The solid wall has long since collapsed and turned into a ruined wall. The ground is full of pits and pits, with traces of fierce battles everywhere. The sky is gray, as if suppressing a breathless mist.
Within the broken wall, a tall tower stood in place.
There were green demon corpses everywhere around, and green flesh like plants covered the ground. The air was filled with a weird smell, which was somewhat similar to the smell of blood, but it seemed different from it.
To the west of the Lital area, the huge body of the Larut giant tree fell beside the collapsed wall.
It has completely lost the breath of life, and its body like a tree and plant is burning with a large amount of blue flames, making a crackling sound.
Rumble!
Above the sky, the Purgatory Bone Dragon vibrated its pale bone wings, flew past the distant sky, and landed on a collapsed ruin. After letting out a deafening roar, its cold eyes stared at everything below.
Crosnuo jumped off the back of the bone dragon and stood with his hands behind his back with an indifferent expression.
"Finally... is it over?" To the north of the tower, Enzo looked pale, holding the Soul Bone wand in his hand. He stood there tiredly, looking around.
Ahead, in a cage formed by shadows, a child of the forest who looks like a human girl is trapped.
At this time, Sani, the Son of the Forest, has fallen into a coma. A layer of green crystals has condensed around her body like frost, protecting her whole body. This is one of the innate abilities of the Sons of the Forest. When their lives are about to end,
means of self-protection.
There were more than ten wizards scattered around.
The condition of almost all the wizards was extremely bad, and most of them were seriously injured. Even the three white-robed wizards, including Tracy, were lying on the ground at this moment, their lives and deaths unknown.
An hour has passed since the arrival of the Purgatory Bone Dragon.
With the addition of Crosno, the situation was completely reversed. Relying on the terrifying power of the third-level wizard, the mother body of the giant tree, which was also a third-level life form, was severely damaged and fled the Lital area in a very embarrassed state.
Crosno piloted the Infernal Bone Dragon and returned in vain after a pursuit.
Without the parent body of the giant tree, the children of the forest were unable to compete with a third-level wizard, so they were quickly suppressed. Millions of green demons died like ants under the breath of the bone dragon.
To the north of the tower, Enzo teamed up with more than a dozen wizards and finally subdued the children of the forest they faced.
In this battle, Enzo was the main attacker, with the other wizards assisting, but even so, the wizards still paid a heavy price to finally defeat the second-level life form-level Son of the Forest.
"Well done, Enzo!"
Next to him, Wizard Wright's face lit up with joy and he laughed wildly, "What a joy! We actually defeated the Son of the Forest. This is a second-level life form!"
"Thank you, Sir Enzo."
Ural also nodded and said solemnly, "The Conqueror Wizard's combat effectiveness is indeed powerful. Although Enzo has been promoted to the first-level wizard for less than a year, his strength is already stronger than ours!"
"Your Majesty Ural, thank you very much. Everything is thanks to everyone." Enzo said with a humble smile.
On the ruins of the broken wall, Crosnuo stood with his hands behind his hands. Herbert and Gustav below looked at each other, floated over at the same time, and saluted Crosnuo respectfully.
"Lord Crosno," Herbert Gustav said.
Krosno's eyes were indifferent, he glanced at the two of them and nodded slightly.
"The person in charge of my Lital area, the second-level wizard Herbert." Herbert thought for a moment and said, "Master Crosno can help, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of [Phantom of Crows]!"
"No need to talk nonsense, everything I did was just a deal with Froslai." Crosno said quietly.
Both Herbert and Gustav's eyes flashed, and they looked at each other again, and they both saw what the other was thinking. Just as they had speculated before, the reason why Crosno appeared in [Ekila World] was
Apparently some deal was reached between [Skull Castle] and [Phantoms of Crows].
It is precisely because of the exchange of interests between the two major organizations that Crosno will provide support!
...
Three hours later, in the laboratory on the 81st floor of the tower.
Because of the appearance of Crosno, the situation was reversed and the war ended. Herbert led a group of wizards to clean up the battlefield and deal with the follow-up matters.
