Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

The battle for control of the outer city lasted only two minutes.

Even so, in those short two minutes, most of the city was crushed under the trampling of the war behemoth.

"Everyone! Retreat into the barrier immediately!"

"Whoosh—!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Vok flew off the city wall.

With a wave of his staff, a tornado containing countless wind blades instantly swept out, heading towards the war behemoth that was about to crash into the barrier.

"Whoosh—hiss hiss hiss!!!"

"roar!!"

In the blink of an eye, the war beast's back was torn to shreds by the tornado, and the orc wizard on it was not spared either.

Before they could even scream, they were shredded into piles of minced meat by the dense wind blades.

After defeating the giant beast, Vok immediately turned around and flew back into the barrier with the retreating crowd behind him.

"Click, click, click..."

"Buzz...buzz buzz buzz..."

As the last person entered, the rune-inscribed cannons on the city wall all turned forward, and deep purple light quickly condensed inside the muzzles.

These... which were supposed to be the magical power supplying the outer city area to the barrier, are now all converging into rows of cannons.

If all the shots hit, even these mountain-like war behemoths would be completely annihilated by this barrage of fire...

"Thump! Thump thump!!"

However, at the same moment, the giant beast in front continued to charge towards them, seemingly unafraid of the increasingly intense purple light on the wall ahead.

But the next second, they suddenly ran to both sides, revealing a wide passage.

At the end, a colossal war beast covered in scarlet bone armor suddenly appeared.

"roar--!!

"Thump! Thump thump!!"

It is the largest of them all, and its back even has scarlet bone growing out of it, which is the source of the scarlet bony armor on its body.

At this moment, the blood-armored behemoth was charging straight toward the barrier at an astonishing speed.

Upon seeing this, Vok immediately shouted:

"Turn! Lock onto the red one with the cannons directly ahead!"

An alarm bell rang in his mind, and he had a feeling that this giant beast was capable of destroying their barrier.

As soon as he finished speaking, many cannons on the city wall turned around and aimed their muzzles at the constantly moving red shadow.

"Buzz—!"

In an instant, the entire city wall lit up, enveloped in a thick purple light.

The next second, hundreds of magical light waves shot out from the cannon muzzle in turn, and streaks of purple light almost intertwined and covered the entire outer city area.

"BOOM!! BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!"

The roar of the explosion shook the city walls violently, and the purple light from the explosion instantly engulfed large areas of the outer city streets.

Many giant beasts had most of their bodies shattered by the light waves, collapsing on the spot like crumbling buildings.

However, the results are often not as satisfactory as expected.

Under the control of the orc wizard, many war beasts immediately lowered their bodies, using the fallen corpses of their companions as cover to withstand the bombardment of the light waves.

Fortunately, as the marked target, the blood-armored behemoth was immediately locked onto by more than a dozen beams of light and engulfed by the soaring purple light.

"..."

However, just when everyone thought the blood-armored behemoth had been completely annihilated, a heavy roar suddenly rang out:

"roar!!!"

"Thump! Thump thump!!"

The next second, before the dust storm had even subsided, the blood-red figure rushed out from within.

At the same time, the remaining surviving war behemoths followed, as if they were certain that the barrier could not stop them.

"How could this be?!"

On the city wall, looking at the blood-armored behemoth that was almost unharmed, only astonishment remained in Vok's eyes.

This bombardment consumed a third of the barrier's magical reserves; even a formal wizard would perish if hit head-on.

The continuous bombardment of twelve beams of light only caused the blood color to fade slightly from the bone armor on the giant beast's body.

Before anyone could guess the reason, the other party had already given the answer himself.

Someone defiantly cast a spell at it, but when the element touched the blood armor, it quickly turned into a ball of scarlet energy.

Upon reaching the barrier, the blood-armored behemoth did not charge in as expected, but instead abruptly stopped.

"Gurgle gurgle... Click—click click!!"

Immediately afterwards, its back suddenly arched violently, and its joints made a series of teeth-grinding "crackling" sounds.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, a huge blood-red bone spear emerged straight out from its spine.

As the giant beast gently jutted forward, the spear tip struck the barrier directly.

However, the expected scene of the giant beast being engulfed in flames did not appear.

Instead, a splash of crimson suddenly appeared at the intersection of the spear tip and the barrier.

It's not about covering, but about erosion and transformation.

The crimson hue spread rapidly, and within seconds, it had completely dyed the entire barrier scarlet.

At the same time, the blood-red color of the bone armor on the giant beast faded, turning into ordinary pale white bone armor.

On the city wall, gazing at the barrier that had been completely dyed scarlet, some guards exclaimed in disbelief.

"What...what is this?!"

Upon seeing this, Hughes and many other wizards who participated in the Blood Domain War all changed their expressions.

They knew exactly what it was; it was none other than Osiris's improved blood energy, a major weapon that had given the Allied forces a major headache.

"Buzz—!"

Unfortunately, after a buzzing sound, the barrier lit up with a blinding blood-red light and shattered the next second.

In an instant, the entire barrier transformed into droplets of blood, unleashing a torrential downpour of blood across the city of Corera.

"Splash, splash..."

Blood rained down on the streets of the central district and flowed over the top of the tower in the upper district, staining every house and tile with a layer of scarlet.

"..."

At the same moment, a huge burst of blood-red light lit up in the sky!

"Buzz—!"

……

On the other side, seeing that the barrier was no longer an obstacle, the war behemoths that had been eyeing the outer city area eagerly roared excitedly.

"Roar!! Roar!!"

The next second, they all moved at once and rushed straight towards the city wall of the central district.

"Thump! Thump thump thump!!!"

This time, without the barrier's obstruction, the roar of the war beasts stomping on the ground reached everyone's ears directly.

At this moment, even the earth was shaking.

"..."

Looking out over the city walls at the colossal beasts with glowing red eyes, Fuk had no choice but to harden his face and issue his final order:

"The war zone... has been moved to the central city area."
