The defensive line had been breached!
Not only did this give the floating city a hole in the defensive line, it also caused the entire battle to go out of control.
Today's battle was not really a battle of attack and defense. The goal of victory was to wipe out the enemy's forces. It was a battle of slaughter.
The mutated beasts that were eager to break through the defensive line were like a pack of hungry wolves. They did not have the time and energy to fight with the shepherd dogs. Once they found a hole in the sheepfold, they would swarm in and vent their ferocity and cruelty on the trembling lambs.
Who were the lambs?
The arcana apprentices that were large in number but did not have enough power to protect themselves!
After breaking through the defensive line, the mutated beasts still had to break through the numerous arcana towers.
If it were a group of slightly more rational attackers, they would have taken out these arcana towers one by one in order to reduce the casualties of the team. However, this group of mutated beasts could not be estimated with common sense.
They did not have the thought of attacking the city or seizing the flag. Their minds were only filled with blood, slaughter, and delicious souls. Therefore, the swarm of mutated beasts swarmed over and paved a path of blood between the narrow and rugged arcana towers, extending all the way to the inner ring of the floating city.
At this point, the mutated beasts were no longer in the mood to fight against the cold and hard arcana towers. Instead, they rushed into the arcana facilities one after another, using their terrifying numbers and powerful individual strength to slaughter and harvest the lives and souls of the middle-rank and low-rank arcanists and apprentices.
Grimm and the other two were not interested in helping the evil hooves to continue fighting. They followed the 'torrent' into the inner ring and began to crazily plunder.
At this time, no one would gather together and affect their time to plunder resources and knowledge.
Therefore, the three wizards naturally split up!
Grimm exited his flame giant form and returned to his human form. Wrapped in a layer of golden flames, his figure became invisible. He leisurely followed the group of mutated beasts, continuing to advance into the inner ring of the floating city.
Along the way, they saw many strangely shaped Arcana facilities, and they could detect the auras of a large number of Arcanists. However, Grimm did not seem to notice them at all. He simply ignored them and headed straight for the tallest arcane palace in the inner ring of the floating city.
Since he had come to this world of arcane magic, it would be a waste for him to risk his life a few times if he did not search for some necessary knowledge and resources. And in the floating city, where was the most likely place to store the profound arcana knowledge?
Of course, it was the most central and eye-catching arcana palace!
Therefore, relying on the stealth ability of the Law of Fire, Grimm broke through the tight blockade formed by the arcana towers and passed by many arcana facilities that looked like libraries and laboratories. He even stopped in his tracks and watched as a group of Arcanists directed a large number of Arcane Puppets towards the frontlines.
These Arcana Puppets were all very new …
Grim could even see signs of shoddy workmanship and hasty work on them.
From this, it could be seen that the defensive power of the floating city he was in had been squeezed to a certain limit, and was operating in overload. This was undoubtedly good news for Grim.
The power of the floating city was so obvious that it did not seem to be some kind of disguise. This also meant that in the following battles and breakthroughs, it was unlikely that they would encounter any fatal traps.
And this was also the only thing that Grim was worried about!
… …
Buildings were being torn down one after another.
The sky was filled with strange monsters with black wings and crocodiles' heads.
They screamed shrilly and shuttled back and forth between the bright energy rays of the arcana towers.
Every time they saw an Arcanist or an apprentice, they would dive down with shrill screams and grab the enemy into the sky with a series of violent explosions. Then, they would tear the enemy into pieces of bloody meat and devour them alive.
On the ground, all kinds of strange black and red mutated beasts roamed around. Almost every arcana building was surrounded by a large group of monsters. After they tore apart the defensive Arcana Puppets, they charged into the buildings. Soon, all kinds of heart-wrenching screams came from inside.
However, these screams would stop very quickly. Then, all kinds of scary sounds of chewing and swallowing could be heard.
Grim strolled leisurely between the battlefields and slaughterhouses.
He could see very clearly that transparent blue light spots were floating out from various parts of the floating city. They circled in the air for a while and slowly floated towards where Evil Hoof's aura was.
He did not know what method Evil Hoof used to cut off the path of these souls to return to the Mother Spirit River. However, he could guess that it must have something to do with the use of rule power. Otherwise, Grim could not imagine what kind of witchcraft or spell could be so powerful that it could interfere with the operation of the plane's laws in such a large area.
