End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1124
Chapter 1124: Double Attack
Unfortunately, the Dark Night Phoenix opened its mouth and breathed out. The flames filled the entire sky and transformed into a flood that devoured the Dark Night Phoenix, leaving no flames behind.
The continuous high-intensity battle exhausted everyone, and the mana consumption was very intense.
At this time, a few shadows hurriedly flew over from the side. After four seconds, Heaven Rank aura spread like a tide.
The unique pressure of Extraordinary Power transformed into a storm that ruthlessly pressured the human army.
The six powerhouses who could display the strength of the Heaven Rank had unsightly expressions as their strength was heavily affected. As for the two hundred Archmages, they had difficulty casting spells at all under that pressure.
“Damnit, Raging Flame Beastmen!
“These damned idiots came to cause trouble at such a time!
“Get rid of them, Darkness Elemental God, get rid of all these idiots!”
Morgan’s chest violently heaved, and his eyes were bloody red.
The others were also mad because the pressure of these few Heaven Rank Beastmen wasn’t targeting the magic beasts; it was targeting the human army!
After two seconds, those Heaven Rank powerhouses were already only a kilometer away. A few scarlet Aura Slashes sliced towards the human army.
Black smoke appeared in the sky, soon followed by meteors falling down from the sky.
Whether it was the aura slashes or the meteor rain, they all fell towards the human army and completely ignored the Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts.
“Hahaha, stupid humans, I have to thank you for finding this array! If not for you, we might not have been able to find the location of the array this time!
“Now, you can all die. The earth’s embrace is already awaiting you!”
The Gold Beastmen’s General, Gallsworth, was flying at the forefront. At this moment, Gallsworth was bursting with the power of a Heaven Rank powerhouse and could hardly cover up his Extraordinary Power fluctuations.
He kept swinging his greatsword, and thick Aura Slashes fell towards the human army in quick succession.
Behind Gallsworth were the Blood Bone Beastmen and the Black Iron Beastmen.
All the Beastman Tribes that entered the Raging Flame Battlefield had a Heaven Rank powerhouse, with the exception of the Bronze Beastmen.
As soon as they appeared, a few Heaven Rank Beastmen came forward and immediately started attacking the human army in an overbearing way. There were still several hundred Beastmen in the distance rushing over.
The humans were now simultaneously facing the attacks of several dozen Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts, four 1st Rank Heaven Beasts, and six Heaven Beastmen powerhouses.
The human side’s situation had suddenly worsened.
The shields surrounding Lin Yun were completely shredded to pieces, and only his Law Runic Shield remained. Dedale’s flaming defenses were torn apart, while Raphael’s fortress was grounded by the Aura Slashes…
Morgan’s Darkness Elemental God barely resisted four Aura Slashes, a dozen falling meteors, as well as a dozen spells cast by a few Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts. Half of its body disappeared without a trace, and it could only be recalled by Morgan to slowly recover.
Jouyi and Harren were also forced to keep retreating. Only the two hundred Archmages were in the worst situation.
The Beastmen’s attack instantly killed a dozen mages. The joint array of the fifty mages was almost blown out, and they all received light injuries.
Xiuban was clawed by one of the magic beasts and was sent flying a few hundred meters away.
Lin Yun’s expression turned dark, and the countless Law Runes covering his body kept throbbing, his mana fluctuations became somewhat chaotic. Mana burst out of his body and condensed into a mass of gently swaying translucent flames.
‘These damned Beastmen… They just had to show up now! Couldn’t they have appeared earlier or later? Sh*t, can’t they see the 2nd Rank Heaven Dark Night Phoenix!?
‘These idiots… Do they think they can do better against that Dark Night Phoenix?
‘Sh*t, this is so sh*tty! We were finally about to get rid of those few dozen Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts and four Heaven Beasts after so long.
‘But now, those brainless guys have arrived! How can we attack the array?’
After a dozen seconds, the human army was no longer able to resist. They simply couldn’t handle the double attack from the magic beasts and the Beastmen.
Furthermore, the Beastman army following those Heaven Rank powerhouses had arrived. With a few hundred Beastmen joining the battle with their blazing auras, the losses of the human forces would be disastrous.
They could only retreat in this situation.
The human army rapidly retreated, but the Beastmen didn’t chase. They instead stationed themselves not far from the array.
After retreating to their temporary camp, both Heaven Mages and Archmages started fiercely cursing the Raging Flame Beastmen.
“Are these idiots brainless? Couldn’t they see that 2nd Rank Heaven Dark Night Phoenix?
“They came to attack us! They must be crazy. If we fought, that Dark Night Phoenix would definitely get rid of us.
“They should have killed those magic beasts! They are completely blind!”
Morgan stomped the ground as he kept cursing the Raging Flame Beastmen.
Dedale gritted his teeth loudly, the three flames floating at his side continuously spouting flames. A violent aura spread in his surroundings.
