Chapter 50: Floating Airships
Beings exuding terrifying energy gathered in the audience of the Nightmare Tower's bloody ring.
This is the home chosen by the Ashes Council, and while the home field advantage does not give the Nightmare Tower a substantial advantage, it does indicate the attitude of the Ashes Council, which is the dissatisfaction with the Soul House.
The successive wars waged by the House of Souls against the Wolf's Heart and the Nightmare Tower are civil wars for the Ash Council, and although the Ash Council has done its best to save the lives of wizards, two wizards have still fallen here.
Although Cisse is still alive, the fall of the rank is no different from death in the eyes of the Ash Council, otherwise this bloody death match would not be allowed by the rules.
Whether it is the fall of the official wizard or the mass death of apprentices, it is a weakening of the strength of the Ember Council, and in the confrontation with the Broken Tower, the Ember Council, which is already at a disadvantage, is unwilling to bear too much of this attrition.
The wizard of the Tower of Nightmares is putting the finishing touches on the ring, and the cruelty of the bloody deathmatch can be seen in the changes in the ring.
The bloody ring, which was originally just slightly below the audience, slowly descended under the control of the witch array until it sank several meters into the ground, and since then the ring has become a cage of death.
After the bloody battle begins, there will be a sealing enchantment to seal the top of the ring, which not only prevents the influence of the spectators on the ring, but also prevents the two sides from escaping.
In every battle, there is no defeat, only the battle is killed, and only the one who is alive has a chance to get out of this cage of death, and then ...... Meet the second deathmatch.
Ron was in the waiting zone, and there were fifty-seven people standing together, which was seven fewer than the names Ron had seen on the roster, which meant that seven cowardly lives had fallen before the bloody deathmatch.
Ron's gaze swept over the crowd on his side, and he found that there were only twenty-nine third-order apprentices, seven second-order apprentices, and twenty-one first-order apprentices.
Those new apprentices probably knew the rules of bloody deathmatch, and most of their eyes were full of despair, they knew that they would never survive, and even surviving the first round of deathmatch was a luxury.
For these apprentices who finally grasped the opportunity to advance, but suddenly found that death was in front of them, their fate was so impermanent.
Ron took a few steps forward and stood at the front of the crowd with twenty-nine other third-order apprentices, no one would think that Ron should not stand here, because the results that Ron received in the late stage of the war were enough to win their respect and stand with them.
And the position they are fighting in is not where the glory lies, but the place of danger, and those who stand in front will naturally be the first to enter the ring, and only the bravest will dare to be here.
It was their backs that gave the first-order apprentice behind him the last shred of courage, and he didn't slump on the ground, waiting for death to come.
The sky suddenly darkened, followed by a sudden gust of wind.
Someone looked up, and they saw a huge shadow pass overhead.
It was a huge floating airship, a huge machine from the dwarf kingdom, the proud work of the craftsmen of the dwarf kingdom, a floating airship that combines the art of craftsmen and alchemy, not only more comfortable than the summoned mounts, but also able to carry more weight, the only drawback is that it needs to consume a lot of magic crystals.
This insignificant disadvantage is so insignificant in many cases that the airship has become the most popular means of transport for various powers.
Not only is there one in the House of Souls, but there is also one in the Nightmare Tower, and if this bloody deathmatch takes place somewhere else, Ron will probably have a chance to ride the Nightmare Tower's airship once.
The floating airship demonstrators generally cruised in the air, and they were reluctant to descend, which made the Nightmare Tower that was waiting below even have a hint of commotion, and the shadow of the airship was like a floating beast, licking and eating the crowd below, and the pressure followed like a shadow.
"Soth, if you dare to fly above me, I'll knock it down. ”
With Moriago's roar, a huge alchemy crossbow slowly turned around and aimed at the floating airship cruising in the air.
This is the defense equipment of the Nightmare Tower, and each of its attacks is equivalent to the full force of a first-level wizard.
As if unaware of the crisis below, the airship still hovered in the air, refusing to come down, and even floated towards the crowd defiantly.
A cold flicker flashed in Moriago's eyes.
A high-purity magic crystal on the alchemy giant crossbow suddenly lit up, and then quietly shattered, and a huge crossbow arrow several meters long broke through the air, with a rapid sound of breaking the air, pointing directly at the floating airship in the air.
The crossbow bolt was the thickness of an adult's arm, and it was covered with dark runes, and during the flight, the runes began to light up little by little, until the crossbow began to turn red, like a red-hot soldering iron, and began to shoot red flames, and the crossbow arrow dragged out a long tail of fire and shot towards the floating airship.
The sorcery loaded on the bolt was none other than the Flame Spear, which was a level 1 offensive sorcery.
It will explode the moment it hits the target, maximizing the lethality of the bolt.
With the defense of the floating airship of the Soul Trick House, the crossbow arrows loaded with the Flame Spear were directly hit at this distance, although it would not explode immediately, the forced landing would inevitably happen, and as for whether it could be driven back, it would depend on the skills of the alchemists of the Soul Trick House, and the Nightmare Tower would be very willing to see such an enemy airship placed here forever.
Finally, at the moment when the crossbow bolt approached the floating airship, a cold snort came from the floating airship, and black mist poured out of the floating airship, condensing into a huge black hand in the void, and the five fingers of the palm held the crossbow arrow firmly in the hand.
The fire-fast crossbow bolt didn't even tremble in the black palm, and just stopped less than a meter away from the floating airship, and the burning fire was quickly extinguished under the black mist of the palm.
The crossbow bolt spun in a circle in the palm of his hand, aiming at the alchemy crossbow with shattered magic crystals, as if trying to throw it back.
Moriago sneered, the long-established magic eye staff in his hand slowly turned, the dry magic eye at the top of the staff opened a gap slightly, and a dangerous aura swept out, and a violent and deadly energy impact would gush out from that eye at any time.
At the same time, Elvis's right eye as he looked at the airship quietly turned into a black hollow, and the wizard's book in the center moved without wind, turning page by page, and on the final frozen page, a tumbling dark red appeared, like flames, and like surging lava.
