Chapter 38: Robbery and Being Robbed!
The existence of the Maze made Gisz hesitate for a moment.
However, it did not hinder their attack because Gisz also understood one point. That is, currently, no Maze can operate for too long, and forcibly starting the Maze would easily drain the energy within the Element Pool. The Maze was originally born from the spell-weaving skills of high elves, and after the Silver Era, the Isthmart Period, and the Arcane Empire period, its craftsmanship has gradually approached perfection, but the larger the Maze, the greater the consumption during operation. (Note: Some spell information about the Maze is available on Baidu.)
The Maze primarily provides constant spell enhancements.
Even during the Arcane Empire period, unless it was an Arcane City managed by a core Grand Archmage, ordinary Arcane Cities could not maintain energy protective force fields with the Maze.
Currently.
The Maze covered on the Arcane Tower provides the following five types of spell powers—Resistance Boost (Permanent), Protection from Evil (Permanent), Blessing (Permanent), Sharpness (Activate), and Agility (Activate).
The Maze is a special kind of Domain Power.
After several glorious arcane civilizations’ improvements, the existence of the Maze is like a net, woven continuously by extremely powerful Spellcasters adding various functions. The Maze currently integrated into the Arcane Tower is still in a relatively low-grade state, only adding three permanent spell effects and two large-scale spell effects that can be activated, basically aimed at demons. If they truly want to achieve the effect of the Maze from the Arcane Empire period, Gloria and the Fallen Witch would also need to incorporate special abilities like anti-magic fields and large-scale attack spells that can be activated temporarily.
The most powerful Mazes can even allow ordinary people within the area to cast spells freely.
However, this requires an enormous amount of energy!
…………
“The spiritual warriors of Gisz have begun to land.”
Gloria’s serious voice sounded, and as her words fell, several openings in the Iron Fortress opened, quickly revealing a group of thin and wiry Gisz warriors rushing forward. Relying on their spiritual armor, they could directly operate in the Astral Realm, and many innate spiritual spells allowed them to teleport short to medium distances.
“Intruders detected!”
“Activate the Arcane Tower Defense System!… Iron Golem activated!… Enter combat mode!…”
A cold, mechanical voice rang out.
As the Gisz warriors landed inside the Floating Tower, a large door opened at the bottom of the Arcane Tower, rows of Iron Golems in the underground storage were directly activated, and then they marched heavily to the surface of the Floating Tower. Naturally, the protective power of an Arcane Tower cannot rely solely on some spells; Golem Puppets are an important part.
“There are quite a few enemies.”
“Better prepare for a quick fight!”
Soren thought for a moment and felt it was better not to drag things out with these Gisz warriors. He directly spoke to the Fallen Witch: “Can the mana superconductor cannon at the top of the Arcane Tower be fired?”
“Fire a shot directly!”
“And then I will go in and take down the Gisz leader.”
Upon hearing this, the Fallen Witch glanced at Soren and slowly said, “Okay! However, the mana superconductor cannon’s charging reaction is quite significant! I’m worried it will alert these enemies!”
That is also true.
The power of the mana superconductor cannon is remarkable, but the noise is also considerable. However, with such a large target, hitting it should be no problem.
“Prepare to fire!”
Soren frowned in thought and said in a deep voice, “I will provide cover! Fire a shot and then pull this Astral Fortress back.”
“Good!” the Fallen Witch responded immediately.
—”Elemental Legion!”
In just a short while, the advancing Gisz warriors had reached over a hundred. Soren directly summoned the elemental crystals he had not used for a long time; he was never afraid of the number of enemies. Accompanied by raging flames and heavy footsteps, an Earth Elemental Elder and a Fire Elemental Elder appeared right in front of him, acting like two walls blocking the Gisz warriors’ advance.
Originally, Soren wanted to summon a Legendary Treant as well.
But for some reason, he hesitated during the summoning and finally decided to give it up.
