Age of Adepts

The biggest change after the merging of Calamity and the Wizards was that the speed of advancement began to accelerate.

According to hidden intelligence, the Gods World, the Abyssal World, the Titan Gold Family, the Star Alliance, and a number of other astral beings with great power had all invaded the Morian Plane one after another. Therefore, every additional day spent here was a huge adventure.

And with an attack target as huge and lucrative as the Floating City, there would definitely be more than one or two targeting them. Moreover, among the tasks assigned by the main team, attacking the Ruijing Garden Floating Sky City was one of the most important tasks of the trip.

Therefore, on the seventh day after making an alliance with that calamity little lord Evil Hoof, Grim and his group arrived at Floating Sky City day and night.

The current Floating Sky City was vastly different from the past.

The number of towering arcane towers on it was obviously much less, and even the number of those essential arcane guard towers had been cut down to an extremely low level.

And below the massive body of the Floating Sky City, on top of a golden grassland, countless fugitives from all directions were gathered there, struggling to climb up a floating saucer, trying to hide within the Floating Sky City that possessed a sturdy arcane barrier.

A large number of arcane masters and arcane apprentices were shouting loudly, directing a tall arcane puppet that was barely maintaining order in the place. And mixed in with the crowd were long caravans carrying all kinds of materials and supplies that the Floating City desperately needed.

As Grim, Holly, and Qiu Lisa climbed a small hill and peeked at everything there, large groups of aberrant beasts climbed over the hills, crossed the grasslands, and began to appear below Floating Sky City.

Immediately, the group gathered at the lower part of the floating city waiting for the floating saucer panicked.

Countless men, women, and children shrieked in fear and fled desperately into the distance. The frightened mules and horses running haphazardly through the crowd also made the situation increasingly difficult to control.

Several floating saucers that had landed on the ground and were loading supplies and people hurriedly rose up and swayed to the floating city. There were still many people clinging to the edges of the discs, shrieking and begging for help.

Finally, when the disk rose into the air, those people who were clinging to the edges of the disk were exhausted and fell into the sky one by one, screaming and screaming.

The Aurors and apprentices who remained on the ground to control the situation had no escape, and could only desperately direct the Auror puppets to form a circle around them, protecting themselves and a portion of the fleeing populace.

Grim could see clearly that the natives on the other side were like a nest of fried ants. On their periphery, a wave of black waves was rapidly approaching.

There were all sorts of monsters in the alien beasts, and they were all violent and brutal.

Therefore, the two sides only slightly touched, and a clear line of blood erupted from the front of the battlefield.

This place was close to the Floating Sky City, and the number of apprentices who had mastered the basic arcane arts had suddenly increased. In the midst of the crowd, a ball of different colored energy fell like raindrops into the herd of alienated beasts, blowing up flesh and blood and causing countless limbs to be broken.

However, how could this little elemental attack possibly stop the attack of the alien beasts.

It was like a bubble wrapped up by a huge wave, and before anyone could cheer, the crazed beasts pounced into the crowd, teaching the beginners a lesson with their fierce bites and sharp claws and teeth.

Squeak squeak squeak....

A 3-meter tall arcane puppet stepped heavily and lined up in front of the crowd, appearing in front of the herd of alienated beasts. They weren't all-metal-architecture tin men, but revitalized arcane creations.

There weren't too many metal components on their entire bodies, and their entire bodies were a patchwork of arcane energies, with only a few thin metal rings created at a few key locations to constrain these arcane energies into a humanoid form.

After this transformation, the arcane puppets' physical attack and defense power was necessarily greatly reduced, but they singularly possessed the ability to cast arcane spells.

As they strutted forward, they lifted their hands and stirred* to shoot out a ball of energy with an attack power as high as eighty to ninety degrees. The strength of such an attack was on par with that of an ordinary Tier 1 Sorcerer, but the advantage was the swift release, almost reaching 2 seconds per ball.

Faced with this batch of indifferent arcane puppets, the leaders and chiefs inside the group of alienated beasts immediately went berserk and rushed into the cluster, killing them inside with their attacks.

The group of arcane puppets that numbered no more than 30 didn't even last for half a quarter of an hour before they were quickly scrapped.

The Arcane Puppets who saw the bad news made their way to their feet, trying to escape back to Floating Sky City before the alienated beast cluster closed in.

Unfortunately, they acted a little too late!

There was also a large number of flying exotic beasts in the alien beast herd, either with eagle wings or sheath wings on their backs, and when they saw the Olympians trying to escape, they immediately flapped their wings and flew up into the sky, surrounding them.

A few brilliant arcane lights swept by, and a dozen black and red monsters fell mournfully into the sky. But the besieged Olympians also never managed to break out, and eventually the shields outside their bodies were breached, and then, in a burst of you-know-what tearing and devouring, they were shredded into bloody, mutilated corpses.

It wasn't until this moment that the Floating Sky City reacted.

More than a dozen arcane warning towers circled and flew around, bursting down from the clouds and pouring a terrifying arcane torrent into those regions where the alienated beasts were the densest and most forward of the herd.

