Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 711 Legendary Battle (4-in-1)

"Angel-class battleship..."

Legendary mage Appeli, Bagelt…

Roy frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"These are all threats! I wonder if the Alliance's great wizards can withstand them!"

Although the alliance will try its best to provide shelter.

But war is not child's play; when it really happens, asymmetric kills are common.

It could even be said that they constitute the vast majority!

Between people of the same level, it is very difficult to kill each other.

The vast majority prefer to prey on the weak.

Or perhaps two powerful individuals are fighting, neither able to defeat the other, and the aftershocks of the battle sweep away a large number of onlookers.

More often than not, they didn't even know where the enemy was and died from unknown area-of-effect attacks.

There's nowhere to reason with them!
After that, Roy contacted his old colleague Legatos to inquire about the details.

The high-ranking wizard also looked distressed and told him that he had received the message.

"This was caused by the reinforcements from the mages."

Under normal circumstances, building an Angel-class warship is no easy task.

However, relying on past assets and managing to cobble together a ship despite various losses, it is still possible.

More importantly, the Achinila side offered support, sending two newly promoted legendary mages!

"A mage of this level is a special existence..."

Roy frowned slightly.

"They can control their own source of magic and freely move between the material world and the astral plane."

Like the Great Wizard, if one wants to enter the material world, one must suppress one's energy and reduce it to 9999.

However, the wealth of knowledge and superb skills, various expertise, special abilities, and top-notch equipment that come with a long life are incomparable to those of ordinary archmages.

If a legendary mage successfully breaks through our defenses and sweeps across multiple planets in one fell swoop, it will be an extremely dangerous situation for us!

Legatos probed, "If that's the case, should we 'shift our focus' to the stargate?"

From the very beginning, the alliance has not allowed anyone to leave the battlefield or evade conscription without authorization.

However, if they do not flee this star system on their own, but instead, like Archmage Rum, "shift their battleground" to the stargate and "adjust" their strategic position, they will be able to do so.

Both I and Legatus have this kind of room to maneuver.

That is……

"Shift battle" to the Stargate, "protect" Fran Star!

Roy glanced at the other person's figure in the crystal ball and sighed softly, "We'll see when the time comes."

When things really come to a last resort, flexibility is unavoidable.

But once they retreated to the Stargate, to Fran Star, there was nowhere left to retreat to.

Besides, the enemy might not make it so easy for us to escape.

The Angel-class battleships seem to have the capability to blockade the battlefield!
……

"Regardless, let's arm our men first, and then make other preparations!"

After ending the communication, Roy summoned Artedia to make some arrangements.

"This 'Titan's Grip - Hammer of Varos'... is yours to use."

In addition, I will give you a shield that I have carefully forged over the years!

As he spoke, he gave her the large hammer, and then took out a finely crafted knight's shield with a beautifully painted rose emblem on its surface.

The Hammer of Varos is a level 4 hammer weapon comparable to a demigod artifact. It can freely adjust gravity to unleash powerful physical attack capabilities.

The Knight's Shield is made from 10 pounds of Viser adamantite, the essence accumulated over the past few years, with the material alone valued at nearly 5 million!
Viser's adamantite already possesses extremely powerful magical and physical attributes. When combined with a shield forged from a magic array, it is sufficient to withstand the vast majority of attacks.

Roy personally enchanted, coated, and added special effects to it, giving it almost maximum resistance to all kinds of things.

The inscription on the inside indicates that its name is...

Artia's Shield!

"Lord Roy, isn't this the one you used before?"

Artia accepted the shield engraved with her name with a hint of surprise, but hesitated about the great hammer.

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

Roy said.

Actually, he didn't use the sledgehammer much himself.

Considering factors such as job suitability, combat strength allocation, and mission combinations, it would be better to give it to her.

In the past, when I was not strong and lacked a sense of security, I had a tendency to concentrate resources, wanting to get all the good things for myself and arm myself to the teeth.

But upon closer examination, that approach actually wastes a lot of resources.

Skill potions, or knowledge, are all good; the more the better.

But the equipment...

Leaving aside issues such as energy interference between them and over-concentration in strategic deployment, etc.

