Four-Armed Divine Emperor
Page 86
According to the convention among spellcasters, except for a few special moments, such as being commissioned by the White Tower or appointed by the royal family, the status of mages is discussed according to their "academic qualifications" or "grade".
Of course, it still depends on the specific "results". If a wizard does not perform well in exams (grades), but is actually an all-round genius and a specialized boss, it is common for him to be surrounded by "peers" and favored and respected by "seniors".
It is not uncommon for spellcasters on the victorious side to respectfully greet their "seniors" who are more skilled than themselves after a battle, and let them sit at the head of the table to preside over the banquet.
So, as the loser, the Alan wizard, who felt he could argue and use his seniority and strength to speak for himself, was dissatisfied with the Romans' arrangement. He was a six-ring spellcaster named Sandy Jerem.
The Northern Army was defeated miserably and completely.
When the mortal army is defeated, the mages continue to fight without auxiliary troops. This is very dangerous when the enemy's mortal soldiers have already demonstrated strong will and fighting ability. Therefore, in most cases, spellcasters will not put themselves in a dangerous position. After the mortal army is defeated, they will also retreat. Few want to rely on their own strength to stabilize the front line.
Therefore, the advisory group did not actually engage in a full-scale battle with the Roman side. The prince was assassinated, the enemy attacked at night, internal rebels rioted, and logistics were cut off... Under all these blows, the advisory group had limited room to play in the army's retreat on the night of the attack and the pursuit the next day. They made an effort to stabilize morale at noon, and with the cooperation of the auxiliary troops, used magic to repel the Roman pursuers. Then, after realizing that the legion was powerless to recover, they decided to make an "honorable armistice" to the equal enemy after a collective vote.
The six-ring wizard, when not involving the seven-ring spellcasters and those "demigods" who have entered the extraordinary realm and possess magical powers, are already the top combat force that can appear in the mortal world war.
In private, he is respected by mortals as "Your Excellency the Grand Master".
As Sandy Jerem, who specializes in the energy-shaping department, if he fires at full power without regard for the consequences, he can defeat a team of a thousand people by himself.
Even if the scale is expanded to the entire battlefield and filled with hundreds of thousand-man teams, his role will only increase.
The Shaping Department is a special profession. Generally speaking, the more advanced the spells in this field are, the stronger the destructive power will be, and the louder the noise will be when they are used.
Sandy drives the control of elements and can create hundreds of fireballs at the same time to smash into the enemy's formation. Although the actual effect may not be as good as a volley of fire, for mortals, the most important thing in war is morale. The higher the level of the mage, the greater the deterrence he can cause to the enemy and the greater the improvement he can bring to his own side.
The combined damage of these one hundred fireballs to a dragon may not be as great as that of a single [Frozen Lance], but to mortals, it is more severe than the latter.
This is the difference between single spells and group attacks...
As a young spellcaster who has stepped into the threshold of true transcendence at the age of sixty-two, Sandy's appearance is still maintained at the middle-aged stage through spells and potions. He has a beautiful beard and is a typical fire worshipper wizard.
He was born into a religious family and was influenced by it since childhood. He attaches great importance to "tradition" and "rules". In today's Alan Empire, where luxury and enjoyment are generally advocated and internal strife is constant, apart from his identity as a transcendent, he is also a relatively positive "lawful" figure.
Chapter 127: Ardabil (45)
However, this corresponding "emphasis on order" also makes it more stubborn in these aspects, such as at this moment...
Sandy, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, ignored the toasts from the three Roman mage elders. He had previously had a good exchange with the Roman mage sitting on his right. The latter was obviously also an academic gourmet. When he discussed the issues with Lord Liuhuan, they had a back-and-forth discussion, and both benefited from it. It should have been the beginning of a harmonious "class reunion".
But after the elders arrived, took the seat at the head of the table, announced their identities, and toasted everyone, he stood up and issued a dissatisfied rebuke:
"I don't care what your reasons are for coming to Thurso and cooperating with the barbarians."
"But how could you forget the most basic etiquette? You should respect your seniors and those who have made progress!"
Sandy was obviously dissatisfied that after he arrived, the Roman side not only did not send an equal, or at least a six-ring spellcaster to "equally receive" him, but instead only sent a five-ring spellcaster to preside over the event.
This is obviously rude and may also be interpreted as disregard for him.
Of course, Sandy's conflict creation wasn't simply due to etiquette issues... After all, he was also an Alan.
The Imperial Legion was betrayed
Chapter 251
Betrayal, collusion with barbarians, and miserable defeat are things that anyone who has a little affection for and identification with their country would be dissatisfied with.
But losing is losing.
At least until the traitors are liquidated, the barbarians are now sitting in the hall as "victors".
But Sandy still had to give them some eye drops.
He Bin did not consider whether his provocation would irritate the enemy and lead to bloodshed on the spot...
