Chapter 319 The Power of a Level Seven Wizard
On the ground battlefield, Jemin was surrounded by approximately ten thousand wizards, forming a mobile core of destruction.
He activated the [Great Light Phase] array with all his might, unleashing optimized, targeted spells upon the most densely populated areas of the enemy forces. Each flash cleared out a large number of enemies.
The surrounding wizards, like the most loyal guards and sharpest spearheads, either wielded giant weapons that shimmered with enchanted light or drove massive constructs, charging fiercely and forcibly breaking through and tearing apart the enemy lines that tried to approach.
Between maintaining high-intensity firepower, Jemin couldn't help but glance at the wizard legion's group melee charge.
After all, wizards mostly deal damage from a distance, so a group charge like this is quite rare.
In the lower airspace, those level six and five wizards who usually kept to themselves, now faced with a vastly superior number of high-level mechanical creations from the Giant Spirit Realm or mental aggregates from the Mind Realm, showed no fear whatsoever... and rolled up their sleeves!
They either transform into energy giants, punching and kicking, or control giant magical artifacts for close combat, and some even spread their fleshy wings and use their scale-covered claws to tear their enemies apart!
On the main battlefield below, the situation is even more one-sided.
The Giant Spirit Realm Legion, which has always prided itself on combining the advantages of multiple creatures and being skilled in close combat, was as fragile as paper when faced with those seemingly "weak" wizards!
The physical strength, speed, defense, and various bizarre close combat skills displayed by the wizards completely overturned the understanding of the natives of the Giant Spirit Realm.
On high-level battlefields, a wizard in the form of a high-ranking behemoth can smash the war beasts of the Giant Spirit Realm into pieces with a single swipe of his claw.
In low-level battlefields, wizard warriors clad in power armor can easily pierce the thick armor of enemy mechanical units with their metal fists.
Those mental units that excel at mental attacks fared even worse. Their mental energy was often instantly captured and locked onto by a perceptive wizard the moment it was extended, and then suppressed back with even more violent and refined mental energy.
This results in the mental army suffering from mental damage and becoming listless at best, and at worst, its core exploding and turning into nothingness.
The only problem is that clearing out enemies is indeed much slower than when the spells were applied in a flurry of motions.
After all, relying solely on physical means will ultimately require eliminating them with punches, kicks, and guns.
Even when wizards occasionally control giant mechs to fire energy cannons or transform into behemoths to spew beams of light, the range and frequency cannot compare to the previous sea of wizardry.
Therefore, the burden on the shoulders of wizards like Jemin, who can still maintain efficient area-of-effect attacks, becomes exceptionally heavy.
Jemin had to be extra careful and push the output power of the [Great Light Phase] to its limit.
The runes and magical artifacts in the array flickered at an unprecedented frequency, and occasionally, overloaded units burned and shattered in the blinding light.
But he didn't care. The automated factory in his body was running at full speed. The damaged talisman artifacts were instantly recycled, and new units were quickly manufactured to fill the gaps.
In order to further improve output efficiency, he even used his natal magic weapon, the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror.
Relying on the powerful computing capabilities of the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror, it helped coordinate the firing arrangement of the talismanic artifacts in the array, raising his output efficiency to another level.
However, this is followed by terrifying energy consumption.
Behind them, the energy stored in the three metal discs that serve as the core energy source in the array is plummeting at a visible rate.
Jemin had to divert some of his attention, like the most efficient machine, whenever a disc ran out of energy, he would immediately absorb it into his body space and connect it to the large level four elemental pool for emergency recharging, while simultaneously taking out a fully charged disc from the spare storage and instantly replacing it.
He could clearly sense that his output had reached a bottleneck.
It's not that the total energy is insufficient—the large level-four elemental pool inside the body is connected to the elemental plane, and its energy reserves are enormous.
The problem lies in the output power!
The elemental pool that was supposed to power the super-large war construct was now struggling to keep up with the terrifying energy consumption of the [Great Light Phase] overload operation!
"Sure enough, in the end, large-scale wars come down to the most basic resource reserves and energy output..." Jemin realized.
Even the most sophisticated witchcraft is essentially a highly efficient use of energy. Once the consumption reaches a certain level, the foundation determines the upper limit.
Especially in wars between civilizations like this, where high-end combat forces do not intervene, the final outcome is a war of quality.
High in the sky, the battle between Dixon, Kogg, and Sheila had reached its climax.
Dixon's dark golden body moved freely like a ghost amidst the torrent of metal unleashed by Kogg and the mental labyrinth woven by Sheila that was enough to distort reality.
His attacks and the witchcraft he used were the complete opposite: simple, direct, and violent!
