Scout wizards are not battlefield wizards. When faced with a crisis, they can choose to survive in order to plan for the future. Their retreat is not considered a failure.
But the moment they opened their eyes and tried to run away, what they saw made them freeze in place!
Apart from them, the entire puppet army within a kilometer radius was dead. Whether they were level one, level two, or level three, they all lay charred and smoking on the ground.
The corpses still crackled with terrifying lightning power, constantly destroying their body structure. Even if there were puppets that were seriously injured and feigning death, they would inevitably die completely under the continuous attacks!
Look at those arcs of electricity flickering on the corpses; they've dissipated considerably, but they still exude a terrifying aura. Even if these puppets could be resurrected, they still couldn't withstand the relentless attacks of these lightning bolts!
As for the Level-Four Lord of Souls they had just reported, the scout wizards could only see a bottomless sinkhole on the spot, with flickering, lingering lightning and flowing lava at its edges...
The Stigmata Wizard who just emerged from the shadows instantly... killed that Lord of Souls!!!
The battle was so fast that they didn't even see what happened, nor did they know when it ended or when the Stigmata Wizard left!
That's too fast!
That's incredible!
"When did such a powerful Stigmata Wizard join the wizarding army? Has reinforcement arrived?"
The scout wizard muttered to himself.
They knew nothing about the Stigmata Wizard level; they had no idea that a mothership had landed in the Gran World, bringing new reinforcements.
However, what they knew was that they had already dealt with a Level-Four Lord of Souls. Without the command of this Lord of Souls on the battlefield, the puppet army's attacks would come to a standstill, greatly reducing the pressure on the wizard army on the front lines.
"Easy to handle,"
Shadow Walking, Leo spoke to Yaoyao Yao with a relaxed smile.
The entire sneak attack was remarkably easy.
First, they determined the identity of the Lord of Souls based on the provided location, and then prepared an attack plan before even leaving the area.
The moment it appeared, the power of fifteen domains tightly bound the Lord of Souls, and then unleashed its strongest thunderous magic.
One wave of attacks took down the Lord of Souls!
Even if it takes two or three kills, he still can't withstand Leo's sneak attacks.
Leo's attack power already far surpassed that of these Lord of Souls. Not to mention a head-on battle, even when the three Lord of Souls ambushed him before, they couldn't do anything to him.
Now that he's turned the tables and launched a sneak attack, how could these individual Lord of Souls possibly be a match for Leo?!
"Once we can pinpoint their location, we can easily take them down."
Having succeeded in the first sneak attack and learned from previous battles, Leo had figured out the Lord of Souls.
" Leo Xi, how about you try your hand at the assassination and sneak attack style? With your strength, if you could create your own sneak attack magic, you might even be able to successfully assassinate someone of a higher level," Yaoyao suggested.
"You make a good point. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll try to get my hands on it," Leo nodded in agreement.
The smoothness of this kind of assassination is much better than a direct confrontation. It gives you the initiative, greatly improves your survivability, and eliminates the need for direct combat, thus reducing a lot of unnecessary danger.
In this World Cluster battlefields, offensive power is not the most important thing; survival is the most crucial.
Leo continued to wander in the shadows, hoping to encounter a Level-Four Lord of Souls.
Unfortunately, even after the second location notification from the Fate Wizard Book appeared three days later, Leo still hadn't found a single one.
[ Gran World: A Level-Four Lord of Souls appeared at location 037:458:13.]
"It's a bit far."
After pinpointing the location of the Lord of Souls, Leo's figure quickly disappeared into the shadows.
This time, it wasn't in the rear of the battlefield, but on the front lines. Countless lives were clashing here, and the sheer number of fallen corpses had turned the land below the battlefield into a swamp of filth.
There wasn't a single speck of soil in the pool; it was all mud formed from the mangled corpses.
It wasn't black, but deep red, and the air it exuded smelled of blood. The wails of souls materialized, causing the fighting beings to suffer the torment of their souls!
The discovery of the second Lord of Souls did not come from a reconnaissance wizard, but from an urgent report from the front lines.
This Lord of Souls himself displayed power at level four, leading a puppet army in a massive slaughter of the wizard troops.
When Leo emerged from the shadows behind him, the wizard army's defensive line had already been pushed forward by five kilometers because of his presence.
Countless puppets followed behind him, like a sharp dagger, tearing through the wizard army's defenses!
Countless slave armies and wizard battle formations charged forward one after another to block his path. Despite their relentless attacks, they could only slow his advance and could not completely defeat him!
The fundamental difference in life forms makes it impossible for lower life forms to compensate for this gap through sheer numbers!
