"On the Self-Consciousness of the Defense System" was written on the eve before Elson was frozen by the time enchantment. In a sense, this was Cadgar's last "relic".
When Cadgar hurriedly wrote down all the thoughts in his mind, the book was immediately sent to Wagra City. As for what Cadgar did after that, the book naturally did not record it.
So … when Camilla arrived at the top of the tower, she did not see the three magic circles that Roddy had read from the book. Instead, she only saw a black wall with a line of words written on it: "I don't have much time left …"
Camilla stared blankly at everything in front of her. Her heart felt cold. She had spent so much effort and almost risked her life, but the result was like this. The despair of having all her efforts in vain caused Camilla to suffocate for a moment. She stretched out her hand weakly to support herself against the pitch-black wall. Her dazed gaze swept around, but she did not know what to do next …
But then she felt that the place where her palm touched was a little strange. When she suddenly looked up, Camilla saw that behind the line of words, new words were gradually appearing!
"I don't have much time left. In order to destroy Turing, this is the last aid that I have left behind."
"No matter who you are, when I see these words, I can confirm that you are here to open the three magic circles, and at the same time, to destroy Turing."
Seeing this, Camilla immediately heaved a sigh of relief. But the pain in her abdomen made her mouth twitch. She reached out to press on the wound and continued to read —
"Destroying Turing is not the end, but the beginning. So, in order to thank you for helping me destroy Turing, I … Cadgar Ishmil, bestow upon you this final blessing …"
All the words and the black wall suddenly disappeared. Camilla only felt that her palm that had just touched the wall was enveloped by a warm current, and then her whole body instantly changed due to some kind of energy!
The wound did not disappear, but the original pain was suppressed to a minimum. Her depleted magic power did not recover, but Camilla felt that her "magic power pool" had disappeared, as if she had returned to being a mortal who knew nothing.
"This …"
She tried to gather the elements, but found that a dazzling light appeared on her fingertips almost instantaneously. The speed of gathering the elements was much faster than before, and the energy was purer!
Although Camilla had no idea what had happened, she understood that the "blessing" she had received should have been given to Roddy … because he was the one who had come to destroy Turing, and she was just a temporary participant.
However, she did not have the time to figure out the difference. She took a step forward and immediately recognized the three formations that Roddy had mentioned. She immediately rushed over.
*****
Boom!
The ghostly green light exploded on the bridge. The High Elves who had been rushing over were instantly sent flying. Their bodies burned with green flames as they fell into the abyss like meteors.
This was not a skill cast by the Necromancer in the distance. It was the effect of the "Nether Explosion" scroll that Akasha had just torn open. Although this group of spells was not weak, it was still a bit difficult to deal with the endless number of High Elves. At this moment, the soldiers in front of the bridge could not hold on any longer.
The reserve team had already taken turns to attack five or six times. Now, all the soldiers had reached the limit of their physical strength. Although the High Elves' attacks were not very powerful, 40 to 50 people still could not stop the continuous attack in front of them. Some soldiers had already fallen on the line because they had been separated from the others. Under these circumstances, once they fell, there was no chance of survival.
Akasha's Mana was almost exhausted. She had also drunk all the Mana Potions. At this moment, her eyes were bloodshot and her face was pale. She had also thrown out most of the scrolls in her hands. However, at this time, no one cared about the fact that Akasha could cast necromancy spells. This was because throughout the entire battle, no one had turned around to look at who had cast the spell!
Sodelor, who was at the North Suspension Bridge, was covered in wounds. The healing abilities of the two priests were not as good as Akasha's, not to mention the support of other spells. As a result, the soldiers at the North Suspension Bridge were under more pressure.
However, Sodelor, who was holding a battle shield, stood at the very front, attracting most of the attacks and maintaining the stability of the battle line. But as his "Battle Aura" was consumed, he gradually couldn't resist, and his footsteps began to stagger.
Everyone understood that once Sodelor fell, it wouldn't be long before this place was completely lost.
"Reserve team! Rotate! "
The teammates around her panted heavily. Their bodies were covered in stinking black and red blood. The hilts of their swords were slippery, and the web between their thumb and forefinger was torn. They struggled to hold on, but they did not know when this battle would end.
Akasha held the last scroll in her hand and stared at the enemies that were still charging at her. Her emotions were almost numb.
"How … how much longer do we have to fight?"
Hum —
Just as she said this, the Pasha Magic Tower behind her suddenly let out a loud hum. Then, all the High Elves on the drawbridge, outside the fortress, and even all the surrounding High Elves suddenly stopped moving like puppets. Then, they fell stiffly to the ground!