With each punch, Kog's massive arm, constructed of high-strength alloy, was twisted and deformed.
As the palm struck, the spiritual entity that Hilla had condensed was shaken, causing ripples to spread and its light to dim.
Kogg has already had three spare battle suits built with enormous resources destroyed, and Sheila's mental core is also riddled with cracks.
The two world rulers had long lost their will to fight under Dixon's pressure, and only one thought remained in their minds—escape!
Finally, they seized the opportunity and smashed another of Kogg's armors with a punch. In the instant before the old power was gone and the new power was generated, they recklessly burned their source and unleashed unprecedented power!
Kogg detonated all the metal fragments around him, creating a destructive storm, while Sheila unleashed a mental shriek powerful enough to freeze souls, temporarily forcing back Dixon and Obolos, who had just hammered two golden baboons into the ground.
The four (humans/animals) quickly reunited.
Looking at the two golden baboons, their fur shaved off, their faces bruised and swollen, and their breaths weak, Kogg's mind raced: "Go! Initiate the emergency escape immediately!"
The two golden baboons were already terrified, but they had been unable to break free from the battle until now.
Now that they had the chance, they immediately activated their civilization's life-saving device—a hyperspace teleportation rune engraved on their bones.
However, the expected spatial fluctuations did not occur.
The four stared at the teleportation runes that were glowing but not working, and an awkward yet deadly silence enveloped them.
"Why...why did it fail?!" A golden baboon pounded its chest in terror, the runes still dim.
Kog and Sheila instantly understood something, and a bone-chilling cold froze their cores.
They suddenly looked up and gazed ahead.
Dixon and Obros, their fists clenched and their faces bearing undisguised savage grins, once again approached like predators eyeing their prey.
"No--!"
The desperate resistance did not last long.
Faced with the absolute power of two seventh-level wizards, Kog and Sheila, who were burning with their lives and struggling to survive, were ultimately severed by Dixon with two hand chops.
The enormous body plummeted downwards like a puppet with its strings cut.
Obolos, relying on the strangeness of his own laws, successfully captured the two golden baboons that were trying to self-destruct their cores.
They were tied together like rice dumplings with black chains and carried in their hands.
He looked at Dixon: "We're lucky to have these two living samples. We should be able to determine the coordinates of the civilization behind them. An eighth-level civilization that excels in physical strength... would be perfect for converting into new cannon fodder units."
Dixon put the corpses of the two world lords into his spatial storage and nodded with a hint of envy.
His gaze then turned to the battlefield below, which was still noisy but already showing signs of defeat.
"It's time to end this."
He spoke calmly, yet his voice clearly reached every wizard's magic network terminal.
The wizard legion, which was engaged in fierce fighting, immediately retreated like a tide, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Meanwhile, the allied forces of the Giant Spirit Realm and the Mind Realm had already discovered the outcome of the high-altitude battlefield.
Without the command and support of the world's ruler, despair spread like a plague.
They didn't even have time to pursue the retreating wizards; the massive army crumbled instantly, falling into utter defeat.
Dixon gazed calmly at the endless fleeing enemy army below and the vast land of the Giant Spirit Realm behind them.
He slowly raised his right hand, and then... gently pressed it down.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling light.
But the instant Dixon's hand swung down, Jemin suddenly felt a lightness in his body, as if some heavy restraint had suddenly disappeared!
He subconsciously looked up...
The scene that came into view was unforgettable for him.
Ahead, the seemingly endless land of the Giant Spirit Realm... vanished!
It wasn't a collapse, nor a sinking, but rather as if the world had been completely erased from its canvas by an enormous eraser!
What should have been a place of mountains, plains, cities, and defeated troops is now nothing but an absolute, profound void.
You can see directly through that huge "gap" to the bizarre and chaotic void beyond the plane, where energy surges!
For a moment, Jemin's mind went blank before he suddenly realized where the feeling of "lightness" came from—this massive plane, with a surface area larger than Jupiter, had half of its substance and mass erased by Dixon's seemingly casual strike!
The sudden loss of mass caused an instantaneous change in the gravity of the entire plane!
silence.
A deathly silence enveloped the remaining battlefield.
Whether they were the lucky coalition forces that remained on the other side or the wizards who were on high alert, everyone was awed by this power that was beyond comprehension and lost the ability to speak.
Gazing at the vast emptiness that stretched across the heavens and the indifferent figure in the void, as detached as a god, only one thought remained in his mind:
"This is... the power of a level seven wizard? Using knowledge to manipulate laws, reshaping planes and erasing worlds in the blink of an eye?"
The outcome of the war was no longer in doubt after this single blow.
