Meteor Fire came like a storm!
With Soren’s terrifying attack speed, mastering perfect dual wielding, all 60 meteor fires were thrown in the blink of an eye. The intense explosions were like anti-aircraft fire, causing the Arcane Power Armor to come to a halt, with the ground becoming pockmarked from the continuous blasts, the fiery explosion completely engulfing the target. Such terrifying damage would likely have killed even an adult giant dragon, yet there were no data prompts appearing before Soren, indicating that the Arcane Power Armor had not fallen.
Zzzzz!
A green beam similar to a Disintegration Ray shot out, disintegrating the stones behind Soren into dust at the moment he dodged at high speed.
The silhouette of the Arcane Power Device appeared, its silver surface pockmarked from the explosions; the penetration power of Mayoufu Meteor was too strong, so even it could not escape. However, this level of damage was not enough to destroy the golem device of its rank. Its immense damage reduction allowed it to withstand damage better than many divine saints.
“d*mn it!”
Soren remembered he still had a few meteors left, but this was just the first stage of the battle; who knows what other things are inside the Wizard Tower? Using up all Mayoufu Meteors just to deal with a guarding Arcane Power Device meant he would have to use his sword to deal with such monsters next! If he had a powerful artifact in hand, it would be fine, but without an artifact, legendary weapons could not completely bypass this steel monster’s damage immunity. To deal with this thing, he must have extremely high armor-piercing and sharp properties; for now, it was difficult to completely break through.
“Gloria! Corinna!”
Soren decided to reserve a few Mayoufu Meteors for emergencies, so he drew Icebane and the Gisz Silver Blade, then solemnly said to the two witches fighting on the other side: “High-level enchanted weapons!”
Two spells manifested.
—“High-level Enchanted Weapon!” (Icebane, +5 Legendary Weapon)
—“High-level Enchanted Weapon!” (Gisz Silver Blade, +5 Legendary Weapon)
Enchanted weapons temporarily increase the lethality of equipment. High-level enchanted weapons can be applied to legendary equipment, increasing by 1 level for every 4 levels of casting, up to a maximum of +5 legendary weapons.
Both witches were of legendary strength, just enough to reach the maximum enhancement level!
With two +5 legendary weapons in hand, Soren charged again, relying on his powerful evasion ability and explosive power to fight hand-to-hand with the Arcane Power Device before him. He needed to push the target to his k*ll line.
At the same time.
The energy brilliance converging at the top of the Wizard Tower grew more dazzling, and suddenly the High Priest’s voice rang in Soren’s mind: “Master! Be careful!”
“The Arcane Crystal Pulse Cannon is targeting you!”
At the top of the Wizard Tower, a cold mechanical voice echoed: “Arcane Crystal Pulse Cannon fully charged!”
“Selecting the highest threat target!”
“Target locked! … Initiate attack! …”
Undoubtedly.
Soren was the biggest threat among everyone. Because he was in the saint form of a deity, the Tower Spirit inside the Wizard Tower designated him as the primary attack target. After completing the charging of the Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon, it immediately initiated an attack against him.
A beam of energy descended from the sky!
The speed was so fast it was impossible to dodge. In fact, it seemed dodging was out of the question. He could only use other methods to evade.
—“Shadow Leap!”
Relying on physical movement could not evade such an attack; only a leap across dimensions and spaces could do that.
There was no explosion.
At Soren’s original position, a bottomless pit appeared on the ground, and it was unclear how deep it was. This shot from the Arcane Crystal Pulse Cannon had left a depth immeasurable to the n*ked eye.
“Target evaded!”
“Continue charging energy! …”
At that moment, Soren almost broke into a cold sweat. If it weren’t for the High Priest’s early warning, he might have been killed by that cannon. Such terrifying lethality could likely overwhelm even the divine body’s defense, and his divine power shield would probably shatter in an instant. Only the presence of powerful divine power might barely withstand it. When he had taken out the Duchess of Red Dragon in one shot, he hadn’t felt such a terrifying threat, but now that he was targeted by the Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon, he realized how terrifying it truly was.
“I can’t drag this out any longer!”
The speed of the energy beam was too fast; if his reaction was even slightly delayed, he could be instantly killed.
Soren didn’t want to face another shot.
Moreover, if it targeted Gloria and the Fallen Witch, their instant teleportation spells might not be able to evade it either. Soren had been somewhat lucky just now; the real evasion probability was probably only around 50%. This thing was similar to a laser, and he could only rely on anticipating beforehand to complete the dodge; otherwise, he could easily get hit, and if hit, it would mean d*ath!