As the main body becomes stronger, its dependence on them decreases.

Now, I need level three combat power.

Artia, Pranzhe, and others are all at the second-level base level. They rely on the Apostle Armor to enhance their combat capabilities and can be used as third-level warriors.

These equipment will be more helpful to them, so let's give them them.

"You are my longest-standing follower, and also my most loyal and reliable... Keep up the good work!"

After giving her the equipment, Roy also fed this centaur-born female general a big bowl of chicken soup, making her all smiles.

Then, he summoned Beryl and gave her a fine gold javelin, while Angaree also gave her a set of enhanced battle armor and gloves.

"You are the most devout and brave/the most obedient and well-behaved... Keep up the good work!"

The javelin he gave Beryl looked unremarkable, but it actually contained a fragment of the Godhood of the Vengeance Domain that he had obtained earlier, allowing him to use the marking ability.

Under the illumination of the Eye of Hermes, it emitted a rich purple light, interspersed with golden glimmers.

"Spear of Vengeance (Level 4)..."

An unfinished semi-divine artifact...

Special Effect 1: Marks enemies with the power of vengeance, providing a tracking anchor point and drawing upon the mental power of allies to help discover its location. The duration depends on "Power," with each point of Power requiring one year or 1000 units of mental energy to remove...

Power: 12000...

Aesthetic Effect: Grants an additional 50 degrees of agility and deals continuous damage to hit enemies, with a base damage of 100 degrees every 5 seconds...

Master Effect: Generates a spear of energy that attacks as projectile magical damage and can inflict a mark of vengeance…

This is a semi-finished weapon. When combined with the projection of the energy spear, it can unleash the spell "Energy Spear," piercing the opponent and marking them!
Beryl was not outstanding among her followers, but Roy still used all the precious fragments of her divine power on the weapons in her hands for tactical compatibility.

Anjali received slightly less, but Roy specially kept her behind, offering her a few words of encouragement and promising, "Once you open your heart chakra and advance to level two... I'll arrange something for you then!"
You are a true genius, and I have the highest hopes for you, so I am the strictest with you!
But level 3 armor will be available, and high-level equipment will be too!

Anjali's eyes flickered, and she clenched her fist firmly, saying, "Yes! I will try my best!"

******
Finally, Roy summoned Nisa.

"These were custom-made just for you..."

Try them on and see!

He couldn't produce too many level 4 equipment at once, but he tried his best to provide his followers with level 2 and 3 items.

Moreover, given his status as an "art master" and "alchemy master," and his willingness to spare no expense in crafting treasures for his followers, he was willing to spend a great deal of money.

This is enough to ensure that each piece contains "aesthetic value" and "masterful special effects".

This set replaced many of the equipment that Nisha originally used.

In this way, combined with the psychic abilities granted by the Heart of Tailin and the combat power of the Level 3 Apostle Armor, Nisha became even stronger.

Subsequently, he even entrusted her with the Level 5 material that was accidentally created, the Magic Diamond Marble.

Roy has figured this out pretty well and is confident he can replicate it.

Rather than letting the cat steal it to play with, it's better to give it to Nisa.

As for how to apply it specifically, that's up to her.

"You are the most senior and strongest among my followers. I really look forward to your advancement to level three... Keep up the good work!"

Nisha nodded, a hint of excitement in her eyes.

But then I felt something was off.

With a hint of suspicion, she tentatively asked, "You wouldn't say that to every single one of us, would you?"

"What nonsense! Don't slander me!"

Roy waved his hand, firmly denying it.

"is it?"

Nisha weighed the marble in her hand, feeling that something was not quite right.

But then I thought about it again, and this thing is indeed the highest-level item Roy has so far.

I felt happy again.

No one else has this!
After arranging all the treasures, Roy kept the Golden Grail in his hand.

This is a wondrous item that favors the spellcaster, and the crystallized wish it contains is also suitable for them.

Although the last time I refined marbles, I exhausted my willpower, I have been able to replenish it slightly over the past few years thanks to natural recharging.

Moreover, Roy also hopes to use it to explore the deeper mysteries of the power of desire.

