Chapter 413 First-stage form
This wind dragon is at least level five, and it is at least an "elite monster" in level five.
Although the level cannot be seen directly, most of the mages present made a quick judgment.
Because, this wind dragon can stand up to the Auckland Magic Crystal Cannon on its own.
Compared to the wind dragon's combat power and appearance, what really concerns all mages is that through its translucent glazed body, one can clearly see that there is a cyan crystal core on its head.
This cyan crystal core is no longer composed of wind elements, but has solidified into substance.
“It wants to become a real material creature.” On the Crown of Thorns, Master Theodore stared at the pair of terrifying eyes in the wind and said word by word.
Count Roland’s expression changed when he heard this.
Looking at Feng Long's indifferent and seemingly emotionless pupils, this time he seemed to see some greed contained in them.
That is greed for the mage plane.
All doubts and ailments were explained the moment the wind dragon appeared.
Gothe has never been able to figure out a question before:
Why are these wind elemental creatures so "fighting"?
Even if Feng Luo is completely finalized and opens up the passage between the mage plane and the secondary plane to which they belong, there will be no benefit to them at all.
Wind elemental creatures, as energy creatures, only need wind elemental energy to survive.
Although the mage plane also contains extremely rich wind element energy, the wind element energy of their own plane is completely sufficient, so why bother?
Even their own plane is more suitable for them to survive.
As a material plane, the energy contained in the mage plane is too complex, and for wind elemental creatures, there are too many useless impurities.
Now, everything has a reasonable explanation.
It turns out that the most powerful wind element creature in this secondary plane has grown to the stage of transformation into a material creature.
But if you want to truly transform into a material creature, you definitely cannot do it in the secondary plane of pure elements.
It must enter a real material plane such as the mage plane.
Even the appearance of Feng Luo was most likely driven by this wind dragon.
In a long period of time, after countless attempts, the wind dragon, which has almost no lifespan limit, was finally able to find a weak point in the connection between its own plane and the mage plane.
This is lucky.
With its strong power, it successfully got through this weak point.
Unfortunately, this weak point is located too close to the city of Auckland.
As long as it is not 180 kilometers, but 800 kilometers, maybe when the wind is completely stabilized, Auckland City will still know nothing about it.
Moreover, if the distance is 800 kilometers, for the mages of Auckland City, this wind network does not have to be destroyed.
Because the wind at this distance does not pose much of a threat to Auckland City.
But unfortunately there is no if.
If the wind dragon wants to cross this dragon gate and have real flesh and blood, it must keep the wind connection, and then enter the mage plane after the wind connection is finalized and stabilized.
If the mages of Auckland City want to keep Auckland City, they must destroy this wind network.
Both sides have reasons why they cannot retreat and make concessions.
It just depends on whose fist is harder.
Boom!
The golden light beam of the magic crystal cannon and the protruding cyan vortex of the wind dragon were constantly colliding violently and in a stalemate.
The burst of energy tore the entire sky into a yin and yang complexion.
Fight against general, pawn against pawn.
If the Magic Crystal Cannon and the Wind Dragon are generals from two planes.
The wind elemental creatures that constantly swarm out from the wind network are the "pawns" of the wind dragon.
The mage on the ship is a pawn of the mage plane.
But now, whether it is the general level or the pawn level, the mage side is showing an unfavorable trend.
It’s not that the Oakland Magic Crystal Cannon, which is the war-level alchemy weapon of Oakland City, is weaker than the Wind Dragon, but that the activation of the Magic Crystal Cannon requires continuous consumption of the magic power in the Orric Crystal.
But on the wind dragon's side, while it is spitting out a cyan vortex, the cyan crystal core at its head is constantly absorbing the abundant wind element energy in the plane.
It is not a perpetual motion machine, but if there is an "energy" supply, the Auckland Magic Crystal Cannon must be drained first.
On the other hand, the combat power of the mage is also stronger than the wind elemental creature, which is only at the third level.
But the problem is the same.
Whether fighting or defending, mana and the magic power of the Orric Crystal are consumed.
