The arrival of the strange party did not escape the notice of Bliss's eyes.
After quickly cleaning up the underground cavern, Grimm and the other two returned to the surface and laid in ambush in the forest.
From the looks of it, this party of magic weapons that had followed the traces they left behind should be the elite troops of the goblin empire. Since the Planar War was going to break out sooner or later, it was best to take advantage of the opportunity to find out more about their enemies.
Hence, Grimm and the other two did not choose to leave. Instead, they laid in ambush and waited for the strange party to arrive.
Since the goblin empire was able to dominate the entire plane, they definitely had their own strengths. The goblins themselves were weak, and Grimm and the other two did not take them seriously at all. Hence, the reason why they were so strong was because of these magical weapons that resembled metal puppets.
Hence, even if it was just to gather some basic data, this battle was a must!
Mary had rested for a night. Although she had not recovered to her peak, her basic combat abilities were no longer affected. Grimm was a Grade 2 Fire Wizard. Although he had to endure more pressure from the plane, the speed at which he analysed the laws of the plane was not slow with the help of the A.I. Chip. Hence, he still had basic combat abilities.
Mary flapped her wings and flew to the top of a tree, using the dense canopy to conceal herself. Bliss, on the other hand, laughed coldly and burrowed into the ground, disappearing without a trace. However, with the existence of the soul contract, Grimm could sense that Bliss was hiding underground in a large shrub on the right. His Scorpion Battle Beetles had already spread out to every corner of the forest.
Grimm did not hide, nor did he need to. He stood alone at the entrance of the underground cavern, calmly observing every movement in the distance.
Amidst a series of strange metallic noises, a team of 13 Battle Magical Machines slowly entered his sight.
Grimm's powerful gaze slowly swept across the magic weapons. Blue light flickered in his eyes, and he immediately deduced their external appearance, habits, positions of nodes, and possible methods of attack in the shortest time possible.
Of course, it was just a deduction. All the details had to be verified in battle.
So, since we are here, let us fight!
Grimm didn't say a word. He grabbed at the air with his right hand and dense fire element frantically gathered in his palm. A head-sized lava fireball quickly appeared and floated in the air. As the fireball spun, the terrifyingly high temperature and the approaching hot wind made the Demonic Machine Squad that had just entered the battlefield stop in their tracks.
At this moment, such a scene unfolded in front of the entire Demonic Machine Squad.
A man, a powerful wizard who was more than two meters tall, stood in front of them. He held a terrifying fireball in his hand, and the intensity of the flames kept rising. He stared at them coldly.
With the help of the Recon Meter in the Battle Magic Machine, they could clearly see the energy value rising rapidly.
2300 degrees …
2500 degrees …
…
Three thousand degrees …
3,500 degrees …
…
…
Damn it, how could the enemy be so strong? A fireball he casually gathered could reach a temperature of three to four thousand degrees? If they were hit head-on by such a fireball, none of the Battle Magic Machines would be able to escape unscathed!
The Demonic Machine Squad swallowed their saliva with difficulty. The arrogant Demonic Machine Squad immediately became silent. Some of them even stealthily moved their Magic Machines to the periphery. Of course, it wasn't because they were afraid of retreating, but because they wanted to widen the battlefield to avoid colliding with each other while dodging the fireball.
"Evil Wizard, I am Tigule of the Demonic Machine Squad, you …"
The three-meter tall Metal Goblin was just about to step forward and say something when the fireball in Grimm's hand moved, drawing a beautiful arc in the air as it flew towards him.
"Damn it …" Tigule didn't have the time to say anything else. He raised both of his metal hands, and his palms split open, revealing two pitch-black muzzles.
In the next moment, a rain of metal bullets rained down on the lava fireball like a violent storm under the impetus of the gunfire.
The rest of the Battle Magic Machines also retreated, extending pitch-black muzzles from various parts of their bodies to assist their captain in intercepting the terrifying fireball.
Thus, this lava fireball with a flame intensity as high as 210 degrees and a temperature of almost 4,000 degrees exploded in the middle of the battlefield!
Violent flame shockwaves and a meteor shower filled with lava fragments shot out in all directions. While the Battle Magic Machines were dodging, they ejected light blue energy barriers from their bodies to protect themselves.
The energy barrier seemed to only be effective against magical elements, and could not block purely physical attacks. Therefore, the Lava Shards easily penetrated the Combat Magic Machines and smashed against their metal shells, producing loud bangs. However, the subsequent shockwaves of flames were completely blocked, and did not come into contact with the bodies of the Battle Magic Machines.
A Basic Energy Barrier!
Its resistance against energy attacks seemed to be between 350 to 500 degrees …
A blue light flashed in Grim's eyes. In just a few seconds, he had seen through the essence of the energy barrier and estimated the strength of the barrier.