The Hand of Mercanoher and the Ring of Kiric were also left behind.

But in fact, Roy also wanted to leave the Demon Hand to Anjali, to use in conjunction with the fist techniques of Chakra Martial Arts.

However, Anjali's level was not high enough, and her overall strength was insufficient to protect such a treasure.

Let's wait until she advances to level two, is able to wear level three armor, and has enough power to protect herself.

……

Over the next period of time, Roy made full use of the various materials he had gathered to carefully craft several pieces of high-level equipment for himself.

These are all level three treasures that have reached the purple aura level, each with its own unique features.

But the more this happened, the clearer he became of the importance of "people-centeredness".

Not everyone is like me, covered in cheat codes.

Just like my senior, Tina.

He's still stuck at level one peak and hasn't been able to advance to level two.

Not everyone can be promoted to level two.

They've most likely reached the end.

In comparison, Mogos might have a better chance of being promoted to level two.

"After all, he is the ultimate scroll king who emerged from among billions of people in a low-magic world, representing the highest talent and strongest intelligence in the entire world."

Even the Seven Towers Alliance highly values ​​such individuals and wants to incorporate them into its system.

The previous promotions were difficult because the platform I was on was limited; even magic was scarce.

He intended to reward these people to boost their fighting strength.

But after all, they weren't his followers.

This will only be granted when one has rendered meritorious service or accumulated sufficient other exchangeable resources.

In other words, rewards and punishments are measured.

Roy temporarily left the high-level equipment in his possession and waited patiently.

……

"Master, Osteron has contacted you again, requesting to speak with you directly!"

Another day, the girl's head floated over and reported to Roy.

"Alright, call Alice over and come with me."

Roy thought for a moment and then responded.

Shortly after.

West of the city of Oros.

In the underground cave where the Bone Demon resides.

The skeleton mages' eyes gleamed with an eerie light as they looked at Roy and Alice as they entered.

At this moment, the level 2 skeleton mages all had level 3 elemental gems on their foreheads, and the other level 1 subordinates also had level 2 gems.

These were treasures that Roy had inlaid for them using special techniques, as if they had a third eye, glowing in the dark.

Inside this cave, one can still vaguely see several level zero bone demons, as well as elite enhanced beings that have undergone enhancements such as "petrification" and "embedding".

Roy ignored them and went straight to the inverted pentagram array at the deepest part, where he found Osteron already waiting for him.

"Lord Roy, this is the 'Scythe of Death' that I wish to entrust to you for repair... and the four divine fragments required."

They are all beings from the realm of death!

Osteron's gaze swept over Roy and the silent angel maid following behind him. He lowered his eyes and spoke slowly.

Over the past few years, the Bone Demon King learned of Roy's alchemy skills and his experience of crafting semi-divine artifacts for other level-three powerhouses, and he began to have designs on him.

As a result, he remained very calm.

Until recently, he offered to help repair a weapon called the Death Scythe, making it all very mysterious.

"Let me see, is this the weapon you mentioned 'found' before?"

Roy's gaze fell upon the treasure he had summoned, and a bright golden light appeared before his eyes.

Somewhat unexpectedly, it was a long-handled war scythe with a curved handle shaped like the number "7".

Its appearance is simple and unadorned, without any extraordinary decorations.

On the contrary, the bone handle looks like it has been eroded by time, and the blade of the sickle is directly rusted, making one worry that it has a "tetanus effect".

But faintly, the blade's crimson light flickered, carrying a captivating spiritual aura.

With the Eye of Hermes, Roy had a view of almost everything.

"Heland's Harvest - Death Scythe (Level 4/5)..."

One of the true gods of the underworld, the Life Reaper Holland, personally forged this divine artifact, which possesses the power of death that resonates with his own godhood...

Power: 82560/82560 (Damaged)
Special Effect 1: "Life Harvest" - A phantom attack that strikes enemies from a distance. If it successfully deals damage, it performs a check equivalent to the 7th-level spell "Death Finger," affecting all enemies with life within a fan-shaped area. This ability consumes a fixed 1000 power points. If stronger power is applied, a more powerful Death Scythe can be manifested to harvest the life of more and stronger enemies.

