Age of Adepts

Chapter 706: Struggling with Heaven

The battle between the two ranks is continuing.

And in the floating giant ship beneath the black smoke, everyone is already busy.

A metal compartment was penetrated and all unnecessary ancillary facilities were removed. The interior of the cabin, moreover, is engraved with all kinds of Xuan Au Fu, and from time to time shines a radiant magical light as powerful magical energy flows into it.

A large metal piping is staggered vertically and horizontally, directing a little bit of the magic energy extracted from the space furnace to every part of the huge hull.

Due to the coarseness of the temporary modifications, these energy pipelines from time to time leak incredible amounts of magical energy into contact. And every time this happens, it's the moment when the goblin engineers scream, "Command maintenance robots rush up to weld maintenance."

Despite more than a dozen geotechnical engineers, more than thirty geotechnical technicians and hundreds of engineering robots working in a race for seconds, the magic energy spilled through the energy pipeline has reached an alarming level.

So, in some parts of the ship's interior, the intense magical energy of the past formed a terrible death zone. Once approached, ordinary sperm can be killed directly.

And this area can only be accessed by wizards with very high demonic resistance and defensive witchcraft!

At this time, the floating giant ship has lost its ability to fly again. All ‘useless', ‘ineffective’ spacecraft installations have been dismantled and converted into metal pipelines that deliver magical energy. And the Floating Giant Ship has also shifted from a sorcerer's flying seat to a temporary sorcerer's tower.

What is the Wizard Tower?

It's just a special kind of witchcraft facility to help witches fight and live!

The most important thing to build a Wizard Tower is to build a source of magic.

And most ordinary wizard towers draw energy from the outside world through elemental altars.

The floating giant ship has nothing else, but the space furnace installed in its core can be transformed into a magic source of a wizard tower with the simplest modifications, and is stronger and more violent.

So it was this fundamental hull remodeling that floating giant ships have been trying to do for the long time they have spent on overseas islands. Once the dragon cave had fallen to the ground, it was no longer possible to fly on its own.

But thanks to the enormous energy support and the various sorts of witch arrays that fill the ship, the entire floating giant ship was transformed into a temporary witch tower.

Without a sturdy tower of excellent material as a carrier, the original thick metal shell of the giant ship is used; without the symbolic lines throughout the tower as an energy transmission pipeline, the crude metal pipeline is used; without the planned strange tower spirit, Grimm does not hesitate to come forward to become a spirit, acting as this central control witchcraft crystal...

Together with the defensive witch arrays and attack witch arrays depicted throughout the ship, a system of barely functioning witch towers was built.

Under the careful and meticulous command of Grimm, the resources and human and material resources of the entire floating giant ship were fully and rationally utilized to become the strongest support of the black smoke wuss above!

But as the battle between Black Smoke Usa and the 4th Genie Sword Saint intensifies, this simple system of witch towers is also experiencing an increasingly terrible energy backlash.

Each collision of powerful forces in two four-stage positions triggers a local pipeline energy reflux. These ordinary metals are clearly unable to withstand such horrific enchantments and shocks of magical energy, and a great deal of magical spills are beginning to emerge.

Inside the Floating Giant Ship, energy bursts burst into the ears, and nearly half of the sperm has been killed directly by the harsh ‘environment' inside the ship. The rest of the goblin engineers and technicians can barely survive in certain areas unless they hide inside the magic puppet.

Grimm, while meticulously manipulating the "Witch Tower" energy system to give the black smoke the maximum power support, was also distracted to manipulate an engineering robot, tired of running welds blocking the increasing energy leakage point on the metal pipeline.

For metal pipes that have been distorted and ruptured and have lost their repair value, only one additional temporary pipe can be erected to replace the damaged site.

And as fighting progresses, there are more and more such temporary patches and temporary pipelines, and the energy system is becoming less efficient in transferring magical energy. Later, even some of the most heavily leaked areas of the ship were dared not to enter easily by low-ranking wizards.

Even if they enter these areas with their strength, there is a good chance of direct death!

…………

From time to time, the rumbling rumbling outside passes into the dragon cave.

Even the mountain body where the dragon cave is situated can't stop trembling, the crushed rock crumbs fall from the rock wall, and the secret passage is filled with the dusty smell of crumbs.

The magic trap in the secret passage has been swept away.

Weak Alice barely moved into the Dragon Cave with the help of several Destiny Witches.

