Just as these wizards were waiting for powerful reinforcements from the command center, a figure suddenly appeared from the sky.
A black wizard's robe, a tangled branch in his hand topped with a staff that throbbed like a beating heart, and a small, charcoal-like soul companion perched on his shoulder.
No one could sense his presence or see his appearance. If it weren't for the wizard team having a wizard on guard, they would never have noticed his presence.
However, upon seeing this wizard, everyone immediately stood at attention and offered their most sincere worship.
"I've met the Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard!"
All the wizards immediately bowed, and all the slaves scattered throughout the island lowered their heads deeply, signifying absolute submission.
These wizards never expected that the command center would actually summon this Stigmata Wizard.
Everyone knows that this person, before the mothership even arrived, single-handedly killed two Level-Four World Lord in an instant, demonstrating ridiculously strong combat power!
"Now you all change your original tasks and follow my lead."
After receiving Luoluojia's message, Leo arrived via Shadow Walking. He came in a hurry and did not bring any troops with him, so he could only summon the wizard team present.
"Yes, Stigmata Wizard."
Leo looked into the deep sea and instantly plunged in, with the wizarding team resting on the island immediately following closely behind.
The people Leo was focusing on were actually Hu Jianxing and his group. They were the most likely to be promoted to level two wizards within the academy, representing the academy's elite strength.
Leo didn't want them to die easily on the battlefield like ordinary First-Level Wizard, so he not only arranged for them to be accompanied by relatively strong Gulu Beast, but also asked Luoluojia to keep a close eye on them and contact him immediately if any emergency occurred.
This happened just like that. Hu Jianxing and his team suddenly lost contact while on a mission, and no news came back before they lost contact.
Luoluojia sent other wizards to investigate, but they too had gone missing. Only then did Luoluojia realize the seriousness of the situation.
Given Hu Jianxing's strength and the Level Three Great Wizard he later dispatched, only the World Lord's intervention or the ambush of millions of Water Marsh People could have resulted in a complete loss of contact.
Luoluojia could have sent other wizards to investigate, but fearing that delays might lead to unforeseen circumstances, he immediately reported to Leo.
It might seem like Luoluojia is making a mountain out of a molehill, but if Hu Jianxing and his group really encounter an opponent like the World Lord, then contacting Leo immediately would be the best option.
He could exaggerate the difficulty of the matter and make Leo make a wasted trip, but he absolutely could not allow a misjudgment to lead to the deaths of Hu Jianxing and the others; otherwise, Leo would face more than just accountability.
Deep beneath the sea, Leo unleashed his full mental power, but found nothing.
In the completely dark sea, with no light, only a few schools of fish swam leisurely. When they were enveloped by the aura emanating from the wizard and slave army behind them, they were instantly terrified and fled in panic.
After diving to a depth of 4,000 meters and stepping onto the seabed, no signs of a struggle were found, nor were any figures discovered.
However, Leo sensed a faint residual aura. This was the aura left behind by the Level Three Great Wizard had come to check on the situation earlier. Only a high-level wizard like this could leave behind an aura that lingered for many days as a mark.
The wizarding group behind him had all landed and were quietly following behind Leo.
Leo lightly touched the ground with his feet, his body shrinking to an inch as he moved forward along the direction of the remaining third-level aura.
After traveling more than two hundred miles, a deep trench suddenly appeared underwater, exceeding the length of Leo's perception.
Here, Leo's mental energy seemed to be interfered with, making it impossible for him to accurately perceive the situation inside the trench.
Even Level Four Stigmata Wizard's spiritual power couldn't penetrate it, which is an admission that something is wrong here.
"Found it."
Leo accelerated and instantly rushed into the trench, followed quickly by the wizard squad behind him. Thousands of wizards and an army of 100,000 slaves charged into the trench together.
When Leo entered the trench, the scene before him gave Leo a moment of astonishment.
From the outside, this trench looks just like a normal trench, but once you enter, there isn't a single drop of seawater inside. It's also brightly lit by various lights, making it seem like a deliberately created underwater hollow world.
If that were all, Leo wouldn't be too surprised, but the battle in the trench exceeded Leo expectations.
What he saw was an endless horde of robots filling the trench, slaughtering a small squad of less than a thousand wizards leading a remnant of their slave corps!
The Marsh World isn't a technological world; it's an elemental energy world. How come there are so many robots here?
The small ones are only a little over two meters tall, the medium ones are seven or eight meters tall, and the large ones are tens of meters tall.