Special Effect 2: Enemies killed by this artifact have 5% of their life force absorbed and transferred to the artifact's wielder, becoming their life force. This ability cannot be applied to inanimate objects such as undead or machines.

Effect 3: Damaged
Effect 4: Damaged
Feature 5: Damaged
......"

******
After reviewing the information, Roy was shocked and looked at Osteron: "When I fought you, you seemed to have used a spell that conjured a giant scythe!"
Could it be that they are trying to trigger the power of this damaged artifact?

Fortunately, this is a damaged artifact.

Fortunately, my soul's rank is high enough, and my defense is strong enough!

If it weren't for all of these factors, I probably would have been killed in a heart attack!
Osteron listened to Roy's question with a deep gaze, but only acquiesced without answering.

"You guy..."

Roy was secretly puzzled.

Where exactly did they "find" this thing?
In this magical universe, there are multiple "underworlds" dominated by death energy and the undead, existing in the legends of different countries and regions.

This includes multiple levels of the bottomless abyss and various locations within the nine layers of hell. However, what truly aligns more closely with the broader concept of the "underworld" should be the "Netherworld Realm" between the abyss and hell, also known as the "Netherworld Dimension."

That is the true, pure realm of death, conforming to the definition of "place of eternal rest," rather than a place filled with religious trials or the chaos of the abyss.

"Tell me first if you can handle it."

If possible, please accept the commission.

If you can't, please return it to me.

Osteren made him examine the sickle for a while.

After a moment, he asked.

"Absolutely no problem. This level of commission is a piece of cake for me!"

Roy snapped out of his daze and boasted.

In fact, he had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, but that didn't stop him from spouting nonsense and showing great confidence.

"What I can offer is to spend two fragments of divine essence to repair it..."

Strive to restore more powers...

The extra one is insurance; if you complete the task successfully, it will all be your reward!

However, if a total of four are used and all four fail to be refined, then corresponding compensation obligations will be incurred…

Ostereon's tone became somewhat serious as he spoke.

Although he has the financial means to seek compensation, it would be extremely difficult to escalate the matter to that extent, requiring a major confrontation.

Roy nodded slightly.

In fact, successfully completing the commission could also increase his fame and reputation, which would be more conducive to his future development.

Conversely, the opposite is also disadvantageous.

Therefore, whether for immediate rewards or potential future prestige and benefits, we must take this commission seriously.

……

After clarifying the pros and cons, both sides began to take it seriously.

Roy and Osteron discussed the matter again, adding many details, and finally officially finalized the contract.

After negotiation, both parties agreed to entrust Roy with the task of repairing the artifact, with the goal of "raising its power value to over 10 points and attempting to trigger new special effects".

The former is the main content of the entrustment, while the latter is an additional clause and is not mandatory.

However, if you have the capacity, it's best to do your best.

Osteron was willing to pay extra for this, including but not limited to treasures from hell or his army of bone demons.

Upon seeing these conditions, Roy understood that Osteron knew this item was a divine artifact created by the true god, and there was no chance of getting something for nothing.

The power value has been increased to over 10 points, presumably to restore its rank and enhance the power of its triggered effects.

As it turned out, the signing had just been completed.

Roy touched his head, as if he had suddenly remembered something due to amnesia.

"Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you."

"Is there anything else?" Osteron asked curiously.

"An Angel-class warship belonging to the Ellen aliens, and two legendary mages from Achinila..."

They're about to attack; can you help me fight?"

Osteron was taken aback, then roared in fury, "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Believe it or not...

I only found out about it recently.

Roy said quietly.

"Damn it, you bastard!"

Osteron said angrily.

……

Osteron looked very angry, so Roy decided not to provoke him and quickly left the cave with Alice.

The moment he stepped out, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This time, it wasn't that he intentionally tried to sabotage the other party.

It was purely driven by fate, a twist of fate.

It just so happens that I've been commissioned to refine it.

It's too late for Osteron to regret it now; the damaged semi-divine artifact and the four fragments of divine essence have already fallen into his hands.