The last thing Leo saw was this ugly Lord of Souls, whose body was covered in countless fine hairs, piercing through hundreds of wizards and sucking them dry!
" Gravity, darkness, confinement, petrification, slowing, slumber, fire, high temperature, lightning, friction, water explosion, spatial distortion, open!"
The twelve major domains instantly opened and enveloped the Lord of Souls. Multiple powerful negative statuses stacked up, causing the Lord of Souls, who was advancing, to become stagnant and unable to move, despite the helplessness of countless slaves and wizards!
The power contained within the domain relentlessly attacked him, causing the Lord of Souls to let out inconsolable screams.
It wanted to attack with its stretchable fur, but under the control of its domain power, the fur became limp and lifeless, like a slug, rendering it ineffective.
However, his screams were about to end.
Because a terrifying Thunderstorm erupted from the Godslaying Staff in Leo's hand.
"Thunderous Destruction Great Spell!"
With a low roar from Leo, countless bolts of lightning appeared in the void around the Lord of Souls, like sharp swords, blasting his entire body into countless pieces. Each shattered piece was then relentlessly attacked by the lightning until it was completely destroyed.
Even the strongest soul was completely shattered.
Under a sneak attack, no Lord of Souls the same level could match Leo!
Leo glanced at the puppet army that had followed the Lord of Souls into the wizard's defensive line, and pointed his finger outwards.
The twelve major domains descended instantly, following the path they had breached the defenses!
With only a five-kilometer defensive line, all the puppets within that five-kilometer radius instantly perished, leaving the wizarding army utterly dumbfounded.
The deaths took many forms, but they were all utterly dead. Even those few who were seriously wounded but not yet dead were immediately torn apart and killed by the horde of slaves that rushed forward.
Leo saw the defensive line return to the hands of the wizard army, and the point beneath his feet disappeared once more.
His task was merely to deal with those Level-Four Lord of Souls; helping the wizard army stabilize its defenses was just a small matter.
"The second one,"
This task might be extremely difficult for other Stigmata Wizard, especially considering that a Level Four Stigmata Wizard has to deal with ten Lord of Souls of the same level, especially on a battlefield where the sheer number of puppet armies can be suffocating for anyone.
But for Leo, this kind of task was exactly what he wanted.
The Godslaying Wizard Robe can conceal his figure and aura, and Shadow Walking can hide him in the shadows. Just as Yaoyao said, the Shadow Talent itself is the best assassin template. It's just that Leo's other strengths are too great, so he couldn't bring out the assassination advantages of the Shadow Talent.
This encounter with the Lord of Souls was the first time Leo had displayed his assassination talent!
As Leo swiftly annihilated the second Lord of Souls, atop a mothership at the rear of the wizard army, Purple-Gold Vine sat regally in the main seat, below whom countless wizards busily directed operations.
Orders were issued continuously, and intelligence reports poured in constantly.
Just as thousands of command wizards were frantically busy, a hurried voice shouted, "Intelligence from the front lines confirms that the second Level-Four Lord of Souls has been instantly killed by Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard."
For a split second, all the busy commanding wizards were stunned by this news. This Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard had already killed the second Lord of Souls, and the information about the second Lord of Souls's location seemed to have just been transmitted.
It seems that the first Lord of Souls Lord of Souls be instantly killed by the Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard was also dealt with immediately after the intelligence was transmitted.
Two consecutive instant kills—is this Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard really that strong?
The wizards possessed an almost instinctive understanding of intelligence, and it appeared that the Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard had powerfully annihilated two Lord of Souls.
But they all knew that the two Lord of Souls could see information that other wizards couldn't.
First, the two Lord of Souls are located more than three thousand kilometers apart, making it impossible for them to coincidentally be near these two locations on two separate occasions.
The ability to instantly kill someone upon receiving intelligence indicates exceptional mobility and the presence of magical abilities akin to spatial teleportation.
The other two Lord of Souls were in different situations. The first one was completely unprepared and was instantly killed by the Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard, which is understandable.
However, the second Lord of Souls was fighting on the battlefield, at the height of his alertness, yet he was still instantly killed by Atomic Control. This means that the strength of the Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard is already an extremely terrifying existence among the fourth level!
Even if it weren't a sneak attack, these Lord of Souls wouldn't necessarily be his match in a head-on confrontation.
"Raise the quest to find the Level-Four Lord of Souls to fifth place, and provide intelligence to the Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard as soon as possible."
As all the commanding wizards were instantly shocked by the truth behind the intelligence, the Grand Wizard of the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata, seated in the main seat, issued an order.
"Yes,"
Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard is the highest-ranking being on the entire battlefield; with a single sentence, he elevated the quest to find Level-Four Lord of Souls to fifth place.
