Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience Chapter 721 - 27: The 95th Floor

A strong, unprecedented space pressure, as if to squeeze out the soul, came crashing down; the scene before them twisted violently, being blurry, and then suddenly snapped back into sharp focus.

When Lynch’s vision returned, he found himself in a pletely unfamiliar, spine-chilling place of horror.

This place looked like... an infinitely vast dungeon? No, more precisely, it was like a concrete manifestation of the word "Hell"!

Wherever they looked, there were ghastly and terrifying sights. On either side were rusted metal cages that extended endlessly, filled with countless white bones and twisted corpses.

The ground cracked open, with dark red lava flowing relentlessly, emitting intense heat and a pungent smell of sulfur.

Charred bodies were bound to the massive bronze columns, and the walls were lined with all sorts of rusted, dark red-stained torture instruments—flensing knives, iron maidens, branding irons, hook chains... everything imaginable.

Further away, innumerable gallows, guillotines, and broken wheels towered, most of them hanging dried corpses or intact skeletons, gently swaying with an unknown sinister wind, emitting a teeth-grating creaking sound.

The entire space was filled with a rich atmosphere of despair, suffering, and death, and the air seemed to echo with the silent wails of countless dead souls.

Kong furrowed her brow, instinctively tightening her grip on the Cross Sword, looking around, and said softly, "What kind of ghostly place is this? Is it the legendary Abyss of Hell?" Even she, well-versed in many things, felt out of sorts by the scene and atmosphere of this place.

Lynch’s gaze swept over the spewing lava and the omnipresent torture instruments, shaking his head solemnly, "I’m not sure, the tower’s environment is bizarre. But the Rule Power here... is pletely different from any of the lower floors, be extremely careful."

He could clearly feel that while the rules suppressed the previous floors and were powerful, they mainly brought "pressure" in movement and spell casting, but here, the omnipresent Rule Power carried an unsettling, cold "malice," creating a tense sensation rooted in the instinct of survival.

Just as he was speaking!

"Crack... crack..."

Not far ahead, on a severely rusted bronze gallows, the dried-up skeleton hanging there suddenly shook violently! The rusted chains binding its neck and limbs snapped inch by inch, and it leapt directly off the apparatus, two ghastly green flames ignited with a "poof" sound in its hollow eye sockets!

It stiffly twisted its neck, producing a teeth-grating sound of bone friction, then bent over to rapidly draw a rusty but ominously glowing short sword from the Obsidian ground formed by the solidifying lava beneath it and charged fiercely towards the trio!

"Watch out!" Vanilla and Kong almost simultaneously exclaimed softly, instinctively swinging their Cross Swords to meet the attack.

However, just as they exerted the force, their expressions simultaneously changed drastically!

The Rule Power here was unimaginably gooey! It’s as if they had suddenly leaped from the air into a fathomless Deep Sea, feeling the immensely terrifying pressure from all directions! The surging Domain Power around them was suppressed harshly within their bodies by the omnipresent maliciousness of the rules, barely letting a hint escape to the surface!

The movement technique that was originally as swift as lightning became incredibly heavy; even the swing of the Cross Sword felt impossibly burdensome, moving at a visibly slow speed, reminiscent of their time as Apprentice Knights learning swordsmanship where each action required tremendous effort to bat that omnipresent Rule suppression!

Yet, the seemingly ordinary skeleton seemed pletely unaffected, moving swiftly and precisely, the rusty short sword slashing and hacking with a mournful whistle!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The intense sound of metal clashing rang out, with sparks flying.

The two mighty Domain Level warriors teamed up against what seemed like an unremarkable skeleton and were beaten back repeatedly, barely managing to defend themselves, unable to secure a quick victory! The skeleton’s strength was unbelievably great, each collision making their arms go numb.

Seeing this, Lynch hurriedly took out the Blue Heart Magic Wand, attempting to provide spell support.

But he soon discovered the same terrifying problem—the manipulation of spiritual power became exceedingly difficult!

The spiritual power, once as vast as the sea and easily manipulated, now felt like a frozen river, flowing slowly and obscurely. He exerted all his effort, consuming much more spiritual power and time pared to the outside world, to barely condense a weak spark of electricity at the wand’s tip—

"Zzz!"

A thin, thumb-thick, erratically jumping pale electric snake shot towards the skeleton. This was of inparable power pared to calling forth a Destructive Cyan Thunderbolt in the outside world!

The tiny electric snake hit the skeleton’s body, only making its movements momentarily stiffen, slightly charring its exterior without causing substantial damage.

The three were horrified, but with no time to think, they could only rely on basic bat skills and the remaining strength to engage in a difficult and awkward struggle with this uncanny skeleton.

It took several times the time and effort expected, but by working together, the three finally managed to dismantle the skeleton.

As the skeleton fell apart, turning into a pile of ordinary dry bones, the two ghostly blue Soul Fires extinguished along with it.

Almost simultaneously, a cold yet familiar system notification sounded unprecedentedly loudly inside Lynch’s mind:

[Knowledge Law Skill Level 1386]

Following that was a massive surge of strange knowledge, so overwhelming it felt like it might burst his mind! The sheer volume and profoundness of the information far exceeded any previous inheritance acquired at the Domain Level!

Lynch stood there, spending a good ten seconds to digest it, before a look of disbelief and shock appeared on his face.

In the earlier floors, defeating a powerful Domain Level Magic Creation at most granted several dozen points of Knowledge Law Skill Level.

But here, a seemingly ordinary skeleton surprisingly provided a massive 1386 points in one go! Moreover, the knowledge that flooded his mind reached unprecedented depth and breadth, as if touching upon fragments of the rule’s essence!

This 95th Floor was indeed pletely different!

Nonetheless, Lynch couldn’t help but show an expression of excitement, quickly turning to his panions with an incredulous joy in his voice, "Did you feel it too? Knowledge! An ocean of knowledge! That inheritance we just received is more than what we got working hard on the lower floors for half the day!"

Kong was also quickly digesting the influx of information at this moment, appearing both excited and surprised, "It’s incredibly vast and... extremely profound. This 95th Floor is indeed totally different!"

Vanilla shook her still slightly numb arms, taking a deep breath, then plained, "There’s a lot of inheritance... but it was such a hassle! That flashing rule almost made me drop my sword; I felt like I couldn’t use even a tenth of my strength! Fighting was so frustrating; it almost made me feel like I was back to being an Apprentice Knight just picking up the sword!"

Yet before they could catch their breath—

"Crackle..."

"Uh... uh..."

Not far ahead, from within the enormous fiery pit endlessly bubbling with dark red lava, came a dense noise that made one’s scalp tingle! It wasn’t a single bone-rubbing sound, but a terrifying chorus of hundreds to thousands of teeth-grating collisions mixed with hoarse growls!

The three abruptly looked up, and their expressions turned grim...