Each of them wielded two glowing lightsabers and had several laser-emitting points on their bodies. The battle was completely silent, consisting solely of relentless attacks.
Each laser beam caused the wizard squad's shields to tremble uncontrollably, forcing them to constantly switch defensive wizards.
If it weren't for the bright lights illuminating the trench, the way these lasers are emitted in the deep sea would be absolutely stunning.
And those lightsabers, wielded with incredible speed, formed shields of light that could even block the wizards' magical attacks.
It's clear that these robots put immense pressure on the wizard team; no one could escape the encirclement in the center, and even Level Three Great Wizard was held back by seven or eight level three robots.
Yaoyao rubbed her eyes carefully, wondering if she was seeing things, but no matter how many times she rubbed her eyes, it was indeed countless robots surrounding and killing their wizard team.
The wizarding team behind them rushed in at this moment. When they saw the situation in the trench, their steps faltered slightly, clearly not expecting to see so many robots here.
But seeing the thousands of wizard squads surrounded, they immediately commanded their army of 100,000 slaves to charge forward and engage the robots in a fierce battle.
Leo moved swiftly, arriving in the middle of the besieged wizard squad.
The besieged wizards were Hu Jianxing and his group. At this moment, their slave ranks had been almost completely wiped out. If no reinforcements arrived, they would also be worn down and killed by these robots.
"Dean,"
The moment they saw Leo appear, Hu Jianxing and the others shouted excitedly. Nothing could excite them more than the Dean coming to their rescue.
With the Dean here, these robots are definitely not a problem!
What happened?
Leo casually struck, and a thick bolt of lightning appeared, instantly blasting the first robot to smithereens and sending countless bolts of lightning flying out.
These lightning bolts, as if alive, split off and struck more robots.
When the robot saw the lightning, some parts of its body flashed with light, as if it were trying to absorb the lightning attacks and convert them into its own energy.
However, they did not know that this was an attack released by Level Four Stigmata Wizard. When the dense lightning covered the robots within a kilometer radius surrounding the wizard team, all the robots within that kilometer radius were instantly electrocuted and collapsed.
Their defensive mechanisms, designed to absorb lightning attacks and convert them into their own energy, were instantly shattered the moment they were struck by lightning!
Whether they were level one robots or level two or three robots, none of them could move an inch under Leo's sorcery attack!
"Dean, we were lured here by a giant deep-sea monster, and then these ambushing robot troops appeared and trapped us here," Hu Jianxing explained quickly.
Robots, thousands of meters away in the trench, attacked again, outnumbering the slaves they had brought with them.
All wizards, prepare for the battle to come!
But Leo casually raised the Godslaying Staff, his body surging with magical power. Leo mobilized all the energy within the trench, and small black clouds appeared in the sky above the trench five thousand meters below the surface.
Before the robots could react, each small black cloud flashed with silver light, and bolts of lightning struck down, accurately hitting the robots.
Furthermore, these lightning bolts have a splash effect, affecting and attacking robots nearby as well.
With Leo's strength, even the weakest witchcraft has an attack power of tens of thousands of points.
These robots, with strength between levels 1 and 3, were no match for Leo's lightning attack.
The slave army and wizards who were still attacking the robots could only watch helplessly as bolts of lightning descended from the trench, knocking down swathes of robots before them.
Within a few breaths, they could no longer see a single standing robot in their line of sight.
Leo lowered the Godslaying Staff in his hand, and the dark clouds above the trench disappeared. Within a few thousand meters, only the wizards and the army of slaves remained standing.
In the distant trench, a continuous stream of robots charged towards them. Leo pointed in that direction, and the slave army behind him roared past.
"Go back and report the situation at the command center, and tell the other wizard squads to be on high alert for these appearing robots."
"Yes, Stigmata Wizard."
Some of the wizards collected some robot samples from the ground and quickly flew out of the trench.
Looking at Hu Jianxing and the others who were still by his side, Leo said, "Continue talking about whether you've made any other discoveries."
"Dean, we have indeed made a discovery,"
Hu Jianxing cleaved open the robot's body, revealing a corpse the size of an infant inside. The corpse had been charred by the lightning summoned by Leo, but it was still possible to see that the infant-sized corpse had been in the same pose as the robot before it died, with some wires and pipes connecting the infant and the robot.
Although they are called babies, they are actually a small race that only resembles babies in size.
"Dean, this doesn't seem to be a robot as we understand it; it's more like this baby is controlling this... mecha!"
"Interesting."
The roar of the distant trenches was deafening; the slaves were fighting desperately against the mechs.
