Bang, bang, bang!
The dull sound of thunder resounded through the sky, occasionally mixed with the crisp sound of bones breaking!
Under the intensive attack of the dark tentacles, Milton's bone armor quickly broke and shattered, turning into broken bones that fell straight down.
The growth rate of the bone armor cannot keep up with the speed of its breaking!
In just three or four breaths, the originally thick bone armor had become broken into pieces, and Milton's figure could even be seen through the dense cracks.
“Damn it!”
Milton was filled with shock and anger. He let out a fierce roar, and the remaining bone armor suddenly shattered into countless pieces that shot in all directions.
These broken bones seemed to contain some kind of corrosive energy. After hitting the hard metal tentacles, they actually created pits on them.
As the numbers accumulated, the surrounding black tentacles were quickly beaten into sieves, and many even broke directly.
Chichichi! The tentacles quickly retracted.
Milton finally got a chance to catch his breath, and only then did he see the attacker's figure clearly.
They were actually four gigantic squid puppets, their jet-black metal bodies shining with a frightening cold light in the sun.
"A puppet that touches the master! How come the signature puppet of the Falling Star Society appears here?"
Milton was surprised when he recognized the puppet's origin.
The Falling Star Society should have perished due to internal strife two thousand years ago, and all the knowledge and inheritance also disappeared along with their Falling Star City. How could there still be puppets? However, reality did not leave Milton time to think, as the Secret Doll Girl soon attacked again.
Four tentacle puppets also crawled out of the house. Their tentacles had grown back at some point, and their surfaces were shining with colorful magical light.
Seeing this scene, Milton's heart sank to the bottom.
There are five wizard-level puppets. Even if he comes with two, they are no match for him!
Wizard Tower, next to the elemental pool.
Su Nan sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the elemental crystal core in his hand, absorbing and assimilating the divine energy inside.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath, his eyes full of joy.
"Finally a breakthrough."
It took nearly three hundred years to finally break through to the crystallization stage.
At this moment, deep in his sea of consciousness, the mental power surrounding the second talent crystal had condensed into grains, surrounding the talent crystal like a star belt, flowing slowly, and was extremely magnificent.
"My mental strength has increased a lot."
A satisfied smile appeared on Sunan's face.
In this way, engraved gems and magical weapons can be further synthesized and strengthened.
[Talent Specialization] and [Spirit Storage] can also be further synthesized and strengthened, or a third spirit seal can be engraved.
But these are secondary. There is only one most important thing in advancing to the second level of crystallization.
"Next, we can construct the third talent crystal model!"
There was a gleam in Su Nan's eyes.
He had already planned for the third talent and was ready to design a talent for ultimate attack.
In recent years, he has also been studying the corresponding talent crystallization model.
After more than five hundred years, the new talent crystal model has been researched and completed.
It was derived from the Falling Star Society's superior talent crystal model, the 'Falling Star'. It used the 'Falling Star' as the original model, and added inspiration from other talent crystal models and magic items on this basis. It took more than 500 years to design it.
Although the specific effect will only be known after the construction is successful, Sunan can be sure that this innate ability will never let him down.
He named it 'Falling Star Shower'.
As a super talent crystal model, the complexity of the 'Falling Star Shower' model is only higher than that of the 'Liquid Metal' and 'Absolute Forbidden Zone'.
However, with sufficient construction potions, Sunan estimates that he will be able to construct the talent crystal model in two years at most.
The key is still the last step of filling up the mental power.
The mental power required to fill the third talent crystal is definitely far greater than the previous two.
Even though the energy particle concentration in the Starlight Continent has now returned to normal, and there is also the buff of a large elemental pool, Sunan estimates that it will take at least four to five hundred years, or even more.
"But after the plane blockade is lifted, we can trade resources with other wizard forces. Maybe we can find items that can speed up the replenishment of mental power, so it won't take so long."
Sunan was in a somewhat cheerful mood.
After calming down the joy brought by the breakthrough, he took a deep breath and prepared to start constructing the talent crystal model.
But at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
When he appeared again, he had already arrived at the study, his eyes fixed on Liz behind the desk.
