Melf's Minute Meteors.

The greatest significance of this Spell for Soren is its ability to break through defenses; it can shatter the defenses of almost any enemy, whether it be Dragon, Demon, Devil, Demigod Lich, or even Avatar descended from the Deity. Melf's Minute Meteors can break through their protective force fields, dealing some damage. Perhaps this damage isn't actually high, because these enemies possess incredibly high Damage Reduction, some even exceeding 90%, but as long as damage is inflicted, it means the enemy can be defeated. Ultimately, what's needed is tactical planning.

Back then, when many guilds joined forces to slay a god, they used this third-tier Spell to clear the way.

Pure-blood Dragon are immune to most physical attacks that do not have Armor Piercing properties. Many High-tier Demon and Devil have the characteristic of Immunity to Ordinary Weapons. Theoretically, Demigod Lich can be immune to attacks from +3 Supernatural Weapon. Deity who descend in Avatar Form can be blessed with the power of laws. Only Supernatural Item of +5 or higher can break through their protective force field.

Legendary Item are just too rare.

Legendary Weapon are even rarer; these are all renowned and famous pieces of equipment, mostly in the hands of powerful native inhabitants of the storyline. Therefore, Melf's Minute Meteors's ability to break through defenses holds strategic importance. Furthermore, this Spell receives very little Damage Reduction, allowing it to deal full damage to many enemies.

Therefore, it is also known as the easiest god-slaying element to obtain!

For Soren, obtaining the Spell Scroll of Melf's Minute Meteors was a completely unexpected surprise.

Because this Spell can deal full damage to Spirits, theoretically it can break through the defensive field of Demigod Spirits and ultimately kill some difficult-to-deal-with Demigod Spirits.

Furthermore, it belongs to a nearly lost Spell.

It originated before the Arcane Empire era and remains in the hands of a very small number of Wizard to this day.

Soren carefully put away the Spell Scroll, then looked at Vivian and gestured for the girl to come with him. The nearby buildings were connected, but were in terrible disrepair. There was practically no sign of Hit Points here. Soren circled around briefly, finding no other hidden compartments, before heading towards the Wizard Tower. Thoroughly Search the entire ruins was a troublesome task, and Soren didn't have that much time; he could only explore the area first.

I don't know when.

A Sisi of gray mist rose nearby, and when Soren reached the outer edge of the tribe's settlement, he couldn't help but shudder.

Because he saw a sphere!

No, no, no.

It shouldn't be called a sphere, but rather a dome, like a glass dome. Inside is a large shelf. On the shelf is a Skeleton, but it's not human; it has sharp fangs, thick bones, and horns on its head. Its feet are like a cow's, and a pair of bony Skeleton extend from either side of its spine.

Soren recognized what it was.

He had seen this kind of Skeleton several times before, but always in the Abyss Hell!

Before him lay a Demon's Skeleton, and a rather formidable High-tier Demon at that. If Soren remembered correctly, it was one of the most difficult Demon to deal with: the Balor.

[Challenge Rating 16, CR 21 or higher. Large Outsider (Chaotic, Extraplanar, Evil)]

It is a creature of the same level as a dragon.

The Balor, which Soren was quite familiar with, was the most powerful type of Balor.

"What is the background of the owner of this Wizard Tower?"

Soren stopped in his tracks, reaching out to stop Vivian, who was standing beside him with a face full of curiosity. He whispered, "It's the skeleton of Balor. It looks like it's been dead for a long time! The owner of this Wizard Tower must have been a very powerful Legendary Arcanist. This Balor was clearly captured or summoned by him and then forcibly imprisoned inside!"

Before we even got close to the Wizard Tower, we saw this thing.

Soren's heart sank, feeling that everything before him seemed to be beyond his control.

Legendary Wizard.

A truly terrifying existence!

Legendary Arcanist.

An existence worthy of being compared to Deity!

If someone told Soren that such Wizard Tower contained a "Golem Legion," he would probably believe it. The Legendary Swordmaster's famous battle, the "War of Golems," was caused by someone accidentally activating the high-level Wizard Tower's defensive mechanisms. At that time, more than ten Adamantite Golem, over a hundred Steel Golem, over a hundred Puppet Golem, and hundreds of Clay Golem, Stone Golem, Iron Golem, and so on appeared.

That's enough for now.

Soren stood before the remains of Balor, lost in thought for a long time, before finally saying in a deep voice, "Vivian! Let's stop here for now. I have a bad feeling that the danger here is probably beyond our expectations. It's best to wait for Goria to arrive. After all, she knows more about the Wizard Tower than we do, and perhaps she can enter the Wizard Tower without activating its defenses."

Don't wander in.

Neither Soren nor Vivian could be completely certain whether the [Mythal] existed here.

Simply put, their knowledge is insufficient to discern whether there is something resembling a Bagua formation ahead. If they rashly rush in, they might be hit by a ' Disintegrate ' or teleported into Dimensional Space. The simplest understanding of [Mythal] is that it is a fantasy version of a Bagua formation. If you cannot find a way out of the formation, you can only force your way out.

"Brother, look over there!"

Vivian nodded slightly. Although another voice in her head was clamoring that a mere Wizard Tower was nothing, that she could break it in a minute, the little girl forcefully suppressed that arrogant troublemaker. Vivian's intuition told her that it was dangerous ahead, and she absolutely wouldn't allow Lillian to rush in recklessly. The little girl observed her surroundings, and as the mist in front of her thinned a bit, she seemed to see something and said, "Brother! Those plants over there are so strange!"

plant?

Upon hearing this, Soren focused his gaze. His eyesight was inferior to Vivian's, not because of visual impairment, but because of the difference in their abilities. Soren saw with the naked eye of a mortal, while Vivian saw with a perspective approaching that of Avatar; her Divinity power allowed her to see through illusions and deceptions. However, Soren now possessed Faint Divinity as well, and he gradually saw through the mist before him, then noticed some strange plants.

I'm very familiar with it.

Because these plants are very similar to the mutated Man-Eating Plant he saw in the Material Plane. They don't grow randomly and haphazardly like they do in the Material Plane; instead, they seem to have been pruned and are fixed in certain areas. If he had to describe their growth and distribution, Soren felt it resembled an artificially arranged garden, with the owner planting them in different locations within the garden.

What I was looking at was like the front yard of a mansion.
