Chapter 277: Truly a Miracle

The battle on the ground continued, but a brief silence fell from above.

A silence as dead as the grave!

Everyone stared blankly at Su Nan, their faces filled with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

What kind of terrifying attack could kill nearly three hundred first-level wizards in one blow?

Is this really something a third-level wizard can do? Even Elliot, a true spirit descendant, couldn't possibly achieve such a feat!

Su Nan let out a gentle sigh of relief.

The Meteor Shower could be used for single-target attacks or area attacks, but the latter's damage was too dispersed, resulting in lower individual damage, only capable of killing first-level wizards and at most heavily injuring second-level wizards.

Moreover, there was the issue of excessive consumption.

That last strike had drained more than half of his mental energy, and he could no longer cast it a second time.

Fortunately, his objective had been achieved.

At this moment, the people in the Starlight Wizard Tower also reacted, and Lize immediately ordered.

"All personnel mobilize!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically, their spirits lifted.

Su Nan's strike had brought the high-end combat power of both sides back to a roughly equal footing, greatly boosting his side's morale.

As the Star Alliance wizards rushed out of the wizard tower, a new battle erupted once again.

In contrast to the invigorated Star Alliance wizards, the morale of the Black Sota wizards had undoubtedly plummeted to the lowest point.

Elliot watched this unfold, his face darkening, and in his anger, he directly approached Su Nan.

He couldn't believe that Su Nan could unleash a second strike with such terrifying power.

Moreover, such an attack must have consumed an incredible amount of energy; Su Nan was now significantly weakened, making it the best opportunity to kill him.

As long as he took down Su Nan, it would greatly demoralize the Star Alliance and turn the tide of battle.

However, while Elliot guessed correctly about the first part, he miscalculated the latter.

Although he could not cast the Meteor Shower again, the enhancement from [Talent Specialization] to liquid metal and absolute forbidden zones was still in effect.

With nearly four times the enhancement, the two super talent abilities unleashed astonishing power! As soon as they clashed, Elliot was nearly turned into a sieve by the powerful silver metal storm, and the high-level talent ability 'Extreme Cold Fire' that Black Sota prided itself on was completely at a disadvantage against the liquid metal.

"Damn it! What kind of talent ability is this guy using?"

Elliot was both astonished and confused.

He also had [Talent Specialization] alchemical marks, but after activation, the enhancement of his talent ability was far inferior to Su Nan's.

It was like two different levels!

This left him utterly perplexed.

After more than ten breaths of combat, Elliot couldn't even get within ten meters of Su Nan.

The omnipresent, invisible pressure enveloping him dimmed the black flames on his body, significantly reducing his flying speed, making it impossible to dodge the incoming metal storm; he could only take it head-on.

Elliot had always been far ahead of his peers in strength; he had never fought such a suffocating battle, and the anger in his heart was about to erupt.

Until he glanced around, his ashen face slightly eased.

Despite suffering a great loss at Su Nan's hands, their side's more than twenty second-level wizards had basically not suffered any casualties, far outnumbering the Star Alliance.

Under their leadership, Black Sota still firmly controlled the situation.

As time passed, they would surely gain the upper hand.

As long as he could hold out until his subordinates dealt with the other wizards and came to support him, he would definitely be able to take down Su Nan!

Elliot took a deep breath and assumed a defensive stance.

Though it was frustrating, he decided to play the long game.

However, what Elliot could notice, Su Nan naturally would not miss.

"The Star Alliance's accumulation of high-end combat power is still a bit weak."

Su Nan thought to himself.

Having finally trained so many wizards, he didn't want to see too many casualties in this war; otherwise, even if they defeated Black Sota, the fragments of the divine corpse obtained would not be enough to make up for the losses.

As his thoughts raced, Su Nan quickly devised a plan.

With a flick of his wrist, a pitch-black spearhead appeared in his palm out of thin air. He then closed his fingers, and a deep black light instantly burst forth from between his fingers, coalescing into a pitch-black spear.

Serpent-like black arcs of electricity danced and flickered across the surface of the spear, exuding a heart-pounding, violent aura.

"The Black Thunder of the Dark Throne?"

Elliot's gaze fell on the pitch-black spear, a flicker of doubt flashing in his eyes.

But soon he felt something was off.

The Black Thunder of the Dark Throne was merely a low-light magical item; it couldn't possibly have such an astonishing aura.

