"Damn it, what are you waiting for!?" Sandos exclaimed angrily when he saw that his army of Undead creatures could not withstand a single blow from the Tower of Dusk's sharp counterattack.
"Okay, okay, it's just some bones. You can have as many of them as you want," the blood elf said nonchalantly, and then began to chant an incantation.
A huge Six-pointed Star Array emerged in the open space in front of the blood elf, after which a demon with wings and black gas on his back crawled out of the Six-pointed Star Array.
"Destroy them, these are the souls you want!" The blood elf threw a bead that contained countless souls at the demon, and then pointed at the Tower of Dusk. However, when the demon swallowed the Soul Bead and rushed towards the Tower of Dusk, the Six-pointed Star Array on the ground did not disappear. Instead, another demon crawled out.
10 Legendary-level demons waved their pitch-black tridents and rushed towards the Tower of Dusk's line of defense with heavy footsteps. The Legendary-level demons were the Greater Demons that liked to trade souls with humans the most. The blood elf had summoned 10 of them this time, and the number of souls he had to pay was probably more than 10,000.
After praying for a while, the one-eyed dwarf raised the wheel ax in his hand, and a thunderbolt fell from the clear sky, striking the spikes on the top of the ax. However, the one-eyed dwarf was not charred by the thunderbolt. Instead, his body that was surrounded by lightning seemed to have inflated, and he turned into a three-meter-tall giant in the blink of an eye.
Legend had it that dwarves had the bloodline of the Titans, which seemed like a joke to many people. Even the Alpine Giants were the descendants of the Titans. However, there was a legend among the dwarves that said that as long as a dwarf could truly awaken his bloodline, he would be able to transform into a powerful Titan.
It was said that at the end of the Dark Age, the dwarves had a team of dwarves that could awaken their bloodline in the coalition army that rebelled against the rule of the High Elves. The team of less than 100 people was named after the dwarves' holy relic, the Thor's Hammer. During the rebellion, they were like a heavy hammer, and had repeatedly thwarted the suppression of the High Elves. The one leading this team was the first king of the Dwarf Kingdom, the most famous hero of the Dwarf Kingdom, the Dwarf King Saladin.
According to historical records, when the Dwarf King Saladin used the power of the awakening of his bloodline, he could transform into a ten-meter-tall giant with the power to tear apart a giant dragon with his bare hands. In the war with the High Elves, the Dwarf King Saladin had fought with the powerhouses of the High Elves many times, and his hammer was stained with the blood and flesh of countless High Elves.
Of course, the power of this one-eyed dwarf's bloodline awakening couldn't be compared to the Dwarf King Saladin, but even if he transformed into a three-meter-tall brawny man, the power that he could unleash was still quite astonishing. The giant axe in the one-eyed dwarf's hand was originally very incongruous with his figure, but after his height skyrocketed, the giant axe became much more suitable.
After the One-Eyed Dwarf awakened his bloodline, he roared at the sky and smashed the giant axe in his hand on the ground, causing the whole ground to shake violently. At the same time, a huge crack that was large enough to engulf a person spread towards the second line of defense of the Tower of Dusk from the spot where the giant axe had been bombarded, causing cracks to appear on the iron wall that had been enchanted.
However, the one-eyed dwarf's attack did not only affect the Tower of Dusk's side, but also devoured a large number of Undead creatures on the Tower of Dusk's side. It was as if a blank passageway had been opened up in the tide of Undead creatures.
"Damn it! One-eyed dwarf, whose side are you on!? " Although the Necromancer Sandos did not feel sorry for the Undead creatures, he was exasperated when he saw that the one-eyed dwarf's attack had a greater impact on him than on the Tower of Dusk.
"Haha, I'm so sorry, I accidentally broke your bones!" The one-eyed dwarf laughed nonchalantly, but he raised the giant axe in his hand again. In fact, countless tiny lightning bolts could be seen flickering on the giant axe.
