The 90th to 100th floors of the Fissure Corridor were not standard floors.
The alchemists who were once responsible for constructing this place hollowed out these ten floors, creating an underground city over a hundred meters tall.
The city’s area was about one-third the size of Union City’s Undercity.
At the very center of the city stood a tall, black spire.
It was the core alchemical device used to spray the universal metal powder onto the ground level.
On Spray Powder Day, the spire would open like petals, revealing the ultra-high-pressure airstream alchemy array within.
For the residents of Black City, the spire was more than just an alchemy device. The ground surrounding it was filled with alchemy pipelines transporting universal metal powder, energy pipelines delivering energy to the ultra-high-pressure airstream alchemy array, and a large warehouse storing the universal metal powder.
The spire and all the alchemy facilities around it were essential to the people of the Black City’s survival.
As long as these things continued to function normally, Black City would have the confidence to challenge the Alchemy Cathedral.
With the tower standing, the people stand too; when the tower falls, the people fall as well.
The illegal extraordinaries of Black City vowed to defend the spire to their deaths.
They envisioned themselves facing the army of the Alchemy Cathedral and struggling to survive under their opponents’ onslaught.
Yet, they never imagined that their opponents would consist of just two people.
One person had a fireball and an ice ball floating above their left and right palms, respectively. The other had an electric ball and a water ball floating above each hand.
The ice ball scattered frost and cold air towards the people of Black City. Swiftly spreading like a cold tide, it enveloped half of the city in under half a minute.
Despite being surrounded by the two combat wizards, the people of Black City weren’t afraid of such coldness. The bone-chilling coldness made their bodies shiver, but it didn’t cause any apparent damage.
Assuming that was their opponents’ full extent, the residents of Black City laughed heartily, mocking their frost magic as comical as stage decorations.
However, their laughter soon ceased.
A flame column several tens of meters long shot out from the fireball, its target not the laughing Black City residents, but the frost particles floating above their heads.
The elemental reaction of ice followed by fire created an “Explosive Melting.”
All the suspended frost particles exploded simultaneously, releasing ferocious impacts as if ignited by the flame column. The tremendous difference between ice and fire descended upon all Black City residents instantaneously.
The explosive airflow and thunderous roar were heart-shaking.
The fierce wind carried water droplets formed by the melting of frost particles, violently striking the people of Black City.
Illegal alchemists of Black City had activated their alchemy weaponry in advance, quickly stabilizing their footing amidst the explosive blast. The illegal wandering wizards mixed among them also shielded themselves with “Magic Shield” in time.
