Such injuries would surely kill any other World Lord, yet the curse continued unabated, carrying a hatred that even the most devastating Marsh World couldn't wash away. This was no longer about using the body to withstand the attack; it was about using the soul to buy time.
I curse you all...
" Starlight Fall Greater Witchcraft!"
Not far away, the Interstellar Wanderer, gritting his teeth Heritos, unleashed his strongest attack with a low growl.
Countless rays of starlight converged into a massive, cool beam of starlight that shot down from the sky, enveloping Heritos.
This time, the enormous starlight did not disappear quickly, but instead enveloped Heritos's existence.
Starting from his head, neck, body, and the fishtail riddled with holes, it was as if someone had used an eraser to wipe away the messy scribbles, erasing all traces of his existence...
As the final fishtail disappeared, the curses in the air also vanished.
With Heritos dead, the curse ceased.
Heritos must have died unwillingly, because he hadn't released all his curses and hadn't killed the evil wizard!
Just a little bit short,
The Interstellar Wanderer's face was ashen, his lips moved several times as if he wanted to say something, but each time he opened his mouth, he silently swallowed his words back.
Leo guessed that the Interstellar Wanderer must want to swear, but due to pride and his usual aloof persona, he was now holding back his anger.
Leo felt the same way; her heart was pounding wildly and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
This is even more terrifying than facing the World Tree directly.
The World Tree could kill him in an instant; he wouldn't even feel any pain.
But what's terrifying about this curse is the process; if it were to be successfully cast, he couldn't even imagine how horribly he would die.
They were so close; they were almost defeated by the last World Lord.
From now on, we must not underestimate any life form. Every life form that can advance to a certain level has its own terrifying aspects.
"We've won. All the World Lord are dead. The Marsh World can be completely conquered by simply cleaning it up step by step."
Leo released the Bloodline of the Earth Giant and returned to human form. His injuries healed rapidly, and his attacks were fully restored in no time.
These injuries weren't inflicted by anyone, but rather from the aftershocks of his entry into the Level 5 battlefield.
Fortunately, these attacks were not directed at him, but were merely aftershocks that slightly exceeded his defensive limits, causing him minor injuries.
The situation just now left him no room for hesitation; he had to kill Heritos even if it meant serious injury.
Seeing Leo speaking to him, the Interstellar Wanderer's expression softened slightly. "Thanks to you this time. If it were any other Stigmata Wizard, even with the Beast Blood Boiling, they would have been doomed to lose."
"Our previous agreement on a 20% share of net profits is no longer suitable for the current situation. I think 30% would be more appropriate."
No matter how angry the Interstellar Wanderer was, he had to treat Leo with a kind and gentle demeanor.
Leo's abilities justify doing this.
Especially when facing the World Tree,
To be honest, he didn't know what to do and was almost in despair, but he never expected that Leo would make the World Tree World Tree in the confrontation with it.
This is why he increased Leo's share by 10%. Without Leo, this mission would have failed 10,000%. If he hadn't known the details of the World Tree and had rashly rushed over, he himself would have likely died here.
But it was precisely because of this expedition that Leo was chosen.
It was Leo who first discovered the problem with the mecha and located the crucial World Tree, allowing them to bring the situation under control before it spiraled out of control.
Furthermore, it was able to turn danger into safety when a level seven Supreme Lord, the World Tree, appeared!
It can be said that Leo is the best candidate for this expedition to the Marsh World. If it were any other Stigmata Wizard, the least likely outcome would be failure, and the worst outcome would be death for all of them!
He really wanted to ask Leo how he managed to make the World Tree retreat, because maybe he could use that trick when he encountered the World Tree in the future.
But since Leo wouldn't say, he couldn't ask her directly.
Information concerning supreme Supreme Lord is extremely valuable; every word carries a hefty price!
"Thank you very much."
Leo did not hesitate to accept the 10% increase in his share, as it was something he deserved.
Anyone who disagrees, let him face the World Tree!!
Let's see who dares to do this!
If he had known beforehand that the Marsh World was being targeted by the World Tree, he wouldn't have come. What Stigmata Wizard would willingly face Supreme Lord? It's like playing a death game with Death itself!
"Next, it's up to the young wizards; they need to earn some battle merits too." The Interstellar Wanderer forced a smile, but the bitterness in his face was something that the smile couldn't hide.
Leo guessed that either the final great sorcery required a high price to activate, or the Interstellar Wanderer didn't want to kill Heritos to the point of nothingness.
However, Leo was more inclined to believe that the Water Element Essence needed by the Interstellar Wanderer was in Heritos. When he wiped Heritos out, he destroyed the Water Element Essence along with him.
The thirty or so drops of Water Element Essence that I obtained at the altar may be the only remaining stock in the Marsh World.
