Chapter 432 (1/2)

The war between the Oracles started in the sea of fire in the sky.

Countless Oracles fought in completely different ways.

Some of them wore black Whole-Body Armor and held swords in both hands. On the thick and heavy armor were sharp horns, and nobody knew whether they were for decoration or for fighting. The handle of the sword was set with a skeleton. If one listened carefully, one could hear the skeleton still howling.

These were the Oracles of the God of Fear, and they were simply called Fear Messengers or Fear Knights. Although they didn’t have specific mounts, they were able to fly, using the air as their mounts.

They looked clumsy, but in fact, they were very flexible and powerful.

Being powerful was the most important thing.

They were powerful enough to fight against those giant beasts at the legendary level, and they were fast enough to avoid those arrows shot by powerful crossbows. Although they didn’t know excellent martial arts, they had made up for that with their appropriate magic talent. If it was necessary, these seemingly armored knights were also able to use magic. Although the number of their spells was small, they knew almost all kinds of magic. Whether they wanted to attack, defend, move, strengthen their power or weaken that of the enemy, there had enough spells available to them.

That was more than enough.

For the ones that got involved in war, most of the spells mastered by professional mages were meaningless to them. It didn’t mean that these spells were useless, but they were just not needed, especially when they had Divine Power. They could get what they wanted with Divine Power, and that made many unpopular spells meaningless.

These Oracles were able to increase their strength, speed, and ability of attack and defense, and they could also directly use magic to attack their enemies from long-distance. Moreover, they could unite together and cast some powerful combined spells.

That was certainly enough. At least they could use more spells than Sui Xiong’s mass-produced Oracles.

To be honest, Sui Xiong’s Oracles were weaker.

Compared to these Fear Messengers, even the most powerful mass-produced Oracles were weaker. As for the weakest, destroyer-type Oracles, they would be just cannon fodder if they met the Fear Messengers. They would be killed as easily as cutting vegetables.

But Sui Xiong didn’t care.

If there was a gap in power, he could make up for it with a larger number of Oracles. The mass-produced Oracles were originally a kind of military force that won the fight through their sheer quantity. As long as the advantage of quantity could make up for the disadvantage of power, there would be no problem.

Judging from the current situation, it might work.

Sui Xiong did not intend to study carefully how terrible the frontline battles were when the two sides met; instead, he paid close attention to the demarcation line between the red sea of fire and the black cloud.

Since the meeting of the two sides, the demarcation line had almost remained in the same place without moving.

That was good. Sui Xiong was quite satisfied.

More importantly, he could clearly feel that the dark cloud of the other side consuming great amounts of Divine Power every second, and so was the revival of their dead Oracles. Compared to that, the consumption of Sui Xiong’s Divine Power was much less because he just needed to light the fire in the sky and draw magic power from other places to supply him; that was all.

The distribution of magic power in the Main Plane was wonderful. The magic concentration at sea level was the lowest, and then it increased gradually from there. At this moment, they were fighting in the sky, so the concentration of magic power was quite high. Thus, Sui Xiong just needed to dispatch some magic power from nearby, and that would be enough to support the burning of the fire.

As for the mass-produced Oracles, they were not supported by Sui Xiong’s Divine Power. Instead, they were created by the power of the fire. After their deaths in the fight, their remains would be collected back in the fire and become the source of the production of more Oracles.

The sea of fire was like a cruel and rigorous war machine, constantly producing tools then recycling the damaged tools into raw materials for the further production of new ones.

The fire collected not only those dead mass-produced Oracles but also some dead Fear Messengers.

Although not large in number, there were indeed some Fear Messengers swallowed by the fire after death. They were transformed into energy for the mass-produced Oracles.

Because of that, Sui Xiong knew something about how the God of Fear created his Oracles and the secret behind it.

To be honest, Sui Xiong was somewhat disappointed.

The Fear Messengers were shoddily made without any amazingly exquisite feelings. They were designed based on the legendary priests, and their physical fitness was slightly enhanced. The God of Fear eliminated most of the unnecessary spells of the legendary priests and finally made these Fear Messengers.

The God of Fear apparently didn’t put much effort into the creation of his Oracles. Perhaps in his view, these Oracles that could be revived after death with sufficient Divine Power deserved no special attention from him. However, Sui Xiong saw something special in them.

It was carelessness.

This leader of the evil gods was kind of careless.

That was not a big problem since Sui Xiong was somewhat careless too. But the God of Fear was too careless in small things, or in other words, there were too few things that deserved his attention.

In terms of creating Oracles, the God of Fear was the most careless among the gods that Sui Xiong had known. At least, in Sui Xiong’s opinion, there was room for further optimization of the Fear Messengers. If they could be fully optimized, their fighting power could be increased by at least 30%!

It was definitely worth a try, but the God of Fear didn’t pay attention to that at all.

Thus, Sui Xiong thought that this leader of the evil gods was not only careless but also not so popular among other gods.

If Sui Xiong found that there were obvious defects in the design of his friend’s Oracles and there was room for substantial improvement, he would surely tell his friend about it and help him improve his Oracles.

But apparently, the God of Fear didn’t have such a friend, and his subordinates had never made such a suggestion either.
