Above the mage!

Chapter 416 Overload
The wind elemental dragon spews out green vortices from a high position.

And this green figure was hiding underneath the green vortex.

The wind elemental dragon lowered its eyes, and could only see the green vortex that it spewed out, but could not detect the "tiny" green figure below the vortex.

Only the high-level mages headed by Mage Theodore, because they were suspended under the wind network and had a different angle, could clearly see the movements of the green figure.

Of course, if a fifth-order wind elemental creature could only rely on its eyes to observe things, it would be too low-class.

The problem is that the green figure is made entirely of wind element. When the true form cannot be seen, in the Wind Dragon's perception, it is a pure wind element creature.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand that although the structure of this green figure is exactly the same as that of the wind elemental creature, this thing has absolutely nothing to do with the wind elemental creature.

But as a wind elemental dragon, how could it focus on the blue figure when it determined that the blue figure it perceived was just a wind elemental creature?

Therefore, the green figure entered the Fengluo very naturally and smoothly.

The wind network restricts the passage of third-level creatures.

Its level obviously has not reached the third level and is not hindered.

"Oh my god.?!" Gao De pulled another mage companion who was almost drowning out of the water, took a deep breath, and then subconsciously looked in the direction of Feng Luo.

He understood that the key this time was the outcome of the battle between the high-level mages and the wind elemental dragon in front of the wind network.

Therefore, after his side suffered a setback, he became more concerned about the battle between the high-level mages and the wind elemental dragon.

Then, with just one glance, Gao De saw a scene that shocked him greatly:
His own storm soul actually appeared at the entrance of the wind network, and was sneaking into the wind network.

No, I just didn't pay attention to this guy for a few minutes. Where the hell did it go?
Are you coming back for dinner?

The cyan figure, the Storm Soul, naturally could not hear Gao De's endless complaints in his heart, nor did he care about the shock of the high-level mages in front of Fengluo.

It just follows its instinct and moves forward.

The surface of the Storm Soul's body was wrapped in a layer of fine green light, like a flowing veil of light, making its movements extremely light.

In its perception, at the source of this green vortex, there is a mass of extremely rich wind element energy, the degree of which is comparable to the degree of Gem Sweet Berry in attracting beasts.

The Storm Soul's "appetite" has no upper limit, and it seems that no matter how much wind energy it eats, it will never be full.

The only limitation is the speed at which it absorbs wind element energy.

Although the wind network is not stable yet, it is still very smooth for a small Karami like it to pass through.

As it shuttled through the wind, slight ripples appeared in the surrounding space, just like a fish swimming in the water creating ripples.

It passed by the wind elemental creatures that kept drilling out from the wind network and became the only one going against the flow.

After a moment of shock, another bright beam of light shot out from Master Theodore's obsidian staff.

【dawn】.

Wizard Theodore once again cast a five-ring spell.

The beam of light was like a giant sword burning with the power of the sun. When it passed through the wind network, the surrounding space made an unbearable buzzing sound, and even the edges of the wind network were covered with twisted ripples.

It cleverly bypassed the green vortex spewed out by the wind elemental dragon and landed accurately on the back of the wind elemental dragon.

The golden light element energy instantly turned a large part of its back into fine wind element particles.

The particles danced in the air like scattered dandelions or sparkling stardust.

Although it was not like attacking a real material creature, with blood and flesh flying everywhere and scales shattered, a large piece of the wind elemental dragon's body was torn off, leaving a gap.

But the wind elemental dragon didn't care at all.

First, for an energy creature like it, there is no sense of pain at all.

Another point is that it has suffered such damage many times in just a few minutes.

It simply activated the cyan crystal core in its brain to rotate slightly, quickly sucking in the wind element particles that were transformed from part of its body.

Driven by the powerful force of the blue crystal core, these wind element particles were like easily shaped mud and were re-kneaded into its body parts to fill the empty spaces.

But the next moment, a trace of extremely human disbelief and confusion flashed across the wind elemental dragon's pupils, which were composed of vortexes and hurricanes.

All the high-level mages outside Fengluo looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was a little difficult to understand.

The fundamental reason for the emotional changes between the two parties was that at this moment, even after being absorbed and reshaped by the blue crystal core, there was still a small piece missing from the back of the wind elemental dragon.

