Instead of immediately contacting other Stigmata Wizard to inquire about the situation, Leo's gaze was fixed on a certain spot on the battlefield.
There, there was a large army of wizards unlike any other.
They were wearing mechs and were unleashing a barrage of firepower.
These Mecha Wizard are none other than the wizards from his Atomic Control Wizard Academy!
The mechs of today are no longer the original mechs of the Mecha World under the control of the World Tree.
Using energy metal that can change form within a certain range as the base material, the wizard mech can transform into various forms.
In short, the Wizard Mech has 36 transformations, allowing it to change into the most suitable mech form based on the opponent and the terrain.
Just like these puppet armies, they have no reason and cannot think, so disregarding other functions, just choose the form with the fiercest firepower and strongest defense.
Combined with the small nuclear fusion reactor that Leo developed for them, it could unleash several times the duration of a battle of the same level.
Combined with the various enhancement arrays engraved on the mechs—whether boosting attack power, strengthening defense, or accelerating energy recovery—their attack power is extremely strong, increasing by 50% to 70% compared to their normal strength.
This approach is a complete copy of the cultivation system of Body Refinement Wizard.
Not only them, but even the Gulu Beast that cooperated with them had simple mecha defenses.
It may seem like just an insignificant piece of equipment, but on such a battlefield, it can greatly enhance their survivability.
Various ranged spells and laser weapons were continuously unleashed, blasting the puppet army in the distance into a flurry of flying debris. Upon closer approach, several long swords extended from the mechs, and in a flash of light, the opponents were sliced into countless pieces.
Although the Mecha Wizard doesn't have the bonuses of the Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, its attack methods are actually somewhat similar to those of the Elemental Body Refinement Wizard.
It could even be said that the mechs in his academy were completely modeled after him, since Leo was the most powerful wizard of his level that these junior wizards had ever seen!
Leo watched as they slaughtered everyone in their coordinated attack. Although they weren't the most outstanding team in the entire battle, no one could ignore this relatively weak but top-ranking wizard team.
The Mecha Wizard advanced in coordination with the entire wizard army, gradually shrinking the puppet army's living space.
During this time, Leo saw wizards whose mechs were shattered and whose bodies were broken, but he did not intervene.
He can save these wizards once, but not a second time.
Only those who survive the brutality of war are qualified to go further.
After concealing his presence and aura and observing the entire battlefield, and concluding that the war would end in about four years based on the current troop strength, Leo finally took out his Fate Wizard Book and contacted the other Stigmata Wizard in his team.
Opening the Fate Wizard Book, one can see that a lot of new information has appeared in the past two years, including several pieces about him.
[ Gran World: Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard, report your location. Proceed to provide reinforcements.]
This message was sent by Leo ten days after he lured the Level-Five Lord of Souls into the Shadow Space.
In other dimensions, Leo can receive information from the Fate Wizard Book, but he cannot in the Shadow Space.
It cannot be received not only in the Shadow Space, but also in the Shadow World.
It seems that the Fate Wizard Book cannot yet cross the boundaries of the real world and enter the Shadow World; this is the limitation of the Fate Wizard Book.
The Shadow Space controlled by Leo is located in the interlayer between the real world and the Shadow World, and is closer to the Shadow World.
When this message was sent, Leo was viewing the memories of the Lord of Souls.
Seeing that Leo did not reply to the message, another message was sent a day later.
[ Gran World: Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard, upon seeing this message, please return to the mothership immediately; a new mission has been assigned.]
When a wizard advances to the Level Four Stigmata Wizard, the Guardian Wizard will give the Stigmata Wizard the Fate Wizard Book, which automatically stores the Stigmata Wizard's aura.
Once Stigmata Wizard dies, it will be reflected in the Fate Wizard Book, and other Stigmata Wizard can see it.
Therefore, even though Leo hadn't sent any messages back for two years, they were certain that Leo wasn't dead, but had only been temporarily out of contact.
Leo lightly touched the ground and instantly disappeared into the shadows.
They reappeared aboard the mothership.
Holding the Godslaying Staff, he walked expressionlessly into the first level of the mothership.
The Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard sat in the middle position, and a look of surprise appeared on his face when he saw Leo walk in from the door.
Before Leo could speak, he blurted out, "You got rid of that Level-Five Lord of Souls?"
"Yes, Captain, Level-Five Lord of Souls is indeed incredibly powerful. He's not someone I can handle right now. It took me two years to get rid of him." Leo's face showed a lingering fear, as if he was still feeling lingering dread from the two years he spent on the run.
