The giant steadily advanced forward.
Due to its unique bloodline, the giant chose the specialties of Armored Skin and Epic Strength when ascending to the Legendary Domain. Theoretically speaking, considering that giants naturally have higher health growth than other species and that a half-pureblood giant warrior’s health bonus, its total health should be slightly higher than Soren’s. Soren, as a deity, already has health close to that of a giant dragon, and likewise, the giant in front of him is also very close to a dragon in terms of strength and health.
At this moment, the giant resembled a city wall, successfully blocking the enemy’s onslaught and intercepting everyone outside the ship’s anchor.
With a sufficiently excellent meat shield, half the battle is won.
Chouhou and Lulu moved around the giant, occasionally finishing off the injured sharkmen, while the High Priest did not intervene at all; only the Holy Spirit Priest Milan sporadically cast some healing and enhancement divine techniques.
The Drow Warrior guards flanked them, not directly joining the battle but instead blocking the enemy’s retreat on the sides.
The battle did not last too long.
These sharkmen were soon completely defeated, with a small portion fleeing into the sea and the rest being captured.
“Your Grace, the High Priest!”
The giant brought over a two-meter-tall sharkman as if it were a chick, then tossed it in front of the High Priest, saying, “This is the shaman you wanted. Still alive!”
With that, the giant pointed at the barely alive sharkman and gave a slightly embarrassed smile.
These sharkmen were too fragile.
It had almost crushed one just now; as a giant warrior breaking into the Legendary Domain, its strength increased rapidly, surpassing most swamp giants.
The High Priest signaled the nearby Holy Spirit Priest Milan to cast a healing divine technique, and a slight glow of spiritual energy appeared in her eyes as she directly controlled the mental will of the sharkman before her. With the High Priest’s high-level (30) Mind Sorcerer capabilities, one person was enough to eliminate these monsters, as practically no one could resist her mental control. If it weren’t for Soren, she should have been performing on a broader stage in the Astral Realm; the Material Plane was too small for her.
After a while.
The High Priest released her control over the sharkman and said lightly, “We found it. It’s in the underwater canyon ahead.”
“But the sharkman says there are very fearsome monsters inside.”
“You all prepare; we will go down this afternoon to see what the situation is.”

Modo City, Council Chamber.
The affairs of Modo Academy were proceeding in an orderly manner, and when Soren suggested that the wizards remaining in Modo City teach the students, they had no choice but to agree. Having classes just one day a week wouldn’t significantly impact their schedules, and being teachers at Modo Academy would also contribute. Modo City would rate them according to the excellent students they taught, and these contributions and ratings could be used to enter Modo City’s grand library, where a lot of spells and knowledge from the Arcane Empire era were preserved.
To the south of the central square.
At this moment, a giant building was being constructed; this was the expanded library of Modo City.
It initially housed around thirty thousand books, covering subjects such as astronomy, geography, history, literature, and arcane studies. Most of the books were private collections of Gloria and the Fallen Witch, while some were items Soren had retrieved from outside, and part of the books from the Arcane Tower had also been moved to the upper levels of the library. Additionally, there was an exhibition hall in the Grand Library showcasing various relics and antiques.
Soren had implemented a strict hierarchy for access to the library.
For example, the Mayoufu Meteor spell could not be accessed in the Grand Library without the corresponding permissions and contributions.
To encourage wizards to contribute to Modo City.
Soren even included books such as Time Stop, Wail of the Banshee, Greater Chain Whirlwind, among others, including some super-magic techniques, all within the library’s accessible range.
However, it was still quite difficult to read them.
You couldn’t rely solely on money to attract wizards; spellcasters are generally quite wealthy, and even though their powers have diminished significantly now, many are still not interested in money.
The best way to attract wizards is to offer them spells and knowledge they don’t know, making them willingly work!
Currently.
Modo City’s library preserved most spells from levels 1 to 9, along with several legendary spells and legendary-level super-magic techniques.
Even more!
Soren even included the process for creating legendary tower spirits, which could be learned as long as they reached the required contributions.
This is also why wizards were eager to respond to Modo Academy; without these benefits before them, they would generally be reluctant to exert effort.
In terms of arcane accumulation, Modo City had a pretty solid foundation.
Currently, Modo City had three legendary wizards: Gloria, the Fallen Witch, and Alice. Although Modo City had only recently risen to prominence, in fact, even within the Wizard Alliance, only seven or eight individuals had advanced to archmage status. The number of legendary wizards in the Northern Witch Council is even lower; besides the Eye of the North’s relatively high strength, the others are mostly of ordinary legendary level, totaling only five or six.
The number of legendary spellcasters is very scarce!
They find it more difficult to break through the Legendary Domain compared to other professions, and the majority of wizards stop at high-level and are forced to transform into liches or other beings, relying on time to gradually become legendary spellcasters.
For such individuals, as long as they transform into liches and live for a few hundred years, they will surely have chances to ascend to legend.
Soren finalized the overall structure of Modo City.
Then, he appointed Saruman as the dean of Modo Academy. As a newly advanced high-level wizard, Saruman possessed divine attributes, and his strength was not much different from that of an ordinary legendary wizard. Furthermore, Soren needed to cultivate his management abilities, as if he promoted Saruman to deity in the future, he would need to oversee a church.
Time quickly shifted to the afternoon.
Once Soren finalized the foundational construction of Modo Academy, he prepared to check on Gloria’s research progress.
However!
At that moment, he suddenly received a distress signal from the High Priest.
Magic Suppression Prison!
Soren instantly reacted and immediately opened a portal!
