Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

"Bang~ bang~ bang~"

Explosions rang out continuously.

Crimson and blood-red energies intertwined, and the dissipated energy particles formed a blazing hurricane...

Ascending to a great height caused a huge commotion.

Dago kept his eyes fixed on the two, his detection spell constantly scanning the battlefield, and his meditation technique continuously replenishing his depleted mental energy.

A terrifying energy storm swept away all traces of spells in the empty field in an instant.

A fierce wind arose, and everything around seemed to bow and tremble under its force...

The two were basically evenly matched, facing each other from a distance and constantly exchanging minor spells.

From the sky to the ground, the deafening sounds of colliding spells suddenly erupted throughout the entire town!

Numerous houses were set on fire and dismantled, turning the entire town into a hell of blood and fire.

However, unnoticed by them, the protective shield of the wizarding hall was becoming transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Click~~~

The protective shield of the Wizarding Hall has shattered.

The blood wave crashed against the dome of the wizard's hall, transforming into countless blood tentacles that burrowed inside.

Countless people wept in despair, wailed loudly, and some even committed suicide on the spot.

One by one, lives perished, merging into the body of the Blood Mother, becoming Her provisions.

Upon seeing this, the two remaining airships immediately turned around and headed back to the academy.

After devouring so many lives, the blood wave lingered above the wizard's hall, transforming into a volcano-like hill of flesh and blood.

The sound of a heart pounding could be heard from inside, while at the same time, blood droplets were constantly being thrown into the air from the bloody opening at its top.

Blood rained down on the entire town, and the black-robed members of the Darkblood Council knelt on the ground, receiving the blessings of the Blood Mother Ersog.

Some black-robed figures even cut themselves with sharp weapons, using their wounds to catch the rain of blood.

The entire town was transformed into a site of blood bathing rituals, and His presence even caused the "blood to boil" in the surrounding area, weakening a certain barrier.

Dargo stared blankly at the Blood Mother's arrival in the wizarding hall, thinking to himself, "It's over. It's completely over."

Upon seeing the hill that the Blood Mother had transformed into, Flax abandoned his battle with Dean Jodes and flew toward the Blood Hill.

A stream of extremely pure blood crystal flew straight towards his forehead, and the blood clung to his body, instantly enveloping him in a blood cocoon.

Dago was waiting for his mental energy to recover, and wasn't Flax also waiting for the Blood Mother to devour the Wizarding Hall?

Dean Jodes flew to Dago, who was standing on ice crystal ravens. The two of them set up mental fields and protective shields to resist the erosion of the blood rain.

The rain of blood stained the entire town red, turning it into a complete wasteland.

In Dago's detection vision, they were enveloped in countless streams of blood energy, like a lone boat adrift in a storm.

When the blood rain stopped, he felt an unprecedentedly powerful pressure coming from the place where Flax had previously turned into a blood cocoon.

"How is this possible?!"

Upon seeing Flax's current state, even Dago's current will wavered.

There stood a figure, about two meters tall, with a muscular but deformed and twisted physique, exuding a terrifying aura.

Beneath his blood-red robes, his body revealed surging dark red veins and indistinct outlines of fleshy lumps. His head was covered in toad-like growths, from which flowed foul-smelling, filthy blood.

Three thick tentacles grew from the spine, covered with dense barbs and blood-red eyes.

His two blood-red eyes, glowing red, looked at the two of them with an air of evil and madness.

"He has been corrupted by the Blood Mother and has become her loyal hound."

Dean Jodes said solemnly, "He is currently guarding the Blood Mother Erzog, who is in a slumber. Her heart is still beating, constantly eroding the real world, attempting to descend in her true form."

"I will sacrifice you all to the great Blood Mother, so that you may feel the agony of your flesh and soul being slowly sucked away by Her!!"

Under the influence of the high-pressure energy field, Corrupted Flax became even more twisted and deformed, and intense killing intent and powerful mental energy surged out of his body in waves.

"Let's kill him together!"

Jodes let out a rapid, low growl, and the moment he spoke, fireballs erupted around him, hurtling rapidly toward Flax.

Dago raised his ice crystal wand and rapidly condensed air bullets, pointing them at Flax.

However, Corrupted Flax merely glanced at them coldly before a blood-red tentacle, like that of a giant python, lashed out with a whooshing sound.

With almost no effort, they shattered Jodes' fireball and Dago's air bomb.

Those three terrifying blood-red tentacles only emitted wisps of white heat, causing absolutely no noticeable harm to him.

In addition, with a casual swipe of the three tentacles, three giant blood-red scythes flew rapidly toward the two of them.

The traces of these blood scythes were barely visible in the air; only faint afterimages could be seen.

The two men's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately separated and flew away to avoid the danger.

"Whoosh—"

A sound like tearing silk cutting through the air.

Blood Scythe reached Dago's mental field and penetrated his protective shield.

He raised his right hand and used his ice claw to barely shatter the remaining power of the Blood Scythe. The ice claw was cut open, and the skin inside was already visible.

After Flax was corrupted, Dago had already considered leaving. He wasn't a formal student of the academy, so why risk his life for the academy?

However, once he retreats, Dean Jodes will be killed, and Flax will bite him like a mad dog.

Now he is in a dilemma; he can't fight, and he can't not fight.

Dean Jodes was in the same predicament, his body thrown back in a disheveled state by the Blood Scythe.

The two exchanged a glance, deciding to work together to teach the corrupted Flax a lesson.

The ice crystal raven beneath Dago whistled out and flew straight toward the corrupted Flax.

Behind Dean Jodes, the Fire Ring Seal reappeared, and a giant fire dragon, several meters long, formed from condensed flame energy and flew out.

"Slap! Slap!! Slap!!!"

As the Ice Crystal Raven approached Corrupted Flax, it was lashed three times by the tentacles behind it, shattering most of its body.

Within the corrupted Flax's red pupils, an incredibly bright ice core suddenly lit up!

The moment the ice core shattered, instead of the expected cracking sound, a dull "crack" pierced the air.

Blue ice crystals, as if alive, grew wildly along the patterns of his blood-red robe, and in an instant, they climbed all over his ugly face.

In the blink of an eye, Corrupted Flax was encased in a translucent ice shell!

But his lively red eyes and the crackling of the ice shell told Dargo that this ice wouldn't freeze his deformed body for long.

Dago took advantage of the mindless nature of the corrupted Flax and pulled off a clever deception.

He yelled at Dean Jodes, "Now! Kill him!"

The fiery dragon, several meters long, lunged straight at the frozen, corrupted Flax without hesitation.

Boom!!! A roaring pillar of flames surged forth!!!

The fiery beams of light lasted for a full minute, even causing the frozen, corrupted ground of Flax to crumble and melt.

As the blazing dragon of fire slowly disappeared.

The surging foehn wind and scorching air currents echoed through the streets.

In the melted pit, only a body, gnawed by the flames and reduced to a charred outline, remained.

Dean Jodes and Dago both breathed a long sigh of relief; this battle had been incredibly hard-won.