The black spear in Su Nan's hand even gave him a tingling sensation! However, Elliot quickly found himself without time to think, as Su Nan suddenly hurled the spear, and a bolt of black lightning instantly tore through the void, shooting towards him like a meteor!

After breaking through to the third level of liquefaction, Su Nan also began to enhance his wizarding tools.

The Black Thunder was already an extreme attack-type third-level wizarding tool, and after enhancement, its attack power had far surpassed that of ordinary third-level wizarding tools, nearly reaching fourth-level! The black spear almost reached Elliot in the blink of an eye, and the violent lightning energy contained within it instantly broke through the layers of protection on his body, causing his skin to tingle.

Under the intense sense of lethal threat, Elliot's expression changed drastically, and without hesitation, he activated his third-level wizarding tool.

Crack!

With a crisp sound of metal grinding, countless black iron chains, as thick as a thumb, appeared out of thin air, interweaving to form a massive iron wall in front of Elliot.

The next second, the black spear crashed into the iron wall, and a dazzling burst of magical light erupted! Crack!

Large cracks appeared on the surface of the iron wall, which then shattered with a loud bang.

Fortunately, the black spear finally exhausted its energy and vanished without a trace.

However, Elliot's expression was far from good.

The black spear had broken through multiple layers of protection on him, consuming a significant amount of energy, yet it was still able to annihilate and cancel out with his wizarding tool. Didn't that indicate that Su Nan's wizarding tool was far superior to his third-level wizarding tool? But how could this be possible?

After all, his wizarding tool was given to him by his father, a true spirit wizard, and among many third-level wizarding tools, it was considered top-tier, yet it was outclassed by Su Nan's wizarding tool.

How could a wizard from a sealed plane, with no background or connections, possess such a powerful third-level wizarding tool?

Elliot was filled with suspicion, but before he could figure it out, his eyes widened in shock once more.

He saw Su Nan flick his wrist again, and another identical pitch-black spearhead appeared in his hand.

"…Are you kidding me?"

Elliot's gaze went blank.

Such a powerful third-level wizarding tool, and Su Nan had more than one? Whoosh! With a piercing sound of air being split, another bolt of black lightning shot towards him! Elliot's expression changed drastically, and he let out a fierce roar, flames erupting around him, wrapping him in layers, while various protective spells and magical items were activated.

In the next instant, the black lightning accurately struck his body!

Crack!

The sound of shattering glass echoed repeatedly; in that moment, countless magical items on Elliot's body exceeded their defensive limits and shattered, while various magical lights flickered and vanished!

The violent lightning erupted, engulfing Elliot entirely, from which came a heart-wrenching scream! Whoosh! The black flames surged back like a reflection, roaring and consuming the lightning, then quickly dimmed, revealing Elliot's form.

At this moment, he was no longer the spirited figure he had been before; he was in a disheveled state, covered in charred wounds left by the rampant lightning, and even his robe was tattered.

Elliot had never been this disheveled before, but he could no longer afford to be angry; he stared wide-eyed at Su Nan as he produced another pitch-black spearhead, his twisted face displaying a mix of terror and despair.

This book has recently updated at ##Six@@Nine@@Book@@Bar!!

In the next moment, he suddenly vanished from his spot.

When he reappeared, he was already over a thousand meters away, followed by another teleportation spell that took him another thousand meters away.

In that instant, Elliot had completely lost any thoughts of victory or anything else; all that remained in his mind was the idea of escape.

He was terrified by Su Nan's seemingly endless array of techniques.

Watching Elliot flee, Su Nan smiled coldly and unhesitatingly hurled the Black Thunder.

Whoosh! The pitch-black lightning instantly crossed several kilometers, striking Elliot like a bolt of lightning!

All of Elliot's trump cards had long been exhausted in the previous battle, and now he had no way to counter it; he could only face the despairing onslaught of the erupting black lightning!

A brilliant explosion of light erupted high in the sky, as if a black sun had risen from nowhere, with the violently dancing lightning scattering everywhere!

Then the light suddenly collapsed, rapidly shrinking along with the lightning, finally turning into a black dot and disappearing.

And Elliot was nowhere to be found.

Only Su Nan remained in place.

He opened his palm, and several wizarding tools and spatial rings lay quietly in his hand; these were the few items he had managed to save during the earlier attack, or else they would have been reduced to ashes along with Elliot.

