Just as the battle on the ground was locked in a stalemate, the floating warship high up in the sky began to move.
In the main cabin of the giant ship, the goblin wizard, Locke, who was dressed in a military uniform, sat in front of the main control panel. He pressed the turquoise button and slowly placed a red ring of fire on the tall and strong figure.
After all these years of training, it had become an Advanced Level-2 Magic Machinist and was honored to be promoted to the captain of the floating ship, Vasero. Sando, the blood elf archer, was now a mid-grade grade 2 Magic Machinist, and had become Captain Locke's personal assistant.
The battle below was still in full swing. As a high-grade captain, Locke no longer had to personally participate in these low-level battles on the ground.
Right now, all he had to do was sit comfortably in the clean and tidy combat hall, instructing the hundreds of goblin technicians to skillfully control the steel beast. He also had the spare time to turn the muzzle of the Magic Cannon, placing the damned enemy leader within the red circle of fire.
Once everything was ready, Locke pressed a communication crystal in his right ear, and urgently called out, "Area calling … Area calling … This is the captain of the Vasero, Locke. Lord Bliss, please respond if you hear me!"
A moment later, the unique hoarse voice of the Insect Lich, Bliss, came from the crystal.
"What? Can't you see I'm busy? Spit it out if you have something to say … "
"Lord Bliss, the Vasero's Magic Cannon is ready to fire at any time. It's estimated to be 4200 degrees of damage, with a range of 115 meters … Please move away from the target as soon as possible, or you will be affected! "
"Just do it! If I retreat, do you think that stupid cannon of yours can hit a peak rank 3 Bloodline Sorcerer? Just fire, I'll use some of the bugs to hold him back. Remember, aim properly. You might only have one chance to hit him … "
"Understood! The attack will begin in ten seconds, please be prepared, my lord! "
"Ten … Nine … Eight … Seven …"
A crisp and clear countdown sounded in the combat hall.
The moment he said '1', he pressed the fire button without hesitation.
In the sky, the giant floating ship, Vasero, suddenly trembled slightly. A five-meter-thick black beam of light shot straight down to the ground, enveloping Faceless Garo, who was still engaged in battle in the distance.
The terrifying magical energy was bound by the black light pillar, destroying everything in its path with its endless destructive power.
The moment the black light enveloped him, the distorted force field behind Broken Face Jia Luo only struggled for half a second before collapsing. The black light hit his body unabashedly. The exquisite and perfect witchcraft leather armor, the dark and heavy hard skin, and the sparse and withered hair on his body instantly rose into black smoke. Then, the smoke started to rapidly disperse and disperse.
As the black light passed through Jia Luo's body, hundreds and thousands of black beetles were instantly annihilated. As for the black light that was projected onto the ground, it instantly vaporized tons of soil, gravel, and roots without any obstruction, drilling a bottomless pit where it stood.
What's this … What terrifying magical energy!
Suddenly turning back, Broken Face Jia Luo's hideous and hideous face revealed a twisted and terrified expression. He immediately stepped into the void without hesitation, preparing to break free from the black light pillar.
However, just as he was about to exert his strength, a shocking number of black beetles withstood the light pillar's illumination and swarmed to his side. They turned into black chains and firmly bound him where he was.
"Bastard … You don't want to live …" Broken Face Jia Luo flew into a rage. He waved the demonic sword in his hand and instantly slashed the chains into pieces. From the corner of his eye, he saw the figure of the insect witch, Bliss, quickly escaping while being escorted by hundreds of high-grade insect servants.
"No …"
Broken Face Jia Luo instantly understood.
That damned insect witch, Bliss, had obviously made up his mind to leave him here. He was actually willing to abandon such a powerful insect army and escape with only the high-grade insect servants.
As the other party hissed and shrieked, the insect army that had been abandoned on the battlefield still rushed toward Broken Face Jia Luo without any regard for their own safety. Even if thousands of beetles were directly annihilated by the black light, they weren't afraid and didn't flinch.
And their actions had undoubtedly harmed Jia Luo!
Under the impact of the violent and ferocious black magic energy, all matter swiftly fell apart. After three flicks of a finger, a charred figure whose body had almost melted away struggled free from the black light pillar and staggered to its knees.
If it wasn't for the strange demonic sword that the charred figure was tightly gripping, Bliss might not have been able to recognize this charred and almost indistinguishable "thing".
Even a grade 4 wizard would have to be careful when dealing with the might of a giant airship's cannon. If a grade 3 wizard like Face-breaker Jia Lou hadn't been at his peak, if he hadn't transformed into a zombie, if he hadn't been resistant to magic, if he hadn't been able to resist Odd Zhuo's magic, it was likely that he would have been reduced to ashes at that moment.
