Chapter 1019: 317. Magic Shadow Stabs with a Knife_3
And the ones enacting this disaster upon them were the wizards standing around the magic circle.
Lecturer Professor Gilbert Winchester had sent his magic avatar and seven Sixth-ring Soul Shaping Wizards to assist the Lord Sorel of the City of Exiles.
The chilling spectacle of the ceremony unfolding before them was the handiwork of the Soul Shaping Wizards.
The Soul Shaping Wizards were uniformly dressed in impenetrable black magic robes with face masks and hoods.
The Lord of the City of Exiles, Mobius Soller, wore a long robe adorned with satin ribbons and intricate ring clasps, his head encircled by a metal headband set with a forward-facing magic gem. noveldrama
He was a deathly pale Shadow Dark Soul.
...
As the Soul Shaping Wizards perfected the magic circle, he, trailing the long hem of his robe, roamed the skies in circles, clearly agitated and uneasy.
“How much longer?” Soller asked the Soul Shaping Wizards below in a hoarse voice.
“At least six days,” replied Gilbert Winchester’s magic avatar, succinctly.
Soller was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
But considering that his mastery in the realm of Death Magic was far less than theirs, he could only swallow his impatience.
Soon, however, Soller’s attitude changed with a report from the Vigilance Team.
Several members of the Vigilance Team, tasked with liaising with forces outside the city, brought unsettling information.
All three Chief City Guard Wizards who had ventured out to scout the enemy were missing without a trace.
And the group responsible for constructing the Magic Barrier, the Shadow Death Laborers and Supervisors, had suffered heavy casualties and desertions had occurred.
It didn’t take much thought to realize this was certainly the handiwork of those Thunder Wizards.
But the question was, who exactly were they?
“Hasten the process, Gilbert! Whatever the cost!” Soller said impatiently,
“I have the feeling that the enemy outside is coming for our ceremony!”
“Whatever the cost?” Gilbert’s true face unseen, he gave a dark, low chuckle,
“As long as you can provide more sacrifices, I can certainly speed things up. Sacrifice a Deputy Mayor, and we speed up by three days. Sacrifice two, and we can start the ceremony right now. Then, you can immediately experience the ‘desire’ to reproduce. Once the ceremony ends, you will possess the power of ‘reproduction’.”
Upon hearing the word “reproduction,” a frenzy flashed in Soller’s eyes.
“How to reproduce offspring while in spirit form” had always been a vexing problem for all Ethereal Beings.
As the leader of the local Shadow Deathers, Soller was no exception.
He dreamt of letting his own Shadow Deathers “give birth” to more and more of their kind, without the need to capture living slaves.
In fact, Soller and the City of Exiles were created to realize “Spirit Reproduction,” and their primary task was to research this magical subject.
Their collaborator was none other than the Soul Shaping Society, known for its profound knowledge in the realm of spirits.
Because the magic ceremony that could grant Ethereal Beings the ability to reproduce was somewhat dangerous, the Shadow Death Magic Realm specifically moved the experimental site to the Dark Zone of the Kashel Continent.
If the magic ceremony caused an irreversible disaster, it would only be the people of the Kashel Continent who suffered.
Soller had spent over a decade building and maintaining the City of Exiles, collecting experimental materials, and optimizing the experimental process.
There was no way he would abandon his life’s pursuit because of the “Thunder Wizards” outside the city.
“Wait here.”
Solomon dropped an icy remark and turned to fly out of the window of the Grand Hall.
In the three minutes after he left, violent shadow energy swept through the Upper City Area, and multiple magic walls were brutally destroyed, with roars and curses echoing throughout the district.
The members of the Vigilance Team in the Lower Town stood agape, watching the Upper City Area continually erupt with shadow explosions.
The walls collapsed, and massive rocks fell from the sky, smashing houses in the Lower Town.
A huge Dark Shadow Multi-headed Snake, with its enormous body, stretched out from the broken walls of the Upper City Area, drawing arcs in the air, and then with a loud clang, it smashed through another wall and burrowed into it.
The piercing hisses of the serpent and the explosions blossomed within the Upper City Area.
All kinds of Shadow Demons were summoned, and terrifying Shadow Fireballs exploded from inside out, directly destroying a small part of the city area.
“What’s happening in the Upper City Area?!”
The members of the Vigilance Team from the Lower Town shrieked in alarm, looking at each other in dismay.
Under their watchful eyes, a gigantic shadow figure, akin to a small mountain, appeared on the trembling outskirts of the Upper City Area.
This shadowy figure had Horns on its head and pitch-black eyes. Although only its upper body was formed, it exuded a chilling ferocity that sent shivers down one’s spine.
It raised its hands, and turbulent shadow flames condensed within its palms, which then further transformed into two Shadow Scimitars.
“Huff~ Huff~”
The two hundred-meter-long Shadow Scimitars swept horizontally across the Upper City Area, leaving behind clearly visible gigantic cracks on the walls.
Shadow energy burned over the cracks like flames, quickly piercing through the Upper City Area.
“Run!!! The Upper City Area is going to fall!!”
The triangular part of the Upper City Area was bisected by the huge shadow figure, and the lower part crumbled and cracked, rapidly transforming into numerous falling stones and creating a sand and stone waterfall in the sky.
The huge shadow figure swung its blades several more times, slicing off more and more of the city area, and finally crossed its scimitars and thrust them into the city area suspended from the Ceiling, unleashing a towering wave of shadow energy.
“Boom~~~~”
The entire Upper City Area, except for the topmost Grand Hall protected by an unbreakable Magic Barrier, was completely destroyed by the double swords of the giant shadow figure.
This earth-shattering mutation that occurred in the City of Exiles caused an energy fluctuation that covered the entire Shadow Wind Plain.
Noland Lee’s “Tracking Mark,” placed at the border of the Stone Forest and the Shadow Wind Plain, precisely captured the extraordinary energy mutation.
He cast “Mind View” and took a distant glance at the City of Exiles, covered in the gathered sand and stones, and was stunned:
“Ah, what… what’s going on here? Who’s attacking the City of Exiles? If they destroy the district like this, how can I scour for treasures inside?!”
Just as Noland Lee was venting his frustration, a voice he hadn’t heard in a long time but was extremely familiar with drilled into his mind.
“Beep————Shshshshsh”
“Beep————”
“Wobble babble bub babble bub——”
“Beep————”
Noland Lee’s expression shifted, his demeanor turned extremely grave:
“Alien Space Noise? It’s appearing here?”
