Age of Adepts

The Murky Valley.

The turmoil in the valley continued.

After many rounds of sweeping and clearing, most of the foreign invaders entrenched in the depths of the Moabian Valley had been slain. But the resulting chaos of the bit laws had also turned the area into a dead zone.

Ordinary creatures couldn't survive even a single second at the bottom of the Mohu Valley, where the environment and the laws of the surface had become so harsh that it was impossible to host living matter.

The consequence of this was that the bit laws of the Wizard World had stepped back and had ceded control of the Murky Abyss Valley to the Laws of Chaos. Here, chaos was the main axis, disorder was the orthodoxy, and everything that had been familiar to witches in the past had become completely different and upside down and confusing here.

In such an environment, the Sorcerers would no longer have any advantage, and would even be suppressed by the laws of chaos, making it difficult and dangerous for them to move forward.

On the contrary, the otherworldly monsters that were already good at the Laws of Chaos were like fish in water, becoming even more ferocious and unscrupulous.

Ever since the Laws of Chaos had ruled over the Mo Yuan Valley, the Sorcerer Association had stopped sending small groups of Sorcerers into the valley floor. Instead, they firmly guarded those witch towers at the exit of the canyon to prevent overly powerful foreign demons from intruding into the association's territory.

And every day, dozens or even hundreds of demons would emerge from the bottom of the valley and try to break into the wizarding world to feast. As a result, constant battles and all sorts of bizarre killings took place at the exit.

For those who were brave and burrowed in, a sorcerous blast of thunder and smoke artillery would take them out. The only ones to worry about are those with strange magical abilities.

The only thing to worry about is those guys with strange magical abilities. They are either as fast as the wind and they don't even give the Witch Beast Troops a chance to react; or they have some kind of strange invisibility ability that allows them to sneak through the gaps in the defense line; or they can fly around and bypass the defense line of the Sorcerer's Association's Witch Tower.......

Either way, the Wizengamot could only do its best to intercept and hang on in order to try to alleviate the pressure on local defenses.

Of course, no line of defense could really be defended against water!

Therefore, the purpose of the Sorcerer's Association was to catch the big ones and release the small ones. Those 3rd and 4th level evil demons and monsters cannot be easily released from the Mo Yuan Valley. As for those little ones that can't be killed or guarded against, if there is a shortage of manpower, we will just let them go.

Anyway, the Sorcerer's Association has a perfect and strict regional defense mechanism in every region. Once these invaders show their faces there, there will naturally be a local witch army to hunt them down.

As for the loss of territory and finances they caused before they were strangled, this was one of the inevitable costs of dealing with the demonic tide.

After all, this was a once-in-a-million-years demonic tide!

...................

The 48th day of the Magic Tide outbreak....

Still a normal day, seemingly no different than ever!

Sitting inside the main control array of the 107th War Witch Tower as usual, Saguri controlled all the movements of the nearby Mohu Valley exit with the help of the densely-packed strange array around him.

Life detection witch array, elemental detection witch array, heat detection witch array, vigilance witch array, dynamic perception witch array... A large number of strange witch arrays containing more than ten different modes and different detection methods were silently operating, constantly scanning and perceiving the movement near the entrance and exit.

Ug, one of the dozens of witch arrays that were constantly operating before his eyes suddenly flickered, and a dazzling red light lit up inside.

"Hm? It's the Earth Amplitude Fluctuation Witch Formation with the farthest detection range..." sweeping a glance away, Saguri couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could it be that something has changed again at the bottom of the valley?"

As he reverberated, he pressed the third communication crystal button on his left.

"Marth, there's movement at the bottom of the valley, check it out with your sorcerous eyes!"

"Yes!"

The order quickly reached the 3rd floor of the War Witch Tower inside a secret room of witchcraft.

Here, the 1st rank sorcerer Marth hurriedly climbed up from his humble bed and stood straight in the center of the intricate wizarding formation etched on the floor.

With the chanting of an incantation, a sorcerous eye the size of a man's head appeared around the 107th War Witch Tower, and then under the control of his consciousness, he flew through the dense mist towards the entrance of the valley floor.

The mists inside the magical water mirror were constantly shaking, silently parting to the sides with the arrival of the sorcerous eye, revealing a horrifying scene that was concealed behind it.

The wretched bones and the remains of various hideous and horrifying demons were stacked on top of each other, paving a bloody path that led straight to the underground side of the Murky Valley.

The air was thick with the smell of blood, and the mournful and mournful wailing of souls was incessant.

The Eye of Sorcery broke through the fog and followed the bloody path downward, quietly flying deeper into the valley.

At first, the footage was still clear and the perception detection range was up to hundreds of meters.

But as it gradually went deeper and deeper into the valley floor, the bit law breath became thinner and thinner, more and more distorted, and the scenes seen in the water mirror became more and more blurred, the perception range was even compressed to within a dozen meters around the Eye of Sorcery.

The corpses of the demons seen along the way also became more and more powerful and violent, which could be initially experienced from the size of their remaining skeletons and the hideousness of their corpses.