If summoned, Gloria would definitely ask about it later. How should this kind of thing be explained? Whether it was about the process of gaining the ability to summon treants or the effect after summoning one, it was clear that he could not explain it in detail to Gloria. So Soren simply took more action himself; after all, as a deity, he had other summoning abilities, and if pressed, he could directly pull out the Demon Avatar.
—”Change Form [Divine Power]!”
A hint of golden light appeared in Soren’s eyes as he directly entered Saint form to activate divine power, then waved his hand towards the front, causing the ground in front of him to move, initializing a five-meter-tall earthen wall in just a few seconds. The Divine Power of [Change Form] can be applied not only to himself but also to any other non-divine entities. Soren’s exploration of Divine Power increased gradually over time.
The most important thing right now was to protect against the first wave of enemy attacks to avoid significant damage to the Floating Tower.
“Iron Golems in position!”
“You can launch your attack now!”
Gloria’s calm voice sounded, while an exceptionally bright light gathered at the top of the Arcane Tower, directly pointing towards the distant Astral Fortress.
A line of Iron Golems formed a defensive line.
Combined with the earthen wall created by Soren’s divine ability, all advance of the Gisz warriors was blocked. At this moment, a silvery flowing light also appeared in Soren’s palm; his figure transformed into an afterimage as he rushed forward, instantly killing over ten Gisz warrior soldiers while approaching the Iron Fortress.
—”Change Space [Divine Power]!”
As if realizing Soren’s presence, the Gisz warriors immediately became aware that there was actually a Legendary Wanderer inside the Floating Tower.
The next moment.
A wave of spiritual teleportation appeared near Soren, seemingly strong spiritual Sorcerers came to hunt him down.
In response, a hint of playful smile surfaced at the corner of Soren’s mouth as he directly activated the Divine Power of Change Space, freezing the Gisz spiritual Sorcerers who had just arrived in place.
As a being with [Medium Divine Power], dealing with these enemies was almost like child’s play!
—”Change Reality [Divine Power]!”
—”Shadows [Domain]!”
—”Trickery [Domain]!”
—”Fear [Domain]!”
Boom!
A dazzling ray of light shot out from the top of the Floating Tower, instantly piercing through the steel armor of the Astral Fortress, while Soren’s figure also rose into the air at that moment, his form shrouded in golden light, nearly entering a demigod state. He did not activate all the Domain powers he possessed but merely activated Shadows, Trickery, and Fear domains, while using the Change Reality Divine Power to lock a one-kilometer diameter area centered around himself.
Since they had already fired the cannon.
Then let’s reveal his true self and make it easier for these Gisz warriors to d*e! Clearly, they would understand that they were kicking a steel plate this time!
The characteristics of the Saint form were very obvious.
Because it was nearly impossible for mortals to activate so many domain abilities and directly distort the surrounding reality.
At the moment Soren activated the demigod form and surged forward, the Gisz warriors inside the Iron Fortress fell into a panic. This was not only due to the negative state added by the [Fear] domain but also because they realized they seemed to have crawled onto the head of a divine saint. Although the Gisz did not believe in any deities, they were well aware that even the power of a weak divine being was not something they could easily oppose.
“Teleport!”
“Prepare for spatial teleportation!”
“All [Spiritual Travelers] immediately follow me to the upper levels of the fortress!”
A hoarse and panicked roar erupted as an elderly-looking Gisz hurried towards the upper part of the Astral Fortress, followed by some special Gisz who were Sorcerers of the [Mind Teleportation System].
“Trying to run?”
Activated in divine form, Soren’s senses were razor-sharp, with godly perception almost locking onto all energy fluctuations. A smirk of ridicule spread at the corner of his mouth as he slowly said, “You really thought you could escape under my nose!”
“So naïve!”
Soren’s figure transformed into a golden humanoid, accompanied by the ripple of divine power, the surrounding space was forcibly controlled by him while sealing all teleportation pathways.
—”Change Space [Divine Power]!”
—”Large Dimensional Anchor!”
