Chapter 217 Night Shadow Furnace
Chapter 217
"No! It's not!"
At that moment, the third-level wizard from the Kingdom of Morinia almost instinctively blurted out and denied without hesitation any connection with the Principality of Taino.
He didn't even dare to ask "Who are you?", for fear that an unnecessary inquiry would cause the hand on his shoulder to instantly exert force and wipe him out of the world.
Fear crawled down his spine like frost.
After saying this, his whole body tensed up, like a locked part of a mechanism. Even his breathing became cautious, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
Time seemed to be stretched into a cage from which there was no escape.
Not until his forehead was covered with sweat and his back was soaked with sweat did the hand pressing on his shoulder finally loosen its grip.
At that moment, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and with the soul that had been rescued from the gates of hell, he let out a long breath.
He turned around with difficulty, his neck stiff as if it was rusty.
Only then did he see that there was a young wizard in a black wizard robe standing behind him.
The other person's face was calm and indifferent, like a judge from the abyss, standing there like a high and mighty god.
"Your Mightiness……"
He spoke subconsciously, his tone filled with awe and vigilance, and with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he only sensed three permanent witchcraft marks emerging on the other person's body.
Theoretically, he is on the same level as her.
But just now, the oppressive feeling as cold as death almost suffocated him.
He knew very well that this was definitely not the aura that an ordinary third-level wizard could possess.
This person...hid his strength!
And it was hidden very deeply! Before he could express what he was thinking, the black-robed wizard spoke first: "I ask, you answer."
The voice was indifferent, but it was like a cold blade cutting through the skin, and every word was filled with murderous intent.
"Better be honest. Otherwise your life..."
Before he finished speaking, the grass under Zar's feet moved slightly, and a vague murderous intent suddenly rose.
He could even clearly feel that there seemed to be a poisonous snake hidden under his feet, ready to bite through his defenses at any time and drag him into the abyss of death.
The great wizard Zar's face suddenly changed and he nodded quickly, expressing his attitude of cooperation without hesitation.
Seeing that he understood, Lin En restrained his breath a little and said lightly: "Name."
"Za...Zar."
“Where are you from and what is your purpose?”
"I... I come from the Night Shadow Furnace of the Kingdom of Morinya. I have been ordered to investigate the truth behind the unrest in the Hall of Life... The specific target is the whereabouts and life and death status of the Spirit Eye Wizard..."
In the following time, the two asked and answered each other, as precise and rhythmic as an interrogation.
And after Lin En calmly displayed the pressure and strength that far exceeded his peers.
The great wizard Zar dared not hide anything anymore and told almost everything he knew, revealing all the information about his trip without reservation.
Lin En listened quietly, his expression calm, but his eyes gradually became deep and indifferent.
Between the Kingdom of Morinya and the Kingdom of Eluria, there is a buffer zone, the Principality of Taino.
Originally, each of the two kingdoms had a Morning Star Wizard in charge.
Eluria's is the Soul Eye Furnace, which is controlled by the Soul Eye Wizard; while Morinya's is the Night Shadow Furnace, which is controlled by the Night Shadow Wizard.
These two Morning Star beings feared each other and maintained a delicate balance, so the Principality of Taino was able to become a buffer zone and was not annexed for a long time.
However, now, the sudden "disappearance" of the Spirit Eye Wizard has silently broken this balance.
What really surprised Lin En was that the first person to smell the blood was not the ambitious Night Shadow Wizard, but the group of ignorant third-level wizards from the Principality of Taino.
However, it is understandable if you think about it carefully.
As a Morning Star Wizard, Ye Ying is naturally aware of the terrifying nature of beings of the same level.
Even if the Spirit Eye Wizard disappeared, those of the same level would never act rashly without solid evidence proving that he was dead.
This might be the real reason why the Kingdom of Eluria had never been invaded by other Morning Star Wizards during the period when the Spirit Eye Wizard was "missing".
And when news of the rise of the Temple of Life and the unification of the kingdom spread, the Night Shadow Wizard finally responded.
However, he still did not take action himself, but instead sent Zar, one of his confidants, to find out the truth.
Obviously, he was also wondering:
What force is behind the Hall of Life? They actually invaded the other party's lair when the life and death of the Spirit Eye Wizard was unknown...
"I see……"
Lynn murmured softly, a sharp gleam of thought flashing in his eyes.
Through this conversation, he had completely understood Zar's background and purpose, and temporarily suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.
He did not want to make enemies with a Morning Star Wizard unless it was necessary.
After all, for these Wizard Forge forces, a level three wizard is a pillar-like existence, and killing him easily will only lead to deeper troubles.
After a moment of silence, Lin En turned his gaze and said to Zar calmly:
"I am somewhat interested in the Night Shadow Furnace. Please wait for me on the side. I will come back to discuss with you in detail after I have dealt with the people over there."
