Chapter 255: Tower of the Giant Tree
Richard left the huge concave made of glass, and at that moment, the ground shook beneath his feet.
A great noise followed that shook the whole land, and the terrible roar was like a tidal wave, like thunder passing through the clouds.
Standing in the palm of the Enchanted Spirit Lord's palm, he slowly floated into the sky, and with the help of his height, he looked out of the magic tower
Richard saw a vast mountain range with no end in sight, rising little by little from under the soil of the wasteland.
Soon, a huge black shadow of a mountain peak, like a mountain peak, stood majestically in the sunlight.
The flesh and blood peaks exuded a strong fishy stench, and the smell swept in like surging waves, slapping against the protective magic barrier around the magic tower like a substance, and layers of waves rolled up on the transparent walls, like a giant god swallowing clouds and spitting mist.
It didn't take long for this huge and towering "wall" to enclose the magic tower that stood on the ground. Since the end of the spring hunt, the magic tower has remained in its original position, and has no plans to take off again.
The reason is simple: if you keep flying during the Civil War, you are likely to fall due to damage to the power source: perhaps because of internal strife and betrayal within the school, or perhaps because of inadvertent inadvertent inadverence
Either way, the result is the same: no one wants to see a devastating blow to the tower before the war is decided.
With the eyes of wizards, as long as you pass through the clouds, you can also see more than a dozen huge heads, all of them with teeth and claws, this monster mountain range rising in front of everyone's eyes is the legion demon manipulated by the legendary wizard Howard Nurlen, the Lord of the Worms.
Several of their heads were either cut off or turned into charcoal; However, after only a week, most of them had recovered, and only the last skull had not grown out of the huge, dry section of the neck.
Such an astonishing movement naturally could not hide from the eyes and ears of the wizards on the Black Tower.
Richard looked down, and the various floors of the Magic Tower were crowded with people, countless people lying on the guardrails outside, or swimming around the outer magic circle with the help of flying magic, letting out exclamations and screams of fear. Especially in the neighborhood where low-level wizards gather, chaos is inevitable, and there are even people who plan to take advantage of the chaos to leave.
With the outbreak of the civil war, the solemn atmosphere in the magic tower became more and more intense, and it was like a storm for a while. For those who are humble and incapable of participating in war, they can only hide in their homes all day in fear; And the appearance of a powerful foreign enemy, a monster like a mountain, became the last straw that crushed their will
Even the elite apprentices at the top level had a melancholy look on their faces, full of nervousness and uneasiness.
It's not like they haven't hunted huge demons. Size wasn't the only criterion for determining a demon's level and abilities
However, the clan class is not the same. The astonishing sense of oppression from their bodies made it impossible to measure the strength of their magical power, and they could understand by their eyes that this was not an opponent they could handle.
Wizards below the Master rank, even if they try their best to use the most powerful magic, can still do no light damage. For the Lord of the Worms, as long as it is not a serious injury caused by a severed limb and a severed head, even if some of the limbs are destroyed, he can easily recover in battle.
Although Howard once used it to single out a young cardinal, he ended up being beaten by Joan Borgia using a fiery and sharp ancient sword technique because of his bloated size and slow movements, and he had no ability to fight back, but that was because the person he had to deal with was legendary.
Going to the center of the battlefield and being sent to attack the headquarters of a certain force is actually what legion-level demons are best at. Otherwise, the Demon Emperor would not have allowed the mines in the heart of the empire to become its lair, and the people of Zarwan would see the demon itself as the last line of defense for the empire.
In other words, a weapon of mass killing.
If you want to avoid the loss of numbers caused by the Legion Demons, you must mobilize a group of wizards who have reached the highest rank and above, use combined spells to bombard, or simply have a legendary wizard take action.
The fact that the Legends of the Rank Extraordinary sit still on their own turf is in itself a great threat; But when he chooses to make a move, the situation immediately becomes unpredictable, thus exposing gaps in the defense; And the arrival of that moment is the best opportunity for the enemy who wants to invade the magic tower.
This is an upright conspiracy.
While Richard was speculating about his opponent's plans and intentions, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound behind him.
The black-robed wizard turned his head in some surprise. He found that the roof of the huge greenhouse behind him had been opened; Bathed in the bright sun, countless vines poured out from the inside of the Iraqi Tra School station.
The vibrant emerald green trend is like an unstoppable line of defense, and soon transforms the surrounding area into a rich green world.
The crazy green continues to expand, and it never stops for a moment; It swallowed every road, every square, and even every house on the top floor, and everywhere the eye could see, the once familiar living facilities and buildings were greatly transformed, filled with turquoise foliage.
The crazy green even spread outward, down the inner staircase of the elevator in the center, and gradually began to wrap around the entire magic tower.
The tree's greatest strength lies not in its tall size, but in its deep beneath the earth, with a capacity several times that of the plants above, and its tangled roots are several times larger than those of the plants above, allowing them to hold firmly to the ground and not be blown down in a storm.
If a huge worm suddenly emerges from the ground, it symbolizes the storm that the magic tower is about to face; Then, the "green" that spreads out from within the Illektra school will become the solid root system that supports the magic tower.
A few minutes later, the head of a hideous worm slammed into the outer wall. Transparent ripples with a diameter of more than 100 meters opened, and the people on the magic tower swayed in the face of this astonishing impact, like a ship that was still stubbornly sailing on the sea during a storm, and the situation was precarious.
Large swaths of the ground caved in, revealing intricate pipes underneath, and for a moment the streets were filled with steam, and people took refuge in their homes or shelters.
However, the Worm Lord's offensive did not have the desired effect, and the seemingly astonishing shaking soon slowly stopped.
On the one hand, there is the effect of overlapping protective magic; On the other hand, the crooked walls, the heavy pillars, and the collapsed roads were all supported by layers of coiled thick vines.
If anyone could stand on this wasteland and watch, he would find that the green plant that spread from the top of the tower had dug deep into the earth, and the plains for a hundred miles were full of coiled roots that writhed like giant snakes wildly.
Soon, the entire tower was encased, and the tower resembled a huge "tree man" that had been abandoned for more than a thousand years, completely covered by wild plants: no less than the Lord of Worms in terms of size alone.
Seeing this situation, Richard couldn't help but laugh.
"These two are really anxious."
But he understood.
Because it's a good thing for everyone to decide the winner as soon as possible.
