Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 705 Metamorphosis

An army like a tidal wave is pouring in.

The higher-ups of the Dark World are silently watching the scenes throughout the End City through monitors.

Even through the monitor lens, one could feel the chilling and murderous atmosphere.

The sight of rows of wizards appearing on the streets already brought immense pressure.

Faced with the invasion of the wizarding world, the Dark World had long known that these guys called wizards far surpassed them in both individual and team combat capabilities. They had no obvious weaknesses, and all their stats were ridiculously high. It could be said that they were a near-perfect unit.

However, sheer numbers are the advantage of the Dark World.

The number of wizards who descended upon the Dark World was not large; this was a conclusion drawn after several trials.

"That's not enough. We can't let these wizards break through our outer defenses so easily. Even if they do break through, we must make them pay a higher price, either in manpower or with new methods."

"Then let's activate that thing."

"We need to at least give them some obstacles."

In a few words, the senior executives reached a consensus.

Then, in the next moment, they wriggled their bodies and a long tentacle stretched out from the gap between their bodies. This was their command device, through which they issued the latest instructions.

Some of the Annihilators fighting on the front lines received orders, and the eggs sealed inside their bodies were awakened by a special fluctuation. They then broke open their eggshells, and the Annihilators began to spin and devour. With each rotation, the flesh and blood they devoured were transformed into grayish-white.

From the perspective of the wizard on the battlefield, among the worms in front of him, some worms with white spots suddenly appeared. These worms trembled, and the white spots on their bodies were rapidly expanding.

"has a problem?"

"Prioritize focusing fire."

"Proceed with caution."

"Take a sample first, then dissect and investigate."

On the battlefield, wizards from different palaces took different actions according to their own habits.

However, the Dark Ones who had used secret techniques beside the white worms acted as if they had gone mad, blocking the way for these white worms.

He acted like a madman, completely unconcerned about his own life.

A spell cast by the wizard was blocked by several Dark Ones using their physical bodies.

Unable to withstand the wide-range magic, more Annihilators will stand in front of the white worms, acting as meat shields.

The wizards instinctively sensed something was wrong; a method that could force the opponent to sacrifice their life to buy time was clearly not an ordinary one.

Just then, the Dark One protected by the other Dark Ones had turned completely white. The worm's body had become fluid and extended outwards, reaching out to grab the surrounding creatures. The Dark One closest to it was touched by these white fluids and quickly pulled into the white worm.

Strangely, the surrounding Dark Ones, upon seeing this scene, were not afraid at all; instead, they all frantically moved towards these Dark Ones who had turned white.

The concentric circles quickly formed several spheres.

The wizards were hunting, but their hunting efficiency was far behind the rate at which these enhanced speed and physique of the Dark Ones were being sent to their deaths.

One worm after another was thrown into the body of the white worm, splashing up tiny water droplets, but its shape did not change at all; instead, the white worm became more and more solid.

It's as if something is being nurtured within it.

The wizards wore solemn expressions as they weaved magic circles and performed rituals to try and stop and hunt down the Dark Ones, preventing them from further assimil into the community. At the same time, they also used various spells in coordination to try and eliminate these special Dark One creatures during lulls in the spells.

The barrier created by the force field generator above the End City was torn open even wider, and more wizards appeared. However, these wizards were different from the previous ones; they relied more on flesh magic.

These wizards are physically strong, and with the enhancement of flesh magic and various auxiliary magic, their melee combat ability is in no way inferior to those of the Dark Ones who use arcane arts.

These newly joined wizards were numerous and quickly organized a counterattack.

The annihilation crowd was divided into smaller groups, and the well-coordinated wizards wiped them out piece by piece. Soon, the white worms were revealed.

More wizards attempted to deal with the white worms.

The fiery explosion struck the opposite surface without causing any damage; in fact, the surface remained pristine white, without even a trace of red. Frost covered the surface, but it naturally slid off. Lightning, wind blades... the effects of these spells seemed to be completely blocked.

The elemental magic was blocked by the white worm's skin and had no effect.

This is……

Magic immunity effect?

Perhaps it also comes with resistant skin?
That's why it has such strong magic resistance.

However, both of these require magical power to be used. The creatures of the world do not have the conditions to contain magical power. Even if they were to forcibly contain it, the magical power itself would not be enough to support the effects of magic immunity and resistant skin.

The wizards have already made some initial discoveries about the white worms' defense mechanisms through their probing.

However, even with magic immunity and resistance skin, it's useless. As long as you weaken them with curses, there are corresponding counter-curses to break them, whether it's magic immunity or resistance skin.

The quick-thinking wizards were already beginning to cast spells.

Just then, the white worm contracted inward, its shimmering white surface dimming to reveal a bone-like shell.

One after another.

As if by prior agreement, all the white worms turned into cocoons.

Only then did the wizards notice that in the area they had cleared, at the edge of the battlefield, there were tens of thousands of white cocoons, and inside the City of the End, there were even more places protected by the Dark Ones, where the cocoons were faintly visible.

Seeing this scene through the mental network, the commander-in-chief in the floating city's strategic command center said softly, "It seems this is their last resort. I can sense the fluctuations of magic power from these insects. It seems they want to forcibly control magic power through abnormal evolution."

"Transforming magical structures into physical structures, becoming pure magical mediums, although there is no longer any growth, is fast and efficient. It seems that the Annihilators do have some methods."

"But that's not enough. What are they planning to do..."

The commander-in-chief's gaze was fixed on the insects before him.

Their body structure is unique enough, and with their abnormal ability to fuse magical power, if used properly, they might serve as a good medium for casting spells, and could also meet customized needs.

It can be considered a rare magical creature, or perhaps a special material.

