The same applies to Leo. If the fortress breaks down and he fails to evacuate in time, he could be seriously injured or even killed!
Below the Level Amplification Magic Array was an army of countless roaring slaves, following in the wizard's footsteps and spreading fear to any world that dared to oppose him.
Leo believed that at this moment, countless Level Amplification Magic Array were leading the well-prepared slave army, which was advancing step by step in an orderly manner.
"The wizards' counterattack has reached us. The crisis at Polyhedral Fortress is over. You are free to leave now."
With the entire native army surrounding the fortress gone, Leo's weary but relieved voice came from the secret chamber.
The more than a thousand wizards looked around at the absence of the native army and were momentarily at a loss.
For over a year, they Heavenly Capital, and the sudden relaxation was somewhat disorienting.
The hand gripping the staff remained clenched for a long time, unable to let go!
"Captain, I've prepared a room for you. Please come out and rest for a while."
Ignoring everything else, Kaba rushed to the door of the secret chamber. Their war was over; it was time to rest.
As the great captain who protected their three hundred wizards for over a year, he deserves the best care.
"Um."
With a soft tap from Leo, the door to the secret chamber, which had been sealed for over a year, slowly opened. Beneath his grey wizard robes, Leo, pale-faced, leaning on his Godslaying Staff, slowly walked out.
"I, Hu Hansan, am back!"
As soon as Leo emerged from the secret chamber, a little guy with a smug laugh, skipping and hopping around the fortress, spouting nonsensical words, was running around like a hyperactive patient who had been imprisoned for a long time and was now enjoying the wonderful moment of freedom after being freed from his shackles.
At this moment, more than a thousand wizards looked at the young wizard with curiosity. These wizards who came later had never seen this legendary wizard before. He was surrounded by countless mysterious halos, yet he was so low-key that almost no one recognized him.
Now that they have the opportunity to see it in person, their eyes are filled with anticipation.
His young face was etched with exhaustion, and his eyes were alarmingly red, yet the lingering power of his aura still shocked every wizard.
'Is this the First-Level Wizard single-handedly guarded this fortress for over a year?'
Countless wizards have asked themselves the same question deep in their hearts.
"Lord Leo, Lord Yaoyao,"
Sensing the fatigue emanating from Leo, Benji skillfully enlarged his body, allowing Leo to sit comfortably on his back, while simultaneously greeting Yaoyao was acting like a madwoman inside the fortress.
" Benji, I've missed you so much! We're only separated by a door, but it feels like we're separated by life and death."
Yaoyao instantly appeared on Benji's head, hugging Benji's head and rubbing against it from side to side.
"I miss Leo and Yaoyao Yao very much too."
A long-lost smile appeared in Benji's single eye. He had protected Leo and Yaoyao for over a year without ever leaving the secret chamber. Now that the fortress defense was over, he was free.
"Go on with your business, I won't keep you any longer."
Leo waved and, led by Kaba, went to his resting room. Having suddenly dropped from a level two wizard status that had lasted for more than a year back to First-Level Wizard, Leo was still unable to adapt in a short period of time.
The prolonged battle severely depleted my body, as if every cell in my body had been drained of nutrients, and no more moisture could be squeezed out of the withered tree trunk.
Although his body possessed abundant energy, his sluggish mental energy prevented him from harnessing this magical power.
He can barely see people now; otherwise, if Benji were to intervene, he'd be afraid he'd fall flat on his face.
At times like these, nothing beats a good long sleep!
"Thank you, Master Leo,"
A chorus of thanks rang out from behind, the most sincere gratitude from the bottom of the hearts of all the wizards.
Leo waved his hand and walked into the room without looking back. Benji sat steadily at the door, warily watching every gaze that looked into the room.
"Disperse, disperse. The captain is resting. He's been working so hard for so long, it'll be a long time before he wakes up."
Kaba lowered his voice, afraid that his voice would disturb Leo's rest.
At this point, even if you shouted loudly right next to Leo, he wouldn't hear you.
The moment I saw the bed, my body, which had been stretched to its limit, collapsed onto it, and then I knew nothing more.
During this long, restful sleep, Leo completely forgot about time and everything else. When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't remember who he was or what he was doing for a long time...
Staring blankly at the ceiling, my mind was completely blank, knowing nothing.
" Leo, you're finally awake! I thought you'd left me to report to the underworld on your own."
