Without waiting for fear to spread among the troops, a blood-curdling scream suddenly rang out from the crowd of murlocs. A blue-gilled murloc who was charging at the front was about to pounce on a soldier who was holding a battle shield. However, his leg was grabbed by a sharp claw that came from below. Before he could react, his entire body was dragged to the ground. An intense pain assaulted him. He turned his head and saw one of his kind opening his mouth that was filled with sharp teeth and biting towards him …
"Puchi!"
A similar situation happened around the battle line at the same time. The soldiers who were bracing themselves to resist suddenly felt that the densely packed murloc in front of them seemed to have suddenly reduced in number. When they came to their senses, they found that there were only a few murloc rushing to the front of the battle line …
Looking ahead, hundreds of "Resurrected Murloc" dragged their bodies covered in blood, and actually blocked those of their own kind who were rushing at them!
Akasha did not simply cast "Arcane Light: Recovery" and then turned around and left. She then raised the bone staff, and a pale gray light suddenly bloomed. The wounds of those "Resurrected Murloc" began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. In terms of the degree of recovery, it had already far exceeded the recovery effect of Akasha's "Powerful Healing" on ordinary people.
The most exaggerated thing was that those "Resurrected Murloc" whose bones were shattered, and even whose heads were smashed out of shape, almost recovered under the effect of this wave of healing. They yelled and pounced on those of their "kind" who had a confused look on their faces.
After being demonized, the only distinguishing ability of the "murloc" who had lost their minds was "not to attack their own kind". They could not distinguish whether the "same kind" in front of them was an undead creature or a demon, so most of them were caught off guard and had their throats ripped open by a claw. When they fell to the ground with blood spurting out of their mouths, their huge eyes were filled with deep confusion …
Seeing that the battle line was under control, Akasha turned around and ran to another battle line. After the skill's cooldown, she cast "Arcane Light: Recovery" again, and more than three hundred murloc joined the battlefield. After repeatedly healing and summoning for three times, Akasha suddenly drank a bottle of potion. When she turned around and scanned the battlefield, she saw that many people were frozen in the battle line like statues. They were panting heavily and looking at each other, as if they could not accept this fact.
"What are you waiting for? Quick, rotate and rest! "
It was not until they heard Roddy's shout that they gradually recovered from the shock. After casting the spell three times, nearly eight hundred murlocs stood up and joined the battle line, almost immediately giving the exhausted soldiers a chance to take a breather. Although these "resurrected murlocs" weren't wearing any armor, they were able to easily block the other murlocs that were charging at them since they weren't being attacked. Their lethality was far beyond imagination. They were even more efficient than the mages who kept casting spells.
However, Roddy was not interested in being amazed like the others. At this time, he was directing the magic apprentices who were continuously moving boxes out of the Magic Tower. As the core of Lassiman, the 'Colummir' Magic Tower contained an astonishing amount of Magic Crystal. Therefore, a large number of crystals of various sizes could be moved out in a short period of time.
"Why should we listen to him? Who knows if what that guy said is true or not? "
"But the problem now is that we don't have a solution, and his solution sounds the most likely one."
The white-haired archmage argued with Jeremy from the top of the tower to the bottom. Like him, there were a few other mages who were skeptical of Jeremy's decision. However, the other archmages who had followed them all the way down were obviously on Jeremy's side. The two groups of mages had different opinions. When they reached the bottom of the tower, they collectively surrounded Roddy.
Roddy didn't have time to talk nonsense with them. He just continued to say to Jeremy, "Do as I said. Magic crystal should be sealed and connected together! Make this kind of sphere — "
As he spoke, he pointed at Merinsera who had already finished modifying the magic circle brought from Eiffta. Then, she used a spell to "glue" the large pile of Magic crystal in the wooden box together, forming a sparkling sphere the size of a soccer ball. Then, she sealed it with a "Protection Barrier".
"What … does this mean?"
The archmages were a little dazed. At the side, Jeremy explained, "The solution that Envoy Roddy provided us is to break through the enemy from within —"
"You want to blow it up? Magic crystal stacked together can't possibly explode. "
The group of archmages all had professional sensitivity. Once the "solution" was mentioned, they ignored Roddy and collectively surrounded Jeremy. "How do we send it in? How do we break through it? "
"Those monsters with tentacles are collecting energy. They are continuously sending similar energy bodies back to the 'parent' body. That's why that monster is continuously becoming stronger —"
"It can directly absorb energy to strengthen itself? The strategy of attacking the top of the tower just now proves that it has high intelligence … What kind of monster is this? It's too shocking! If only we could estimate its conversion rate … "
"Britz, now is not the time to discuss academics!"
