Descent
The colossal hand that Impaling Thrust closed here, and an extremely high concentration of magical power suddenly arose in the surrounding environment. This magical power was so dense that it turned into mist.
Ordinary creatures would become drunk after inhaling just one breath, and people with magic intolerance would probably suffocate right here!
The scene was shrouded in mist beneath the red glow of the setting sun, the two scenes being awkwardly superimposed together.
The height of a single giant arm already surpasses that of the most conspicuous Royal Palace in the Imperial Capital. When the two giant arms collide, this spectacle is clearly visible throughout the entire Imperial Capital.
The shockwave generated the instant his palms came together spread outwards at lightning speed, reaching the entire Imperial Capital in the blink of an eye. Even so, his speed did not decrease at all, maintaining an increasingly faster pace as he continued to propagate in all directions.
This was not a simple shockwave. Within its range, all living things froze for a moment as if electrocuted, before looking up at the spectacle in the arena.
At the moment they were engulfed by the shockwave, a message was transmitted to the brains of all living beings, causing them to involuntarily look towards the source.
The message means:
A powerful being is about to descend.
"Hmm?" Pan Sen, the Dungeon Lord, suddenly looked up and asked in confusion.
While debugging the latest character of the Thirty Heroes, the Glory Dungeon Lord Mordin seemed to sense something and looked towards the direction of the Imperial Capital.
"What has happened in the human world?" Chi Ya asked, sounding puzzled, but his expression remained unchanged.
Intelligent beings are so rare that it would be an insult to their intelligence if they didn't cause trouble. He'd seen plenty of them, so he didn't find anything strange about it.
But the commotion this time seems to be the biggest in nearly a century.
The Lord's Room in the Zane Dungeon.
Holding the opened letter from Hai Nisi in his hand, Gong Qiying also sensed the changes in the outside world and muttered to himself:
"It doesn't seem like a dragon to outsiders. Is there something else causing trouble today?"
If the troublemakers aren't in the Zane Dungeon, there's no way to observe or influence them.
"No, why did I subconsciously think about influence? Even if it's causing trouble, it might end up being a good thing. People Iliphis are ultimately a minority."
As he said this, Gong Qiying transferred his consciousness to his body outside the body. At the same time, he heard a rumbling sound and felt the earth trembling beneath his feet.
He looked up and followed the direction from which the sound came.
Where the two arms that Impaling Thrust were located, the ancient arena was slowly collapsing under the influence of an invisible force. Countless people would perish there. Many wisps of spiritual light shot from the ruins into the giant hands.
Ordinary people might not be able to see those fine threads; they only shimmer in Gong Qiying's eyes.
Gong Qiying was very familiar with those things.
That's Spirit Power.
Judging from the scale of the fine threads, they are the Spirit Power flowing out after the death of living beings.
Are there other entities outside the dungeon that can absorb Spirit Power?
"Looks like we've done something bad."
The arena—no, it should be called ruins now.
Tu Erqi coughed up a mouthful of blood, barely managing to maintain her floating posture in the air.
One after another, small Magic Shield emerged from the collapsed ruins, enveloping horrified spectators. There was no doubt that this was the work of Tu Erqi.
Although she hadn't expected the attack to come so suddenly, she did her best to cast Magic Shield on as many people as possible, but even so, she couldn't save everyone.
And was that really an attack? Just now, it felt like there was just a normal, gravity-like fluctuation coming from the giant hand, and then the arena collapsed.
Tu Erqi felt that the fluctuation wasn't an attack, but more like the force of a giant hand on Yuenka's body.
A heartbeat?
Looking at the blood flowing from the ruins, the scattered limbs and the wailing of the wounded, her temples throbbed incessantly, and her anger had reached its peak.
"They don't even care about the lives of ordinary people," he said through gritted teeth.
Among the many professors, Tu Erqi specializes in defensive and Healing Magic, both of which are used to protect life. This naturally means that she extremely hates seeing life disappear needlessly in front of her.
"I don't care what kind of experiment you're doing now, I'll stake my professorship on it and bring you back to the association to be magically sealed!"
Magic sealing refers to imprisoning a magician who has committed a serious crime in a forbidden Magic Array until death, often referred to as life imprisonment.
Don't bring up that ancient thing called the God of Magic of Magic again!
Modern magic is all developed through our own research and knowledge!
"Seth! Help!" Tu Erqi shouted her companion's name.
Seth, a fellow professor who had once entered the Zane Dungeon with Seth, waved his staff, and a verdant hurricane swept the audience, who were protected in an eggshell-like Magic Shield, away from this place.
The audience inside the protective shield were already crying and screaming in terror. It seemed that even the lethargy brought about by the manifestation of dragon blood could not overcome the fear of the impending Scourge.
