This maelstrom of magic comes and goes as fast as it comes.

Almost as soon as it is formed, it quickly converges and disappears.

At the same time, inside the Mage Tower of Magdan City.

Angela Lauder, who had been in a state of epiphany, suddenly opened her eyes, as if in a big dream.

Her eyes became extraordinarily bright and energetic, and the surging spiritual power naturally radiated in all directions.

Just by the movement of the mind, the spiritual power can be turned into substance, extending to a hundred meters away.

This is a sign that the meditation method has entered the fourth order!

It means that Angela has officially broken through the shackles of a third-order spellcaster and has become a fourth-order archmage!

You must know that a fourth-order spellcaster can be more powerful than a pure gold-level magic cultivator.

The former belongs to the reckless, and the latter is a real spell battery on the battlefield.

Rank is just a system, not an absolute measure of strength.

Just like most non-high-rank monsters are generally half a rank weaker than the Naroa natives.

The standard monsters of the fifth order are against gold-level magic cultivators.

However, if it is a fifth-order demon dragon, it can usually defeat a gold-level demon cultivator.

Among them, the difference in strength is huge,

However, the Dark Dragon Belle is an exception, as it has not yet returned to its full glory.

At present, it is a little stronger than the ordinary fifth-order monster guard.

And in its heyday, it was about to be promoted to the sixth rank.

In contrast, the fourth-order spellcaster in the Naroa aboriginal system can completely benchmark most fifth-order monsters, even if it is placed in a giant city, it can be regarded as a character.

After all, Angela, who had been stuck at the peak of the third order, was enough to sit in the Bangcheng Mage Tower.

The caster takes one step at a time, and each ascension makes a huge difference.

Psychic power brings about a series of changes, including comprehension and refined perception.

The previously obscure tricks of spell casting have now become extraordinarily thorough.

Aside from these details, the most important thing is spell promotion.

At this time, Angela could already understand the mysteries of those fourth-order large-scale magic.

During the long years when she was stuck in a bottleneck, she was not idle, studying some of the fourth-order spells.

The mystery that could not be understood at the time is now all natural.

I don't know if this is a lot of accumulation.

High-level large-scale magic is comparable to a natural disaster, covering a radius of hundreds of meters or even kilometers at every turn.

Use the elemental traction to set off lightning and thunder, wind and rain, and a brilliant sea of fire.

Its power is by no means comparable to that of low-level single magic.

This is also the real strength of the fourth-order archmage.

I felt all kinds of changes after the promotion in my mind.

Angela Lauder couldn't help but feel emotional.

She floated to her feet, as if her body was repulsed, and the suspended particles and dust were not allowed to get close.

This is a manifestation of the passive interference of mental forces in reality.

At this time, the mage tower stretched out the shield of magical energy, like an oval and slender ball of light standing in the first circle.

Walking slowly down the tower, Angela found her lieutenant and asked about the current situation.

"How's the battle going now?"

"Did the monsters invade the town?"

"Where's the master?"

For the first time in so many years, she took off her hood and lifted her old woman's disguise.

It has returned to the stubborn face with short burgundy hair, fair and delicate skin, and small and delicate eyebrows.

The years have not left too many traces on her.

At this moment, she looks like a girl who has just come of age.

This made the deputy of the Mage Tower, a third-order median mage named Brett Coelho, stunned.

Then I was stunned to react.

"You... Are you President Angela? ”

Brett looked at the emblem on her chest and the familiar robe, a look of surprise on her face.

The two have also worked together for several Naroa years, and he has never seen Angela's line-up.

The question blurted out went unanswered, and Brett then took a few steps back, as if frightened.

“……”

"You've been promoted!"

His keen perception led him to spot Angela's changes.

Especially the kind of natural suppression brought about by the promotion of spiritual power, which made Brett feel a little panicked.

Angela just bowed her head slightly.

Brett in front of him, as the deacon who mastered the Mage Tower of Bangcheng, was also contracted by Chen Xuan.

So there is no problem at all to ask the "master" about the situation in front of him.

And Angela Lauder is in a good mood right now.

The frustration caused by not being able to make the cut for many years has now vanished.

The big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

It was only now that she realized that letting go of her attachment to the fragment of the Key of the Rose and comprehending herself was the true way to practice.