—“Spinning Slash!”
—“Shadow Assassination*3!”
—“Shadow Travel!”
Soren’s figure swiftly moved like a ghost, directly appearing behind the Arcane Power Device after a series of attacks, and then he unleashed his ultimate move.
—“Divine Power Shockwave!”
A terrifying divine power field erupted, and his divine power value diminished at that moment. Against such creatures with terrifying physical resistance and magical resistance, it seemed that only the divine power field could deliver the full damage.
Rumbling!
Under the violent impact, the Arcane Power Device fell to the ground but did not d*e, its entire body crackling with fire.
Its level of damage was already quite high.
—“Sword Intent [Decapitation]!”
Soren leapt up in an instant and swung his blade down at the silver-white metallic head, and then the enemy before him finally became still.
A stream of data appeared before his eyes:
“k*ll the Arcane Power Device! …”
“Extract target’s soul energy! … You gained 1,250,000 points of Killing Experience! …”
“The target possesses a high-value soul gem.”
“Would you like to absorb the energy?”
Soul gem?
Soren undoubtedly chose not to absorb it; the soul gem could be extracted after the battle, and absorbing the energy inside would be a waste.
10 points of divine power were consumed like that.
Soren didn’t have time to regret the severe consumption of his hard-earned divine power and turned to charge toward the other three enemies.
—“Shadow Leap!”
An invisible barrier appeared around the body of Tower Spirit No. 7, but under Soren’s torrential attacks, the energy shield was soon shattered. The moment Icebane pierced the gem in the opponent’s chest, Tower Spirit No. 7’s body suddenly stiffened, and then it seemed to have lost all sources of energy, becoming a puppet standing in place.
“Immediately enter the Wizard Tower!”
At the top of the Wizard Tower, the bright light grew stronger; undoubtedly, another Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon was fully charged. With no time to deal with the Diamond Golem, Soren rushed inside with the others.
A strike descended from the sky!
Since all four targets had entered the tower, the Diamond Golem created by the Fallen Witch became the target of the strike. This top-tier puppet creature with a biological level of 21 was directly evaporated under the impact of the Arcane Crystal Pulse Cannon.
Completely vanished!
A bottomless pit remained on the ground.
Once inside the Wizard Tower, the threat of the Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon diminished considerably. With Tower Spirit No. 7 and the Arcane Power Device dealt with, the remaining two Diamond Golems were no longer an issue.
The battle soon concluded.
At this point, Soren and the others had time to take a breather, as they felt worn out from the recent fight, especially with their spell slots significantly depleted. Legendary wizards did not have many spells; distributing defense spells, enhancement spells, teleportation spells, and damage spells left them insufficient.
“What is this?”
The first floor of the Wizard Tower wasn’t very large, about three hundred square meters, and had not utilized spells to create a larger space. On the side was a spiraling staircase, and in the center of the first floor was an enormous metal ring, inscribed with countless complex runes. The color of the metal looked somewhat unusual, seemingly not one of the types of metals they could see now.
After confirming there were no immediate threats, the Fallen Witch crouched on the ground, extending her pale fingers to caress the metal ring, and murmured, “This is made of Orichalcum.”
“A very high-level alchemical metal, requiring knowledge in [Elemental Annihilation] to produce. Its hardness is astonishing and possesses extremely high magical fusion.”
“These runes!? …”
Gloria couldn’t help but crouch down to observe for a moment. Suddenly, her expression changed, excitement mixed with astonishment: “The runes inscribed here are for the [Anti-Gravity] spell! …”
“This is the Floating Ring!”
“Originally, it seems the master of the Wizard Tower planned to float this tower, but for some reason, it hasn’t been activated yet.”
“No, wait!”
“This Floating Ring appears to be incomplete! … It only supports the structure of the Wizard Tower but does not encompass the Maze; perhaps it hasn’t started due to being unfinished.”
The Fallen Witch’s expression was also quite excited as she murmured, “Floating City! …”
“One of the secrets of the Floating City! … So this is where the mystery lies? … No wonder the Witch Council has experimented for so long without being able to float large targets! … These are runes we have never seen before! …”
She reached out to caress some of the runes on the ground, her face showing a hint of obsession.
“Ahem!”
Soren’s cough broke the trance of the two beautiful witches immersed in the mystery of the floating technique, and he said in a deep voice: “Ladies! I’m afraid this isn’t the right time to study this, is it?”