It seemed that Seth's actions provoked the giant hand, and the gravity that had previously destroyed the arena returned, even bypassing the professors and attacking the spectators who were about to escape.
"Don't even think about it!"
Tu Erqi's magic wand shone brightly, and an unprecedentedly thick Magic Shield instantly enveloped the giant hand. Her face paled for a moment when gravity collided with the shield, but she gritted her teeth and the shield, wrapped in gravity, slammed viciously into the giant hand!
In that short time, the audience members were successfully transported to a place far away from here!
However, the giant hand remained completely still.
"Yuenka is transforming into a non-human creature. His shell is quite hard, and the transformation seems difficult to break. What should we do?" Seth loosened his neatly tied tie, his expression serious.
He knew some knowledge about alchemy. Alchemists always created some strange new species, and there were two essential conditions for the birth of a new species.
Raw materials and containers.
At this moment, Yuenka is the raw material, and those giant hands are the container. If the container cannot be broken, he, who is inside it, will be able to complete his transformation when the time is right and successfully become the God of Magic.
This is too far-fetched. Just thinking about the God of Magic made Seth frown. How could a so-called god be born so simply and easily? Even if Yuenka made a seemingly complicated experimental procedure, it still seemed hasty when connected with "god".
Seth believed that Yuenka might have discovered some ability that would allow him to transform into a powerful species, and mistakenly identified that being as a god.
So what kind of connection could the Warrior Country possibly have with the God of Magic? Yuenka just won't make that clear!
"Try to pry open Yuenka's shell."
Tu Erqi let out a breath and said, "Go contact Professor He De Si. He's better at things like the 'Power Brick Flying' incident. He should be in the Imperial Capital right now."
She herself was to stay here to restrict Yuenka's movements and hold out until the Warrior Country reacted and came up with a countermeasure.
The Warrior Country will definitely deal with Yuenka.
Thinking this, gravity fluctuations emanated from her palms once again, and Tu Erqi exerted her strength to resist.
Another part of the ruins.
King Bontou dug through the rubble and crawled out, panting heavily, looking rather disheveled.
He looked at the strange phenomenon caused by Yuenka, his eyes filled with a mixture of emotions, anger, confusion and doubt.
He had never heard Yuenka mention anything about the God of Magic.
The two have always collaborated on how to ensure the fighting strength of the Warrior Country in a future where Warrior talent is declining, which means spreading magic that is more suitable for the physique of the people.
Therefore, when he heard Yuenka's declaration, he was completely bewildered as to what was happening.
Now, looking at the destroyed arena, the truth of being deceived made his murderous intent towards Yuenka grow uncontrollably.
"Yuenka!"
"Aww—"
The ruins beside them exploded at that moment, and the angry Dragon Roar soared into the sky. In an instant, E'luo had transformed into a dragon, and the Quadrupedal Dragon chieftain "Xiduo" broke free from the shackles of the ruins. The two enormous bodies roared at the giant hand, one shining with golden light and the other as green as jade, both of them being extraordinarily huge.
More notably, E'luo's eyes seemed to be glowing red, and his body was shrouded in a faint black aura, making him look somewhat similar to when he was inside Gui'aoer.
"E'luo, you've become stronger?" Chief Xiduo, the Quadrupedal Dragon, exclaimed in surprise.
"Never mind all that, just kill that mage."
E'luo stared at the giant hand, feeling an inhuman chill emanating from it.
Currently, it seems that Yuenka hasn't done anything to the dragon race, but based on that guy's attitude towards the audience just now, E'luo has ample evidence to judge that he might do something detrimental to them after his transformation.
Another reason that can't really be called a reason is that, for some reason, he had a bad feeling all day, as if his intuition was giving him a warning.
Could it be that his intuition told him something ominous was Yuenka right in front of him?
E'luo is a dragon who always trusts his intuition, and Yuenka's indiscriminate wide-range attack just now was almost a clear indication of hostility.
He's about to go on stage!
Seeing E'luo launch into the air, Xiduo quickly said, "Wait a minute, let's gather the tribesmen first."
"No, this mage might be very strong. Don't let the tribesmen come over."
Otherwise, it will only cause unnecessary casualties.
Xiduo nodded, then let out another Dragon Roar that forbade anyone to approach, ensuring that all the dragons in the Imperial Capital could hear it before catching up with E'luo.
As a veteran player, E'luo undoubtedly possesses legendary-level strength, while Xiduo is a newly appointed clan leader, with less seniority and slightly inferior strength.
The two dragons coiled around the giant arm and ascended into the sky, Yuenka inside also sensed their hostility.