The other two mages hurriedly stopped this mage who was in high spirits from asking questions. This was because once he started talking, he was completely oblivious to everything around him. It was as if he had forgotten that there were giant beasts in the distance that were ready to continue bombarding them at any time.
Jeremy quickly continued, "Envoy Roddy plans to seal a large number of Magic crystal and let those monsters bring it into the 'parent' body. When it starts to convert energy, he will activate the 'Air Expansion' magic circle that he prepared. This magic circle will initially consume the crystal energy it carries, but after it expands to a certain range, it will produce a 'critical chain effect' with other Magic crystal in the same area …"
"You mean, deliberately let the magic circle go out of control and cause an 'Elemental Storm'?"
The mages looked at each other and immediately realized that this was feasible. This was because it involved several basic theories that had been proven, such as the 'Elemental Linkage Effect', 'Point Mass Expansion Theory', and so on. However, this was only 'feasible' in theory, and there were many difficulties in actual practice.
"The initial 'Air Expansion' magic circle has to reach the critical threshold within ten seconds. This is very difficult to achieve!"
"It's not difficult to achieve." Jeremy pointed at the densely packed 'Charged Crystals' on the stone slab of the magic circle and said in a low voice, "This is not an ordinary Magic crystal. It may only take a second to reach the critical point at full power."
Noticing this, the mages gulped. They knew the auction price of the 'Charged Crystals', and there were sixty-four of them on the magic circle. It was really driving them crazy.
"How do we activate it? Do we use a countdown? How do we calculate the timing of the activation? "
Jeremy did not have time to ask these questions. Roddy ran over and replied, "I have to control the timing of the activation because the path inside its body is too long. If we do not activate it at the critical point, all our efforts will be in vain!"
He then pointed at the 'Air Expansion' magic circle towards Jeremy. "I need a device that can activate the magic circle from afar, similar to the one used to control the construction puppets."
"I can improve it now. The furthest distance is probably around eight hundred meters." Jeremy estimated the distance and gave a more conservative figure. This meant that the magic circle could only be activated at a distance of eight hundred meters in front of the giant beast. But Roddy immediately agreed. "Then hurry up and modify it, we don't have much time."
The mages around looked at each other, not knowing what to say. This kind of mission sounded like a suicide mission. Even the strongest magus wouldn't think that they would be able to come back alive after running within 800 meters of the gigantic beast. Thinking back to the frightening attack that had directly smashed the top of the tower, who knew if the enemy would have any more powerful attacks?
But then again, this was related to the life and death of Duriel. Even if there was a sacrifice, Rassman should have sent someone to take it. How could a foreign ambassador put himself in danger? Even though many of these mages were 'politicians', and 'self-preservation' had long become their instinct, as the highest level managers of a country, their ideology would not be blurred at a time like this.
Hence, a few mages immediately stood up and objected. "Young man, I think it's hard for you to even rush in and protect yourself. This kind of thing should be done by old bones like us. Just tell us what to do."
"Wail, what are you doing? You think I can't see that you've used up all your magic? Ambassador Roddy, tell me. "
These people were indeed the true pillars of Rassman. Roddy glanced at them and found that they were all above Level 45 mages, and all of them were 'battle mages'. The political and academic mages did not jump out to express their opinions, which made Roddy sigh at the awareness of Rassman's mages. Not everyone had the spirit of sacrifice and dedication, but when it was necessary, those who were qualified would never back down.
"To be honest, I don't want to rush to my death. But the problem now is that my ability allows me to see the internal condition of this monster's body, so I can determine when to activate the magic circle. Respected Magisters, if any of you have this ability, I am willing to give up my position to you. "
Roddy had just activated 'Witcher's Vision' and looked from afar for a while. The pathways in the mother's body were intricate and complicated, and the core chamber was located in a very well-hidden place. If he did not monitor the 'Air Expansion Magic Circle', it would be very difficult to determine its location. Because of this, 'X-ray' was the key to completing the mission. Although Naifei in the team had a similar ability, how could he let Naifei take the risk?
The mages were stunned. Although they were 'battle mages' of different types, 'X-ray' was beyond the requirements of their abilities. Some mages tried to cast spells on the spot, but they quickly shook their heads to show that they could not do anything … Obviously, this mission was not something that could be completed with just strength. And Roddy did not intend to be a hero by himself. He pointed at the monster in the distance and explained, "If you are willing, please try your best to distract the monster when I approach it. Although this monster is strong against large targets, within a range of a thousand meters, it will not pose a threat to an individual. You can rest assured about this. "