"What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry to find me?"
Liz didn't answer, but looked at Sunan carefully for a few times, with a faint smile on her face.
"You made a breakthrough?"
"That's right." Sunan nodded, "I received your message right after I broke through."
"Congratulations."
Liz wasn't too surprised.
In Su Nan's case, her understanding of cultivation has been shattered and reshaped many times.
In her opinion, Sunan's breakthrough at this time seemed natural.
After calming herself down, Liz got down to business.
"The wizard of the Darkthrone has arrived."
Su Nan's eyes suddenly fixed: "How many people are here?"
"According to the monitoring of the Star Eye, there are a total of fourteen energy particle fluctuations. The witch hunting team has been dispatched to capture them. We should have accurate information soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Atil walked in from outside.
"Teacher, Lord Xingyun." Atil bowed to the two of them.
Liz asked, "Is there any definite news?"
"Yes." Atil looked excited. "According to the intelligence sent back by the Witch Hunting Corps, eleven of the fourteen energy particle fluctuations were from the wizards of the Dark Throne, and the remaining three were from unrecorded third-level wizard apprentices."
"Including the one we captured earlier, there are twelve wizards in total." Sunan's eyes flashed, "What are their strength levels?"
"They are all first-level wizards, and the most powerful one is a first-level crystallized wizard."
Sunan was certain that the number of people and their strength were the same as he remembered, with no changes.
Liz smiled with a relaxed look and said, "The Dark Throne probably didn't expect that a monster like you would appear in the Starlight Continent and build a wizard force from scratch. So they underestimated the difficulty of conquering the Starlight Continent and sent so few people here."
Su Nan smiled but said nothing.
In fact, a lineup of twelve first-level wizards is enough to conquer some weaker planes.
The Starlight Continent, which had just recovered from the Elemental Desert, was considered a weak plane in the eyes of the Dark Throne, so it was not wrong for them to make such an arrangement.
And the Dark Throne actually sent more than just these few people.
"Don't take it lightly, this is just the first wave of people, the real powerful ones are still to come."
Liz frowned and asked, "Could it be a second-level wizard?"
"More than that." Sunan smiled and said nothing more. He turned to Atil and asked, "Where are those people?"
"They have all been captured by the witch-hunting corps and are currently being held in the detention area."
"Let's go and take a look."
The prison area.
In the quiet and cold prison cell, Andrew sat on the ground with a listless look on his face.
This is a cell specially used to imprison wizards. The floor, walls and ceiling are all engraved with magic arrays that seal mental strength and weaken physical fitness.
In addition, he was also put in magic-suppressing shackles.
The mental power deep in the sea of consciousness has completely died down and cannot be mobilized at all.
Now he is at most stronger than the knight. Not to mention dealing with the heavy guards outside, he can't even break through the specially made cell door bars.
Andrew is still a little dazed.
I thought that invading the Starlight Continent would be an easy feat, but who could have imagined that wizards would appear on the Starlight Continent, and there was more than one.
It caught him off guard.
"Those two guys must be high-ranking members of the Star Alliance!"
Andrew thought back to the two wizards who had defeated him.
Whether it is an intermediate talent crystal or a magical weapon, they are rare in the wizarding world.
In the second-rate wizarding forces, usually only the core high-level ones can hold it.
Since those two people have intermediate talent crystals and magical weapons, their status in the Star Alliance must be high.
Thinking of this, Andrew felt both regretful and annoyed.
If I had known that the Covenant had such a powerful wizard, I should not have separated from my companions.
Fortunately, there are twelve people in total this time, including Evan, a first-level crystallized wizard, so the lineup is strong.
They should notice that I'm missing soon and come to rescue me.
Andrew just didn't believe that the Star Alliance could withstand the joint attack of eleven wizards!
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard heavy footsteps in the corridor outside.
Andrew frowned, thinking that it was someone from the Star Alliance coming to interrogate him. He sneered in his heart and looked up.
But when he saw this, his eyes widened.
I saw a group of steel golems walking to the door of the prison cell, each holding a person with a listless and pale face, obviously seriously injured.
