Seeing this scene, Thorne Merlin felt his vision darken. Even an idiot would know that they had jumped into a trap.
Those Raging Flame Beastmen were clearly waiting in formation and weren't secretly defending. They had formed an encirclement, and it was unknown how long they had been hiding, as if they had already known that someone would come.
After fighting against the Raging Flame Beastmen for so long, how could Thorne Merlin not see through it?
But at this time, there was no way out. The teleportation array had to be destroyed, and whether Hoppet could be killed or not was secondary.
The battle unfolded in the blink of an eye …
No one had time to think. A large group of Raging Flame Beastmen wearing thick and crude armor raised huge steel shields and roared as they charged towards the Merlin Family.
In the rear, the Raging Flame Beastman Warlocks raised crude magic staves and chanted a sharp and ear-piercing incantation. In the sky, several dozen meteors with long trails of black smoke fell down.
The mages only had time to raise their Magic Shields before the meteors smashed into their ranks.
A warrior raised the greatsword in his hand and roared as he slashed a meteorite into pieces. However, he was immediately hit by another meteorite. Flames shot out everywhere, and the huge force smashed the armor of this warrior into pieces. A large amount of black smoke and flames swept out, instantly swallowing this warrior's body … …
In just a second, a dozen Merlin Family warriors were swallowed by the meteors, and the three Great Mages' Magic Shields were torn to shreds.
The blood-curdling screams of death instantly echoed.
"Fight!"
Thorne Merlin roared and raised his greatsword. A five-meter-long Aura Slash flew out and ruthlessly tore apart the three fastest Raging Flame Beastmen.
The other mages also started chanting incantations, and a large amount of ice appeared in the sky, transforming into snowflake-like sharp blades that rapidly revolved and left bloody wounds on the bodies of these Raging Flame Beastmen.
Wind Blades whistled over, and Fireballs exploded within the ranks of the Raging Flame Beastmen, while Ice Walls rose up in front of them.
In an instant, several dozen of the fastest Raging Flame Beastmen were swallowed by spells. Wind Blades cut their throats, Bursting Fireballs shattered their shields, and Ice Walls blocked their charge.
But there were too many Raging Flame Beastmen …
At least a thousand Raging Flame Beastmen were participating in the attack, and there were over a hundred Warlocks! Not to mention the fact that Hoppet, who was at the peak of the mountain, had yet to make his move!
Thorne and Merlin clenched their teeth and stubbornly stood their ground, staring at the peak of the mountain.
"Hold them off, I'll go destroy that teleportation formation!"
Thorne Merlin jumped up and slashed three crescent-shaped Aura Slashes in a row, killing a few Raging Flame Beastmen blocking his path before rapidly flying towards the peak of the mountain.
The range of the teleportation array covered the entire peak of the mountain, and it was very huge. Thorne Merlin's Aura was already flaring up, and the light on his greatsword was fiercely fluctuating.
When he was over thirty meters away from the teleportation array, Thorne suddenly roared, and glaring Aura burst out of his greatsword and fiercely charged towards the teleportation array.
As long as the teleportation array was destroyed, it would be the greatest victory!
Thorne knew that he couldn't kill Hoppet when he saw him, so as long as he destroyed the teleportation array, the sacrifice would be worth it.
The glaring Aura was about to reach the teleportation array. As long as it hit, that Aura Blast would definitely destroy half of the teleportation array!
If Hoppet wanted to repair this huge teleportation array, he would need a lot of time!
As long as someone from the Merlin Family managed to escape, Hoppet's plan would definitely fail!
Thorne's eyes carried a wisp of expectation. This was already his strongest attack, but Hoppet hadn't made a move yet, so he had a chance!
Then, a large amount of flames suddenly appeared in front of the teleportation array, and a blazing Flame Shield blocked in front of the Aura Blast.
The glaring Aura Blast exploded on the Flame Shield, and the boundless flames turned into red fragments that spread in the surroundings. Half of the Flame Shield had been destroyed, but the teleportation array was still intact.
Hoppet had a trace of disdain on his face as he quickly chanted a few words. In an instant, a green cloud appeared above Thorne's head, and countless fist-sized green water droplets poured down.
When the water droplets landed on the ground, it was as if a strong acid had been poured on the ground. Sizzling sounds could be heard as holes appeared on the ground, and the pungent smoke began to spread. Thorne felt dizzy just by smelling a little of it, and his lungs felt as if they were on fire.
Thorne's expression changed, and he didn't even think about dodging.
The Acid Rain covered over thirty meters, and it was also very toxic, so he simply couldn't resist it.
But the next moment, Hoppet sneered and extended a finger. A black rune appeared on his fingertip and turned into a black ray that instantly shot towards Thorne.
Thorne roared, and his Aura sharply rose, turning into a light that covered his body. When the light came in contact with the acid rain, sizzling sounds could be heard as the acid rain rapidly corroded his Aura Defense.
