Outside the realm, Esorda Camp.
This was a majestic tower that stood at the center of the camp.
The colorful magical radiance on the tower was dazzling even in the Esorda Camp that was filled with Wizard's Pagodas. It left a deep impression on anyone who saw it.
But at that moment, the door to a private Wizard Lab on the twenty-third floor of the tower suddenly opened. The Great Wizard Onaik coughed violently as he rushed out. Behind him, one could faintly see a ball of strange smoke rapidly transforming into a blurry human figure, crazily swarming toward the door.
Onaik escaped the secret room in a hurry, closing the door behind him.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he was, there were still wisps of smoke drifting out of the room. They quickly gathered in the air, looking like they were about to take on a human form again.
There was a loud bang.
A bright-colored Wizard Fireball exploded in the middle of the ball of smoke, completely engulfing them in the terrifying Wizard Flames.
Onaik was not at ease after the fireball exploded, and he followed up with two more. He only stopped when he was sure that all the smoke had been completely extinguished.
Thump, thump, thump …
A loud rumble suddenly came from the door of the secret room, as if a massive creature was trying to escape and was attacking everything in a frenzy.
Onaik creased his brows and ordered coldly, "Kompus, carry out a full cleanup of the seventh lab …"
Kompus was the name he had given to the Tower Spirit of the Wizard Tower.
"Yes, sir!" The Tower Spirit immediately reacted after receiving the order from the Tower Master.
A strange sound like a tsunami suddenly came from within the secret room. A moment later, the sound gradually faded, and the room became silent.
"The seventh lab has been cleansed … The Wizard Creation that went out of control has been destroyed, and the internal machinery and devices have been completely destroyed. They need to be reinstalled and adjusted … The detailed list is as follows: … Master, please approve if you want to use the Wizard's Pagoda's reserves to rebuild the seventh lab …"
The list of items and resources reported by the Tower Spirit echoed in his mind, and Onaik could not help but feel a headache coming on.
The failure to refine the Cloud Giant Potion had cost him a lot of high-grade resources. Coupled with the expenses and expenses of rebuilding a high-level lab, even a level six Great Wizard like him would feel the heavy pressure.
4.2 million Magic Crystals …
The Tier 6 experiment that went out of control just now had cost him 4.2 million Mana Crystals.
This was already equivalent to the entire net worth of a Grade 3 giant dragon. It was no wonder that he had such an ugly expression on his face!
"Kompus, clear out the fifth lab and prepare a portion of the ingredients for the Cloud Giant Potion …" Onaike gritted his teeth and prepared to give it another shot.
"The fifth laboratory has been cleaned. However, the remaining resources are not enough to make one more Cloud Giant Potion. "
"Which one is missing?"
"300 grams of active ancient giant spinal cord …"
"Hiss …" Ounaik felt his teeth ache even more.
The Cloud Giant Potion he wanted to concoct was a rank 6 potion, and it required the active spinal cord of an ancient giant, which was an extremely rare Magus resource. It was almost impossible to replenish it in a short period of time.
The Ancient Giants had been extinct for tens of thousands of years, and it was extremely difficult to obtain their active spinal cord.
Onaike had only found a group of descendants with the bloodline of the Ancient Giants in a small plane. He had slaughtered over a hundred Sub-Blood Giants in one go and continuously refined them, increasing their activity. Only then did he manage to obtain a suitable batch of active giant spinal cord.
Now that he had used up all of the main ingredients, where could he find more?
But just as Onaik was feeling vexed, new information came from the tower spirit Compass.
"Warning! Warning! Strong energy waves detected in the outskirts of Camp Esorda. Target location: XXX … Magus Kaelf of the inspection department sent you a message 27 hours ago asking if the camp needs to intervene. He is currently awaiting your reply!"
The inspection department was a Magus organisation under Camp Esorda. They were mainly in charge of the security and basic order around the camp. Kaelf was a rank 4 Magus and the head of the inspection department.
"27 hours ago? Looks like I missed out on a lot of interesting things while concocting the Cloud Giant Potion, "Onaike laughed sinisterly," Kompus, bring me the report Kaelf submitted! "
"Yes!"
A moment later, a magic mirror the size of a round table floated in front of Wizard Onaike. It was filled with all sorts of books, magic notes, and all sorts of strange little objects. In the middle of the table, there was a piece of parchment with strange and beautiful patterns on its edges. It was faintly flashing with a red light, indicating that it was in an emergency state.
Onaike tapped the parchment with his right hand, which had a ring on it. With a 'huala' sound, it quickly unfurled in front of him, revealing the densely packed information within.
"Hm? … A newly established outskirts camp? … The Crimson Family … Steel City … The Istanbul Family's team … "
After quickly reading through the report sent by the inspection department, Wizard Onaike, who had just lost a large amount of resources, had a sinister look on his face. He casually contacted Kaelf through a spell.
