Chapter 105: The Storm and the Djinn
With Richard's order, the huge cloud of smoke floating behind him condensed and took shape in an instant, turning into the appearance of a giant.
The Smoke Giant puffed out his cheeks and made a blowing motion.
At that moment, the atmosphere shook, and howling winds came out of thin air, blowing from all directions.
The wind of hunting drums blew through every street and alley, and blew through every corner, and the windows of the gatehouses rattled all around, and the roofs of several houses were directly blown off, and the hurricane seemed to uproot all the houses in this block from the ground.
But it was only a slight aftermath of the massive wind currents that had been summoned by magic to "pass by"—turbulence that had converged from all directions, and finally converged in front of the "Legendary Wizard", the center of the raging air currents, where the storm had stopped.
The gathering winds enveloped the outer space within a radius of 100 meters, and the center of the wizard's location was silent, similar to the eye of the storm during a typhoon.
The invisible turbulence formed a transparent wall, and hundreds of walking corpses crashed into it, and the "forwards" of the demons were instantly shattered and turned into a rain of blood, this barrier easily blocked the invasion of the black and crushing corpses.
Soon, the transparent wall spread rapidly, moving in a roundabout way to the sides under the manipulation of the Enchanted Spirit Lord, eventually enveloping hundreds of demons before suddenly shrinking inward. The demons were involuntarily pulled together like a life-like storm, and finally formed a huge outline that formed a ball from the inside out.
The bitter wind had blown all the demons into the sky in one go, and there was no intention of letting them fall to the ground.
The monsters struggled, roared, and were trapped in a transparent and colorless prison in which the air, which should normally be completely infelt, became faster and faster under the effect of the turbulence, and constantly collided in all directions in the sealed environment.
The existence in it will encounter the pain of being fired by ten thousand arrows for the first time; However, this was only the beginning, and then, every inch of their skin felt the pain of being cut back and forth by the chainsaw, and every inch of bone was subjected to the weight of being crushed by the grinder.
Hundreds of demons were quickly smashed and squeezed into a pool of flesh and blood. The spherical space with a diameter of tens of meters has been transformed into a huge mixer.
But this is still not the end, after all, this is a hell built by the storm, even the bones and even the blood that flowed out, bit by bit.
This is the level 7 magic "Storm Prison", which can not only kill and injure a large number of enemies, but even the charge of an entire cavalry team will become meaningless in the face of this magic; At the same time, it can also imprison large targets that ordinary people can't handle.
When it appears on the battlefield, it can change the situation in an instant. As a sphere, it can also be used to defend against attacks: it can easily withstand volleys from groups of archers, or from trebuchets and ballistas. After all, once any object is caught in it, it will be contained in it in an instant, and the air currents sharper than countless rotating blades will be torn to shreds.
The inside of the huge sphere made up of the storm is constantly expanding and compressing, maintaining a stable balance. Compared to some forms of magic that emphasize instantaneous destructive power, the Storm Cage has the advantage of being long-lived, constantly attracting and devouring objects around it, and crushing everything in its path.
If this magic could not be broken, this sphere alone could push a city inhabited by tens of thousands of people;
When the number of items consumed in the "Storm Cage" reaches its limit, it will cause a huge explosion, and no living creature will survive inside, and even the hard metal and stone will be turned into powder. The shock wave will continue to spread outward, and the wind pressure that has accumulated to the extreme will cause an explosion centered on the sphere, destroying objects within a kilometer of the surrounding area......
These are the descriptions of this magic in the "knowledge" of the mind.
"This is the power of the master......"
Richard thought to himself.
Although the Enchanted Spirit Lord belongs to the spell system, like human wizards, it can use magic from other realms, and it does not need to think about the amount of energy expended, so it is more versatile as a spirit than a summoner. The RX-46 who followed him, in addition to legendary magic, mainly mastered natural magic, spells, and spiritism within the master rank, making up for Richard's lack of frontal destruction ability.
Now he is fully capable of sabotaging the attempt of the hanged man and regaining control of the bottom.
…… Unless the other party is here right now.
However, he believed that the old man would not make it to such a point.
