Age of Adepts

The Sorcerer teams and foreign legions that had just marching majestically onto the battlefield, at this moment all began to quickly withdraw into the distance.

Whether it was the 3rd Order of the Crimson Family or the 3rd Order of the Fabres Family, they did not dare to stay on the battlefield for a moment longer and commanded their troops to quickly retreat, freeing up the vast battlefield for the two fearsome 4th Order powerhouses.

Although in the eyes of the Fabres Family Sorcerers, that 4th rank Magic Puppet Dragon wasn't really strong in every way. However, under the magical control of that legendary fire witch, it clearly exerted a powerful strength far beyond its creature level.

Since both Declan and the Demonic Puppet Dragon's fighting style was typically hard-hitting, before the troops at the edge of the battlefield had finished retreating, a vast and terrifying shockwave of smoke and dust caught them in the middle, choking and coughing.

Standing in front of the magic weapon puppet dragon that was about a hundred meters long at the head and tail, and a few as high as 60 meters, the alchemist wizard Declan was like a small sesame seed placed next to a watermelon, and if you didn't look closely, you could hardly notice his presence at all.

Don't look at the fact that his size was dozens of times inferior to that of the Demonic Puppet Dragon, but when it came to a real hard fight, it was obvious that the bigger Demonic Puppet Dragon was at a bit more of a disadvantage.

At this time, Grim was standing on top of the puppet dragon's head, having received all the control privileges of the metal dragon beneath him from the demonic goblin Gunga. He didn't hide within the body of the puppet dragon, but instead chose to fight alongside it, pouncing wildly on that Declan.

The metal legs that are as thick as the pillars of the sky, with a whistling wind, crashed and stomped on the opponent, while the hundreds of magic cannons on the back of the Magic Armoured Puppet Dragon were even more bombarded, wearing down the opponent's external defensive force field at all times.

The Declan was not foolish enough to fight with such a huge metal puppet, but stepped on the void, and with his swift body shape, he shuttled between a thick metal leg, stopping from time to time to blast a few punches into a certain area.

And whenever Declan's form paused for a moment, it was the moment when the puppet dragon and him would exchange attacks!

Declan's frenzied and unparalleled wind pressure bombs allowed it to blast the Demonic Puppet Dragon's body askew without even touching it. The Demonic Puppet Dragon, on the other hand, took the opportunity to completely flood the position that Declan was in with its dense magical energy cannons.

Through these brief encounters, Grim had also clearly detected that this Declan's natural affinity was for the wind element. It was just that he did not choose to become an elemental sorcerer, but instead used some kind of special sorcery means to fuse the wind element with his own body refining sorcery.

Other elemental sorcerers still needed sorcery spells, hand gestures, and appropriate sorcery materials to cast sorcery, but he, with his fists, wind, and feet, was a powerful and terrifying single sorcery. Not only was it a powerful and unparalleled physical attack ability, it also possessed a terrifying elemental killing power.

What's more, the moment his attack bursts out is the moment of his heart and mind, and there's no need for a buffer like an elemental sorcerer to gather magical energy and give shape to the attacking sorcery in between.

Therefore, an ordinary elemental witch who didn't have the means to distance himself from Declan would be stuck directly against him. At that point, I'm afraid he would be dead if he couldn't even send out a single large sorcery!

And don't look at the muscles on Declan's body that weren't as strong and bulging as those of a low-grade Alchemist Sorcerer, but every punch and kick held a frighteningly terrifying power.

In the Grim Chip's scans, Declan's basic attacks without any sorcery power attached to them were capable of reaching over a thousand degrees. Those combat techniques that required a short period of stamina were even able to reach a terrifying level of one thousand six hundred and seventeen. None of such attacks could be taken by Grim.

Therefore, under Grim's command, hundreds of magic energy cannons were practically chasing the opponent's body in a bombardment. The two magic energy cannons and the energy pillar in the dragon's head's mouth were ready to fire, and once they noticed that the opponent's figure had paused, it was an unceremonious burst of energy.

Even with Declan's defensive force field, he would be shattered on the spot if he took the blast from the two Magic Cannons. So after trying the terrifying power of the Magic Cannon once more, Declan also became cautious, lest he would be attacked by all three at the same time and end up in a miserable situation.

After a few attempts, Declan finally realized that the reason why the Level 3 Fire Witch stayed on the platform of the Puppet Dragon's dragon head instead of hiding was to lure him to attack him.

In order to attack the fire witch, Declan would inevitably have to stay on top of the Demon Armor Puppet Dragon. In this way, he was also exposed to the attacks of the two Magic Cannons and the energy pillar of the dragon's head. If he wasn't careful, even he could be buried by the intense cannon fire.

After understanding the other party's intentions, Declan also gave up on the plan of a swift battle, but concentrated on wandering around the Demonic Puppet Dragon, looking for the weak spots on the other party's metal body. What he paid more attention to finding were the special areas such as the vents, cooling vents, and entrances and exits on the opponent's body.

