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan’s eyebrows raised, trying to sense something, but realized he had completely lost contact with the Hidden Dragon outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when master and Magical Pet were on different planes or dimensions would this situation occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Jensen’s low shout, the Starfire Sect members brandished their longswords and charged at Sunan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan did not dodge, releasing the Magic Missile he had prepared in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, immediately afterwards, their weapons all struck Sunan, blocked by the invisible force field surrounding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s useless, this is the power bestowed by the great Star God Mi Xia to the followers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, you cannot harm us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jensen sneered, his face full of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizards are nothing much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Holy Objects, they only take a beating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s just a temporary intangibility, making it sound so mystical.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan shook his head speechlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they take him for an inexperienced Wizard Apprentice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in an intangible state, they also can’t attack the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the Starfire Sect members could attack him, indicating they were not continuously intangible but temporarily intangible, avoiding attacks the moment they were hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, temporary intangibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan guessed this might be a capability attached to the half-dimension space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ordinary person might be left shocked and panicked by the Starfire Sect’s methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Sunan, it was child’s play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Wizard world, there were far stranger, more difficult abilities to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True intangibility was more troublesome to handle, but temporary intangibility was much simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a slight pause, the dense spikes suddenly shot out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, with Sunan at the center, a violent metal storm engulfed an area of a hundred meters around him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piercing sound of the air being torn apart was incessant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost as soon as the silver light swept in, the Starfire Sect members present sensed something was wrong and unhesitatingly entered their intangible state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Sunan had guessed, their intangibility could not last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within just four or five seconds, the group had to revert to their tangible state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the dull sound of blades slicing through flesh echoed repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only four Legendary Knights were struggling to hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four were shrouded in a layer of faint starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this starlight that allowed them to hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, with the power of the Level 2 Demon Pattern Core, the four would have followed the path of their other companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jensen stared at Sunan in shock and disbelief, his former confidence completely replaced by an expression of disbelief and terror.\u003C\u002Fp>",1351,"2026-06-06T02:33:43.453Z",1,"novelbin.me","03893a87ee1de72badf024983a22e6739e33ce7ab19912820fd111c816653623","synthetic-wizard-chapter-263","synthetic-wizard-chapter-262",369,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsynthetic-wizard-cover.jpg"]