She lost the Rose Key Phantasm Shard, but she was freed from the shackles in her heart.

I was able to put my mind fully on the promotion.

After witnessing the field of [Time Slowing Down], he realized that he broke the shackles of dust in one fell swoop.

That's not a good thing for her.

In the future, Angela has every chance to witness a new world that is higher and farther.

This made her feel refreshed and even her mood became extraordinarily happy.

As for signing the contract and becoming Chen Xuan's slave, she didn't have too much trouble about it.

Being a slave is also relative, and the key depends on who is enslaving her.

For Chen Xuan, Angela was convinced, she understood who was the real variable in this world.

Looking at Brett, whose expression had changed several times, she didn't say much.

This guy has worked with her for several years, and most of the time they get along with her are relatively uneventful.

I still remember that when Brett first came to the Bangcheng Mage Tower, he had only just entered the third order.

At that time, he had a lot of respect for Angela, a senior.

Later, after Brett cultivated from the early stage of the third order to the middle stage, his attitude changed faintly.

In his eyes, Angela is a "pensioner" spellcaster who can't break through the shackles.

There are many such casters in the big cities.

didn't expect that at this moment, Angela directly gave him a big shock.

There was silence for a few seconds before a somewhat distracted Brett reacted.

He hurriedly bowed and saluted, truthfully reporting the latest situation to Angela.

"The owner is not in the city, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"The latest news is that the monsters have broken through the defense of the third circle and are encroaching on the circle."

"In addition, there is an anomaly in Axor Manor, where there is suspected to be a large-scale teleportation ritual altar."

"Just over twenty minutes ago, tens of thousands of monsters suddenly descended there, and at this time they are launching a fierce attack on the Baron's Castle!"

When it came to business, Brett couldn't help but become serious.

Also on the first level, the position of the Mage Tower is exactly opposite to Akso Manor.

In the heart of this circular core is the Baronial Castle.

Hearing this, Angela Lauder suddenly frowned.

"The master is not in the city?"

"The castle must not be allowed to fall!"

"Brett, gather the remaining casters in the tower and come with me to support!"

There is a huge disparity between the monsters and the defenders of Magdam.

It is difficult to win head-to-head.

This is the consensus of all people, and it is also the truth.

Even if the strength of the monsters is generally half a level weaker than that of the aborigines, they can't stand the large number.

A warehouse full of rats bites the tiger to death.

What's more, monsters aren't weak mice.

The Mage Tower is a regional-level power affiliated with the Magic Guild.

In the case where most of the caster members have been transferred to various parts of the city to support.

They must leave behind a number of tower guards to ensure that the various spell inheritance and research materials stored in the mage tower are not damaged.

It's just that Angela didn't expect that after the epiphany and awakening, the monster could directly break into the city by means of advance preparation, and launched a fierce attack on the Baron's Castle.

The siege of tens of thousands of monsters was by no means something that the Baron's Castle could withstand.

The defense of Magdam itself is a multi-circle pattern from the outside in.

The advantage is that the defense system is complete and has sufficient defense depth.

The downside is that the defenders are doomed to disperse.

The larger the zone, the lower the unit defense density.

And the most embarrassing thing is that the monster directly bypassed the circle defense line and launched an attack from the core area.

This made it difficult for the garrison to defend effectively.

If you engage in frontal combat and blocking, it will be no less than sending you to death.

Neither the number nor the average strength is superior.

Take the head and go to the front to be tough.

Fortunately, after Angela advanced to the rank of archmage, she had the ability to perform a wide range of magic.

As long as the entry point is right, it may be possible to change the situation on the local battlefield.

This is the real reason why the caster is considered a baby bump.

When Angela Lauder spoke herself, Brett didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly summoned the spellcasters who were guarding the tower.

In place, Angela's gaze became deep, as if she was looking forward to it, and she seemed to be in a trance.

……

At this moment, the Baron's Castle is under attack by monsters.

The magic shield was beaten and rippled.

The Magical Shield Spawner beneath the castle soon became overloaded.

The spell array used to fill the core to recharge it emitted puffs of smoke.

A large number of inscribed central cores are carved from a whole Mithril pillar, with precious magical materials such as dark gold and gem powder.

