To lower-level wizards, his status was that of Legendary Wizard.
But to those Stigmata Wizard, he was just a slightly stronger level three wizard, of no importance whatsoever.
No Stigmata Wizard would change their strategy because of him.
The only way to get revenge is to force them to take action, which requires Black Skull and his men to make the first move.
Once the Black Skull makes its move, these Stigmata Wizard will have no choice but to follow suit.
Based on his own strength, all Leo could do was kill as many slaves as possible to force Black Skull to take action.
Leo didn't believe that Black Skull's slave army could be endless. As long as he killed Black Skull to the point of heartache, to the point that he had to kill him, then the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard would definitely take action.
This is the opportunity Leo wants to create: to get involved himself and use himself as bait.
Whether it will succeed is unclear, but this is Leo's best and only chance so far.
The command center acted swiftly, transporting a large number of wizards and slaves by warship that very day. At the same time, they built Polyhedral Fortress complex along the breached defenses, drawing all the modified slaves towards Leo's location.
Meanwhile, the defenses within a two-thousand-mile radius were all intent on driving the slave army towards this area to alleviate the pressure on themselves.
Furthermore, a space-type wizard opened spatial rifts around Leo. They didn't need to be too large, seventy or eighty meters would be enough, and he opened thirty of them in one go.
These spatial rifts, in conjunction with other defenses on the verge of collapse, would lure large numbers of slaves through spatial channels.
...4000...6000...9000...10000...12000...
Thirty-one spatial rifts were spewing out large numbers of slave armies. These slave armies were unaware of what was happening, and as soon as they stepped out of the spatial rifts, they were attacked from multiple directions.
When the six realms could kill an army of 12,000 slaves every second, the Vengeance Giant no longer cared about the problem of energy conversion.
With over 10,000 kills per second, the six domains no longer require his mana replenishment and can operate on their own. In fact, due to absorbing too much energy, he can even enhance the domain's efficiency. For example, the Gravity Domain can be activated to over 300 times the Gravity.
The more energy absorbed, the higher the activation efficiency of the six major domains, and the stronger the killing effect will be.
It has reached the point where it can directly drain the level two slaves, and at this moment only some level three slaves can remain steadfast within the six domains for a short period of time.
Streams of blood flew toward the Vengeance Giant, each drop seeping into its bone armor.
The attack power increase was initially low due to the limited increase in the number of kills, but it has now begun to increase slowly.
Thirty-one spatial rifts surrounded Leo, swallowing and releasing about 20,000 slaves per second. The number of slaves attracted from the defensive line was not large at first, because slaves within two thousand miles needed to wait a certain amount of time before they could kill their way over.
To maximize Leo's offensive power, the command center completely surrounded the spatial rift, using Polyhedral Fortress complex to prevent the slave army from escaping. They essentially created a dedicated combat platform for Leo using fortifications, fully supporting Leo.
This was a killing fortification group tailor-made for Leo, pushing every single slave that could be lured over to Leo's side without leaving a single one behind.
The 100,000-strong army of wizards responsible for maintaining the smooth operation of the fortifications were all shocked as they looked at the Vengeance Giant in the center of the thirty-one spatial rifts.
Aside from a few exceptional wizards, no one else had ever seen such a terrifying Great Wizard. How could anyone wield a combat system to such an extent?
He was like a gaping maw of abyss, swallowing up the surrounding army of slaves completely, absorbing every last drop.
No matter how much the slaves struggled, once they stepped into the attack range of the Great Wizard Leo, they would surely turn into wisps of black smoke.
Leo's appearance was as if he were saying to all the wizards, "You are all useless, you are all idiots."
The command center was anxiously collecting data from the front lines. After seeing that Leo's kill count was very stable without any major fluctuations, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Leo's consistent kill statistics indicate that the kill plan centered around Great Wizard Leo is entirely feasible.
By relieving the pressure on the battlefield, Great Wizard Leo would allow them to free up more manpower to stabilize the defenses and make other preparations.
Although the battlefield lasted only two months, all the wizards felt the exhaustion of a two-year war. Such a powerful battle had never occurred in previous expeditions.
While Great Wizard Leo is drawing away a portion of the slave army, the frontline combat wizards can take a short break.
For the central wizards in command, the biggest benefit they could offer was already the rotation system, which was something they hadn't dared to dream of before.
Ordinary wizards might still have confidence in this war, but for the wizards in the command center, victory is no longer an option; simply avoiding defeat would be the greatest success.
With hundreds of billions of slaves, their limited manpower simply cannot handle it.
