Within the Energy Room of the Wizard's Pagoda.
Gargamel was working with a frown on his face.
His job was simple. He had to toss a mountain of beautiful Magical Crystals into the Elemental Pool, then watch as they instantly turned into pure Magical Energy and were absorbed by the Wizard's Pagoda's defense system.
With his hard work, a hundred and forty thousand Magical Crystals had been neatly stacked in the Elemental Pool. As the battle continued, the Magical Crystals were quickly depleted.
Fortunately, Grimm did not activate his Force Field Defense. Otherwise, the Wizard's Pagoda would suffer unbearable damage from the hundreds and thousands of attacks, and the Magical Crystals in front of him would not be able to last long.
With this in mind, Grimm gave up on the Force Field Defense, allowing the Wizard's Pagoda to withstand the attacks of the Beast Tide with its sturdiness. Most of the energy was supplied to the Offensive Wizard Formation within the Pagoda. Lava fireballs shot out of the Wizard's Pagoda at every moment, clearing an empty space for the Beast Tide that had surrounded the Wizard's Pagoda.
Every round of attacks from Meryl and the other apprentices would cause the Magical Crystals in the Elemental Pool to lose a layer.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Gargamel felt as if his heart had been clawed by the sharp claws of a wild cat when he saw the mountain of Magical Crystals melt bit by bit in front of him. That kind of regret and hatred was hard to understand.
As a wandering Wizard, he did not have a fixed source of Magical Crystals. Everything he needed was obtained by selling Wizard Potions. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Wizard Families and the covetous eyes of the Lone Wolves, he had to be very careful.
That was why being poor was a common trait among all wandering Wizards!
Now that he had suddenly seen such a large amount of Magical Crystals, he had the urge to jump into the pool and roar in joy. Thus, when the Magical Crystals melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, Gargamel's heart was silently bleeding.
But just as Gargamel was clenching his teeth and continuing to pour Magical Crystals into the pool, the Wizard's Pagoda suddenly shook violently. Nearly half of the Magical Crystals in the Elemental Pool disappeared in an instant.
Has the indiscriminate destruction plan been activated?
Gargamel suddenly raised his head, using the control authority of the Wizard's Pagoda in his hands to sense what was happening outside the pagoda.
The Wizard's Pagoda was still shaking, but the world outside the pagoda was already in chaos.
…
The wave of beasts unleashed by the veteran Demon Lord, Demon Hunter Spider Tula, had almost included most of the beasts within seven hundred miles of the Diseased Forest.
Although their numbers were huge, they were not inexhaustible.
So at this moment, most of the beasts that the leaders of the monsters had driven here had rushed into the underground tunnel and filled every inch of space there.
Just as they were attacking the Wizard's Pagoda, which was on the verge of collapse, an earth-shattering rumble came from the depths of the Sickly Forest. Immediately after that, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the hill where the Sick Forest was located. A huge dust pillar that was a hundred meters tall shot out from the crack.
The drastic change in the terrain immediately triggered a strong earthquake, the dislocation of rock strata, and the violent eruption of volcanoes.
Almost half of the originally complicated underground maze collapsed in an instant, and most of the remaining passages were twisted and dislocated, blocked by the sand and debris that poured down.
At the same time, the body of the Wizard's Pagoda in the middle of the lava hall suddenly lit up.
The dark red body of the Wizard's Pagoda that was made of volcanic rock released a blinding red glow under the influence of the alarmingly dense Fire Element, illuminating the entire lava hall in red.
The floor around the base of the Wizard's Pagoda suddenly turned red and hot, and countless terrifying cracks instantly appeared on it. Terrifyingly hot flames spewed out of the ground, instantly sending countless wild beasts flying to the top of the cave. However, when they fell from the sky again, they had already turned into charred, scattered bones.
As for their flesh, it had already been vaporized by the high temperature!
The beast horde that had been on steroids a moment ago immediately panicked, running around to avoid the scorching hot air and the towering pillars of fire. The massive lava hall immediately descended into chaos.
"The enemy is activating some kind of powerful Wizard Spell, we have to stop him!" The Demon Hunter Spider Tula was indeed a veteran leader that had lived for a thousand years. Faced with such a cruel environment, it bravely charged toward the Wizard's Pagoda that was filled with strange phenomena.
Under its lead, the Magical Creature leaders that had been watching the battle from the sidelines all charged toward the Wizard's Pagoda.
But at this moment, the cracks on the floor were no longer limited to the surroundings of the Wizard's Pagoda. Instead, they quickly spread throughout the entire lava hall. When the hot air was almost fully released, the thick, pungent smell of sulfur began to spread throughout the entire area. Following that, viscous red lava continuously surged out of the ground, then flowed wantonly along the undulating volcanic rock floor.
If it was only a portion of the lava that had been carried up by the air current, the many Magical Creature leaders present would not be afraid. But as the lava continued to gush out, the entire lava hall was almost completely covered in boiling red lava. This also brought a disaster to the beast horde crowded in the hall.
