Wizard: I'm leveling up by AFK in another world

Marius pulled a magic book from his pocket and turned to a page.

hum!

A purple ripple spread out from the base.

The next second, the dozens of wildly spinning vortexes came to a stop.

Immediately afterwards, the pressure of the vortex collapsing inward suddenly reversed and became an outward repulsive force.

Rumble!

The vortex exploded, and the violent shockwave instantly turned the hundreds of merman warriors at the forefront into a bloody pulp.

The blue seawater was instantly stained dark red.

Although Marius was only at level one, with the support of the magic center, his energy intensity had already reached the threshold of level two.

But this is just the beginning.

Behind Marius, the three official wizards stationed at the base also made their move.

A dazzling net of lightning descended from the clouds over the sea, enveloping the charging merman army.

The electric current traveled through the water, charring hundreds of fishmen until they fell into the sea.

The rows of magic cannons on the wall also turned their muzzles in unison, precisely planning the attack points with the highest killing efficiency, and unleashing a barrage of fire.

Within the range of the firepower, the sea creatures, whether with their hard shells or thick flesh, were instantly annihilated.

This was a complete massacre.

Despite the sea creatures' overwhelming advantage in both numbers and timing, their flesh and blood seemed utterly powerless against the highly sophisticated war machine of the wizarding civilization.

However, the high priest showed no fear whatsoever.

He looked at the countless corpses of his people floating on the sea, a trace of sorrow flashing in his turbid eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fanaticism.

"The ceremony... is complete."

He raised the coral staff high and then plunged it into the back of the giant tortoise beneath his feet.

"Children, come back!"

Bang bang bang!

As the high priest's desperate roar subsided, the merman corpses floating on the sea exploded, turning into wisps of blood-red mist that seeped into the bodies of the merman warriors still charging forward.

"Ahhhhh!"

Countless agonizing screams suddenly rang out on the battlefield.

The merman warrior who inhaled the blood mist began to swell rapidly.

Their once relatively well-proportioned humanoid skeletons crackled and popped as their spines were forcibly stretched, piercing their skin and turning them into hedgehogs.

Slippery tentacles emerged from their bodies, covered with countless eyes and wildly flailing hairs.

In just a few seconds, the merman army transformed into a horde of blasphemous monsters.

In countless pairs of crimson eyes, there was only the most primal desire to kill.

"roar!"

The mutated monsters roared terrifyingly as they charged madly toward the base's walls, braving a barrage of artillery fire and electric fences.

Zizizi!

The wizards' once indestructible attacks only managed to shave off a layer of flesh when they hit these monsters.

The flesh floated on the sea surface, even wriggling as if it were about to transform into a new monster.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Marius's expression finally changed.

On the holographic sand table, the red dots that had been mostly cleared suddenly began to grow back in a retaliatory manner.

"A bunch of lunatics! Fill this tank with your ultimate weapon, the Sun's Fury, and burn this entire sea to the ground!"

"Sir, is this the breeding area...?"

"Execute the command!"

Just now.

The shimmering energy shield outside the wall suddenly flickered violently.

Immediately afterwards, a gap appeared in the southwest corner of the shield.

"What happened?" Marius turned to look at the monitoring console. "Why did the three-zone matrix lose power?"

The advanced apprentice at the monitoring station was sweating profusely: "Report! Several power supply hubs in Zone 3 suddenly lost connection just now. The magic center urgently cut off the power supply there. This is the matrix's automatic defense measure."

"Sir, something may have happened in the lower levels of the base."

……

……

Ten minutes ago.

Two figures were busily working in front of a closed metal cabinet adorned with a purple crystal logo.

It was Seth and Ryan.

Seth held a red crystal engraved with intricate patterns and carefully placed it on the heat dissipation vent of the power supply cabinet.

He let out a long breath as he watched the crystal light up faintly.

"The shielding barrier is in effect."

Renn nodded and took a sealed black metal bottle out of his pocket.

He carefully unscrewed the bottle cap, preparing to pour it out.

At that moment, the two brothers focused all their attention on the heat dissipation vent.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes were coldly watching them from the shadow of a beam above them.

Just as Ryan bent down, Claire, who was on the crossbeam, threw out a glass bottle containing red powder.

The moment the glass bottle hit the ground, it exploded into a shower of sparks in the confined space.

"Who?!"

Seth reacted extremely quickly, drawing his scimitar the instant he sensed the movement and assuming a defensive stance.

However, his vision was filled with dazzling sparks, and he couldn't see the enemy at all.

They were ambushed.

Thinking of this, Seth's heart sank to the bottom.

The enemy is clearly well-prepared; there is likely a real killing move hidden behind those dazzling sparks.

He turned around to pull his brother up, but grasped at empty air.

"Raine?"

Seth was both shocked and furious, and instinctively swung his scimitar wildly, slashing amidst the sparks.

The blade created ripples in the water, and after several strikes, his vision was finally restored.

Seth was just beginning to feel overjoyed when his heart was suddenly gripped by fear.

A person stood in the dissipating smoke before my eyes.

The other person was wearing a mask and holding a small, gleaming knife against his brother's neck.

Renn closed his eyes, appearing to be unconscious.

"Who are you!" Seth asked coldly.

The other party did not speak, but instead pressed the knife even closer, the threat was obvious.

Give him back to me, and I'll spare your life.

That's what he said, but Seth knew it was impossible.

At the same time, he was also confused. If the other party was a guard of the base, why didn't they take advantage of the chaos in the fire and kill him directly?

The situation suddenly reached a stalemate.

Just as Seth was about to say something more, he saw a scene that made his eyes widen in horror.

The masked man beckoned to him defiantly, then plunged a knife into Renn's neck.

"You're asking for it!"

Seth roared, and his disguise tore off instantly, revealing his true form as a fishman.

He lashed his tail out at the ground and charged toward Claire with unstoppable momentum.

The scimitar flashed through the air, aimed directly at Claire's throat.

In Seth's view, the other party did not dodge, but simply stood quietly in place.

He gathered all his strength, preparing to roar, when he felt his body suddenly sink and fall to the ground.

After the intense pain, Seth felt weak all over and his eyelids felt heavy.

In the last moment before losing consciousness, he saw the other person take off their mask, revealing a face that he recognized quite well.

There, a mocking smile hung.

"You lasted longer than I expected. It seems your spine is in great shape."

The other person said something nonsensical, but Seth was no longer able to think about its meaning.