After collecting his spoils, Su Nan turned and charged towards the other Black Sota wizards.

Seeing this scene, the Black Sota wizards were instantly filled with dread.

They never expected that Elliot would fall so quickly at Su Nan's hands.

The two had been fighting for less than a quarter of an hour, and Elliot had been completely obliterated!

As the harbinger of death approached, the Black Sota wizards were immediately terrified, losing all desire to continue fighting, and decisively turned to flee.

Su Nan casually threw a marking gem, which transformed into a bolt of lightning that struck one of the wizards.

After breaking through to the third level of liquefaction, the number of marking gems he could synthesize had increased to one hundred and three, and their power had soared to the point of being able to kill second-level liquefied wizards in one hit.

Even a second-level crystallized wizard would be heavily injured by a single hit.

Among the Black Sota wizards present, the strongest was only a second-level crystallized wizard, and they were not in peak condition; basically, being hit by a marking gem would result in immediate death.

Su Nan chased for over a hundred kilometers, throwing out seventy or eighty marking gems, resulting in the deaths of as many as ninety-three wizards at his hands.

Other Star Alliance wizards also took the opportunity to strike down many.

The more than four hundred Black Sota wizards who had come in with great momentum ended up with only about twenty or thirty managing to escape, and even that was an understatement of their losses.

As the upper-level wizards either died or fled, the morale of the Black Sota army on the ground also collapsed; aside from the golems and the wizard tower still resisting under the control of the tower spirit, the rest of the army quickly fell into disarray.

In contrast, the Star Alliance army's morale soared, quickly gaining the upper hand and driving the enemy back step by step.

With the war developing in this direction, the Star Alliance's victory was already a foregone conclusion.

To capture the remaining Black Sota wizard tower intact, Su Nan ordered everyone to slow their offensive, merely consuming the energy of the enemy's wizard tower, waiting for its energy to be exhausted before striking to take it down in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, far away, two wizards were intently observing the battlefield through a scrying eye.

When they saw Elliot's death and the Black Sota wizards in disarray, the leading young wizard couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"I didn't expect the Star Alliance to be able to send in so many troops."

Cyril, who stood slightly behind the young man, smiled and said, "I felt something was off earlier, but I didn't expect the Star Alliance to have sent in so many troops. It seems they must have mastered some means of rapidly deploying forces!"

The young man nodded slightly but didn't take it too seriously.

There were many miraculous means in the wizarding world; as a true spirit descendant, he had seen quite a few and wasn't overly surprised.

Instead, he was more interested in the power Su Nan had displayed.

"From the looks of Su Nan, he should have broken through to the third level of liquefaction."

"To be able to kill a true spirit descendant like Elliot with just third-level liquefaction, no wonder Maisha values him so much and says he has a great chance of advancing to true spirit wizard in the future."

Hearing the young man's words, Cyril smiled but remained silent.

He knew that Ronin Ward and Maisha were both true spirit descendants, and there was a competitive relationship between them; they had often tried to outdo each other. Therefore, after Maisha recommended the Star Alliance to become an affiliated organization of the Codex of Wisdom, Ronin had taken an interest in the Star Alliance.

This was also the main reason Ronin had brought him here.

"A sealed plane that has been closed for two thousand years has actually produced such a genius; it's truly a miracle."

Ronin sighed and turned to leave.

"Let's go back; the remaining unclaimed fragments of the divine corpse are dwindling, and the Dark Throne has been restless lately; those guys are probably about to make a move."

Cyril hurriedly followed, asking, "Who do you think the Dark Throne will target?"

Ronin chuckled and said, "The Dark Throne isn't foolish; unless it's a situation like the Deep Blue Alliance or the Savage Spirit, they will only target weaker opponents, likely those second-rate wizarding forces."

"That's true," Cyril agreed.

There were only so many wizarding forces that could enter the Earth Crystal Plane; aside from a few large wizarding forces and the affiliated organizations of the Codex of Wisdom, the remaining wizarding forces were limited.

The Dark Throne could only choose from among them, and the options were quite limited.

"What do you think we should do next?" Cyril then asked.

Ronin pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The most important head of the divine corpse has yet to be found; we should focus our efforts on that. There are not many areas of the Earth Crystal Plane left that haven't been searched." (End of chapter)
