Compared to the high morale of the alliance, the atmosphere within the Blazing Flame Monarch was gloomy and gloomy.
Even though the Crimson Wizards had not suffered any losses, the Elemental Pool within the Wizard's Pagoda's Energy Room was slowly reaching its bottom, and a family-style crisis was about to befall them.
The Blazing Flame Monarch's Wizard's Pagoda no longer had any excess energy to maintain the defense system of the tower. This also gave the attackers a reason to attack the base of the Wizard's Pagoda at close range. Following the dull thuds, the entire Wizard's Pagoda trembled slightly.
The Wizard's Pagoda had already used stones to seal the many airtight windows, then turned the remaining magical energy into a Energy Field Wall and a Flame Barrier to seal the door of the Wizard's Pagoda. They did not have the energy to send down lightning to kill the large group of enemies gathered around the base of the Wizard's Pagoda. With the crude construction equipment of the enemy, they would need at least half a day to create a path through the three-meter-thick base of the Volcanic Tower.
Thus, the greatest threat to the Wizard's Pagoda at the moment was still the alliance Wizards, and not the group of alliance warriors attacking the Wizard's Pagoda like ants.
As all of the entrances had been sealed, the only way for the enemy to successfully enter the Wizard's Pagoda was through the door of the Wizard's Pagoda, which had a metal door embedded in it.
The Wizards of the Crimson Family were all gathered in the Wizard Hall on the first floor, instructing the remaining Archer Magical Devices to fire at the mass of people outside through a few small shooting ports. The dull thuds of metal bullets piercing through human bodies rang out incessantly. The alliance warriors, who had gathered into a ball of flesh, did not seem to care about death, continuing to hack at the sturdy body of the tower with their blades, axes, and hammers without fear of death.
Even though the body of the tower made of volcanic rock was not indestructible, it was harder than steel and had a high resistance to fire. If the Wizard's Pagoda were to pour in magical energy and activate the sturdy Wizard Formation etched within the volcanic rock, the ordinary weapons of the alliance warriors would not be able to damage it at all.
Unfortunately, the Wizard's Pagoda was currently lacking in energy. All of its magical energy had been used to seal the door, and it could only allow the enemy to attack the tower without fear.
The cautious Wizards of the Alliance seemed to have detected the predicament of the Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda, and they all became active. They quietly approached the Wizard Pagoda and started to use powerful Wizard Spells to attack the uncovered body of the Wizard Pagoda.
The firmness of volcanic rock was indeed not bad, and its resistance to fire was excellent. Unfortunately, its ability to resist other types of sorcery was somewhat lacking. Under the barrage of the ferocious Wizard Spells, the surface of the Wizard's Pagoda's volcanic rock started to crack. Rock fragments of various sizes were scattered everywhere like snow.
The Wizard's Pagoda was in danger!
In times of crisis like this, the loyalty of the family's Magi could be seen more clearly.
Medusa, Charon the Manticore, Sofia the Berserk Witch, Soros and Winsol the Blood Knight, Phiri and Talainia the Blood Elf, Ava and her beloved daughter Emelia the Forest Demon, Zacha the Dragonman …
They firmly sealed the entrance to the hall on the first floor, taking turns to charge and kill the warriors of the alliance who wanted to break into the Wizard's Pagoda. Under the enemy's tide-like attacks, their Magical Energy and stamina were also quickly being depleted. Most of the Wizards were more or less injured.
If not for the protection of the Wizard's Pagoda and the healing potions, some of them might have already collapsed to the ground!
Now that they were at the end of their rope, the Wizards who stayed behind had to make a choice between escaping or defending.
Sending all the Wizards away through the Teleportation Formation while the Wizard's Pagoda still had the energy to isolate them from the outside world was undoubtedly the best way to reduce the family's losses. But just as the Gargamel was not confident in defending the Wizard's Pagoda, the temporary leader Mary stood her ground and decided on a plan to continue defending.
Her reason was simple. Alice had promised her that the Flame Monarch would not fall!
Mary had no doubt about that.
As for her Blood Tribe subordinates, they naturally had to advance and retreat with her.
As Grimm's Soul Slave, the Dragonman Zacha displayed a loyal and fearless spirit as usual, standing at the frontline to protect the Wizard's Pagoda. In comparison, the Gnome Tigole was a little hesitant and had an unfriendly 'conversation' with Mary.
But just as the two of them were arguing, the Teleportation Formation on the fourth level of the Wizard's Pagoda was inexplicably activated. It looked like someone was trying to teleport over.
Mary, Tigole, and Gargamel could not help but look at each other.
Of course, only their own people knew the coordinates of this Teleportation Formation. But the Flame Monarch was already in such a state, yet there were still Wizards who dared to step into the muddy waters. This … was too unbelievable!