Here, Grim could not help but feel that Gaz Rhuvi was indeed a genius goblin engineer. He actually managed to transplant a low-level spell onto a Battle Magic Machine. Moreover, it displayed a decent elemental defense.
One had to know that a Basic Energy Barrier cast by an apprentice would only have an energy defense of around 50 degrees. However, after Gaz Rhuvi transplanted it onto a Battle Magic Machine, its strength suddenly increased by ten times.
The reason for this was that the endurance of a human's body was far weaker than that of a Battle Magic Machine. An energy output of up to 50 degrees in an instant was still within the endurance of a Wizard Apprentice's body. If the defense was increased by ten times, it might sound like the defense would be better, but the Wizard Apprentice would be completely crippled.
However, this problem did not exist with Battle Magic Machines. As long as the metal body could withstand it, the instantaneous energy output was usually several times or even tens of times greater than that of a human. If they could choose better and more suitable magic metals to build the energy transmission system, it would not be a problem to instantly increase the energy output to a hundred times that of a human!
Therefore, by relying on the uniqueness of the Battle Magic Machine, they were able to reach the strength of an Advanced Energy Barrier with just a Basic Energy Barrier. Seeing this, Grim could not help but frown slightly.
Even a Grade 2 Fire Wizard like him would need three all-out attacks to break through an energy barrier of 500 degrees. If it was an Agility-based Wizard like Mary, it would probably take seven to eight consecutive attacks to break through.
Grim's heart skipped a beat. He immediately sent the data he had calculated to Mary and Bliss.
Now that he had tested the Battle Magic Machine's defense, he needed to test its attack power.
Grimm strode forward, grabbing and tossing with one hand, and a powerful lava fireball flew out. The fireball's attack power was more than 200 degrees, and it was enough to put a heavy psychological pressure on the Magic Machine Squad.
In order to test its accuracy, Grim did not use a Lava Barrier. Instead, he used a purer Flame Barrier. The violent and ferocious elemental flames condensed into a shield-like Flame Barrier that rotated rapidly around Grim's body, blocking all the attacks for him.
The torrential barrage of metal bullets landed on the Flame Shield. The incoming metal bullets were all melted by the high temperature of the flames into liquid metal, and then completely vaporized in a small explosion of flames.
Grimm continued to move forward. The three Fire Shields that were spinning around him crackled and popped. The shields formed from pure flames were trembling, and dark red cracks had already appeared on the surface of the bright red shields.
15-25 degrees!
Grim immediately estimated the basic strength of the Battle Magic Machine's metal bullets and made a basic evaluation of their attack power.
The good thing was that the Battle Magic Machine's bullets were purely physical attacks and did not carry any elemental damage. The bad thing was that the Battle Magic Machine's attacks were too fast. Once the attacks of a Beginner Apprentice were stacked together, they could cause a lot of trouble to a Wizard.
The thirteen Battle Magic Machines surrounded Grim and kept a distance of 20 to 30 meters from him. The Battle Magic Machines then crazily flooded the Battle Magic Machine's body with their metal bullets.
Most of the Battle Magic Machines were destroyed by the strange Flame Barrier around Grim's body. Some of the bullets missed and landed on the tall ancient trees around him. Even the trees that needed three people to wrap their arms around them could not last more than two seconds. Wood chips flew everywhere, and the trees were riddled with holes. Then, they suddenly collapsed with a series of cracking sounds.
Through special observation lenses, the Goblin Mechanics hiding in the Magic Machines watched the human Wizard being surrounded and beaten up by the Battle Magic Machines, but he could not fight back at all. No, the Battle Magic Machine could still fight back. It was the kind of powerful Lava Fireball that could shock the Goblins.
However, this kind of Fireball was not a problem for the elite Magic Machine Squad. They could either use the Battle Magic Machine to blow up the Fireball in mid-air, or dodge quickly to avoid the Fireball's landing point. In short, this evil Wizard who was surrounded was not as scary as the rumors said!
However, just when the members of the Magic Machine Squad felt relieved, Grim, who thought he had completed the basic test, finally unleashed his' full strength '.
Two Lava Shields made of Lava and Pure Flame quickly formed in front of Grim and replaced the Flame Barrier that was riddled with holes.
With the protection of these two Lava Shields, the Battle Magic Machine that was on the verge of collapsing immediately became as stable as Mount Tai. Grimm raised his right hand, and a large area of effect Crimson Flame Storm engulfed the whole area, including all the Battle Magic Machines.
The violent and ferocious Elemental Flame turned into hundreds and thousands of Flame Streams that collided with each other randomly, creating a mess in the battlefield. It also quickly blocked the vision of the Goblin Mechanics.
"Be careful … High speed teleportation …" Captain Tigule was experienced. He immediately sensed that something was wrong and loudly warned.