A strange male with golden skin appeared on the screen. He had no eyebrows or hair. After seeing Wizard Onaike, he hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"What's the situation now?" Onaike yawned and asked impatiently.
"The fierce battle is still ongoing …"
"They're still fighting? How is that possible? The Istanbul Family has a large number of high-ranked Magi. How could they be in a deadlock with a family that has just stepped into the outer world? Could it be that all the high-ranked Magi of the Isatar Family are dead? "
Hearing Great Wizard Onaike's astonished question, the golden-skinned Magus smiled bitterly. He then turned the camera and pointed the magic mirror at the battlefield in the distance.
… …
The battle was still intense!
As the defending side, Steel City displayed astonishing defensive capabilities and even more shocking offensive capabilities.
In just a month's time, Steel City had already extended its tentacles to every corner of this giant floating rock. A thick layer of metal armor completely armed the floating rock, making the inside of the giant rock the true core of Steel City.
The top of the giant rock was covered with thick metal plates, and tall metal towers could be seen everywhere. Countless pitch-black cannons protruded from them, pointing at the surrounding void.
At the center of the many metal buildings was a tall and majestic metal palace, its mouth wide open, becoming the only main road in and out of the giant rock. In front of the metal palace was a huge plaza that occupied an area of 10,000 square meters. Tall and mighty metal Magical Machines were arranged in neat rows on the plaza.
At this very moment, Steel Capital was like a metal hedgehog that had curled up, hiding all of its weaknesses under the thick metal deck, and the only thing that could protect it were the layers of Arcane Cannons and Arcane Cannons on the surface of the giant rock.
Fighting against Steel City was a team of 3,000 Magi.
All of them wore a Dark Blood Badge on their chests, which was also the insignia of the Isatar Family's Dark Blood Legion.
The Dark Blood Legion was the most famous Magus team of the Isatar Family, a Tier 5 organization.
Its members were all Dark Blood Magi from other planes.
It was said that they were the products of bloodline synthesis experiments and were considered a kind of witchcraft creation. Aside from carrying out higher-grade bloodline synthesis experiments, such Magi no longer had the ability to advance and level up on their own.
To put it bluntly, they were a group of mass-produced humanoid wizard beasts that only possessed some Magus attack methods!
All the Dark Blood Magi were riding on some kind of mutated, enlarged owls, circling around Steel City at lightning speed. Every time they swooped down, they would brandish the staff in their hands, releasing one elemental spell after another with astonishing offensive effects.
Their ranks varied, with eight Tier 3 Dark Blood Magi and over 70 Tier 2 Magi leading them. The rest were generally at the Advanced Tier 1 level.
It was precisely such an astonishingly powerful force that had firmly sealed off the giant rock occupied by Steel Capital, before charging into the sky in droves to bombard it.
Under the ferocious attacks of their spells, blazing flames and colorful elemental explosions could be seen everywhere on the surface of the giant rock. One after another, elemental explosions rang out incessantly, plunging the entire battlefield into an abyss of suffering.
Meanwhile, Steel City, which was on the defensive, was not willing to sit still and wait for death. It bombarded the Dark Blood Magi with a dense net of fire.
The Dark Blood Magi and the mutated owls they rode were all protected by witchcraft shields.
An ordinary Tier 1 Dark Blood Magus' witchcraft shield could withstand five to seven attacks from the Magic Cannons, while a slightly higher Tier 2 Dark Blood Magus could withstand around 15 attacks. As long as they did not charge into Steel City's net of fire and were not focused by the Magic Cannons, there was no possibility of their witchcraft shields being destroyed.
The Dark Blood Magi's previous attack was indeed a wandering tactic, sending the Dark Blood Magi to the front line in batches to attract Steel City's firepower and deplete its internal reserves of elemental energy. Whenever a Dark Blood Magus' witchcraft shield was on the verge of shattering, they would replace the Dark Blood Magi and send them back after the shield recovered.
The Tier 4 Magus of the Isatar Family, who was in charge of leading the Dark Blood Legion, had also thought this through.
Before coming here, they had investigated the matter thoroughly.
The Crimson Family had not built a Wizard Tower in their base.
This also meant that the massive Steel City below did not have the protection of the Wizard's Pagoda, and it was even more impossible for it to obtain the support of the Wizard's Pagoda's energy. Thus, the more Magic Cannons the other party brought out, and the more frequent the attacks, the more terrifying the energy reserves of the family would be depleted.
How many Magic Crystals could a 'small family' that had just advanced to Tier 4 have?
Based on the intensity of the firepower, the Crimson Family would probably have to pour out all their blood and sweat once the battle was over!