Coincidentally, Andrew was familiar with these people.
Milton, Wilson, Hargreaves, Casper and even Evan, who he had high hopes for!
The first batch of wizards from Dark Throne who entered the Starlight Continent, all eleven of them except him are here!
Andrew's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and his chest was filled with intense horror and disbelief.
He never expected that they would be completely wiped out on the first day of their ambitious return to the Starlight Continent, and all of them would fall into the hands of the enemy! What on earth was going on?
For a moment, Andrew felt as if he were dreaming.
Bang!
The iron gate opened, and the Iron Golem threw the Dark Throne wizards into the prison room one by one, then closed the door and left slowly.
The eleven wizards were already seriously injured, and were suppressed and weakened by the magic circle and the magic shackles. Their physical condition was weakened to the extreme. After the fall, they suddenly felt black in front of their eyes and almost lost their breath.
After lying on the ground for a long time, they gradually recovered and got up with difficulty.
The twelve people looked at each other, bewildered, and for a moment didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Evan spoke in a hoarse voice, breaking the silence.
"How were you all captured?"
Milton smiled bitterly and said, "As soon as I entered the city, I was stopped by a group of iron golems and adamantium golems. Not long after, five wizard-level puppets appeared. I was no match for them, so I was captured by them."
Andrew on the side was suddenly shocked.
Five wizard-level puppets? !
What's going on?
However, what shocked him even more was yet to come: the other wizards also spoke up.
"Me too. Not long after entering the city, I was besieged by five wizard-level puppets!"
"I didn't even enter the town, I was ambushed by five wizard-level puppets in the wilderness!"
"I'm in a worse situation. There are seven wizard-level puppets besieging me!"
After a brief exchange, the cell fell into deathly silence again.
The stagnant atmosphere filled every inch of space.
Everyone's face turned very ugly.
It was obvious that they were attacked not long after each other.
This also shows that the enemy has enough troops to capture everyone at the same time.
Roughly speaking, the enemy sent out nearly sixty wizard-level puppets in this operation! This is definitely an astonishing number!
This also means that a qualified wizard force may have appeared on the Starlight Continent!
Only the wizarding forces have enough ability to refine so many wizard-level puppets.
What puzzled them was that the Starlight Continent had been in an elemental desert for more than a thousand years, and it was difficult to even produce a formal wizard. How did a wizard force emerge? No matter how you think about it, it's incredible! Among the crowd, Andrew was the most shocked.
He originally thought that the Star Alliance had only a few wizards at most, but he didn't expect that there were so many wizard-level puppets! The most important thing is that the Star Alliance was able to refine so many wizard-level puppets, which means that there are very likely second-level wizards in the Star Alliance! Obviously, his guess just now was ridiculously wrong. The two wizards who defeated him were not the so-called high-level wizards of the Star Alliance at all. They were probably just two of the many wizards in the Star Alliance.
The power of the Star Alliance is far stronger than he imagined! Seeing that Andrew hadn't spoken from beginning to end, Evan turned his gaze to him and asked, "Andrew, how were you captured?"
Andrew came back to his senses and said in a hoarse voice, "I was besieged and captured by two wizards."
At this point, he suddenly remembered the information he had obtained from Viscount Cullen's interrogation and quickly told it.
After hearing this, everyone's expression changed at the same time.
Unlike Andrew, they were captured before they had time to collect intelligence, and their understanding of the enemy was only at the guesswork stage. It was not until then that they truly knew of the existence of the Star Alliance.
"Tens of thousands of wizard apprentices and wizard academies. Where on earth does this wizard force called the Star Alliance get so many resources?"
"I think the Star Tower was most likely destroyed by the Star Alliance!"
"What on earth happened in the Starlight Continent in the past thousand years?"
Everyone was filled with surprise and confusion.
Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside.
The sound was faint, obviously not the golem's footsteps.
Everyone's expressions changed and they looked up, and saw a man and a woman walking slowly to the door of the prison cell.
"Nice to meet you, everyone from Darkthrone."
The man in the middle of the two men spoke with a half-smile, looking at them with a playful look. (End of this chapter)
