Wizard's Journey

Chapter 426 The War to Annihilate the Dark Empire (18)

Ten days later.

The once vast and prosperous capital of the Dark Annihilation Empire can no longer find any buildings taller than thirty meters. All that remains are the densely packed, overlapping ruins of the Crimson Nest, with countless locust-man corpses buried beneath the rubble and stones.

Creak, creak, creak...

The ruins became a paradise for the wizarding world's slave monsters, who lazily rolled around and ate anything edible except wizards.

Spaceships streaked across the sky, their shadows seemingly preparing for the next intense offensive, spreading the will of the great wizard to every corner of the world, utterly destroying the world civilization system that the locust people had spent countless years building.

Roar……

Occasionally, some Ming wizard legions would summon their own slave legions, which would then soar into the sky with a roar of flapping wings and fly into the distance.

Around the more than one hundred mysterious magic arrays hidden beneath the vast, dark ruins of the imperial capital, black moss occasionally sprouts from the corners of some building ruins, releasing wisps of black aura, which seems to be some kind of mild toxin.

However, these mosses often only last for a few hourglasses before withering away, seemingly because they cannot adapt to the climate of this world.

Actually...

However, it was the unnatural elemental ripples caused by the rules of the world that were subconsciously washing away the foreign objects!

Each elemental ripple had a reflective area only the size of a fingernail, which was negligible for most creatures in the endless world, but it seemed to have dealt a fatal blow to these abyssal moss, causing it to gradually wither under the waves of high-density elemental ripples.

hum...

A mechanical bee landed slowly, escorted by nearly a hundred demon hunter wizards. Several Dawn Wisdom Wizards from the combat command stepped out from behind the mechanical bee to conduct some secret investigations.

After taking out a crystal ball, a level two witch walked towards the nearest target, referring to the target coordinates.

In addition to the dozen or so demon hunters who were openly guarding this level two wizard, there seemed to be several dark wizards lurking nearby.

After walking for a while, the bespectacled level two witch brushed her long golden hair behind her ears, bent down and scraped some dried abyssal moss powder from the crevice wall. After observing it carefully for a moment, she nodded, took out her notebook and began to record the information.

Swish, swish, swish...

The quill pen kept rubbing against the paper.

"The abyssal moss within the twenty-ninth cultivation magic circle is capable of withstanding the purification of the world's power for three hourglasses, and has already acquired the initial ability to resist the world's power. According to the progress, it should grow into mature abyssal moss in twenty-five to thirty-five days, and then implement the second step of the Great Cataclysm plan."

After finishing her record, the witch looked around, seemingly making her own unique observations.

…………

An annexed city a hundred miles from the imperial capital was destroyed.

It is called a vassal city because from the day it was established, the city has only one purpose: to absorb the elite descendants of various families in the Dark Annihilation Capital to compete in this relatively fair miniature city. It can even be described as a Flame Soul Sword Academy.

Therefore, although this vassal city was small, it was extremely luxurious and prosperous.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

As spaceships slowly advanced, large shadows fell to the ground, followed by a barrage of massive cannons that destroyed one fiery red nest after another, with constant sounds of collapse.

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

The witch hunters guided the soul slave monsters as they descended from the sky.

There was absolutely no effective resistance. Apart from a few unfortunate locust-people who remained in the city, the entire city had long been a ghost town. Now, the wizards had simply turned this ghost town into ruins.

Building a city may take hundreds or thousands of years, but destroying it can happen in just a day.

This vassal city is just one of dozens of secondary cities around the Dark Annihilation Imperial Capital that have been invaded by demon hunter wizards. The destructive will from the distant wizarding world is invading this fallen world of Flame Souls at an alarming speed.

Locust people from every corner of the Flame Soul World flapped their wings and flew into the sky. Their vision passed through the fiery red beacon trees, through towering mountains, and gazed at the six blood-red ominous moons hanging high in the distant sky.

…………

Inside the space fortress combat command center of the Black Tower Stigmata Wizards.

After a ripple in the Heart of the Fortress, a locust-man figure appeared. However, this locust-man was holding a crystal ball and communicating with the Heart of the Fortress in wizarding language.

Behind this locust-man is another locust-man city already engulfed in panic, the setting sun a metaphor for the fading of hope and the beginning of a nightmare.

