Frenzied blue fireballs continuously explode among the beast horde, each taking the lives of several Magic Beasts.
But compared to the past, this efficiency in killing is no longer enough to stop the advance of the beast tide, merely reducing its density.
After the beast group halted, those creatures with higher intelligence reorganized the animal horde. Strong and large-bodied creatures moved to the front of the beast pack, followed by a mix of weaker and stronger Magic Beasts.
Finally came those Magic Beasts accustomed to living in groups, possessing coordinated combat abilities.
This formation did not reduce the death of ordinary Magic Beasts but significantly reduced the casualties of high-level Magic Beasts.
Due to the mixed composition with weaker Magic Beasts, each advanced Magic Beast could selectively use nearby beasts as their shields or devour them to recover from injuries.
Moreover, the power of these large Magic Beasts is astonishingly immense, capable of gradually damaging fortified structures despite their Magic-enchanted composite materials.
If left unchecked, the first defense of the fortress city—the walls—will be breached.
"Elite team, move out."
The Battlefield Commander issued an order, and those elite soldiers wearing Alchemy Power Armor, their bodies modified through Bloodline Transformation, started to move.
Wolf soldiers, clad in Alchemy Power Armor and standing three meters tall, walked up the wall via the stairs. Their Life Radiation was so intense it was like a Melter.
The modified werewolves with a Physique Evolution Talent of one were elite warriors. In recent years, the Divine Palace Laboratory transformed thousands of werewolves, nurturing them into Level 3 Creatures.
They possess the best equipment in the Immortal Country world, enjoy the finest treatment, but also endure the harshest training and undertake the most dangerous missions.
"Is this the real battlefield?"
The werewolf removed his helmet, taking a deep breath of the battlefield air. The blood scent in the air made him feel like his body would ignite.
The werewolf opened the box beside him, revealing the weapon inside—a Long-handled Great Sword.
Taking it out from the box, Runes began to illuminate on the Long-handled Great Sword. Then, with a "buzz," golden arcs entwined on the blade.
This knife in the Werewolf Army has a very ordinary name, called the Precision Long-handled Arc Knife. But outside this plain name, it has another name—
The wolf soldier leaped off the wall, the arc blade in his hand cutting a golden trail in the air, resembling a comet’s tail, akin to a flashing Thunder.
The blade flashed by, slicing open half the body of a massive rock giant bear. Its thick rocky shell did not delay its death by a second.
"Praise the Sage, praise the werewolf, this Thunder Light works really well."
The wolf soldier flicked the arc knife, offering praise to the sun in the sky.
"Well, things seem alright."
In the Void, Ulysses’ figure suddenly emerged, leisurely landing on Richard’s left shoulder.
"Except for a fortress disrupted by an attack below, the fortress cities across the battle zone remain very stable."
Richard nodded slightly at his words, saying with some relief, "Stability is good."
To be honest, Richard felt his spirit influenced by the gods’ rules after using the divine feat. Otherwise, why would he worry about those native soldiers’ safety?
As a Wizard, this feeling is excessive. But as a Divine, this emotion is right.
If a Divine does not protect their loyal followers, that Divine will surely head toward decline.
Suddenly, a strong Energy Wave entered Richard’s perception.
Richard exchanged a glance with Ulysses, their bodies instantly disappearing from the original spot. When they reappeared, they were already at Fort City No. 9 in the Second Battle Zone.
In the Space Rift near this city, one, no, a group of enormous creatures were walking out of the rift.
Richard looked at the enormous insect swarm emerging from afar, furrowing his brows involuntarily.
The individual strengths of these bugs are not strong, merely Third Level. But their massive size and sturdy shells indicate that these things are siege tools.
Furthermore, within the insect swarm, Richard felt a strong presence. Undoubtedly, these bugs absolutely have a master, an exceedingly powerful Fifth Level Creature.
Another Energy Wave was transmitted.
Another Fifth Level Magic Beast is coming through.
"Ah, I’ll handle that one. Can you take care of this one?"
Richard exhaled, waving his hand to open a Space Rift.
"No problem, go quickly."
After speaking, he sent a spiritual message into the rift. Soon, a black figure emerged from it.
"My lord, have you finally decided to use me?"
"...Although you’re correct, I always find the way you say it so awkward."
The figure that emerged looked similar to an Earth Goblin, except its entire body was black, as if it were a sculpture carved from coal.
Looking at the advancing insect swarm in the distance, Richard waved his magic wand and ordered:
"Elderly, consume them."
