Within the Wizard's Pagoda.
The Scouting Crystals and Wizard Eyes set up in the tunnels were discovered and destroyed by the enemies, but the remaining ones still revealed the situation outside to the water mirror in the central hall.
Seeing the terrifying scene of tens of thousands of heads moving in the tunnels and the roaring of the beasts, all the apprentices in the Wizard's Pagoda could not help but feel their hearts in their throats, silently wondering if it was the right decision to continue staying here.
The underground tunnels extended in all directions, and it was possible to find cracks in the rock strata and canyons that could barely allow people to pass through in any region. As long as they escaped from the Wizard's Pagoda and hid in a corner far away, there was still a chance that they could escape this "undeserved disaster".
The power of both sides was so disproportionate that even the Prospective Wizards who had been following Grimm for a long time had lost the confidence that they would win. Many of them silently hoped that they would abandon the pagoda and escape upon Grimm's command. That way, there might still be a chance that some of them would survive.
Once the gate was blocked by the beast tide, and there was no Teleportation Formation in the Wizard's Pagoda, what else could they do to escape?
The apprentices in the tower worked hard to do their own work while thinking about it in torment. Most of the time, they did not have an answer, nor did they dare to have an answer!
Although the name of their mentor, Fire Demon, resounded through the skies in the Federan area … In the face of a terrifying opponent that was like a mountain entering the sea, how many could he kill no matter how powerful his individual strength was? Among the leaders of the Magical Beasts, there were as many as five Elite Magical Beasts and seventeen Wizard Level Magical Beasts. As for ordinary Magical Beasts, there were no less than three digits.
On the other hand, Grimm could barely be considered an Elite Wizard, Gargamel was a veteran Wizard, and Meryl was a newly advanced Wizard. Other than them, the strongest defense of the Wizard's Pagoda was a group of eleven Underground Chimeras and the mechanical girl, Sabrina.
Among the twelve apprentices, there were five Prospective Wizards and seven high-level apprentices.
With this kind of power, if they were paired with a well-functioning Wizard Pagoda, they still had a chance. But … even though the Wizard Pagoda had been desperately storing energy for the past four days, the Elemental Pool in the Energy Room was still not full. Once the battle started, it would be difficult to last more than an hour.
If the battle was too intense, this time would be even shorter!
Even though the apprentices did not go into the Energy Room to see what was going on, they could tell that the Wizard's Pagoda was lacking in energy at the moment, even if they were to think with their toes, they could tell that the Wizard's Pagoda was lacking in energy at the moment.
But in contrast, Grim's attitude was unusually firm and resolute!
Grimm only ordered the Chimeras to block the underground creatures. He did not send any apprentices into the terrifying underground labyrinth. With the strength of the acolytes, without any concealment or protection, it would be wishful thinking for them to stop the attacks of the beasts.
Thus, Grimm did not waste any effort. Instead, he gathered them into the Wizard's Pagoda and assigned them to an offensive Wizard Formation. He, Gargamel, and Meryl were directly responsible for guarding the door of the Wizard's Pagoda. Once the battle started, that place would undoubtedly become the most ferocious region!
…
Three hours after the beasts started their attack, the wave of Surface Beasts finally broke through the underground labyrinth and poured into the underground cave where the Wizard's Pagoda was.
Like a super huge octopus, the army formed by the beasts kept extending inside the cave. The huge number of beasts occupied every inch of space in sight in an instant.
On the ground were countless ferocious beasts such as lions, tigers, and cheetahs. Of course, there was no lack of terrifying monsters such as Forest Trolls, Forest Fairies, Berserk Apes, Razor Boars, Lazy Beasts, and Lightning Leopards. The sky was filled with birds such as crows, turtledoves, and woodpeckers. There were also ferocious beasts such as Thunder Rocs, Twin-legged Flying Dragons, and Gryphons …
There were also many harmless creatures such as snakes, deer, and owls amidst the tide of beasts. All the creatures gathered together, roaring in unison as they charged toward the glowing Wizard's Pagoda in the center of the cave.
Almost as soon as they stepped into the cave, a huge wave of Magical Energy rose from the Wizard's Pagoda. Balls of Lava shot out like meteors, dragging long trails of black smoke behind them as they fell into the crowd of beasts.
Thud thud thud …
Like a concentrated barrage of grenades exploding at the same time, the beasts that had just revealed themselves were instantly blasted into pieces, their bodies a mess. Wherever the violent shockwave of flames swept past, the forest beasts with weak life force were instantly killed or injured. And the rain of lava that splashed everywhere instantly wiped out a large group of beasts.
Not to mention the ordinary forest beasts, even an ordinary magical creature with beginner level Magical Resistance would not be able to withstand such a violent and violent fireball!
The vanguard of the beast horde that had just entered the cave was instantly wiped out!
