From Hugo's previous inquiry, Bernardino already knew the other party's attitude.
Do you want to delay...
useless.
He was indeed in a hurry, but he was not in a hurry for minutes or hours.
Or did you simply reject yourself?
"But...does it make sense?"
Bernardino sighed almost pitifully.
The next moment, the walls around them instantly collapsed inwards.
The stone of unknown material, without any transition, collapsed inward and transformed into a sharp black shadow blade.
That was a blow that was enough to cut the stainless steel armor into pieces instantly!
However, behind Bernardino, a black half-length giant rose up from the mud, suddenly stretched out his huge hands and grabbed Bernardino!
After those shadow blades cut into the giant, their progress immediately slowed down.
But the next moment, these shadow blades suddenly lit up with white light.
About an eighth of a second later, there was a bang!
The shock wave alone raised the dust, and the "silt" on the ground was blown into a big hole. This was not real silt, but a field formed by the power of elements...
The only thing that can instantly destroy the power of elements is the same level of power!
Before Bernardino could launch a counterattack, Hugo disappeared into the wizard's tower without warning.
It's like a phantom.
It's like he never appeared.
After the fierce explosion, the black sludge giant was completely thinned by a large layer.
Dust from the explosion floated in the air.
Suddenly, they lit up with white light again. It was like many stars lit up around Bernardino.
A more powerful explosion than before, accompanied by light and air waves, resounded again!
This time, even one of the outer walls on this floor was blasted through.
The surging air waves brought about by the explosion roared out like cannonballs, blasting away the clouds outside the tower!
But just before the third explosion.
[Analysis completed]
Isaac suddenly stretched out his hand and moved his lips slightly.
[Counterattack completed]
The moment the dust floating around them lit up again, they suddenly stopped in place.
In the world invisible to the naked eye, they underwent reverse transformation at the moment of explosion. The power of the two transformation spells was perfectly offset, and the chain transformation terminated, so they became simple, powerless objects.
Glitter dust.
"...[chain explosion]?"
Bernardino recognized this transformation spell.
It itself is not an overly complex or difficult transformation spell. Its only difficulty lies in the gap between its two explosions.
Generally speaking, this spell is used to set up an ambush on the battlefield. After an explosion, more than a minute later, there will be another explosion at the same place. Because the trap has been triggered once, the enemy will subconsciously destroy the already exploded one.
The area is set to "safe". This spell is in line with this idea and carries out a secondary detonation in the "safe zone".
However, generally speaking... this spell requires black fire to be triggered.
Hugo used his own original wall material to transform it into a shadow blade of unknown texture, and used the shadow blade to instantly induce an explosion. Although it was just a small trick, it was indeed a spellcasting skill at the level of a tower master.
But at the next moment, the floor beneath their feet suddenly collapsed.
The floor instantly turned into a dense sea of electric current. If it fell directly, it would be burned to ashes by the high temperature in the blink of an eye, and broken down by the electric current and turned into powder.
However, they did not fall.
The black mud was not analyzed by Hugo, but it adhered to the walls on both sides. The fragile connection points were enough to support Bernardino's existence for a moment.
It didn't even exist for a tenth of a second before it was transformed into ordinary soil again by Isaac.
Among the cold-toned solid black walls, floors and ceilings, there are a few ugly patches of dirt like patches. No living person can point out this strong sense of dissonance.
Immediately afterwards, densely packed runes appeared quickly on the wall and spread. There were many "eyes" in the runes on the wall. Each eye shot out an extremely high-temperature laser. The laser shined on the opposite side and was hit by the other side.
Minimal mirror inversion.
By repeating this, the originally sparse lasers can multiply rapidly in geometric multiples until the entire corridor is filled with scorching lasers!
There is no doubt that this is an absolutely fatal trap.
If Bernardino came alone, he would probably be evaporated by it in an instant.
However……
【Are you showing off in front of me】
Even though it was just his soul, Isaac raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that might have been just contempt, but looked extremely cold on his translucent face.
In the air around them, the dust condensed and was transformed into many rotating prisms.
When those scorching lasers approached two meters from Bernardino, they were reversed, focused, and converged to hit the top of the tower!
