Bati was so focused on carving the patterns that he didn't realize that there was a big difference between a large magic circle and a small one. Carving a magic circle wasn't something that could be learned with practice. Otherwise, there would be formation masters all over the world. In order to complete a high-level magic circle, one must first have a deep understanding of the spell to be cast.
Although a master like Bati who had "learned quickly" was not weak, his understanding of magic was probably not as good as the apprentices in the Mage Tower.
However, power always gave people blind confidence. He carved faster and faster. In less than an hour, he had moved all the patterns on the book onto the magic circle.
Although the night was cold, Bati felt himself sweating. He carefully held the book and checked the details. Finally, when he felt that there were no problems, he put the thick book aside.
However, he didn't notice that there were a few drops of black blood on the edge of the page where the magic circle was.
Barty's mind was filled with thoughts of revenge, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to move all the magic crystals over. There were more than 600 magic crystals found in the ruins, and every single one of them was of extremely high quality. These things were rare even in the High Elf era. However, most of the Wood Elves had no concept of them. They casually threw the Magic crystal there like stones. Bati didn't bother to say anything. He began to put the Magic crystal into the magic circle according to its compatibility.
Ten minutes later, he finally finished all the preparations. After waking up the 12 strongest Wood Elves in each village, he brought them to the front of the magic circle. Picking up a dagger, he made a cut on his and the Wood Elves' arms, letting the flowing blood soak the edge of the magic circle …
The blood would decide the target of the magic circle. When the blood of 13 Wood Elves mixed together, the bloodline connection was enough to cover all the Wood Elves near Galinis Village.
"Let's start …"
He stood in the center of the magic circle and slowly activated it with his mind. At this moment, Bati suddenly felt a little dazed. He felt as if some uncontrollable emotions had appeared in his mind.
Bati shuddered, and his brain snapped back to reality. He now realized the danger of his actions. If anything happened to the SLR array, not only would he be affected, but all the Wood Elves would be affected as well.
He abruptly looked to his side. Elements in the form of fog had already appeared at the edge of the magic circle. Bati hurriedly stopped the guidance of his spiritual power and attempted to stop it. But in the next moment, he discovered that the scenery in front of him had suddenly turned dark red.
The angry and agitated emotions seemed to have been filled by someone. Bati, who was originally breathing steadily, began to pant heavily. He wanted to suppress it, but it was futile. At this time, Bati clearly realized that he seemed to have missed something, but it was too late.
The dazzling light engulfed everything …

When Pan Da opened his eyes, his surroundings were still dark.
"Lord Priestess! You're finally awake! "
Hearing Dewitt's voice, Pan Da realized that he was still alive. The cold wind made his cheeks a little numb, but he could feel that his head and body were tightly wrapped. When his eyes could adapt to the dim light, he found that the team had arrived at a strange clearing in the forest.
"Where are we?"
He sat up and felt a little dizzy. It was similar to the side effect of over-casting. Pan Da had exhausted all his strength in the battle last night. His whole body was sore as if he had been running for a whole night.
"Lord Priestess, we've moved the campsite dozens of meters away."
"Who's in command?"
"Commander Julia's soldiers are still here. She said that we'll go to Ayesha Village at dawn."
Hearing this, Pan Da nodded. The team had suffered heavy losses, and they still didn't know whether the Wood Elves would attack again. The safest way was to go to Ayesha Village, which was guarded by soldiers. Although his identity was sensitive, Pan Da no longer considered himself an arcanist. As a priest of the "Moon God Clan", no one would doubt his identity.
At this time, another priest handed a few roasted meat skewers to Lucien. "Commander Julia said that we need to replenish our strength as soon as possible."
Pan Da was surprised by the strength and calmness of this mercenary group. He looked into the distance and asked, "What are they doing?"
"They seem to be studying the bodies of the Wood Elves. The Wood Elves all turned into mummies after they died. I don't know what's going on …"
The priest continued to ask, "Should we call them?"
"Not yet. Let's rest first."
He looked at the sky. The moon was still in his sight. He whispered a few lines of prayer and opened his mouth to eat the meat skewers. But as soon as he took a bite, he remembered that the Moon God Clan was vegetarian. However, mercenaries didn't care about meat and vegetables when they went out. In order to replenish their calories, they would even eat raw animal fat. Helplessly, he whispered a few words of repentance and continued to put the meat skewers into his mouth.
This priest had completely used the teachings of the Moon God Clan to regulate himself.
On the other side, Roddy and the others had already checked the bodies of the 12 Wood Elves. As expected, they found 12 condensed Magic Crystal.
"I thought something was wrong. Because their aura is very similar to that of the demons."
Roddy's hands were full of blood-stained crystals. He whispered, "There are all kinds of creatures in the Demonic Plane. Among those who invaded the High Elves, any commander with a bit of strength would have something like a Magic Crystal. Later, the High Elves recorded that to deal with such characters, one must dig out the Magic Crystal to kill them. "
Iskar nodded. "Indeed, there is such a thing. I also remember seeing it. But … the aura that these Wood Elves give off is still different from that of the demons. And these Wood Elves don't have demonic blood like Teflin. They also don't look like they were infected by the Infected Beasts. They seem to still be rational. "
"Now we should suspect the High Elves, not the Wood Elves." Kardashian pointed at the collapsed mountain in the distance. "They probably stole something from the ruins and became like this."
"But I don't remember anything like this in the history of the High Elves."
Rubens scratched his head. As they were talking, a strange wave of green light suddenly cut across the sky.
The dragons who were discussing around the corpse immediately stood up. The green curtain of light above their heads that was sweeping outwards like a wave was too strange. What made their hearts palpitate the most was the familiar, sulfur-like smell.
"It's really a demon?!"