What was even more terrifying was that the lava rain that splashed everywhere would ignite a raging fire wherever it landed. The terrifyingly high temperature and ferocious flames instantly incinerated the small animals that had just gotten close.
Against the magical flames created by the Elemental Wizard, the beasts and birds that did not have any magical resistance could not get close at all. No matter how many of them there were, they would only die if they charged in!
Furthermore, these were not ordinary natural flames. It was difficult to extinguish them with the sheer numbers of the beast horde.
Hence, after the entrance of the cave was sealed by the Magic Flames, the ordinary beasts struggled with all their might, not daring to take a step forward. However, they were continuously pushed forward by their 'companions', and were then pushed into the sea of flames with faces full of despair.
After a preliminary analysis of the species of the attacking beast horde, Grimm had already adjusted most of the offensive Wizard Spells in the Wizard's Pagoda to Lava Fireballs. The Wizard Apprentices did not need to expend any of their energy. All they had to do was stay comfortably in the Wizard's Pagoda, then follow Grimm's instructions and throw the Lava Fireballs at the predetermined area.
In order to conserve as much energy as possible, Grimm did not put up a full protective force field. Instead, he focused all of his energy on the offensive Wizard Formation.
With a dozen or so Lava Fireballs, Grimm completely sealed off the entrance of the cave. If the beast horde wanted to charge in, they would not be able to get close to the Wizard's Pagoda without paying a price.
After the first round of fireballs, all of the apprentices stopped attacking and quietly waited for Grimm's instructions.
This also showed how terrifying the Fire Element Wizard Spells were!
Most of the other Wizard Spells would disappear after being released for a period of time. However, after the Lava Fireball that Grimm chose exploded, it created a small sea of lava on the ground near the entrance of the cave. As long as the lava was not extinguished, the sea of fire would never disappear.
Hence, they could last for a long time, and were especially difficult to destroy.
Seeing that only a dozen Lava Fireballs were used to seal the advance of the beast horde, the apprentices in the Wizard's Pagoda immediately cheered.
However, Grimm did not have to wait. The beast horde that was blocked in front of him quickly made a new move.
Like a geyser, the black mass of flying beasts flew over the heads of the beast horde and rushed into the cave. They formed a dense formation and rushed toward the Wizard's Pagoda from the sky.
Grimm, who was standing in the control hall of the Wizard's Pagoda, scanned the area with his mental energy and did not care about the flying beasts.
Although their numbers were dense and intimidating, if one were to take a closer look, most of them were almost harmless ordinary flying beasts. Magical beasts like Twin-legged Flying Dragons, Thunder Rocs, and Gryphons were in the minority!
A red glow flashed in Grimm's hand. As he whispered, he gave an order to the leader of the Chimeras.
A closed window on the third level of the Wizard's Pagoda suddenly opened, and nine Wizard-level Chimeras rushed out. They did not attack the black mass of birds, but circled around the Wizard's Pagoda.
Under Grimm's command, the second round of Lava Fireballs was thrown at the flock of birds.
Just like the first round of attack, the violent Wizard Spells brought a devastating blow to the flock of birds. No matter how ferocious the flying beasts were, they would be turned into a giant fireball as soon as they came into contact with the Lava Rain.
Therefore, after the second round of witchcraft, the air in the cave that was previously impenetrable became sparse in an instant.
The leader of the Chimeras and a few adult Chimeras took the opportunity to meet the few exposed flying beasts, while the two young Chimeras flapped their bat wings and charged into the flock of birds, killing them in a frenzy.
In an instant, the cacophony of bird cries and the angry roars of the Chimeras blended together!
Both parties clashed and killed each other in the air near the Wizard's Pagoda. Bird corpses and blood rained down.
Under Grimm's strict orders, the Chimeras would never stray more than a hundred meters away from the Wizard's Pagoda, no matter how intense the battle was. Whenever they were surrounded by the ferocious flying beasts, they would quickly hide within the protective circle of the Wizard's Pagoda, using their sharp claws to grab onto the walls of the Wizard's Pagoda to rest.
If the flying beasts dared to get close, the Wizard's Pagoda would fire a Lava Fireball at them. Within a range of a hundred meters, only those small and nimble magical creatures could dodge the fireball's attack. Large creatures like the Twin-legged Flying Dragons were often forced to use their membranous wings to deflect the Lava Rain.
Hence, when the Twin-legged Flying Dragon and Gryphon were blasted into pieces by the Lava Fireball and fell from the sky, none of the flying beasts dared to approach the Wizard's Pagoda.
Hence, even though the number of Chimeras was far less than the number of flying beasts, with the protection of the Wizard's Pagoda, they were still able to put up a good fight. Instead, the number of flying beasts in the sky began to decrease rapidly.
