Age of Adepts

Chapter 1523 - Battlefield Fiasco

Divine power rippled in bursts, and violent magic power washed over all matter in space....

When the wave of divine power receded a bit, a staggering scene appeared in the center of the battlefield.

Grim had converged on his flaming body and curled up into a ball. Outside of it, a rock giant of ten meters in size was half kneeling and bowing, shielding him with his body and arms. That sturdy, tall body left horrific marks from the rampage of violent divine power, but it did not break down its rock protection.

And the Grim under its protection was even more unscathed.

Only when the turbulence had weakened to a harmless level did Grim stand up with emotion.

And the rock giant that was guarding him as he rose up together, his body crackled off pieces of rubble and rock, and for a moment, his entire appearance looked miserable.

A Stage 5 beginner Earth Crusher was nearly beaten out of the field on his first appearance, and the attacking power of that hunting god, Hall, was evident.

If Grim didn't still have a bit of inventory in hand, I'm afraid it would have to end up in a grim end just that moment!

Grim was also struck with a fury, and muffled the Ring of Corruption and threw it.

It was a ranged, highly poisonous sorcery that the opponent couldn't dodge with high evasion.

That Hall was almost instantly infested with a greenish color, and even the glow of divine power coming out of the penetrating body became somewhat dimmed. A divine body was immune to ordinary toxins, so if the Ring of Decay didn't have a poisonous rule attached to it, don't try to bring a single bit of toxin damage to a deity.

And now, having lost his divine shield, even Hall could only fight hard against such a level of poisonous rules.

But whirling around, he threw a 'Higher Recovery Technique' on himself, cleansing many of the toxins from the deity's body with his divine Power Flush. Only then did the green body retransmit a dazzling divine glow, only some of the dark green dark spots still remained on it.

Apparently, the toxic rules had not been completely cleaned up!

At their level, normal low-tier sorcery had lost its threatening effect on the enemy. In order to truly combat the enemy, one had to find a way to cast super-tier sorcery.

And super-tier sorcery was not instantly available, and usually had extremely harsh conditions for casting it.

This was why the lethal means attached to the Higher Tier Sorcery and artifacts were so precious, and worth the huge amount of resources they invested to create them.

After all, in a divine battle, releasing one more higher-order sorcery than the enemy was often one step closer to victory. And lacking the means to counterbalance or attack the enemy meant the distance between life and death for the great sorcerers.

Grim was only a 5th rank beginner Grand Sorcerer, yet he had a plurality of super-order attacks in his hands. That was the most fundamental reason why he was able to maintain his Crimson Grand Sorcerer name!

The battle was still going on fiercely.

Having fought up to this moment, both sides had a determination that could not be easily given up.

Hunting God Hall's divine shield had been knocked out, and the general-purpose divine techniques such as divine Shockwave, Energy Blast, and Higher Restoration had been exhausted. He was now completely relying on his terrifying hunting skills and powerful basic attributes from before his sealing to fight, yet he was still bringing a mountain of death pressure to Grim.

As the God of Hunting, even if he didn't have a priesthood in terms of the Death Realm, he would have no problem harvesting a soul or two. Therefore, witches who were killed by the deity itself were usually very difficult to revive or reincarnate with the help of sorcery items.

This was the main reason why great sorcerers were keen on rounding up deity bilocations, but shunned the deity itself!

And if Grim wasn't particularly confident in his own strength, he wouldn't dare to provoke these deities.

At this time, since both sides were determined to kill each other, the fights became more and more fierce and fierce, and the intensity of the fights increased.

Although the God of Hunting Hall had fallen 5 ranks, the fact that he was fighting in his own body meant that the value of his Godhead in his body was definitely above 10 points. It was even possible to reach an astonishing 19 points.

If it could be taken down intact, it would be worth it for Grim to give up even if he gave up everything else!

As for the war later on, with a tier like Grim's, he would mostly be cannon fodder if he went. It would be better to fight more on such a marginal battlefield and get enough of their 'pay' in advance.

After all, after leaving the Felling Beast Battlefield, it would be a fool's errand to have this kind of opportunity to obtain the origin of God.

Perhaps sharing the same thoughts as Grim, the other two Grand Sorcerers, Rossilini and Antuso, also fought to the death.

And the first to get a breakthrough was naturally the weaker opponent, Antuso!

Stalking the two orc prayer mergers with a large swarm of giant devouring beetles, Antuso transformed into a spectral magic wolf that loomed on their sides and launched a swift and fierce attack.

In just fifteen minutes, he managed to kill one of the orc prayer mergers, and bagged the other's soul and a small amount of divine power crystals. The remaining Beastmaster saw the situation was not good, and struggled to break out, but fell under the crazy gnawing of the Giant Devouring Beetles.