The one-eyed dwarf, who was no longer a dwarf, rushed into the army of Undead creatures, and crossed the distance of hundreds of meters in a few steps. Along the way, he crushed countless Undead creatures. When he rushed to the Tower of Dusk's second line of defense, he once again swung the giant axe that he had already accumulated power. There was a loud bang, and the ground shook violently again.
"Blast him back!"
Gavin, who was in the commanding position of the Tower of Dusk, got a great shock when he saw how fierce the one-eyed dwarf was. He hurriedly ordered them to focus on counterattacking. Through the roar and the tremors of the ground, he could completely feel the power of the one-eyed dwarf's attack, which was even more domineering than any siege weapons. If he were to let the dwarf hit them a few more times, the line of defense might really be torn apart.
Upon receiving Gavin's order, four Magical Crystal Cannons on the turrets of the Tower of Dusk immediately turned their muzzles, and four condensed mana cannons blasted at the one-eyed dwarf in front of the line of defense. The power of the Magical Crystal Cannons was needless to say. The Humerus Wyrms in the sky had already been blasted apart several times. Even though the one-eyed dwarf had peak Legendary-level strength, he wouldn't be in an advantageous position after being blasted by the four mana cannons.
However, to everyone's surprise, the one-eyed dwarf did not even have the intention to dodge the mana cannons. In fact, he even had the time to grin. Immediately afterwards, the four mana cannons were shot at the same time, and the three-meter-tall dwarf's body was instantly engulfed.
Is that one-eyed dwarf a fool? Facing the bombardment of the mana cannons, he actually didn't dodge at all! Seeing this scene, the mages of the Tower of Dusk were a little stunned. Although they were happy to get rid of a powerful enemy so easily, the current situation made them instinctively feel a little strange.
"Well, Master Sandos, how could Master Dante …" Canuman was obviously not very familiar with Sandos and the others. Hence, when he saw the one-eyed dwarf being bombarded by the four mana cannons without dodging at all, he couldn't help but be astonished.
Only Legendary-mages would be able to resist the bombardment of the Magical Crystal Cannons with magical defense, but it would definitely not be easy. Even if the one-eyed dwarf transformed, his magical defense wouldn't be able to reach such a high level. How could he have resisted the attack with his body!?
"Pfft, the dwarves created the Magical Crystal Cannons themselves. How could they not have some tricks up their sleeves?" the blood elf chuckled in disdain.
Even if they had some tricks up their sleeves, they couldn't have resisted it with their bodies! Canuman muttered to himself, but he did not get angry because of the blood elf's attitude. It was because he knew that although the powerhouses of the mutants did not seem to have much power, they seemed to have a wide range of connections in the mainland, and knew many unknown powerhouses who lived in seclusion all over the mainland.
Canuman's original plan was to hire these mutant powerhouses to be his gunmen, but he did not expect them to turn the tables and drag him onto a boat that he could not get out of. However, that was good too. Anyway, the three arbitrators of the Supreme Council did not treat him as a human, and it was said that there were powerhouses who were not weaker than the three arbitrators in the social circle of the mutants.
At this moment, the light that had engulfed the one-eyed dwarf also dissipated in a moment, and Canuman also knew what the blood elf had mentioned about the backup plan that the dwarves had for dealing with the Magical Crystal Cannons. He was surprised to discover that not only did the one-eyed dwarf's body not have any scars after withstanding the four Mana Cannons, but his muscles had also swelled up even more. It was clear that he had more explosive power.
He actually absorbed the power of the mana cannons! Canuman couldn't help but be shocked. Although the mana cannons were condensed purely from mana, it was precisely because of the high degree of compression and condensation that it was impossible for any mage to extract a trace of mana from it. However, the dwarves relied on their tyrannical bodies to directly absorb that power and transform it into their own power. How incredible was this?
Fortunately, in the human kingdom, powerful defensive weapons like the Magical Crystal Cannons did not really replace other defensive weapons such as the ballistae and catapults. Otherwise, once the Dwarf Kingdom and the human kingdom went to war, the Magical Crystal Cannons installed on the city walls would become the dwarves' energy source!
