Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 308 Void Pitholes Spanning the Continent, United Against a Common Enemy
With a roar from Rek'Sai, a continuous rumble and vibration occurred.

Following the surface of the European continent, whether in bustling human cities or in primitive mountains and rivers inhabited by demons and rarely visited by humans, hideous "wounds"—void pits—successively emerged.

These pits are the marks left by the rampage of the Void Burrowing Beast clan.

The edges of each pit are irregularly torn, with jagged, jagged edges.

A layer of dark purple energy flow always lingered around the pit.

They devoured the surrounding light, making the inside of the pit appear deep, deathly dark.

These voids and craters are not merely acts of geological destruction.

They are like poisonous thorns piercing the body of the continent!
It continuously erodes the surrounding geological structure, weakens the stability of the earth's veins, and triggers more violent earthquakes and collapses.

Even more frightening is that they are living network nodes!

It is the "underground highway network" built beneath the European continent by the Void Burrowing Beast race!
The burrowing beasts can sense each other through these pits, and can even instantly travel from one end of the continent to the other in a very short time by using the void energy between the pits.

They are transforming the very foundations of the European continent into a colossal lair where they roam freely and plunder at will!

The threat posed by the Void Burrowing Beast was not as overwhelming as the powerful sense of oppression brought by the Void Eye in the sky.

Rather, it has truly and thoroughly invaded the very foundation of the land upon which all living beings on the mainland depend for survival!

This rallied the entire European continent, both humans and demons, to resist Rek'Sai's Void Burrowers!
Under the command of Archangel Uriel, the Holy City immediately issued the highest-level "Legion Protection Order" to all magic associations, hunter alliances, noble families, and free super-rank mages throughout Europe!
The core of the mission is singular: at all costs, take the initiative to fill and purify those newly emerged void craters!
Stop the expansion of the burrowing beast network and the worsening of leyline pollution!

Some demon tribes reacted more violently and directly than humans!

At this moment, they demonstrated their instinct to protect their territory.

The lepidopteran anacondas active in the Danube River basin spew out highly toxic corrosive acid in an attempt to neutralize the purple energy at the edge of the pit; while the frost-toothed wolf packs of the Nordic snowfields patrol the pit day and night, freezing any burrowing creatures that try to emerge from the pit with their frost breath...

Venice, the Grand Prix has just ended!
Some countries that did not receive awards are already preparing to leave the European continent.

"Boom! Crash—!"

The violent tremors caused the crisscrossing canals to surge with raging waves.

Amidst terrified screams, several craters burst open on the main island of Venice and the surrounding lagoon area!
One of the potholes was prominently displayed on the edge of the famous St. Mark's Square!
A corner of the magnificent colonnade collapsed amidst the tremors, and a dark purple energy flow spread from the crater, eroding the square and creeping toward the base of the majestic St. Mark's Basilica!

The turbid canal water flowed back into the pit, mixing with the void energy and rising up strange purplish-black steam.

When disaster strikes, there is no time for hesitation!

The Venice Magic Association, local families, and elite mages from national teams who had just finished the competition and had not yet left were quickly organized.

The association president, his voice hoarse, issued the order: "Quickly! Follow the Holy City's instructions! High-level mage squads will be responsible for perimeter security and dispersing the crowd! Earth-type super-level mages, join forces and prepare to fill in the gaps! Light and fire mages, concentrate your efforts and first destroy the void energy nodes at the edge of the crater, severing its contamination and connection!"

"understand!"

Without much mobilization, the instinct for survival is the strongest call to action.

The blazing "Heavenly Flame Funeral" slammed into the writhing purple energy stream at the edge of the crater.

A pure beam of light from the "Holy Decree: Demon-Slaying Sword" pierced through the churning purple mist. Under the suppression of the mages, the purple light at the edge of the pit gradually dimmed and contracted.

A seasoned Italian high-level earth mage, his face resolute, roared, "Now! Earth mages, follow me! 'Rock Demon's Eye - Earthfall'!"

They simultaneously activated their magical energy, and the power of earth element began to condense!
Above the pit, a small, incredibly solid mountain phantom rapidly took shape and pressed down hard on the pit, whose void defenses had been temporarily weakened!
This is to completely seal up this "wound"!
However, just as the earth elemental mountain was about to cover the pit—

"Roar--!!!"

A violent roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the pit!
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying figure covered in thick rock plates, accompanied by a dense storm of purple energy, burst out of the shadows of the pit like a cannonball!

Its spiraling maw opened wide, its target aimed directly at the Italian high-level earth mage who was casting a spell with all his might!
A foul stench filled the air!

"Be careful!!"

"Master Antonio!!"

The mages on the perimeter were visibly furious and reacted with lightning speed!

Several wind tracks, water barriers, and light shields instantly overlapped in front of Antonio!
Furthermore, a sonic mage with exceptionally quick reflexes simultaneously unleashed "Kill Music Explosion," attacking the burrowing beast.

"Boom! Crack! Sizzle—!"

The burrowing beast's forelimbs slammed into the multiple layers of defense!
The wind trail was instantly torn apart, and the water shield was evaporated, but it also blocked its sneak attack!

However, a spatial rift appeared in front of its body, and it charged at Antonio again from another direction.

"Pfft!"

Its forelimbs grazed Antonio's shoulder, leaving a trail of glaring blood!
If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been swallowed whole!

"Ugh!" Antonio groaned, the excruciating pain turning his face deathly pale, but his eyes were filled with the horror of surviving a near-death experience.

The ferocious Void Burrowing Beast, having failed to kill in one strike, showed no reluctance to continue the fight, its massive body twisting strangely in the air.

Like diving.

"Boom--!"

The hard ground was easily broken through like quicksand in front of it.

Amidst flying debris and billowing dust, the ferocious predator, under the angry yet helpless gazes of the crowd, once again vanished into the depths of the earth, leaving behind another pit radiating an ominous purple light.

And the injured super-level earth mage Antonio.

The terror, cunning, and elusive nature of the Void Burrowing Beast were on full display at this moment.

They are like deadly vipers lurking underground! You never know when they might launch a sneak attack.

The battle for control of the pit was more brutal and difficult than expected.

In every corner of the European continent, fierce resistance similar to that in Venice was unfolding, and the struggle for every inch of land was stained with blood and magic.
