"Alright, I'll make the arrangements. However, the Flame Condensation Stigmata Wizard and the World Lord want to see you to discuss whether we should eliminate the last five Lord of Souls to alleviate the pressure before the great battle begins," Boiling Blood Tyrant Body Stigmata Wizard.
"No need, I've already killed them. I'm currently cleaning up their puppet army, and it should be almost finished in another day."
"..."
As expected, the person opposite the crystal ball fell silent. The Boiling Blood Tyrant Body Stigmata Wizard already had a deep understanding of Leo's actions and strength.
Every time Leo displayed his strength, he assumed that this was Leo's limit. But every time he thought that, Leo would shatter his preconceived notions about Leo.
If he remembered correctly, he and Leo had been separated for less than an hour!!!
In less than an hour, Leo had killed five Lord of Souls of the same level!!
"I'll tell them, you go ahead with your work, we'll go arrange the defense."
Boiling Blood Tyrant Body slammed the crystal ball in a slightly disheveled state. He realized that ever since he came to the Manluo World with Leo to do a mission, he had been in a completely useless state.
Aside from doing the commanding tasks that any Level Three Great Wizard could do, he didn't need to worry about anything else.
Every time a war was about to break out, Leo was able to take care of it several steps ahead of him.
During his years in the Manluo World, aside from acquiring a large amount of resources, he did not achieve a single military merit.
He's Level-Four Body Refinement Wizard, yet his most dangerous battle was merely holding back two Lord of Souls for Leo.
Unable to determine when the army from the Returning Breath World would arrive, Leo raced against time to eliminate the puppet army.
These motionless puppet armies now resemble crops waiting to be harvested, but once the army of the Returning Breath World arrives, they will become enemies posing a serious threat to the wizard army.
But just as Leo had cleared less than half of the quantity, the earth began to shake as if by an earthquake. The energy of the Manluo World that he could sense began to converge, and violent spatial fluctuations appeared. This was the first time Leo had discovered that the amplitude of spatial fluctuations could exceed the fluctuations of energy tides.
Leo looked up at the sky, his pupils instantly contracting.
Black vortexes, tens of kilometers in diameter, appeared in the sky, swallowing the energy gathered from the Manluo World like whales. They seemed to be passages connecting to unknown directions. Just as they were about to drain the energy of the Manluo World, an even stronger aura emanated from them.
Leo recognized this aura; it was the aura of the Returning Breath World. The black vortex connected the Manluo World and the Returning Breath World.
Countless puppet armies surged out of the black vortex like an army of billions of locusts.
An army of countless puppets blocked out the light from the sky, plunging the once bright Manluo World into darkness in an instant!
"The counterattack of the Returning Breath World has begun."
Leo did not choose to fight head-on. He instantly activated the power on his Godslaying Wizard Robe, concealing his aura and figure so that the army teleported from the Returning Breath World could not detect him.
Then he reached into the Shadow Space and pulled out a series of fat bombs, which he threw to the ground. These were atomic bombs made from uranium-235 nuclear material when he was bored.
They purchased too much nuclear material when they were at a lower level. After advancing to level four, there was almost no use for the uranium-235 nuclear material, which Leo used to make atomic bombs.
Faced with the countless puppet armies emerging from the Returning Breath World, it's time to clear out and dispose of these atomic bombs!
Before the thousands of atomic bombs, densely packed with tiny black dots, landed and exploded, Leo stepped back to the wizard's defense line. In the final moment before he left, he saw the instant the nuclear explosion was activated, and the ugly, cobbled-together Lord of Souls walked into the Manluo World from the black vortex.
"I've met the Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard,"
As soon as Leo appeared, two Level-Four World Lord bowed to Leo.
Leo glanced at it; its strength was not weak, much stronger than the Dark Camel People World Lord had been here before. But for him, it was a matter of one move.
His gaze then fell upon the wizard who was slightly nodding and holding a staff. He was surrounded by a rich aura of fire element. The place where he was was almost devoid of other elements in the air. His fiery red hair looked like burning flames. He was Flame Condensation Stigmata Wizard had come to reinforce him.
Leo nodded slightly in goodwill, then immediately said, "Reinforcements from the Returning Breath World have arrived. Prepare for defense."
"So fast?" Boiling Blood Tyrant Body asked in surprise.
"The numbers are enormous, and they'll be here soon. I won't say more, but everyone must be prepared to die in battle. If anyone does anything that disgraces the Wizard Will, don't blame me for killing them first."
Regardless of the previous identities of these reinforcing Stigmata Wizard and World Lord, Leo's authority in the Manluo World was unshakeable; once they arrived, they had to listen to him.