Thorne blocked the greatsword in front of him, and it was hit by the black ray.
When the ray hit the greatsword, there wasn't the huge power that Thorne had imagined. Instead, a black light spread from the greatsword to his body.
Suddenly, a huge sense of exhaustion surged into Thorne's mind. He staggered, and his Aura instantly weakened. The greatsword in his hand seemed to have become 500 kilograms heavy. Even with all his strength, he could only barely lift the greatsword.
This wasn't a Poison Ray, it was an Exhaustion Ray!
A thought flashed through Thorne's mind, and a huge sense of crisis welled up in his heart. All the hair on his body stood on end, and he wanted to dodge, but he felt that his limbs weren't listening to him.
But after being hit by the Exhaustion Ray, his body felt like it had gone through three days and three nights of battle. He only had a little bit of strength left, and his hand holding the greatsword started to tremble.
Thorne's Aura Defense was continuously corroded by the acid rain, and in just two seconds, a large hole appeared in his left shoulder. When the acid rain came into contact with Thorne's skin, he felt as if he was being burned. Thorne's complexion immediately turned pale.
His legs trembled as he took two steps forward. Then, he saw a two-meter-wide meteorite with a long, smoky tail hurtling toward him at high speed.
Thorne angrily glared at the meteor and did his best to urge his Aura, but his legs felt like they were carrying 500 kilograms of rock, and it was extremely difficult to even lift them.
After two seconds, the Exhaustion Ray's effect finally dissipated, and the feeling of being filled with power once again filled his body. His weakened Aura burst out, but that huge meteor was already in front of him.
The powerful impact of the speed was like a mountain pressing down on Thorne's body. He simply couldn't dodge, and he didn't have the time to dodge.
Thorne's Aura burst out at full power, and he held his greatsword as he ruthlessly slashed at the meteor.
"Rumble …"
Like a thunderclap, a dazzling light blossomed from the greatsword. The greatsword collided with the meteorite, creating a large amount of sparks. The next moment, the meteorite exploded, and Thorne spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew out like a cannonball.
Thorne was like a boulder rolling down a hillside after falling from the waist of the mountain. He rolled twenty to thirty meters before stabbing his greatsword into the ground to stabilize his body.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Thorne's complexion was devoid of color. His armor was already in tatters, and the skin on his left shoulder was covered in a sinister corrosive wound. The hand holding the greatsword was shaking.
'Too powerful!
I'm simply not his opponent … Is this the power of a Peak 8th Rank Archmage?
'His casting speed is frighteningly fast, and the power of every spell is far greater than ordinary spells. Not only is every drop of Acid Rain the size of a fist, but it also carries a wisp of poison, and Exhaustion Ray can also be instantly cast.
'Even the instantaneous Exhaustion Ray can exhaust me for more than three seconds!
'Too powerful …
'Not only will the mission be impossible this time, but I might also be unable to escape …'
Thorne stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood. He understood that he definitely couldn't win this battle. Let alone killing Hoppet, he couldn't even destroy the Teleportation Array.
Now, he could only return alive and spread the news. This was the most important thing, or the Merlin Family would be in danger.
Thorne decisively turned around and joined the battle, only to discover that more than half of the people he brought had died, while the number of Raging Flame Beastmen hadn't decreased much.
Especially those Raging Flame Beastman Warlocks casting in the rear, they had almost no losses.
Despair welled up in his heart.
After ten minutes, the encirclement was even smaller, and those Raging Flame Beastmen were crazily attacking with no regard for their lives.
A warrior of the Merlin Family was torn to shreds, and blood sprayed on the bodies of those Raging Flame Beastmen. This only made the Raging Flame Beastmen even more ferocious.
At this time, the encirclement was only twenty to thirty meters wide. Hoppet made another move, and a simple flaming meteor appeared.
The four-meter-big meteor was burning with raging flames and dragging a ten-meter-long trail of smoke as it ruthlessly smashed into the center of the encirclement.
Thorne roared and swung his greatsword, sending a burst of Aura, but it only managed to shatter the surface of the meteor.
The meteor fell into the center of the encirclement, and the three mages' Mana Shields were instantly torn apart. In an instant, their bodies disappeared under the meteor.
The fierce impact swept up the dust and turned it into a wave that swept through everything. The fragments of the meteor were like several hundred sharp arrows.
In an instant, the Merlin Family suffered disastrous losses.
The last few dozen people were reduced to less than ten in an instant.
Thorne's left arm had turned into a strange shape, and the deathly white bone had pierced through his skin. Thorne was holding his sword with one hand, his face devoid of blood.
Although he had taken advantage of the meteor to rush out of the encirclement, there were only eight people left, and they were all injured. Two of them were seriously injured.
