Age of Wizards: I Can Analyze All Things

Chapter 318: Chapter 185: Creating a Precognitive Ability, Thunderfall Valley Capture Operation (2)

Pei Ze immediately dismissed that idea and started considering other options.

Soon, he had a new idea.

’Omniscience, create an ability to predict when the Dark Realm will appear.’

[Please set the specific conditions.]

Pei Ze hesitated for a moment before silently commanding, ’Two seconds in advance.’

Two seconds was enough time for him to react.

Even if he encountered an exceptionally large Dark Realm, it would be enough time to activate Dimensional Flash and escape instantly.

[Task created. Creating the ability to predict the appearance of the Dark Realm. Estimated requirement: 7,835 units of Spiritual Power.]

Pei Ze felt a sense of relief. ’Good, it only needs a little over seven thousand units. That will take just a little over a month.’

’But this means creating the new rune will have to be postponed.’

’Oh well. I can still earn merit points for killing the Pei Family, so it’s not a loss.’

Pei Ze gave the Netherworld Plain one last deep look, then turned to leave.

"Let’s go."

Su Ya and Peng Yan were taken aback.

’We’re leaving just like that?’

’But we haven’t done anything yet.’

But despite their confusion, their obedience to Pei Ze was absolute. Neither of them asked any questions and simply hurried to keep up.

After they had traveled some distance from the Netherworld Plain, Su Ya noticed they weren’t heading toward Awo Castle. Puzzled, she asked, "My lord, where are we going now?"

"To the Thunder Abyss Giant Tribe Settlement," Pei Ze replied without turning his head.

It would take over a month to create the new ability, and he certainly couldn’t waste that time. It was the perfect opportunity to deal with the matter of the Thunder Abyss Giants.

The Thunder Abyss Giant Tribe Settlement was over three thousand kilometers from the Netherworld Plain. After a full day of travel, Pei Ze finally arrived near his destination—a massive canyon.

RUMBLE!

A dazzling bolt of lightning split the sky above the canyon and struck the ground, blasting a scorched black crater and sending shards of rock flying.

Thunderfall Valley—that was the name the residents of the three major settlements had for this canyon.

As its name suggested, lightning randomly struck within the canyon. It was possible to be walking along one moment and be hit the next.

The power of this natural lightning was considerable; a single bolt could blast even a Tier Two Legendary Knight to cinders.

Thus, to many Wanderers, Thunderfall Valley was tantamount to a forbidden zone.

No one would set foot in the canyon unless it was absolutely necessary.

For the Thunder Abyss Giants, however, the environment here was uniquely advantageous.

The dense Thunder Energy Particles that perennially filled the canyon were hugely beneficial to the Thunder Abyss Giants’ growth. While the lightning was a threat to other creatures, to the giants, it was like a pleasant scratch; getting hit by a bolt actually felt good.

Thanks to Thunderfall Valley’s unique environment, the Thunder Abyss Giants lived here in peace, rarely bothered by Magical Creatures or outsiders.

But today, Thunderfall Valley received some uninvited guests.

After casting Resist Energy (Lightning) and Protection from Energy (Lightning) on the three of them, Pei Ze led Su Ya and Peng Yan into the canyon.

The deeper they went into the canyon, the more desolate the environment became.

There was almost no vegetation on the ground. A deserted mountain path wound through jagged rocks that resembled interlocking fangs. Only withered grass and thorns grew from cracks in the cliff faces. The cold mountain wind whistled through the branches like black smoke, making a creaking, groaning sound.

The entire canyon was eerily silent, with only the occasional clap of thunder to startle them.

Due to the environment, there were almost no Magical Creatures in the canyon, sparing Pei Ze’s party the need to remain on high alert. The journey was relatively easy, though the lightning strikes were a nuisance.

In a stretch of less than a kilometer, the group was targeted by lightning four times.

Fortunately, the moment each bolt descended, Pei Ze had his Silver Star deploy a shield in time, successfully blocking the strikes.

The stray arcs of electricity caused no harm to Su Ya and Peng Yan, who were under the effects of the Protective Magic.

Even so, Su Ya and Peng Yan couldn’t help but be inwardly alarmed.

Had the two of them come to Thunderfall Valley alone, they probably wouldn’t have made it far before being reduced to cinders by the relentless lightning.

After reaching the middle section of the canyon, they could hear faint, beast-like roars in the distance.

Pei Ze’s focus sharpened, and he quickened his pace.

