Just when Ace thought that he was destined to die here, a golden light suddenly appeared on his body, blocking the mantis directly from the outside.

The praying mantis immediately bit the "Holy Light Shield", and two seconds later, the Holy Light Shield shattered. However, Ace also took advantage of this opportunity to break free from the attack range of the Wind Mantis, and escaped a distance with "extreme speed".

The Wind Mantis didn't pay any attention, and was affected by the magic of other magicians, and fell directly to the ground. He was quickly killed on the spot by a sharp-eyed mage.

Ace was a little scared and nodded to Calero, who was not far away, to show his gratitude.

Calero nodded in response. At this time, the gap between the two seems to have narrowed a lot.

In this unexpected and dangerous situation, Ace becomes more cautious in his search for the target of the "Dark Cage", sparing no details.

It stands to reason that Ace should have discovered the Wind Mantis with his extremely sensitive perception ability a long time ago. However, due to the fact that he spent too much energy searching for a target in the battle, he ignored the strange pace of this level 8 monster in the chaos and was almost killed.

Before you know it, the battle has been going on for more than half an hour.

More than half of the monsters were killed or wounded, and the army camp also suffered heavy losses. Many Warcrafts that are capable of launching ranged attacks, taking advantage of the cover of the large Warcraft in front, constantly launch ranged attacks from behind. Some spray venom, some spray corrosive spider silk, and some water-based monsters can even summon waterspouts to attack armies. The scene was in chaos for a time, and many Imperial soldiers were injured and killed.

The ancient giant Titan is wrestling with Ayr. At this time, seeing that the situation was not right, it immediately roared angrily, wanting to use its bounce power to escape directly.

Al has been through countless battles. With a wealth of combat experience, you can see at a glance the plans of the ancient giant titans.

A spell sounded in her mouth, and then a red curtain of fire blocked the front of the barracks.

Ace heard in the classroom of the experimental department of the academy that this is a magical "flame curtain" at the level of the instructor of the experimental department, which can withstand huge impacts. In addition, a large amount of flame is generated during the collision, which can cause accidental injury.

With a loud bang, the giant fist of this ancient giant titan suddenly hit the red transparent curtain, causing ripples. The flames from the impact had been surrounding the giant titan, but had not harmed it in the slightest.

Ace's ears were pointed, and he heard a faint "click" all of a sudden. He looked up and saw a small crack in the spot where his fist had hit.

But many people are not as sharp as Ace, so they don't notice the break.

As a spellcaster, how could Al not notice that inconspicuous crack? She shouted to the mages behind her, "All fire magicians, pour your magic into the fire curtain and be sure to stop this crazy catastrophic demonic beast!" ”

At her command, all the flame mages took a step forward, and then the wands in their hands were pointed at the huge flame curtain in front of them.

For a moment, the red magic light illuminated the entire battlefield, reflecting everything red.

However, the flame curtain became thicker and darker, and the cracks that had been cracked were quickly hidden under the repair of the fire magic.

The ancient giant Titan was kept out of the curtains. He was furious and kept beating his chest with his hands.

The soldiers in the barracks finally smiled. It seems that the beast tide has finally stopped.

After nearly an hour of hard fighting, they were also a little exhausted, and most of their mana was exhausted. If they continue to drag on like this, it is estimated that everyone will run out of mana, and the results will be self-evident. Everyone will be buried in the belly of the monster.

I only heard Al shouting to the Legion, "Except for the fire magician, everyone else should meditate and recover their magic as soon as possible!" ”

People thought the crisis was over, but listening to Ayr's tone, it seems that the battle is not over yet?

Until the battle is truly over, Al will not let up. This is the experience she has learned from years of fighting. Ace couldn't agree more.

Ace quickly sat down and quickly entered a meditative state. He quickly calmed down and began to meditate. The sun and moon in the sky, as well as the bright stars, and the sea all help him regain his magic. Feeling the cool and comfortable dark magic flowing through him, Ace only felt that his exhaustion had been swept away and his mental state had returned to its peak.

At this time, Ace was in a meditative state. Don't dare to act rashly. After meditating, he quickly stood up and looked at the demonic beast outside the flame curtain.

Seeing that he had finished meditating in less than a minute, Al couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure the magic in your body has been restored?" ”

Ace nodded. "I'm sure!"

A flash of surprise flashed in El's eyes, and he turned his head to continue staring at the ferocious ancient giant titan.