I may not necessarily want to break the contract and take them for myself...

It's not worth ruining your reputation for just four fragments of divine power...

However, due to the uncontrollable factor of war, he suffered losses, and it was he who was at a disadvantage!
Although the contract stipulates that I also have an obligation to ensure the safety of these items.

However, high-end alchemy commissions are entirely dominated by the alchemist, who holds the initiative in all aspects.

Therefore, contracts are still more advantageous to oneself.

Osterham was always more worried about the losses than he was.

However, this is ultimately just an external force.

Roy couldn't place all his hopes on it.

Preventing enemy attacks remains the top priority.

In the days that followed, Roy pondered the Death Scythe while actively overseeing defense and intensifying training.

……

Another day.

The figure of the great wizard Marechal descended.

He poured down boiling magic power, which, in the form of iron chains, was transforming into a black net that wove across the sky.

The sky trembled, as if it were bleeding.

The black netting, strand by strand, pierced through the creature's flesh like fine steel wires woven into its skin.

However, the will of this world trembled and dared not utter any angry resistance.

He was like a lamb to the slaughter, caught in the web of all spirits.

This is a simple net that covers the entire world, preventing the invasion of external evil spirits.

This is aimed at gods, legendary mages, and all other powerful beings that transcend the material world.

When Roy had previously mastered the "Apache Prohibition," he had studied the "Net of All Souls." He took this opportunity to observe it closely and discovered that many crisscrossing iron chains were woven into the void.

"Are they setting up an iron chain formation across the river?"

Roy muttered to himself.

As a result, more than a year passed, and the surrounding area remained calm and nothing happened.

Year after year...

It wasn't until the third year that an urgent report came from the front lines: a great war had broken out in the central star region, and a Grand Wizard of the Alliance was seriously injured.

This setback for a powerful figure triggered a domino effect, leading to another crisis across the entire Nord front.

Roy's planet Grastan was also immediately under great threat.

But at this critical moment, an order from the Alliance arrived, requiring them to rush to the front line and attack the planet Ktapodi!

******
"Ketaboti?"

Roy had been stationed in Glastan for many years, so he naturally knew what kind of place it was.

"That is a large planet, home to billions of intelligent life forms."

Throughout the entire star system, aside from the Ellenians, the Ktapodians are the most powerful!

After receiving the order, Roy pondered to himself.

"If we could easily conquer this planet and plunder hundreds of millions of souls, or other treasures, that would be more like it."

But at this critical juncture...

Are you sure you're not trying to scam us?

"The alliance's consideration is likely to be to attack where the enemy must defend, thus alleviating the crisis in the rear."

After all, if the enemy is allowed to advance unimpeded, there will be many more locations that need to be defended.

Having absorbed a vast amount of war knowledge and strategic planning information, the girl's skull offered her advice.

"That makes sense. It's better to have the battlefield in Ktapodi than to let it spill over here!"

However, why do I suddenly feel like I've fallen into a very deep trap?
Like Legatos and me, we each have interests on one or more planets here.

The surrounding star clusters, and the numerous lunar satellite-class asteroids of varying sizes, are constantly being explored...

In recent years, the number has risen to over 100, involving hundreds of billions of yuan in interests!

It would be such a waste to throw it away!

……

Despite his complaints, Roy decided, after some deliberation, to obey the league's arrangements.

As expected, Legatus then sent a private message to Roy to discuss the matter.

Roy advised him, "Don't overthink it, just accept it honestly."

Legatos said dejectedly, "It's not that I'm against this arrangement, but I've heard that there are as many as 10 archmages from the past that can be mobilized from Ellen Star and the surrounding worlds."

There are only 7 of us on our side, including the two of us!
Intermediate and low-level wizards might be enough...

But most of them were trained on the spot, and their basic skills aren't very solid.

"Don't worry, they may not be able to transfer them over there."

Roy, however, has confidence in the league.

He didn't believe that the league's top brass couldn't even judge the advantages and disadvantages of such a simple situation.

The attacking side was already at a disadvantage, and it wasn't meant to punish them by sending their direct lineage wizards to their deaths.