"Some Level 3 Locust People are spreading rumors that the Primordial Locust Flame God has inexplicably lost the protection of the divine kingdom. Although no Locust People have ever said it outright, the known information is that decades ago, this world secretly established a god-slaying organization, gathering some ambitious Level 3 powerhouses to seize godhood. I plan to use this as a starting point to reactivate this organization and attempt to trigger a small-scale man-made catastrophe in the Primordial Locust Empire."

After speaking calmly, the locust-man closed the crystal ball communication.

There is only one explanation for this phenomenon: this locust-man is a witcher wizard with the same First Class Medal of Honor as Grimm, who has infiltrated the locust-men to carry out covert sabotage and create chaos.

The numerous combat command wizards within the fortress command headquarters recorded this crucial intelligence information and, referring to other intelligence data, made targeted adjustments before issuing missions.

"An ancient sealing formation?"

Beneath the wide black wizard's robe, two eerie green soul flames burned fiercely in the eye sockets of a gray-white skull. He walked step by step across the former Dark Annihilation Temple square with his hands behind his back.

Thousands of trembling soul slaves lay prostrate around the square, followed by hundreds of elite demon hunter wizards.

"Yes, according to the previous information from the Demon Hunter Dark Wizard, the true purpose of this ancient sealing array hidden beneath the Dark Annihilation Imperial Capital is to seal the gate to the world."

A level three demon hunter wizard followed behind the skeleton clock tower holy mark wizard, speaking in a low voice.

"We have now broken through all the outer sealing arrays, leaving only the sealing energy source. Because it could not be destroyed in the deep sealing space, according to the accurate information from the dark wizard, there is a sealing spirit in the deep sealing space."

The sealed spirit.

These are guardians that only arise from ancient sealing formations, and their strength generally varies depending on the power of the sealed object.

"Hehehehe, interesting! So after the soul opens the gate to the world, it also needs this ancient sealing array as a complement. This world is quite interesting."

The Skull Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard laughed loudly as he walked step by step on his skeletal feet toward the ruins of the former temple.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

One by one, the ruins and remnants were blown away and smoothed by the powerful magic of the Bone Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard, revealing the underground passage of the ancient sealing array. Without the slightest hesitation, the Bone Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard stepped inside.

Following behind the Skull Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard, the Level 3 Demon Hunter Wizard waved his hand, and numerous Demon Hunter Wizards jumped down in an orderly fashion.

After about half an hourglass period.

At the deep seal entrance of the ancient sealing array, tens of thousands of magical runes blocked the spread of azure ice flames. Around the entrance, thousands of demon hunter wizards actually set up six small altars, forming an outer sealing array.

A skeletal hand extended from the black wizard's robe, and the Skeleton Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard took a wisp of azure ice flame and put it directly into his mouth.

The eerie green flames in the two eye sockets twitched slightly!

"Heh heh, this feeling is actually... interesting, heh heh heh, interesting! Open the magic sealing array!"

With a low laugh from the Skull Clock Tower Saint-Stigma Wizard, the Level 3 Archmage following behind him shouted, "Open the magic sealing array!"

The demon hunters on the six altars all extinguished the energy supply from the altar crystals.

Thousands upon thousands of magical runes flashed in mid-air before gradually dimming and extinguishing, followed by a large expanse of ice crystals spreading out with a chilling aura.

"go ahead!"

The Skull Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard was the first to step into the ice cave, completely ignoring the raging ice flames that filled the space.

With the ancient sealing array destroyed and the deep seal that once sealed the Flower of Death lost, the icy chill of this mysterious deep space can now be effectively resisted by a formal wizard.

Boom...

The Ice Bee Nest was built in the form of the Fiery Red Nest of the Flame Soul World. This frozen tide was a thousand meters high, but a huge claw suddenly extended from its top, tens of meters long, burning with raging blue ice flames, struggling upwards.

This enormous claw appears to be the source of the freezing power within the entire space.

The many Ming wizards were startled and immediately assumed defensive stances, ready to launch a full-scale attack at the command of a single order.

Level 4 creature!?

Just as the terrified Level 3 Archmage gave the order to command ten thousand Demon Hunter Wizards to launch an attack, the Bone Bell Tower Saint Mark Wizard waved his hand and said calmly, "Wait!"

Boom...

The giant claw did not attack the numerous wizards, but instead tried to break free from the ice bee nest under its claws. However, it was then forcibly pulled back into the frozen nest by a dense source of darkness.

The giant claw struggled within the frozen nest, seemingly not the sealed spirit the demon hunters had speculated about.