Raphael kept taking out materials from his spatial ring with a dark expression, mumbling under his breath about how he could use an array to kill those Raging Flame Beastmen.
Jouyi took out a quill and sheets of paper and started making calculations regarding how to get rid of the Blood Bone Beastmen that had attacked him. As for Harren, he was wrapped in darkness and was fiercely breathing for air.
Lin Yun’s eyes were like burning flames and his mana fluctuations were very unstable.
Attacking the array had originally been very difficult. The Dark Night Phoenix was too disdainful to attack the humans and simply didn’t join the battle itself.
This was the arrogance of a magic beast. The 2nd Rank Heaven Dark Night Phoenix looked upon that group of Archmages as if they were a bunch of ants waiting to die. As long as these ants didn’t jump above its head, it wouldn’t bother to kill them… It didn’t even bother to glance at them.
As long as they got rid of those few dozen Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts, they would be able to trade for another drop of Beast God’s Blood. At that time, they would have one extra Heaven Rank powerhouse.
And the mana crystals of the six Heaven Beasts were definitely each worth ten Pseudo Heaven Rank Mana Crystals. After completely getting rid of six of them, they would be able to trade for another drop of Beast God’s Blood.
With four Heaven Mages accompanied by Dedale and Lin Yun, who both could display the power of a Heaven Rank powerhouse, they would have the power of eight 1st Rank Heaven Rank powerhouses and could more or less challenge the Dark Night Phoenix.
But they were now in an extremely complex situation with the appearance of the army of Raging Flame Beastmen.
Without Beast God’s Blood, the others wouldn’t have a Golden Transformation Potion, and Lin Yun wouldn’t have the raw materials to expand the God Fire Ember.
Lin Yun couldn’t really remain calm. After all, only in the Raging Flame Battlefield would he have such a huge opportunity to obtain Beast God’s Blood.
And next time the Raging Flame Battlefield opened, he might not be able to see Beast God’s Blood.
No matter how useful it was, if he missed it, he would thoroughly miss the opportunity.
“What should we do now? With those stupid Beastmen here, our plan to retake the array could be considered a failure.”
After Morgan cursed for a while, not at all showing the dignity of a Heaven Mage, he gritted his teeth and asked for the others’ opinions.
Everyone had dark expressions as they answered. Raphael frowned and softly sighed.
“Those Raging Flame Beastmen have a thorough understanding of the Raging Flame Plane. From what they said, it sounds like they knew what was going on with the Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts.
“They knew of the existence of the array, but it sounded like the array’s location is different every time the Raging Flame Battlefield is opened.
“They must know how to occupy the array. Right now, they are most likely planning how to get rid of us first…”
Harren sneered, “They have the buffs of the Raging Flame Battlefield, and their power is stronger than what they can display in the outside world. After advancing to the Heaven Rank, they can still use Extraordinary Power. They definitely want to get rid of us.
“If they kill all of us here, the losses of the human alliance will be too big. Killing a few Heaven Mages and first-rate Archmages at once would be a huge blow to us.
“That might even let them reverse the situation in the Raging Flame Plane…”
Dedale frowned, lost in thought. After a while, he shook his head and said, “This is troublesome. Wanting to get rid of the Raging Flame Beastmen is very difficult, and even if we succeed, our losses would be huge. We definitely wouldn’t have the power to take back the array from the Dark Night Phoenix.
“Even if we end up victorious in this Raging Flame Battlefield, we won’t have gained much. No matter what, we don’t come out ahead.
“Those damned Beastmen must have planned this. If they can’t get the array, they’d rather stop us from getting the array!”
The group consulted for a while, but they couldn’t come up with a way to take back the array.
The only outcome of the discussion was that the Raging Flame Beastmen stopped them from getting the array because they couldn’t get it themselves.
The Raging Flame Beastmen knew the secrets of the Raging Flame Battlefield. After entering, they had started gathering mana crystals, and once they exchanged them for Beast God’s Blood, they would only need to directly fuse with it to reach the Heaven realm.
Those that could advance to the Heaven Rank almost all broke through, so they had twice as many Heaven Rank powerhouses as the humans.
The human side only had four people that had truly advanced to the Heaven Rank, while the Beastmen had eight.
Moreover, the Raging Flame Beastmen could use Extraordinary Power and could display power that was a bit stronger than the human powerhouses.
Under such circumstances, wanting to take back the array was impossible.
Everyone apart from the Heaven Rank powerhouses was gathered there, discussing ideas and plans.
Regardless of who thought of a plan, it either wasn’t feasible or the chances of success were too low.
The group argued for a while and still didn’t agree on anything. At this time, Lin Yun frowned and got up.
“I’ll go have a chat with those Raging Flame Beastmen.”
Those words made everyone fall silent. After an awkward moment, they all looked at Lin Yun strangely.
“Sir Merlin, were you confused by those brainless guys?” Morgan cautiously asked.
Lin Yun’s expression remained dull as he threw a faint glance at Morgan.
“This is the only way.”
