Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 516 - 418: Hot Commodity!

As Hertz looked at the Gray Wolf, the Gray Wolf also noticed him.

The Gray Wolf’s legs were still weak, unable to stand, so it could only twist its neck to look back at Hertz.

Upon seeing this, Hertz was once again taken aback.

He breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said, "I didn’t expect it to be a disabled magical beast."

Gray Wolf: "..."

You’re the disabled one! Your whole family is disabled!

The Gray Wolf squinted its eyes, staring at Hertz.

If its legs weren’t so inconvenient, it would have definitely jumped up to bite this old man to death.

After determining that the Gray Wolf was disabled, Hertz turned his gaze away from it and looked towards the Divine Hall.

At a glance, Hertz was immediately terrified and broke into a cold sweat.

The situation in front of the Divine Hall was exactly as Hertz had guessed. Zhao Yi had a dispute with the God of Law from Lifetime Mountain.

However, what he hadn’t expected was that Zhao Yi was actually in a dispute with all the Gods of Law simultaneously.

Hertz was almost dumbfounded upon seeing the Goddess of Light leading a group of Gods in casting Forbidden Curses at Zhao Yi.

It was at this moment he understood why there was a seaquake.

With the way these Gods of Law were fighting, not to mention the seaquake, it seemed the Pegasus Grassland island wouldn’t last much longer.

Of course, what shocked Hertz the most was Zhao Yi.

Facing the relentless bombardment from the Gods of Law, Zhao Yi only had a thin, purple barrier in front of him, with no other defensive measures.

Yet this layer of barrier became an insurmountable chasm for all the Gods of Law.

They exhausted all their means, yet they couldn’t break through the purple barrier or Zhao Yi’s defenses.

At that moment, the Goddess of Light also saw Hertz.

Though she didn’t recognize Hertz, she recognized the green Wood Magic Robe he wore.

The Goddess of Light shouted towards Hertz, "Mage over there, come help us eliminate this heretic!"

Hearing these words, the other Gods of Law paused their actions.

Like the Goddess of Light, these Gods of Law were starting to get anxious.

The fact that they couldn’t break through Zhao Yi’s defenses indicated that his power far exceeded theirs.

Even though they had Law Fragments, allowing them to use magic almost endlessly, it was all in vain if they couldn’t break Zhao Yi’s defenses.

Most importantly, Zhao Yi hadn’t even struck back yet.

From his previous one-slap victory over three Gods of Law, it was clear that Zhao Yi’s offensive capabilities were likely more terrifying than his defenses.

So, the Goddess of Light and the others were in a tight spot.

They could neither defeat him nor escape.

Like meat on a cutting board, they were at Zhao Yi’s mercy.

Hertz’s arrival brought a glimmer of hope to the Goddess of Light.

She called for Hertz to join not because she thought he could defeat Zhao Yi.

If they together couldn’t harm Zhao Yi in the slightest, what could an ordinary mage do?

The Goddess of Light enlisted Hertz with the hope of diverting Zhao Yi’s attention.

If Hertz could distract Zhao Yi, even just for a moment, it would be enough for the Goddess of Light to escape from the Divine Mountain.

Upon hearing the Goddess of Light, the other Gods of Law also turned to Hertz.

The Wood Element God, upon seeing Hertz, immediately perked up.

While the others might not know Hertz, he recognized Hertz and was aware of his capabilities.

Hertz was the top-tier Grand Mage of Wood Magic.

If the Wood Element God didn’t have a Law Fragment, his understanding of Wood Magic might not have surpassed Hertz.

Therefore, seeing Hertz approach, the Wood Element God became excited.

He called out to Hertz, "Hertz, hurry over and help us!"

Hertz’s combat magic power was similar to that of the Gods of Law; the only difference was the possession of a Law Fragment.

If Hertz joined them, it would be almost equivalent to adding an extra God of Law.

The Wood Element God was different from the Goddess of Light.

The Goddess of Light had stronger magic power and was more sensitive to Zhao Yi’s power than the others.

So, her first reaction upon failing to shake Zhao Yi’s Protective Barrier was to find a chance to escape.

To the Goddess of Light, knowing she couldn’t win and still fighting was not courage but stupidity!

The Wood Element God was different.

Compared to the Goddess of Light and others who lacked the will to fight, the Wood Element God was an unabashed battle maniac.

If he hadn’t witnessed the miserable fate of the Golden Armor War God and the Space War God, knowing he couldn’t single-handedly face Zhao Yi, he would have challenged Zhao Yi long ago.

Even when the combined force of eight Gods of Law couldn’t break Zhao Yi’s defenses, the Wood Element God didn’t retreat but instead, his fighting spirit soared.

The harder it got, the more he wanted to crush Zhao Yi underfoot.

The Wood Element God, looking at Hertz, suddenly thought of other grand mages.

On the Magic Continent, there were many grand mages with magic power equal to Hertz.

If all those grand mages could be gathered, it would almost mean several times the strength to attack Zhao Yi.

He refused to believe they couldn’t break through that damned barrier!

When Hertz heard the words of the Goddess of Light, he was momentarily stunned.

After the Wood Element God finished speaking, Hertz finally came to his senses.

The Goddess of Light and the Wood Element God were seeking his help.

In the next moment, Hertz turned to Zhao Yi in shock.

At their first meeting, Hertz thought Zhao Yi was a person without cultivation, thus didn’t pay him any mind.

Later, when he became Zhao Yi’s disciple, it wasn’t because of Zhao Yi’s cultivation but due to being impressed by Zhao Yi’s knowledge and wisdom.

Even though Zhao Yi was often called uneducated and ignorant in the New World by Miaoyin Zhenren, it was because Miaoyin Zhenren was too exceptional.

No matter how formidable Zhao Yi was, the wisdom of two lifetimes couldn’t compare to someone who had a brain filled with a million books, able to comprehend and integrate them.

In a way, when Miaoyin Zhenren criticized Zhao Yi as uneducated, it wasn’t a put-down; it was almost a compliment.

After all, not everyone had the privilege to be evaluated by Miaoyin Zhenren.

Anyone she commented on was invariably a learned scholar.

The fact that Zhao Yi was criticized by Miaoyin Zhenren indirectly proved that he indeed had some substance.

This was also why Hertz, a dignified Grand Mage, was so easily swayed and ultimately pledged allegiance to Zhao Yi!

Hertz’s perception of Zhao Yi shifted upon meeting the protagonist.

The protagonist, being a mere mortal, could use Dragon Language Magic, completely shattering Hertz’s worldview.

Yet, such an extraordinary talent couldn’t fully exhibit his potential in front of Zhao Yi. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

It was only then that Hertz realized his teacher was not ordinary.

Later, when Zhao Yi promised to give Hertz a Law Fragment, it completely astonished the poor old man.

Hertz’s unwavering faith in Zhao Yi was cemented when Zhao Yi easily passed through the restriction set by the Mage Guild over the sea.

Zhao Yi being able to pass through a restriction only a God of Law could pass meant he was, at least in capability, a God of Law.

On one hand, there were the Gods of Law who constantly thought of stealing his things; on the other, a mentor who wanted to give him a Law Fragment upon meeting.

Unless Hertz was a fool, he definitely knew which side to choose!
