End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1128
Chapter 1128: Cooperation
“Half? What half? Sir Merlin, what do you mean?” Morgan stammeringly asked. But everyone understood the meaning behind that sentence… It was just that it was too scary.
The muscle-brained Raging Flame Beastmen had never compromised with the humans they were at war with. Yet they actually agreed to give up half?
Didn’t that mean cooperation? After taking over the array, half of the profits would go to the humans.
But the Raging Flame Beastmen already had eight Heaven Rank powerhouses. If they all advanced, then they could only bring the Beast God’s Blood back to the Raging Flame Plane to give it to others that could complete the Extraordinary transformation.
However, there weren’t that many powerhouses among the Raging Flame Beastmen that could fuse with the Beast God’s Blood. Only those who reached the peak of the 9th Rank would be qualified to complete their Extraordinary transformation. Ordinary 9th Rank powerhouses could only dream of it.
There might be powerhouses able to use the Beast God’s Blood after a few decades.
But it was different on the human side; there were too many Mage Towers and forces, and not a single one of them would dislike having too many such things.
Archmages’ lifespans weren’t short, and every Mage Tower had Archmages stuck at the peak of the 9th Rank.
As long as there were enough Golden Transformation Potions, a large number of powerhouses could be raised in the short term.
It was impossible for the Beastmen not to know this. If the Beastmen were stuck here, their losses would be far smaller than what the humans would experience, and their harvest would be far greater. They would be the true winners of this Raging Flame Battlefield.
Yet they were actually cooperating?
Were they really that stupid? Cooperation meant that they would give up their victory. This Raging Flame Battlefield could end up peacefully, but they would instead let the human side catch up.
After leaving the Raging Flame Battlefield, this little bit of power would give a greater advantage to the humans on the battlefield.
They couldn’t understand what had happened. Although they said that Beastmen were stupid, the Beastmen weren’t stupid to the point of not understanding this.
The group remained silent and looked at Lin Yun with a strange expression, waiting for his explanations.
Lin Yun slowly walked over.
“Prepare for battle. I’ve already signed a contract with the Beastmen. We will cooperate in attacking the array, and after taking it, all the mana crystals harvested will be used to trade for Beast God’s Blood. I’ll then refine it into Golden Transformation Potions and divide it evenly between both sides. The first bottle will go to whoever made the biggest contribution.”
After Lin Yun finished, a person of the Odin Royal Family loudly questioned, “You actually want to make potions for the Beastmen! Don’t you know what that means? They will…”
That guy had barely said a few words before noticing something wrong. No one was supporting him, and they were, in fact, looking at him very strangely.
Morgan laughed, “Fool, do the Beastmen need potions to advance to the Heaven Rank?”
Everyone remained silent. The Beastmen could advance to the Heaven Rank without a potion, but now, the humans would have the opportunity to advance to the Heaven Rank.
And on the side, Raphael, who had a deep knowledge of alchemy, couldn’t help laughing.
‘Those stupid Beastmen are really pitiful. They were actually tricked by Sir Merlin due to their lacking alchemy knowledge.
‘The effects of the Golden Transformation Potion are worse than the raw Beast God’s Blood for them. They must be thinking that it would show better effects when refined…
‘They are really pitiful, they actually signed the contract…’
Jouyi also had an understanding expression. He looked at Lin Yun and shook his head with a smile. He then said a few words to Harren and Harren immediately started laughing.
“I have to say, how could Sir Merlin not have prepared a trap for those Beastmen to jump into…”
Many people smiled. Potioneering was completely different for Beastmen than it was for humans. Who knows how many times potions have been used to trick Beastmen over the years?
Moreover, potions usually did have better effects than the raw materials. Over the years, the potions that the Beastmen had come into contact with were no exception. That’s why it was common sense to them.
That member of the Odin Royal Family had a red complexion and didn’t dare to say a single word, for fear of becoming a laughingstock.
That offer had already exceeded everyone’s expectations. Although they were curious as to how Lin Yun had succeeded, no one dared to ask.