After rounding a cliff face, the roaring grew suddenly louder. At the same time, a wide-open basin appeared before them.

Giants, each over ten meters tall with deep blue skin covered in lightning-like patterns, moved about the valley floor. Some were sparring, their wrestling making the ground THUD loudly. Others sat on the ground, ferociously tearing into the flesh of some unknown beast, their mouths dripping with blood. The scene was exceptionally raucous.

"So those are the Thunder Abyss Giants," Su Ya said, taking a sharp breath.

Peng Yan’s brow furrowed as well, his eyes locked on the Thunder Abyss Giants on the valley floor as if facing a formidable enemy.

An adult Thunder Abyss Giant’s physique alone was on par with a Tier Five Legendary Knight. Just standing there, they looked like towering mountains, exuding an involuntary sense of pressure.

Compared to the Thunder Abyss Giants, Peng Yan’s barbarian bloodline seemed utterly insignificant.

Pei Ze noted the change in Peng Yan’s expression, a glint in his eyes.

’Modifying bloodlines is a research topic many Wizards undertake.’

’However, such research often consumes vast resources and energy. Typically, only Elemental Mages who have established their own Wizard Tower have the capability to perform it.’

’Of course, Crystal Wizards can also perform low-level bloodline modifications.’

’It’s just that those kinds of modifications often come with various aftereffects and side effects.’

’Half-Beastmen and Abominations, for example, are products of low-level bloodline modification. Not only are they ugly and weak, but they also suffer from defects like short lifespans or a lack of independent consciousness.’

’Pei Ze had also considered researching bloodline modification to strengthen his followers.’

’For example, the Thunder Abyss Giant’s bloodline would be a good match for Peng Yan.’

’As for Su Ya, he could simply capture a succubus and use it to directly purify her bloodline.’

’But that would have to wait until after he advanced to Elemental Mage and built a Wizard Tower.’

Pei Ze pushed aside his stray thoughts and focused his attention on the Thunder Abyss Giants.

An adult Thunder Abyss Giant’s combat power was roughly equivalent to a Level 2 Liquidation Wizard, while a few elite individuals could reach the level of a Level 2 Crystalized Wizard.

The chieftain of a Thunder Abyss Giant tribe often possessed power on par with a Level 3, a force that even a Level 3 Wizard would have to take seriously.

At the moment, there were about fifty to sixty Thunder Abyss Giants active on the valley floor.

However, Pei Ze estimated that this wasn’t the tribe’s full number; there were likely other Thunder Abyss Giants elsewhere.

For one thing, he hadn’t spotted a Thunder Abyss Giant that looked like a chieftain.

A glint in his eye, Pei Ze quickly decided on a course of action.

Although it would be easy for him to annihilate the entire Thunder Abyss Giant tribe with his current power, his only goal was their blood. There was no need to start a war with the whole tribe; capturing two or three of them would be enough.

Having made his decision, Pei Ze acted without hesitation, pointing a finger.

Instantly, a ray of seven-colored light shot out a hundred meters before bursting like a firework in mid-air, transforming into a beautiful, yet profoundly complex and strange, rune.

The Four-Circle Spell, Rainbow Pattern.

The sudden phenomenon immediately drew the attention of all the Thunder Abyss Giants. As they looked up at the arcane pattern in the sky, their gazes uniformly became dazed, vacant, and they froze in place.

Seizing the opportunity, Pei Ze willed it so. The Silver Star on his wrist instantly melted into a ball of liquid silver metal. It shot out, split into three streams, and struck the three nearest Thunder Abyss Giants. The metal then spread, encasing their bodies completely, leaving only their heads exposed.

The Thunder Abyss Giants who were attacked immediately snapped out of their stupor. They roared in shock and rage as their bodies erupted with blazing lightning, but it had no effect on the Silver Star—it had withstood countless bolts far more powerful.

Enveloping the three Thunder Abyss Giants, the Silver Star shot rapidly toward the canyon exit.

Only then did the other Thunder Abyss Giants break free from their trance. Seeing their tribesmen being abducted, they roared in fury and charged forward to stop the escape.

But in the next moment, a countless tide of crows surged in from outside the basin, blocking their path.

Enraged, the Thunder Abyss Giants unleashed their lightning, annihilating the thousands of Fog Crows blocking their path in mere moments. But when they looked again, the attacker and their three captured tribesmen had already vanished without a trace.

"ROAR!"

A chorus of furious roars immediately began to echo through the canyon.