Although Great Wizard Leo could single-handedly rival an entire army of wizards, Leo couldn't fight forever.
The wizards in the command center had their own plans. Master Leo killing one hundred million slaves to alleviate some of the pressure on the front lines was already their greatest hope.
In war, placing all hope in an individual is the biggest mistake of all.
So the wizards on the front lines seemed to relax a little, but the wizards in the command center remained on high alert, constantly vigilant for any possible accidents.
The accident didn't happen quickly, but it wasn't slow either. The fortifications specially built for the Great Wizard Leo encountered an unexpected situation on the third day.
Thirty-one spatial rifts simultaneously exhibited high-energy reactions.
"Master, there are at least one million level-two slaves and one hundred thousand level-three slaves expected to arrive at the battlefield through the spatial rift in three minutes. They intentionally concealed their presence beforehand, only revealing their strength when passing through the spatial rift."
"It's clearly the traitorous Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard targeting you; you must be careful."
"Um."
The wizards in the command center had grown somewhat accustomed to the consistently indifferent voice coming from the crystal ball.
Master Leo seems unaffected by any news he hears; his indifferent attitude suggests that even if the world is shattered, he can remain calm and undisturbed.
Such a large-scale attack by high-ranking slaves was entirely motivated by the determination to kill Master Leo.
Although Great Wizard Leo had demonstrated his extraordinary strength in the battles of the previous few days, the current situation still caused great concern among the wizards who knew the information.
Based on the spatial rift's throughput capacity, Master Leo would be facing 30,000 to 50,000 level-two or higher slaves every second, not including those drawn away from the defensive line.
Including the sudden increase in the number of slaves on the defensive line, Master Leo had to face an attack from an army of about 100,000 slaves every second.
Apart from Master Leo, they had never seen anyone else respond to such intensity with such indifference.
It seemed as if what had arrived was not an army of 100,000 slaves, but rather 100,000 ants.
While everyone was on tenterhooks for Leo, Leo completely ignored the approaching army of slaves. Instead, he held a Tiger Beastmen in his huge hand, as if he were seeing it for the first time, examining it closely from head to toe.
Tiger Beastmen, was only level one. His numb eyes showed no fear in the face of a top-tier powerhouse. Even though his body was held immobile by the Vengeance Giant, he still twisted his head, trying to bite the Vengeance Giant's hand.
Why are you playing with him?
Yaoyao didn't quite understand the Vengeance Giant's behavior. This was already one of the hundreds of slaves he had toyed with. He would grab them and keep looking at them, not missing a single detail of their bodies.
"Bang"
The Vengeance Giant did not answer Yaoyao's question. Instead, he slightly tightened his grip and crushed the pitiful Tiger Beastmen, letting his blood seep into his own bone armor.
"Be careful, the slave army specifically designed to deal with you is coming."
Yaoyao pointed to the slave army, whose strength had clearly increased by one level, that was rushing out of the spatial rift, and reminded them.
The Vengeance Giant floated motionless in the air, unmoved by the sudden increase in the army of second-level slaves.
Conversely, upon learning of this massive army of slaves specifically targeting him, the Vengeance Giant even showed a slight sense of relief.
I'm not afraid of the Black Skull reacting; I'm afraid of it not reacting at all.
The fact that he reacted meant he was paying attention to the situation, and his plan to get involved had succeeded in part.
The six major domains were swept away, and these second-level slave armies and first-level slave armies were indistinguishable and were reduced to withered slag.
The more slaves there are, the more energy can be provided to the six domains.
Leo's domain is a combat system that grows stronger with stronger opponents; the stronger and more numerous the opponents, the greater the power that his domain unleashes.
If we must find an area where these second-level slave armies are stronger than before, it is that they have forced Leo's territory from 6,000 meters to 4,000 meters.
They were only 4,000 meters away from getting close to the Vengeance Giant!
The wizards responsible for holding back the slave army all wanted to offer their highest worship to the unmoving Vengeance Giant.
They saw the vast gap between themselves and the giants as the Vengeance Giant indiscriminately slaughtered the slave army.
This gap isn't between them and the Stigmata Wizard; the Stigmata Wizard are too far removed from them, something they can only see but not touch. None of them would compare themselves to the Stigmata Wizard.
Reaching the level of Level Three Great Wizard is already the lifelong pursuit of most lower-level wizards.
Master Leo's level is only level three. The gap between him and them should be clearly visible, or at least not too large.
But now they stood before the Vengeance Giant, and the difference in their strength was so vast that it didn't seem like the difference between level one/two and level three at all.