"Do you think that's going to stop me? Stupidity! The roar of the ancient giant titan rang out, and then it retreated more than 200 meters. After that, it quickly sprints. In front of the curtain of flames, it jumped. The whole body was like a mountain, and it hit the fiery red light curtain hard. Ace could clearly see a golden glow on the surface of the ancient giant titan.

"Click"!

A clear voice sounded, and the originally heavy fire curtain suddenly hid a lot. A very noticeable crack appeared in the place where it was hit.

"Hurry up, Flame Mage, continue to infuse the flame energy!" Ayr's deep voice resounded through the camp.

Those flame mages didn't have time to rest, so they could only continue to work hard to keep the flame curtain strong.

However, the Giant Titan in a state of madness grows stronger and lighter each time, and the color of the flame curtain becomes lighter and lighter. The crack cannot be repaired in time and looks like it will collapse completely.

"Damn! Looks like I'm going to have to fight you to the end today! Al shouted angrily.

Then, her whole body was completely surrounded by flames, and strangely shaped runes began to appear around her, swirling around her faster and faster.

Ayr's voice grew louder and louder. In the end, the whole world is filled with her ancient and mysterious magic.

The originally dark sky suddenly appeared with a dark red light. Dark clouds converge at high speed from all directions, completely covering the entire night sky!

A fire mage couldn't help but whisper, "This, this is a flame meteor!" His voice began to tremble.

Ace was shocked when he heard the word "Flame Meteor". Because it is a fire forbidden magic, because it requires a lot of mana, generally no one will use this forbidden magic in actual combat.

But now, in order to deal with this catastrophic level of demonic beast, Air is also forced into a desperate situation, preparing to release a meteor to deal with it.

However, the dark clouds that gathered in the sky that day were getting thicker. In the center of the dark clouds, the crimson color is very intense, and a vortex begins to gradually form.

As time passed, the vortex grew larger and larger, and the magic on the mages who constantly repaired the fire curtain diminished.

Each attack of the Ancient Giant Titan violently vibrates the flame curtain and leaves a huge crack, and the damage-resistant flames are completely ineffective against it.

At this point, the mage repaired the curtain much faster than the giant titan could destroy it. Seeing that the crack was getting bigger and bigger, the high-level Warcraft next to the Giant Titan were even more excited and roaring. They seem to be itching to eat.

At this point, Al was so engrossed in the "Flame Meteor" that she couldn't distract herself from repairing the Flame Curtain that was about to collapse.

Looking up at the sky covered with red clouds, dense lightning appeared in the whirlpool. Illuminates thick clouds, but does not fully penetrate them.

As the lightning bolts grew more frequent, so did the speed of the giant vortex.

Finally, someone shouted: "Look"

One by one, the other soldiers looked up at the sky, except for the fire mage, but saw a flash of fire in the center of the whirlpool.

The fire gradually brightens and the range expands. Soon, a huge flaming meteor appeared in the clouds and fell violently to the ground.

At first, the fire was still red, but when it was only two or three thousand meters above the ground, the whole meteorite turned a dazzling white. In the end, the light was too strong, forcing everyone to close their eyes. Otherwise, they may go blind.

As frictional combustion progressed, small meteors with a diameter of more than 40 meters also shrank rapidly, and the final diameter was only about 20 meters.

Al finally finished casting, but she didn't have time to fix it. She shouted to the magicians beside her, "Water curtains, earth walls, wind barriers, light barriers!" Use it all together! ”

At this moment, a huge meteorite fell from the sky and let out a deafening scream. After coming into contact with the extremely high temperature of the stone's surface, the air around the meteorite rapidly expands and explodes, making a cracking sound. The air currents around the meteorite rubbed against each other, and the harsh sound was unbearable.

But even so, Ayr's order reached everyone's ears clearly.

Almost at the same time, a myriad of different colored barriers appeared in front of the barracks, including a water curtain condensed by the water element, an earth wall composed of earth elements, a wind elemental barrier, and a white barrier!

These isolated energies are constantly superimposed, creating many protective barriers in front of the barracks.

With a loud bang, a huge meteorite hit the center of the herd. Twenty or thirty high-level demonic beasts were burned to ashes by the high temperature carried by the meteorite almost instantly. The huge shockwave generated by the impact dispersed the poor high-level demonic beast into the air.

The high-temperature flames carried by the meteorite also exploded at the moment of impact, burning 30 or 40 high-level magical beasts.

At the same time, the final blow of this ancient giant titan hits the flame curtain, which is completely broken, but the meteorite has already fallen.

