Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 715 The Fall of a Legend (2-in-1)

"It seems like it worked?"

Once the "nuclear-powered manhole cover" was ejected into the sky, Roy had already completed his mission.

His mental strength wasn't strong enough to track and capture the entire process.

The subsequent guidance and detonation were all handled by the Grand Wizards.

So after a short while, they prepared to begin the evacuation.

However, given the current situation, it is impossible to leave directly. We must wait for clear information before dealing with the immediate enemy.

The effect of that last shot will directly determine many subsequent developments.

Therefore, he had no choice but to wait patiently, as if awaiting a verdict from fate.

Fortunately, just a few minutes later, clear news came down.

"Success!"

"The Angelos has been damaged!"

Roy's will was stirred, as if he were sucked into a magical crystal ball, where he saw a scene in the distant void.

In the sky, more than 1000 kilometers away, the huge warship "Angelos" hovered, its body radiating intense light.

Its protective mechanism was fully activated, and the massive energy field formed a honeycomb-like surface with interwoven golden threads forming a multifaceted sphere structure.

This should have been a perfect "absolute defense," but at this moment, a clearly visible dark hole appeared at the front of the "Angelos," which is also where the "dagger" tip was pointing.

The energy shield has been breached!
Like the crystalline walls of the universe being eroded and melted, the terrible trauma prevented the field from closing.

A few seconds later, the golden threads faded, and wormhole-like structures appeared in more places.

The scene, resembling soap bubbles rapidly losing their color, accompanied by the flashing lights on the massive warship's hull, clearly indicated a serious internal problem.

The great wizard Marechal seized the opportunity and extended his "tentacles" inside.

He is a being far more powerful than ordinary level four archmages and legendary mages, but he has had few opportunities to unleash his full power in previous wars.

At that moment, the terrifying tentacles burrowed in and immediately lashed out, strangling the victim.

Within seconds, a series of explosions occurred around the "Angelos" and its escorting golems.

Among them were many Level 3 beings, numbering in the hundreds, who descended and caused even Roy and his group a great headache.

As a result, they were completely defeated in just a few seconds!

……

"Warning! Multiple parts of the ship are damaged!"

"Warning! Abnormal mental energy field!"

"Warning! Energy system damaged!"

Inside the "Angelos", an even more serious accident is taking place.

The horrific destruction caused by the Star Antimony Explosion penetrated directly into the interior, causing a chain reaction of chaos within a range of two kilometers.

Head-on, a few unlucky mages were directly hit by "Pinecone" Kukunari.

This thing is essentially the same as the magic diamond marbles that Roy once crafted; both are high-strength materials at the fifth level.

At high speed, almost no mage can withstand its impact head-on; they are often reduced to mincemeat before they can even react.

Because the "pine cone" was small, the impact, though terrifying, did not cause any structural damage to the main body of the warship.

It wasn't until it penetrated multiple compartments and reached a crucial point on the handle that it was suddenly detonated, revealing its truly terrifying power.

First, there's the high-energy ejection from the star antimony itself.

The "pine cone" blueprint used by Roy allows it to scatter and impact in a spiral wave pattern.

The cracks and nozzles inherent in the structure itself ensure that this energy can be highly concentrated, like a propeller-shaped blade cutting.

The propulsive force generated by the explosion of the large and small stars propelled the "pine cone," which should have stopped, forward even further.

So, dragging its long tail of flame, it began to spin at high speed.

The terrifying airflow shattered everything inside. The vast majority of beings below level three, whether flesh and blood or mechanical constructs, died instantly upon being grazed or touched.

Even their souls were directly annihilated by the terrifying energy flow!

Those at level three or above are slightly better off.

Many of them also have top-notch defenses, or are placed in well-protected locations and receive complete protection.

Even so, many were seriously injured on the spot, and were then burned by the terrifying high energy that surged in, losing their lives completely!

DeFons happened to be resting in one of the cabins at that moment.

As a senior member of the Yachinila faction and a wounded soldier, he received top-notch treatment and care.

But that didn't work.

Today seems to be his unlucky day.