Before, no matter how damaged its body was, the Wind Elemental Dragon could quickly reassemble its body after reabsorbing the scattered Wind Elemental particles. The only change was that the reassembled parts seemed illusory and not as solid as the original ones.

But this time, a piece was clearly missing out of nowhere.

It looked as if some of the raw materials used to reshape the body were missing.

But how could there be a part missing?
The wind elemental dragon didn't understand.

However, it was the only one that didn't understand.

At this moment, most of its attention was occupied by the attack of the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon, and even its head could not move significantly, let alone look back at what was behind it.

Therefore, it could not see that a sneaky green figure, which it perceived as a harmless green figure of wind elemental creature, was wandering on its back.

Just now, at the moment when [Dawn] crushed part of the wind dragon's trunk and turned it into wind element particles, the green figure pounced on it like a hungry dog ​​that had been hungry for several days.

The green light surrounding his body turned into a miniature tornado, spinning rapidly to form an energy vortex that madly sucked in the surrounding wind element particles.

Although the wind dragon drove the blue crystal core to absorb these wind element particles to reorganize its body the next moment, in just a moment, the Storm Soul had already "eaten" a lot of wind element particles.

This also resulted in a shortage of wind element particles as raw materials for the Wind Elemental Dragon to reconstruct its body.

The wind element particles from the fifth-level wind element creatures are so pure that, for the Storm Soul, they are simply a tonic on par with thousand-year-old ginseng.

Just this one bite made the emerald green light spots in its body grow a little bigger.

It raised its head and looked at the group of high-level mages outside Fengluo.

——The wind dragon cannot look back and its movements cannot be seen, but the high-level mages who are facing the wind dragon from a distance can see all the movements of the Storm Soul.

The Storm Soul did not yet have eyes or expressions in the true sense, but at this moment, all the high-level mages understood the Storm Soul's meaning in an extremely strange way:
Keep going!
boom! boom! boom!
The loud noises of warships collapsing and crashing into the sea were heard one after another.

Every sound was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

As the first warship exhausted the magic power of the Orric Crystal, lost its holy light shield, and collapsed on the sea, it was like triggering a chain reaction, and more and more warships fell into the same situation.

It is tens of meters high, forming thick water curtains that continue to press down with tremendous force.

The splashes of water also contained broken wooden boards, broken masts, and even some air spirits that were caught in it, making the scene extremely chaotic.

When the water curtain fell, the waves it stirred up were more than ten feet high, creating layers of raging waves on the sea surface and swallowing up everything nearby.

At this moment, Gao De no longer cared about the Storm Soul that had already entered the tiger's den.

He dived into the water once again to avoid the bombardment of water pressure, and at the same time cooperated with Tuanzi to help those mages who lost control in the water and fell into dangerous situations.

The flippers on Gaode's body, formed by [Ocean Touch+], swung quickly, and he flexibly shuttled through the water, leaving a long string of bubbles behind him. "The situation is not good." Gaode thought to himself while saving people.

Looking at the warships sinking around him and his mage companions struggling in the water, his face was full of solemnity.

In this expedition, the human mages have fallen into a complete disadvantage.

But the problem is just as Gaode thought when he set out, in a war of this level, there is really only so much he can do.

This escort battle will not be won because of the addition of a first-ring mage, nor will it be lost because of the absence of a first-ring mage.

Victory or defeat has little to do with him.

In the distance, the battle between the wind dragon and the magic crystal cannon continued. Powerful energy fluctuations were heard from time to time, causing ripples on the sea water.
What can he, a first-level mage, do?
He is not the protagonist.

Even though the reporting of location on the warship and the rescue after the ship capsized may seem insignificant, the contribution he made actually far exceeds that of any other first-ring mage.

"With Tuanzi here, if things really don't work out, my chances of escaping and surviving are much greater than those of others." Gao De could only say secretly in his heart.

This war is not a bloody battle, and the wind elemental creatures do not have the intention to kill them, so if there is a real collapse, there is still a certain chance of survival.

This is the only good news.

On the sea, wind elemental creatures were still wreaking havoc, but they did not deliberately kill the mage who fell into the water, which made Gao De feel a little comforted.

call!
Gao De skillfully picked up a wizard who had just fallen from a boat into the sea. Before the other party could express his gratitude, he waved his hand and dived back into the sea.