However, just as the Eye of Sorcery was floating in the air half eight meters above the ground and flying towards the valley floor little by little, the entire canyon passage along with the rock walls on both sides began to tremble regularly.

Knock knock knock....

It was as if a desperate beast was slowly climbing upwards at the bottom of the valley, and the entire canyon was trembling because of its every move.

Not only the earth, but also the mist and air trembled along with the shock waves, and the images returned by the voodoo eyes were blurred and out of focus.

Not too far away, the mist parted, and an exceptionally large and strange demon entered the picture. In the next second, the Eye of Sorcery suddenly burst.

The 1st rank wizard Mas, who was controlling the Eye of Sorcery in the War Witch Tower No. 107, far away from the exit of the canyon, shuddered in fear and hurriedly connected with his boss, 2nd rank wizard Saguri.

"Quick... prepare the shield... War Behemoth... this time it's a War Behemoth!"

Whirling, ear-piercing alarm sounds spread throughout the entire War Tower Forest.

From the tower's base to its tip, the densely packed and intricate rune formations began to light up one after another. An eggshell-like energy shield appeared one after another, enveloping the towers and isolating them from all internal and external connections.

After that, a wave-like tidal wave of energy began to converge on one of the towers, lingering around it, ready to transform into a violent, offensive sorcery that could deal a head-on blow to the enemy.

And as soon as they were ready, an earth-shattering and thoroughly sharp ape cry resounded at the exit of the canyon.

In the next second, a figure of more than fifty meters tall, covered with short thick black hard hairs of the violent giant ape ran out from the fog.

The hideous and terrifying face had a pair of scarlet-red, bloodshot pupils as if they were searching for a searchlight as they fiercely swept the surrounding area.

And its slightly open fanged maw rolled with a thunderous low roar, puffing out two puffs of heavy white smoke inside its puffed out nose.

Rank 4... this was a Rank 4 Berserk Giant Ape!

Almost the moment it became clear of the other party's identity, a berserk and peerless thunderbolt of lightning had cut through the long sky and struck at it.

The Berserk Giant Ape's eyes were fiercely malevolent, its hands clasped behind its head, bowing down, and a cloud of earthy-yellow smoke condensing around its body, quickly concealing itself.

In the next second, the entire battlefield was covered in burning, blindingly bright thunderbolts!

The thunder rumbled and the electricity scorched.

The center of the battlefield was enveloped by a white storm of lightning, and countless free man extended droplet-like balls of lightning splashed everywhere, landing with a crackling pop wherever they landed.

The arena was instantly filled with the scorched smell of blood and flesh being scorched by electricity!

The wild lightning storm lasted for a full ten seconds before it slowly subsided. When the white glare completely dissipated, the behemoth-like scorched black flesh mountain in the center of the field was revealed.

Finally, the mountain of flesh moved slightly.

Large clusters of scorched black withered flesh and blood fragments crumbled down from the Flesh Mountain, and it was as if a black rain had fallen on the field.

Ugg, on the scorched black flesh mountain, a pair of scarlet blood pupils the size of a millstone fiercely opened, their fierce eyes staring straight at the 107th War Witch Tower nearest to it.

"The attack power isn't enough..." the Saguri Shaman who presided over War Witch Tower 107's heart pounded wildly, frantically shrieking at all the communication crystals, "Keep attacking... ...keep attacking..."

As far as the eye could see, the twelve War Witch Towers once again began their difficult energy gathering, and a dazzling lightning light began to jump and flash on the towers. Apparently, giving them another seven or eight seconds of preparation, the next round of lightning attacks would be able to descend from the sky, drowning the terrifying enemy in front of them in a terrifying wave of thunder and lightning fury.

Unfortunately, the Berserk Giant Ape would apparently not give them that chance again!

A loud and shocking roar, berserk great ape body shake wildly, shaking off the surface of the scorched flesh, regardless of the terrible injury, like a mad tiger pounced on the 107th War Witch Tower.

The Berserk Giant Ape really wants to stand up, the twenty-seven-meter tall War Witch Tower may only be as tall as its navel. This is the first time I've ever been to the War Witch Tower.

There was a terrifying crack.

No. 107 War Witch Pagoda broke in the middle, broken by the punch.

The upper half of the tower flew hundreds of meters away with a whimper, tumbling all the way to the ground and disappearing. The remaining lower half of the tower was in a mess, and a series of loud cracking noises were heard, and the sharp-eyed could still see the disoriented human shamans in the remaining half of the witchcraft chamber.

They looked up at the terrifying great ape that looked like a fierce evil spirit with fear on their faces, and pulled out their sorcery scrolls to escape to the other war witch tower. In the space of the Tower, a dazzling teleportation light rose and fell.

However, there are always a few who are slow, and when they notice something is wrong and pull out their escape scrolls to escape, the world in front of them darkens.

The Berserk Giant Ape's terrifying iron fist that enveloped the sky and the earth smashed down once again.

Thud....

The lower half of the remaining War Witch Tower was smashed to pieces along with the tower's base!

The battlefield was instantly silent!