However, if that were all, there shouldn't be any mistakes, let alone an unavoidable disadvantage as Lucy warned.

So, what exactly is the problem? ...

They didn't have to wait long, or rather, the energy these white worms absorbed was enough to allow them to skip the cocooning stage. The next moment, the bony shell cracked open, and a human figure emerged from the gap.

Yes, it was a human figure, with a shape like a wizard.

They have two arms and two legs, and stand upright, but the difference is that they also have a pair of translucent wings behind them.

Rather than a wizard, it's more like an enlarged version of a sprite.

However, the wings of the little elves are formed from elements, and the patterns on them are mostly natural rhythms, a blessing from nature to the elves.

However, each of these mutated Dark Ones has different wings.

The structure of the wings is very strange and very complicated.

The wizards' probing attack has begun.

Overwhelming magic, these new forms of Annihilation beings flapped their wings and weaved through various spells. Moreover, they would even touch some spells with their wings when faced with them.

The magic is broken down and then absorbed into the wings on their backs.

Magic surged on them, making the colors of the wing patterns even more magnificent and shimmering with fluorescence, as if they had been enhanced. Their movements became more agile and faster.

Each newly born Dark One, like a butterfly, is almost equivalent to a magical creature that has reached the 4X danger level.

Now, there's a large swarm of these butterfly-like beings in front of us, which is a bit tricky. Now, let alone wiping them out and continuing the attack, we might even be wiped out by them.

"withdraw……"

Upon witnessing this, the commander-in-chief calmly issued a temporary retreat order.

This special species, once they find specimens and analyze the data in detail, will be able to create targeted magic and counter-spells.

Unless they come up with new secret techniques or abnormal evolutions like this time, once they have thoroughly studied them, targeted magic will harvest them in large numbers.

After the commander-in-chief gave the order, the wizards immediately prepared to retreat, skillfully using magic to cover their rear, their figures transforming into streaks of light and rising into the air.

However, the barrier that had been breached suddenly healed itself.

The force field generator, which was originally targeted for hacking, is still working. Clearly, the previous hacking was an illusion, and the force field generator has been iterated upon again.

The force field generator enveloped the End City, trapping a large number of combat wizards who had entered.

The Butterfly Annihilators had mostly finished gestating and were now surrounding the wizards within the force field.

It was only then that the wizards realized that the worms' magic immunity and resistant skin were prerequisite forms of their talents during the transformation process. In essence, these transformed butterfly-like beings had wings with a magical absorption property.

Although each Butterfly Annihilator can only absorb one type of magic, the upper limit of absorption can reach the level of forbidden spells.

These "butterflies" are numerous and fly fast, rendering the wizards' offensive magic ineffective. They can only use mental magic to interfere and spatial magic to teleport and dodge, but this is not a solution at all, and they cannot hold out for long. Defeat is only a matter of time.

Meanwhile, the executives of Annihilation, watching this scene on the monitor, held their breath.

"Now, it depends on how these wizards choose."

Their plan has already succeeded at this stage. By gambling with the fate of the entire race, the trap they set is theoretically one where they won't lose out no matter which way the other side goes.

If the floating city were to withdraw and abandon these wizards, they could use these wizards as a catalyst to spawn more new Dark Ones.

If the floating city comes to our aid, then... the opportunity for our race to rise to power will have arrived.

At this moment, a high-ranking official, looking at the wizards who had been forced into a corner of the force field, asked, "Should we deliberately show weakness and give the other side a chance to come to our aid?"

Having orchestrated all of this, the last Dark King calmly said, "No! Let them go all out; we can't let those wizards become suspicious."

……

"Commander, the enemy's force field generator has been upgraded, greatly improving its resistance to magic interference. The magic rules cannot directly eliminate the enemy's influence. Moreover, there are many ambushes around the force field generator, and our infiltrators have no chance to get close."

The ruler of the Gemini uterus reports.

He contacted the wizards who had infiltrated the city, and learned that the situation inside the End City was much better than expected. The morale of the Dark Ones was high, and they were all in high spirits and in good order.

The Lord of the Lion Palace suddenly spoke up: "If we want to provide assistance, we can forcibly transform the world's rules directly through the floating city, deeply inserting the rules of magic into it. In this way, we can not only directly interfere with the rules of the force field generator, but also distort the proportion of magic within those magical creations, strip away the source of magic supply, and forcibly trigger the magic addiction of those moths."

Wizards conquer the world by relying on the rules of magic, and naturally there are groups like those in the Dark World who want to directly utilize the rules of magic. However, as the controllers and disseminators of the rules of magic, there is an ultimate means of control: magic addiction.

Wizards are born based on the rules of magic, and can be said to be creations of the orthodox rules of magic. Nevertheless, they are still often troubled by magic addiction.

Moreover, other world-class creatures, if they rashly come into contact with the rules of magic without control, will be transformed and cannot be eradicated. They can only survive in environments with magic, and magic addiction is the most direct means of control.

It’s indeed a good idea.

This achieves multiple goals at once, and allows for a direct continuation of the attack.

If Lucy hadn't reminded him, he would have made that decision anyway.

But was it this decision that led to the subsequent failures...?

The commander-in-chief was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's do it that way."

"However, before we do that, there's one more thing we need to do..."

……

"It's here! It's a success!"

On the monitor, the floating city in the distance moved.

It appeared to move slowly, but in reality, it quickly floated up to the sky above the End City.

Upon witnessing this scene, the leaders of Annihilation's eyes flashed with excitement, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces as their fingers tapped on the table.

None of the high-ranking members of the Annihilation faction resembled fat worms.

They had two hands and two feet, and their figures were upright. Some had handsome faces, and some had charming faces. They all looked like ordinary wizards.