They were only ferocious beasts that dominated the forest. They did not have magic-resistant skin, nor did they have the ability to fly. How could they defend against the rolling waves of lava with their bodies of flesh and blood?
Thus, countless wild beasts frantically climbed the stone pillars and stalagmites that were on higher ground, trying their best to step on their companions, using this method to delay the time of their deaths.
But it was all for naught!
Amidst the earth-shattering tremors, the underground tunnel that led outside broke into three or four sections, already broken and distorted to the point that it was difficult to pass through.
The beast horde that had been trapped in the tunnel was almost instantly destroyed by tons of sand and soil, while even more of the beast horde was still trapped in the lava hall.
But what awaited them was not good news!
The sea of lava continued to rise, going from barely covering one's feet to more than half a meter deep. It had completely drowned the entire lava hall, and had also buried thousands of wild beasts in it.
If such a massive beast horde was left to humans to slaughter, it would take at least a day or two to kill all of them. Furthermore, the scene would be abnormally bloody, accompanied by a pungent stench. But when the culprit became the continuously rising sea of lava, everything became so calm and peaceful.
Even the most powerful wild beasts or Magical Creatures did not have the ability to survive in the lava. They could still howl pitifully at the start, but once they lost their grip on the stone walls and fell into the sea of lava, just a small bubble of fire would swell up, and a ferocious and tyrannical life would disappear!
Iron-armored Rhinoceroses, Berserk Baboons, Razor Boars …
These fellows were all super meat shields and fighters with thick skin and long life force, but once they fell into the surging, viscous flow of lava, they did not even have the chance to struggle or resist. They were burnt to a crisp in minutes, and then burned to ashes.
At the start, these birds could still flap their wings and fly quickly, barely keeping their lives. But as the heat wave and flames consumed all the air in the cave, they could not find a place to temporarily stay, so they all fell into the slowly flowing lava, and were swallowed up with nothing left.
After a quarter of an hour, there were less than two digits of Magical Creatures left in the previously crowded lava hall. They were all climbing on some thick stone pillars, anxiously looking around for a gap to escape. As for their subordinates and clansmen, they had all been swallowed up by the rising sea of lava.
Of the dozen or so Magical Creature leaders, only a few had the ability to fly.
Even the Minotaur that followed Medusa was fighting with the Berserk Baboon over a stone pillar, and was knocked into the lava by the latter, burnt to a crisp.
The Hunting Spider Tula spat out a white spider web, pulling itself to the top of the cave, temporarily escaping the threat of the lava that was slowly approaching. However, the other Magical Creature leaders did not have this ability, and could only try their best to use their sharp claws to grab the stone walls or pillars, trying their best to climb higher.
Just as they were feeling anxious and angry, a tall human figure slowly rose from the roiling lava. The body formed by the scarlet lava gradually solidified, and the face of a human Magus appeared on the uneven head.
"It's an honor to meet all of you here." Grimm smiled, and looked around at the miserable state of the 'people' around him. "The war you have just started has been lost! What do you think of the future? "
"Human …" The Hunting Spider Tula hung upside down on the top of the cave, its ferocious mouth and pincers rubbing against each other, and its dense compound eyes flashed with a strange light. "You've already won this war, and you can control this land? Don't even think about it! The Black Forest belongs to us Magical Creatures. You humans, get out of our land … "
With a crazy roar and Psychic Shock, the Hunting Spider suddenly loosened its grip on the top of the cave, and pounced towards the burning man.
The Hunting Spider's huge body was like a metallic spider monster. Not only did it have great strength, but it also had a completely different fighting style.
The burning man's outer shell cracked, turning into drifting sparks that scattered in all directions.
A human Magus appeared there, raising his head and staring at the Hunting Spider that was pouncing towards him.
He had black hair, black eyes, starry eyebrows, and bright eyes. There was a coldness and calmness between his brows that was far beyond that of a normal person.
The style of his gray Magus robe was very ordinary, and a book of Magus Spells hung on a silver chain around his waist. Three Ain Stones that were flashing red, purple, and blue hovered above his head, and he held a powerful black staff with red patterns in his hand.
Facing the Hunting Spider's sharp limbs and giant pincers, Grimm's body moved slightly, and he retreated twenty to thirty meters. He waved the staff in his hand, and a swift flame arrow hit the opened mouth of the Hunting Spider just in time.
The giant pincers twisted slightly, and the flame arrow was shattered into a wave of heat.
Such a small amount of heat would not affect the powerful Hunting Spider at all.
The Hunting Spider's abnormally sharp limbs were as light as a feather, and they quickly pierced through the sea of lava, but did not break it. The Hunting Spider carried its body and quickly pounced towards Grimm.
No wonder it was not threatened by him, it really did have such a strange ability …
Grimm thought as he quickly transformed into a Balrog.
The next moment, a five-meter-tall Balrog rose from the sea of lava.