Naturally, the alienated beasts would not rest, and a large number of flying beasts rose up into the sky and soon became entangled with the Arcane Vigilance Towers.

The Austrians might be very fragile individually, unable to fight the Alienation Beasts head-on. But once they hid inside the Arcane Vigilance Towers, with the support of the Arcane facilities, their individual strength was instantly magnified by more than ten times.

Although there were not many high-ranking arcane masters in the dozen or so arcane warning towers, the sturdy towers and the arcane energy inside were still able to fight with the alienated beasts, and the battle was fierce.

For a while, above the sky, all sorts of energy light swept across the sky, pounding corpses sprinkled down like rain.

The evil hoof hiding in the herd did not care about the casualties of his men, but also could not let them consume here in vain.

Therefore, as those arcane vigilance towers slaughtered the beast herd with impunity, the earth trembled, the soil crumbled, and three huge stone puppets of over ten meters in size emerged from the ground.

As soon as these stone puppets appeared, they raised their rocky skulls resembling honeycombs, raised their arms high, and condensed a huge stone block between their palms. Then they swung their arms and smashed into the Arcane Vigilance Tower that was flying in the air with a whimper.

An Arcane Vigilance Tower couldn't dodge and was hit by three boulders at the same time, immediately swaying and falling into the sky.

The alienated beasts on the ground that had been tragically ravaged by foot tenderness roared and gathered around, quickly drowning it in the black tide of beasts.

The rest of those Arcane Vigilance Towers were furious at the situation, and four of them hovered down, unceasingly attacking the beasts that were already stacked as high as a small mountain, trying to free their companions from it. And more Vigilance Towers unleashed a swift chain of lightning, crazily chopping at the three giant stone puppets.

These three stone puppets were all as high as peak level 2, so naturally they couldn't be split apart by a zone energy lightning chain. The rocks on their bodies were scorched black, collapsing and crumbling down quite a bit like a mudslide. However, with the flash of the earthy elemental aura in their bodies, a large amount of earth elements snaked and flowed down their legs to the missing spots on the surface of their bodies, where they quickly re-solidified into a new layer of rocky skin.

Thus, carrying the attacks of the Arcane Vigilance Towers hard, the three-headed stone puppets actually held on.

Several of the Arcane Vigilance Towers grew more and more urgent, and actually hovered somewhere in mid-air, and began to communicate with the Floating City above, guiding the real Arcane Towers to launch an even fiercer attack.

Seeing this great opportunity, how could that evil hoof let go easily.

It suddenly emerged from the dirt beneath a few of the Arcane Vigilance Towers, raised its head to the sky and roared, covering the four Arcane Vigilance Towers with a huge yellow-brown aura.

Gravitational Aura!

A gravitational aura unleashed by a 4th Order Calamity Young Lord himself!

The four Arcane Vigilance Towers immediately shook and trembled, and began to slide downwards continuously.

The arcane masters inside saw that it was bad, and hurriedly poured more arcane energy into the floating ring at the base of the tower there, which barely resisted the pull of the powerful gravity without actually falling into the sky.

Suddenly discovering the figure of that 4th Order Calamity Little Lord, the arcane masters also panicked, shaking the tower as they tried their best to get rid of the gravity aura, while inspiring another arcane attack that hit the other side like a storm.

However, just as the Arcane Vigilance Tower and the Gravity Aura were locked in a standoff, a fiery fireball of deep and convergent color pierced the sky and struck their tower.

This time, the Arcane Vigilance Towers could no longer maintain their own stability, and one by one, they fell from the sky with spinning and black smoke.

Thousands of meters away, the tall fireman incarnated by Grim stepped into the battlefield with heavy steps, slowly stepping into the battlefield with a curl of boundless flames. Under the strikes of his fierce and violent fiery fireballs, those Arcane Vigilance Towers were unable to escape from the attack range and were knocked down one by one into the sky.

The last two remaining Arcane Vigilance Towers turned around as if they were fleeing back to Floating Sky City, but were viciously punched straight down into the sky by a mysterious fellow who fell from the sky, his entire body wrapped in strange silver armor.

Losing the advantage of flying, once these Arcane Vigilance Towers fell to the ground, it would be impossible for them to break free from the siege of the alienated beast herd.

Seeing that the two 'allies' were still quite effective and hadn't been sneaky, that Evil Hoof only nodded in satisfaction.

It had come this time to harvest and slaughter the lives and souls of the Floating City, so how could it be trapped on the ground.

The evil hoof stood proudly on the ground, and for the first time began to use the power of the earth element within its body with all its might. As it opened its hideous mouthparts, the earth elements within the entire land frantically converged on its body.

In the next second, a thick stone pillar rose up into the sky, rising rapidly into the sky against this evil hoof.

Those exotic beasts that could fly flapped their wings and quickly flew above the clouds around the stone pillar. The more alienated beasts, however, leapt up and climbed the stone pillar with their sharp claws, scrambling to be the first to rush towards the floating city.

The dreaded siege only really began at this moment!
