War Escalation

Within the node, nearly eight hundred thousand Mayflies were methodically constructing a formation under the general's command.

The enormous Brood Nest rose from the ground. The instant it broke free from the earth, energy from the earth vein surged forth, transforming into a magical breeze that swept in every direction.

Fortunately, even an artificial Earth Vein Node possessed self-healing properties. After the Brood Nest's energy conduits were pulled out, the earth vein immediately gathered vast quantities of earth elements and restored its rupture.

The Star River Mayflies formed a massive three-dimensional formation around the Brood Nest.

The formation's shell resembled a shuttle. A dense layer of wind elements whirled at high speed across its surface, serving the dual purpose of acceleration and defense.

The formation completed, and the Mayfly General issued the command. "Set off!"

The enormous formation immediately sped toward the large node.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would reach the large node's main defensive perimeter in thirty minutes...

Bang!

With an exceptionally crisp shattering sound, a jet-black energy stream crashed into the Mayfly battle group.

The rapidly spinning wind elements were effortlessly pierced like thin paper before the energy stream, and several hundred Mayflies were torn to pieces along with them.

"Controllable Space Flow!? Not good—it's the Wizards' elite legion!"

The instant the Mayfly General saw the black energy stream, it recognized what it was. This terrifying Wizard spell known as Controllable Space Flow was one of the Legion Spells wielded by the Wizards' elite legions. Its lethality was not especially outstanding, but when it came to piercing defenses, it was second to none.

These space flows bound by gravitational fields were, in essence, clusters of spatial fragments flowing at tremendous speed.

Even an ordinary Level Four World Lord could have their defenses pierced if they were careless.