Elderly slightly bowed, his pitch-black body instantly turning into a thick black mist. As a Gestalt Creature that Richard had cultivated since his time in the goblin world, the Swallower of all things, God’s Beast, Elderly finally took to the battlefield.
The black mist traced a dark trajectory through the air, swiftly engulfing a bug as big as a house. In less than a second, the bug disappeared without a trace, while Elderly’s body grew even darker.
"Strange food, my lord, your enemy tastes very odd to me."
Richard looked at the space rift, his figure gradually expanding.
"Odd taste is normal because they’re semi-illusion creatures."
"Semi-illusion creatures?"
Elderly seemed puzzled, but as Richard’s beast, he need not ponder much.
Seeing the swarm before him, Elderly emitted a wave of joyful spiritual energy.
"Finally, I can have an unrestricted feast!"
Then, the black mist spread through the space like ink, and all creatures enveloped within it instantly became part of the mist.
Some magic beasts tried to counterattack, but whether it was fireballs or thunder, rocks or whirlwinds, none had any effect. Even the toxins sufficient to poison Level 3 Creatures became nourishment within the black smoke.
Devouring, proliferating, as a micro Gestalt Creature, Elderly finally displayed its terrifying ability.
While the Second Battle Zone was under the beast swarm assault, other battle zones also began facing the onslaught.
Under the full erosion of the Beast Origin world, the entire Four-Eyed People World was like a sieve, with rifts big enough to allow the Beast King to enter appearing everywhere.
In the First Battle Zone, the Great Wizard titled Coral Sage calmly waved his magic wand. As his wand moved, the entire Heavenly Vault became overcast.
Dark clouds covered the sky, with thunderstorms and fierce winds forcing flying magic beasts to lower their altitude, entering the optimal height for anti-aircraft firepower.
Suddenly, the Coral Sage Great Wizard spun around.
Just fifty kilometers to his right, a new rift was forming. But before it could open much, a gigantic beast claw, ablaze with flames, tore open the rift.
The Coral Sage Great Wizard’s thoughts moved, and a communication witchcraft instantly formed.
"Minister, a Level Six has appeared in the First Battle Zone."
The Coral Sage Great Wizard’s spiritual message, through the communication witchcraft, transformed into a solidified magic wave and entered the signal high towers present in every fortress city.
Then, the information was sent from the signal towers, instantly reaching the Central Tower where the Bronze Spear Great Wizard was located.
"Oh, so a Level Six has arrived so soon?"
The Bronze Spear Great Wizard stood up, his figure instantly disappearing from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was outside the tower, having transformed into a hundred-meter-tall bronze giant. In his hand, the bronze spear that symbolized his title glinted with a sharpness that pierced the sky.
He looked towards the location of the First Battle Zone, and countless runes appeared on his spear. The Rule Power flowed endlessly on the spear, and in the next moment, the Bronze Spear Great Wizard suddenly hurled it in the direction of the First Battle Zone.
The ancient bronze spear hurtled through space, arriving in the First Battle Zone’s sky in an instant. The creature had already emerged halfway; a dragon-like being, but without the dragon’s signature horns and wings.
The creature sensed the arrival of the ancient bronze spear, and its mountain-sized head abruptly lifted. In its reptilian vertical pupils, a hint of fear surged forth.
The gigantic ancient bronze spear descended from the sky, piercing through the creature’s body instantly. Under the erosion of rules, the beast’s body gradually began to bronze.
The Coral Sage Great Wizard watched this scene and exclaimed, "The minister’s bronze rules have strengthened again."
But after exclaiming, he couldn’t help but sigh.
No matter how exquisite the Material World’s rule methods, they could never achieve truth. The advancements of the Bronze Spear Great Wizard in this area indicated he hadn’t devoted efforts to the path of truth.
As a Five Rings Great Wizard, the Coral Sage Great Wizard knew many secrets of the Truth Council. Among those secrets, there’s this saying.
The Truth Council needs balance; the appearance of the Physique Crown has already shifted balance towards the position of the Alchemy Crown. Although the Shaping Power Crown currently serves as the Speaker, many council resolutions are essentially approved by the Alchemy Crown.
If the Alchemy Crown party gains another weight, the balance of power would fall into complete imbalance.
The Wizard Civilization may likely head towards division in this imbalance.
And the Bronze Spear Great Wizard happens to be a wizard of the Alchemy School.
"Ah, power truly is a wonderful thing. Even achieving truth can’t curb the desire for power."
The Coral Sage Great Wizard shook his head, his gaze fixed on the space rift before him. Within the cloud-covered rift, a gigantic silhouette faintly appeared amidst the lightning.