The opponent's armor was indeed hard enough, and Declan didn't believe that it was even a piece of iron inside, so he couldn't even find a crack.

In order to test these areas out, almost every part of the Demonic Puppet Dragon's body was swept away by Declan's fist wind. Visible to the naked eye, dense concave fist marks appeared on the metal body around the Magic Puppet Dragon's body. The magic energy cannons that were densely packed in various places around the puppet dragon's body were also swept away by Declan.

Soon, Declan discovered an entry and exit passageway in the lower abdomen of the Demonic Armament Puppet Dragon, while the mouth of the passageway was tilted with five layers of special metal baffles, adding up to a thickness of 2 meters.

Declan immediately, without hesitation, rushed to the metal baffle and punched out fist after fist against the intense artillery barrage and that fire witch's powerful flame sorcery attack.

Even the super alloy, which had been hardened by multiple secret arts, could not withstand Declan's flesh and blood iron fist bombardment, and the first layer of the baffle quickly shattered and twisted, revealing the second metal baffle below.

The Puppet Dragon, commanded by Grim, could not allow the opponent to break into its body so easily, so the Puppet Dragon's head hooked, its mouth opened slightly, and a thick, palpitating beam of energy swept towards Declan. Grim, who was standing on top of the dragon's head, also took the opportunity to cast an incantation and threw a large cloud of flames viciously at the opponent.

Faced with the enemy's compound attack, Declan dodged the puppet dragon's energy attack with a dodge, opting instead to take Grim's lava blasts hard so that he could continue to break the metal baffle. However, to his surprise, a strange energy of light was mixed in with Grim's ferocious flame attack, which burned an egg-sized scorch mark on his left hand that was blocking him through the defensive force field.

Faced with such a unique situation, Declan was also slightly startled!

Since he had chosen to go to war with the Crimson Family, Declan had naturally investigated the legendary fire witch in detail.

To be on the safe side, he had also acquired some Fire Resistant Pendants and Anti-** agents. With such preparations, he was confident that even if he let this 3rd rank Fire Witch attack at will, it would be impossible to break through his Flame Resistance and cause any damage to him.

But the situation in front of him was really strange, and that lava jet from the other party was indeed powerful enough to not be underestimated in a rank 3 sorcery. But that was only for a 3rd level sorcerer, and for Declan, it was impossible for that bit of flame damage to break through his external defensive force field.

A dodge to avoid the intense saving shot of the magic energy cannon, Declan looked down to examine the scorch mark on his left hand, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

It was an energy damage of the light attribute!

The energy was also very refined and had a strange penetration that other elemental sorceries did not have.

Declan frowned as he pondered hard while circulating the sorcery energy in his body.

As the powerful power surged through his left hand, the strange scorch mark was also rapidly healing and soon disappeared completely.

For a body refining sorcerer like him, the hardening and control of his body had already reached a peak. There was no need to resort to any healing sorcery, just a little energy loss would be enough to recover most of the damage done to the body.

Of course, this kind of energy healing could not repair too severely broken limbs, and could only make small adjustments and recovery to local areas of the body. Therefore, the healing wands and healing potions Declan had prepared quite a few.

With a creaking metallic noise, a series of sounds of gears and rollers running and rubbing resounded inside the metal passage that had been broken open by Declan's layer of protection. The metal baffle that was revealed was even rapidly shrinking, and the metal warehouse wall that was being squeezed over by the running of the sides closed up.

Just when Declan was in a daze, that access channel had completely disappeared.

This rank 4 Body Tempering Sorcerer gave a fierce cry of rage, dodged several times in succession to avoid most of the artillery bombardment, and then came hard against part of the artillery attack before the puppet dragon's thick metal legs, and began to attack wildly around it.

Punch after punch attack left a violent fist mark on the giant metal leg that was twenty centimeters deep. Even the super alloy hardened metal was unable to resist the flesh and blood fist of the 4th rank Body Tempering Sorcerer and dented down, leaving clear finger marks and flesh and blood lines of Declan inside.

Declan attacked wildly around this metal giant leg for a while, intending to disable its ability to move first.

Unfortunately, after half a day of trying, he finally gave up helplessly.

The body of this Demonic Puppet Dragon in front of him was really too hard, even if he punched it with hundreds of punches, it would only give its giant leg a slightly thinner body. Facing a super alloy giant leg that was 7 meters thick, such an attack would have to last at least an hour for it to succeed.

And the enemy simply wouldn't leave him with such ample time to let go of the attack!

From the moment he approached the Demonic Puppet Dragon, the defensive force field around his body had been in constant turmoil and trembling, constantly being subjected to intense artillery fire. Although it was impossible for these attacks to break through the defensive force field, they had consumed a lot of his energy.

So, after fighting with the Demonic Puppet Dragon for a while, Declan would have to move out for a moment to give the defensive force field around him a buffer and time to recover.

And this, undoubtedly slowed down the pace and frequency of the battle as well!
