Chapter 474 - 275: Alone Against the Masses (2)
Eliot’s face was so dark it seemed water might drip from it.
The atmosphere in the hall was stagnant, and the faces of the gathered wizards also looked grim.
The combat power of that large Wizard Tower from the Star Alliance was unusually formidable, even able to reverse and destroy a mid-sized Wizard Tower while under siege from one large Wizard Tower and three mid-sized Wizard Towers on our side!
It’s simply inconceivable!
"The Maze Lock Protective Energy Field and Elemental Pool of that Wizard Tower have definitely been enhanced!" a wizard said through gritted teeth, "And its firepower is exaggeratedly strong, with over three hundred Spell Towers alone!"
Eliot glared at the wizard speaking, ignoring this obvious nonsense.
He had intended to concentrate firepower on destroying the Star Alliance’s only large Wizard Tower first, but the other Wizard Towers were either entangled by the Star Alliance’s Wizard Towers or were dealing with the suicide attacks from those flying demon ships, leaving them unable to break free.
The situation reached a stalemate, even faintly unfavorable to the Black Rope Tower!
Before instigating the war, Eliot had never imagined they would fall into such a situation.
The confidence and certainty of victory he felt not long ago had completely dissipated now.
If he had known the Star Alliance possessed such power, he would have been more prudent in his actions, at the very least collaborated with other Wizard influences and attacked the Star Alliance together!
But it was too late to react now.
After a moment of indecisive expressions, Eliot’s gaze turned fierce, determined.
"Hand over all Wizard Towers to the Tower Spirit for control and command, all wizards, move out immediately!"
Since they couldn’t gain an advantage in basic combat power and war creations, they must vie for high-level combat power!
He didn’t believe the Star Alliance could have more wizards than the Black Rope Tower!
One must know that in this operation, to extract as much profit as possible, he had brought no less than four hundred wizards!
There were more than twenty Level 2 Wizards alone!
As the war continued, both sides’ Wizard Towers had expended most of their energy, reducing their threat to wizards greatly.
And so, upon hearing Eliot’s order, the Black Rope Tower wizards did not resist; instead, they were eager and ready for action.
From the outbreak of the war to now, they had been suppressed by the Star Alliance, feeling aggrieved and eager for a counterattack.
Soon, a group of wizards charged out of the Wizard Tower.
Inside the Starlight Wizard Tower, Sunan, Lize, and the others were also aware of this development.
"Those guys couldn’t hold back." Lize looked at Sunan, "Should we head out to battle?"
The others also solemnly turned their gazes to Sunan, waiting for his orders.
With only a little over two hundred wizards deployed by the Star Alliance this time, they were greatly outnumbered by the Black Rope Tower’s side, even if the advantage of Wizard-level puppets were added, it would undoubtedly be a tough battle.
But if they stayed hidden inside the Wizard Tower without engaging, the participation of so many Black Rope Tower wizards in the battlefield would surely affect the situation significantly, causing the Star Alliance to lose its hard-won advantage.
To attack or not to attack was indeed a difficult decision.
Facing everyone’s gaze, Sunan’s expression remained as composed as ever as he calmly issued the order.
"I’ll make the first move, you all go later."
This peculiar order stunned everyone, but before they could react, Sunan had already left the Starlight Wizard Tower.
Everyone turned to Lize.
In Sunan’s absence, Lize was the highest-ranking person.
The Staff frowned and said, "Is Master Sunan going to face the Black Rope Tower’s wizards alone? Isn’t that too risky?"
"Indeed," Rose expressed concern, "The Eye of the Stars’ monitoring net shows that the Black Rope Tower mobilized over four hundred wizards!"
Lize hesitated for a moment, but eventually said, "Let’s wait and see."
Although puzzled by Sunan’s actions, her past experiences led her to choose to trust Sunan.
Seeing Lize say so, everyone exchanged glances but said no more, focusing collectively on the light screen.
On the screen, Sunan had already arrived in the sky above the battlefield.
