Chapter 452 - Explosion (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The strength in numbers created a great destruction. The ground that was still frozen started to burn. Dragons of fire growled amidst the pouring Fire Rain. The flames created a Six-pointed Star Array that seemed to have a crimson glow. At a glance, it seemed like the entire world was on fire…
The magic attack that was close to madness made Hutton and Stephen incredibly exhausted. They had no choice. The attack was too intense. The Earthbind Spell, Ice Wall Spell, and Blood-vine Spell lost their effects in that battle. They did not have the time to expand the spells before being engulfed by the flames of the Fire Rain…
“Stephen, this doesn’t work…” Hutton said in a low voice as he cast another wall of ice. There was a distinct worry on his pale and exhausted face.
“You should say that to Felic instead…” Stephen enforced the ice wall with great difficulty. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. While he said that, he took a glance back that Lin Li, who was in the air. There was a disdainful tone in his voice. “That coward created all this mess himself, but he is now hiding up there with the Levitation Spell like a tortoise. Hmph, I am interested to see how he is going deal with these Azteks alone when we use up our mana…”
“Maybe… Maybe President Felic is still trying to figure things out…?” Frankly speaking, Hutton was guilty when he replied. Although Stephen was irritating, he was not talking nonsense this time. President Felic did not do anything after he used the Frost Dragon Gun. Instead, he was levitating in the air quietly…
Could it be that he is really planning an escape? This is the Abyss of Tharlen. Even if he wants to leave, where could he go?
“Figure things out? Cut the c.r.a.p. If he had a way, he would get rid of these Azteks. Does he need to hide so far away like a coward?”
“Erm…” Hutton opened his mouth to defend Lin Li, but could not find any words. He could only take a long sigh and put his focus back to the battle at hand.
A minute pa.s.sed. Two minutes pa.s.sed. Three minutes… Four minutes…
The battle was going on for close to five minutes.
After another ice wall was broken by the Pyroblast, the ice shards darted like angry bullets. This time, however, the Aztek that smashed the ice wall stopped its magic attacks. It rolled up its red body. Immediately, the tidal-like fire elements around the Azteks bubbled vigorously like boiling water…
It’s here! Lin Li prepared himself the moment the Aztek rolled itself up…
Lin Li moved to the top of the ice wall like a black streak of lightning. What followed was a “ZUK!” as a Frost Dragon Gun that had been prepared long ago bolted out…
“BOOM!”
That was an earth-shaking sound.
The unlucky Aztek got shot by the Frost Dragon Gun the moment it turned into a Live Bomb. The vigorous fire elements within its body had nowhere to go, so it exploded on the spot.
The effects of a Live Bomb could be described as terrifying. The explosion of this Aztek shattered down the seven ice walls immediately…
The seven ice walls were painstakingly established by Hutton and Stephen, who spent most of their mana on them. In the earlier battle, it required at least 10 Pyroblast to break one wall. Now, however, one Live Bomb was enough to knock down seven of them.
The mages turned pallid.
Sh*t…
The effects of the explosion were not what Archmages of level-19 could handle. As long as they had not reached the Legendary-realm, no mage could survive such a horrific explosion without a Magical Domain.
The seven walls of ice were supposed to delay the Azteks for a while. They did not expect them to shatter instantaneously with such a terrifying explosion. Now that a great portion of their mana had been drained, and that the only thing they could rely on had been turned to smithereens, were they going to use their magic staff to fight the Azteks physically?
“What now?”
Hutton and Stephen looked at each other anxiously after the thunderous explosion.
The group of Azteks was in shock as well. Although their intelligence was not any higher as compared to the normal magical beasts, they were clear on the present situation: one of their kind used a Live Bomb, but did not kill anything. Instead, it only knocked down a few walls of ice…
Very quickly, the biggest Aztek let out a ferocious growl…
As compared to its previous growl, it was clearly filled with fury and madness. Three humans had made them lose three of their kind. For the leader of the Azteks, it was beyond tolerance. It had decided to eliminate the three humans regardless of what it would take.
Immediately after the growl, five out of 10 Azteks curled up their wings. Then, fire elements in the entire Abyss of Tharlen vibrated vigorously. Both Hutton and Stephen could very clearly feel the energy of the balled-up Azteks increasing exponentially. It rose from level-18 to level-19, then from level-19 to close to the Legendary-realm…
d.a.m.n…
The anxiousness in their eyes turned into hopelessness. The explosion from the five Azteks that were dangerously close to the Legendary-realm was a terrifying thing that Hutton could not bring himself to even imagine. That was a force that could lead to the end of the world, not to mention if the force were to hit him. The aftermath of the explosion would suffice to turn him into broken bones.
Just when he was in despair, there was a gust of wind that approached him. Hutton turned to see President Felic land by his side slowly.
“Mage Felic, what are you doing…?” Hutton froze. He could not fathom the thought processes in the dude’s mind. He could have left the battleground with his Levitation Spell anytime. Why would he want to approach at such a critical moment?
“Don’t ask so much…” Lin Li interrupted Hutton with a wave is his hand. He wasn’t interested in what Hutton was thinking about. “Can you use that magical equipment for another time?” Lin Li asked with a hurried voice.
“Sure.”
“That’s great,” Lin Li replied as he let out some of his mana…
The mana was entering the source of the Maze Mageweath Array. As this wave of mana entered, the dull-colored source of mana lit up. There was a dazzling glow of light, and the mana within the level-10 magical crystal flowed through the Maze Mageweath Array at once.
Each magic node lit up as the mana flowed through it. As each magic circuit was activated, the true force of the high-level mageweath array finally got unleashed.
Then, Hutton’s and Stephen’s expression froze.
They suddenly saw that the several Azteks that were dangerously close to the Legendary-realm suddenly turned against one another. They were eyeing their own kind with a glare that was filled with craze and despair.
“What the f*ck are they doing…?” Hutton gaped.
It was like a dream. One of the Azteks pounced towards its own kind… No, no, no. Not only one. That instance, all of the Azteks started to battle each other. Two of the Azteks even forgot the rank between demons and pounced on that biggest Aztek…
Could this be the work of President Felic?
