Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 255 Racing Against Time

Above the rift, the four large devices deployed by the Purifiers emitted an even more piercing buzzing sound almost simultaneously!

A bluish-white light suddenly shone brightly!

A cold, efficient, and destructive scanning wave, like an invisible giant net, swept across the entire crack area in an instant, naturally capturing this special harmonizing energy beam that was neither death nor order!

"Warning! Unauthorized rule intervention detected!"

Source: Unknown collaborating unit.

Target: High-threat aberration.

Behavioral assessment: Potential interference with cleanup procedures.

The cold, electronically synthesized sound did not travel through the air, but acted directly on the energy field in space, clearly echoing in the consciousness of Rolin and the others!

The Purifiers have noticed!

Furthermore, their behavior was deemed "interference"!

Almost simultaneously with the warning, a pale white beam of pure rule-annihilation energy, as thick as an arm, tore through the air from the top of one of the devices and shot toward the hiding place where Rolin and his group were at an indescribable speed.

The target was the energy beam that connected to the Moon Silver Flower, or rather, the source projection device of the energy beam and Rolin.

"Enemy attack! Take cover!" Blake's furious roar rang out!

Rowling's pupils suddenly contracted!

Forcefully interrupt the boot process?

All the previous efforts would be in vain, and Yue Yinhua might even suffer a backlash!

Without interruption? The next second, that terrifying beam of light could reduce the device and all its components to nothingness!

At the critical moment, Ella moved!

As if she had anticipated the trajectory of the beam of light, the bowstring was already fully drawn the instant the warning sounded, and a special arrow, entirely black with complex spatial distortion runes engraved on its arrowhead, was released from the bowstring!

The arrow was not shot at the beam of light, but rather at the air about ten meters ahead of the beam's path.

The arrow exploded with a bang at its designated location!

There was no firelight, only a violently distorted space, like a shattered mirror!

This is Ayla's trump card, the [Spatial Disruption Arrow]. It is expensive and difficult to make, but its effects are extremely remarkable!

The rule-annihilation beam fired by the Purifier crashed into the folds of space, its trajectory visibly deflected and scattered!

Most of the energy was deflected to the side by the distorted spatial structure, silently erasing a small hill in the distance, but a small scattering of energy aftershocks swept towards the projection device like a whip!

"The furnace barrier!"

Blake and the four furnace guards had already raised their tower shields, and their dark red, scorching battle aura erupted, forming a thick wall of flames in front of the device!

laugh! ! !

The harsh, corrosive sound made my teeth ache.

The protective barrier of battle aura was struck by the pale aftershock, melting and thinning rapidly like a hot knife cutting through butter, but it was not completely penetrated and barely managed to block the attack.

Blake and the others groaned in unison, their faces turning pale, clearly suffering from internal injuries.

"Rolin! Keep going! We can hold on!" Blake roared through gritted teeth, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

There's no time to hesitate!

Suppressing his fear, Luo Lin focused all his attention back on the guidance!

The aberration seemed to have become even more restless due to the Purifier's attack and the brief fluctuations in the energy beam, with chaotic thoughts crashing down like a storm.

Liana reduced the purification aura to its maximum extent, using it entirely to protect Rolin's spiritual core.

Ella nocked another arrow, watching warily in the direction of the Purifier device, preparing to intercept any possible second wave of attacks.

The energy crystal of the projection device dimmed further, emitting a clicking sound as it struggled to keep up with the strain.

We must speed things up!

Luo Lin made a firm decision, no longer cautiously manipulating the flower, but instead began to guide the harmonizing power of the moonflower, in a more proactive and profound way, to resonate with the most vulnerable core nodes in the distorted rule structure that still vaguely retain a trace of original order or spiritual origin!

It's like searching for a few remaining foundation stones in a twisted tower that's about to collapse, and trying to make them remember what they were originally when they were solid!

Moon Silver Flower seemed to understand his intention. The silver light became more concentrated and sharp than ever before. It no longer spread gently, but turned into countless fine silver threads, which followed the energy beam and precisely pierced the vulnerable nodes that Rolin sensed!

The mutated creature's thoughts instantly erupted with intense resistance and pain!

The chaotic structure of rules trembled violently, and even the torrent of death and corruption gushing from the depths of the cracks paused!

efficient!

But this kind of deep-seated resonance can also have terrifying backlash!

Luo Lin felt as if his mind was being torn apart by countless cold, barbed tentacles. His vision went black, his ears were ringing, and blood was seeping from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth!

The light of [Quiet Dust Star] has dimmed a bit!

"Rolin!" Liana exclaimed, pouring more of her Purifying Flame power into his body.

"Hold on—hold on—" Luo Lin squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, forcibly maintaining the guidance, and like a seed, deeply implanting the pure rhythm of the Moon Silver Flower into those resonant and fragile nodes through the silver threads!

One, two, three —

Each resonance and implantation intensifies the mutated form's chaos, but also causes a subtle instability and confusion to appear in its massive, cold structure.

It was as if a brain filled with crazy thoughts was suddenly stuffed with a few completely unfamiliar notes, yet with a strange sense of comfort.

Just as Rolin felt he was about to reach his limit and his mental state was about to collapse—

Boom!

A deep, resounding roar, seemingly originating from the very foundations of the world, came from the depths of the crack!

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying wound that stretched across the earth suddenly erupted with a torrent of gray-black energy several times stronger than before!

But this time, the torrent was mixed with a large number of unstable, violently flashing dark red and pale white light spots, as if the internal energy balance had been completely broken!

The mutated consciousness emitted a silent shriek that seemed to mix pain, rage, and a strange sense of relief, before becoming even more violent, chaotic, and—at the same time—more unstable.

Like a fortress whose internal powder keg has been ignited, although the power of the explosion is even more terrifying, its structure itself is already in grave danger!

All four devices of the Purifier simultaneously issued the highest level of alarm!

"warn!"

"The stability of the target aberration rule has dropped sharply!"

"Internal conflict escalates!"

"The risk of pollution spreading has risen to a critical level!"

"The purification process is being forcibly accelerated!"

Estimated completion time: 60 breaths!

Sixty breaths!

Only one minute!

At the same time, the light from all the devices turned a blinding scarlet red, and an even greater amount of energy began to gather, clearly preparing to launch a final, devastating purification attack!

"We succeeded—but we also stirred up a hornet's nest—" Rolin gave a bitter laugh, finally unable to hold on any longer, his body swayed, and he was supported by Liana.

The guidance was interrupted, and the energy beam dissipated.

The silvery light of the moonflower seedlings had completely dimmed, the leaves drooped listlessly, and the spiritual fluctuations were extremely weak.

The projection device let out a mournful cry and stopped operating completely, the embedded crystal turning into powder.

"Go! Evacuate immediately!" Blake shouted hoarsely. Ignoring his injuries, he and the Forge Guard grabbed the nearly exhausted Rolin and the wrecked device that had lost its power, and turned to run back the way they came!

Ella and Liana followed closely behind. As Ella ran, she fired arrows backward, not to attack, but to detonate pre-set delayed explosive runes and smoke bombs, creating chaos and hindering any possible pursuit.

The Purifiers seemed to focus all their attention on the impending full-blown aberrations and did not pursue the few small insects.

But the terrifying, destructive energy gathered at the top of those four devices was like a Damocles' sword hanging overhead, ready to fall at any moment.

Sixty breaths, every second counts!
