Standing in the middle of this corridor, looking at the attendants who had fallen victim to the struggle, Verin finally understood the plight faced by Alexandra and the rest of the Ernst family.

As far as she knew, there were only a handful of mages in the history of the Ernst family who became the head of the family - in fact, most of the nobles in Van had a similar arrangement, and a member of the family who had mastered magical power would often have the full support of the family in the field of magical research, in order to prevent a member who had mastered magical power from using special means to interfere in the family's decision-making and continuity.

In order to ensure that such an extreme situation does not happen, the nobles can even apply for supervision and arbitration in the Judicial Council, and Merlin Lehe is also happy to provide full support for such incidents, which they see as a symbol of the mage's refusal to get involved in "worldly power" and the neutrality of the Legal Council.

Of course, when Wei Lin thinks about it now, she just thinks it's all a fart.

While this may be rude, there are signs that this is true.

The souls trapped here can be said to be very rough in the use of power, they can only rely on instinct, and this is the instinct given to them by the "Mother Earth" secret rite, although the secret instrument has been damaged to a certain extent, but this rough and simple confrontation of power is extremely inefficient, in the long wear and tear, the will of the members of the Ernst family will be exhausted sooner or later.

However, to Viline's surprise, they have indeed fought so far.

It was hard for her to imagine how the will of a human soul could endure such a long torment...... Perhaps, the reality is like Alexandra's room 508, where the magic lamps and the lights that belong to human society have become the only reliance on their beliefs.

With the last light blue magic thread buried in the wall, the temporary magic position constructed with nearly sixty magic pages and more than a dozen basic protection rituals was completely formed, and through the buried magic thread, Wei Lin could invoke these pre-set spells in time from a safe distance.

In this case, even if the strong interference with the spirit and magic from before reappeared, she would be able to respond or delay time with a simple magic input.

Viline returned to the middle of the corridor, where the attendants controlled by Alexandra had retreated to the side of the spiral staircase, where they would be the first line of defense in the event of an impact, and at the same time, she saw a number of rats scurrying around, it seemed that these were "several" members of the Ernst family, who did not join the operation in Room 508, but remained in the corridor to defend against potential threats.

She constructed a magical chair and sat down in the doorway of room 508, closing her eyes and slowly recovering her magic.

Little by little, time passed.

In Wei Lin's magical perception, the power that was originally hidden in the walls and ground of the five underground floors began to quietly decline, which meant that a considerable number of the members of the Ernst family who supported the power here had already thrown their power elsewhere at this time, which also symbolized that the defense power here began to weaken.

….

"It's almost time to start."

Wei Lin opened her eyes and muttered to herself.

Almost at the same time, the strange powers that had previously appeared in the spiral stairwell and that could interfere with the caster's mind and mind began to slowly manifest.

Based on Alexandra's previous statement, Verin judged that this should be a sign that the "Mother Earth" secret instrument was starting to take effect, so she breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her hand to quickly arrange her hair, re-tightened the already loose hair rope, and took off her glasses and wiped the already very clean lenses.

With a crisp snap of his fingers, several spiritual and magical protection rituals that had been set up nearby quickly took effect, turning into a barrier to block interference.

The members of the Ernst family, who were responsible for defending the fifth basement floor, also went into action.

After a dull crunch, count

The gate slowly opened, and the rat tide that had previously avoided Vireen and Xiug reappeared, but this time, under the restraint of human will, the rat colony did not make any restlessness or make any noise, they remained silent, formed a queue and began to push forward.

The Mother Earth Ritual began to speed up.

The terrifying distraction began to emerge in all directions, and the protective rituals that Wei Lin had set up in advance fluctuated violently, among which the outermost layer of protective rituals had already been slightly worn out even under the first round of impact, so Wei Lin quickly adjusted the operation methods of several rituals to make them more evenly withstand the pressure on herself, and quickly repaired the damaged parts.

She began to hear noises.

The entire underground floor was wrapped in that small sound, and even if you didn't have eyes, Wei Lin knew that now the entire five underground floors outside might have become a world of rats.

The summoned medium that had been prepared was thrown out by Wei Lin, and the black cat she had summoned countless times appeared in the corridor, rubbed around Wei Lin's legs, and then quickly moved forward with the silent rat swarm, near the entrance to the fifth basement floor.

Due to the destruction of the ritual in the corridor on the fifth basement floor, the rats that served the ritual and the will of the ancient gods could no longer travel through the magic passage in the wall, but had to "go through the main entrance".

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The onslaught against that metal door began.

A thread of magic was pulled by Verin's magic, and the "fortification" spell that had already been set up immediately took effect.

As the name suggests, this is a spell that is used to build special fortifications on the battlefield, and Verin would not have imprinted this type of magic in herself, but now that it is a time of war, the spells issued by the Council already contain some of the magic that is commonly found in the battlefield.

This time, it helped Wei Lin a lot.

With the blessing of the magic of "fortification", the heavy metal door became extremely strong.

There was a dull sound one after another, and it was clearly not a rat rush, but something else...... Finally, after dozens of successive impacts, the magic attached to the metal door completely failed, and at the same time, the door that had been badly deformed broke away from the door frame and smashed into the corridor.

….

A figure whose body had been severely alienated walked in with heavy steps.

