Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 279 Total Annihilation, Holy City Void Mage Corps Deployed
A few drops of scarlet blood were stained on Kha'Zix's massive, scythe-like forelimbs, which were being rapidly absorbed by its carapace.

It shook itself and then scanned the next target.

The Holy Shadow has fallen.

And a new Void Hunter has arrived!

An earth-type super-tier mage reacted extremely quickly, roaring and unleashing his strongest defensive spell the instant Kha'Zix's figure flickered!

"Earth's Barrier, Rock-Solid Guardian!"

Thick rocks rise from the ground, layer upon layer, enveloping him in an impregnable fortress!

However, Kha'Zix did not appear in the direction he had predicted.

It emerged silently from the shadows behind the fortress!

The pair of scythe-like forelimbs did not slash; instead, highly condensed void energy formed a spiraling purple vortex!

"laugh--!!!"

The tip of the scythe pierced through the fortress without any obstruction, precisely striking the earth mage in the back!

Feeling my life force being frantically drained and devoured by that cold blade...

The fortress collapsed silently, burying him and the Void Hunter together, leaving only the blood dripping from the tip of the blade.

Several mages stood back to back, their various magical lights flashing wildly, weaving together a dense network of firepower, attempting to repel the elusive shadow with a saturation attack.

"Ice Lock! Lightning Domain! Fire Rain!" A torrent of magic poured forth!

Kha'Zix's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the raging energy turbulence.

The next instant, the giant scythe, with a shrill whistling sound that tore through space, like the guillotine blade, slashed down from below at a tricky angle!

"Pfft! Crack!"

The sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh and bones shattering mingled together!

Several mages were cleaved in two at an angle!
"what--!!!"

Witnessing such a horrific death, the remaining mages instantly collapsed!

Fear completely overwhelmed their reason; they screamed and scattered like headless flies.

Each flash of dark purple light was accompanied by an abrupt, agonizing scream and the blooming of a tragically beautiful blood flower!

Kha'Zix, like the Grim Reaper, wields his scythe, composing a desperate final chapter on the chaotic battlefield.

The massacre ended in a very short time.

As the last ray of magical light faded and the final desperate cry dissipated in the wind and snow, the battlefield in the Alps fell into utter silence.

Only the cold wind swept across the littered corpses.

At the summit, Heidi's figure had long since vanished, leaving behind only this deathly place utterly tainted by the power of the void.

The formidable Third Holy Judgment Legion, personally led by Saint Shadow Nosi, which came to provide support, was completely annihilated! Not a single survivor!

The news, like a heavy death knell, reached the Holy City!
"The entire army wiped out? Norsi... also perished?" Archangel Remiel's voice was filled with disbelief.

Uriel's face was also grim: "The Alps? That 'safe zone' that we cleared out hundreds of years ago and confirmed had no Emperor-level beings? A support force led by Saint Shadow and composed of elite Saint Judgment Legion was wiped out before they could even send out a complete distress signal?!"

"It seems we've been too lenient all these years!"

"The demons hiding in the shadows have accumulated power beyond our expectations! They've even... given birth to some unknown beings that could threaten the Holy Shadow!"

His anger was tinged with a deep-seated arrogance.

In their eyes, the Alps were already a "cleaned-up" backyard.

"Hmph!" Uriel stopped, a cold glint in his eyes. "Fine! This is a good opportunity to thoroughly cleanse the entire Alps!"

"Remiel! We can't send any more conventional forces!"

“We must strike with lightning speed, wiping out the enemy! Send Brook! Take the three Archangels and…” Uriel’s voice paused slightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, “…deploy the ‘Void Mage Corps’!”

"The Void Mage Corps?"

“That’s right!” Uriel said firmly.

"The power of the 'Void Mage Corps' is unique! Moreover, this is the perfect battlefield to test the practical application of our 'research results'!"

Remiel remained silent for a few moments.

Using the "Void Mage Corps" is extremely risky. This power is a double-edged sword, and if not handled carefully, it could backfire.

"……All right!"

"It's time to see if these methods of void symbiosis are actually feasible."

"Order: Saint Shadow Brooke is hereby ordered to immediately lead the three Archangels and dispatch the First Battalion of the 'Void Mage Corps' to take full responsibility for the clearing operation in the Alps!"

"Objective—Completely eradicate all demons from the mountains!"

The command was given, and the cold chain began to turn.

Soon, deep within the Holy City, in a secret base sealed by a barrier.

The heavy door slid open silently.

An indescribable and unsettling sense of emptiness washed over me.

Inside the door, a constantly pulsating, dark purple light enveloped the space.

Hundreds of figures stood silently in the dim light.

They wore specially made black combat uniforms, the style of which was completely different from that of the Holy Judgment Mages or the Temple Knights.

Most of these people's faces were hidden under hooded helmets.

Their magical energy fluctuations were extremely subtle, carrying a twisted, devouring, and chaotic quality.

This is the Holy City's "Void Mage Corps"—a group of human mages who voluntarily or involuntarily coexist with "Void Worms" from the Mediterranean and have forcibly fused with the power of the void!
The leader was taller and more robust than the other members, and the purple patterns flowing on his black armor were deeper.

He wasn't wearing a helmet, revealing a completely expressionless face.

He was originally a forbidden spellcaster whose life was nearing its end.

However, after merging with the void creatures, his gradually dissipating life force slowed down.

He had three Void Eggs fused within his body.

At that moment, he slowly raised one hand.

Covering it was a "hand" completely encased in a dark purple biological carapace—or rather, a weapon mutated from the end of a limb.

The carapace is not worn, but grows out from under the skin and flesh, tightly wrapping around and replacing the original tissue.

This "armor" originating from the void covered every inch of his body, with grotesque bone spurs protruding at the joints, and three faintly pulsating, core-purple protrusions visible in the center of his chest—the very three void eggs that were completely bound to his life.

This legion is armed with twisted forces.

Led by Brook and three Archangels radiating powerful holy light, they surged toward the teleportation array.

Target – The Alps!
The Holy City has actually dispatched this "Void Mage Corps," a force that coexists with demons (Void Worms)!
Is this a sword to slay demons, or a key to open Pandora's box?