Under the silent gaze of the few of them, the Teleportation Formation shone with a white light, and a familiar yet unfamiliar man in a black cloak appeared before them.
"Bilis …" Gargamel's mouth opened wider and wider, and he even stuttered when he said the name of the person who had come. "Lord …"
With much difficulty, Gargamel finally managed to spit out the word 'My Lord'.
Once upon a time, this Wizard Apprentice Bliss had been a lowly person who worked hard under him. If not for Gargamel recommending him to the head of the family, this little fellow might still be struggling in the circle of apprentices.
But … Only a few years had passed, and this little apprentice had actually grown into a 'Lord' that even he had to bow respectfully to. An indescribable feeling of disillusionment assaulted Gargamel's heart, and he could not help but wonder if he had chosen the wrong path.
"Not bad, as expected of the fellow I thought highly of. You've indeed become a Grade 2 …" Mary sized up the black-robed Bliss. Although the other party had concealed his body very tightly, Mary could still vaguely sense his approximate level from the close proximity of their auras.
"Greetings, Lady Mary!" Perhaps it was because he had been ruthlessly abused by Mary during his time as an apprentice that caused Bliss to tremble at the sight of her.
Furthermore, an insect lord like him was most afraid of agile assassins. Bliss was confident that he could kill other professional Magi with his frightening numbers of insects and newly evolved insect generals, but this was useless against Mary.
Mary's extraordinary speed was something that even an evolved Void Plunderer could not compare to. But in terms of numbers, Mary's four Grade 2 generals were not much weaker than Bliss'. As long as the Blood Breeds could hold back the five Void Plunderers for a moment, it would not be difficult for Mary to take off Bliss's head.
As for Bliss's ability to transform into a swarm of insects to avoid the enemy's attacks, it was useless in front of Mary.
After all, after Bliss had fused with the Strange Insect Queen, his soul imprint was under Grimm's control. No matter how many times he transformed, Grimm would still be able to find his soul in the dense swarm of insects. As Grimm's' concubine ', Mary seemed to have been given some special privileges by him.
This was actually the main reason why Bliss had always been afraid of Mary!
"You've come at the right time. This place is about to collapse, but the reinforcements that Alice promised have yet to arrive. We still need you to hold the Wizard's Pagoda for a while. Do you have any objections? " Mary asked with a smile, but there was no hint of pleading or begging in her eyes.
"No objections … No objections …" Bliss immediately said in a hoarse voice, "My family has put in so much effort to nurture me. I naturally have to contribute in times of crisis."
After saying this, Bliss strode out of the Teleportation Room and headed for the Wizard Hall on the first floor.
As he walked, Bliss's body shrouded in the black cloak was like dumplings being thrown into a pot, clattering as clumps of black beetles fell to the ground. These black beetles were all the size of a fist, with hard shells and sharp fangs. They even had two pairs of strange elytra, one large and one small, on their backs.
Blitz's body, which was shrouded by the black robe, seemed to have opened a portal to a strange world. Swarms of black beetles swarmed out from within and gathered into a group. They swarmed and flew down the spiral staircase.
The screams of the female Sorcerers and the roars of the male Sorcerers suddenly rang out in the Wizard Hall on the first floor. Fortunately, they had quickly received a communication spell from Mary, and did not attack the terrifying swarm of beetles that brushed past their clothes and hair.
"It's Lord Bliss …"
"He's advanced to rank 2 …"
The Magi who were familiar with the situation immediately guessed the reason.
At this critical moment for the family, another powerful rank 2 Magus had stood out. No matter what, this was a good thing to be thankful for!
The large swarm of beetles circled above the hall for a moment, and immediately condensed into a black arrow, shooting towards the black mass of people gathered outside the light barrier.
The alliance warriors, who had been attacking the force field with all their might a moment ago, seemed to have fallen into a black torrent in the next moment. They began to stagger backwards involuntarily, and waved their swords in a daze.
The black beetles were not afraid of normal swords. Even if a two-handed greatsword slashed at the surface of their carapace, there would only be a dazzling spark, and they would spin a few times before flapping their elytra wings to adjust their posture. They would then merge into the swarm of beetles and continue their assault on the enemy.
Tens of thousands of black beetles that resembled locusts converged into a black torrent, rapidly sweeping through the densely packed crowd. Wherever they passed, the concentrated sounds of tearing and tearing never stopped. And when the black torrent swept through the crowd, what was left behind was a horrifying carcass that was incomplete, with only bits and pieces of armor left.
Originally, there was only one swarm of beetles, but as more and more beetles swarmed out, the swarm began to split.
In an instant, a dozen black, ribbon-like swarm of beetles weaved through the crowd in front of the Wizard's Pagoda, tearing and tearing, spreading a deep terror to every corner of the battlefield.