In wartime, he has the right to act first and report later!
"Yes,"
No one objected; both Stigmata Wizard and World Lord completely obeyed Leo's orders.
Leo completely underestimated his influence. Based on his battle record, it was almost impossible to find anyone of the same level who could compete with him for command.
With over twenty, and soon to be thirty, level four Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard are rumored to be the new generation's killing stars.
They were incredibly lucky to be able to fight alongside such a powerful Stigmata Wizard as Leo in the great war.
Leo originally thought that the Lord of Souls's attacking army would arrive in a few days, but he was wrong.
On the afternoon of the same day he returned from the Lord of Souls' stronghold, a massive army of puppets stormed the wizard's defenses.
Monitoring of the Manluo World revealed that the entire sky above the Lord of Souls's stronghold was filled with activated teleportation vortexes, several times more numerous than when Leo dropped thousands of atomic bombs.
It not only connects to the Returning Breath World, but also to other battlefield worlds.
Countless puppet armies came and went, most of them only staying briefly in the Manluo World before leaving from other black vortexes to go to other worlds.
Like those Lord of Souls who appear and then leave, this is the first stepping stone they take after leaving their original world. After a brief stay here, they will immediately head to other battlefields.
However, there were also some Lord of Souls remained in the Manluo World, and upon their arrival, they commanded their puppet armies to attack the wizard's defenses.
Half of the Manluo World was in an environment with extremely weak space, so they didn't need to spend ten days flying over as before. With the joint efforts of several Lord of Souls, they directly crossed space and arrived at the Wizard's defense line.
"In the early stages, the puppet army exceeded two hundred million, but there were only five Lord of Souls," said the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body Stigmata Wizard.
Leo made no comment on this number, because it was meaningless; there was no upper limit to the number of puppet troops.
At this moment, there are 200 million puppets attacking in front of the wizard's defense line, and more are coming in. If these 200 million puppets are a small stream, then the puppet army that is being teleported from the Returning Breath World is a vast ocean.
For every person they kill, they can replenish their puppet army tenfold.
The choice they faced was to keep killing. They shouldn't try to wipe out the puppet army; if they had that idea, they might as well try to kill until the end of their own lives.
As for the number of Lord of Souls, the same logic applies to the puppet army; these five are merely here to command the puppet army.
They weren't there to deal with Leo and his group of Level Four Stigmata Wizard and World Lord; more accurately, they were there to restrain them.
The Manluo World is a small world that can only accommodate twenty level-four combatants at the same time. If it weren't for Leo and the others, the Returning Breath World could fully utilize its twenty slots, continuously sending twenty Lord of Souls from here to jump to other worlds.
However, Leo and his group currently have five level-four combatants, Returning Breath World only has fifteen level-four slots left to utilize.
They can only teleport a maximum of fifteen Lord of Souls at a time. While they need reinforcements in other worlds and must also be wary of Leo and his group,
The native forces of the Returning Breath World could only use a portion of their forces to hold off Leo and his group, buying time for reinforcements from other worlds and preventing Leo and his group from disrupting their teleportation.
The Manluo World has a total of twenty Level 4 slots, five of which are occupied by Leo and his group. Furthermore, five Lord of Souls will be needed to restrain Leo and his group.
The Returning Breath World can only transfer ten Lord of Souls to reinforce other worlds at a time, which is half the strength of previous reinforcements.
This is why the native Returning Breath World was willing to go to any lengths to capture Leo and his group.
Leo limited the speed of their counterattack, reducing it by half.
While the Lord of Souls appear to be jumping around very quickly, this is far from meeting the reinforcement speed desired by other worlds.
This is not a small-scale war, nor is it a war that spans the entire world. It involves thousands of combatants of level four or above and hundreds of worlds. Any small problem could lead to ultimate defeat.
The problem with Leo and the others currently trapped in the Manluo World is a minor one. They are like a clip on a blood vessel in the Returning Breath World, seemingly painless but potentially leading to limb necrosis if left untreated for too long.
Before the puppet army reached the wizard's defenses, it launched its largest-scale attack in an instant without any hesitation.
It was the kind of terrifying force that would disregard any number of puppets, attempting to overwhelm the entire wizard's defenses with a massive army of puppets.
After more than fifty years of construction, and with the addition of a new army of fifty million wizards, the Wizard Defense Line can be said to be impregnable.
Faced with the puppet army's attack, the assault began hundreds of miles away from the defensive line. Various traps and magic arrays had been set up in advance, ensuring that the puppet army would not be able to reach the defensive line without paying a heavy price.
Two hundred million puppet troops simply couldn't break through this wizard defense line; ten times that number would be more accurate.
