The mothership's attack capabilities were exposed, Lord of Souls effortlessly navigated amidst millions of simultaneous energy attacks.
It seems the mothership won't be able to break its own record of killing level 4 lifeforms in this battle!
One mothership after another was destroyed. Even the Lord of Souls used a soul attack. The moment the attack covered the entire mothership, all the low-level wizards inside were instantly drained of their souls and died. The entire mothership remained motionless without suffering any damage.
Without the commanding wizard, the mothership's main and secondary guns ceased firing, and even its protective shields were simultaneously deactivated. The mothership was captured...
Two thousand Lord of Souls launched a frenzied attack around the more than four hundred motherships, destroying them one by one and leaving them without their commanding wizards and powerless.
A beam of energy shot out, followed by a massive fireball that suddenly exploded in space. When the fireball dissipated, only countless fragments remained where the mothership had been...
Some Stigmata Wizard flew out of the mothership to attack the Lord of Souls, but they were immediately and completely suppressed by the larger number of Lord of Souls, either killed or captured alive.
Seeing this, the remaining Stigmata Wizard did not leave the mothership, but instead cooperated with it to resist the Lord of Souls's attack.
The Stigmata Wizard knew long ago that it was impossible to save all the motherships, so they concentrated on no more than fifty motherships, placing them at the very center of the mothership fleet, to buy them a chance to continue their breakout while the other motherships sacrificed themselves.
Despite suffering heavy losses, the mothership fleet continued its rapid advance. Victory would be achieved if they could break through the Lord of Souls's defenses and reunite with the Supreme Lord.
"That's terrible."
Yaoyao watched as the Stigmata Wizard were captured one by one and teleported away through the black vortex, and the battlefield was littered with heavy casualties.
Leo nodded slightly. It was indeed incredibly tragic. The wizarding civilization had never suffered such a great loss before. Not only were the Stigmata Wizard being massacred, but they were also being captured alive by the Lord of Souls and waiting to be controlled.
It's truly tragic!!
However, the Lord of Souls's ability to push the Stigmata Wizard to this extent means their lives are not easy either. When Stigmata Wizard are in dire straits, their attack power is terrifying. For every Saint Mark Wizard the Lord of Souls kills, he has to pay a price of more than three times the number of Stigmata Wizard.
To capture a Stigmata Wizard alive would cost five times more!
Moreover, most of those captured alive were Level Four Stigmata Wizard, with only a few level five wizards and none level six wizards.
The battle lasted only three days, and the Lord of Souls's defenses were dragged hundreds of thousands of kilometers away by the Stigmata Wizard who broke through with the determination to die.
The Stigmata Wizard knew perfectly well that it was impossible to completely rid himself of the Lord of Souls; he could only advance towards the location provided by the War Command while continuing to fight.
The Lord of Souls, with their overwhelming numerical advantage, desperately tried to stop them, but faced with the rampaging Stigmata Wizard, they could only be forced to retreat continuously.
The Level-Six Lord of Souls Commander in Black Soluo's mind was furious as he watched the battlefield deviate significantly from its original position. If the Stigmata Wizard advanced any further, they would truly be clashing with the battlefield of the Supreme Lord.
"The third squad splits into two teams, attack!"
The two thousand Lord of Souls were in reserve, finally set out. At the request of the Level-Six Lord of Souls, they were divided into two parts: one part to block the Stigmata Wizard who were trying to break through, and the other part to intercept the remaining mothership fleet of just over one hundred ships.
Black Soluo's gaze swept over the several Level-Four Lord of Souls around him, and these Level-Four Lord of Souls immediately followed behind Black Soluo, rushing towards the Stigmata Wizard who was breaking through at the forefront.
Black Soluo had long established considerable prestige among the Level-Four Lord of Souls through his reputation, essentially forming his own squad with over a dozen Level-Four Lord of Souls obeying his commands.
This is a manifestation of wisdom. With these Level-Four Lord of Souls sharing his burden and diverting his attention, he can reduce some of the excessive stares.
At this point, the Stigmata Wizard breakout team had dwindled from 432 members at the beginning to only 214 members now, with over two hundred Stigmata Wizard being captured or killed.
Of the two thousand Lord of Souls and two hundred World Lord used to block the escape of this Stigmata Wizard team, only a little over a thousand remain, representing a casualty rate of over 50%.
The last 214 Stigmata Wizard watched as the Lord of Souls unleashed his final power, their faces contorted in a terrifying grimace. The reinforcements of a thousand Lord of Souls could freeze them in place, preventing them from advancing any further.
Three days may not seem like a long time, but the continuous high-intensity fighting over those three days had already left the remaining Stigmata Wizard exhausted and seriously injured.
Unlike Leo, they don't have an inexhaustible supply of energy. They can absorb energy during battle, but the amount of energy they absorb and recover is far from enough to sustain them in high-intensity combat.
There wasn't a single Stigmata Wizard left uninjured, or even a handful with minor injuries. In their efforts to break through, all the Stigmata Wizard were severely wounded and were no longer in their prime.