A surging stream of rainbow-colored light instantly penetrated the three floors, and after a short delay, penetrated straight out from the top of the Zedi Black Tower and shot straight into the sky!
Even from a distance of more than ten kilometers, one can see such a strong beam of iridescent light spurting out from the top of the black tower.
After half a minute, the light flow gradually dissipated.
The surrounding walls were already red.
They are about to undergo the next step of transformation.
But Bernardino has found his way to the top of the tower
If you can't find a way, find one!
Bernardino's eyes suddenly ignited with black flames. The runes on his skin lit up again, and the burning rate of the Philosopher's Stone flowing in his veins suddenly doubled.
Black sludge splashed out and stained the wall where a passage had been blasted out by the laser cannon.
Countless black lines stabbed out from the black giant's body, connecting to the mud on each floor. Its body then suddenly rose up, as if it was being pulled by a three-dimensional mobile device, or like a giant spider with more than a hundred legs, grabbing
Bernardino quickly climbed to the top of the Wizard Tower.
And the tower owner "Hugo", a slender black figure with no arms or face, who was completely black, was waiting for him in the middle of the room.
This is a top secret place.
It is also a place of inheritance.
A place only the Tower Master and the Tower's Sons can come to.
Those wizards would never imagine what the scene here is like...
There is nothing around.
Yes, nothing.
In the black space, let alone anything used for entertainment, there was not even a seat, a table, or a lamp. If it hadn't been for a big hole, it would have been pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Because those things are meaningless to the tower owner.
"The original wizard tower... seems to have been damaged by me."
The corners of Bernardino's mouth raised, and his flat tone contained his trademark arrogance and pretentiousness.
"If it can be destroyed with this level of damage, it would no longer be a wizard tower."
The very tired young voice did not come from "Hugo".
Instead, it comes from the ceiling in the center.
The next moment, it was like a battery had been discharged.
A cylindrical cabin slowly dropped from directly above.
It flipped upside down as it approached the ground, and then opened the hatch.
The thick, unknown liquid spilled onto the ground.
A human-shaped gap is revealed.
The young man, who was all wet and naked, staggered out of the room.
A red light flashed in the young man's eyes.
The flames swept through his body in the blink of an eye, like magic, and the nutrient solution on his body was instantly transformed into a set of complex and mysterious robes.
"You really haven't aged..."
Bernardino squinted his eyes slightly and sighed in a low voice with no meaning: "Do you like the eternal life you bought with freedom?"
"My goal has never been eternal life."
The real Hugo replied calmly: "The mission of the Alpha Tower is to provide the fire of wisdom to the world. Just like the first tower owner, Lord Prometheus.
"Eternal life is just a 'tool' that allows me to perform my duties until I find an heir."
After spitting out Hugo, the entire Wizard Tower gradually stopped functioning as if it had lost energy.
In other words, the Black Tower of Zedi, the "Tower of Alpha", has stopped supplying energy to all other functions and facilities. All energy is provided to the owner of the tower, Hugo.
"I never thought that I could defeat you just by using projection."
Behind Hugo, a pure red flame roared and ignited: "I just... don't want to burn my students to death with my own hands."
A half-length humanoid whose whole body was made up of never-ending flames climbed up from the ground. Its hound-like claws surrounded Hugo on the left and right, turning the surrounding environment into a sea of never-ending flames in the blink of an eye.
The entire black tower was like a huge upright firewood, which was ignited from top to bottom. After a delay of several seconds, it burst into flames, instantly releasing terrifying light and heat.
The surrounding swamps and plants were all scorched dry by the surging flames.
The bright light emitted by the huge tower-shaped torch can be seen throughout the kingdom.
Transformation wizards never lack means of attack.
They are just worried about... whether their attacks will destroy their teammates together.
How terrifying an unscrupulous transformation wizard is... no one dares to imagine.
This is why Salvatore's "shadow" must always be vigilant and sealed.
"Since you killed all my students... you also freed me."
In the sea of fire, Hugo's voice was cold and rational: "If you want my soul, then come and give it a try. If you want to escape your fate... then let me kill you."
"If I just need to delay, I'm pretty sure. It doesn't matter how long you want to delay."
