Under Leo's firm orders, the wizard squad that was luring and transforming the slave army, after suffering hundreds of casualties, finally led the hundreds of thousands of slaves toward the Vengeance Giant.
The wizard squad had almost completely wiped out its slaves, leaving only about a thousand wizards. It would be difficult for them to replicate their previous feat of luring and transforming millions of slaves into an army.
Those modified slaves weren't dull idiots; they were cold-blooded killing machines, especially targeting wizards, who had to be killed on sight.
These sorcerers lure these slaves by using themselves as bait; they must run neither too fast nor too slow, like walking on a sword's edge or dancing on the line of death.
But when they lured their army of hundreds of thousands of slaves to the front of the spatial rift, what they saw was a scene that made their scalp tingle.
The Vengeance Giant stood before the spatial rift, gripping its sides tightly with both hands, tearing at the rift as it spewed forth its army of slaves.
If they hadn't been certain that this Great Wizard was truly their teammate, these wizards might have attacked Leo immediately.
The spatial rift was a tactic used by the traitorous Stigmata Wizard to launch a sneak attack on the defensive line. Not only is Great Wizard Leo not considering how to close the spatial rift, but he's also expanding it!
Wouldn't this just bring in even more slave armies?
The spatial rift, which was originally only eighty meters long, has now been torn to a hundred meters, and the surging speed of the slave army is one-fifth faster than before.
Hearing the strained, muffled thuds coming from the Vengeance Giant, it was clear that the Great Wizard was dissatisfied with the spatial rift before him and wanted to expand it further.
"Master, the slave army has been lured here."
A wizard, panting and pale-faced, shouted at Leo that they were all severely exhausted from the repeated battles.
Leo turned around and saw an army of slaves numbering only a few hundred thousand. Although Leo's expression was not visible under the blood mist, his scarlet eyes revealed dissatisfaction.
"Master, we have limited manpower; this is our limit. We've already lost a hundred wizards."
Seeing Leo's dissatisfaction, one of the wizards immediately put on a bitter face and explained.
"Not enough, keep attracting more."
Beneath the blood mist, the Vengeance Giant's chilling voice sent shivers down the spines of all the wizards.
The Vengeance Giant made no mention of their recent rest period, urging them to lure the slave army, clearly not caring whether they would survive; it was more like a mission where death was inevitable.
For a moment, none of the wizards moved.
"Think carefully about the consequences of disobeying orders."
After finishing speaking, the Vengeance Giant continued to tear open the spatial rift. The number of slaves pouring out of the spatial rift was too small to support the operation of the six domains, let alone achieve a stable and continuous increase in the Vengeance Giant's attack power.
Although the number of slaves modified on the main battlefield far exceeded that in the divided space, the density was not as high. The battle lines on the main battlefield were too large, which greatly reduced the density of the slave army.
Leo's six domains require a sufficient number of slaves to effectively convert energy and achieve self-sufficiency.
With the number of slaves decreasing, he needs to make up for the energy consumption in the six major domains on his own.
Leo had already calculated that by killing, absorbing, and transforming three thousand level-one slaves every second, he could achieve autonomous circulation across the six major domains.
Currently, there are only slaves emerging from the spatial rifts and those attracted from the defensive line. While the number seems large, it doesn't actually meet the minimum requirements of the six major domains.
Faced with the Vengeance Giant's blatant warning, these wizards had no choice but to attract more slaves, even if they were unwilling.
They could not defy Leo's authority, and even if they had the idea of complaining, they would have to wait until after the great war.
As for the hundreds of thousands of slaves they had attracted, they were wiped out by Leo within minutes.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of dried-out slag, the most useless residue left after the slaves had been drained of their energy.
The spatial rift had already been torn to a hundred meters, and the self-repairing ability of space prevented the Vengeance Giant from expanding it even an inch further.
The first thing the entire slave army that emerged from the spatial rift saw was a terrifying figure shrouded in blood mist. They then stepped directly into Leo's domain, their numb eyes unaware of what was happening, before being killed by the six domains and having all their energy drained from their bodies.
Leo liked spatial rifts. As long as he placed the six major domains in front of the spatial rift, these slaves would obediently walk in to their deaths without Leo having to control them.
"Master, we plan to set up two defensive lines leading to the spatial rift along the gap in the existing defenses, and use 100,000 wizards and a million slaves to drive all the modified slaves within a thousand kilometers around your location. What do you think?"
Inside the crystal ball was the wizard's cautious proposal. If this proposal had been made by any other wizard, it would have been met with inhuman condemnation. Who could bear the responsibility of such a large-scale army of slaves? But it was precisely because the target was Leo that they came up with such a crazy plan.
The intelligence they gathered indicated that Leo's abilities were related to killing slaves, and that he also possessed large-scale, sustained killing magic, which perfectly matched the requirements of the plan.
