Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 330 Interference Array

On the Purifier's smooth visor, the data flow suddenly became chaotic and accelerated!

Its movement to break free from the wind's bindings and attack Baal suddenly stopped, as if it had received a contradictory command, and its entire body began to tremble uncoordinatedly.

The light from the wings behind him flickered erratically, and the energy output became extremely unstable.

"attack!!!"

Baal seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, channeling all his power into it. A dazzling earth-yellow aura of battle qi rose from his battle axe, carrying an earth-shattering momentum as he slashed fiercely at the gap in the armor plate of the Purifier's chest, which was trembling slightly!

Oleg's short club, like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, concentrated all his energy and armor-piercing runes, and pierced with unparalleled precision into the joint connecting the Purifier's left arm blade and shoulder!

Lina fired the last two magic-piercing arrows, aiming straight for the two weakest points where the light wings on its back connected to its torso!

Master Evelyn's silver staff unleashed a spatial slicing ripple of extreme precision, aimed at the Purifier's neck!

Shaina's holy light transformed into a scorching spear, piercing the gap in her chest that Baal had cleaved open!

Concentrate fire!

The strongest blows from everyone struck simultaneously at the moment when the Purifiers were briefly thrown into disarray by the protocol interference!

boom!!!

The violent explosion completely engulfed the Purifiers!

Dark golden energy fragments, metal debris, mixed with ice shards and holy light shot out in all directions!

The shockwave from the explosion sent everyone flying.

Luo Lin rolled several times on the ground before he could barely steady himself. His ears were ringing, and his mouth and nose were filled with the smell of dust and ice.

He struggled to his feet and looked toward the epicenter of the explosion.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

The Purifier still stood.

But its appearance was already a terrible sight.

A huge gash was cleaved open in his chest, revealing a severely damaged energy core and intricate components that were emitting electric sparks.

The left arm was severed at the shoulder, and the dark gold metal arm lay not far away.

All three pairs of light wings on its back were broken and shattered, with only the base still flickering dimly as if twitching.

There was a deep cut on the neck; although it wasn't severed, the head was tilted to one side, and the data flow had been completely extinguished.

It stood there, swaying slightly, as if it might collapse at any moment, but its broken body still exuded a dangerous aura.

He was still gripping the blade tightly on his right arm.

The last glimmer of light on the visor flickered a few times, and the cold, metallic synthesized voice echoed intermittently in everyone's minds: "Protocol—Interference—Confirm—"

"Target - Threat Level - Upgraded -"

"Send—Final—Alert—"

sizzle.

Its damaged energy core suddenly erupted with one last burst of unstable dark golden energy, like a twisted pillar of light, shooting towards the dome above its head, and then seemingly being absorbed and dissipated by some invisible barrier.

Immediately afterwards, the Purifier's tattered body began to disintegrate and melt from the inside, turning into a pool of dark golden molten metal that flowed onto the ice surface and quickly cooled and solidified.

died?

No, it's self-destruction.

At the last moment, it seemed to issue some kind of warning.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily, and all of them had some kind of injury.

Baal, leaning on his battle axe, coughed up large amounts of blood, a deep wound on his chest where the skin and flesh were torn open.

Oleg's arm hung down unnaturally, clearly dislocated.

Lina was pale; the continuous high-intensity shooting had exhausted her mental and physical strength.

Sharna barely managed to sustain the holy scripture, its holy light dimming.

Master Evelyn was also quite exhausted; her hand holding the staff trembled slightly, but her eyes remained sharp as she stared intently at the pool of metal debris left behind after the Purifier's self-destruction, and—in the center, the dark silver vortex that had become more unstable due to the Purifier's appearance and death, its rotation speed fluctuating wildly, with frequent splashes of water from the spatial rifts at its edges.

"It finally—sent an alarm," Master Evelyn said in a low voice, "to the other end of the passage."

What this means is self-evident.

Bigger trouble may be on its way soon.

"The passage must be closed immediately!" Master Evelyn gritted her teeth. "Baal, can he still move?"

"Deploy interference array, maximum power!"

"Everyone else, immediately gather all available space-stabilizing materials and reinforce the anchor!"

"We're running out of time!"

Despite their pain and exhaustion, the group struggled to move.