·Wind elemental creatures are constantly pouring out. There is a plane for them to protect them, and they seem to be endless in number.
The only good news is that both the formation of wind element creatures and the breath of wind dragons are consuming the wind element energy in the secondary plane.
So what can be seen with the naked eye is that the shaping speed of Feng Luo has begun to stagnate, and the spatial cracks no longer continue to expand.
If the stalemate can continue like this, Feng Luo will naturally be defeated.
The question is, can it survive?
Hurrah!
All the warships were shaking violently due to the aftermath of the collision between the cyan vortex and the golden beam of light.
The light shield covering the surface of the warship is constantly generating ripples due to the impact of wave after wave of wind elemental creatures.
Boom!
Another wave of wind elemental creatures hit the light shield. Ripple-like energy fluctuations spread along the meridians of the hull, causing the hull to shake.
On the ship, the mages gritted their teeth and cast various spells.
Conjuration and evocation spells are undoubtedly the mainstream.
The fireballs and ice cones bursting out from the palms of the palms constantly bombarded the wind elemental creatures in the air.
No one is stingy with their mana, and they have no reservations.
These wind elemental creatures seem to be inexhaustible, but the formation of each wind elemental creature requires the consumption of wind elemental energy in the secondary plane.
Once they are killed in the mage plane, the wind element energy that makes up their bodies will not return to the secondary plane of wind element, but will be tyrannically digested by the mage plane.
If this continues, the energy of the wind element in the secondary plane of the wind element will continue to decrease, and the wind network will slowly dissipate.
The only bad thing is that this is not a game, so there is no mission progress bar.
No one knows how many wind elemental creatures need to be killed to reach the critical value that causes Feng Luo to collapse.
The defeated wind elemental creatures turned into wind elemental energy, and most of the cyan halo dissipated like mist, returning to the mage plane.
But there are also a small part that are absorbed by the Soul of the Wilderness.
"Cyan 7% 5%"
In the eyes of Gothe's Mandora, the proportion of cyan in the body of the Wild Soul has begun to be infinitely close to 100%.
In fact, there is no need for such a precise numerical value, because it can be seen with the naked eye that the transparent soul body part of the Wilderness Soul is being eaten away and dyed by cyan, and has gradually become invisible.
At the next moment, strange lines of light flashed from the surface of the Wild Soul's body.
Gothe's Mandora's Magic Eye glanced back and forth on the Wild Soul's body several times, and could no longer see even 1% of the transparent part.
This means that the Soul of the Wild has absorbed enough wind element energy to enter the first stage of form and officially complete the transformation from the Soul of the Wild to the Soul of the Storm.
A strong wave of magic power spread out from the body of the Wild Soul.
The surface of its soul body rose with cyan fragments of light, spreading upward from its feet.
Wherever the stream of light passes, the originally illusory soul body gradually becomes solid, as if it has been injected with the power of life, turning into an entity glowing with the texture of glass.
At first glance, it looks somewhat similar to the terrifying wind dragon circling behind Feng Luo.
But the difference is that the Wind Dragon is stuck in a semi-illusory and semi-substantial state, while the Wild Soul completes the materialization without any hindrance.
The cyan streamer goes all the way up.
After it flashed past the head of the Wild Soul, the Wild Soul, or Storm Soul, opened its eyes.
The pupils were no longer void, but turned into two substantial storms, which seemed to contain some inexplicable emotions.
This is the first stage of the Storm Soul.
It's just that the war situation is fierce now, and Gothe has no time to explore the ability of the Storm Soul.
But the next moment, the Storm Soul showed Gothe that he was unusual in his first-stage form.
It opened its mouth to the void, as if inhaling, and made a "hissing" sound.
An abnormal suction force spreads around the Storm Soul.
Not only the warship Gothe was on, but also the defeated wind elemental creatures on the three or four surrounding warships. The dissipated wind elemental energy was like boiling, rushing towards it crazily.
The moment these wind elemental energies were injected into the Storm Soul's body, they turned into blue lines that traveled on its surface, outlining its outline more and more clearly.
This absorption efficiency is not only doubled, but even ten times improved!
See the whole leopard at a glance.
