Chapter 417 Nine Months later, Planet Dawn. (2/2)
People fell down, and beasts flipped over. The scene turned very chaotic very quickly. The other tribes joined the battle as well. Blades and claws slashed against the Magic Colossuses and clanked, their growling louder than the explosions!
The Berserkers and the knights were at the front, but regardless, the Magic Colossuses smashed the bones of the warriors with their huge strength one after another. The place was filled with screams of agony. The enemy [Polluters] hid behind the colossuses and cast corrosive spells at the warriors.
The spell array could only be opened when all the Magic Colossuses were destroyed. Often, they had to pay the price of thirteen to eighteen elite warriors just to destroy one Magic Colossus. Even though the Red Horn Mercenary Group helped with their firearms and abilities, they were not killing the Magic Colossuses fast enough.
There were more Magic Colossuses than the estimated eight hundred. It was like a wall of desperation.
Blood slowly spread out on the green field, and the dawn in the sky witnessed this bloodbath.
”Continue charging forward, don't stop!”
The Knights led by Rex had already lost a quarter of their members. At the same time, they had killed the most Magic Colossuses too. His face will resolute, and he went out of the battlefield and charged back in again.
His spear stabbed into a Magic Colossus's leg. An explosion occurred on the spear tip enchanted with an explosive spell, shattering a small part of the Magic Colossus's body. One Magic Colossus could wipe out hundreds of normal troops. The Blue Shield Knights were the elite troops of the Vain Kingdom, so every one of them was a warrior who had magic powers. They were far stronger than ordinary people. Such heavy battle damage was already very tragic.
At the same time, at a strangely shaped huge altar inside a man-made space under the Ancient City Ruins, countless believers in black were praying softly, sending magic into the magic array on the altar.
In the heart of the altar was an old Vainerian in a gorgeous bright red robe—Rezar. A golden framed mirror was floating beside him. It possessed the [Clairvoyance] spell, and the image in the mirror was a reflection of the war above him from an aerial view.
”These fools, they fell for your scheme as expected. These Magic Colossuses are used to fight with them specifically. Our magic array is hidden under the field. Blood from above is directed into this place. The ceremony can only be activated with enough blood as its fuel. Hehehe, your idea of tying the magic array with the Magic Colossuses is really brilliant, leaving them with no choice but to fight head-on with the Magic Colossuses,” a superior believer under the altar said in a flattering tone.
Rezar nodded and asked coldly, ”How much more blood is needed.”
”The fuel to activate the altar will be enough in one hour if they continue fighting. You will become the lord of magic, the strongest Mage in history!” the superior believer said with a fanatical face.
”Strongest…” Rezar looked at him pitifully. He shook his head and mumbled, ”Twenty years of preparation, I'm finally close to success. I've been stuck at this stage for so many years, and this is the limit of my talent. As long as I cross this step, I will be able to go to the higher world…”
…
The battle on the surface lasted almost an hour. In order to save time, the army almost completely gave up its defenses and attacked crazily. Half of the Magic Colossuses were destroyed, and all the Polluters were dead. However, the warriors had suffered heavy losses as well. Blood turned into a river. The rest of the people were exhausted. The casualties were increasing at a very high speed.
”Hold on. According to this speed, we can stop the ceremony in time!” Rex yelled loudly to boost morale.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
At this time, he felt a chill above his head. A Magic Colossus was near him and slashed down its huge axe.
Boom!
Rex pounced forward hurriedly. The Ravening Beast was split in half, and the axe slashed right into the ground. The blood and intestines of the Ravening Beast spilled all over the floor. If he did not dodge it, this would have been him.
He did not even have the time to be glad. This colossus was already walking toward him with the axe in its hands. A shadow loomed over Rex's head as the axe was raised up high in the air.
Rex's felt a sudden pain in his legs, having been hit just now. He was covered in sweat and wanted to stand up with all his might.
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly realized that the shadow under his feet seemed to have expanded, followed by the sonic boom that became louder and louder.
Bang!
An alloy airdrop cabin fell down to the ground right beside this Magic Colossus, and the impact blew both the Magic Colossus and Rex away.
Dong! Dong!
Then there were more sounds of these cabins falling onto the ground. Many airdrop cabins fell onto the ground nearby.
Whoosh!
The hatch opened, and a group of warriors in heavy metal armor gushed out. The leader was a human man in a black windbreaker wearing many spherical jewelries. He was looking left and right with curiosity.
”Are they the new reinforcements from the higher world?” Despite having a very rational personality, Rex could not help but be surprised.
At this time, that Magic Colossus charged toward this human man, and its axe slashed down. Rex subconsciously wanted to yell and remind him, but what happened next made him swallow his words.
This man raised his hand and easily grabbed the axe that was more than enough to slash a Ravening Beast open. The impact from the axe only made his wrist sink a negligible amount of distance. He raised his eyebrows and said, ”Tsk, the way this planet welcomes its guest is really passionate… We came right on time. Stop standing there, time to do the job.”
Lin Ge, who was in the middle of a fight, looked over and heaved a sigh of relief.
”They're finally here, the Black Star Mercenary Group.”