Unlike the "waiters" that Wei Lin and the two encountered before, what appeared here was a spellcaster of the Black Sun Society.

Or maybe he used to be a spellcaster.

His mutation had been a long, long time, so his body had swelled severely, his upper body was almost completely torn, his skin was covered with gray-black rat hair, and his face had been detached from the human realm - under the influence of the secret rite, the face of this member of the Black Sun Society had begun to completely change in the direction of the rat, he had grown sharp front teeth, his mouth began to bulge badly, his ears were severely elongated in the mutation, and his pupils had completely turned dark green.

"Roar!"

With the terrifying roar of the member of the association, the black rat tide finally poured into the area they had not set foot in for a long time, and just as they were about to launch the first round of charge, a magic book page silently appeared from the wall with the pull of the magic thread, and then a pale cyan magic pattern covering the floor, ceiling and walls of the corridor appeared, and the stream-level "ice explosion" magic exploded like an alchemy bomb in the densest place of the rat colony. Countless ice debris clung to the rats' bodies and exploded, tearing their bodies apart on the spot, and the impact of this magical explosion caused the rats that had just entered the corridor to fall apart.

Through the vision of the summon, Wei Lin could clearly see that under the ice explosion just now, a large number of wounds had appeared on the body of the member of the association who was responsible for opening the way, but this kind of close-range magic explosion was obviously not enough to cause fatal damage to him.

Blessed by the "Mother Earth".

Under the influence, his burly body, which had been severely deformed, began to heal at an alarming rate, and even the hair that had been damaged by magic "grew" back.

"What a big rat ......"

Wei Lin frowned and complained, and immediately another magic triggered, and as the pages burned, a sharp arrow made of blazing flames shot out of thin air under the impetus of the magical bowstring, and in the blink of an eye, this deflagrating arrow designed to snipe an important target hit the target accurately.

The terrifying flames not only contained a terrifying impact, but also possessed a terrifying heat that could burn through the flesh, so the moment the arrow hit, the two sharp claws that the members of the association blocked in front of the skull were burned on the spot, and then the flaming magic arrow pierced the severely deformed head, creating a terrible explosion from the inside out.

Even if he had already accepted the transformation of Mother Earth's power, even if his vitality was extremely strong, there was no way to continue to move forward with his head completely incinerated!

However, Verin, who managed to kill an important target with two normal spells, was not happy.

Through the black cat's vision, she saw that within seconds, a large number of rats rushed in, and they were like water pouring in!

In this space-confined corridor, two waves soon collided, and rats that were highly similar in shape and appearance, but were dominated by different forces and wills, collided with each other ferociously, creating a battle line filled with magical mist in just a few seconds.

….

……

Almost at the same moment.

In the midst of that ancient and absurd dream, Xiuge also rode the extremely fierce three-tailed giant rat into the enemy's position, under the astonishing speed of this war beast, the "spear" in his hand directly transformed from the roots of some kind of plant easily stabbed into the chest of a sea beast, he screamed like the other mouse knights, with the blessing of Mother Earth, he pushed the weapon in his hand forward, flung it away, and threw the sea beast that was completely pierced.

A three-tailed giant rat followed with precision to "catch" the badly injured prey, its tail delicately wrapped around the body of the sea beast, dragging it violently in front of it, and its sharp front teeth gnawed hard, tearing the sea beast's body in two directly along the wound made by Xiuge.

Similar scenes are happening all over the battlefield.

The sea beasts, who had already gone through several rounds of fighting, were exhausted, and although they continued to try to push forward under the will of the gods, they were powerless in the face of the three-tailed giant rat rushing down from the mountain, and the thick front was torn open a huge gap in an instant.

Unlike the human cavalry in Shuge's impression, these giant rats are still extremely terrifying after losing their impact, they are heavy enough to crush these burly sea beasts, and their minions can easily pierce their scale armor, while those rat swarms called by the three-tailed giant rats are constantly walking through the battlefield, although they cannot break through the sea beasts' defenses, but they can create great chaos and trouble, under this efficient cooperation, these clans who came out of the sea immediately suffered huge casualties.

However, the power of the tides is endless.

While the first sea beasts had been slaughtered, the second group had already landed on the tide, and these terrifying creatures had thicker scales and more bizarre shapes than those of the advance troops, some resembling fish, others soft creatures with pitch black bodies......

A new round of fighting has begun.

In the face of these more powerful sea beasts, even the fierce three-tailed giant rat could not easily match, so, with the orders of the leaders of those rat soldiers, the cavalry who had been caught in the battle began to quickly withdraw from both sides of the battlefield, and then, the second group of troops waiting on the hillside launched a charge again, and this time, the three-tailed giant rat was no longer only the rat knight with a spear, but also a lot of priests wearing miserable white bone helmets and wrapped in robes.

They are the beings of the clan who can communicate with the Mother Earth Goddess, and they are withdrawing with their "companions".

As the priests continued to scream or use the black stone knives to cut through their bodies, the blessings from the gods began to emerge, the bodies of the three-tailed giants began to swell, the muscles of the knights became more developed, and the individual infantry who followed the cavalry to launch the charge even swelled into terrible giants under the influence of this blessing......

The war continues.

……

If there is a typo on the plane, it may not be too late to change it, and it will be dealt with uniformly after landing (paralyzed)