The speed of "eating" has increased so much, and other places must not be as weak!
Some people are happy and some are worried.
While Gothe was pleasantly surprised because Storm Soul entered the first stage, the atmosphere on the Crown of Thorns was extremely dull.
"We can't go on like this," Master Theodore muttered, staring at the wind above the sky.
The confrontation continues.
No one can be sure whether the magic power of Orric Crystal was exhausted first, or whether Fengluo collapsed first due to the rapid consumption of wind element energy.
If it’s the latter, that’s naturally good.
But if it is the former, then what will happen to them next will be a catastrophe.
Not only will the entire fleet present be wiped out, leaving no survivors, but after the winds stabilize, the city of Auckland will also cease to exist.
Hence, you can’t gamble, you must take the initiative to do something.
"Masters of the fourth level and above are ready to rush to the wind with me and face the wind dragon." After careful consideration, Master Theodore gritted his teeth and made this difficult decision.
Just like the wind dragon cannot transform into a material creature in the pure energy plane, once the material creature enters the pure energy plane, it will also face various discomforts, and even be eroded by energy and turn into an energy creature.
Hence, this secondary plane of the wind element is definitely a dead end for human mages and should not be stayed for a long time.
Even just at the entrance of the space passage, you have to withstand the erosion of wind element energy.
Not to mention that there is such a powerful wind dragon among them.
But now, they have no choice.
In order to win, you must take risks.
Mage Theodore's decision quickly spread throughout the entire fleet.
But in fact, most of the fourth-ring mages are still concentrated on the Crown of Thorns. Other warships either have one or two fourth-ring mages in charge of general command, or none at all.
For example, the warship where Gothe is located does not have any fourth-ring mage.
All the four-ring mages, whether willing or unwilling, responded to the call.
Even Count Roland was standing beside Master Theodore, ready to attack.
—As the nominal city lord and chief consul of Auckland City, his mage level is also as high as the fourth level.
In the Plantagenet dynasty, nobles did not have any privileges when performing such dangerous tasks, and they even had to take the lead.
Count Roland is very conscious.
Whether it is for the doctrine in his heart or for the glory and future of his family, he cannot escape this charge.
"All the fourth-ring mages are ready to follow me!!" Mage Theodore's voice floated over the stormy fleet.
Hhearing his voice, the four-ring mages activated their spell models one after another.
With the fluctuation of magic power, a soft light emitted around their bodies, and there was a slight sound of wind.
With the blessing of the spell, they became extremely light and even floated in the air.
【Flying】.
[Flying] is a third-level transformation spell. Like the first-level [Language Proficiency], it is a must-learn spell for third-level mages, and almost everyone has one.
Its spell effect is just as its name suggests, giving the mage the ability to fly.
That is to say, starting from the third-ring mage, the mage can start to soar in the sky.
Of course, this is not enough. In addition to [Flying], they also need to pre-bless various protective spells on themselves.
“For Auckland, kill!” Seeing that everyone was ready, Master Theodore shouted again.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the obsidian staff high in his hand, took the lead, and plunged into the ocean of wind elemental creatures as fast as lightning.
As he flew rapidly, a bright halo of flames suddenly bloomed around Master Theodore's body.
Even if wind elemental creatures came in like a tide and covered it, they still could not cover up the red light of the flame halo.
How can these wind elemental creatures, which are no more than the third level, no matter how many there are, stop a fifth-ring mage?
The overlapping wind elemental creatures, as long as they are slightly touched by the flame halo around Master Theodore, they will immediately burst into flames and turn into the most primitive wind elemental energy in an instant.
Count Roland followed closely, followed by other fourth-ring mages. Their speed was obviously slower than that of Theodore, or more than one step ahead.
Every person is shining with dazzling magic light, with different styles and colors, but the same thing is the powerful magic wave surging in them.
Hierarchical suppression is extremely clever in the extraordinary power system of this world.
With the fifth-ring mage as the arrow and the square formation composed of the fourth-ring mage, the wind elemental creatures can't even block them at all.
This is something everyone knows.
The real danger of this operation is after reaching the Fengluo position.