In an instant, an even stronger gravity fluctuation rapidly formed, Furious Rajang towards the two dragons like a raging torrent. Crystal spears, resembling the texture of diatomite, formed above their heads, as if a crystal rain was about to fall. Both attacks exuded power approaching the level of pseudo-forbidden spells, and their power was considerable.
In addition, magical runes suddenly began to slowly appear on the giant arm. Each rune looked like a miniature Magic Array, and the brightness of some of the runes suddenly increased.
The next moment, more than a dozen spells with different effects rushed straight towards E'luo and his group!
Casting over a dozen spells instantly? No one had ever seen anything like it before, not even E'luo was surprised for a moment.
But after the initial surprise, the obvious thought is to dodge. With so many spells and two pseudo-forbidden spells, it's impossible to take them head-on. But where can one hide?
At that very moment, an incredibly thick Magic Shield suddenly appeared on the two dragons, and several dispelling spells met the attacks head-on, instantly annihilating several of the spells.
It's Tu Erqi and Seth who are putting their efforts to the rescue!
"Hmm." E'luo nodded slightly to Tu Erqi, which allowed him and Xiduo to completely evade the attack.
While completely dodging all the magical attacks, E'luo spewed out a torrent of golden breath, Xiduo flapped his wings to shoot out poisonous scales. Both attacks landed squarely on the giant arm on the ground.
The once indestructible rock giant arm actually shattered under the impact of the raging breath, and the places hit by the poisonous scales began to dissolve. The attack power of the two clan leaders is beyond that of ordinary people!
Yes, they can. If Tu Erqi can provide support from the sidelines, the two of them can completely dismantle this thing!
E'luo and Xiduo unleashed even greater violence, showing no mercy. Their fierce attacks were visible throughout the Imperial Capital, and the people trembled in fear under the dragon's might.
The army quickly assembled at this moment, and Bontou was protected in the rear. Under his command, the Dragon Knight Legion and the golem Legion equipped with the giant Boulder Golem excavated from the Boulder Dungeon launched an attack on Yuenka. The scene of a great battle was already emerging.
If Yuenka doesn't do something soon, the container might have to be dismantled.
Just then, the surrounding magical mist suddenly became even denser.
"Hmm!"
Tu Erqi's eyes widened, her magic wand suddenly fell to the ground, and she clutched her neck, breathing heavily as if she were suffocating.
Seth was the same; not only them, but all the mages in the assembled Legion showed the same symptoms!
The magic power within his body was in complete chaos. Let alone using magic, he would probably have to exert all his strength just to stay alive!
What happened?
Tu Erqi struggled desperately but to no avail, feeling her body being assaulted by rampaging magic.
Feeling her life was threatened, she desperately grasped the medium for casting the spell. If her life was truly in danger, she would immediately use [Road Home] to run into the Zane Dungeon!
E'luo was also affected, but his size suddenly shrank several times. With the experience gained from countless battles by the older generation, he chose to directly crash into the space between the two palms at this moment!
He intends to use himself as a weapon to directly attack Yuenka!
Like a shooting star, he crashed into it!
Then, both palms shattered with a deafening crash!
"Huh?" Xiduo, who was standing to the side, was taken aback.
How could it have broken so easily?
The hardness they were working on just now wasn't like this.
But then his gaze darkened, for there was no one in those shattered palms.
Hehehehe.
Suddenly, Yuenka's laughter rang out.
But his location was impossible to determine; it was as if he were omnipresent.
Those two colossal arms that Impaling Thrust were now completely empty inside, leaving only an outer shell.
Where are the things inside?!
The sky darkened completely at that moment, and a dense fog of magic filled the surroundings, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.
Those with weaker constitutions were immediately poisoned by the magic and fell into a coma, while those with stronger constitutions also experienced adverse reactions.
Escape to a place without fog?
That's impossible, because the fog has spread far beyond the Imperial Capital!
It is moving towards the cities surrounding the Imperial Capital!
As the fog expanded, more and more strands of Spirit Power flowed into it, creating a truly spectacular sight.
It was at this moment that people finally discovered where Yuenka was.
Above the sky, Magic Mist formed a face that covered the entire Imperial Capital—the face of Yuenka.
He is this thick fog!
He is everywhere!
I am born!
At the same time, the portal to the Black Rock City's Zane Dungeon flickered, Fudolin and Abei rushed out.
Both of them were panting heavily from the long sprint, but their spirits remained high, as they had a heavy responsibility to fulfill.
"We have to tell everyone what that is right away!?"
Both dragons were dumbfounded when they saw the giant face in the sky.
That's a human face, right? Why is it so big?
Ah, he's starting to breathe towards the Imperial Capital! What is that, an attack!?
Fudolin had initially thought they would be Messengers of Scourge disaster, bringing news of impending doom, but to her surprise...
"Why does it seem like the situation in the Imperial Capital is more urgent?"