According to the agreement, the life energy and souls that were harvested belonged to Evil Hoof. Therefore, Grim only observed silently for a while and did not try to intercept any of the Arcanists' souls.
Wizard Holly and Qiu Lisha had already 'scattered'!
Only an idiot would not rush to plunder resources and treasures here.
Although the three of them had formed a team, on this floating city that was full of treasures, no one was willing to follow behind another strong Arcanist and eat the leftovers. Therefore, Grim was not surprised at all when they left.
However, Grim knew in his heart that their actions were unwise.
After all, apart from the normal Arcanists in the floating city, there was also a Fifth Circle Grand Arcanist. However, it was not the Grand Arcanist named Fra that Grimm was afraid of, but another terrifying enemy, the Lesser Lord of Calamity, Xie Hoof!
After working together to rush into the floating city, the relationship between the two sides had changed drastically.
Evil Hoof's words about working together to deal with the Fifth Circle Grand Arcanist could be true.
Perhaps in Evil Hoof's eyes, a few scattered rank 4 Wizards were easier to kill than a Fifth Circle Grand Arcanist!
Therefore, after parting ways with Wizard Holly and Qiu Lisha, Grim remained invisible and roamed around the battlefield. He did not go out to steal any resources or treasures. His purpose was to not let Evil Hoof know his location, so as to avoid unnecessary covetous thoughts.
At a crossroad leading to the Inner Circle Arcana Palace.
Three Fourth Circle Arcanists stood in a triangular formation, surrounded by a circle of arcane puppets of different shapes, silently guarding this place. In front of them, hundreds of mutant beasts were launching waves of fierce attacks.
The thick layers of corpses on the periphery of the battlefield were enough to show the intensity and bloodiness of the battle here.
The three Arcanists surrounded a Spell Pool with a diameter of ten meters. The walls of the pool were made of white gray stones, and the purest arcane energy flowed in it. The four walls of the Spell Pool were covered with all kinds of strange patterns and arcane runes. From time to time, they would vibrate with the arcane energy in the pool, overflowing with dazzling arcane light.
One had to admit that the Spell Pool was one of the greatest arcane inventions of the Arcane Kingdom!
Although the Spell Pool looked inconspicuous, it was one of the most secure centers of the entire floating city.
Usually, the tens of thousands of arcanists and apprentices in the floating city would come to the Spell Pool to meditate in their spare time and store part of their mental power into the Spell Pool, condensing arcana models and storing them there. In this way, as long as they were still in the Arcane Secret Network, they could use their usual stored arcane models from the Spell Pool at any time and anywhere.
Moreover, to a certain extent, the Inner Arcane Secret Network allowed them to borrow or overdraft some arcane models!
This also meant that once the Arcanists stepped onto the battlefield, they would be able to use the least amount of mental energy to summon high-level arcana spell models, and they would be able to cast them instantaneously.
Therefore, the three arcanists stood with their backs against the Spell Pool. Every time they waved their Arcane Scepters, they would be able to shoot out a terrifyingly powerful and fast high-level arcane spell. It was thanks to their continuous supply of high-level arcane spells that the Arcane Puppets on the periphery could resist the frenzied siege of hundreds of mutant beasts with such a small number.
However, just when the battle was at its most intense and ferocious, the floating city suddenly trembled slightly. The arcane barrier that appeared on the arcane towers and facilities shook a few times, and then mysteriously disappeared.
The Spell Pool that the three Level 4 Arcanists guarded also made a strange cracking sound, and a huge crack appeared on the wall of the Spell Pool. A huge amount of arcane energy spurted out from the crack, forming a beautiful magic rainbow above the Spell Pool.
Looking around the entire floating city, they were not the only area that had an accident. All the Arcane Towers and Spell Pools had collapsed at the same time.
Such a terrible scene immediately made the Level 4 Arcanists' expressions change abruptly, and one of them even exclaimed out loud.
"Damn it … something happened to the Energy Core!"
The Energy Core was the energy center of the floating city. Once there was an accident, the entire floating city's arcane energy supply would have a big problem.
In the best case scenario, the arcane buildings everywhere would lose their energy supply and lose their basic functions. In the worst case scenario, the floating city would lose its ability to float and eventually fall to the ground.
Therefore, as soon as they sensed the disappearance of the arcane barrier, the Arcanists couldn't help but panic.
Without the Arcane Barrier, the Mana Pool, and the Spell Pool, how were they going to defend against the endless enemies from afar?