At that moment, the Mithril Hub cracked.

Shallow cracks are spreading rapidly, and when they are linked together, they become large cracks.

Until the center of the device is completely destroyed, the magic shield can no longer be maintained.

"Damn it!"

"At the current intensity of the attack.

"The Castle's Shroud Hub can only last a maximum of 0.03 Water Hours!"

The garrison responsible for filling the magic energy was sweating profusely.

His surroundings were full of empty shells of gray cores that had been depleted of mana.

This thing consumes thousands of crowns worth of cores every now and then.

I can't afford to use it in peacetime, so I can only use it in wartime.

But even so, it is still difficult to recover the situation, and it can only be delayed for a certain time.

Fortunately, the castle itself also serves as a defensive fortress.

As early as the beginning of construction, the walls and towers of the castle were reinforced with runes by the magebuilders.

Even if the shield is broken, it will continue to resist attacks for a while.

The busyness and tension of the underground hub are not mentioned for the time being.

On the terrace of the castle, Baron Bezos had a complicated expression.

Due to the requisitioning of the family heirloom dragon steel sword, at this time he was holding a two-handed sword commonly used by the warriors of Bangcheng.

The obese Lady Zuzana stood behind him, rarely calm and quiet.

Married for many years, only at this moment, she gave her husband enough respect.

Because she knew that from the moment the castle was breached, this man would stand in the way without hesitation.

Looking at the monster that was frantically attacking in front of the castle, Baron Bezos's brow furrowed.

The loss of the front line and the retreat to the second circle is not good news.

Now the monster has even attacked the Baron's Castle, which makes the future even more unoptimistic.

On top of that, the owner is nowhere to be seen.

All of the above happened to Baron Bezos.

The situation at hand has become too bad to be repeated.

If there is no turnaround, the fall of the castle seems to be a foregone conclusion!

When he and a large number of the city's chief officials are dead, the city's command system will be paralyzed immediately.

The defensive dispatch of the front will be in disarray.

Such a situation will inevitably hasten the demise of the city of Magdam.

Silently clenching the sword in his hand, Baron Bezos sighed leisurely.

He glanced back at his wife, and then gave her a deep kiss.

Because, this may be the last kiss.

After many years of life, he still has feelings for Mrs. Zuzana.

"Honey, can we survive?"

Lady Zuzana asked worriedly.

To this, Baron Bezos only nodded slightly.

"We can all live."

"When the time comes, we'll go to the Outpost to reunite with our daughters."

"But now I'm going to fulfill my responsibilities as a baron of the kingdom and lord of Magtan."

With that, he picked up his two-handed sword and resolutely left the room.

When they came to the castle battle station, everyone was waiting for them.

In addition to the more than 1,000 people who died on the stone wall, more than 4,000 people remained in the castle.

Fortunately, the castle is big enough to fit in.

If the monsters want to occupy the castle, they will have to fill it with flesh and blood!

Longbowmen and crossbowmen occupied the commanding heights of the tower.

The garrisons, armed with their own weapons, stood at each of the two ends of each battle position and every passage.

Seeing the arrival of Baron Bezos, everyone barely bothered to brace their spirits.

In the face of a crisis, when I see the chief, I can always resolve that little bit of tension.

The castle's thin gates could not block the advance of the monsters.

So the first line of defense is laid out at the door and in the hall after entering the door.

It consisted of a garrison of about 240 men.

Without speaking, Baron Bezos stood behind the battle line and waited in silence!

Maybe a minute passed, maybe two or three minutes passed.

"Poof!"

There was a crunch sound like a bubble being popped.

The next moment, the noise of the outside world suddenly entered the castle!

This means that the Magic Shield has been breached!

"Goo-dong!"

Everyone subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Immediately after that, outside the castle gate, there were shouts and slashing sounds.

The howls of the monsters mingle with the screams of the garrisons!

"Bang!"

The gate was constantly struck and trembled.

The rune aura on the surface is getting dimmer and dimmer!

"Boom!"

Finally, after a loud bang, a crack appeared in the gate.

Through this crack, you can see the garrisons fighting the monsters in close quarters and the bloody horses covered with corpses!

"Bell!"

The sonorous collision sound is endless, which makes everyone despair!