Above the adjacent hatch, several high-strength alloy fragments broke off and were ejected at terrifying speeds by the violent explosion.

These fragments, like shotgun pellets, pierced through the high-level protection constructed from high-strength alloy and arcane energy shields.

Before the great mage could even figure out what was happening, his brain was pierced and his head exploded!
The terrifying energy released by the explosion of more than twenty antimony stars of varying sizes surged forth, causing souls to collapse on the spot!

……

At the same time, in the main control room.

Several people were also injured by the surging energy.

Even the legendary mage Apelli couldn't escape being hit in the head by shrapnel.

The high-magic energy field generated by the star antimony was simultaneously burning their bodies and souls.

But what's even more terrifying is that the great wizards outside didn't waste this opportunity and joined forces to launch a fierce attack!

"Time stops!"

Apelli had to suppress his shock and anger as he activated the treasure he carried.

However, the giant tentacles had already crawled in through the warship's wound!
The metal walls seemed to be transformed by a terrifying energy, turning into cavities inside the monster's body!
This……

It looks like the stomach sac of some strange creature!

"You can't escape now. This is the 'Glutton's Stomach' that I crafted using a giant star beast I captured..."

Your flesh and soul will become its nourishment!

The voice of the great wizard Mareshar rang out, followed by the extension of tentacles.

At the same time, many eyes lit up within the hazy blood mist.

It was as if, in the void of the universe, one after another, enormous monsters opened their eyes.

Apelli felt an exceptionally terrifying mental pressure from it, and his head, which had just been pierced, seemed to ache even more.

"what……"

Suddenly, he was caught off guard and attacked by an invisible monster.

Looking down, he was surprised to find that a ghostly black shadow had crept up beside him and pierced his chest with its sharp claws.

The next moment, a giant hand reached out.

Appeli looked terrified and struggled desperately to escape.

But in the end, it was still grabbed by that big hand and crushed into mincemeat.

The soul-like body was pulled out.

The giant hand followed it, like following a vine to reach a melon, and grasped at the distant astral void.

Soon after, it felt like I touched something.

"what!"

A scream rang out. ******
Roy was caught off guard and didn't fully grasp everything that happened; his only regret was not being able to do things perfectly.

"It's still a lack of experience; we underestimated the power of these pinecone bombs..."

The timing of the detonation was also poor; it should have started erupting in succession from the tip...

The control system was indeed not easy to create; relying on the Grand Wizard's mental power for activation, it could only be detonated once at the point of leverage!

He always felt that antimony, being a level 4 substance, could be further explored.

However, this is too idealistic. Many prerequisites were not met, and the shape of the warship may not be entirely suitable for this detonation method.

If there's another chance...

But no matter what.

The expected damage effect was fully achieved.

It could even be said that it is several times higher than planned!
Just as he was thinking this, good news suddenly arrived.

"The legendary mage Apelli has fallen!"

Did they win by doing nothing?
No, it's not exactly a case of winning by doing nothing...

At best, it was only the great wizard who benefited.

I have made some contribution, to some extent!
Roy's mind raced with thoughts, but he was immediately filled with excitement.

"As expected of Lord Marechal!"

He was a level five archmage; he seized the opponent's true form and killed him instantly!

As a high-level wizard, Roy had a vague understanding that the existence of extradimensional life forms was difficult to explain using ordinary bodies or souls.

They can reside in the astral void, or they can project themselves and descend in avatars.

What is manifested is a "multi-faceted" entity of material beings and astral spirits, only the connection between the two is closer, making it much easier for them to descend than purely spiritual deities!
Just as higher-dimensional beings project themselves onto lower dimensions, making it difficult for lower-dimensional beings to see the whole picture, earthly creatures have almost no means to kill them.

They can't even perceive the "whole"!
This manifests itself in characteristics such as "soul rebirth" and "immortality," making it even more complex than the fragmented clones he currently possesses.

His own sliced ​​clones were originally created in imitation of this form of existence, but avatars and clones are different after all, representing different spiritual wills and life essences, belonging to different levels and domains.