Yaoyao instantly appeared on Leo's chest, bouncing and hopping around, constantly bumping into Leo with her meager weight.
"... No, how long have I been asleep?"
Upon seeing Yaoyao, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if connected by a soul, and the memory of this event resurfaced in his mind. Leo had recalled everything.
"It's been a whole month. If you weren't still breathing, I would have asked Benji to give you CPR long ago," Yaoyao said softly, with lingering fear and a hint of regret.
"... Artificial respiration?"
These are such ancient words.
Only Benji performed artificial respiration.
Leo recalled Benji's fox-like face...
Looking at Yaoyao's face on his chest, Leo had an urge to slap him away!
"What's the situation outside? Is the wizard counterattack over?" Leo asked, changing the subject from CPR.
"Um... well... I'm not too sure. I'll just hand Kaba over to you and you can ask him yourself."
Faced with Leo's question, Yaoyao Yao's big eyes darted around, her little paws fidgeting nervously, and she mumbled incoherently, unable to utter a complete sentence before disappearing in an instant.
Judging from his state, Leo knew that this little guy had definitely let loose completely during this period and didn't care about the outside world at all.
"Lord Leo, you're awake?"
Yaoyao left, Benji poked his head in, his single eye showing concern for Leo. Although Leo was awake, his aura was noticeably weaker than before.
This means that Leo has not recovered from physical exhaustion; a long, restful sleep has only restored some of Leo mental energy.
"It's alright, I'll fully recover given some time."
Although his physical condition has not been fully examined, Leo is still aware that his severely overworked body has not damaged its core. With more rest and recovery, he should be able to return to his previous peak condition in about six months to a year.
It was during this period that Leo's physical condition became unsuitable for fighting.
"Captain, how are you feeling?"
Before Kaba could even be seen, his urgent voice rang out.
"I'm fine. How's the situation outside?"
Kaba strode into the room and first sensed Leo's body. With the Godslaying Wizard Robe on, he couldn't perceive Leo's specific condition, only a general one. Although the condition wasn't very good, it didn't seem too bad either.
He also used the Polyhedral Fortress's ability to overcome higher levels, but that time it ended quickly and didn't last as long as Leo's.
For over a year, Leo has maintained such a good condition; Kaba can only say that he truly deserves to be called Elemental Body Refinement Wizard!
"Our wizarding army's counterattack is not over yet, but it should be finished in about a month. With over 20 million wizards and 300 million slaves attacking simultaneously, victory is destined for us."
"After the captain rested, the visiting wizards all left, and before they departed, they repeatedly asked me to convey their gratitude to you."
"That means we'll have to stay here for a while longer."
"Yes."
The great battle was not over yet, so he could not return to the command center to submit his mission. He took this opportunity to recuperate.
Kaba continued to handle everything; it wasn't anything major, just guarding against sudden attacks on the fortress by native creatures.
With three hundred wizards present, unless there are multiple level-three native creatures, they absolutely cannot break through the defenses of the Polyhedral Fortress.
Before leaving the secret chamber, Leo had already fully charged the fortress, allowing the wizards to use ray attacks again, giving them considerable offensive power.
My primary goal now is to recover my health.
"The ocean of consciousness has decreased by one-third, physical activity has weakened by 15%, and total mana has decreased by 24%."
Mental Strength: 77, Physical Strength: 90, Power: 84
All of Leo's physical indicators declined, but all within his expectations.
Bottles of potions were poured into his mouth one after another. These potions were gifts from the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard. At first, Leo used the potions frequently.
Since becoming Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, the Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft has provided Leo with a continuous source of energy.
These potions were never used again and were left to gather dust in the Shadow Space. Unexpectedly, an opportunity to clean up the Shadow Space has now arisen.
A warm current flowed from his stomach to every part of his body, making Leo's parched body feel as if it had encountered spring water, and it quickly sprouted and recovered.
The Healing Array on his chest was activated at full power, accelerating his body's recovery.
As for the other magic arrays stimulating cell evolution in the body, they should all be stopped until the body recovers.
Even the accelerated evolution caused by nuclear radiation came to a halt, giving the exhausted body a chance to breathe.
After finishing his body cleansing, Leo took out the Third-Class Wizard Medal access information platform and carefully examined the information on the platform.
The information on the platform was largely the same as what Kaba had said, but Leo could see a more detailed report.