"I can't believe that the three major organizations in the Dark Territory will one day join forces." In the laboratory, Enzo stood on the same spot, with a trace of emotion on his face, and the luster in his eyes.
According to the information we just received, the two major organizations [Skull Castle] and [Fang Blood Shadow] have sent forces to enter the [Elkila World].
The hatred caused by the three major organizations fighting for the coordinates has been completely forgotten with the emergence of greater interests. With the approval of the [Phantom of Crows] Academy, the three major organizations decided to join forces to conquer the [World of Elkila].
The cake that originally belonged to itself is now being divided by the other two organizations.
This may be something that is unacceptable to [Phantom of Crows] Academy, but judging from the current situation, it is indeed a bit of a last resort for the academy's senior management to make such a decision.
The academy's expedition in [Elkila World] has lasted for nearly two years, but it has been unable to make pioneering progress.
The large amount of resources invested in the early stage has almost brought the college to collapse. If some achievements cannot be achieved as soon as possible, the college will definitely face a serious financial crisis.
Under such circumstances, the top management of the college can only make this decision.
Choosing to join forces with [Skull Castle] and [Fang Blood Shadow] to jointly develop [Elkila World] will definitely cause the college to lose some profits, but at the same time it can also reduce the pressure faced by the college.
Although I don’t know what kind of contract the academy has signed with the other two organizations, at least for now, Crosno’s timely appearance prevented the crisis of the fall of [Lital Area].
"Now that the three major organizations have joined forces, the college will definitely make big moves next!"
"The power of [Skull Castle] and [Fang Blood Shadow] should be gradually invested in [Elkila World] soon, and if that happens, the mission of external development will definitely start again!"
In place, Enzo stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with thought.
The main goal of the expedition to another world is to continue to explore and expand. Previously, due to financial reasons, the college was unable to support the external expansion plan, but now with the support of the other two major organizations, everything will be back on track.
"When the development plan is restarted, I will definitely be sent to the outside world!" Enzo murmured.
As a Conqueror Wizard, Enzo's main task in the expedition is to counterattack and exploit, because only the Conqueror Wizard can exert its full combat effectiveness without relying on towers, and is the most suitable candidate for the task of pioneering.
"Since I don't have much time left, the experiment should be accelerated!"
Enzo took a deep breath and slowly raised his head. In front of him was a huge breeding tank. In the tank filled with nutrient solution, there grew a huge artificial twisted tree, with balls of mucus embryos growing on its branches.
Next to the breeding tank, there is a transparent glass cover.
The naked green-skinned girl was quietly soaked in the liquid, as if sleeping. Her body was covered with transparent tubes, which passed through the surface of the glass cover and connected to the cultivation tank.
A stream of special life energy is constantly being transferred from the body of the son of the forest to the artificial twisted tree.
In the recent war, the biggest beneficiary among the first-order wizards was definitely Enzo. He and other wizards guarded the northern area of the tower and successfully defeated a son of the forest.
Although other wizards also paid a lot during the battle with the Sons of the Forest, in the end, almost everyone had no objection to the ownership of the Sons of the Forest prisoners. Enzo obtained the ownership of the Sons of the Forest, but he also gave other wizards certain rights.
compensation.
Now, the second-level life form, the Son of the Forest, has become Enzo's trophy.
Based on the analysis and simulation of the chip, the life energy in the body of the son of the forest is extracted and used to cultivate artificial twisted trees. This can not only speed up the growth of twisted trees, but also greatly reduce the deformity rate of crocodiles.
"The artificial twisted tree cultivation plan is as good as this for the time being!"
Enzo stroked his chin, the luster in his eyes flashing. He had high hopes for the artificially cultivated twisted tree, because the previous fusion of the Gram wizard with the giant twisted tree and his promotion to the second-level life form was a good example.
The twisted tree with extremely strong vitality can not only serve as a mother body for nurturing living things, but also has the possibility of advancing to a higher-level life form.
Although it is still unknown whether the final experiment will be successful, Enzo feels that it is worth trying.
