Wizard's Journey

Chapter 413 The War to Annihilate the Dark Empire (Part 5)

"Hmm? What are those...?"

Each of the fiery red nests that destroyed the capital was at least several hundred meters high and housed tens of thousands of locust people.

The Crimson Nest is generally cylindrical in shape, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. It was built using the weathered, fiery red mud unique to this world, making it incredibly sturdy.

As the group of demon hunters and dark wizards swooped down from the high-altitude wizarding world's primordial space fortress, passing through layers of elemental fluctuations and clouds, locust-men interceptions, and the defenses of soul slave monsters from the Flame Soul World, they arrived at the lower level, where these fiery nests were laid bare before the demon hunters' eyes.

However, the tops of these fiery red nests have changed since Grimm descended through the Gate of the World.

At the top of the Crimson Nest, fleshy spheres, ranging from ten meters to tens of meters in diameter, writhed incessantly, continuously sucking in the blood and corpse fragments falling from the sky.

"Young Master, I don't think these are anything good!"

Xiao Ba naturally noticed these wriggling giant fleshy balls as well.

With a "whoosh," the Kredia Wizard's Gown, burning with raging flames, came up and also looked at these fleshy orbs.

"The aura of soul slaves is very obvious. It must have been planned in advance. It seems that we, the demon hunters and dark wizards, are going to completely destroy all the Crimson Nests in the Dark Annihilation Capital."

"Yes, that's probably true."

After Grimm nodded, his eyes beneath the Mask of Truth peered low into the sky, searching for the temple-like building that Naraku had mentioned.

However, the Dark Annihilation Capital was simply too vast.

Within Green's field of vision in the direction of his descent, there were no other special buildings besides the Crimson Nest.

Glug, glug, glug...

Some of the giant fleshy spheres seemed to have absorbed enough flesh and blood, and suddenly began to writhe violently.

The witch hunters knew what this meant, and while they did their best to protect themselves and were prepared for the worst, they continued to swoop down, observing intently.

Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff...

As expected, these violently writhing fleshy spheres ejected clumps of flesh and blood that shot into the sky, without reacting to the attacking demon hunter dark wizard.

After wilting slightly for a while, these fleshy spheres continued to absorb the falling flesh and blood from the surrounding sky.

"It seems these creatures are the strategic biological weapons deployed by the Flame Soul World. Our mission is..."

Green had only spoken halfway when a sudden burst of intense light erupted from the wizard's shield. Green seemed to have received some kind of warning, his expression changed drastically, and he and Kredia, who had also sensed something, both exerted all their strength to change their diving direction.

After a few breaths.

hum...

After an incredibly oppressive silence, suddenly, a terrifying dark red beam of energy erupted.

boom!

When the dark red energy beam shot out from the space fortress, it was only a dozen meters long, but when it landed in the Dark Annihilation Capital, it had grown to more than two hundred meters, and the earth trembled violently in an instant.

Everything in its path, whether soul slaves, swarms of locust-men, or the fiery nest that was the target of the primordial space fortress's destructive cannon, was vaporized and vanished, as if erased from thin air.

Rumble...

The beam of destructive light swept across the sky, lasting only a few breaths, before a trench hundreds of meters thick and tens of thousands of meters long, filled with magma, appeared within the Dark Annihilation Capital.

The ravine was hundreds of meters deep and filled with magma from which materials had been smelted.

The vast capital of the Dark Annihilation Empire seemed to have been ripped open, leaving a scar.

In an instant, over a hundred Crimson Nests were completely destroyed.

Other crimson nests affected by the destructive cannons began to falter. As numerous large-bellied locust nobles cried out and desperately flapped their wings to escape from the nests, they collapsed with a "boom" and were reduced to ruins.

"Demon! This is a demonic invasion, Great Flame God..."

"Waaaaah, Mommy..."

The sounds of wailing, chaos, and screams filled the air.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

Amidst the immense chaos of the Dark Empire's capital, tens of thousands of demon hunter dark wizards plummeted from the sky, creating craters of varying sizes with each crash.

Within a crater over ten meters in diameter, Green, leaning on his ram-horned skull magic staff, slowly floated up, his labyrinthine wizard robes fluttering and constantly changing shape with the waves of heat.

Roar!

Golden flames and black flames intertwined and merged. The Fiery Giant, wielding a giant lava sword, slowly rose from the crater, howling and howling incessantly from its chest and back.

After devouring dozens of fresh souls around it, it let out a burp from its large chest.

Boom!