This is why the clone Black Soluo led Level-Four Lord of Souls to surround these Stigmata Wizard who were already at their limit.
Compared to their severely injured and greatly weakened state, the mothership squadron that appeared to have suffered even greater losses did not experience a significant reduction in combat effectiveness.
It appears that two-thirds of the motherships were destroyed or captured intact, but the remaining motherships were all guarded by Stigmata Wizard.
As long as the mothership's energy pool doesn't run out, its burst attack power will remain stable. With the Stigmata Wizard stationed there to protect it, and working together, it can quickly advance as long as it can block the attacks from the Lord of Souls.
Under the cover of the Stigmata Wizard squadron in front, the mothership fleet still retains considerable combat power.
"Surrender! If you surrender, I, in the great Returning Breath World Will, assure you that you will not be made to suffer."
The Level-Six Lord of Souls was in command of the battle, sent out a soul wave to persuade the enemy to surrender.
"Boom"
His response was a fierce attack from the berserk Blood Blade Giant. Several Level-Four Lord of Souls didn't even see where the attack came from before they were instantly shredded.
The Stigmata Wizard were too lazy to talk to the Lord of Souls. With the war at this point and so many Stigmata Wizard dead, there was absolutely no possibility of peace talks. Expecting them to surrender was simply a pipe dream.
Many of the Stigmata Wizard already wore resolute expressions, their gazes towards the Lord of Souls around them like those of hungry wolves ready to drink their fill of blood.
Almost simultaneously, all the Stigmata Wizard experienced a surge of energy, their bodies radiating an abnormal intensity of energy.
This involves using witchcraft to stimulate the body's last remaining potential, sacrificing physical health for a brief burst of power... and ultimately, mutual destruction!!
Black Soluo, in his clone, led several Level-Four Lord of Souls, constantly searching for a suitable opportunity while encircling them. He kept a safe distance from the Level-Five Stigmata Wizard and Level-Six Stigmata Wizard.
Those Stigmata Wizard have gone mad, all using witchcraft that overdraws their Bloodline Power to recklessly increase their attack power. Lord of Souls who appears before them will suffer the most terrifying attack of their lives.
Countless eager-to-achieve Level-Four Lord of Souls were caught in the aftermath of these high-level Stigmata Wizard' attacks.
The purest and most ferocious attack, even the aftershocks alone could leave Level-Four Lord of Souls completely disoriented.
However, faced with the cold-blooded Level-Six Lord of Souls commander, a large number of Level-Four Lord of Souls were sent up to entangle these high-level Stigmata Wizard.
The Level-Six Lord of Souls Commander felt more heartbroken than anyone else watching the Level-Four Lord of Souls die one after another, but he had no choice but to do so.
The number of Level 5 and Level-Six Lord of Souls wasn't as abundant as imagined. When the Stigmata Wizard unleashed their most powerful attacks, attempting to take everyone down with them, these high-level Lord of Souls had to prioritize their own survival. These were the absolute main force on the future battlefield of the Returning Breath World; it was impossible for them all to perish for the sake of these Stigmata Wizard whose attacks were only temporary.
The Wizard World can accept the death of 1,200 Stigmata Wizard; at worst, it would mean the loss of a quarter of their high-level wizards. Even if those 1,200 Stigmata Wizard die, they can still send out just as many Stigmata Wizard to continue the fight.
However, if the Returning Breath World were to lose all its level 5 and Level-Six Lord of Souls here, it would truly have no strength left to continue fighting the Wizard World.
In order to stall these Stigmata Wizard, the only option is to use the life force of Level-Four Lord of Souls to wear down their burst damage time.
As long as we can get through this period of Stigmata Wizard's burst damage, then the level 5 and Level-Six Lord of Souls can quickly step forward and finish off the Stigmata Wizard whose strength has been greatly reduced.
This isn't Level-Six Lord of Souls look down on these newly promoted Level-Four Lord of Souls; it's simply a necessary expenditure on the battlefield.
The mass production plan of the Returning Breath World continues; even if this batch of Level-Four Lord of Souls dies, another batch will follow!
However, there is an exception among all the Level-Four Lord of Souls, and that is Black Soluo!
Black Soluo completely ignored the constant urging from the Level-Six Lord of Souls. Even with the threat of post-battle punishment, he refused to rush forward and fight those Level-Five Stigmata Wizard.
Whether they'd survive charging in was another matter entirely, let alone any talk of post-war punishment!
However, faced with the Level-Six Lord of Souls's almost cursing and swearing, Black Soluo still had to put on a show to avoid giving others ammunition to criticize him.
Looking at the Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard, wielding a longsword opposite him, Black Soluo grinned wickedly.
Among the Stigmata Wizard who had already lost half their strength, the number of Level Four Stigmata Wizard was pitifully small. They were the weakest and suffered the most severe losses. Meanwhile, the Sword Bearer, Stigmata Wizard whom Leo knew but did not have any goodwill towards, was still holding firm on the battlefield.
Black Soluo spent ages choosing a target, and he found him to be the most suitable; he felt no guilt whatsoever when he struck!
