These explosions blasted a large pit of three to four meters deep on the surface of the ancient sea beast's body. Although it looked shocking, it did not actually "hurt" its muscles and bones. However, the mages at the top of the tower did not think of killing the enemy in one shot. Seeing that this move was effective, they gathered their magic power again and prepared for a second attack …
But because of the distance, they did not notice that at this moment, many of the "subsidiary bodies" scattered all over the city were already running in the direction of the "mother body".
Ignoring the terrain, they jumped over the dock, stepped on the corpses of the murlocs and humans, and jumped into the sea. Then, they quickly swam to the bottom of the "mother body" and directly drilled into the gaps of the countless tentacles …
In the process of swimming upstream, they quickly found the holes hidden at the end of the tentacles. For the "subsidiary bodies", this was their "nest". After successfully drilling into the holes of the flesh, these monsters with various kinds of Magic crystal in their bodies were squeezed by the sticky flesh all the way, and were quickly "sucked" into the abdomen of the mother body by a suction force.
After that, the "subsidiary bodies" spat out the things they had swallowed before like chewing cud, directly pouring them into a deep hole in the body of the "mother body".
At this time, the quality of the Magic crystal they had collected was mostly not good, but as hundreds of "subsidiary bodies" continued to spit out Magic crystal of all sizes, soon there were thousands of pieces, including the corpses of Miranda and Jill that had been swallowed by the "subsidiary bodies", as well as various kinds of magic tools that contained magical fluctuations, and even damaged puppet cores and animal skins and bones that they had stolen from the shops. These things quickly piled up into a small hill …
Below this "deep hole" was the digestive organ of the "mother body". As the "crunching" sound of chewing continued to be heard, the surface of the body faintly emitted obscure light patterns. And the blackened wounds from the bombardment also quickly healed with the fluctuations of these light patterns.
The flesh on the surface of the entire body of the giant beast began to change in large patches. The previously dark brown skin slowly turned dark red.
This change was announced in less than a minute or two. But the mages casting spells in the distance did not realize this. Seeing that the previous attack was effective, they had already condensed a second "Giant Flame Burst" and imitated the previous attack pattern, directly smashing the bright fireball over.
This time, the fireball was split into six, obviously to increase the damage of each fireball. The giant beast raised its tentacles again and barely managed to block three of the tentacles. The remaining three exploded with a loud boom and the sound was even more obvious than before. However, when the smoke dissipated, the mages suddenly realized that apart from being charred black, there was not even a dent on the opponent's body!
"Fire-resistant skin …"
The Magisters at the top of the tower immediately cast a detection spell and made a deduction. This scene stunned the mages. It was the first time they had heard of a magical beast that could change its body so quickly like a chameleon. Moreover, it could also produce a strong resistance to spell attacks …
While they were looking at each other, rings of light appeared on the surface of the giant beast in the distance. These rings of light moved to the top of the giant beast's body one after another. It looked exactly the same as when the magic tower used the "energy light balls" to bombard the giant beast!
"Quick! Prepare to defend! "
President Jeremy shouted immediately. In fact, even without his reminder, the mages had also felt the sudden elemental fluctuations in the distance. In the next moment, a hole suddenly split open in the center of the giant beast's body, and with a "bang", a giant flesh tumor with a dark red halo shot out!
Compared to the magic tower's energy attack, this attack was more of a physical one. This was because the trajectory of this flesh ball was completely like a catapult's parabola. However, what made everyone's hair stand on end was that the landing point of the "meatball" was unbiased and was heading straight for the top of the magic tower!
In the process of flying for 20 to 30 seconds, the Magic Tower quickly opened all its defensive enchantments. At the same time, the mages used all their strength to condense a conical shield … Just as the shield was formed, the flesh ball smashed into the shield with a "bang". In the midst of the flashing light, it instantly pierced through the hemispherical shield, and then fiercely crashed into the magisters' shield!
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the flesh ball shattered into countless pieces of flesh on the shield, and like rain, they scattered around the Magic Tower. The mages were sweating profusely, but when they saw that the shield they maintained with all their strength did not shatter in the end, they were greatly relieved.