They were getting benefits, so the process wasn’t important, especially since the negotiation process had been discussed by others. Compared to the profits they would receive, the process wasn’t important at all.
Soon, the human army and the Beastman army gathered not far from the array. There were close to seven hundred Sword Saints and Archmages. Such a huge force gathered all of the peak forces of the human side and Beastman side.
There were eight Heaven Rank Beastmen, four Heaven Mages, and two human powerhouses that could display the power of the Heaven Rank for a total of fourteen 1st Rank Heaven powerhouses.
As such a powerful force was gathered together, the surrounding mana fluctuations couldn’t help condensing and then converging into a transparent fluctuation that charged into the sky and tore the clouds into fragments.
On the path to the array, the various magic beasts lying on the ground raised their heads. Even the Dark Night Phoenix extended its wings, dark blue flames burning in its eyes as it impatiently looked into the distance before letting out a sharp cry.
All the Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts and Heaven Beasts got up on their hind legs and let out snarls.
The eyes of the remaining four Heaven Beasts flickered with coldness as they roared at the Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts.
Immediately, the several dozen Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts seemed to instantly become violent as they crazily charged at the gathered humans and Beastmen.
The earth started to shake, and the elements started becoming chaotic. Energy Spheres condensed and flew towards the humans and Beastmen.
The Energy Spheres filled with destructive power arrived before the allied armies, and a dozen mushroom clouds suddenly appeared. They were emitting destruction aura and were frantically spreading towards all sides, destroying everything in their way, even shattering hills.
Rocks were swept by the waves of destruction and instantly turned into ashes, which were then annihilated in those energy waves.
Amidst the explosions, concentrated chants echoed and spells were cast.
The weakest among these Archmages were at the 7th Rank, and they could release a dozen spells below the 6th Tier within a second.
The powerful 9th Rank Archmages could cast forty to fifty Low Tier Spells within a second, while Heaven Mages could easily cast spellwaves.
Several hundred Archmages casting together formed a towering tidal wave of spells.
The earth-shattering spells ruthlessly collided with those destructive Energy Spheres, and the berserk power formed a terrifying chaotic zone between the two armies. Elements and air couldn’t exist in that location. It was a pitch-black vacuum that kept exploding and annihilating everything.
On the side, the Beastmen Sword Saints raised their greatswords, and scarlet Aura Slashes shot out as if they were several hundred thick crystal swords.
The countless greatswords swept with berserk power and ruthlessly pierced the shockwaves of the Destruction Energy Spheres. The fierce power collided, and it was like that pitch-black space was forcibly cut into a few hundred pieces.
A total of fourteen Heaven Rank powerhouses and several hundred Archmages and Sword Saints were facing a few dozen Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts. Even if these magic beasts were only a step away from the Heaven Rank, the allied armies were pressuring them.
The charging Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts managed to charge a kilometer forward before being thoroughly suppressed. On one side were the chaotic spell tidal waves coming one after another, and on the other was a flood of ruthless Aura Slashes tearing and slicing.
In less than five seconds, the three Barbarian Oxen at the forefront were forcibly torn apart. They couldn’t charge out of this sea of Aura and spells. A few dozen Aura Slashes and several hundred spells would hit them every second, which the Barbarian Oxen couldn’t resist.
After half a minute, eighteen Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts were torn apart. Blood flowed on the ground like rivers.
Even the four Heaven Beasts couldn’t stop the progress of the combined human and Beastman armies. Once they were a kilometer away from the array, the Dark Night Phoenix, which had been hiding its head in his wings, looked up once again.
The Extraordinary aura of a 2nd Rank Heaven Beast burst out and formed gales that whistled past, pressuring the fourteen Heaven Rank powerhouses and everyone else.
As for those magic beasts, their power was instead strengthened, and they fiercely charged with red-eyes, instantly counterattacking.
Morgan yelled in shock, “Damn, how could that Dark Night Phoenix be so powerful? Its aura alone can suppress all of us! It actually suppressed the strength of a dozen Heaven Rank powerhouses and several hundred Archmages and Sword Saints!”
