If Wizard Hiri was only afraid, Qiu Lisha was on the brink of despair!
Although she and Mangles had advanced to rank 4 by combining their strength, there was still a huge flaw.
So far, other than when they transformed, they were considered to be grade 4 wizards. For the rest of the time, they were only in a transitional state between grade 3 and grade 4.
If they encountered a rank 3 wizard, they could rely on their two-headed transformation to suppress their opponent. However, if they encountered a real rank 4 wizard, they would be as weak as a pile of rotten meat after the short transformation period.
Moreover, their biggest problem now was that … their defense was not strong enough!
Whether it was physique or magic resistance, they were far weaker than normal rank 4 wizards. Plus, they did not have any powerful defensive spells, which made their bodies especially weak.
Not to mention fighting a Tier-4 creature, just the shockwave from Grimm's long-range rescue was enough to break through their physical defenses and cause 'accidental injuries'. That alone was enough to prove their strength.
With Qiu Lisha and Mangles's combined defense, they could barely resist the elemental damage below 1200 degrees. If it was beyond that, they could only take it head-on.
However, Grimm's physique was as high as 31 points, so he could withstand the next attack and only suffered a small injury. Qiu Lisha and the others only had 26 points of physique. With this kind of physique and magic resistance, if they were hit by Evil Hoof, they would probably suffer serious injuries.
Therefore, after seeing the battle escalate, even if she was unwilling, Qiu Lisha could only summon her brother's soul. The two completed their transformation and expanded into that ferocious two-headed wizard.
Facing the menacing rank 4 Lesser Disaster Lord, Grimm, Hiri, and Qiu Lisha simultaneously took out their strongest forms and began to fight seriously.
They had to admit that Evil Hoof's elemental control and coordination far surpassed them.
Wizards were more like a group of elemental manipulators.
Although they used various innate abilities and elemental affinity to link themselves with the elements, they could control the elemental energy as if they were their own arms. However, wizards were still wizards, and elements were still elements. The two were not completely equal.
Xie Hoof, on the other hand, was completely different. He seemed to have fused deeply with the earth element.
Looking at how it launched its attack, it didn't need any spells or hand gestures to guide it at all. It could do whatever it wanted with just a thought. Hence, it could often use a simple earth elemental spell to block or dissolve Grimm's powerful fire spells.
Moreover, it was extremely adept at turning mud to stone, turning stone to mud, and using the petrification ray.
It was like a real Earth Elemental creature, able to move freely underground and control the Earth Elemental to attack its enemies in various forms.
And it was this strange ability that caused Grim a lot of trouble!
The Evil Hoof seemed to think that he was the strongest among the three wizards, and most of the attacks were reserved for Grim.
Using the Earth Traversal ability, it could use mud and rocks to block Grimm's counterattack. After which, they would continuously emerge from the soil around Grimm, using Earth Spears, Earth Shatter and other earth type skills to deal with him.
Whenever Grimm showed an opening, the Evil Hoof's strange eye would shoot out a terrifying petrification ray.
This petrification ray had the strange effect of ignoring physical defense. Even Grimm had to be careful when dealing with it, or his body would be damaged and the petrification force would invade his body.
On the other hand, Grimm's large area of effect burning made Xie Hoof very wary.
He wasn't worried about the burning effect of the soul-corroding flames, but worried that his opponent would lock onto his position.
In the battle just now, he had secretly tried out the power of his opponent's elemental fire.
Terrifying … very terrifying!
A Lesser Fire Wizard who had just advanced to Grade 4 and had yet to completely stabilize his mental power could actually feel such pain when the fireballs hit him. This … was completely out of Xie Hoof's expectations!
For powerful creatures like them that roamed the depths of the galaxy, elemental resistance was a necessary skill for them to survive.
Even with Xie Hoof's magic-resistant skin and extraordinary physique, he was still being burned by a Lesser Fire Wizard's fireball. This meant that his opponent's fireball spell was mixed with something strange.
The only thing that could pose such a threat to a Grade 4 Lesser Disaster Lord like it was the power of the laws!
A newly advanced Grade 4 Fire Wizard who had grasped part of the Law of Fire …
After putting this label on Grimm, Xie Hoof was extra careful when fighting him.
Among the three human sorcerers, the two-headed sorcerer was simply useless. He would have a hard time dealing with the attacks of the mutated beasts, let alone fighting a Grade 4 Wizard. As for the human Wizard hiding in the strange armor, although his attack power was not as terrifying as the Fire Wizard's, it was still a little troublesome to deal with.