Even for the most bloodthirsty and brutal barbarians, it is hard to imagine that they would slaughter a six-ring mage after agreeing to the invitation of an honorable truce and holding a banquet. It is even more exaggerated than the defeat of Alan's northern expeditionary army by the barbarians.
It’s not that there are no mages who die suddenly in this world.
Death on the battlefield, poisoning, assassination, even execution... but all of these can be summed up in two words:
"Benefit" and "Reason"
Profits drive people to take risks, regardless of the consequences. If a mage colluded with rebels to murder the emperor and usurp the throne, and the emperor didn't even have the power to execute him, then the authority of the mortal monarch would be completely trampled into the dust by the White Tower...
Besides, the struggles between schools are not without bloodshed. How can the White Tower use its authority to protect the apprentices?
If one cannot emerge from the trials and tribulations of the mortal world, even if one follows the steps and walks safely onto the path to transcendence, then when one explores the astral realm in the future, how will the "blank slate transcendent" mages who have no combat experience face the multiverse that contains infinite beauty and infinite danger?
......
Sandy Jerrum didn't even think he would anger the Romans.
Mortals only fear the extraordinary, and swallowing a spit in their face is the most basic thing.
As for the three "ignorant" Roman mages in front of him, Sandy thought they would never dare to talk to his senior about this matter. The most likely thing they would do is apologize and change seats, or just muddle through and skip over the topic. Then he would simply walk away without giving them any face.
Chapter 199: Blood Rebirth
For Sandy Jerem, the failure of this war was hard for him to accept, but since the fact had already happened, as the most extraordinary six-ring spellcaster present, he had enough confidence and qualifications to give the enemy an unfair victory.
But the Romans obviously did not respect the attitude of this high-level wizard.
The one sitting in the center, who seemed to be the most important five-ring wizard present on the Roman side, was a woman with long, brilliant golden hair.
She just glanced at Sandy, a strange, half-smile on her face, and then shook her head slightly.
The traditional, arrogant archmage immediately felt a great personal humiliation.
He subconsciously wanted to hold something, but then he remembered that in order to show friendship, at occasions like banquets, extraordinary people would not carry any magical instruments except robes, so he angrily waved his sleeves and was about to continue scolding his junior classmates who were hanging out with the barbarians and "making money through illegal means" when he suddenly found himself stiff and unable to move.
"when!?"
A thought flashed through the mind of the Six-Ring Mage, and he became somewhat panicked.
"Why?!"
This was his second thought.
He was immobilized without even noticing any magical fluctuations, which made the wizard feel panic.
Sandy, whose eyeballs were the only thing that could still move, scanned around within his limited visual range, trying to find any signs that someone was casting a spell on him.
"This is at a banquet!"
He couldn't think of any reason why the Romans did this?
Just because he had offended them on the grounds of etiquette? Was he going to offend a Sixth Ring Mage to death?
Casting a spell on a transcendent without their consent at any time is considered an extremely serious act of provocation.
Extraordinary people who master the power of magic can use this power to create countless possibilities, and can also easily take the lives of hundreds or thousands of people, so they will never put their life and death in the hands of others.
Any transcendent below the seventh ring, even if he is stronger than Sandy Jerem, a genius, as long as he has not reached the "demigod" realm of transcendence, there is still the possibility of being killed by a dagger, an arrow, or the magic cast by an unfamiliar apprentice mage.
A confinement spell like Human Immobilization, which almost completely restricts all actions except thinking, can almost be said to have been declared defeated if one party is unfortunately caught in the fight and cannot resolve it.
A wave of fear rose in Sandy Jerrum's heart.
He just had a terrible thought:
Being able to restrain him silently and unnoticed, it was obvious that the opponent was much stronger than him...
Could it be that in the Roman camp, or those "masterminds" who dominated all this, specially arranged a seven-ring true "grand wizard" and "demigod" extraordinary person to take charge in this wild land of Thurso?
.......
The mage has been immersed in his inner world for a long time, thinking and meditating, and his thoughts run faster than those of ordinary mortals.
From panic to "awakening", only a moment passed when Sandy Jerem discovered that he was fixed.
Even the people attending the banquet had not noticed that something was wrong with the Six-Ring Mage, and were still observing the atmosphere in low voices.
Sandy Jerem argued about his personal status and etiquette, and to expand on this, he used it to attack the Romans for "not knowing
Chapter 252
The barbaric and vulgar behavior of "Li" had nothing to do with the vast majority of people present. Even the advisory mages of Alan's side would not think of cheering for the "Chief" in such matters. The reason was simple: they were not at the level of Sandy Jerem.
But soon, what was about to happen became relevant to everyone.
A huge, invisible psychic barrier enveloped the entire banquet hall as someone hiding in the dark took action.
The meeting hall of the Helveys Fortress could not accommodate so many people for banquets and discussions, so two other banquet venues nearby were also engulfed by this powerful psychic power.