When he said this, his tone was emotionless, but his eyes had already passed through the grassland and fell on the two armies confronting each other in the distance.
Zar naturally did not dare to disobey, so he could only nod in agreement and step aside.
Lin En's eyes were like swords, pointing straight into the distance.
He came here today with the intention of killing.
The self-righteous wizard forces in the Principality of Taino must pay the price.
No one who comes today will leave alive!
Just before officially showing up, he took a detour to check the terrain, but he didn't expect to accidentally discover Zar, an outsider.
“It’s a small gain.”
Lin En gathered his thoughts, his black robe fluttering in the wind, and his figure was like a shadow, slowly walking towards the front line of the battlefield.
During the brief conversation between him and the great wizard Zaer, the battle situation on the other side had quietly changed.
Thanks to the encouragement of the great wizard Mu Yu, the morale of the rebels soared. On the other hand, the Hall of Life was slightly suppressed and its momentum was taken away by the opponent.
Realizing this, the three great wizards Helen, Bodo and Mona immediately understood that they could no longer allow Mu Yu and others to control public opinion.
Once the momentum collapses, it will affect the fighting will of the entire army.
Because of this, the Hall of Life acted decisively and took the lead in triggering a war when the momentum was slightly low!
In an instant.
Rays of witchcraft light fell from the sky, like meteors falling to the ground, colorful and dazzling! The wizards of the Hall of Life cast spells one after another, releasing all kinds of lethal witchcraft from a distance; and the army of magic beasts and alchemical creatures under their command surged like a tide, roaring and charging forward, directly attacking the enemy line! This is a war that belongs to the extraordinary world!
Although not as large as the mortal kingdoms with hundreds of thousands or millions of troops,
But the destructive power and shock it brings are far beyond ordinary people's understanding.
The energy fluctuations stirred up by this round of concentrated fire from the Hall of Life alone were enough to destroy a city and bury a million mortal troops! However, the rebels were also composed of wizards, so they could not be easily crushed.
They reacted quickly, casting spells, and monsters and alchemical creations swarmed out, engaging fiercely with the charging force of the Hall of Life! Roars, explosions, elemental vibrations... intertwined into a symphony of extraordinary war! And in the sky, the six great wizards also broke out in a shocking battle.
Mu Yu, Fire Crow and Blood Lion join forces to fight Helen, Bodo and Mona from the Hall of Life.
This was not a battlefield where the charge of an ordinary army could decide the outcome, but a true clash of strong men! At this level, even a third-level wizard had to go into battle personally and go all out.
No one can stay out of it and watch from the sidelines.
Only someone like the Morning Star Wizard who has truly crossed the threshold of qualitative change is qualified to suppress the overall situation and control the universe alone.
Unfortunately, the morning star has not yet arrived in today's battle.
"Condensation ripples!"
The great wizard Mu Yu took the lead and aimed directly at the great wizard Helen.
Both of them are top-notch third-level wizards, evenly matched in strength and with great momentum.
As he shouted, ripples suddenly appeared around him, as if a stone fell into a lake, but there was not a trace of gentleness.
Those were the waves of extremely cold water. The water element twisted and spread under his control. Each "ripple" seemed to be real, containing a terrifying chill that was enough to freeze the soul! These condensed ripples continued to ripple out with him as the center. Each one that passed through the air brought out a sharp sound of ice cracking, as if it could freeze the space.
Even if it is a second-level wizard, once it is touched, the protective magic will collapse instantly!
But faced with such an attack, the great wizard Helen remained calm.
Those old eyes were as deep as the abyss, and even though they were gray-haired, there was not a trace of dullness or retreat.
"Soul-stealing!"
He spoke calmly, and before he finished speaking, a spiritual sword over ten meters long appeared in front of him!
The spirit is like a blade, sharp and angular.
The spiritual power of a third-level great wizard has long been able to materialize and crystallize. The spiritual long sword is like a real thing, with a faint light all over it, and a cold light flickering, and it suddenly slashes out!
This is a kind of witchcraft that is more spiritual. The great wizard Helen did not choose to defend, but decided to attack!
After all, offense is the best defense. What he needs to do is to tear apart the opponent's wave! The target is the condensed wave that is rushing towards him! "Water is the most dangerous element... and also the most gentle element."
The great wizard Mu Yu had a calm expression, and his voice was low and mysterious.
Just when the spiritual sword was about to tear through the ripples, the water flow suddenly changed under his control.
It was no longer fierce, but turned into flexible water threads, like countless agile ropes, bypassing the slashing blows and rolling back in an instant!
Draw a sword to cut off the water, and the water will flow even more! The water flows as you wish, soft yet firm, and unpredictable!