"Ding! The experimental task file is established... Goal: Artificially cultivate the twisted tree and make it evolve towards a higher level. Experimental plan: Extract the energy from the second-order life form Son of the Forest as nutrients for the growth of the artificial twisted tree
, this solution speeds up the growth of twisted trees.”
In my mind, the chip's voice sounded, telling a series of experimental data.
Enzo nodded slightly, then turned and left the laboratory, took the elevator to the 75th floor of the tower, and was about to return to his residence to rest when he met the Ural wizard head-on.
"How are you recovering from your injuries, Sir Ural?" Enzo asked softly.
In the recent battle, in order to fight against the Children of the Forest, several wizards were injured, as were the Ural wizards, but the most seriously injured were the Ritsi and others.
"Fortunately, I'm fine."
Ural shook his head, his face looked a little gloomy, and sighed, "It's a pity that Wizard Ritsi, Wizard Morton, and Wizard Rachel have all fallen."
"What? Wizard Ritsi and the others have fallen?" Enzo was a little surprised.
These three wizards are the guardians of the North Area of the Tower. They fought side by side with Enzo not long ago. It was with their assistance that Enzo was able to successfully trap the Son of the Forest.
"The opponent is a second-level life form after all!"
Ural lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "The war that took place today was the most serious loss during the Seventh Tower expedition. A total of twelve wizards died, and eight more were not out of danger."
"Twelve wizards fell?" Enzo frowned.
"That's right, and this number only refers to the death of wizards." Ural's face was gloomy and he said, "The loss of extraordinary knights is ten times more serious than that of wizards. Not counting those ordinary extraordinary knights, only the knight captains whose combat power reaches the first level of life form.
More than a hundred people were killed!"
Enzo narrowed his eyes and frowned.
The damage caused by the previous war was more serious than he imagined. The death of twelve wizards was a major event even in the Dark Realm, not to mention the deaths of countless extraordinary knights.
"The body of the fallen wizard is now placed on the 100th floor of the tower."
Immediately afterwards, Ural said again, "According to Lord Herbert's wishes, we plan to send all the wizards who died in the war back to the wizarding world in a few days using floating arks, so that their souls can return to the origin of the world!"
The soul returns to the origin of the world, which is the final destination of every guardian wizard.
When the guardian wizard is promoted, he relies on the power of the world's origin, so after his death, his soul will also merge with the wizard's world origin and become part of the world's rules.
"When the time comes, I will also return to the wizarding world with the Floating Ark."
After a moment, Ural spoke slowly and said in a deep voice: "In order to deal with the son of the forest, some mechanically modified organs in my body were seriously damaged, so I had to undergo some surgical recovery!"
"So serious?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, there is nothing we can do about it." Ural shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Since you have chosen to take the path of a mechanical wizard, you must bear some disadvantages!"
"Then... I wish Sir Ural all the best." Enzo nodded.
After a brief conversation, the two of them parted ways.
Enzo returned to his residence on the 75th floor of the tower, went to the shower room, took a shower, and put on a clean wizard robe. After some repairs, he gradually recovered from the previous damage caused by the battle.
"What a pity for these witchcraft puppets..."
In the room, Enzo was sitting beside the bed, with crystals placed in his open palms. Several of the crystals had been broken, and the energy inside them was scattered.
Due to the previous battle with the Children of the Forest, a large number of witchcraft puppets were damaged.
Enzo was not too surprised by this, because the witchcraft puppets he controlled, except for the lava giant monster, did not reach the level of first-level life forms in terms of combat effectiveness, and damage was inevitable.
"After being promoted to a formal wizard, ordinary witchcraft puppets are useless."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Enzo shook his head, put away the witchcraft puppet crystal in his hand, and thought, "However, as an official wizard, I should still form my own battle legion."
"Since the witchcraft puppet can no longer exert its power, the cultivation of the twisted tree must be accelerated!"
The luster in Enzo's eyes flashed. After a large number of the witchcraft puppets in his hand were damaged, he became more determined to cultivate the twisted tree. He planned to use the twisted tree's ability to infinitely breed crocodile beasts to build a fighting army of his own.