It felt as if a lid had been placed on their ears. The roars and shouts of the tens of thousands of people that had been besieged stopped abruptly. In the blink of an eye, the only sound left was the panting of the soldiers and their comrades in front of them.
"This —"
The frontline soldiers were still holding up their shields, but the howling High Elves were now lying flat on the ground in front of them. After a few slashes, Sodelor realized that the High Elves were … dead?
No one could imagine the scene now. The ground around the moat was practically piled up with High Elf corpses. From near to far, they could not even see the ground!
And it was also at this time that the gradually dissipating "Skeletal Fortress" and the still surviving undead became another group of beneficiaries of this "miracle" …
The bone wall gradually disappeared. The three surviving Necromancers turned their gazes to the suspension bridge. Looking at the corpses all around them, they tried to cast a spell.
A moment later, a High Elf actually slowly stood up under the effect of a necromancy spell.
The success of the Necromancy Transformation spell made the three Necromancers ecstatic. This meant that they could immediately create a group of fearless soldiers to continue attacking the Pasha suspension bridge!
This scene also chilled the hearts of the human soldiers who had been guarding the bridge for a long time.
But just as the three were about to cast a spell and create a large army of zombies, a spell wave instantly spread out and froze them in place.
"This is … this is …"
"Army of the Dead?!"
With the casting of [Summon: Undead Legion] scroll in Akasha's hand, the "Summoning of the Door" staff's effect of strengthening "Summon" by level 1 immediately took effect, immediately maximizing the power of this spell.
At this moment, Akasha was actually extremely conflicted. No matter what, the transformation spell was still "desecrating" the bodies of the dead.
But it was too late to say anything now. As the scroll with the highest level, the Summoning: Army of the Dead emanated a huge Mana wave that made everyone's heart palpitate. Then, the first High Elf stood up on the suspension bridge, followed by the second, the third …
Because the corpses were so dense, the number of High Elves that Akasha had transformed instantly exceeded 1,500. After getting up, they did not wobble like the zombies summoned by the Necromancers. Instead, they nimbly turned around and rushed into the distance!
The three Necromancers looked at the High Elf they had just transformed with a dull expression and movement, then at the countless figures that had already surrounded them. They wanted to say "retreat" but did not dare to say it because Belom was still in the tower. They could only shout in a voice that sounded like crying, "Prepare … prepare to fight!"
But the outcome was already foreseeable when 70 to 80 people fought against the Army of the Dead.
The offensive and defensive situation between the undead and the humans was instantly reversed. The reason was all because of the change in the Pasha Magic Tower. After Akasha ordered the Army of the Dead to attack the undead, she immediately turned around and prepared to rush into the Magic Tower. But when she came to the door, she found that the door could not be opened at all.
Because the entire Magic Tower seemed to be sealed by an unusually powerful barrier.
*****
"How is this possible!?"
Turing, who had been attacking Belom in a frenzy, suddenly roared in anger. He immediately stopped casting the arcane spell in his hands and turned to look around in shock. In a tone of disbelief, he said to himself, "Karthika is dead! How can it be activated?! "
Turing took a few steps back and looked around. Originally, he could not believe what had happened in front of him. But now, feeling the rapid loss of power in his body, he had no choice but to believe — someone really had activated the "Time Stop Barrier" that enveloped the entire tower!
700 years later, Turing once again felt the pain of being deprived of power by the "Time Stop Barrier".
At this moment, the already dead Karthika was no different from a new nightmare. To Turing, only the "Time Stop Barrier" could completely cut off his power from the outside world.
The "Time Stop Barrier" could not really "stop" time. Strictly speaking, it only slowed down the flow of time inside the barrier.
Such a barrier consumed a lot of energy. Turing understood that the little bit of energy he had just recovered and his own strength would not be enough for a second time!
So, the first thing he wanted to do was to go to the top floor of the Magic Tower and close the barrier. But before he could go out, Belom blocked his way with his longsword.
"Ka ka!"
The last two runes on the blade of the sword exploded one after another. At the cost of a 30% decrease in power in the future, Belom actually strengthened his magic power to an unprecedented level — he was truly enraged by Turing.
"Die!"
The entire secret room was enveloped by this incomparably harsh frost aura. Belom's power had almost doubled. Roddy, who was lying in the ruins, slowly moved his gaze away from the [Mission Panel]. The countdown for [Judgment of the Bone Throne] had dropped from 98 days to 96 days in ten seconds …
