Chapter 1083: 340.Malignant epidemic
“Hiss… Did this group of Pure Light Wizards just leave? Couldn’t at least one person stay behind, squatting until midnight to see if a Pollution Zone appears?”
Noland Lee, using a “Tracking Mark” some kilometers away from the Pure Light squad, observed from afar the wizards activating the Teleportation Gate.
The sun in the sky expanded a round, casting brilliant sunlight toward the ground level, taking away the ten Pure Light Wizards with several light columns.
They never stopped to have a proper discussion about the authenticity of the mysterious inscriptions.
Before the others teleported away, Noland Lee cast a Deconstruction spell and checked their memory fragments.
As the Captain, Ias Lanti was resolute in his attitude and decisive in his actions, directly rejecting Bella’s proposal.
...
Moreover, he quoted a golden sentence from the “Law of Pure Light” to support his point.
The “Law of Pure Light” is a “cultural course” that Pure Light Wizards must learn; it defines the conduct of Pure Light Wizards.
Although it’s not as binding as the Ulnas Ring Law, throwing out its classic quotes during arguments can often be conclusive.
Ias Lanti said, don’t try to prevent sins that have not yet occurred because the “Law of Pure Light” doesn’t teach Pure Light Wizards to do so. noveldrama
Hmm…
Noland Lee had no comment, after all, that was the behavior guideline of another wizard force.
In any case, the warning he left for the others served a certain purpose.
When a true Pollution Zone appears, the Pure Light Wizards should arrive quickly, as they did when the “Bustling Tunnel” incident occurred.
The only thing that could prevent the wizards from coming to close the Pollution Zone was the attitude of the Alchemy Cathedral.
This wasn’t something Noland Lee could control, so there was no need for him to worry.
“Just wait, at midnight 0 o’clock, I’ll have to enter the Pollution Zone.”
Noland Lee took out his pocket watch to check the time.
It was around 6 PM, six hours away from the emergence of the Pollution Zone.
To prevent the spread of the Pollution Zone from exceeding expectations, he needed to notify acquaintances to prepare early.
…
…
Late at night, 11 o’clock.
The Artificial Angels transferred from the Upper City Area still stood tall around the Spire, forming a wall over 200 meters high.
They were covered in mega-sized jumpsuits, specially made by the Alchemy Cathedral, which protected their vital parts.
Some areas such as the neck, face, and hands were not covered by the jumpsuits, exposing skin as smooth as mirrors.
The eyes of the Artificial Angels were closed, their expressions serene, neither happy nor sad.
Some alchemists were seeing these colossal beings for the first time.
While unseen by others, they sneakily reached out to touch the Artificial Angels.
They were made of metal, no doubt; these Artificial Angels crafted by the Alchemy Cathedral were forged from metal.
Their fair complexion resulted from a kind of Alchemy paint, not from man-made skin.
It was hard to imagine how much Alchemy Material and all-purpose metal powder was used to create such colossal Artificial Angels… This was what every alchemist observing the Artificial Angels wondered.
“Everyone, gather at the Main Door of the Spire Hall.”
The voice of Madimanson broadcasted through the Alchemy Horn hanging high in the sky:
“Next, we shall arrange the charging teams for the Stereo Array. Alchemists whose names are called, please come here to collect a Soul Gem, and then wait beside the Array nodes. No one is to use the Soul Gem without my command. Let’s start dividing into groups now…”
There were about 100 alchemists present.
Each one was equipped with a back-mounted Mechanical Arm, standing on Floating Treadmills, maximized for productivity.
Upon hearing their names, they flew to the Main Door of the Spire Hall, picking up a bag of Soul Gems, then elevating themselves to land on the Stereo Array surrounding the Spire.
The Stereo Array encircling the Spire was intricately complex, resembling the skeleton of an ancient Giant Dragon, and had numerous footholds for humans to occupy.
About 100 alchemists stood divided, mounted at the nodes of the Stereo Array.
Each alchemist was only responsible for a small part of the construction of the Stereo Array.
Aside from Madimanson and the other Alchemy Sages within the Alchemy Cathedral, nobody knew what would happen after the entire Stereo Array was fully charged.
As the alchemists held their positions, Madimanson himself, carrying an Alchemy Briefcase filled with Soul Gems, opened the Floor Gate of the Spire Hall and stepped into the Secret Passage leading downward.
Following the Spiral Staircase round and round, Madimanson arrived at the end of the Secret Passage, where he saw the Blood Sun Seal Descendants sealed by an Array of steel, energy, and Crystal Stones.
The offspring resembled an eyeball sprouting tentacles.
It was listless, its skin dull and wrinkled.
Upon Madimanson’s arrival, it lazily lifted its eyelids, revealing whites filled with fleshy lumps, casting a greedy gaze at the Alchemy Briefcase.
Madimanson had already entered a state of blank expression.
His whites and pupils were quickly replaced by fleshy lumps and blood vessels, emitting a blood scent identical to that of the Blood Sun Seal Descendants.
He opened the briefcase, pouring all the Soul Gems in front of the offspring.
The offspring stretched out its slender tentacles, coiling around the gems, eagerly absorbing the Soul Energy within.
The ashy Soul Energy flowed up the tentacles into the spherical body of the offspring, flesh reviving at the moment, as bright red sticky fog burst from inside the offspring.