Actually, what had saved Jia Luo's life was none other than the three Death Monarch Remains that had been transplanted into his body: the Spine of the Undead, the Withering Heart, and the Hand of Death.
These three Death Monarch Remains had already reached the standard of an immortal body, and had become a source of death energy for Jia Luo's constitution, strength, and magic resistance. In the face of the surging magic energy, most of the other parts of Jia Luo's body had already melted and been destroyed. Only these three organs rose up with a protective force field unique to grade 4 creatures, and barely managed to keep Jia Luo alive.
Unfortunately, Jia Luo's patchwork "immortal body" wasn't complete. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so badly injured by the fusion of power, and would have been able to rush out of that black light with only minor injuries.
Take advantage of his weakness!
Seeing how miserable and miserable that Face-shredded Jia Luo was, Bliss, who had just retreated into the distance, immediately turned around without hesitation. His entire body exploded into a huge swarm of black insects, and with ear-piercing buzzing sounds, he swooped back towards the battlefield.
Demonic Praying Mantises, Void Raiders, Slaughterers, and more than a dozen strange insects of different shapes and sizes. Some were invisible, some were invisible, and some were charging at Jia Luo like a giant black cloud.
Face-shredded Jia Luo raised his charred face. At this moment, only half of his head was left. He forcefully suppressed the anger that was about to explode, and fiercely slapped his chest. More than half of the flesh on his chest had been destroyed, revealing the tough ribs and thoracic spine underneath.
Through the cracks of the charred bones, one could see a ball of cold gray heart lying quietly, not moving at all.
This was the Withering Heart that Jia Luo had transplanted into his body!
However, it was a pity that the wild attack from before still broke through his defensive force field. Not only did it annihilate his flesh, but even a corner of the Withering Heart became slightly charred.
The Withering Heart and the Spine of the Undead had suffered varying degrees of damage, and this damage was irreversible. It was almost impossible to repair.
If Grimm was here, he would definitely be surprised to find that the strength of Face-shredded Jia Luo, who used to have 39 points, was now only left with 37 points. His Physique had also dropped from 34 points to 32 points …
This wasn't the fluctuation of energy reserves, but the actual basic attributes!
The few points that had fallen could not be repaired through food, rest, and nourishment. This meant that the 'Immortal Body Fragments' transplanted by Face-shredded Jia Luo had suffered damage to their origin, permanently losing a portion of their origin power.
This … was an unbearable pain for Jia Luo, who was determined to advance to Grade 4!
However, no matter how much pain and hatred he felt, preserving his life was more important.
Without hesitation, Jia Luo shook the Withering Heart, activating an escape talisman embedded within. In the next second, Jia Luo's entire body collapsed. Pieces of flesh and bones suddenly lost the restraints of death energy, scattering all over the ground.
After three flicks of a finger, all the pieces of flesh, blood, and bones melted into a black liquid that slowly seeped into the soil below, disappearing without a trace.
Face-shredded Jia Luo had finally escaped …
… …
The invasion of the Radner family had evidently incited the Crimson Family's resistance.
In the vast region where the two large Grade 4 organisations intersected, the situation of the battle became chaotic and unclear. No one could clearly grasp the future development of the battle.
On one hand, the Crimson Family was also hurrying to deploy manpower to protect the important resource points, secret grounds, and forbidden grounds. On the other hand, they constantly sent elite troops to ambush and kill the troops of the Radner family that had entered the Elobis region.
On this vast land that spanned tens of thousands of kilometers, there were several forbidden areas, secret places, and resource points. Both sides either besieged the points to attack the reinforcements, set up ambushes to lure the enemy, or intercepted and killed each other … All kinds of conspiracies and intrigues appeared, turning this once peaceful land into a bloody battlefield for the sorcerers to kill each other.
In a battle of this level, Grade 1 Magi were merely soldiers and cannon fodder that obeyed orders. Only Grade 2 Magi could be considered as the main force on the battlefield. However, in order to rule a local battlefield, only Grade 3 Magi could do so.
According to the flow of war in the central continent, Grade 3 Magi could be considered as the ultimate force that could decide the direction of a Magus War. As for Grade 4 Magi … That was a war of destruction on the level of 'nuclear weapons'.
If it was really Grade 4 Magi's turn, there would be no victory or defeat in a Magus War, only life and death!
In terms of overall strength, although the Crimson Family had not risen to power as long as the Radner family, the quality and quantity of Grade 3 Magi obviously surpassed the Radner family.
Hence, the Radner family made use of the sudden outbreak of the war to catch the Crimson Family unprepared. They launched a large-scale attack on the Elobis region, occupying close to a thousand square kilometers of Crimson territory.
However, with the Crimson Family's calm response and powerful counterattack, the Radner family's rapid advancement was stopped. The battlefront between both sides spanned tens of thousands of kilometers, and hundreds of fires were ignited at the same time.