But Leo never mentioned this matter, Interstellar Wanderer were unaware of it either!
"Let them fight on at their own pace; no one will say anything if we go back a little later."
Leo hadn't expected that he could subdue the World Lord of the Marsh World in just ten years.
The original plan was to slowly conquer the Marsh World to buy time, but the progress is faster than conquering the smaller worlds.
If we want to continue stalling for time, we can only use the wizards and let them waste more time in the conquest.
"Then it's settled."
The Interstellar Wanderer mustered his spirits and managed a weak chuckle, then agreed with Leo on a slow and methodical approach to conquering the Marsh World.
Of course, they wouldn't say that to those below them. They would only tell them to be more meticulous in their fighting. Since all the World Lord are dead, they can't continue the massacre. They should start capturing prisoners alive so that the world can recoup its losses.
Capturing prisoners alive takes much longer than a normal battle and massacre.
No one can find fault with this approach, and it also allows us to legitimately delay the process!
The two quickly returned to their respective motherships and relayed the mission of capturing prisoners alive to the wizard army. The merits for killing were reduced, while the merits for capturing prisoners were increased. This way, the wizards who were striving for merits would know what to do.
This is the best time to earn battle merits. The Water Marsh People are greatly weakened by the poison and cannot dive into the deep sea, so this is the perfect opportunity to bend down and pick up battle merits!
After arranging the tedious tasks, Leo began to busy herself with her own affairs.
The first thing, naturally, is the corpse of the World Lord within the Wizard's Ring—two corpses of the World Lord the Marsh World.
One was a level four corpse, and the other was a level five corpse. However, the level five corpse was hit by two full-power mothership shots and was reduced to less than half its original size. It was impossible to determine how much primordial power it still contained.
This corpse originally belonged to Interstellar Wanderer. During the fight against Heliao, it was the Interstellar Wanderer who restricted his movements; perhaps the Interstellar Wanderer was embarrassed to confront Leo.
If he didn't mention it, Leo would just pretend he forgot.
The World Lord is too precious to Leo, as he is the raw material for promoting the evolution of the Shadow Space!
There were also the corpses of two Mecha World 4 mech pilots. Their power was too weak, only reaching the minimum level of Level 4. They were completely controlled by the World Tree, and it was unknown whether they contained the Power of World Origin.
"If the Shadow Space were to devour four World Lord, even if the two World Lord of the Mecha World did not contain Origin Power, it would still take ten years. If they both contained Origin Power, it would take fifteen to twenty years."
"This is taking a bit too long!" Leo muttered.
"That's easy to handle. When you return to the Wizard World, the mothership will be traveling in space for 25 years. That time will be perfect for evolving the Shadow Space," Yaoyao said with a smile.
"You're right, let's do it that way."
Leo nodded, agreeing with Yaoyao's method: the World Lord could not return to the Wizard World through the spatial channel; he had to return in the mothership.
"We still have something very important to do," Yaoyao reminded us.
"What is it?" Leo asked, puzzled.
"Who knows how many mech armies have been hidden in the entire Marsh World? They've all been abandoned by the World Tree, letting others benefit from them. Isn't that a bit of a waste?"
"Aren't you going to create an army of wizard mechs? Such good raw materials can't be found anywhere else. We can capture them, modify them a little, and use them. It will save a lot of money."
Reminded by Yaoyao, Leo instantly remembered that before he found the God's Dwelling, a large army of mechs had been teleported into the Marsh World.
Because they had to close the spatial rift, deal with the World Lord, and the World Tree, they didn't have time to deal with them and had long forgotten about them.
Leo knew what Yao Yao was up to just by looking at Yaoyao giggling face. He said to Yaoyao, "I'm entrusting you with the academy's wizards and a group of Gulu Beast. How many mechs can you bring back?"
"Ten times the quantity,"
Yaoyao held her breath, puffed out her body to make herself look strong, and patted her chest, assuring Leo that for every number of people he gave her, she could bring back ten times the number of mechs.
"Okay, I'll allocate it for you right now."
Just wait for my good news.
Yaoyao in a flash, running outside to greet her army.
Having waited so long for the opportunity to lead a large army, Yaoyao couldn't wait any longer.
Leo smiled as he relayed his orders: the academy wizards scattered throughout the Marsh World were to return immediately.
With a single word from Stigmata Wizard, the wizards below him would be busy for decades—that's the arrogance of power!
With Yaoyao there, along with the academy's wizards and the army of Gulu Beast, Leo wasn't worried that they wouldn't be able to bring back a sufficient number of mechs.
No one would dare to compete with him for the spoils; even Interstellar Wanderer wouldn't quarrel with Leo over such a trivial matter.
No one will blame Stigmata Wizard for indulging in a little bit of their power!