But when they looked to their left and right, they found that the pieces of flesh that fell to the ground actually started to burn, either igniting the buildings or burning the soldiers who were careless. In an instant, the Magic Tower became a sea of fire, like a hell on earth.
"What should we do …"
"Not only is this thing's defense terrifying, it can even counterattack?!"
"Continue to fight! Even if we die, we have to blow it up! "
"Can you guarantee that you can break through its protection like the first time?"
The mages were a little flustered. They did not expect the enemy to be able to counterattack from a few kilometers away, and at the same time, easily resist the collective spells of nearly 30 mages. If the enemy threw a few more flesh balls, no one could say for sure whether the Colomier Magic Tower would be destroyed!
Fortunately, the "mother" in the distance did not seem to have any intention of continuing to attack. After throwing the flesh ball, it returned to its previous calm state, but the mages could all feel that … the magic waves emitted by the enemy were much stronger than before.
"It is … growing?"
"We must stop it!"
"Stop my ass! Our army has already been defeated!"
A councilor cursed, but then his tone changed. He pointed below the Magic Tower and said, "Whose army is that? They are building a defensive line! "
Hearing this, President Jeremy was the first to look down from the top of the tower. He saw that there was a team below using magic to extinguish the flames around them. At the same time, the soldiers in shiny silver armor actually boldly formed a line of defense, easily crushing all the murlocs that tried to rush over, and continuously taking in the troops that fled from the port.
Because the Magic Tower's magic circle was being repaired, the fire covering the ground had been interrupted for half an hour. Without the protection of magic, it was difficult for the fleeing soldiers to regroup. But now, this team that suddenly appeared out of nowhere easily reversed the situation, at least partially stabilizing the defensive line. The mages on the top of the tower could not help but feel a little relieved, but when they looked up into the distance, their joy immediately disappeared.
President Jeremy stared at the giant beast that seemed to have fallen silent, his eyes also a little blank. What should we do next?
*****
The battle below Colomier was far more intense than the top of the tower.
The mutated Murlocs were taller than ordinary people, but when they ran and charged, they always hunched their bodies. Therefore, when fighting face-to-face, Irwin and the others had an obvious "height advantage". Fighting from a height was more efficient and efficient, because the sharp claws and teeth of the Murlocs were useless against the magic armor of the best quality. These barbarian soldiers had super strong stamina and strength. When dealing with the disorganized Murlocs who only knew how to run around blindly, it was like fighting a dumb roe deer in the woods. Just one slash on the head and it was over.
When encountering a group of enemies that rushed over, Sylvia and Merinsera's fireballs would blow the unlucky ones up into the sky in advance. Hence, in just a few short minutes, more than four hundred murlocs were harvested. At the same time, more than two hundred fleeing soldiers and eighteen exhausted and exhausted mages were also taken in.
However, this was not Rody's so-called 'method to deal with the ancient sea beast'. At that moment, he was standing at the back of the team and could not help but look at the Magic Tower anxiously. If they did not have the support of the sorcerers from the Magic Tower, they would not even be able to think about dealing with that big guy in the distance. What frustrated him the most was that the Magic Tower had attacked twice and was almost flattened by the gigantic beast. Obviously, Houdini did not succeed.
If this continues, there will be no other way …
Roddy frowned. He was about to call Merinsera and force them to the top of the tower to negotiate with the giant beast, but at this moment, Naifei suddenly said, "That thing's color is changing. What's going on?"
"Outside or inside?"
Roddy knew Naifei's ability, so he immediately asked. Naifei stared at it for a few seconds and said, "The inside is like a hodgepodge with all kinds of colors, but the outside is all dark red, and it's getting brighter and brighter …"
"It's evolving!" Roddy said with certainty, "If we can't kill it in one attack, it will become stronger and more difficult to deal with. So we have to get rid of it as soon as possible, or else it will really become invincible! "
He didn't want to wait any longer. He turned around and was about to find Houdini, but he happened to see the enraged Great Mage being chased out of the tower by a team of Mages.