Therefore, there must be other arrangements.

Sure enough, December arrived quickly.

Roy and the others were ordered to teleport to a moon guard near Ktapoddi.

Just as he regained his footing, he looked up and saw three towering figures piercing through the starry sky, like colossal celestial beasts, surrounding Ktapodi!

"So that's how it is. The great wizards have all been mobilized, preparing to go all out?"

Among them, the figure of the great wizard Marechal was prominently featured.

Roy recognized the other party and found that He was close to the huge blue planet that required Roy's arms to encircle.

The dim light suddenly became dazzling.

That is spirituality derived from the will of the world.

Roy saw it on the moon; the great wizard's enormous figure appeared as if scorched by flames, revealing a hazy glow.

The Malay Shaman, in pain, stopped advancing, but instead of retreating, he threw the prepared magic spell forward.

The phantom was silent, and separated by the distant starry sky, he couldn't hear anything at all.

But all that was seen was a surge of chaotic energy that struck the planet.

A bright radiance swept across the entire planet, enveloping it like a ring of flames.

But in an instant, silence returned.

Amidst the violent tremors, terrifying magical energy brought about a horrific catastrophe, turning the azure light crimson!

After launching this attack, the Archmage Marechal seemed to be met with a strong counterattack, his figure trembling violently in the void.

However, because He had made prior preparations, and the two great wizards beside Him joined forces to help share the burden of the counterattack, He was still able to retreat successfully and arrive at the side of the Moon Guard.

Suddenly, the maniacal laughter faded away.

Go...

Little ones!

I have opened the gates of this world for you; go ahead and plunder and destroy as you please!

Hehehehe..."

As the great wizard's voice echoed in his mind, the entire pre-prepared legion was thrown into the world that had fallen into chaos due to the attack.

……

After a violent shaking and a dizzying spin.

Roy adapted quickly.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that he was standing on a vast expanse of land covered by what looked like a fiery sunset.

As far as the eye can see, the sky and the earth seem to be burning together, and the colorful clouds, along with the sunlight, illuminate everything.

The magic of this world was shaken by a terrible external force and was fully activated.

The chaotic radiation of magical energy formed terrifying outer space rays, just like gamma-ray bursts, sweeping across the planet.

With the power of a great wizard, if it were to be unleashed at its fullest, it could probably kill most of the life in this world in an instant. Only by hiding deep underground or in other sheltered places could one survive.

Fortunately, there is the will of the world here, with sufficiently powerful spiritual energy to block it.

A powerful spiritual force acts like an atmosphere, protecting the creatures below.

This is the truth behind the extraordinary scene they witnessed.

Roy withdrew his gaze and secretly assessed his own condition.

"Fortunately, it wasn't too badly affected!"

The energy of the world's will rarely affect lower life forms.

After all, His status is as high as level six, and earthly beings are just slightly larger ants in the eyes of the world's will.

Those who will truly be affected are great wizards or legendary mages.

They all had to suppress their own attributes to enter, and were unable to unleash their full power.

Those evil gods and demons who wish to descend will also encounter the same obstacles.

"Lord Roy, the legion has been assembled. Please give your instructions!"

While observing, Adrali, with a serious expression, came up to me and gave a military salute.

"Very good, strike immediately!"

Roy snapped out of his daze and gave the order.

At the same time, he himself boarded the magic carpet, along with several followers including Artia, Pranzhe, and Nisa, and took the lead in attacking the enemy city.

Intelligence indicates that it is a place called Dune City.

According to the strategic plan of the pre-war mobilization, Roy's part was to focus on this direction.

Before long, a large number of interstellar armors, along with various weapons and equipment, and mechanical golems launched an attack.

They had been scouting Roy and his group from hundreds of kilometers away, launching a barrage of fire from a distance far exceeding that of the ordinary magical world.

This is an advantage of a technologically advanced world, but in a short time, Roy's teleportation spell rendered it meaningless.

He led his most elite troops and landed directly above the city, then dispatched his men to launch a counterattack against the various bases that had opened fire.

The high-ranking guardian, Archmage Defons, had to personally come out to meet him.

(End of this chapter)