"Smack, smack, bang, bang, smack"

Thousands of protective barriers in front of the barracks were destroyed one by one by the shock wave. The energy of the shock wave is very strong, and when it hits the shock wave, the obstacle in front of the barracks is hidden.

In just one second, the condensed shock wave broke through the barrier.

It is not until the last few meters that the momentum of the shock wave is finally resisted and significantly weakened.

By the time the last protective barrier broke, the shock wave had already dissipated G's energy.

But even so, those sturdy windbreakers were still scattered in an instant. Al and the other two archmages standing in front tried to prop up the curtain, but they were still shivering from the aftershocks. Then, the Magister, Warlord, and Paladin were also blown up ten meters away, and the high-ranking army soldiers were repulsed.

By the time the shockwave reached Ace, it was already small, only pushing him back five or six steps.

Obviously, the earthen wall ensured the safety of the last barracks and the wounded.

Nevertheless, dozens of military tents in the barracks collapsed under the destruction of the shock wave.

Fortunately, no one died. However, Al and the other two archmages were seriously injured. They used their bodies to resist the shock wave that broke through the barrier for the first time, and naturally received the greatest impact. At this time, the three of them were supported by several Holy Light Mages and were being treated.

In fact, the injuries of the Ancient Giant Titans were the most terrifying. Its steely body was still wounded by the shockwave, and blood continued to drip down, staining the battlefield red.

The Giant Titan's most serious injury was one of his eyes. At this moment, a sharp rock stuck above the eyeball of his right eye. Obviously, this eye is destined to lose its light.

"Roar!"

The ancient giant titan roared in rage, allowing his wounds to continue to bleed. It turned around and aimed at the army camp, which was not protected at the time.

Ace couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's all over. I didn't expect this ancient giant titan's body to be so strong that even the shockwave of a meteorite couldn't kill it. ”。

Of course, Ayr's original intention was to directly kill this ancient giant titan with a flame meteor. However, this "Fire Meteor" was originally a forbidden skill in fire magic. It is very surprising to use it successfully. It is impossible to have complete control over the trajectory of a meteorite.

Seeing the angry Ancient Giant Titan come to the front of the camp, the seriously injured Al stood up in despair, and the almost broken cane in his hand emitted a brilliant red fire, flying towards the Ancient Giant Titan.

"Get out!" El cried hysterically.

A huge fireball instantly hit the chest of the ancient giant titan!

"Woohoo"!

The giant titan was hit by a huge fireball and flew out. Eventually, it fell into a clearing 300 meters away, sending smoke and dust up to it.

When the huge fireball flew out, Al also fainted and fell to the ground, completely unconscious. The Light mages around them quickly lifted her up.

The ancient giant titan flew up after being hit and fell to the ground, apparently seriously injured.

At this point, it's not as reckless as it was just now. There were blood stains all over the body.

No one in the army dared to move forward and go on the offensive. After all, the remaining power of the Giant Titan remains. No one dared to take this catastrophic level monster lightly, even though it was seriously injured.

The Titan saw that the high-level demonic beasts he brought were almost dead at this time, so he naturally had no intention of fighting again. Eventually, it struggled to its feet and led the herd back in the chaos, soon hiding in the darkness.

Ace couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the herd had finally retreated. He felt exhausted and his legs were weak.

Ace looked at the huge meteorite a few hundred meters away from him and felt the hot breath he exhaled burning. His heart was filled with shock.

"This is, is this the true power of the Great Mage? It's horrible! ”

This is the most direct feeling in Ace's heart.

Ace heard from the academy's mentor that the Great Mage has the ability to destroy heaven and earth, and can destroy a city with a single magic.

At the time, Ace didn't believe it because he thought it was an exaggeration by the teacher. Who can destroy a big city with magic? That's impossible!

But today, when he saw the power of Ayr, he was completely convinced.

Imagine if this meteorite hit any of the cities of Mandala, it would surely destroy the city in an instant. The shock wave from the impact is really scary!

The army camp was only a few hundred meters from the impact of the meteor. The barracks barely survived, and this was due to the fact that all the mages used their barrier magic almost simultaneously to resist the power of the shockwave.

Otherwise, the Legion's camp will disappear in an instant.

No wonder some say that five great magicians can destroy an empire. It seems that this is not nonsense!

Today, Ace has been shocked and numb. Not only did he see the legendary catastrophic beast and witness its terrifying combat power, but he also saw the true power of the Great Mage, which benefited him a lot.

As Ace stared at the red meteorite that was still burning in a daze, a helpless voice came from behind him.

