Chapter 174 Targeted Destructive Sorcery and Devastation
On the Wizarding Ship plane, the camp's alarm bells rang like a death knell in the cold void.
Jemin and Viola, along with more than two hundred other logistics wizards, floated silently in the sky above the plane.
Their figures appeared insignificant in the face of the vast crack in the sky.
As soon as the alarm was raised, they were recalled to the "ship" dimension by their commanders.
This is the wizarding expedition's last retreat and their safest place to think.
Above, through the massive spatial rift torn open in the sky, the war taking place on the Frostfire Plane was clearly visible, presented directly to all the wizards.
At this moment, the battle situation has completely turned the expeditionary force into a disadvantageous position.
The massive army of lava giants and yetis, with their sheer numbers and the advantage of fighting on home soil, is relentlessly squeezing the wizards' lines of defense.
The three strategic volcanoes of the Lava Giant, powered by magma from the earth's veins, would periodically spew out red light, turning most of the battlefield into a thousand-degree inferno.
The intense heat caused the lava giants to become incredibly powerful, transforming them into pure liquid lava that was virtually immune to physical attacks and most elemental magic.
Meanwhile, the surviving Yetis seized the opportunity to launch an attack from the other side using ice magic, coordinating with the Lava Giants' offensive to divide the wizards' cannon fodder.
Unlike the lava giants and yetis that fight on their home turf, they can continuously gather and replenish their forces across the entire plane, with their reserve forces numbering in the hundreds of millions, almost inexhaustible.
The wizards who came on the expedition had a limited supply of materials.
Their bio-beasts and golem cannon fodder need to be transported by air, cultivated, and alchemized. Once they are over-consumed, they cannot be replenished in a short time and can only be transported remotely by the dimensional workshops located at the border points.
That would be time-consuming and laborious, and wouldn't solve the immediate problem.
At this time, the second round of war on the Frostfire Plane had lasted for more than three days, and the number of corpses piled up on the battlefield by both sides was already in the tens of millions!
The wizard's cannon fodder army has been visibly reduced by more than half in the tidal wave of attacks.
Despite the absence of elite enemy units, the sheer number of enemies and the disadvantageous strategic environment have resulted in casualties among some combat-oriented wizards.
The wizards' battle lines were already overwhelmed by the torrent of lava giants and yetis, and the energy shield outside the camp was emitting bursts of rumbling under the continuous bombardment.
Occasionally, areas flickered with unstable runic light, teetering on the brink of collapse, seemingly about to be completely pierced at any moment.
However, the wizards at the rear, even witnessing such a perilous battle, showed little change in expression.
Seeing Viola's cool profile beside him, and the calm and collected faces of the other logistics wizards in the distance, Jemin understood.
It seems that for these wizards who frequently participate in interdimensional wars, the current disadvantages and even casualties are all within the calculations of the high-ranking commanders.
This is just the prelude to a dimensional war; a much larger storm is brewing.
Jemin subconsciously glanced behind him, where, on the desolate land of the Wizard's "Ship" plane, a huge cannon barrel suddenly emerged from the once flat, scorched black earth!
"This is really... outrageous. This thing can't even be called a cannon barrel anymore—" Jemin thought to himself as he looked at the astonishing caliber of the cannon barrel.
That colossal structure, with a caliber exceeding one kilometer, completely exceeded all his knowledge of "cannon barrels".
At this moment, energy was continuously accumulating inside this terrifying cannon barrel.
Looking into the depths of the cannon muzzle, clusters of eerie-colored light were rapidly converging at the center of the barrel.
It was a spectacle formed by the compression of pure and vast elemental energy to its extreme. Every time a strand of it gathered, it was accompanied by a subtle hum and distortion in the surrounding space, as if even the void itself felt uneasy in the face of this power.
This energy was so immense that Jemin could clearly feel the power it contained, enough to destroy stars.
With the destructive power of a wizard, if this were a purely offensive spell, it could probably shatter the Frostfire Plane into pieces!
But doing so would completely destroy the plane itself, which is not the purpose of the Wizarding Workshop's invasion.
Therefore, the magic contained within was never purely offensive magic from the beginning, but rather targeted destructive magic.
These two forms of witchcraft may sound similar, both involving the word "destruction," but they are actually completely different.
Offensive sorcery is purely physical or elemental macroscopic destructive force, designed to destroy all visible matter and energy.
However, the destructive magic is "precise" destruction. It is not an indiscriminate attack, but the dismantling and dissipation of a specific target. At this moment, the magic loaded in the cannon barrel is a carefully crafted magic that is designed to cause deep destruction to the lava giant!