Luo Lin also got up and was about to go help when his eyes caught sight of something embedded in the ice next to the pool of molten metal left by the Purifier's self-destruction.

He walked over and carefully brushed away the solidified metal shell and ice chips on the surface.

It was a palm-sized, irregularly shaped, deep dark purple crystal flake.

Inside the thin sheet, countless extremely fine, dark golden light threads, flowing slowly like living things, form an incredibly complex three-dimensional rune array.

A wave of order, far more refined, more primal, and colder than the fragments of the regular substrate, emanated from the thin sheet.

"This is—" Luo Lin's pupils contracted slightly.

The Purifier's core protocol storage unit?

Or—a key fragment with higher privileges?

He carefully picked up the dark purple crystal flake; it was icy cold to the touch and unusually heavy.

The shimmering light on the surface of the thin sheet seemed to resonate very faintly with the interference amulet in his arms and the mark deep on his wrist.

This thing—its value is probably immeasurable.

But now is not the time for research.

Rolin quickly put away the thin sheet and turned to run towards Baal, who was setting up a jamming array.

The threat at the other end of the passage hung over their heads like the Sword of Damocles.

Time is really running out.

The frigid air was filled with the smell of burning and a faint stench of blood.

The hall was a scene of utter chaos, a mixture of shattered ice, metal fragments, frozen blood, and the scorching marks of holy light. The Purifier's self-destruction and the final warning weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. The action had to be swift.

Bal's chest wound was treated urgently by Sharna with holy light, with a hemostatic ointment applied and a bandage tightly wrapped around it.

The towering man's face was pale, but his eyes remained fierce. Gritting his teeth, he dragged his heavily injured body and directed his team to place the spatial stabilizing anchors they had brought around the vortex and drive them into the ice layer at specific locations.

"Void Crystal, insert it into the anchor point groove! Quickly!"

Barr's voice was hoarse, and sweat mixed with blood rolled down his forehead.

The team members worked swiftly, embedding the shimmering starlight-filled void crystals into the grooves at the top of the stabilizing anchor.

As the crystals embed, the runes on the surface of the stabilizing anchor light up one by one, emitting a deep hum, and forming an energy connection with each other, creating a complex network of magic arrays covering the area below the vortex.

Oleg put his dislocated arm back in place, wincing in pain but without uttering a sound, and helped Lina set up the portable spatial interference array she had brought.

They were two thick metal plates engraved with runes, which needed to be placed in specific positions on either side of the vortex.

Master Evelyn knelt directly in front of the vortex, her silver staff planted in front of her, her hands resting lightly on the guiding runes inscribed on the ground, her eyes closed in concentration.

She was mobilizing all her mental energy, calculating the frequency and weak points of the vortex's energy pulsations, preparing to guide the energy of the stabilizing anchor and the interference array, and making the most crucial attempt at spatial disruption and closure.

Luo Lin helped move the materials, while the power of [Quiet Dust Star] was running at full speed, sensing the energy changes of the vortex and the subtle fluctuations in the stability of the surrounding space, providing real-time feedback to Master Evelyn.

"Stabilizing anchor energy output reaches 70% - Interference array preheating complete - "

A member of the team responsible for monitoring the magic array quickly reported this.

The vortex seemed to sense the surrounding energy disturbances, its rotation becoming even more frenzied, and more spatial cracks spewed into its edges.

They became denser and emitted sharp hissing sounds.

The cold, authoritative fluctuations of order emanating from the other end of the passage also subtly intensified, as if something was watching and assessing from the other end, ready to react at any moment.

"There's no time! Master Evelyn!"

Baal growled, pressing his hands firmly against the stabilizing anchor that served as the main anchor, his arm veins bulging as he forcefully channeled his battle aura to help stabilize the energy flow.

Master Evelyn suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes gleaming with a brilliant silver light!

"Now! Activate the jamming! Maximum power!"

"Interference array, activate!"

The metal magic array discs on both sides burst out with dazzling blue-white light, and countless fine runes rose from the discs, transforming into two huge rotating rune wheels, flanking the dark silver vortex from the left and right!

At the same time, the energy output of the ground-based stabilizing anchor network is increased to its limit. The powerful spatial stabilizing force field acts like an invisible chain, tightly binding the vortex and attempting to suppress its expansion and distortion.

boom!!!