Another dark red beam of destructive light ripped through the sky, sweeping across the Dark Annihilation Capital, causing the earth to tremble uncontrollably.

However, this devastating cannon was quite far from Green's location, and the Wizard's Shield gave no indication of its location.

Grimm and the fiery giant behind him both looked up.

The wreckage of half a spaceship, engulfed in flames, fell from the sky and crashed into the middle of a towering, fiery red nest a kilometer away, exploding again and turning into dozens of pieces of debris that fell to the ground.

The Crimson Nest was only slightly damaged and was otherwise intact, appearing quite sturdy.

Boom! Boom!

Two large pieces of debris were blocked by the Flame Giant's lava greatsword.

Green floated nonchalantly in mid-air. The once wide and flat Firestone Street was now littered with corpses and remains. Green could vaguely sense pairs of fearful eyes watching him from the shadows.

He had no idea how many locust-man children, their mouths covered, were staring at him with wide eyes and tears streaming down their faces all around him.

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.

call out!call out!

Two afterimages rushed towards Grimm. Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm's eyes blazed slightly. Upon discovering that they were just two weak locust-men, he immediately launched two fire bee spells at them.

Boom! Boom!

Compared to the insignificant explosions that filled the sky, the two locust-men were engulfed by the flames.

One of the locust-men was engulfed in inextinguishable flames and was howling incessantly. The other locust-men had actually activated the power of the Flame Soul. Although he was also engulfed in inextinguishable flames and looked extremely disheveled, he held his sword and continued to charge toward Grin with unwavering determination.

Bang!

After the lava greatsword collided with the locust-man's blade, the locust-man was sent flying backward at an even greater speed, crashing into the wall of a fiery red nest more than a hundred meters away before falling to the ground and never getting up again.

"Green!"

In another crater, Cretia called out to Green.

At that moment, a locust warrior, wielding a sword, moved with incredible agility, repeatedly attempting to kill her.

The surging power of the fiery soul burned fiercely. According to the wizard's ranking rules, although this locust-man was a level one creature, it was by no means the lower limit of a level one creature.

A giant synthetic scorpion covered in fleshy growths was locked in combat with the locust. Kretia's sorcery was completely different from that of a typical orthodox elemental wizard, and was extremely bizarre.

At this point, they seemed to be able to defend themselves, but lacked offensive capabilities.

This shows that trying to take shortcuts through clever tricks instead of focusing on and patiently studying the fundamental elements will ultimately amount to nothing more than a mirage.

A temporary advantage can lead to a long-term disadvantage that can spread endlessly.

"Um."

After Grimm responded, his figure twisted and appeared above Kretia's head in the next moment, blasting the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff towards the locust man.

hum...

High-density oscillation waves are emitted.

Since Green had already deactivated the first level of his Wild Transformation, his attacks did not seem to be able to inflict fatal damage on the locust-man.

The locust-man's sword, burning with fiery soul power, trembled slightly. He let out a muffled "whoosh" and flew backward dozens of meters. He glanced at Grin in fear and fled without looking back.

Green ignored the fleeing locust-man and immediately took out his crystal ball to confirm the approximate locations of the others.

They sensed that Wiki was not far from Green and Kredia, while Millie and Solem were relatively far away and could only be sensed very vaguely, but they seemed to be gathering together.

boom!

Green and Kredia turned their heads to see another demon hunter dark wizard fall near them. After the wizard's shield burned and created a crater, a giant elemental creature with a white smoke more than ten meters long slowly stood up.

An old witch stood on the giant's shoulder, her cloudy eyes warily scanning the surroundings.

"Level Two Demon Hunter Wizard!"

Green and Cretia were overjoyed.

With an additional level 2 wizard, the task of destroying the Crimson Nest becomes much easier.

The old witch looked at Kredia and Green, exclaiming in astonishment and disbelief, "Third Class Medal of Honor! First Class Medal of Honor!"

Clearly, this level-two wizard was not the demon hunter dark wizard from the space fortress where the Black Tower Saint Mark wizard resided.

Otherwise, Green wouldn't have been so surprised.

Woo woo la la...

Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings arose. The three looked over and saw that it was the sound of more than a hundred soul slaves from the Flame Soul World flying around, their crimson eyes so striking.

"Quick! Let's hide in the Crimson Nest!"

Clementine yelled as she stood on her chimera giant scorpion and raced toward the nearest crimson nest.

Green and the old witch also realized what was happening and instructed the elemental-activated creatures to cover them as they quickly flew towards the Crimson Nest.