This is the latest achievement of Master Elwin from the Norren Workshop, who has been working day and night for less than ten days.
Both researchers studied lava giants, but Jemin's research focused on discovering the lava giants' weaknesses and developing methods to limit and control them.
Master Erwin's research direction is much more profound. He focuses on targeted destruction of the Lava Giant's most basic elemental structure!
In simple terms, this is a targeted attack that breaks down the most basic particle structure of the lava giant.
It can penetrate to the most microscopic level of the living rock and molten plasma of lava giants, dismantle their molecular structure, and essentially annihilate them.
According to the information Jemin knew, in addition to the Lava Giant-specific destruction spell developed by Master Elwin, another level-five wizard participating in this expedition also developed a destruction spell specifically for the Yeti.
However, due to the Lava Giant Karamos's scheming, the Yetis who came to participate in the attack also suffered heavy losses, so there is no need to target the Yetis for the time being.
boom-
Before long, the distorted orbs of light in the cannon barrel condensed to their maximum, suddenly transforming into a terrifying beam of energy with multicolored light!
The beam of light tore through the void with a deafening roar, traversing the rift in the sky and striking the battlefield on the Frostfire Plane.
The beam expanded rapidly after leaving the muzzle, and when it passed through the spatial rift, it extended to tens of kilometers!
Its light instantly covered most of the battlefield, enveloping all living beings present in a strange and pure halo.
A deathly silence
Faced with the sudden attack, the commotion in the center of the battlefield abruptly froze.
However, something unbelievable happened!
Within that magnificent and colorful beam of light, neither the wizard's cannon fodder army, nor the yeti of the Frost Dark Realm, nor even the fragile flowers and hard rocks suffered any damage.
They still stand in place, neither melted nor frozen, their light appearing as if it were merely natural light with somewhat brilliant colors.
But only those lava giants, who were once majestic and powerful, turning into liquid in the high temperature and sweeping away everything, underwent a tremendous change.
The moment they came into contact with the beam of light, their bodies began to tremble violently, and they instinctively let out a painful cry, a cry filled with despair and indescribable fear!
Their lava bodies collapsed like sandcastles, their flowing lava blood boiling and disintegrating, instantly being reduced to nothingness in the beam of light.
They are not shattered or burned, but are directly disintegrated into the smallest particles at the material level, ultimately returning to nothingness!
The lava giants, whose numbers had grown to nearly ten million, vanished from the battlefield in just a few seconds!
This sudden and precise strike shocked all the natives of the Flamefrost Plane who participated in the war; they had never seen such a bizarre and efficient method of annihilation.
But the wizards weren't stunned!
"All battle wizards, charge! Cannon fodder, push forward! Annihilate the remaining enemy!" Before the aftershocks of the beam bombardment had even dissipated, Augustine's order was clearly transmitted to the ears of every battle wizard through the magic network.
The battle wizards were prepared; like predatory eagles, they seized the opportunity as the lava giants were "evaporated" and the battlefield descended into chaos.
The Yetis were momentarily stunned, then commanded their cannon fodder army to launch a full-scale attack.
The wizard cannon fodder army roared deafeningly as they mercilessly crushed the scorched earth left behind by the disappearing lava giants, their target the yeti army that was still in shock.
Various spells rained down as the steel golems and fleshy monsters charged forward recklessly.
The wizard's attack, like a devastating torrent, swept away all the remaining lava giants and yetis on the battlefield in one fell swoop. Soon, the native army suffered a complete rout.
The once mighty army, which had been marching forward with great vigor, had now completely lost its fighting spirit.
Both the remnants of the lava giants and the army of yetis abandoned everything and fled in panic in the direction they came from. Their original formations were completely destroyed, leaving only a pack of disorganized wolves and foxes running away.
The two monster kings, Karamos and Agron, who were always irritable outside the battlefield, did not blame their subordinates even when they saw their troops routed.
They were all shocked by the terrifying destructive power of that beam of light.
That wasn't fire, nor ice, yet it could instantly obliterate millions of lava giants!
This has surpassed their understanding of the inherent laws of this plane; it is a force that cannot be comprehended.
Their gazes were filled with solemnity and apprehension, and they dared not make any further rash moves.
On the "Ship" plane, Viola watched the scene unfold on the Frost plane through a crack in the sky, witnessing millions of lava giants vanish instantly and the Yeti army crumble under the wizard's iron hooves. A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
She glanced at Jemin beside her, whose eyes also gleamed with amazement, and said softly:
"Now, the war has entered its second phase."
