[Part Four]
This spell hadn't appeared in the last few thousand years, but all the mages had heard of it and tried to complete it.
There was a saying that a mage who could only shoot fireballs wasn't a good mage, but that didn't apply to the fireball in front of them. If a mage could only shoot this kind of fireball, he was definitely a powerful mage, so powerful that mages of the same level wouldn't dare to provoke him.
This was a spell that could completely lock onto the target, and there was no way to get rid of it. The problem was that the power of this fireball couldn't be resisted by any magic shield. It needed to be countered with magic, just like how Salin and Rex had practiced before.
However, the mental power of these two mages combined was less than half of Rex's, and their calculation ability was far inferior to Rex's. The two mages couldn't calculate the key point to crack the fireball before it reached them. If they could do it, they would have already advanced to Rank 10, and they wouldn't be stuck at Rank 9 when the entire Myers Continent was advancing to Rank 9.
Rex had just practiced this fireball. If she was at level 10, she could release a few at will. Now that she was stuck at level 9, she could only shoot one in a battle. However, this fireball was very powerful, and it wouldn't be a problem to kill three Magic Shooters in a row.
In the sky, Silva and Eleanor saw the mountain slope surrounded by clouds. Silva simply took out a javelin, ready to kill the enemy at any time, and Eleanor nocked an arrow on Longbow Seven Nights.
Sure enough, the mages in the clouds were terrified, and two of them flew into the sky. Salin was dealing with the mages, and couldn't care less about intercepting these mages. The two mages had just rushed out of the clouds when they saw two black dots flying from the back of the giant beast in the sky.
Their flying spells weren't very good, and they were both level 7 mages who had advanced not long ago. Silva only threw a steel javelin, and the tip of the javelin was refined with a bit of crystallized metal. The mage's shield couldn't withstand it.
The javelin's head was smashed into powder, and the spear shaft shattered the shield and penetrated the mage's body.
This javelin was Silva's unique weapon. The metal spear shaft was covered with reverse scales, and when it penetrated the mage's body, these reverse scales would naturally open and expand the wound several times. Between the mage's chest and abdomen, a bowl-sized hole suddenly appeared.
Shika was probably the first person to break a Magic Shooter's spell with pure power.
The other High Mage died a quick death. Eleanor's arrow pierced through his eye socket and flew out of his brain. The pressure of the arrow squeezed out his brain, killing him in an instant.
Salin's attack this time was a head-on clash. He killed the enemy's commander without any hesitation. This battle made him even more confident. Even if he didn't use his family crest or the Thunder Dragon Spear, he could still look down on Mages of the same level.
On the huge beast in the sky, the two children giggled, as if they had no idea what their mother was doing. Although the two Mages had died a tragic death, it was not too bloody as they turned around and ran into the clouds.
A magic alarm emerged from the clouds and was extinguished by Eleanor with an arrow. What followed was a beam of light that soared into the sky. Eleanor was caught off guard by a mage's magic, but it wasn't that she couldn't stop it.
Salin had never seen a mage use magic to sound an alarm. He cooperated with Rex in the clouds and killed more than thirty people in a row. The remaining few sent the alarm. Salin suddenly felt a little bored. His plan was to get rid of everyone in the mountain area, then set up a trap here to attract the enemy to attack.
If he attacked the main camp directly, he would be surrounded and attacked by the strong. If there was an alarm in the mountain area, the strong from the main camp of Daliang City a hundred miles away would probably arrive in an hour. He couldn't make detailed arrangements yet.
Moreover, there were still three groups of people in the mountain area that needed to be dealt with. Salin frowned and dispersed the clouds. The Desolate Puppets pounced. The remaining Magic Shooters wanted to surrender, but Salin ignored them and let the puppets kill the three Magic Shooters and one mage.
The puppets' axes and halberds were all destroyed. Salin replaced the puppets' weapons. The battle outside was still fierce, but the puppets were chasing the soldiers. Although the combat power of these puppets was lower than that of the Desolate Warriors, they could still move on their own without Salin's command. This was what Salin liked the most.
Salin and Rex faced thirty-eight enemies together and came out unscathed. There were even three level-nine experts among them. This kind of result could only be said that the combat power of the two was much higher than that of enemies of the same level.
The giant beast in the sky slowly descended. Salin realized that the power that the giant beast controlled was something that he was very unfamiliar with. The wings of the giant beast were only used to adjust the direction and speed of flight, but not the key to floating in the air. It was as if the power of the earth was supporting the giant beast and letting it float in the air.
The things that the Nature Priest made were indeed strange. They had nothing to do with magic or magic.
Salin didn't think too much about it. He said to Silva and Eleanor, "The Wing Skeleton and Zola are on the outside. The enemy's reinforcements can't come in for the time being. Nicholas can't stop the level-nine experts from flying over for the time being. We have at most an hour to set up the trap."