This time, it did not fight hard, but entangled and strangled, trying to bind the spiritual long sword layer by layer and dissolve the murderous intent! In the sky, the water element and the spiritual power clashed fiercely, intertwined and entangled, and the shining light almost illuminated the entire battlefield.
For a while, the strong men competed with each other, and no one could suppress the other.
On the other side, Great Wizard Fire Crow was having a fierce battle with Great Wizard Mona.
One is fire, the other is ice. The elements are in opposition, and the energy is soaring into the sky! The Fire Crow Wizard practices the way of the fire element. With a thought, a raging flame bursts out from the void, burning the sky and boiling the sea, burning all directions!
The great wizard Mona walked on the path of extreme cold. With a thought, a thousand miles of ice froze, and a cold moon condensed in the sky, like the coldness of the sky, suppressing everything! Fire and ice, there is no absolute restraint.
Fire can melt ice, and ice can extinguish fire, all depending on the depth of each person's control over the elements and the level of their realm! In mid-air, the flames swirled and condensed into a giant fire crow that flapped its wings to burn the world, and the roar of the law was mixed in the flames!
The great wizard Mona waved her sleeves lightly, and a cold moon appeared in the sky, as if carved from ice crystals, with a cold and brilliant light, colliding with the fire crow in mid-air! The clash of ice and fire was like the roar of heaven and earth, shaking the sky! On the other side of the battlefield, the great wizards Bodo and Blood Lion had also begun to compete.
Unlike the elemental restraint between Fire Crow and Mona, this battle shows a completely different style.
The Blood Lion Wizard practiced the body training school, with a strong body and witchcraft engraved on his body. Every move he made contained the violent power to tear apart mountains! But the Boduo Wizard was a master of mental illusions. With a thought, thousands of illusions appeared! If you want to get close to him, you must go through the layers of illusions that are difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion before you can get a glimpse of his figure! If he is an elemental wizard, you can still attack from a distance and barely deal with it.
But as a close combat expert, the Blood Lion Wizard had no way to fight back and could only plunge into the fog of illusion.
In mid-air, the Great Wizard Blood Lion was seen circling in the illusion like a trapped beast, constantly trying to break through the encirclement.
The Great Wizard Hakata always kept a perfect distance from him, and was at ease, like a tamer teasing a wild beast, and even seemed a little leisurely, as if he was "walking the dog"! "Don't run away if you have the guts! Fight me head-on!"
The Blood Lion Wizard was furious, his roar was deafening, his eyes were bloodshot, and he almost spit fire! But the Bodo Wizard just smiled coldly.
He followed the path of illusion and spirit, emphasizing a mind as cold as ice, so how could he be moved by a mere provocation? Moreover, he did not say a word, for no other reason.
It was because he knew very well that the reason his opponent roared was that he was trying to lock his position by responding!
The duel between the three-level great wizards was full of swords and sabers! At the top level of combat power, the three third-level great wizards of the Hall of Life and the rebels were evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell who was better.
It can even be said that the Hall of Life has the upper hand.
Great Wizard Helen slightly suppressed Great Wizard Mu Yu, while Fire Crow and Mona were evenly matched.
As for the great wizard Bodo, he almost suppressed the great wizard Blood Lion by relying on his mental illusion's natural restraint on the body refining flow.
In the all-out war among the armies below, the Temple of Life also has the upper hand.
Throughout the Kingdom of Eluria, many forces that have surrendered to the Hall of Life have already spread all over the place, and their mobilization capabilities and foundation are far beyond the reach of the rebels.
Although the rebels received support from the extraordinary forces of the Principality of Taino, they were still inferior in terms of numbers and distribution of combat power.
Therefore, even though the battle seems to be raging and the situation is evenly matched, if time goes on, the balance of victory will eventually tilt towards the Hall of Life!
Whether it's a duel between top wizards or a clash of lower-level troops, the Hall of Life is gradually gaining the upper hand, and victory seems to be at hand!
However, at this moment, the great wizard Helen suddenly noticed something strange.
The three rebel wizards on the opposite side did not seem anxious at all, but instead showed a hint of... calmness? "Something is wrong."
The great wizard Helen's heart tightened. Just as he was thinking carefully, something strange suddenly happened on the battlefield below!
Boom!!! A terrifying aura of witchcraft exploded from the rebel army. A completely condensed third-level witchcraft suddenly descended, like a sharp blade breaking through the air, directly tearing open the Life Hall army formation! It was a third-level great wizard of the rebels who had been hiding until now! The moment the witchcraft broke out, the battlefield was like being struck by thunder, and a large number of people in the Life Hall were instantly turned into ashes, with corpses scattered all over the ground and wailing deafening!
"Damn it! There's another great wizard!"
The great wizard Helen's face changed drastically and her eyes turned cold.
They... fell into the trap!