The Black Rope Tower wizards also noticed Sunan’s arrival.
Seeing only Sunan alone, Eliot and others wore expressions of surprise.
"Just one person?"
"What is the Star Alliance planning?"
"Are they trying to block us single-handedly?"
"What a joke, this is too contemptuous!"
Eliot snorted coldly, interrupting everyone’s words, sneering, "Whatever they’re planning, just kill him; if Star Alliance wizards stay hidden in the Wizard Tower, even better!"
Everyone agreed, their eyes flashing coldly with killing intent.
Over four hundred wizards floated in mid-air, without dazzling armor or imposing vigor, but the spiritual force field formed by countless external spirits intertwining and merging enveloped most of the battlefield, creating a heavy oppressive feeling as if a giant stone weighed upon one’s heart, making it hard to breathe.
The soldiers on the ground unconsciously retreated, avoiding the center of the wizard confrontation.
As the target of the spiritual force field, Sunan immediately felt the heavy, stagnating invisible pressure charging towards him.
He chuckled lightly, and the Absolute Forbidden Zone force field spread, instantly dispelling the invisible pressure enveloping him.
Following that, [Talent Specialization] activated!
After breaking through to liquidization at Level 3, the Alchemy Imprint under [Talent Specialization] was enhanced again, increasing the effect on Talent Ability by over threefold, approaching fourfold potency.
Before the Black Rope Tower wizards could take action, Sunan took the lead.
And his first action was a maximum lethal strike!
Fallen Star Rain!
The sky instantly darkened!
Boundless darkness swiftly swept over the entire sky, countless brilliant stars emerged and twinkled with a silvery, stern light within the night.
"What is this?"
"Talent Ability?"
"What are you standing around for, kill him quickly!"
Eliot’s cold shout roused everyone, and the Black Rope Tower wizards realized the risk and all struck towards Sunan.
Colorful magical light flooded towards Sunan like a torrent, yet stopped abruptly within hundreds of meters in front of him, as if hitting some invisible force, mutually annihilating and dissipating, ultimately disappearing completely within ten meters of Sunan.
This sight left the Black Rope Tower wizards speechless!
"A protective force field? No, that’s not right, a protective force field can’t be this powerful; it must be some sort of defensive Talent Ability!"
"And that, it’s the Alchemy Imprint!"
Eliot was shocked internally.
What kind of defensive Talent Ability could withstand a joint attack from over four hundred wizards without a scratch?
Even with the enhancement of the Alchemy Imprint, it was unbelievably exaggerated!
Eliot quickly realized that if the opponent’s defensive Talent Ability could possess such terrifying defensive power under the boost of the Alchemy Imprint, then what kind of potency could be expected from the Talent Ability before him?
In an instant, a strong sense of unease emerged from deep within him.
The next moment, in the night sky, countless stars simultaneously trembled, drawn by immense force to carve dazzling trajectories through the void, bearing a momentum like crashing seas as they bombarded towards everyone!
Such a terrifying, formidable spectacle caused the Black Rope Tower wizards to change color collectively.
Without hesitation, they activated their magical items and furiously unleashed various spells and Talent Abilities, aiming to halt the descending stars!
But it was all in vain.
The brilliant stars shredded all attacks into pieces, blazing with trailing flames as they fiercely crashed onto everyone, filling the air with cries of agony, one wizard after another swiftly purified by the radiant brilliancy, dissolving and disintegrating!
The descent of the stars lasted for over a dozen breaths, then the night sky faded away, returning to a clear sky.
Eliot dispersed the dark flames around him, immediately looking around, and upon seeing the scene, felt an icy chill to his core.
Where the four hundred wizards behind him once stood, now fewer than two hundred remained!
Nearly three hundred Level 1 Wizards perished under the previous strike!
Inside the Starlight Wizard Tower, the Staff and others, watching the scene unfold on the screen, felt their mouths dry, their minds dazed, unable to speak for a long time.