"I knew I wasn't wrong about you. When you arrived, you killed three Lord of Souls of the same level, and then killed six more Lord of Souls in the subsequent missions. You also lured away a Level-Five Lord of Souls, greatly relieving the pressure on us in the war."
"Your battle merits have been increased by 0.5 times as promised. You can use them at any time if needed."
"With your current strength, you're already among the top level four. Your future won't stop at level four. I have high hopes for you."
The Purple-Gold Vine were lavish in their praise, showering Leo with compliments.
"Captain, since I missed these two years, I'm wondering if there are any missions assigned to me?"
Looking at Leo's slightly pale face, the Purple-Gold Vine said, "We originally wanted you to share some of the pressure from the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body, but those matters have been resolved. I see you still have some injuries, so rest for a while until you've recovered. We don't need that much time."
"Thanks to our reinforcements, the situation in the Gran World is relatively stable and under our control. Our team currently has no new missions."
"Once the battlefield is completely won and all the puppet armies are dealt with, the war at the Soul Passage will be almost over."
Perhaps because she truly valued Leo, the Purple-Gold Vine talked to Leo a lot more, completely lacking the aloofness she had shown before.
"Then I'll do as the captain says. I'll rest for a while."
Leo responded to the sudden enthusiasm with utmost rationality; maintaining a clear head at all times allowed him to avoid many dangers.
After chatting with the Purple-Gold Vine for a while and getting a general understanding of the great battle that had taken place after he left, Leo found a room and went inside.
At that time, Leo was targeted by Level-Five Lord of Souls. There were only two level 5 combatants on the battlefield: one was the Interstellar Wanderer Stigmata Wizard, and the other was Level-Five Pureblood Blue Dragon. Both of them had opponents and were unable to rescue Leo.
Leo ran away instantly, and the subsequent battle was actually quite simple: the Level-Five Pureblood Blue Dragon tore his opponent apart first.
Then, by helping the Interstellar Wanderer kill another Level-Five Lord of Souls, the last Level-Five Lord of Souls managed to escape.
This ambush was set up to target Leo's assassination attempt on Level-Four Lord of Souls.
In the Returning Breath World, a total of four Level-Five Lord of Souls and three Level-Four Lord of Souls appeared. On the surface, two level-five and three level-four soul masters were killed by the Stigmata Wizard.
In fact, three Level-Five Lord of Souls died, the third of whom died in Leo's Shadow Space!
But such a record was too frightening to be told, so Leo didn't care and couldn't say it. If he did, those Stigmata Wizard would treat him as a level 5 warrior.
Just like when he was at level three, everyone treated him as a level four fighter, without considering how dangerous Leo was each time he fought against Level-Four World Lord.
Therefore, Leo pretended that the matter of killing Level-Five Lord of Souls had never happened, and when asked, he said he didn't know anything about it.
It's highly likely that the Level-Five Lord of Souls had some family matters to attend to and had to go home midway, thus giving him a free life. My own survival was purely due to good luck.
In this battle, Leo appeared to have escaped unscathed, but he nearly exhausted all the energy accumulated in the Shadow Space over hundreds of years.
If Leo wants to kill Level-Five Lord of Souls again in the same way, he will have to wait at least several hundred years until the energy intensity of the Shadow Space recovers to a level sufficient to support Leo in using the Power of Laws to suppress it.
Inside the room,
Leo took out the Fate Wizard Book again to check his battle record.
The rules for calculating battle merits are no longer the same as before; they are now written in a very simple way.
[Battle Achievements: 14.25]
Killing an opponent of the same level earns 1 battle merit.
Leo frowned slightly as he looked at his battle merits, somewhat puzzled as to how they were calculated.
Based on his record of killing 9 Level-Four Lord of Souls, the increase should be 0.5 times, which would be 13.5. Now it's 0.75 more, which means that 0.5 more battle merits were actually calculated, which is equivalent to him killing half a level 4.
When did he kill half of Level-Four Lord of Souls?
"It must have been when the Interstellar Wanderer and I killed those two Level-Four Lord of Souls outside the mothership that I got 0.5 battle merits."
"How many battle merits are needed to check the knowledge system of the Black Skull Stigmata Wizard?"
After reviewing his battle achievements, Leo wrote down what he needed to do in the Fate Wizard Book.
After reviewing the memories of the Level-Five Lord of Souls, Leo had new ideas for his plan, an important part of which was the knowledge system of the former Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard.
Leo still can't forget the image of the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard, whose entire body was made up of skeletons.
Back then, I was too low-level and weak to understand it, but now I can.
Those weren't skeletons; they were individual souls, a different way of utilizing souls!