Although these Giant Devouring Beetles were of a low rank, they had obviously been specially modulated by Antuso, and possessed strange magic resistance and terrifying armor breaking characteristics. Faced with their raging, even a level 5 Orc Prayer Merger would be overwhelmed by hatred and die on the spot.

And it also contributed a rank 5 soul and a small amount of divine power crystals to Antuso.

After collecting the two Orcs, Antuso turned his muzzle and headed straight for the terrifying Ogre God's Mylo Split.

Truth be told, a guy like Myro Bifurcation was typical of what all great sorcerers tried their best to avoid!

Possessing a powerful and unparalleled physical attack, a huge physique, amazing strength, and a perverted defense... If it wasn't for the low agility and clumsy movements, no one would dare to touch such a deity bilocation.

The Myro billet's attack was rather monotonous, but it was incredibly powerful!

It kept on powering itself with Bloodlust and Berserk, and its entire fat and bloated body swelled and grew several more times, glowing with a dazzling blood light, wielding a thick wooden staff to chase after Rosilini.

Knock knock knock....

Its body was as strong as a mountain of flesh, its short, thick fleshy legs stomping on the void, shaking out a ripple of emptiness. And the wooden staff it held aloft was drenched in berserk giant power whining, chucking Rosilini around like a gopher.

Don't look at the fact that Rosilini had wrapped himself inside a thick and sturdy layer of star armor, he wasn't afraid of any sharp weapon at all. But facing the wooden staff in the hands of the Mylo billet, which was enough to open the mountain and split the earth, he could only retreat.

Once hit by its hugging head, the star armor might be able to carry it, but the Rossilini hiding inside would definitely be shaken to a pulp.

After all, the constitution of a 5th rank Grand Sorcerer wasn't even too high!

In such a head-on confrontation, the human sorcerer was going to be comprehensively crushed by the deities who were born with strong bodies.

Rosilini was spewing out beautiful azure starlight behind him, and his 3-meter tall body was nimbly flying and shifting in the void. As he fled, he condensed the power of starlight and repeatedly brushed against the berserk ogre that was chasing him.

The blue power of starlight collided with the fluorescent blood energy on the body of the Ogre God's Mylo body, exploding into countless bright stars that chased each other and annihilated.

The Mylo body, which was running wildly, threw one or two oversized fireballs from time to time, blowing Rossini to the ground and eroding a thick layer of the astral material on its surface.

The next step was for Rossini to use the power of starlight to replenish his armor with star material, while the berserk ogre put a bloodlust on himself, and the blood gas that had just receded somewhat soared up again.

Man fights God, beast fights beast!

On the outskirts of several small battlefields, summoned divine creatures fought two by two.

Seriously, they weren't even complete life forms anymore, but rather advanced puppets that were manipulated and left to their own devices!

The Riftwind Violet Eagle, the Digging Sand Worm, and the Raging Giant Ape were all divine creatures, and after their original flesh and blood bodies were tainted with a hint of divinity, they also possessed some of the characteristics of immortal bodies. They might not be powerful on their own, but that hint of divinity in their bodies gave them the terrifying power to transcend the mundane and become gods on earth.

Faced with creatures of lower ranks, they might be considered irresistible and powerful divine favorites. But against the super-ranked witch beasts crafted by the great sorcerers, they were nothing more than a bunch of beasts that possessed a trace of divinity!

The first one to die on the battlefield was the Berserk Giant Ape, and its opponent was a Star Construct released by Rosilini.

Bathed in starlight, this star construct possessed the ability to recover endlessly. As long as the Berserk Ape's power could not break through its defense limit, this star construct was indestructible.

The Berserk Ape and the Astral Body tangled and wrestled like two beasts.

Amidst the roars and power ripples that shook the void, blood, fur, and broken bones mixed in with the light blue metal limbs drifted in all directions. But before they could fly out of the battlefield, they were caught up in a larger and more violent ripple of power, strangled into unrecognizable shreds.

And not long after the death of those two orc prayer mergers, this 5th stage primary Berserk Giant Ape followed in their footsteps, becoming the first divine creature to die on the battlefield.

In order to finish off the Berserk Giant Ape, this star construct of Rossilini's was also 'wounded by a thousand enemies', and its entire body appeared to be in tatters. Even the chest was ripped open with several huge openings, revealing the Starlight Witch Formation that was running wildly inside.

Its legs and arms were also no longer intact, and horrific marks from biting and scratching could be seen everywhere.

However, bathed in starlight, all the edges of the wounds had a faint starlight shining on them.

All this Star Construct needed to recover was just time!