At the same time, he issued an order to all his people present.
Suddenly, something strange happened.
Many Alan mages, engaged in various actions like swallowing and communicating, were suddenly horrified to find themselves unable to move! Frozen in place, before they could react, the accompanying "Roman mages" or mortal attendants suddenly dropped their seemingly friendly facades. Their faces each revealed a certain sacredness, as if they were in a solemn prayer. They reached out and grabbed the immobilized Alan people beside them.
"Holy~ Reverend Father, the ancestor of genes!"
Many prayers were chanted in unison, turning the banquet scene, which was just a moment full of joy and happiness, into a solemn and dignified church.
Hundreds of pairs of psychic appendages appeared at the same time, and their sharp claws cut through the mages' skin, which was actually no different from that of mortals, and injected the seeds from the genetic clan into the bodies of these nearly two hundred Alan transcendents.
After entering a strange body, the seeds of aggression spread through the limbs and blood at a relatively fast speed throughout the human body.
Their unparalleled erosive ability will enable them to rapidly expand through the process of devouring, digesting, and replicating in the human body, transforming every cell in the human body into new blood branded with the "Four-Armed One's Mark."
Enter the heart, enter the brain, and eventually transform an individual with free will into a new four-armed being who is willing to give everything for the tribe under the banner of respecting the father, and who values the tribe and the father above all else!
There was not a single wail.
The imprisoned people could only endure in horror as the enemies suddenly turned against them and seemed to be injecting something into their bodies. Then they would lose consciousness in severe pain. Only at this point would the restraints on them be removed by El.
Before the decisive battle officially began, Al had already arrived at the front line of Helveys.
In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, especially since there is a high-level spellcaster among the enemies that the Four-Armed Man has not dealt with yet, Al must go to the battlefield in person.
Of course, he doesn't need to show up in public.
With Al's current strength, he can completely tamper with the cognition of tens of thousands of people silently. Even if he flies in the sky, no one will observe his existence. After the battlefield and the attempt just now, he has been convinced that the strongest enemy this time, the six-ringed shapeshifting mage Sandy Jerem, has no awareness of his existence at all.
He used his psychic power to suppress the opponent, and the latter had no power to resist. This made Al lose the desire to act cautiously, and he simply gave orders to his sons to transform these mages on the spot.
Give blood new life.
Embrace greatness.
120: Feast
A banquet where tragedy suddenly occurs.
Blood flew everywhere and flesh was deformed, instantly turning the originally joyful mortal banquet into a hellish scene in the style of Cthulhu.
As the strongest among the group of mages, the six-ring mage Sandy Jerem was fortunate enough to receive a seed from El who was hiding nearby, giving him the opportunity to be reborn.
In that case, he would become a glorious second-generation heir, theoretically belonging to the same generation as Elsa, Caesar and others.
Having selected several new talents, Al has now completely improved his gene seed to a very stable level. The chance of successful transformation is 100%, but the possibility of some physical deformities in the subject cannot be ruled out.
Chapter 127: Ardabil (46)
For example, an extra eye appears between the eyebrows, a pair of wings grow, or both eyes become one-eyed, etc.
However, this kind of deformity is not simply a physical disability or mutation, but often comes with some special effects.
For example, if a child has a third eye on his forehead, the extra eye may have the following features:
Rays, mind control (stronger than the abilities of the children of El), invisibility, petrification and even "precognition" - but only fragmented fragments can be seen, and they are not necessarily special abilities related to the El race.
This made Al, who had felt regretful at the beginning, start to pay more attention to the "mutations" that seemed to occur randomly during the transformation process.
After all, even his most bizarre offspring:
It looked like a skinned giant, its naked flesh and tendons exposed to the air, with countless equally bloody tentacles growing out of it, each of them a living, independent entity.
A slime-like creature, originally a nomadic noble on the Altai steppe, transformed into a pool of mud, but still retains self-awareness and the ability to revert to human form, and can split into hundreds of figurine-sized figures;
The first and only heir with the ability to predict the future. He has become somewhat foolish and crazy since the awakening of his ability. He always talks uncontrollably and describes the scenes he sees to others. If Al orders him to shut up,
Chapter 253
He will choose to remain silent, but he will suffer great pain, and will only feel better when he speaks out;
The fragmented events he could see included those around Rome, those far away, and even those that were impossible to tell whether they were still within the scope of El's world. Some had already happened, and some had yet to come. El ordered his three descendants to record the things described by the prophetic descendant without stopping. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or... When he read the news that could reveal the supreme secrets to the world, he saw some fragments that made him feel familiar...
Besides, this ability has significant limitations. Al had tried to have his offspring predict a specific event, or the future and past related to a person or thing, but it was difficult for the offspring to guarantee accuracy. There was often only one correct answer and one correct process...