Some so-called great demon kings or other demon gods in certain worlds can only be sealed away and not killed; they are the incarnations of higher-dimensional beings!

They are immortal and indestructible unless attacked by beings of level four or higher!
The great wizard Marechal seized the opportunity amidst the chaos to capture Apelli and kill him instantly.

Following closely behind, Roy kept a close eye on the news and learned that Baguette was terrified when she saw this scene and quickly fled into the void!
The Angelos has also been declared disabled and is no longer capable of fighting!
"very good!
Next comes the harvest!

He quickly sent messages to Asternes, Legatos, and others.

Then, he cast "Interdimensional Summoning" to contact Osteron!

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. The warship is destroyed now. Take it or leave it!"

"what!"

Upon hearing Roy's message, Osteron, who was on the other side of the magic circle, trembled violently.

Within his eyes, the flame of his soul flickered like a candle flame, revealing the intense fluctuations of his spiritual body.

The next moment, the summoning mark was transmitted.

That was an invitation extended to him by Roy, a being from the material plane.

Osteron was immediately torn between whether to trust Roy and team up with him again to fight the enemy.

"If you dare to lie to me again... I will never forgive you!"

They wanted to come to the material world, but were also afraid of being deceived by wizards like Roy.

But in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of this great opportunity and used his innate ability to cross dimensions to cross the magic circle.

"Ok?"

Upon arriving in Ktapodi, Osteron sensed something unusual.

"This world..."

"I'm scared!"

"How could I not be scared? Three archmages, an angel-class warship, and two legendary mages are fighting in the sky, and they've even lost lives!"
But don't worry, the battle is over now. What you need to do for me is to help beat the fleeing enemy and take down their archmages!

"Don't make this sound so easy!"

Osteron protested.

Roy's words were not human at all. No matter the circumstances, an archmage is not so easy to deal with.

But the battle had already begun the next moment.

Asternes, Legatus, and others launched an immediate attack on the enemy.

"The warship has been destroyed!"

"Even a legendary mage has fallen!"

Both of them found it quite unbelievable when they learned of this from the league.

If it weren't for the fact that the liaison was handled by the Red Consul Akhenin, and that they had quickly received confirmation from Roy, the two would almost have thought it was a hoax from the enemy to lure them into a trap.

But this was a crucial moment to expand their gains, and the two acted decisively without hesitation.

Osteron cursed under his breath, but still managed to pull out a spare staff and began chanting the summoning incantation for the "Gate to Another World".

……

"The legendary mage, Lord Appelli, has fallen..."

Lord Baguette has withdrawn from the battlefield!

All of you, cancel all war missions and retreat...

Good luck to you!

At the same time, on the other side.

The three archmages near Dune City finally received definite news from the sky.

They exchanged glances, their hopes completely extinguished, replaced by utter despair.

"How did it suddenly turn out like this?"

"This really shouldn't be happening..."

It shouldn’t be like this!”

The overall war situation was clearly still in their favor.

I originally thought we could take over the city of Dune and capture or kill a few high-level wizards!
But a great mage is a great mage after all, and he quickly forced himself to calm down.

"The surrounding void is sealed off, and the interdimensional teleportation array will definitely be interfered with by the Grand Wizard..."

How can we leave?

"I know a way to temporarily travel between astral planes..."

"It's too dangerous with the high priests right in front. Let's go around to the other side of the world and then cast 'Journey to the Spirit Realm'!"

After making their decision, the three of them hurried away, eager to leave.

However, Roy and his crew moved much faster than expected.

They had barely begun casting spells to conceal their presence and disguise their appearance when the entire wizard legion mobilized and charged forward with overwhelming force.

The three archmages looked at each other, somewhat unwilling, but still decisively said, "Stop fighting, we surrender!"

As spellcasters, they can be said to be highly rational and self-interested to some extent.

With one legendary mage dead and the other fleeing, they naturally wouldn't fight to the death so easily.

Thus, Roy and his companions captured three archmages and their respective entire mage legions in one fell swoop—an unprecedented feat.

Before they could even catch their breath, several other archmages in Ktapodi, upon hearing the news, also made the same choice!