Although he had only met once, Richard had already seen that the other party was a very cautious type, and he would only show up when everything was ready.
Richard's gaze was on the pitch-black tower that stood like a crouching giant in the corner of the city, spiraling upwards.
His pupils contracted slightly, and the blessing of the "Eagle Eye Technique" made Richard quickly lock on to his target.
"Those three ......"
One of them is Crowley, whom he meets in the dungeon where the sick are held, a messenger sent by the "hanged man", but on the other hand, he has a lot of connections with the "preacher" and is a dangerous person.
The second was the first time Richard had seen it. However, during this time, he had already read all the information of the wizards who were worth paying attention to on the magic tower, including the high-level leaders of each school, the chief student, and the chief student candidate, so he quickly recognized the other party as an important member of the younger generation of the Grimm School: Duncan David.
"These two people are actually together?"
Richard frowned, wondering what this meant, and quickly turned his gaze back to the ground.
"The blonde hair...... Could it be ......? ”
Willett Edward.
He had a relationship with the witch. said so, but I don't think the other party will remember him at all.
At this moment, the girl was lying on the ground, her eyes closed and motionless, and he could not even tell whether she was in a state of near death or unconscious.
In this way, Miss Edward and Duncan Davy belong to the same school of thought, and should be in competition. And the competition on the magic tower has always been known for its brutality...... Richard quickly remembered the conflict between the two, and the latter was accidentally killed by the former.
But why is Crowley here? Is there any connection between him and the Grimm School?
"Miss Real Name, can you tell who the person who resonates with you is?"
He'd already used "High Magic Detection" to check his surroundings. Apart from these three men, there were no other signs of life.
The dark-haired girl who followed him shook her head.
"I'm sorry, sir. The phenomenon of resonance is gone, and I can't judge. ”
"That's ......"
Richard was not disappointed and quickly made a decision -
A pleasant smile appeared on his face.
"It's okay, just stay all."
As long as these three people are caught together, then no matter what kind of connection there is between them, or the secret of one of them that can resonate with the Spark Furnace, he will hold it in his hands.

A few minutes earlier, the two wizards at the edge of the ladder had seen a huge storm signal approaching from the other side of the street. With a terrifying majesty, accompanied by a roaring sound like a sea of mountains, it collapsed houses and roads in its pass, crushing along the passage to the ladder in one breath, and in the blink of an eye, it "passed" a dozen blocks, sweeping away the demons that were running around like rats.
It's so big and so powerful that it's impossible for them to ignore it.
Duncan Davy and Crowley, though not as capable of prophecy as Richard, instinctively sensed the looming crisis and the malice that seemed to swallow them up completely.
"This magic can't fight ...... head-on"
Crowley looked serious and was about to say something to his companion when he suddenly felt a chill rise up his spine. A cold gaze swept over him—
This is by no means an illusion, but the work of some kind of magic!
The two looked at each other.
"Run!"
They didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately each used the magic of concealing their bodies and disappeared into thin air.
.........
On the other side of the road, Richard soon noticed that both figures had disappeared, apparently realizing that they were his target.
"Did you escape?"
The corners of Richard's lips curled up into a smile.
"It's not that easy, though."
Behind him, the smoke giant, which was already five or six stories tall, was once again rapidly expanding in size! This time, its head almost touched the dome adjacent to the bottom of the second floor.
A few seconds later, a giant rose from the eaves of the rows, its stature as tall as the massive ladder towers in the distance. The survivors, hiding in the houses and underground pipes, looked up and all witnessed the spectacular spectacle, their mouths wide open in shock.
The cyan-skinned giant stretched out his arms, palms outstretched, and legs stretched out in a running pose.
And just near its shoulder, a masked wizard slowly ascended. His robes fluttered slightly in the wind, looking down on the people condescendingly.
Anyone could tell that he was the terrifyingly powerful wizard who unleashed the storm magic that swept the entire underbelly and summoned giants.
"Go ahead!"
The wizard's staff flickered slightly.
So the giant began to stride in the direction of the ladder -
The streets "rumble" and tremble along the way, and hundreds of houses shake like rows of fragile building blocks, threatening to collapse at any moment.