"I was lucky enough to see the horrors of the Great Magician, which made me realize how insignificant I was. At one time, I thought I was the pride of my family and the backbone of the future of the empire. But now it seems that my idea was too naïve! Compared to these great magicians, our strength is not worth mentioning! ”

Ace didn't look back. He knew Calero was talking to him.

"You're not the only one who has this kind of thoughts and feelings. At least I have too! Ace stared at the huge meteorite in the distance, feeling the heat wave coming from there. He had a great desire and a great loss.

The desire is the longing for the terrible power of the Great Magician;

Loss is the loss of being small in the present.

After a moment of silence, Calero said, "Ace, how about we make a bet?" ”

This sentence intrigued Ace a little. He turned his head and looked at Calero suspiciously: "Bet on what?" ”

Calero smiled sincerely and said, "Bet on which of us will reach the level of the Great Magician first." What do you think? Do you dare to bet? ”

Ace smiled maniacally: "Why don't you dare?" However, since this is a bet, there should always be a bet. What is the stake? ”

Calero looked down for a moment and said, "If someone loses, he will have to take off his clothes and dance at the other party's wedding." What do you think? ”

"Oh? Are you confident in yourself? Do you think you can reach the level of a great magician before you get married? Ace joked.

Calero looked at Ace and said defiantly, "What? Are you scared? Are you so unconfident? ”

Ace smiled and said, "I'm afraid of a hammer!" What's the big deal? Bet on it! ”

The two of them said they held their right hands together and fulfilled their promise to gamble!

The two looked at the huge meteorite that was still burning, and at the same time chose to be silent.

The red glow in the sky gradually dissipated, but the dark clouds still gathered. Soon, as lightning and thunder sounded in the clouds, a heavy rain came.

Dense raindrops hit the blazing meteorite, and the rain instantly turned into steaming white steam.

After a long period of heavy rain, the blazing meteor slowly cooled, and the originally burning red light inside gradually weakened, and finally turned black.

"Let's go. It's time to go back to the barracks. Our bets are valid from tomorrow! Calero said, turning and walking towards the barracks.

As Ace watched the red-hot meteorite gradually cool, his excitement could not be quelled.

Although the meteor cooled down, Ace's blazing heart was getting hotter and hotter.

Ace withdrew his eyes and walked towards the Emperor's camp.

Although military materiel was saved through thousands of barriers, the damage to the barracks was still very serious.

At this time, many soldiers consciously began to repair the dilapidated barracks. Now Al is badly wounded and unconscious, and there are signs that there is no leader in the camp.

While the other two archmages were still awake, they were both badly injured and unable to command the normal functioning of the barracks in order to withstand the shockwave. Therefore, everything can only rely on the consciousness of many soldiers.

After the battle, many soldiers became calmer and calmer, and their impetuous mentality gradually hidden. The current state of affairs is what a real war should be.

Ace sighed, ready to help repair the camp.

But he saw Kara standing not far away, looking into the distance, looking a little serious.

Ace followed her line of sight, but saw hundreds of figures in the sky behind the huge snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Ace could see that some of them were armed with wands, and some were armed with broadswords. Behind them, there is the magic of "flying".

Behind them are two massive magical barriers that isolate the core war zone. The barrier glows with dazzling light that illuminates them in the darkness. From here, you feel like a god from heaven.

Soon after, many people in the barracks discovered these people. They stopped working and looked up into the distance.

Ace knew that the first imperial heroes to enter the core area had finally returned.

When the first heroes returned, Ace knew that the battle in the core was over. For some reason, the demons seem to have received some orders, and one by one they return to the Abyss Gate to see the demons retreat one by one, and the leaders of the Great Mage, Warlord, and Imperial Paladins decide to return to the barracks to rest for a while, replenish their strength, and then enter the war zone to continue the battle.

And, in order to prevent the demon from returning, there are still 20 heroes in the core area who are more powerful than the Magister guarding them. Once the barrier changes, it will rely on the Holy Light magic "Little Sun" as a signal.

When the returning heroes saw the damage to the barracks, they were also very surprised. After questioning, they learned about what had just happened. They were also amazed by the appearance of the ancient giant Titans.

Ace previously learned that the first batch of heroes to enter the core area should have 254 people, including seven archmages.

But now, only 142 people have returned alive, plus the 20 who remained in the heart of the mountain and the 15 who were wounded earlier in the barracks, only 178 people have survived.

That is, in the last two months, the Empire has lost 76 generals and soldiers, all of whom have surpassed Magisters in strength, one of whom is the Grand Magi. This time the empire suffered extremely serious losses.