Roddy stepped forward and was about to ask Houdini, but he saw Houdini yelling at the Mages, "Go to hell!" Then he turned around and rushed to the front of the Magic Tower. He pointed his wand at the sky and cast the "Tracing Spell", a bright and complicated rune in the sky.
According to the original process of casting the spell, the rune would show the current position of the target in the sky after the spell was cast. However, Houdini stopped the spell halfway and waved his wand to reassemble the white rune in the sky, which had not yet dissipated, into a few words that appeared one after another.
"Roddy, the messenger of the Kingdom of Karen."
"Know how to deal with such an enemy."
"Bottom of the tower."
"Houdini."
Because the "Tracing Spell" could only be used 300 meters above the ground, everyone on the top of the tower could clearly see the words just now. However, these sorcerers all frowned. The monster in front of them was so powerful that they had never heard of it before. Had the Kingdom of Karen dealt with it before?
The most powerful sorcerers obviously snorted at these words. They immediately said, "I know the Kingdom of Karen's construction puppets are very advanced, but it doesn't mean they are stronger than us. Jeremy, adjust the magic circle and prepare for the third attack. "
"Wait."
Jeremy looked at the last line of words that was gradually disappearing. Countless images flashed through his mind — the cobalt ore on the "Fire Bolt", the "Charged Crystal" displayed in front of everyone at the auction house, the back view of Roddy in the arena, and the two papers that he was still reading in the afternoon.
Marine Mutation Research.
He was still wondering why Roddy could suddenly produce such detailed experimental data. When he saw Houdini's handwriting, everything suddenly became clear. The Kingdom of Karen where Roddy was from had probably faced a similar situation. Otherwise, he would not have been able to write such an interesting paper in such a short time.
The clues, speculations, and facts matched up one by one. Jeremy no longer hesitated. He turned around and said, "Be ready to defend at any time." Then he directly cast the "Levitation Spell" and jumped down from the top of the tower.
The other councilors and sorcerers looked at each other. Most of them were surprised that Jeremy actually believed Houdini. But Councilor Lotica, who was standing in the corner, narrowed his eyes.
As the person who had personally ordered people to get rid of Roddy, he had never expected to see the name "Roddy" on such an occasion. What was even more unbelievable was that Houdini could actually get Jeremy to personally go and talk to him.
Compared to his fear of Jeremy's identity as a speaker, Lotica was more worried about the solution to the crisis in front of him. What if Jeremy really listened to Roddy and really got rid of the ancient behemoth in front of him?
At that time, the name "Roddy" would be shrouded in a layer of light. It could even be said that he would have a "death-exemption card" in Lassiman. He would be able to do whatever he wanted!
No matter what, Lotica did not want such a thing to become a reality. So, after a brief consideration, he immediately pretended to be exhausted and walked down from the top of the tower with a pale face, saying that he needed "deep meditation" to recover.
The spell just now had indeed consumed a lot of energy. Although Lotica had the strength of a sorcerer, he was not a "battlemage." So, his departure did not attract the attention of the surrounding mages. After all, everyone's attention was mainly focused on the giant beast in the distance.
*****
As time passed, the murlocs who had rushed ashore had completely invaded the city of Duriel.
The capital of Lassiman did not have a very classical "inner and outer city wall" design like the Kingdom of Karen. Because of the mages' superstition about power, the city only had a circle of city walls on the northern part of the land. Because there were many cliffs on the side of the sea, the only entrance to the city was the port. So, there was no need to waste resources on building a city wall.
But no one had thought that this city would be "visited" by a guy who reached up to 200 meters tall, and this guy had brought more than 20,000 murlocs and more than 3,000 "children" to attack the city …
So, an hour after they rushed into the city, the murlocs finally began to pour in in front of the "Colomier" Magic Tower in large numbers.
"Stop them! Make sure to drag the wounded to the rear! "
"We need reinforcements here!"
"Cover with spells — remember to protect yourself!"