There is no cost involved, and the more people you can save, the better.

And from a utilitarian point of view, each of these can be considered a life-saving favor.

Not everyone is grateful, but if even one in ten people remember this favor, the return rate will be extremely high.

Above the wind network.

"Attack!" Master Theodore was stunned for a moment, then he reacted quickly and shouted.

He still couldn't figure out the origin of the Storm Soul, but there was no doubt that it came from his side and was helping them deal with the Wind Elemental Dragon.

After seeing hope, all the high-level mages burst out with unprecedented passion.

For a moment, the light of the spell became brighter and the offensive reached its peak.

Piece after piece of body was either crushed or blasted into the most primitive wind elemental particles by magic.

And every time this happens, the Storm Soul will take the opportunity to absorb a small amount of wind element particles into its body.

As a result of this coordination, the wind dragon's body gradually became riddled with holes, with a piece missing here and a hole there.

Perhaps considering its huge body, this is not fatal, but it does make the wind dragon look extremely embarrassed.

The tornado in the wind dragon's vertical pupils was spinning more and more violently, and its anger was clearly revealed.

It doesn't feel any pain, but the physical defect still makes it unacceptable and extremely angry.

However, the direct pressure from the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon prevented the Wind Dragon from temporarily sparing any energy to deal with the mages.

It is now simply relying on its powerful body that it has accumulated over who knows how many years to withstand the attacks of the mages.

Its extremely high intelligence enabled it to understand from the beginning that the attack launched by the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon was time-limited.

So, it gritted its teeth and persisted in its anger, waiting for the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon to be shut down before clearing them all out.

"Thirty seconds, at most thirty seconds." Feng Long understood this truth, and Master Theodore understood it even better.

Moreover, he was accurate to the second in predicting the time when the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon would shut down.

He glanced at the dense wounds on Fenglong's body and felt anxious.

Storm Soul did a really good job and caused substantial damage to the Wind Dragon.

But it appeared too late, and swallowed too few wind elemental particles.

This one minute was not enough to inflict a fatal blow to the Wind Dragon.

In another thirty seconds, when the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon goes out, without it to attract the wind dragon's frontal firepower, it would be a fantasy for them to cast spells and attack the wind dragon as recklessly as they do now. Even facing the wind dragon's counterattack, their own lives would be extremely worrying.

How to do?How to do?
Master Theodore was anxious, but his eyes were always fixed on the wind dragon.

At this moment, he saw the Storm Soul making an extremely abrupt move towards him again.

It stretched out its hand, drew a few circles on its own head with its index finger, and then pointed at the wind dragon's head.

It is still a silent communication.

But damn, Master Theodore understood instantly.

I don’t know if it’s because they have such a good understanding of each other, or if Storm Soul’s “sign language” is too appropriate.

The Storm Soul meant to attack the wind dragon's head, directly aiming at the blue crystal core that served as the energy core.

Understanding the meaning is one thing, but being able to do it is another.

The head was too close to the wind dragon's mouth that was spewing green vortices. Any spell aimed at the crystal core on the head would be like a moth to a flame, and would be ruthlessly crushed before it could get close.

This is also the reason why they could only watch helplessly as the Wind Dragon continued to "revive" with the help of the blue crystal core.

But this time, facing the instructions of the Storm Soul, Master Theodore showed not embarrassment, but more hesitation.

The hesitation lasted only a second.

Master Theodore's experience and maturity as the chief mage enabled him to make crucial decisions at critical moments.

"Overload the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon!"

He lowered his head and spoke softly.

Then, Master Theodore's voice traveled across hundreds of meters and reached the Crown of Thorns.

In addition to the stable output mode, the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon can also briefly enter an overload mode at the cost of damaging the barrel and turret.

In overload mode, the amount of magic consumed by the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon will increase exponentially, but its power will also increase by 40% to 50% accordingly.

Moreover, it can only last for ten seconds. If it exceeds this time, the barrel will explode due to overload.

Even if it did not exceed ten seconds, the damage to the magic crystal cannon would still exist.

As a war-grade alchemical weapon, the maintenance cost of the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon is undoubtedly astronomical.

Unless it is a real emergency, the overload mode is generally not used.

But now is an emergency.