Moreover, all the signs Leo had previously indicated that, in order to kill even more slaves, they were quite confident that Great Wizard Leo would agree to the proposal.
"Well done. If conditions permit, we can expand the battlefield. I can accept any slave army within two thousand miles."
The Vengeance Giant rarely revealed a cold smile. If he had 100,000 wizards to cooperate with him, he could amplify the Vengeance Giant's attack power to a terrifying level.
"What if we could attract an even larger army of slaves? Could the master bear it?"
When Leo changed their proposed distance from one thousand li to two thousand li, the wizards in command thought Leo was too crazy. But instead of stopping him, they wanted to be even crazier.
What are you going to do?
"Just like the spatial rift before the master, if they can use it to launch a sneak attack, why can't we teleport our slave army from a more distant location here!"
The Vengeance Giant looked at the spatial rifts, which only processed less than a thousand requests per second. This number of slaves was indeed far from his maximum kill limit.
"I will hold you accountable if there are fewer than twenty spatial rifts," said the Vengeance Giant.
"If there are fewer than twenty, we won't need the masters to come and hold us accountable; we will proactively take responsibility for the failure."
The wizard at the command center happily hung up the crystal ball. Leo's agreement not only solved the problem of their two-thousand-mile defense line, but also took care of other defense lines that were about to collapse.
Such a powerful Great Wizard is simply the most desirable teammate for the command center. If there were more powerful Great Wizard like Leo, there would be no fear of the enemy's army of modified slaves.
"Is this the solution you came up with after sitting in meditation for two days?"
Yaoyao sat inside the ear hole of the Vengeance Giant and asked in confusion.
"If I were to directly confront the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, I would surely die. Sixteen World Lord —not to mention I'm only at level three now, even at level four, I absolutely wouldn't survive."
"I have to drag both sides into this. Only if all the Stigmata Wizard join forces will I have a chance to fight the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard one-on-one."
The Vengeance Giant has a clear understanding of himself. Despite the large number of slaves he can kill on the battlefield, the gap between him and the Stigmata Wizard is still as vast as an insurmountable chasm.
"But you can't defeat the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard even if you fight him alone, right? The Undying Body Stigmata Wizard are said to be immortal, right? Until a way to counter their resurrection is found, he can't kill them either," Yaoyao said worriedly.
"No, I should have a way to control them."
The Vengeance Giant spoke the most earth-shattering words in the coldest tone: Leo claimed to have a solution that even Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard lacked.
"Should be?" Yaoyao's eyes widened. How could someone say 'should' something that concerns life and death...?
"Only by fighting can we know if we can do it." Despite Yaoyao's doubts, the Vengeance Giant was very confident in himself.
"So what are you doing now...?"
"Kill, kill until the Black Skull Stigmata Wizard can't hold on any longer and shows up on his own." The Vengeance Giant spoke as if it were the most insignificant thing in the world.
"A trillion slave army? Are you trying to work yourself to death? Your Bloodline Power can't possibly last that long. The most likely outcome is that you'll exhaust your Bloodline Power and die before you can force Black Skull and the others out." Yaoyao stood inside the Vengeance Giant's ear hole, scratching her head.
Yaoyao thought Leo had gone mad; he actually wanted to kill all the billions of slaves to force out the Black Skull Stigmata Wizard.
That's not ten million, that's a hundred billion!
What a crazy idea! It's like giving yourself an impossible task.
"Yes, there are methods to overdraw Bloodline Power. I've calculated that as long as the command center cooperates with me, I can last for a month."
"You're crazy, crazy, you're crazy."
Seeing Leo's do-or-die attitude, Yaoyao head in anger, as both methods would cause extremely serious damage to her body.
Most importantly, Leo wasn't confident that the Black Skull would appear on its own initiative; he was gambling that the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard would appear.
But if he has exhausted all his methods and the Black Skull still doesn't appear, then Leo will have to withdraw from the battle due to severely depleting his Bloodline.
By then, even if the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard stood before him, he would have no power to take revenge.
Leo remained silent. He had considered Yaoyao's concerns, but this was the best solution he could think of so far.
Based on all the intelligence analysis, it's clear that the wizards in the Wizard World have other intentions and don't actually intend to kill Black Skull.
Otherwise, those sixteen World Lord, most of whom were only at the fourth level, would be no match for the Undying Body.
Although resurrection is possible, there are ways to counter it.
What was the purpose of the Soul-Devouring Seal Stigmata Great Wizard? Wasn't it to seal it away?
The fact that they aren't taking action now clearly indicates they have other plans.
Leo could only guess at the thoughts of those Stigmata Wizard. Even without knowing all the information, he still knew that he had no way to get these Stigmata Wizard to take action on their own initiative.
