Chapter 311: Divine Magic, Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal
After Locke killed Witch Brittany, in the sky above Lilith's Cottage, standing on blood stakes before the dark gate among the many black wizards, within the eighteen black wizards from the Ghost Sacred Order, a Firekeeper responsible for preserving the Soul Torch suddenly spoke, "Brittany is dead."
"Sect Leader, the Infant Spirit Witch Brittany is dead. Her soul flame in the torch has disappeared. She should have been attacked by excessively powerful force in an instant, which is why she died."
The Firekeeper calculated in his mind, "Logically, the opponent must have at least magic pressure above 6000 to accomplish this. That is to say, the opponent must at least be a wizard with liquefied mental power."
"Moreover, this is just a possibility. Our Ghost Sacred Order wizards' life-preserving abilities are incomparably powerful. Under normal circumstances, they can't be killed. But this time Witch Brittany didn't escape."
Sect Leader Stephanie's expression was somewhat poor. Although Brittany was just an ordinary formal wizard of their Ghost Sacred Order, she was still an old member. Yet she died here.
This was no small blow to the Ghost Sacred Order.
The Infant Spirit Witch and Ice Soul Witch, this pair of sister witch combination, were quite famous within their Ghost Sacred Order.
Now that the combination was broken, it made Sect Leader Stephanie feel their Ghost Sacred Order had suffered considerable losses this time.
And up to now, they surprisingly hadn't gained much.
Sect Leader Stephanie's expression was ugly. "Who killed her?" The Firekeeper softly chanted a spell. A torch magic artifact appeared in his hand, a First Circle magic item that could be called a magic artifact. The Soul Torch was such an artifact.
The Firekeeper lightly touched the flame burning on the torch with his hand. Then a ball of pale soul flame appeared at his fingertip. Within the flame appeared the image of a person.
It was precisely the image of Locke Augustine.
Wizard Stanley from the Blood Curse Court who had already returned saw this image and immediately cried out, "It's the Eye Demon Wizard, Locke Augustine, that newly advanced wizard."
"That's right, his mental power has already vaporized. I don't know how he did it."
The Blood Lord glanced at him. "Mental power vaporization? He just advanced to formal wizard, right? How could his mental power be vaporized?"
"This wizard is not simple."
Sect Leader Stephanie frowned and glanced at Stanley who looked like a stray dog. "Even so, just a First Circle wizard with vaporized mental power couldn't possibly kill Brittany."
"Although Brittany's talent was ordinary and she took the wrong path, my Ghost Sacred Order's wizards' souls are all protected by the Soul Torch and aren't easily killed."
"Moreover, ghost magic has many life-preserving abilities."
Sect Leader Stephanie still couldn't understand what had happened. A trace of fury flashed in her eyes. "Give me the soul aura of the person who killed Brittany."
"I need to record it."
"Also, what do we do now? They've already activated the Life Barrier. Should we retreat?"
The Black Wizard Alliance's morale was already unstable at this moment.
Lilith's Cottage had already activated the large-scale Life Barrier. Their magic and undead troops could no longer be projected toward Lilith's Cottage.
Because part of the Life Barrier's characteristics was an anti-negative energy field, the numerical advantage of the undead sea didn't exist before the Life Barrier.
No matter how many undead sea charges, facing the Life Barrier, they would be destroyed in an instant like dried weeds.
Everyone looked toward the commander of this operation, the leader sent by the Black Wizard Alliance, Wizard Hammerk.
Wizard Hammerk said, "Mm, everyone needn't panic. We already anticipated this situation in advance."
"From the very beginning, I predicted this situation would occur. Of course, in my prediction, the Blood Curse Court's destruction of Lilith's Cottage should have been more severe. We should have at least captured their potion resource storage warehouse and obtained large quantities of Sacrifice Potions."
Wizard Hammerk glanced at everyone from the Blood Curse Court. At this time, whether it was the Blood Lord or the others, all felt their faces flush red, extremely embarrassed but different from before, Wizard Hammerk no longer maintained the Blood Curse Court's face.
With the Bride Blood Curse broken, the Blood Curse Court had lost both face and substance.
Black wizards were most realistic. Whoever's fist was bigger spoke with more confidence.
Hammerk said, "Previously, our Corpse Control Court's undead troops didn't join the destructive action against Lilith's Cottage because we were taking the opportunity to carve large-scale summoning arrays on the ground of their Lilith's Cottage city."
At this time, nine array patterns the size of basketball courts appeared on the ground of Lilith's Cottage port city. One array after another shot up into the sky, transforming into nine beams of light.
These beams of light transformed into nine support points in midair. The nine support points outlined an inverted pentagram pattern. Then a gigantic torso without limbs or head appeared above Lilith's Cottage.
At the locations of this giant torso's limbs were strange magical patterns.
Wizard Hammerk said, "This is the true killing move our Corpse Control Court prepared for this war—Holy Flesh Punishment."
"Everyone also knows that our Corpse Control Court is a comprehensive black wizard university, but our most formidable aspects are two major magic categories. The first category is the bone magic sub-direction of the spiritualism school; the second category is the prosthetic synthesis magic sub-direction of the spiritualism school."
"Our Corpse Control Court..." Wizard Hammerk curved his skeletal mouth corner, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, "one of our greatest goals is to use spiritualism magic to create a perfect and flawless flesh prosthetic limb."
"Holy Flesh is a byproduct of this process."
"It's the result of countless wizards from our Corpse Control Court's painstaking efforts." Wizard Hammerk said, "So regardless of the outcome of the previous battles, it wasn't important. Setting down the array to summon Holy Flesh was most important."
A trace of humiliation flashed in the Blood Lord's eyes. Hammerk's meaning was that whatever curses their Blood Curse Court released before were all unimportant matters. Providing cover for their Corpse Control Court's true plan was the most important thing.
At this time, in the city, the strange Holy Flesh synthetic life form, at the fracture points of its severed limbs, countless negative energy floods appeared, attacking toward Lilith's Cottage's Life Barrier.
In just an instant, the Life Barrier was battered into incompleteness.
The entire city was enveloped in negative energy bombardment from countless meteor-like attacks. That Holy Flesh activated negative energy attraction, drawing over surrounding negative energy, then launched another attack.
In the astrology system, Advisor Francis said somewhat incredulously, "That level of attack doesn't need to pause?"
Old Witch Forbes said, "Whatever Corpse Control Court can create, they've been pursuing synthetic life form bodies that can withstand even more powerful negative energy. That should be one of their achievements."
"However, the problem isn't big anymore. The scale of the black wizards' attack this time indeed exceeded our expectations, causing us to nearly lose control... but Locke successfully helped us buy time. So..."
In the alchemy cottage, Old Witch Forbes grinned. "Black wizards, you underestimate us white wizards too much."
"War has never been about who's more powerful, but about methods. Fighting like this saves the most money!"
"Take action!"
The next moment, a giant wooden spear descended from the sky, nailing Holy Flesh Punishment to the ground.
At the same time, radiance shining with crosses appeared above those black wizards' heads, while locking onto the wooden stakes and the dark gate, sealing the space and surrounding them within.
Wizard Hammerk's expression changed dramatically. "This is Virdantia University's... Holy School First Circle magic, divine magic—Cross Radiant Holy Sword Seal."
"When was this set up? This is bad. We previously focused all our attention on competing in magic with Lilith's Cottage's wizards and didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment."
"Could it be... this was a trap?"