Canuman also knew that not every warrior of the dwarves could have such power, and the problem probably lay in the so-called bloodline awakening of the dwarves. However, after being shocked, he stopped thinking about that problem. After all, the situation of the human kingdom had nothing to do with him, the President of the Guild of Magic.
At the same time, the people of the Tower of Dusk were so shocked that they could not close their mouths. Even wyrms, which were known for their defensive power, would stagger after being hit by the Magical Crystal Cannons. How could that dwarf be fine? He used his body to resist the bombardment of the Magical Crystal Cannons, and not only did he not get injured at all, he even seemed to have taken some tonic and became even more vigorous. That was simply beyond their understanding.
"Continue to attack the enemies in other directions with the Magical Crystal Cannons. Mages, enter the Eternal Furnace and use magic to stop that dwarf!" Gavin clenched his fists tightly, and while calmly giving orders to the people below, he secretly wondered why Lin Li hadn't returned yet!?
Three years ago, when Lin Li stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, the Tower of Dusk became the center of attention in the entire Breezy Plains, and even in the Ledin Kingdom and other countries. The Tower of Dusk had almost become the holy land of magic in the Breezy Plains, and almost every day, there would be mages coming from afar in hopes of joining the Tower of Dusk. At the very least, they would want to register as members so that they could enter the public library of the Tower of Dusk to study.
However, as Lin Li headed to the Sky Castle, time passed day by day, and rumors that he had died in the Sky Castle began to spread in the Breezy Plains. The situation of the Tower of Dusk suddenly took a turn for the worse. Gradually, some large forces began to disrespect the Tower of Dusk, and some small and medium-sized forces also began to disobey them. The number of mages who came to the Tower of Dusk to study also decreased, and they even began to leave.
In order to change the situation, Gavin had tried his best, but for ordinary people, three years was too long. In Anril, most things depended on one's strength, and the Tower of Dusk, which did not have a rich heritage like the ancient forces, could be said to be struggling without Lin Li, the President who was in the Sanctuary-realm.
Fortunately, Lin Li had once displayed some ruthless means that shocked a group of people. Otherwise, the Tower of Dusk might not even exist now. After all, rumors were just rumors, and there was no definite news of Lin Li's death. Many people were still worried that the young Sanctuary powerhouse might come back to settle scores with them.
However, even then, it was impossible for the Tower of Dusk to maintain its previous status as there were plenty of people plotting against them. Otherwise, Canuman and the others wouldn't have been able to fight their way to Doland. They would probably have been chased out as soon as they entered the Breezy Plains.
In the current situation, the Tower of Dusk could only rely on the Tower of Dusk and the Eternal Furnace to barely survive and not be destroyed. However, they had no time to care about the various businesses outside. Even within the Tower of Dusk, there were actually many people who wanted to surrender and leave. Even if the other party could not break in, they would be trapped there for a long time as long as they surrounded the Tower of Dusk.
When Lin Li went to explore the Sky Castle, not only did he bring along his Undead servants and other powerhouses, he also took away more than half of the mages. As a result, the Tower of Dusk did not even have a senior Legendary powerhouse. They had to rely on the magic tides that suddenly appeared to allow a few Archmages to suddenly advance to the Legendary-realm. However, the mages who had just entered the Legendary-realm could not exert much of the power of the Legendary-realm at all. They could bully those below the Legendary-realm, but they were far inferior to the enemies opposite them.
Now that they were facing the enemy's attacks, the Tower of Dusk's future seemed hopeless, even though they were not in imminent danger yet. Even if the enemy retreated, who knew if they were trying to lure the people inside out? During this period of time, such things had happened before. In other words, regardless of whether the enemy retreated or not, the people of the Tower of Dusk would have no choice but to stay there.
Under Gavin's orders, a portion of the mages, mainly level-19 Archmages, entered the Eternal Furnace from the top of the tower. The one in charge of the core of the Eternal Furnace was none other than Gerian, who had abandoned his Guild of Magic and lived a carefree life with Lin Li for several years.
Gerian was rather lucky. With his talent in magic, he would only be able to reach level-19 at most no matter how hard he worked. Besides, he was too lazy to work hard in the first place.