To be honest, dragons resting in the dormant lobby, without those glittering gold coins and gemstone supports, would be a simple, crude dog kennel comparable to the ogre.

Inside an unusually tall and spacious stone hall filled with shattered stalagmites and black rock walls, strangely no insects, mosses and lichens exist. On the central floor of the lobby are thick stacks of glittering gold coins, as well as a wide variety of magic gems, weapon armor and magic items.

All the witches and men who entered the dragon's nest were shocked by the glorious scene in front of them, almost breathlessly difficult to sustain. As the noble wizard who stood at the height of secular power, each of them undoubtedly had amazing wealth and resources, but in comparison to the scene before them, there was still a huge difference between heaven and earth.

Look at that golden coin as thick as a few meters, enough to bury a grown man inside without seeing a figure...

Look at that huge magic gem buried in a pile of gold, sparkling with magic fluorescence...

Look at that glorious, brilliant magic sword and gorgeous armor, unique in shape and beautiful in style...

While most of these magic weapons or props cannot be equipped in the size of a giant dragon, this does not prevent the giant dragon from harnessing the world's wealth and treasures.

And at the top of this luminous pile of golden coin gemstones, a magic scepter with a strange shape and a radiant glow of colour was inserted obliquely there, and a circle of elements formed by the dramatic atmosphere of magic were clearly visible.

Even with Alice's calm and indulgence, I couldn't help but breathe a little.

Alice is so weak and aging at this moment, except for her long hair all turned into silver silk, even her otherwise glossy face and skin, at this time she also became unusually dry and wrinkled. By all accounts, Alice, who is not yet 100 years old, should have been at the height of her life, but from her appearance, she is clearly already a dying old man near the end of her life.

She stands side by side with Narcotics Endo, and outsiders only think of them as a pair of old sisters, and who knows that they are five generations apart from each other.

By what the wizards have always done, as long as it is not the last time in their lives, their bodies and appearance can be transformed through witchcraft to keep them in their middle-aged years. Only near the end of life, due to the decay of the soul and the decline of witchcraft, will aging become evident.

As for a Destiny Witch like Alice, her body is full of witchcraft, her soul is vibrant, she is clearly at the height of her life, but only the life force in her body is weak, like a little fluttering dark candle fire, which may extinguish at any moment.

It was because of the enormous shortage of vitality that her soul was delayed from getting the moisture it deserved and began to shrink into darkness.

Although there are hundreds of ways and means of extracting life, the wizards are powerless to deal with Alice, a life force that has been devoured by the backlash of fate.

Destiny is always fair!

How much you take from it, it will also take from your life your most precious...

Alice's vitality was drastically reduced for 40 years on her last underground trip in order to divine a mysterious object for the other world. If she doesn't make it this time, she'll only have a month to live!

So suddenly you see a prophetic scepter that can continue to sustain your life, and Alice's emotional turmoil is not something that others can easily experience.

“All of you, back off!” Alice barely stood up in front of the gemstone pile and said faintly, “Tell Grimm to give me two more hours! If I don't come out in two hours... let him escape! ”

Nod with a few Destiny Witches beside you and bow out of the Dragon's Nest Hall. Poisonoundo sighed and withdrew silently.

At the entrance of the hall, Sophia the Violent Witch and Chevy the Ice Woman looked at each other and chose to remain there quietly.

The only new witch left with anxiety and turned away and went to pass on the chief's final password.

Anxiously wandering two laps at the entrance to the lobby, the mountains trembled again and the top of their tunnel walls plunged down countless dust and stone chips.

“No, I can't wait here. You two stay here and don't let anyone interfere with Alice. I'll help you up there!” After a few brief remarks, Poison Nguyen left full of killing gas.

Sophia and Chevy were both brought back to life by the power of destiny after Alice was promoted to the rank of Destiny Witch. So their souls are also firmly tied to Alice.

Alice is dead, they're dead!

Alice was promoted, and the water rose and the boat rose, which greatly benefited her strength!

Thus, at moments when destiny is at stake, they are also forced to float.

“Chevy, do you think Alice could be promoted?” Sophia, the five big three, couldn't help but keep her voice down and ask irritably.

“Opportunity is always opportunity!” Chev responded softly: "The power of destiny only points to the first line of escape from death, but it is still up to one's strength and luck to seize the opportunity to escape from that line of opportunity. So there's nothing we can do for her right now. The only thing I can do is pray for her. I hope she has good luck...”

Then a faint sigh turned around in this empty silent space...
