Engaging in a higher-level battle is not a common occurrence for Richard.
Such battles entail risks, and as a wizard, putting oneself at risk indicates a lack of experience.
However, this doesn’t mean Richard lacks the courage and strength for higher-level combat.
Gazing at the distant giant serpent, Richard swung his magic wand, gathering immense magic power. The space was ripped by the magic array, with pure fire elements from the Fire Element Territory endlessly coalescing, eventually forming a golden orb of light.
This was Richard’s modified Sun’s Vision. Under the power of the Radiation Rule, the structure of Sun’s Vision was greatly altered. Its stability drastically reduced while its power doubled.
With the addition of the Balancing Hand and the support of the Radiation Rule, the power of this strike had reached an energy level of four million.
Richard waved his wand again, and the golden orb swiftly elongated, transforming into a beam of light within less than a microsecond, speeding towards the giant serpent.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
The giant serpent slowly moved its body, a trace of surprise flashing in its dark yellow eyes.
The next moment, the spell struck.
The serpent’s pale scales melted away under the light like spring snow, and the beam instantly left a transparent wound with a diameter exceeding thirty meters on the serpent’s body.
However, the serpent’s width was several hundred meters tall, and such a meager thirty-meter wound was akin to a pinprick for the serpent.
"Ugh, the most annoying thing is this kind of creature."
Ulysses watched the slowly moving serpent, feeling a major headache.
Although the level-nine creature theory applies to all creatures, innate conditions still lend different characteristics to different beings.
And gigantism is undoubtedly the most troublesome characteristic in battle.
The body’s gigantism brings not only an enhancement in strength but also a significant increase in survival capability.
For example, in the current situation, if the serpent’s body were smaller, the value of this wound would be magnified several times.
The serpent continued its slow movement, leaving a trail like a dry riverbed on the ground. Rock and wood beneath its massive body seemed like dust.
Even after extending several kilometers, the serpent’s body kept emerging.
Richard waved his wand again, the Wizard Dimension Power transforming into runes that traveled across his body, swiftly forming a new rune array.
Soon, the effects of witchcraft descended upon Richard’s soul.
With the support of Wizard Dimension Power, his spiritual power instantly doubled.
"Ulysses, it’s time to unleash your ultimate abilities. If we don’t kill this thing, we surely won’t survive."
Saying this, Richard waved his wand. One by one, space rifts connecting to the Fire Element Territory opened in the air, absorbing sea-like fire elements through the spell brewed within the wand, eventually forming clusters of golden light.
Richard’s complexion was somewhat pale, but his eyes were extremely bright. With his spiritual power doubled, he could control twice as many witchcraft spells.
Soldiers within the fortress stared at the sky in shock, seeing instead eleven suns in their view.
Richard looked at the serpent, a premonition suddenly flashed through his mind. With a thought, ten crystal balls emerged from the flesh of his left palm.
Inside these crystal balls, a golden flame was quietly burning.
The next moment, Richard swung his wand, and ten out of the eleven suns suddenly transformed into beams of light, streaking across the sky like meteors, flying towards the serpent’s body.
If this strike were to land, at least half of the serpent’s body would be severed.
Simultaneously, Ulysses’s form suddenly enlarged as well, wings blazing with black flames unfurled, nearly covering half the sky.
From his mouth, Holy Light merged with black flames, transforming into a strange, special fire.
Then, a resounding crow cry soared into the skies. The strange fire, combining black flames and Holy Light, spewed forth from Ulysses’s mouth. Beneath this flame, even space was burned into nothingness.
Among the gods, this flame was known as the Death Bird’s Cry.
When one hears the crow cry, it signifies that death has arrived.
Facing the full attack from two world masters of the civilized world, the serpent flicked its tongue, emitting a calm spiritual message.
"You resist in vain."
The serpent opened its mouth wide, and a suction force resembling a black hole immediately diverted the direction of both beams and flames. Even Richard and Ulysses were drawn closer by this suction.
However, the battlefield beneath them was more tragic. Tens of thousands of magic beasts were drawn by the suction, falling into the bottomless maw of the serpent. Though most native soldiers were inside the fortress, under this immense suction, the entire fortress city was drawing ever closer to the serpent.
No, this isn’t suction.
Richard looked at the fortress city at his feet, suddenly sensing something amiss.
The structure of the fortress city couldn’t accomplish overall movement; if the suction were truly strong enough, the fortress city should have been torn apart by now.
Moreover, even if the fortress city could withstand this force, his relative position with the fortress city should have changed by now.
As a Five Rings Great Wizard, his resistance to suction should be incomparable to that of an entire fortress city.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Richard’s mind.
He swung his wand, a complex spell structure appeared within his wand.
