Injured

As the war drew to a close, Saine was located in the western region of the Fortress Main Base.

Originally, Saine was on the southern front, but as the fighting went on, he inexplicably ended up in the west.

So much so that when Saine came to his senses, he realized that his battlefield location had changed.

At this moment, only a dozen or so slave creatures that he had ordered to follow him were with Saine.

The giant plants that had once displayed their might on the battlefield had withered and disappeared half a month ago, leaving only winding, sinewy tree roots.

Saine had used his Flame Blade to slice through these roots, which were noticeably much drier.

He discovered that although the vast majority of the trees were dehydrated and inactive, the roots did not appear to be completely dead.

These giant plants, which helped battlefield Mage around the fortress 'Fortress Main Base turn the tide of war, will now continue their lives in another way.

Even after so much time has passed, the Sea of Vines activated by Master Saine's Luluman magic has become increasingly withered with the end of the war.

In a world with relatively peaceful rules and environment, or a world with a large number of plants and trees, Luluman's "Forest Wrath" magic will definitely have a lasting effect for a long time.

However, the effects of this Sea of Vines still linger.

Especially for the Homeland Being of that Poison Fire Green Flame World, these lush, terrifying, and twisted green plants must leave a deep-seated fear in their hearts.

And this fear will be passed down from generation to generation through the transmission of history and culture. →

Until this area became a forbidden zone feared by all creatures in the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

Such examples abound in the wars of conquest waged by Wizard Civilization.

"Drip, drip..."

Before the pungent, acrid smell of fire and Poison Fire Green Flame World had dissipated, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky around the Fortress Main Base.

The properties of rainwater instantly cleansed the atmosphere of the battlefield.

For the native creatures of the Poison Fire Green Flame World, who are more compatible with fire and lava, these Water Element are very difficult to adapt to.

This intensified their fear and resistance to this "forbidden zone."

But for many Mage in the Wizard World and the vast majority of slave creature legions, the appearance of this light rain washed away their weary minds.

The whole world seemed to have been cleared up.

The plant roots, which had been dried up and lost their vitality, seemed to come back to life after being nourished by this light rain.

Even more lush greenery appeared in every corner of this battlefield.

This vibrant green, representing life, effectively concealed the hundreds of thousands of creatures that had perished on the battlefield, as well as the gruesome and terrifying corpses.

"It probably won't rain in this world for hundreds of years. Only the power of the Great Holy Tower Master can change the terrain and even the climate of a world." Not far from Saine, a Second-Level Magician flying in mid-air remarked with feeling.

Saine also had many thoughts about the arrival of this light rain.

I couldn't help but look towards the horizon in the east.

Although the low-level war around the Fortress Main Base was nearing its end, the battle between his mentor Luluman, and the level four Constructed Magic Puppet was not over.

At the edge of the sky where Saine's gaze fell, amidst the oppressive black clouds, occasional flashes of blue-green light would appear.

It gave the impression that some terrifying lightning was brewing in the clouds.

Saine was somewhat worried about his mentor Luluman's condition.

However, given his current strength, such worries are pointless.

After glancing back at the eastern sky a few more times, Saine continued his battlefield patrol mission.

Although it was called a patrol mission, there was actually very little fighting going on.

The native creatures of the Poison Fire Green Flame World, having left behind at least 400,000 corpses of Flame Creature, fled in all directions in utter defeat.

Not many of those Construct Golem Legion were left behind.

Although shattered metal debris could be seen everywhere on the ground, the actual number of Constructed Magic Puppet lying around the Fortress Main Base should only be around 100,000.

The fortress also dispatched nearly 30,000 Mage and more than two-thirds of its slave creature legion to continue pursuing and annihilating the Construct Golem Legion.

As for how many victories can be achieved, we will only know after some time.

Saine did not participate in the pursuit of the Construct Golem Legion.

On the one hand, he was located west of the fortress, which was already off the main battlefield.

On the other hand, Saine's physical condition also does not support him to continue fighting.

At this time, Saine's physical condition was very poor in all aspects.

His Mental Strength was at an extremely low level, and his Magic Power was almost completely depleted.

These are all considered small.

More seriously, Saine has sustained significant injuries to his chest, left arm, and back, requiring immediate treatment.

Chest injury

The injury naturally came from the Construct Master he had captured.

When Saine used his Mental Strength to look inside, he discovered that two of his ribs were broken, and his lungs were also damaged.

If the injured person were a Knight, with only two broken ribs, he could easily put them back together with a little effort.

But Saine is a Mage, and this kind of internal bone fracture... he felt it would be better to wait until he returned to the fortress and have a minor operation performed in his laboratory.

The larger wound on his left arm came from a Flame Creature, which was entirely of Saine's own making.

He wanted to capture a severely injured level 1 Flame Creature alive, but it turned out he was overthinking it.

The Flame Creature was indeed badly injured, but Saine himself wasn't in much better shape, and at that point, he no longer had any giant plants to help him.

The Flame Creature, in its final moments, delivered a vicious blow to Saine, driven to the brink of death.

If it weren't for Saine's quick evasion and the presence of slave creatures and other Mage nearby providing support, he would have been in trouble.

It's likely that he wasn't killed by the Nesser Civilization's Construct Master, but instead might have been caught off guard by this Flame Creature.

The wound on his back was from an explosion that occurred nearby.

It seems that a Nesser Civilization Constructed Magic Puppet that fell from the sky triggered the self-destruct program. Saine was relatively unharmed, only being thrown a distance by the explosion.

He knew at the time that the nearest Level-1 Magician was in the center of the explosion.

He never saw the Mage alive.

In short, this war was not an easy one for the Mage at the Fortress Main Base either.

The Mage who perished on the battlefield was definitely not limited to the one that Saine saw.

After patrolling for another half month, Saine finally received feedback from the Fortress Main Base.

The base approved Saine's request for leave and set the duration at one month.

A month later, the fortress will continue to assign Saine relevant combat missions.

"Let's go back!" After glancing at the information in the Crystal Ball, Saine said to the dozen or so slave creatures beside him.

The slave creature closest to Saine at this moment was a dark gray Antelope Horned Monster nearly three meters tall.

The Antelope Horned Monster was carrying one of the greatest Spoils of War of this battle for Saine —the Construct Master from the Nesser Civilization.

She was already awake and staring at Saine with her round eyes.
