Chapter 936 - The Raging Flames of War (Part 2) (1/2)

Even after he had returned to the magic tower, that Legendary Master, who cast the Meteorite, still wore an expression of disbelief.

“That’s impossible! The murlocs can’t possibly have such skill!”

However, the facts were plain in sight.

The murlocs had mastered enough means to fight legendary spells. And this ability of theirs could not only be used for defense but also be used to attack.

From the scene of destruction of that cliff earlier on, their means might seem somewhat crude, inadequately refined and precise, but there was no doubt how mighty it was.

That means was also at the legendary level.

On the inside of the Highest Tower, there was a circle of light by the side of the warning array. The middle of the ripple of light was like a mirror, reflecting the scene of the sea.

The dark green color was rippling on the surface of the sea. It was thick, heavy and utterly turbid. And inside the warning array, there were indications showing that the murlocs were dying in large numbers. Following the deaths of such a large number of murlocs, there was an extremely strong aura that was rising.

“Sacrifice… The weak wants to resist the strong. This is the only means left for it to do so!” an old Legendary Master snorted. “Those shrimps really have nothing much to boast of, except for the fact that they are very fertile. They can offer a sacrifice of eight to ten thousand in one go, but still, that’s nothing much to them!”

The Legendary Masters looked at each other with bitter expressions.

A sacrifice of eight to ten thousand at a time? What kind of creature would be summoned!

Offering sacrifices was a very traditional spellcasting method, and it was most commonly seen in summoning spells. It was not unusual for early spellcasters to offer sacrifices to the powerful existences of other worlds to borrow their power.

Before Master Lamperus came up with the “Modern Spell” system, the human’s spellcasting system was called the “Sorcery System.” This system was best known for two things. The first was that it absorbed the blood of various creatures for powerful strength and long life. The second was that it showed great enthusiasm towards offering sacrifices to the existences of the other worlds so as to benefit from the other side.

When it came to the study of sacrificial spells, the humans were the world’s greatest experts!

However, time flew, and the years drifted by. All traces of the Witch Age were worn away with the passing of time. By now, apart from a handful of unofficial mages who did not undergo proper training, there were very few mages who still worked on studying the sacrificial spell. This spell, though mighty and powerful, was too dangerous. In particular, it was a spell that could easily provoke unknown beings that were unpredictable and difficult to communicate, thus leading to great trouble.

So by now, most mages no longer pondered about it. Even for the legendary mages who were in the magic tower that very moment, most of them were not good at means of offering sacrifices.

At this moment, as they watched how their enemies could possibly put up a resistance against their legendary spells by means of a large-scale sacrifice, many of the older mages suddenly felt a sense of absurdity rising within them. It was like going back in time to a scene that took place many years ago where the humans, with their backward magic techniques, fought against the elves who were very skilled in magic.

Especially the few senior Legendary Masters who had lived from the Witch Age to present day, their expressions were so weird that they were even harder to read.

“In those days… This was how we had fought the elves…” and old mage could not help muttering. “Could it be that history is repeating itself again?”

“History will not repeat itself!” a young mage said angrily. “We are much more powerful than the elves had been back in those years!”

With that, he manipulated the magic array and launched the defense system of the Highest Tower into motion.

A huge gem at the peak of the tower emitted a brilliant light that shone as bright as the sun. Then a stream of blazing red burst out all at once. Its speed was so incredulously fast that before the murlocs could react, it had hit the surface of the sea.