"Understood. I'll go clear the outside." As Silva spoke, he patted the giant beast under him. The giant beast rose into the air and carried Silva and Eleanor to chase after the soldiers.
Salin chose a flat ground near a mountain and said to Rex, "Set up that Phantom Magic Array of yours."
Rex understood and began to clear the ground and set up the magic array. Salin, on the other hand, put away the elemental creatures and commanded the puppets to hide on the mountains to the left and right. The puppets' weapons were still not strong enough. When fighting against Magic Shooters, they would be destroyed if used too much. However, there were too many puppets. Salin couldn't make equipment for them one by one for the time being.
The alchemy factory produced weapons that were mass produced. The fact that these weapons could kill Magic Shooters was enough to prove that they were not defective products.
Rex quickly finished drawing the magic array. Salin then took out the Elemental Magic Tower and placed it on top of the magic array. Then, he released all the elemental creatures and sent them into the Magic Tower. Then, he went in too.
Rex continued to set up the Phantom Magic Array in front of him. This Phantom Magic Array had many variations. In his haste, Rex only managed to distort the vision of the entire mountain. The mountain was moved back in the illusion, and the scene of the battle was saved.
It was not clear whether the divine spell alarm could be seen from a hundred miles away. However, this was set up to hide the existence of the Elemental Magic Tower. Rex activated her Phantom Magic Array. The entire Magic Tower disappeared and turned into a giant incarnation of Rex. This incarnation also had attacking abilities. However, compared to Rex, it was probably not even one-tenth of Rex's strength.
Rex sat in front of the Magic Tower and meditated. The fireball just now had killed two Magic Shooters of the same level, and it had also used up most of her mental strength and magic strings.
After more than half an hour, Eleanor and Silva also returned. Salin hesitated for a moment, but still let Silva and Eleanor return to the Magic Tower. Salin would not be at ease if the reinforcements from the Vatican were level-ten.
Silva entered the Magic Tower. On the seventeenth floor, she looked at the mountain road in the distance with Salin.
In the direction of Daliang City, there was also a white ray of divine spell light shooting up into the sky. Salin's Elemental Eye could not decipher the complicated meaning of this light. However, the magic alarm itself could express a lot of content. This divine spell alarm must be the same.
There were too many troops surrounding Daliang City. The Vatican had taken over the land of Kushui Prefecture in Jialou Lan in one go. This had been planned for a long time, and they did not have to worry about Rex's metal flying device at all.
Because the Vatican's strength had skyrocketed and the appearance of the Oracles, the speed of advancement of the Divine Spell Masters had reached a terrifying level. How could the Church tolerate the lack of manpower that they were facing now that the problem of manpower was solved? Daliang City was too much of an eyesore here, and it also blocked the way from Lihai to Jialou Lan.
The Vatican's ambition was, of course, to swallow the entire continent. This Daliang City was also the key to attacking Cloud Flow.
Black Prison Island was still anxiously building warships. Once the latest warships were successfully built, Lihai would belong to the Vatican. By then, they could attack Cloud Flow from three directions. The sea, Lihai, and the Red River defense line.
The Vatican and Cloud Flow still had to work together for a long time, but it was better to take down Daliang City first and divide it into the Vatican's land. It would be much easier to prepare for the attack on Cloud Flow in the future.
In Daliang City, the one in the worst mood was not Stephanie, but Garin.
Rex had delayed her in Port Royal for two months, and then sent her to Daliang City, saying that they would rendezvous here. She had fought her way through the siege, only to find that there was no Magic Tower for her in Daliang City.
It was fine if she was by Sarin's side, that was a mission given to her by her teacher. But what was this in Daliang City? She wanted to help in battle, but she could not even get a Magic Tower!
Garin was not just angry about this. She had come late, and it did not matter that all the Magic Towers were occupied by the Glucos family's Magic Shooters. She was angry that she could not even stay in Rex's palace.
What about Rex? He was just a member of the royal family, and she was Ebola's first student.
The ones in charge of serving Garin were a few Mage Apprentices, and Garin did not want to be angry with such low-level Mage Apprentices. She did not go up to the walls to help in battle, and only trained in the house that was assigned to her.
Eleanor's guess was right. Garin was angry because Rex did not take her seriously.
Garin was a proud person, and had been the pride of the Golden Plains since she was young. She had always been unconvinced by Rex's reputation. If she were the princess, she could do better than Rex.
She had been a little indignant on Rex's behalf. Sarin actually had two women. But after meeting Rex, it took her two months to understand that Rex was dragging her along. Sarin was doing something behind her back.
Unknowingly, Garin began to hate Rex. On the other hand, she found Sarin very interesting.