His strange starlight spell had the power to destroy the structure of spells.
Any spell that got close to him would be destroyed by the starlight, turning into a chaotic torrent of elemental energy and losing half of its offensive power. The strange armor on his body was also quite effective in defending against physical attacks.
Therefore, Xie Hoof estimated that if he wanted to kill the Wizard in armor, he would have to use up to 50% of his power. If he wanted to kill the Fire Wizard, he would need at least 80% of his power, and he would have to bear the brunt of the Fire Wizard's retaliation.
As for the two-headed Wizard, 20% of his power would be enough to deal with him!
Therefore, as he fought, Xie Hoof quickly evaluated the situation.
He had to admit that even with the help of the mutated beast army, it was still difficult for him to kill the three Wizards in front of him. If he continued fighting like this, the gains would be completely disproportionate to the losses he had to pay.
Therefore, after attacking wildly for a while, Xie Hoof returned to the top of the hill in the distance with a sway of his body. Under the command of its strange howl, the mutant beasts also stopped attacking and retreated to the small hill, gathering into a black mass.
"Human Wizard, I, Lord Xie Hoof, have acknowledged your strength. If we continue fighting like this, our strength will be wasted for nothing … But how about this, let's work together! " Xie Hoof stood on the top of the hill, his mouth that looked like a blossoming rose petals flapping slowly, using his spiritual force to simulate a strange whistle.
Work together?
The three Sorcerers, who were more or less injured, looked at each other, clearly not understanding what was going on.
Grimm shook his huge body and slowly took two steps forward. He stared at Xie Hoof and yelled, "What do you mean by work together, sir?"
Wizard Hiri and the two-headed Wizard also slowly retreated to Grimm's side, forming a new formation.
However, the three Wizards' power was too exclusive, and they could not completely trust each other. Therefore, they kept a safe distance of one to two hundred meters between each other, not daring to enter another Wizard's area of influence.
This was also the norm among high-ranking Wizards, so it was not surprising.
"Since you're here, you're probably here for the floating city, right?" Xie Hoof continued to negotiate.
Grimm and the other two Wizards looked at each other. Hiri and the two-headed Wizard did not say anything, showing that they were completely following Grimm's orders.
Regarding this, there was actually nothing to keep secret.
After all, in this dangerous moment, a few Wizards from another world sneaked into Morian Plane and quietly came to the floating city of Auspicious View Garden. It would be an insult to the other party's intelligence to say that they did not have any ulterior motives.
After seeing Grimm's incarnation of a tall man nodding silently, Xie Hoof's opened mouth vibrated even more violently.
"Since we both have the same goal, and we can't kill each other, then … let's work together!" Xie Hoof's ugly mouth pointed at Grimm, "What I need are the lives and souls of the people in the floating city. You don't need these things, do you?"
"What I need is the high-ranking knowledge and rare resources of the Arcane Kingdom stored in it. If you don't mind, I'm also interested in the energy core … "Grimm pondered for a moment, then stated his needs.
Xie Hoof did not show any objection or dissatisfaction.
"I want the secrets of the Arcane Kingdom's high-ranking arcane puppets …" Wizard Hiri also carefully stated his needs.
Originally, he wanted a lot of things, but on such an occasion, it was obviously very irrational to offend the Little Disaster Lord by asking for too much. And in such a cooperation, everyone's gains were directly related to their own strength.
In the battle just now, he did not show his strength that the other party was afraid of, so naturally, he could not ask for more.
"I want it too …" The two-headed Wizard was overjoyed when he saw this. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say his needs, a cold and terrifying mental force wrapped around his body, so he could only shut his mouth.
Xie Hoof obviously did not care about his or her strength. He was only allowed to join the team purely for the sake of the other two Wizards.
Therefore, a bonus like him or her naturally did not have the right to ask for anything.
Anyway, the floating city was so big, it would be enough to just give him or her some leftover materials.
After all, in the eyes of a disaster creature like Xie Hoof, everything was determined by strength.
Without strength, one could only wait to become someone else's prey!
"Looks like there's still room for cooperation … That floating city isn't that easy to deal with, there's still a Grand Arcanist left on it. Why don't we work together to kill him? His body and soul belong to me, and the rest of the equipment belongs to you. What do you think? " Although Xie Hoof's proposal was a little overbearing and decisive, it still attracted the interest of Grimm and the others.
A Grand Arcanist?
The mission information given by the A Team didn't mention this … Was it an oversight or intentional?
